    An Example for Others

    An Example for Others Public Execution and the Symbolism of Urban Space in Florence’s Crisis Oskar Edgren A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA (Hons) in History, University of Sydney October, 2017 1 Abstract This thesis examines the Florentine Grand Council’s use of public execution to demonstrate political power in the crisis of 1494-1512. Using the example of Antonio Rinaldeschi’s execution for blasphemy in 1501, it explores how the Council appropriated humanist and republican symbolism and urban space to tighten their grip on the increasingly unstable and fractured republic. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my wonderful supervisor Julie Smith for her thoughtfulness, prudence and kindness in the guidance she has given me over the year. I also give thanks to my parents, for their never-ending support, helpfulness and interest, and my partner Katie for her constant encouragement and unfailing patience. Dedicated to my grandfather, Bruce Mansfield (1926-2017), for bestowing me with a love of history that I will have for the rest of my life. 3 Contents Introduction.........................................................................................................5 Chapter 1, ‘Dice & Dung’: The Crime and Punishment of Antonio Rinaldeschi……………………………………………………………………13 Chapter 2, ‘Blood & Ink’: Civic Humanism and the Republic in Crisis………………..........................................................................................32 Chapter 3, ‘Bonfire & Brimstone’: Girolamo Savonarola
  • Notes on Contributors / Remembering Roy Porter

    Notes on Contributors / Remembering Roy Porter

    Notes on Contributors / Remembering Roy Porter Not only was Roy Porter a brilliant scholar and a dedicated colleague, he was also a remarkable, generous and idiosyncratic individual – in fact, he was exactly the kind of person about whom Roy himself loved to write. We were all lucky that our lives were enriched by his presence. In this section, conventionally reserved for descriptions of ourselves, many of us have also added favourite memories of Roy, or moments when his influence shaped our ideas and careers. Roberta Bivins is Wellcome Lecturer in the History of Medicine at Cardiff University. The topic of her most recent book,Alternative Medicine? A Global Approach (2007), was suggested to her by Roy Porter many years ago. She is now studying the reciprocal impact of immigration and medical research/healthcare delivery in the US and UK since the Second World War. ‘As a nervous PhD student, I came to Roy via the most tenuous of connections: my American supervisor happened to know Roy’s wife. It is typical of his generosity that Roy invited me to London sight unseen, simply as a favour to his wife’s acquaintance. Dutifully, he scheduled regular lunches with me to check on my progress. Alongside the sandwiches and the inspiration, Roy offered me, in his inimitable way, a much- needed sense of belonging. One lunchtime, he dropped into his chair, grinned, and reported: “My mother has a question for you: did the royals use acupuncture?” I was surprised – but the idea that Roy’s mum knew all about my dissertation suddenly made me feel right at home in London.

    H-France Review Volume 2 (2002) Page 105 H-France Review Vol. 2 (February, 2002), No. 26 Jonathan Israel, Radical Enlightenment: Philosophy and the Making of Modernity, 1650-1750. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2001. xxii + 810 pp. Maps, tables, plates, notes, bibliography, and index. $45.00 US (cl). ISBN 0-19-820608-9. Review by J.B. Shank, University of Minnesota. Was ist Aufklärung? Robert Darnton recently began a lecture on this topic by asking his audience to repeat the question, only this time with feeling. Jonathan Israel would not have been amused. He finds nothing tired or stale about this classic question of European intellectual history, nor does he see any problem with the classic "men and ideas" approach to it that Darnton has built a career critiquing. Radical Enlightenment, Israel's magisterial history of the emergence of Enlightenment thought in Europe, is nothing if not a throwback to a bygone era when, to borrow from Darnton again, intellectual historians were scholars who took dusty philosophical tomes off library shelves and taught readers how to link them together. Yet despite its frustrating traditionalism and maddening dismissal of an entire generation of newer Enlightenment scholarship, Radical Enlightenment is an important book. It especially offers an important chronological and geographical reconceptualization of the origins of the Enlightenment that scholars, whatever their historiographical stripe, will ignore only at their peril. But will anyone actually read the book? And can the honest reviewer actually recommend that one do so? It is not that Israel is a bad writer. Quite the contrary, he proves to be a very engaging guide to the many topics he presents.

