The close relationship between the Danish and Italian scholarly com- munities has thus been strengthened in the name of the polymath Georg Zoëga. Renowned for his work within the fields of Numismatics, Archaeology, Egyptology and Coptic Studies, Zoëga was a figure of outstanding importance both in Rome and in Europe, at the end of the eighteenth century. To disseminate knowledge is the great privilege of cultural institutions such as museums, academies and universities, and this project represented an exceptional occasion to rediscover the largely unknown scientific legacy of a scholar who quite suddenly, and almost inexplicably, disappeared from view in the early nineteenth century. Thanks to the cooperation of many institutions, both Italian and Danish, and the fundamental economic support of the Carlsberg Foundation and Karen Ascani’s Fond, it was thus possible to encourage a critical reading of Zoëga’s legacy. Owing to the efforts of the many scholars involved in the proj- ect, a huge amount of unpublished archival documents have become the com- mon heritage of the international scholarly community. Writing history is a constant, never ending story, and new research projects related to Georg Zoëga are already being created as of now. This can be consid- ered the project’s foremost achievement. The Organizing Committee Introduction Karen Ascani, Paola Buzi and Daniela Picchi History can be ungenerous towards those who are involved in writing it. Such has been the destiny of Georg Zoëga, a distinguished Egyptologist, Coptologist, Archaeologist, and Numismatist, whose scientific and cultural contributions— highly valued by his contemporaries—fell almost entirely into oblivion with the end of the Enlightenment. Born in Denmark from a family of Venetian origin, Georg Zoëga had firm cultural roots both in his native country and in Italy, where he lived from 1783 until his death in 1809. Rome and the scholarly circle under the patronage of Cardinal Stefano Borgia became Zoëga’s home, where he welcomed many international scholars, ‘celebrities’, and dear friends, such as Goethe, Heyne, Dolomieu, Münter, Thorvaldsen. In 1769 Stefano Borgia,1 who was born in Velletri (Rome) in 1731 and died in Lyons in 1804, began to set up a collection, containing precious objects and curiosities from all over the world. The Museo Borgiano, on display at the Borgia Palace of Velletri, became one of the must-see destinations of the Italian Grand Tour, visited by scholars and other interested, mostly foreign, travellers, on their way from Rome to Naples. It was one of the most famous encyclopaedic museums in Italy, relevant also at European level, the only eighteenth-century residence-museum in Europe boasting Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Pre-Latin, Roman, Arabic and Indian texts and artefacts, besides Medieval paintings and liturgical objects, maps, and the like that the Catholic missionaries would send to Borgia, as Secretary (and later Prefect) of the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide. In particular, the Cardinal reserved a special predilection for ancient Egypt, to the point of creating the richest Egyptian collection in Europe before the Napoleonic expedition. 1 The bibliography dedicated to Cardinal Borgia is extremely large. See, in particular, H. Enzensberger, Borgia, Stefano, in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, (Roma: Treccani, 1970), 739–742 and Paolino da San Bartolomeo, Vitae Synopsis Steph. Borgiae S.R.E. Cardinalis Amplissimi, S. Congr. de Propaganda Fide Praefecti Curante P. Paulino a S. Bartholomaeo Carmelita Disclaceato, (Romae: apud Antonium Fulgonium, 1805). Paolino da San Bartolomeo, a Carmelite monk of Austrian origin and an expert in oriental languages, thanks to his close friendship with the Cardinal, gave a very effective description of his personality and his scientific interests. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���5 | doi ��.��63/9789004�90839_00� 2 Ascani, Buzi and Picchi At the request of the Cardinal, Zoëga dedicated himself to rearranging the Alexandrinian coins of the Museo Borgiano and published the relative cata- logue, Numi Aegyptii imperatorii prostantes in museo Borgiano Velitris, in 1787. In the meantime, inspired by such a stimulating environment, he passionately studied the hundreds of Egyptian antiquities collected by his benefactor and prepared the Catalogo dei monumenti egiziani nel Museo Borgiano composto ed ordinato dal Sig. Giorgio Zoega dotto Danese nel mese di Ottobre del 1784, which remained unpublished. This catalogue is fundamental to an in-depth knowl- edge of the Borgia collection and of Zoëga’s methodological approach to the study of Egyptian material culture. Moreover, being also a brilliant philologist, he was charged by Pope Pius vi to write a dissertation focused on Roman obe- lisks, the meaning of whose inscriptions was, at the time, completely unknown.

