“…This group has been largely ignored, even as interest in education and the specific stage of youth has grown from the sixteenth century onwards (Griffths 1996), and even though sociological, psychological, and historical research has identified the accumulation of human capital in the young as a vital catalyst for social change (Klimsta a.o. 2010;Roberts 2012b;Meeus 2011;Moller 1968). Some attention has been paid to students and the way they operated in the changing contexts of universities, as well as to the enormous expansion of the early modern schooling system (Rüegg 1992(Rüegg -2011Van Miert 2009;Houston 1988;Boekholt & De Booy 1987).…”

In Cesare Ripa's famous and often translated anthology of personifications, Studio (to learn) is described as a young man (un Giouane) in the original Italian edition (see fig. 1, above). In this image from the eighteenth-century English edition, the learning of youths is represented as an activity characterized by solitude: reading a book on one's own. The cock on the left functions as a symbol for the diligence of such isolated young learners (Ripa 1603; Ripa 1709; Ripa 1971). Ripa's personification represents youthful learning as quite the opposite of the collective production of knowledge in the laboratory, and the technologies of learning in the workshop or on the shop floor. In the early modern period, the "studio" referred to a place for reading and drawing surrounded by books, spatially removed from the workshop or "laboratory" in which manual work was performed (Dupré 2014).Yet, recent scholarship has shown that practical knowledgecollectively obtained in workshops or laboratoriesbecame increasingly characteristic of the dominant knowledge cultures
