  • Introduction: the Spirituali and Their Goals
    NOT BY FAITH ALONE: VITTORIA COLONNA, MICHELANGELO AND REGINALD POLE AND THE EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT IN SIXTEENTH CENTURY ITALY A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Christopher Allan Dunn, J.D. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 19, 2014 NOT BY FAITH ALONE: VITTORIA COLONNA, MICHELANGELO AND REGINALD POLE AND THE EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT IN SIXTEENTH CENTURY ITALY Christopher Allan Dunn, J.D. MALS Mentor: Michael Collins, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Beginning in the 1530’s, groups of scholars, poets, artists and Catholic Church prelates came together in Italy in a series of salons and group meetings to try to move themselves and the Church toward a concept of faith that was centered on the individual’s personal relationship to God and grounded in the gospels rather than upon Church tradition. The most prominent of these groups was known as the spirituali, or spiritual ones, and it included among its members some of the most renowned and celebrated people of the age. And yet, despite the fame, standing and unrivaled access to power of its members, the group failed utterly to achieve any of its goals. By 1560 all of the spirituali were either dead, in exile, or imprisoned by the Roman Inquisition, and their ideas had been completely repudiated by the Church. The question arises: how could such a “conspiracy of geniuses” have failed so abjectly? To answer the question, this paper examines the careers of three of the spirituali’s most prominent members, Vittoria Colonna, Michelangelo and Reginald Pole.

  • Humanism, Hebraism and Scriptural Hermeneutics
    CHAPTER SEVEN HUMANISM, HEBRAISM AND SCRIPTURAL HERMENEUTICS Max Engammare Vermigli was as powerful a preacher as he was a scholar.1 In 1542 he fl ed Italy and Lucca where he had served as Prior of the Augustinian Canons of San Frediano, and in the early autumn of that year proceeded to Strasbourg, aft er an initial sojourn in Zurich. Aft er just one month, Bucer invited Vermigli to replace Wolfgang Capito, who had recently died from the plague. Clearly, Bucer thought Vermigli knew suffi cient Hebrew to be able to lecture on the Old Testament. We know he had previously spent time learning Hebrew from a Jewish physician named Isaac in Bologna at the beginning of the 1530s.2 Vermigli studied in the university in both Bologna and Padua for ten years in order to become a teacher. Emidio Campi, Alessandro Pastore and Marcantonio Flaminio are all persuaded that Vermigli is an exemplary product of the Hebraist culture in Renaissance Italy.3 It is my goal to investigate this question by making three further inquires: fi rst, the state of learning Hebrew in Italy at the beginning of the sixteenth century; secondly, the notably high level of interest in studying the Psalms; and fi nally, as I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity over the period of almost two decades to inspect Vermigli’s annotations on his own copies of the Rabbinic Bibles (now housed in the library at Geneva), I shall conclude with some remarks on Vermigli’s reading and use of the commentaries of the medieval rabbis.

  • Torquato Tasso and the Problem of Vernacular Epic in 16Th-Century Italy
    THE TRUMPET AND THE LYRE: TORQUATO TASSO AND THE PROBLEM OF VERNACULAR EPIC IN 16TH-CENTURY ITALY by Christopher Geekie A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland July 19th, 2017 © Christopher Geekie 2017 All rights reserved ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I analyze conceptions of epic poetry in sixteenth century Italy, specif- ically the debates surrounding vernacular poetic language, which ultimately produce the first successful Italian epic, Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata. While scholars have mainly focused on early interpretations of Aristotle’s Poetics and questions of narrative structure, I argue for a shift towards analyzing discourses of language and style, which provide a more concrete framework for understanding Tasso’s poetic innovation. Examin- ing linguistic and literary texts from the 1530s to 1560s, I focus on issues of establishing a stable vernacular poetic language capable of equalling classical forms, specifically that of epic, at a time when the epic genre is defined by an exacting set of aesthetic expec- tations seemingly at odds with a predominantly lyric tradition grounded in Petrarchan love poetry. I argue that an unstable critical moment emerges by the mid sixteenth cen- tury concerning the ability of poets to translate the ideal form of classical epic into the mellifluous Italian language. This tension leads to experimentation with various formal elements that concern sound, notably meter and rhyme. I conclude that Tasso addresses this issue of sound with a radical theory of epic style based on the unconventional aes- thetic qualities of harshness, dissonance, and sonority.

  • 'God Is in the Details': Visual Culture of Closeness in the Circle of Cardinal
    ‘God is in the details’: visual culture of closeness in the circle of Cardinal Reginald Pole Lorraine de la Verpillière When Reginald Pole first came to Rome in November 1536 to take up his new position as a cardinal, in exile from England and his now schismatic cousin, King Henry VIII, he must have been struck by the splendour of the papal city, the centre of Christendom. Pole was an important figure at the Curia: his quasi-royal status and his appointment to serve on a papal reform commission allowed him to mingle with the ecclesiastical elite.1 He should therefore have been familiar with the profusion of decorations and paintings in Italian churches and with the magnificent palaces in which most great cardinals lived.2 In spite of being a prolific writer, Pole never commented on art, seeming completely oblivious to the painted works and to the brilliant architectural feats that surrounded him on a daily basis in the papal city. The lack of information about the relationship between Pole and the artists who gravitated to his circle and on the artworks he commissioned, along with Thomas Mayer’s claim that ‘Pole, by most definitions a Renaissance patron, was a failure’,3 seems to have discouraged further research on the cardinal’s artistic patronage. In fact, the apparent absence of evidence about Pole’s interest in the visual arts is misleading. Pole has yet to receive the attention he deserves in the History of Art, as he did engage with the visual arts, even though he was highly selective about them and demanded they conform with his spiritual and social practices, similarly to other reformist-minded Roman Catholics.