    EGYPT RETURNS TO MANN ( The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli ) by Lucy Gordan-Rastelli Photos Courtesy the MANN he palace which houses the Museo Archeologico Nazion- ale di Napoli (The Naples National Archaeological Muse- um) — known by its abbreviation MANN — was built in 1585 as a cavalry barracks. It’s located at the western edge of the neighborhood called “Quartieri Spagnoli” (Spanish Quarters), because in the Sixteenth Century the Spanish oc - T cupied and ruled Naples. In those days the building was just outside the city walls, in an area (St. Teresa) that had once been one of the many ancient Greek cemeteries of Neapolis . Between 1612 and 1615, the Viceroy Pedro Fer - nández de Castro (1560-1622) had the palace transformed into the University of Naples; he gave the job of restruc - turing and enlarging the building to the highly respected architect/engineer Giulio Cesare Fontana.

  • STUIBER, Maria, Zwischen Rom Und Dem Erdkreis
    38. STUIBER, Maria, Zwischen Rom und dem Erdkreis. Die gelehrte Korrespondenz des Kardinals Stefano Borgia (1731–1804). (Colloquia Augustana; 31). Berlin, Akademie Verlag, 2012. 460 pp. Stefano Borgia was born in Velletri. His family, in spite of the name Borgia, cannot be traced back to the famous Aragonese Borjas. Stefano’s uncle Alessandro Borgia, the well-reputed and erudite archbishop and prince of Fermo, became the young man’s teacher, role model and quasi father (p. 77). Stefano studied philosophy and theology, showed great archeological interest and talent, and when he left his uncle’s palace in 1756, he was immediately received into the Respublica litteraria: the time’s scientific community, the - so to speak - supranational state of scholars: a commonwealth of learning that communicated especially through letter writing. This kind of long distance interaction has found historians’ increasing attention: network analysis of learned letters. It was not only his education that allowed Stefano Borgia to correspond easily within that international Respublica, it would soon also be his position: Stefano Borgia moved to Rome, lived at the Accademia Ecclesiastica and obtained a canon law doctorate from Sapienza University only a year later. After his 1757 Ascension homily for the Pope and the Cardinals, he moved to the waiting list for an administrative career in the Papal States (p. 85). He served as a governor for five years and as secretary to various Roman dicasteries before reaching his great platform: he was made secretary of the Propaganda Fide congregation. Now, he could write letters without even having to pay postage or taxes (p.

PUTNAM'S SONS 1913 PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS TAVI STOCK STREET CoVENT GARDEN LONDON THE story of the Borgia family has always been of interest one strangely fascinating ; but a lurid legend grew up about their lives, which culminated in the creation of the fantastic monstrosities of Victor Hugo's play and Donizetti's opera. For three centuries their name was a byword for the vilest but in our there has been infamy ; own day an extraordinary swing of the pendulum, which is hard to account for. Quite a number of para- doxical writers have proclaimed to an astonished and mystified world that Pope Alexander VI was both a wise prince and a gentle priest whose motives and actions have been maliciously mis- noble- represented ; that Cesare Borgia was a minded and enlightened statesman, who, three centuries in advance of his time, endeavoured to form a united Italy by the only means then in Lucrezia anybody's power ; and that Borgia was a paragon of all the virtues.

