Cicero Illustratus: John Toland and Ciceronian Scholarship in the Early Enlightenment Cicero Illustratus: John Toland and Ciceronian Scholarship in the Early Enlightenment KATHERINE EAST Thesis submitted to the Department of Classics, Royal Holloway, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Declaration of Authorship I, Katherine East, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: ABSTRACT In 1712 the radical intellectual John Toland wrote a treatise entitled Cicero Illustratus, which proposed a new edition of Cicero’s complete works. In this text Toland justified and described his plans; as a result such varied issues as the Ciceronian tradition in eighteenth century culture, the nature of scholarship in this period, and the value of Ciceronian scholarship to Toland’s intellectual efforts were encompassed. In spite of the evident potential of Cicero Illustratus to provide a new perspective on these issues, it has been largely neglected by modern scholarship. This thesis rectifies that omission by establishing precisely what Toland hoped to achieve with Cicero Illustratus, and the significance of his engagement with Ciceronian scholarship. The first section of the thesis addresses Cicero Illustratus itself, discovering Toland’s aims by evaluating his proposals against both the existing Ciceronian editorial tradition and his immediate scholarly context. This reveals that Toland used his engagement with scholarship to simultaneously construct authority for his professed rehabilitation of the real Cicero, and for himself as an interpreter of this ‘real’ Cicero. The second section of this thesis demonstrates the broader purpose of this exploitation of erudition; it allowed Toland to construct Cicero as a vital weapon in his radical discourse on politics and religion. The active role of the Ciceronian tradition in the formation of Toland’s radical thought thereby demonstrated, this thesis contributes to the intellectual history of this period. It will both support narratives in modern scholarship which emphasise the on-going influence of humanist scholarship on modern thought, and challenge readings of the early Enlightenment which emphasise its rejection of tradition by demonstrating the importance of the classical tradition to the work of one of its foremost thinkers.

Jonathan Powell’s guidance during the translation of Cicero Illustratus was vital to the project, while his careful supervision and attentive consideration of my work has repeatedly earned my deep gratitude. I would also like to thank him and his family for showing me a great deal of kindness during my time at Royal Holloway. Justin Champion’s supervision has been similarly invaluable, consistently directing my research to exciting new questions and easing my introduction to a fascinating area of study, one which I will continue to pursue, stimulated by his enthusiasm. I would particularly like to thank him for the fact that no matter how discouraged I might be, I always left his supervisions with a renewed excitement and passion for my research. I have been extremely fortunate with both of my supervisors, and shall remain very grateful to them. I would like to express my thanks to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for the financial support provided by their doctoral award, together with the Department of Classics at Royal Holloway, both for granting me that award and for its on-going assistance across the period of my research. Finally, the greatest debt I owe is to my family, without whom this truly would not have been accomplished. To my mother, for always believing in me and driving me on; to my father, for all the many immeasurable ways in which he has supported me; and to my sister, for keeping me laughing throughout it all. i Abbreviations BL The British Library Works by John Toland CI Cicero Illustratus Collection A collection of several pieces of Mr. John Toland, now first publish'd from his original manuscripts: with some memoirs of his life and writings Works by Cicero Ac.

  • Lipsius En Livius. Klassieke Filologie in De Zestiende Eeuw
    149 Lipsius en Livius. Klassieke filologie in de zestiende eeuw Marijke CRAB Abstract Whereasthe Flemish humanist Justus Lipsius has won the highest praise forhis successive commented editions of Tacitus’ Annales and Historiae, hitherto no attention has been paid to his philological and antiquarian study of Livy. By editing, emending and lecturing on Livy’s monumental history of Rome, however, Lipsius not only followed in the footsteps of famous scholars such as Petrarch, Henricus Glareanus and Carolus Sigonius, but also continued a tradition at the Louvain Collegium Trilingue. A close investigation of Lipsius’ Epistolicae Quaestiones, which contain a masterly sample oftextual criticism, enables us to judge Lipsius’ correction of Livy against the emendatio lipsiana applied to Tacitus, thus shedding light on both the methods and achievements of one of the leading classical phi- lologists of the sixteenth century. De figuur van humanist Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) behoeft eigenlijk geen inleiding. Zijn verdiensten op het vlak van pedagogie en filosofie zijn in het verleden uitvoerig behandeld; hier gaat de aandacht uit naar Lipsius’ pres- taties op twee andere domeinen, met name de klassieke filologie en — daar- mee samenhangend — de oude geschiedenis. Lipsius’ filologische interesse leidde tot twee soorten publicaties: enerzijds schreef Lipsius aan het begin van zijn carrière een reeks zuiver tekstkritische werken, anderzijds ver- zorgde hij zijn leven lang edities van klassieke auteurs. Zijn antiquarische belangstelling resulteerde in talloze monografieën over het antieke Rome, met gevarieerde onderwerpen als gladiatorenspelen, het Romeinse leger en antieke bibliotheken. ' Gezien Lipsius’ belangstelling voor klassieke teksten enerzijds en oude geschiedenis anderzijds, is het niet verwonderlijk dat er binnen zijn oeuvre een belangrijke plaats is weggelegd voor de antieke his- toriografen.

