• Rituals of Politics and Culture in Early Modern Europe

  William J Connell•ARTICLE•The Journal of Interdisciplinary…•2018•Referências: 2

  Incluir item

  A collection of fifteen essays is a fitting tribute to a historian who in recent decades has been a major influence on historical writing about early modern Europe. Muir’s Civic Ritual in Renaissance Venice (Princeton,1981) remains an important exploration of the ritual behavior, urban topography, and origin legends that shape a community’s sense of itself. At a time when the study of ritual by historians was just taking root (prompted in large p…

  For the Sake of Learning is a splendid two-volume monument to Grafton’s career. Renaissancers are necromancers. Grafton is a master necromancer. Whereas Odysseus dug a trench, poured libations, and sacrificed sheep to speak with the dead, one trusts that Grafton's rites are more prosaic. Yet, possibly sometimes in his dreams, he panics like Odysseus and waves a sword at the horde of souls swarming from Erebus. His interlocutors—Joseph Scaliger, P…

  Over the past decade and a half, Douglas Biow has published a series of books, now numbering four, that has centered in various ways on the role of “the professions” in Renaissance culture. With persistence and wit Biow has argued that during the Renaissance the application of humanist training and attitudes both to traditional categories of work (doctor and lawyer) and to newly emergent ones (ambassador, secretary, courtier) resulted in individu…

  There is a tradition of attempting to solve outstanding problems in the interpretation of Machiavelli by studying the context (historical and linguistic) of his works, with a particular focus on Machiavelli s use of such «keywords» as stato and virtù. What is often neglected is the extent to which Machiavelli intentionally diverged from the meaning and usage of his contemporaries precisely when it came to using such important terms. Since Machiav…

  The magnificence with which the Florentine Renaissance is synonymous derived its power from a virtue elucidated and disseminated by influential preachers as early as the 1420s. Most notably, Sant’ Antonino Pierozzi O.P. — preacher, reformer, confidant of Cosimo de’ Medici, and eventually the city’s archbishop — drew on and creatively adapted the language of Aquinas and others to forge a public theology of magnificence apposite to the needs of his…

  Let's begin by presenting some newly discovered documents concerning Niccolò Machiavelli. The biographical detail may at first appear overwhelming, but the light these documents shed on the chronology of Machiavelli's composition of The Prince helps to answer some old questions concerning the character of Machiavelli's little treatise. The new documents date from the year 1515. They were drawn up at a time of financial difficulty and profound per…

A team of distinguished scholars addresses the development of art, literacy and humanism across the length and breadth of Europe - from Rome to the Netherlands, from Poland to France. The book demonstrates that the revival of l…

They study centres of power under three distinctive governments - a civic republic of the 14th century, a princely court of the 15th, and an absolutist state of the 16th. The authors argue that, no less than armies, laws and taxes, painted halls of state were strategic instrument…