  • Jan Stubbe Østergaard, Semper Ardens: Facaden Af Hack
    Semper Ardens: Facaden af Hack Kampmanns bygning til Glyptotekets antikke samling af Jan Stubbe Østergaard Gorm Tortzen har altid benyttet Glyptoteket i sin undervisning og har været et aktiv for museet på mange andre måder. Dette bidrag til festen er derfor ikke kun en hilsen fra forfat- teren, men fra Glyptoteket, og, i særdeleshed, fra den antikke samling. Hensigten med denne artikel er ikke alene at fejre, og forhåbentlig underholde, fødselaren. Jeg håber nemlig også at imødekomme et behov i undervisningen for en lidt nærmere forklaring af, hvad der egentlig foregår på Hack Kampmanns facade, i det store og i detaljen. Med en sådan forklaring ved hånden vil flere lærere måske have lyst og grund til at tage eleverne med om til museets ‘bagside’. Så vil det hurtigt stå klart, at der slet ikke er tale om en bagside, men om endnu en forside: Glyptoteket er nemlig arkitektonisk set to-hovedet som et Janus-hoved, med to ansigter, hvert med et udtryk svarende til den samling, der findes indeni. Baggrund I 1888 forærede Carl og Ottilia Jacobsen deres samling af fransk og dansk skulptur til danskerne. Til gengæld skulle de officielle modtagere, Staten og Københavns Kommune, stille en centralt beliggende grund til rådighed for en bygning til kunstværkerne og bidrage økonomisk til bygningens opførelse. Grundstykket ud til Vester Boulevard huede ikke Jacobsen, for det lå “noget afsides; Naboskabet til det mig ret plebeiiske Tivoli var heller ikke videre tiltalende …”. Til gengæld valgte han selv arkitekten Vilhelm Dahlerup (1836–1907), på den tid ligeså ‘hot’ et navn som Henning Larsen i vore dage: Han tegnede blandt andet Det kongelige Teater, Statens Museum for Kunst, Hotel d’Angleterre, Pantomimeteatret, Søpavillonen – og Dronning Lou- ises Bro.

  • 7. Orientalist Museum1 Roman Missionary Collections and Prints (Eighteenth Century)
    ORIENTALIST MUSEUM 207 7. ORIENTALIST MUSEUM1 ROMAN MISSIONARY COLLECTIONS AND PRINTS (EIGHTEENTH CENTURY) Ines G. Zupanov hen Paulinus a S. Bartholomaeo arrived in Pondicherry aboard L’amaible Nannette on 25 July 1776, the scene Wwas set for another missionary life in south India. As he described two decades later in his Viaggio alle Indie Orientali, for thirteen years, he worked hard in his mission among the Syrian or St Thomas Christians, travelled in the Malabar region, met people from the lowest fishermen to Dutch administrators and the kings of Travancore.2 Written with hindsight, of course, Viaggio documents as much Paulinus’ achievements as his desires and deceptions. The choice of Italian, instead of a scholarly Latin of his numerous books written and published upon return to Europe, is undoubtedly a sign that he tried to reach a wider audience. In the same way, the title he chose pointed to a particular genre of writing—a travelogue—developed in the course of almost three centuries during which Italians and other Europeans travelled to and came back with stories about the Orient. A missionary life, if one studies prosopographies and hagiographies of the Catholic missionaries in the early modern period, consisted of two or three stages. The first is the stage before entering the order or leaving for a mission. In the hagiographies it is a time of evangelical preparation endowed with premonitions, miracles and prophetic dreams, and the visions of future. The life in the mission is a heroic period of intense social interaction, politics, learning languages, a holy fatigue and an eventual martyrdom.

  • Ancient Axe-Head in the Morgan Collection
    91.3,54 Article V.-ON THE ANCIENT INSCRIBED SUMERIAN (BABY- LONIAN) AXE-HEAD FROM THE MORGAN COLLECTION IN THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.' By GEORGE FREDERICK KUNZ. PLATE VI. With translation by Prof. IRA MAURICE PRICE of the Semitic Department, University of Chicago; and the discussion by the Rev. Dr. WILLIAM HAYES WARD of New York. This remarkable stone object (a Babylonian ceremonial axe-head) was secured for this collection in I902 in England. It is one of the oldest known stone objects of a weapon form with an inscription, although copper and metal objects were frequently so marked. It is historic ~and almost unique. This axe was obtained by the Cardinal Stefano Borgia while at the head of the Propaganda, but whence or how is not known. (See note at the end.) The Contessa Ettore Borgia, his niece, offered it to the British Museum some ten or twelve years ago, but at so extrava- gant a value (about three or four thousand pounds sterling) that it was returned to her. It was ultimately acquired for some I5,000 lire by the late Comte Michel Tyszkiewicz,2 and soon after his death there was a dispersal of his collection of engraved stones, bronzes, marbles, and other antiquities. After the sale, the axe was purchased for Messrs. Tiffany and Co. by the author, and, through the generosity of James Pierpont Morgan, iEsq., was presented to the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, on April i6, I902. The object measures in length I34.5 mm., width 35.5 mm., thick- ness 3I mm., and weighs 226.8 grammes.