  • Historians in Recent Histories of Historiography
    The Historical Journal, , (), pp. – © Cambridge University Press doi:./SX REPUBLICANS OF LETTERS, MEMORY POLITICIANS, GLOBAL COLONIALISTS: HISTORIANS IN RECENT HISTORIES OF HISTORIOGRAPHY CASPAR HIRSCHI Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich ABSTRACT. Writing the history of historiography is a tricky business. There is no unbiased way of doing it, and it can serve different goals that at best complement and at worst contradict each other. The genre can seem both suitable to promote one’s own academic agenda and to reflect upon one’s own ideological constraints, epistemological presumptions, and social aspirations. This article analyses the motivations and methods of recent authors in the field, and it does so principally by focusing on the roles they attribute to historians past and present. To enable comparisons, the article includes works with a national, European and global framework, on early modern and late modern historiography, by intellectual, cultural and post-colonialist historians. A general conclusion will be that while most publications use the genre to pursue academic interests with epistemic arguments, only few try to exploit its potential for critical self-reflexion. As a consequence, they tend to be of limited credibility and originality when it comes to describing historiography’s functions and historians’ roles. This article does not treat their lack of critical commitment as an isolated phenomenon in a historiographical sub-field, but as a symptom of a larger problem within academic scholarship today. There are, however, exceptions to the rule, and this article will also try to work out their particular strengths. In the early days of book reviewing, critics were busy looking for a solution to a problem that the new genre brought with it: how to expose published errors without soiling their authors’ name.

  • The Role of Italy in Milton's Early Poetic Development
    Italia Conquistata: The Role of Italy in Milton’s Early Poetic Development Submitted by Paul Slade to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in December 2017 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract My thesis explores the way in which the Italian language and literary culture contributed to John Milton’s early development as a poet (over the period up to 1639 and the composition of Epitaphium Damonis). I begin by investigating the nature of the cultural relationship between England and Italy in the late medieval and early modern periods. I then examine how Milton’s own engagement with the Italian language and its literature evolved in the context of his family background, his personal contacts with the London Italian community and modern language teaching in the early seventeenth century as he grew to become a ‘multilingual’ poet. My study then turns to his first published collection of verse, Poems 1645. Here, I reconsider the Italian elements in Milton’s early poetry, beginning with the six poems he wrote in Italian, identifying their place and significance in the overall structure of the volume, and their status and place within the Italian Petrarchan verse tradition.

  • 4. Ars Historica Como Arte Da Prudência
    4. Ars historica como arte da prudência. Quando eu considero a quantidade e a variedade dos acidentes, das enfermidades, do acaso e da violência a que a vida do homem é submetida e quantas coisas devem concorrer no ano para que a colheita seja boa, não há nada que me espante mais que ver um homem velho, um ano fértil (Francesco Guicciardini. Ricordi, máxima 161). 4.1 Uma construção de fatos e palavras. Tucídides: sobre a distinção entre logos e ergon e o procedimento da autópsia. O princípio da utilidade: Tucídides e Políbio. O tratamento latino para a tensão entre res e verba. Os preceitos da ars historica no De Oratore. A história como monumento da virtus: Salústio e Tito Lívio. Embora a história – entendida como prática de inquirição sobre as grandes e memoráveis obras dos homens calcada numa "atitude crítica com relação ao registro de acontecimentos”,1 cujo propósito central seria o de salvar os feitos humanos do esquecimento –2 tenha não apenas surgido na Grécia do V século como alcançado, com Heródoto e Tucídides, sua maior expressividade no mundo antigo, a discussão acerca da concepção retórica de história predominante na Antiguidade deve dar atenção especial às reflexões de Cícero no livro II do diálogo De Oratore, isto porque os gregos jamais chegaram a definir a história como um gênero retórico-poético. Porém, antes de discutir os preceitos ciceronianos sobre a escrita da história, dedicarei algumas páginas à análise da tensão entre logos e ergon na História da Guerra do Peloponeso de Tucídides, assim como ao exame da concepção de autópsia e do privilégio do testemunho ocular sobre os relatos orais predominantes entre os historiadores gregos, como 1 MOMIGLIANO, Arnaldo.

