  • The Birth of Partnership Systems in Renaissance Florence1 John F
    Chapter 6 Transposition and Refunctionality: The Birth of Partnership Systems in 1 Renaissance Florence John F. Padgett Inventions of any sort are hard to understand. They seem to come out of the blue, a rupture with the past, yet close investigation always reveals historical roots. Individual geniuses sometimes create them, but is “genius” just our celebratory label for a process that worked, which we do not understand? To proffer a tentative distinction: innovations improve on existing ways (i.e, activities, conceptions and purposes) of doing things, while inventions change the ways things are done. Under this definition, the key to classifying something as an invention is the degree to which it reverberates out to alter the interacting system of which it is a part. To some extent we understand micrologics of combination and recombination.2 Yet the invention puzzle is that some of these innovative recombinations cascade out to reconfigure entire interlinked ecologies of “ways of doing things,” whereas most innovations do not. The poisedness of a system to reconfiguration by an invention is as much a part of the phenomenon to be explained as is the system’s production of the invention itself. Invention “in the wild” cannot be understood through abstracting away from concrete social context, because inventions are permutations of that context.3 But to make progress in understanding discontinuous change we need to embed our analysis of transformation in the routine dynamics of actively self-reproducing social contexts, where constitutive elements and relations are generated and reinforced. 1 This chapter is an abridged version (40% cut) of John F.

  • Political Conspiracy in Florence, 1340-1382 A
    POLITICAL CONSPIRACY IN FLORENCE, 1340-1382 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Robert A. Fredona February 2010 © 2010 Robert A. Fredona POLITICAL CONSPIRACY IN FLORENCE, 1340-82 Robert A. Fredona, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of secret practices of opposition in the urban politics of Florence between 1340 and 1382. It is based on a wide variety of printed and archival sources, including chronicles, judicial records, government enactments, the records of consultative assemblies, statutes, chancery letters, tax records, private diaries and account books, and the ad hoc opinions (consilia) of jurists. Over the course of four chapters, it presents three major arguments: (1) Conspiracy, a central mechanism of political change and the predominant expression of political dissent in the city, remained primarily a function of the factionalism that had shattered the medieval commune, although it was now practiced not as open warfare but secret resistance. (2) Conspiracies were especially common when the city was ruled by popular governments, which faced almost constant conspiratorial resistance from elite factions that been expelled from the city or had had their political power restricted, while also inspiring increased worker unrest and secret labor organization. (3) Although historians have often located the origins of the “state” in the late medieval and early Renaissance cities of northern and central Italy, the prevalence of secret political opposition, the strength of conspirators and their allies, and the ability of conspiratorial networks, large worker congregations, and even powerful families to vie with weak regimes for power and legitimacy seriously calls this into question.

  • The Captain of the People in Renaissance Florence
    THE CAPTAIN OF THE PEOPLE IN RENAISSANCE FLORENCE Desirae Hamilton, B.A Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Member Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Hamilton, Desirae. The Captain of the People in Renaissance Florence. Master of Arts (History), August 2015, 123 pp., 1 table, 4 illustrations, references, 58 titles. The Renaissance Florentine Captain of the People began as a court, which defended the common people or popolo from the magnates and tried crimes such as assault, murder and fraud. This study reveals how factionalism, economic stress and the rise of citizen magistrate courts eroded the jurisdiction and ended the Court of the Captain. The creation of the Captain in 1250 occurred during the external fight for dominance between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope and the struggle between the Guelfs and Ghibellines within the city of Florence. The rise of the Ciompi in 1379, worried the Florentine aristocracy who believed the Ciompi was a threat to their power and they created the Otto di Guardia, a citizen magistrate court. This court began as a way to manage gaps in jurisdiction not covered by the Captain and his fellow rectors. However, by 1433 the Otto eroded the power of the Captain and his fellow rectors. Historians have argued that the Roman law jurists in this period became the tool for the aristocracy but in fact, the citizen magistrate courts acted as a source of power for the aristocracy. In the 1430s, the Albizzi and Medici fought for power.

The vast correspondence of Datini and of the Medici themselves (the largest collections of business letters to survive before the sixteenth century) yields hardly a hint of competition… However individualistic the Florentine world appears in contrast with the tight corporate structures elsewhere – the Venetian senate, the Hanseatic league, the south-German cartels, the London regulated companies – it was still permeated with something of the spirit of medieval corporatism.

  • Current Theology
    CURRENT THEOLOGY THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH FROM 1300 TO 1648: A SURVEY OF RESEARCH, 1955-1960 Three and a half centuries of the life of the Church are contained within the terminal points of this survey, extending as it does from the Great Jubilee of Boniface VIII up to the fateful Peace of Westphalia. They record a story of growth and change in which the feudal concept of respublica Christiana that had been a principle of cohesion during the Middle Ages now begins to cede dominance to new political theories, the appearance of neoclassic humanism, a religious fragmentation following upon the Protes­ tant revolt, an effective Catholic restoration originating at Rome, the steady expansion of Europe into the New World, and so on. Accordingly, it would be well beyond publication limits to include all or even a greater number of the studies that have appeared in these fields during the last five years. A quick glance at the headings of such thorough bibliographical journals as Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique will reveal the staggering bulk of research that is ever in progress. Furthermore, many of the books and articles exploring the theological, liturgical, and legalistic aspects of these crises in the Church's story are considered as belonging to independent disciplines. Nor is the objective of this bulletin to produce a type of all-embracing compilation. It is rather to gather together in summary the findings of research projects, significant new views, and syntheses of existing judgments with their modifications brought about by an ever-widening perspective in historical interpretation.