    1 Isabella Lazzarini, All Souls College, Oxford; University of Molise The Words of Emotion: Political Language and Discursive Resources in Lorenzo de Medici’s Lettere (1468-1492)* Introduction The Florentine vernacular used in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries a dry proverb to underline that a man, knowing that he did everything he could to sort out a problem, could not blame himself anymore: “fa che dei, sia che può”.1 Lorenzo de’ Medici at the end of the fifteenth century changed, softened and polished the old dictum and by absorbing it into an intimate self portrait he altered definitively its popular and formulaic nature into a much more sophisticated, personalized and intellectual discourse about his natura. His discourse introduces a fine analysis of the balance between feelings and reason, and between self representation and reality: “pure io non sono apto a disperarmi per questo, perché, facto che ho quello che debbo, tu sai che non sono di natura che pigli troppa molestia di quello che adviene”.2 Lorenzo de Medici represents a milestone in research and imagination on the Italian Renaissance: the edition of Lorenzo de Medici’s letters was inaugurated in 1955 “with the hope that a less romanticized portrait of him would result”. Ironically, rather than painting a more ‘realistic’ portrait of Lorenzo, recent research is discovering instead that “it is not possible to separate the man from the aura of legend and that the latter constitutes an indissoluble aspect of his historical character”.3 Lorenzo’s image-making was a political

    Renaissance Political Theory and Paradoxes of Power 57

    Renaissance Political Theory and Paradoxes of Power 57 CHAPTER 3 Renaissance Political Theory and Paradoxes of Power Cellini’s Perseus and Medusa testifies to the fact that coercion and force were central to Cosimo I’s rise to power and to his vision of state formation. The Medici duke’s political bravado was responsible for his entry into Florence as a larger-than-life sovereign. And yet, aspects of early modern theory on gender and the state which problematize virtù inform Cellini’s bronze in ways that could have reminded viewers of problems with the construction of the ruler’s power, specifically, the transformation of Florence from republic to duchy. Flo- rentines, who held the value of republican liberty close to their hearts, would have been keenly aware of the insecure foundation of their past traditions as times changed rapidly while Cosimo consolidated his power. The controversy over the merits of government by the many versus by the few was still an unre- solved point of tension in sixteenth-century Florence. Some of the legal and cultural constraints imposed on Cellini were signs of the tighter vigilance and control of the public and private spheres besetting the development of the early modern state.1 Those restrictions affected Cellini’s vision of the Perseus and Medusa in a provocative fashion. Much political writing and visual imagery dating from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance treats the ruler’s head and body as symbols of the state. Six- teenth-century art epitomizing the body of the male ruler adoring, or over- coming the state personified as a woman’s body include Giambologna’s Rape of the Sabine, a later pro-Medici sculpture, on the Piazza della Signoria (Fig.

His father was a publisher and his parents were Hungarian (i.e. initially Austro- Hungarian) subjects, though his father had come to Berlin from Riga and had taken Hungarian citizenship on the insistence of his future parents- in-law. Both parents were Jewish by descent. In Berlin he attended the Französische Gymnasium, but left at fourteen on account of health problems and spent two and a half years first in Switzerland and then in the Black Forest. He began his university studies in Berlin in 1930, his subjects (after a false start with political economy) being history and philosophy. An influential teacher whose seminar he attended was Erich Kaspar, historian of the early medieval papacy, but he also went to lectures by Friedrich Meinecke—an impressive link with the past! At the end of 1933 Nicolai and his family emigrated when the Nazi regime came to power, his parents and sister to France, he to Italy. He reg- istered as a student at the University of Florence, where he proceeded to the laurea in 1935, his principal teacher being Nicola Ottokar, Professor of Medieval History and of Russian. Ottokar, author of Il comune di Firenze alla fine del Dugento, was a big influence on the historical tech- nique and outlook of Rubinstein, who became his assistente. At this stage he knew Robert Davidsohn, the great historian of medieval Florence, but gained the impression that in Davidsohn’s view there was no room for fur- ther treatment of that field.

No coincidence there. History was my father’s passion and primary source of intellectual stimulation. History books were his daily companions. Of all the Foundation’s many activities, none gave him greater pleasure than the History Prize. It is an immense sadness that he is not with us to celebrate the fortieth anniversary.
