Jacopo Strada’s Magnum ac novum opus
Ars critica numaria
Da Rodolfo Pio ai Farnese
It remains strange to modern eyes that the most thoroughly documented antiquities in early modern Italian collections – and probably the most thoroughly documented objects of any type – are classical inscriptions. In corners of museums today, Roman gravestones and dedications can seem unprepossessing and without obvious aesthetic value. To a select group of Renaissance humanists however, they were a source of fascination. These scholars eagerly c…

Roman antiquities and the emergence of Renaissance civic collections
This paper examines the evidence for new fifteenth- and sixteenth-century civic collections of Roman antiquities. It argues that these collections, mostly in small towns on the Italian peninsula and in southern France, have been overlooked in favour of princely and ecclesiastical collections, but that they offer important early evidence for communal commitment to the protection of the past. They build on medieval traditions of collection and disp…

Panvinio and Descriptio
This article argues that Onofrio Panvinio's 1571 study of the Roman triumph embodies a central innovation of sixteenth-century classical scholarship, the use of visual reconstructions alongside textual accounts to communicate the details of ancient ceremonies. Panvinio built on the work of predecessors, most notably Pirro Ligorio, to produce a densely-detailed image of the triumphal procession in the style of Roman bas-reliefs, using the evidence…

Visitors, Display, and Reception in the Antiquity Collections of Late-Renaissance Rome
This essay examines visitors’ experiences in the antiquity collections of Rome between 1550 and 1600. It argues that access to private collections was not as casual as has previously been thought, but that, in fact, it is possible to identify changes in the reception of visitors in this period as the city’s collections became increasingly public and institutionalized. Particular pressures on ecclesiastical collectors and parallels elsewhere in th…

Thomas Dempster, Royal Historian to James I, and Classical Scholarship in Early Stuart England
The Scot Thomas Dempster (ca.1574-1625) was an idiosyncratic classical scholar whose brief appointment as royal historian to James I has previously been overlooked. This article examines what Dempster wrote to explain whyJames chose to support him in 1615, and argues that by appointing Dempster, James reacted to recent debates about the political importance of historical research in England connected to the Society of Antiquaries, to William Camd…

Georg Fabricius and inscriptions as a source of law
In 1549 the German Protestant Georg Fabricius (1516–71) edited the first short selection of Roman inscriptions specifically to focus on legal texts. This was a key moment in the history of classical epigraphy: for the first time in print a humanist explicitly demonstrated the value of such archaeological remains for the discipline of law, and implicitly accorded texts written on stone the same status of those recorded in manuscripts.
