Camillo Camilli's Imprese for the Academies
Journal of Literature and Art Studies, April 2018, Vol. 8, No. 4, 589-613 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.04.009 D DAVID PUBLISHING Camillo Camilli’s Imprese for the Academies Liana De Girolami Cheney Independent Scholar, Boston, MA, USA This study examines the humanistic influence of ancient and Renaissance art in Camillo Camilli’s Imprese of 1586. Camillo Camilli (ca. 1560-1615—his exact birth date is unknown) was an Italian poet of the sixteenth-century. His family came from Monte San Savino, Siena, and records mention that he died on July 13, 1615, in Ragusa. While personal documentation on Camilli’s life is scarce there are substantial sources about his literary career as a translator, compiler and poet. Camilli wrote extensively. There are the five canti on Erminia e Tancredi which were collated with Tarquo Tasso’s (1544-1595) unfinished poems, and his commentaries for Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso in 1584 and for Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata in 1585. Under the influence of Tasso’s writings and his involvement in the commentary of Gerusalemme Liberata (1585), Camilli started formulating his concetto (conceit) of what an impresa is (badge, device or insignia). The focus of this essay is on Camilli’s Imprese for the Academies. The whole collection of the Imprese consists of three volumes. The frontispiece to each volume depicts three different stage settings filled with classical ornamentation and bearing in the center of the lintel the impresa or insignia of Francesco Ziletti’s printing company—a starfish surrounded by stars and bound by a ribbon. -

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. -

A Digital Exploration of 16th-Century Heretical Networks in the Italian Medical Context Methodological Challenges and Research Perspectives * Alessandra Celati ** After the Reformation began in 1517, Protestant ideas soon crossed theAlpsand spread out of Italian cities, fascinating (especially, but not exclusively) the human- ists and scholars who were part of the late-Renaissance intellectual environment. In particular, between the 1530s and the 1590s a great number of Italian physicians absorbed, promoted, and re-elaborated, often in radical terms, the reformed and heretical discourse. In this article I am presenting some research perspectives and methodological challenges concerning the application of social network research and digital humanities tools to the history of 16tʰ-century religious dissent. In par- ticular, I will discuss and examine the reconstruction, out of a sample of 200 cases, of a network of dissident physicians who faced religious repression and opposed dogmatic confessional boundaries in Italy, and in their European diaspora, as a part of my own ongoing interdisciplinary research. -

Girolamo Ruscelli, the Books of Secrets
RUSCELLI’S BOOK OF SECRETS IN CONTEXT: A SIXTEENTH-CENTURY VENETIAN ‘MUSEUM IN MOTION’ Stefano GULIZIA* Abstract. This essay discusses the emergence of empirical practices both in houses of craft and medicinal laboratories in Venice during the 1550s, a period in which, with the fortunate collection of the Secrets of Alexis anonymously published by the relentless polymath Girolamo Ruscelli, the Venetian world had firmly sided with the printed word as a strategy of scientific information and communication, progressively pushing manuscript communication to the verge of irrelevance. As I argue, it was a diffuse sense of saturation in the Venetian marketplace of similar ‘galleries’ and ‘theatres’ – a phenomenon traditionally ascribed to the rise of the early modern museum – that gave Ruscelli his reputation as a master of virtual witnessing. I present here some examples of commerce and collecting, translations, and visual adaptations in print as representative of epistemological changes taking place within commercial and long-distance networks, and I examine the type of gathering activities both institutions and people deployed as they extended the technological and cognitive jurisdictions of media within the printing house. Keywords: early modern museum, Girolamo Ruscelli, global exchange, printed culture, openness vs. secrecy, Secrets of Alexis, sociability, Spain, urban networks, Venice Introduction: Knowledge and Sociability as Tools for the Printing Press As William Eamon first suggested,1 every study of Girolamo Ruscelli (1500- 1566) and his literary pseudonym Alessio Piemontese is, in some sense, the study of a nexus between an ideal of virtuosity in experimental techniques and the often sordid conditions of labour in the book trade.2 Indeed, the technological advance and cognitive jurisdictions of the printing atelier neatly frame Ruscelli’s career; scraps of editorial and bibliographical erudition, perhaps, offer a better anchor for a study of Ruscelli than a more traditional evaluation of the pitfalls of his charismatic trajectory as a ‘perfect’ courtier. -
(VENICE, 1555) in the Case of the Secrets of Alexis of Piedmont The
Zbigniew Bela Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Muzeum Farmacji Kraków THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE SECRETS OF ALEXIS OF PIEDMONT (VENICE, 1555) In the case of the Secrets of Alexis of Piedmont the belief has perpetuated that the author of this famous Italian set of re cipes for medicines, cosmetics, fragrances, and the things needed in crafts art is the Italian writer Girolamo Ruscelli, and that Alexis of Piedmont is just a nickname coined by Ruscelli. There are numerous examples of this belief, all easy to find: from a wide range of different dictionaries and bibliographies1, through library cata logues2, online resources such as Google Books3, auction information4, Wikipedia pages5, to scholarly essays of varying de grees of insight, such as The Accademia Segreta of Girolamo Ruscelli by Eamon and Paheau [3] (“Ironically, none of the works printed under Ruscelli’s own name were Figure 1. Title page of the first edition of the Secrets of Alexis of Piedmont even remotely as popular as the one he (Venice, Sigismondo Bordogna, 1555) published under the pseudonym of Alexis of Piedmont.”). However, when it comes to library catalogues – for example to the catalogue of National Library of France – there also happen to appear those, where in the context of Secretes, Alexis of Piedmont is referred to as the author of the book as well as the real person that did exist. Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki R. 61: 2016 nr 1 s. 41–64 42 Z. Bela It is true that an author named Alexis of Piedmont (It. Alessio Piemontese or Lat. Alexius Pedemontanus6) was not, in fact, noted by such authors like Rossotto [5] (Syllabus of Piedmont writers), or Bersano [6] (Sixteenth century authors of Piedmont). -
