Renaissance Education Between Religion and Politics
Few eras took education so seriously or were so innovative in their approaches to schools and universities as the Renaissance. At the same time, religious and political concerns strongly influenced educational developments. This third volume of articles by Paul F. Grendler explores the close connections between education, religion, and politics at several levels and in different contexts. It combines detailed research into various kinds of school…
The Universities of the Renaissance and Reformation
European universities had great intellectual and religious influence in the Renaissance and Reformation and exhibited considerable variety. Italian universities taught law and medicine to doctoral students. Their loose organization made it possible for professors to produce original research in law, medicine, philosophy, and the humanities. Northern European universities concentrated on teaching arts to undergraduates, while theology was the most…
The Humanities in Jesuit Schools 1548–1773
The humanities were the most important part of Jesuit education. The Jesuit lower school taught grammar, humanities, and rhetoric to boys and young men in the Society of Jesus and it was free. The goal was to educate boys in the humanities so that they would become adult leaders who would make wise decisions for the common good. Most Jesuit schools were small. Enrollment information for classes in the province of Milan in 1661 offers an example. …

Jessica M. Dalton, Between Popes, Inquisitors and Princes
This is a study of the papal privilege granted to Jesuit priests in the sixteenth century empowering them to absolve penitent heretics in the confessional and to lift the automatic excommunication that heresy incurred without the penitent needing to go to the inquisition.Without this privilege a priest could grant God's forgiveness to the penitent, but he could not lift the excommunication.This forced the penitent to go to an ecclesiastical autho…
Policy Dialogue
Catholic schools have faced a number of hurdles in recent decades, including the sharp decline of vocations among religious sisters who have worked in schools (as much as 90 percent in the last four decades), rising tuition prices for families, the sexual abuse crisis, and questions about institutional commitment to maintaining schools in light of these challenges. These changes affect all students and families, but have special significance for …
In the School of Ignatius
In a chapter entitled "Songs without Words," John Griffiths considers the repertory of solo instrumental music from the last third of the sixteenth century.Close to thirty solo instrumental publications transmit about 370 individual motets in a variety of tablatures almost always shorn of their texts and intended for performance in domestic contexts far removed from the liturgy.Here, the motet is reincarnated as a purely musical work for harp, lu…

control of authorities.Early modern Catholicism's success, then, as well as that of the Holy House's, hinged on the "multiple, simultaneous modes of regeneration stemming from, and entangling, all corners of society" (246).Vélez's book thus reminds us that, like devotion surrounding the Holy House, early modern Catholicism might have fashioned itself as a unified faith, but it in practice resided in and moved between the hearts and minds of globa…

Schooling in Western Europe
Renaissance boys and girls attended a variety of different kinds of pre-university schools in England, France, Italy, and Spain. Renaissance Europe inherited from the Middle Ages a large educational establishment that was not a "school system" in a modern sense. Instead, there were different kinds of schools which complemented or overlapped each other. The many and confusing names for pre-university schools, such as song school, grammar school, a…
Form and Function in Italian Renaissance Popular Books
Form and Function are Closely connected in books. The physical appearance of books indicates purpose and intended readership. A combination of size, type, and page layout offers visible signals informing the reader of the content before he begins to read a book. Books that look different are different. They have different subject matters, purposes, and readerships.Anyone browsing in a bookstore in the late twentieth century knows this. Today an i…

Jesuit Schools in Europe. A Historiographical Essay
The article surveys recent scholarship on Jesuit schools and universities in Europe from 1548 to 1773. It focuses on the period after the death of Ignatius of Loyola because that is when crucial decisions that shaped Jesuit schools were made. Diego Laínez made the most important decision in 1560 when he ordered that all Jesuits would teach. The goal of Jesuit teaching went beyond saving souls: Jesuit schools had the secular purpose of improving c…

The Schools of Christian Doctrine in Sixteenth-Century Italy
The Schools of Christian Doctrine taught the fundamentals of Catholicism, and reading and writing, to a very large number of boys and girls in sixteenth-century Italy. Numerous laymen and laywomen gave up their holiday leisure in order to teach in these schools. The Schools of Christian Doctrine were a significant feature of the Catholic Reformation, a broad movement of Catholic renewal that began before 1517 and whose major initiatives were not …
Five Italian Occurrences of Umanista, 1540-1574
Despite the repeated use of the term ‘humanist’ by modern scholars, few references to the term have been located in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Campana has found nine Itahan uses of the term in manuscript and printed sources from 1512 to 1588. In addition he has noted two sixteenth-century French uses, one English reference, and four appearances in the Latin text of the Epistolae ohscurorum virorum. Paul O. Kristeller has located the w…
Pierre Charron
The political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes is rightly considered as marking the end of one era in political theory and the beginning of a new one. Formerly, men had sought and found a guide to political conduct in a basic principle upon which the order of well-being of the state depended. Hobbes broke with the past by postulating the state as simply a rationalization of the needs of men. He analyzed man's psychology and relied on his own observati…
Utopia in Renaissance Italy
During the Renaissance authors of widely varying backgrounds wrote utopias. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries certain features of the utopias remained constant, but their aims varied as widely as their authors. One of those utopias, which seemed externally to fit easily within the framework of the Renaissance utopia but actually differed in important ways from all its fellows, was the New World, contained in I Mondi (1552) of Anton Frances…

The University of Florence and Pisa in the High Renaissance
Scholars do not immediately think of its university when praising the con- tribution of Florence to the Renaissance. After a shaky start in 1321, the Republic reorganized the university in 1348, hoping that it would become both distinguished and profitable. Neither hope was realized in the four- teenth and first half of the fifteenth centuries, so the government gave it less and less support.^The University of Pisa was founded in 1343, and, altho…

The conditions of enquiry
THE IMPACT OF PRINTING Printing had an enormous effect on all learning, but its impact was neither revolutionary nor sudden. Instead, over a period of fifty to one hundred years it so greatly facilitated the dissemination of the results of enquiry as to propel philosophy and all other branches of learning into a new era. This brief survey attempts to explain how printing affected the conditions of learning in the Renaissance, and especially how t…