  • The Fate of Johannes Sambucus' Library
    HStud 30 (2016)2, 155–166 DOI: 10.1556/044.2016.30.2.2 THE FATE OF JOHANNES SAMBUCUS’ LIBRARY NOÉMI VISKOLCZ University of Miskolc [email protected] Some of the manuscripts and books of the Hungarian humanist, Johannes Sambu- cus (1531‒1584) are still kept in Vienna, in the Austrian National Library. A source of information puts a new light on the sale and reception of his library. In his last will made in 1583, Sambucus left his library, the manuscripts he still owned and his maps to his son, in 1584, not long after his death, his widow started negotiations about selling them to the Emperor Rudolf II. However, the data clearly suggest that Sambucus’ library did not become en bloc part of the Imperial Library, if the purchase took place at all: only 44 years after Sambucus’ death was a certain part of his library bought by Sebastian Tengnagel for both the Imperial Library and him- self. Another result of the research confi rms that the philologist Sambucus cannot be separated from the book and manuscript collector Sambucus, and the examples presented here justify why it is worth involving in the research the extant books of the Hungarian humanist. Keywords: Johannes Sambucus, library, Sebastian Tengnagel, Humanism, Greek language books, Hofbibliothek, Vienna Some of the manuscripts and books of the Hungarian humanist, Johannes Sam- bucus (1531‒1584) are still kept in Vienna in the Austrian National Library. Hans Gerstinger, Pál Gulyás, Franz Unterkircher, and recently Gábor Almási have all intensively studied the fate of Sambucus’ manuscripts and books, and the history of the library,1 which can be summarised as follows: due to his dire fi nancial situ- ation, in 1570 Sambucus had already offered part of his valuable manuscripts – 360 of which were written in Greek (including several unpublished texts) and 140 in Latin – to emperor Maximilian I, asking 5 ducats for each volume and a total of 2500 ducats.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

  • Giacomo Zabarella, the Author of a Dedication to King Stephen Báthory
    https://doi.org/10.15633/fhc.3736 Zbigniew Liana https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7452-8770 Pontifical University of John Paul II, Faculty of Philosophy Giacomo Zabarella, the Author of a Dedication to King Stephen Báthory Giacomo Zabarella1 (1533–1589) is known primarily as an outstanding logician and natural philosopher in the spirit of Paduan Aristotelianism. In line with the humanist idea of return to literary sources, Zabarella strove to extract Aristotle’s original thought from the confines of mediaeval scholasticism.2 Al- ready in his lifetime, he gained renown as an unequalled interpreter of Aris- totle’s works, and this acclaim only grew after his death. In 1577, King Stephen Báthory invited him to Krakow to lecture on philosophy at a newly planned university. the dedication presented below is a response to the invitation. In the 17th and 18th centuries, a multitude of biographical entries were written about Zabarella’s life. All of them are short and each is based on 1. Latin: Jacobus or Iacobus Zabarella, Italian: Giacomo or Iacopo Zabarella. On the in- consistent spelling of his first name in Italian, see section D below. In contempo- rary Italian dictionaries his name appears as Giacomo Zabarella; see three different biographical entries Zabarella, Giacomo accessible on Treccani website [online]. Note: all links to websites containing texts which are available only online or which are unavailable in Poland in printed versions but they have their official online ver- sions are listed in a separate section of Bibliography and omitted in footnotes. 2.