  • Spiritual Passion and the Profane Persona in Anne De Marquets’S Les Divines Poesies De Marc Antoine Flaminius (1568–1569)
    “C’est un amour ou Cupidon nouveau”: Spiritual Passion and the Profane Persona in Anne de Marquets’s Les Divines Poesies de Marc Antoine Flaminius (1568–1569) annick macaskill Western University While best known for her 480 Sonets spirituels, published seventeen years after her death in 1605, the Dominican nun Anne de Marquets also contributed a remarkable collection of personal spiritual poetry during her lifetime in Les Divines Poesies de Marc Antoine Flaminius (Paris, chez N. Chesneau, 1568; reedited in 1569). In the pages following her translation of Marcantonio Flaminio’s Carminum sacrorum libellus, her original cantiques ou chansons spirituelles and sonets de l’amour divin reveal a convergence of Renaissance poetics and traditional Christian themes. In particular, Anne de Marquets looks to the Petrarchan tradition as a model for the expression of her love for the divine. Drawing on images and themes from Petrarch and his earliest French imitators, the Dominican adopts the poetic process promoted by the Pléiade, notably in Du Bellay’s Deffence et Illustration de la langue françoyse and in Ronsard’s ode Hercule chrestien. Connue aujourd’hui essentiellement pour ses 480 Sonets spirituels, recueil publié dix-sept ans après sa mort en 1605, la dominicaine Anne de Marquets a pourtant écrit d’autres poésies chrétiennes qui se trouvent à la suite de sa traduction du Carminum sacrorum libellus du poète néo-latin Marcantonio Flaminio (Les Divines Poesies de Marc Antoine Flaminius, [Paris : N. Chesneau, 1568, rééd. en 1569]). Dans ses cantiques ou chansons spirituelles et ses sonets de l’amour divin, Marquets exprime son amour pour le divin à travers divers modèles de la poésie renaissante.

  • Andrea Riccio's Della Torre Tomb Monument
    ANDREA RICCIO‘S DELLA TORRE TOMB MONUMENT: HUMANISM AND ANTIQUARIANISM IN PADUA AND VERONA by Rebekah Anne Carson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto @ Copyright by Rebekah Anne Carson 2010 Andrea Riccio‘s Della Torre Tomb Monument: Humanism and Antiquarianism in Padua and Verona Doctorate of Philosophy 2010 Rebekah A. Carson Department of Art University of Toronto Abstract An important masterpiece by the Paduan sculptor Andrea Riccio, the Della Torre tomb monument broke with contemporary funerary monuments in both its form and content. Understanding what enabled this break with tradition is the central issue in the study of this monument—one that has not been sufficiently addressed in previous scholarship. Despite the lack of overt references to the Christian faith on the Della Torre monument, the narrative programme is concerned with two very important Christian concerns—the necessity of a life of virtue and the health and afterlife of the soul. I argue that the narrative on the tomb, influenced by contemporary funerary oratory and poetry, presents a model of virtue for the viewer. Moreover, I argue that Riccio has illustrated the presence of this exemplar by the very structure of the monument itself. This dissertation focuses on the artistic and intellectual community surrounding the creation of this monument and, in particular, on the reconciliation of this strictly all‘antica monument with Christian thought in this period. Upon a thorough contextual examination, this unprecedented monument becomes less of an anomaly. It reflects the ii ideas of an important circle of humanists from both Padua and Verona, thus illustrating the breadth of their interests and their involvement in contemporary debates over religion, the nature and potential immortality of the soul, and the necessity of virtue.

While scholars have addressed the cycle's formal qualities that stimulate such responses, the context surrounding the cycle has not been fully explored. The city was a refuge for reformers and the printing center for potentially heretical writing in the sixteenth century. Tintoretto maintained relationships to members ofthe reformist poligrafi, and the Passion cycle responds to the mystical theologies propagated in widely disseminated works from Ignatius ofLoyola's officially sanctioned treatise, Spiritual Exercises, to the more controversial work ofDon Benedetto and Marcantonio Flaminio, the Beneficio di Cristo.

  • Cardinal Reginald Pole: Questions of Self-Justification and of Faith
    2017 IV Cardinal Reginald Pole: Questions of Self-Justification and of Faith John Murphy Article: Cardinal Reginald Pole: Questions of Self-Justification and of Faith Cardinal Reginald Pole: Questions of Self-Justification and of Faith John Murphy Abstract: Cardinal Reginald Pole served as a papal legate for almost twenty years. He was a leading figure in the Catholic Reform movement, and a prominent political figure both in England and in Europe in his own right. Despite the survival of an unusually vast correspondence and his large literary oeuvre, Pole has remained an elusive figure, often disparaged; his achievements often dismissed; his stature as a leading figure of the century often diminished. How it was that by the middle of the sixteenth century Pole, a lone Englishman, was so pre-eminent in the religious affairs of Europe, especially as he had achieved this prominence in the teeth of the unrelenting hostility of his king and kinsman Henry VIII, who once had been his patron and greatest champion? Pole’s career is also an exemplar of how ignoble dynastic self-interests hampered the noble ambitions of genuine ecclesiastical reformers on both sides of the confessional divide at almost every turn in these early years of the Reformation. This article argues that Pole’s return to England in 1554 as legate a latere has often overshadowed consideration of the other elements of his service, both as a reforming cardinal-deacon, and as a legate a latere in other capacities. While these previous experiences shaped the character of his final legation in England, they also shaped the “Roman” character of the “Catholicism” that was to emerge in the second half of the sixteenth century.
