  • Antiquarianism: a Reinterpretation Antiquarianism, the Early Modern
    Antiquarianism: A Reinterpretation Kelsey Jackson Williams Accepted for publication in Erudition and the Republic of Letters, published by Brill. Antiquarianism, the early modern study of the past, occupies a central role in modern studies of humanist and post-humanist scholarship. Its relationship to modern disciplines such as archaeology is widely acknowledged, and at least some antiquaries--such as John Aubrey, William Camden, and William Dugdale--are well-known to Anglophone historians. But what was antiquarianism and how can twenty-first century scholars begin to make sense of it? To answer these questions, the article begins with a survey of recent scholarship, outlining how our understanding of antiquarianism has developed since the ground-breaking work of Arnaldo Momigliano in the mid-twentieth century. It then explores the definition and scope of antiquarian practice through close attention to contemporaneous accounts and actors’ categories before turning to three case-studies of antiquaries in Denmark, Scotland, and England. By way of conclusion, it develops a series of propositions for reassessing our understanding of antiquarianism. It reaffirms antiquarianism’s central role in the learned culture of the early modern world; and offers suggestions for avenues which might be taken in future research on the discipline. Antiquarianism: The State of the Field The days when antiquarianism could be dismissed as ‘a pedantic love of detail, with an indifference to the result’ have long since passed; their death-knell was rung by Arnaldo Momigliano in his pioneering 1950 ‘Ancient History and the Antiquarian’.1 Momigliano 1 asked three simple questions: What were the origins of antiquarianism? What role did it play in the eighteenth-century ‘reform of historical method’? Why did the distinction between antiquarianism and history collapse in the nineteenth century? The answers he gave continue to underpin the study of the discipline today.

  • Les Orationes De Denis Lambin. La Défense Du Grec Dans L
    Astrid QUILLIEN LES ORATIONES DE DENIS LAMBIN LA DEFENSE DU GREC DANS L’ ORATIO DE UTILITATE LINGUAE GRAECAE ET RECTA GRAECORUM LATINE INTERPRETANDORUM RATIONE (22 octobre 1571) INTRODUCTION Tout comme Josse Bade, Marc-Antoine Muret ou Nicolas Bérault, Denis Lambin 1 eut, lui aussi, un rôle important à jouer dans la transmission des Classiques. Mais ce grand humaniste, Lecteur et Traducteur Royal de latin puis de grec dans les années 1560 et au début des années 1570, présente des méthodes de travail, une idéologie différentes de ses prédécesseurs. Une comparaison du commentaire de Denis Lambin sur l’ Art poétique d’Horace (1561) 2 avec celui de Josse Bade (1500), m’avait permis de montrer que le commentaire de Lambin était plus systématique et scientifique, en raison d’une différence d’auditoire, mais aussi d’époque 3. Pour ce qui est des praelectiones de Lambin, de ses leçons inaugurales au Collège Royal, il apparaît que l’époque, son caractère, son statut, le milieu auquel il appartient et l’auditoire auquel il s’adresse conditionnent sa rhétorique, sa pédagogie, son attitude, ses arguments. L’ Oratio De Utilitate , prononcée le 22 octobre 1571 4, représente le dernier discours prononcé par Lambin au Collège Royal avant sa mort. Comme certains prédécesseurs (Politien, Bérault 5), le Lecteur Royal ne respecte pas la forme traditionnelle, médiévale, de la praelectio , qui visait surtout à présenter l’auteur et l’œuvre étudiés, mais il l’adapte à ses préoccupations, à son époque, à sa personnalité. Ainsi, il y met en scène un ethos 1 Denis Lambin est né à Montreuil-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) en 1519.

    280 SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWS conclusion to be paradoxical, it should be esteemed quite otherwise by specialists. Sophie van Romburgh. “For My Worthy Freind Mr Franciscus Junius”: An Edition of the Correspondence of Francis Junius F.F. (1591-1677). Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2004. x + 1134 pp. $317.00. Review by ERNEST B. GILMAN, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. The indefatigable Dutch polymath whose letters are here col- lected was a jack of all scholarly trades and the master of them all. Medievalists are aware of Junius’s pioneering contributions to the study of Anglo-Saxon and Germanic philology. He was an expert in the comparative study of Old Norse, Old High German, Old Frisian, and Gothic as well as Old English. The codex in the Bodleian containing the Old English texts of Genesis A and B, Exodus, Daniel and “Christ and Satan,” still bears his name as “The Junius Manuscript.” For Renaissance art historians, The Paint- ing of the Ancients (published in Junius’s own Latin, English and Dutch versions over the period 1637-1641) represents the first comprehensive account of the visual arts in antiquity, and a cen- tral document in the history of ut pictura poesis. It stood as the standard work on the subject until the age of Winckelmann. This book was commissioned by Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel, in whose household Junius served as tutor and librarian for twenty years before the civil war. It was in this office that Junius supplied the scholarly expertise, and perhaps also his share of the enthusi- asm, behind the transnational antiquarian ventures of the “Collec- tor Earl.” Among the projects that occupied a long life devoted to scholarship was a posthumously published Catalogus, arranged al- phabetically, of all the references to objects of art (painting, sculp- ture, architecture, pottery and much else) that Junius could delve out of the archive of classical literature.

  • Holland and the Rise of Political Economy in Seventeenth-Century Europe
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, xl:2 (Autumn, 2009), 215–238. ACCOUNTING FOR GOVERNMENT Jacob Soll Accounting for Government: Holland and the Rise of Political Economy in Seventeenth-Century Europe The Dutch may ascribe their present grandeur to the virtue and frugality of their ancestors as they please, but what made that contemptible spot of the earth so considerable among the powers of Europe has been their political wisdom in postponing everything to merchandise and navigation [and] the unlimited liberty of conscience enjoyed among them. —Bernard de Mandeville, The Fable of the Bees (1714) In the Instructions for the Dauphin (1665), Louis XIV set out a train- ing course for his son. Whereas humanists and great ministers had cited the ancients, Louis cited none. Ever focused on the royal moi, he described how he overcame the troubles of the civil war of the Fronde, noble power, and ªscal problems. This was a modern handbook for a new kind of politics. Notably, Louis exhorted his son never to trust a prime minister, except in questions of ªnance, for which kings needed experts. Sounding like a Dutch stadtholder, Louis explained, “I took the precaution of assigning Colbert . with the title of Intendant, a man in whom I had the highest conªdence, because I knew that he was very dedicated, intelli- gent, and honest; and I have entrusted him then with keeping the register of funds that I have described to you.”1 Jean-Baptiste-Colbert (1619–1683), who had a merchant background, wrote the sections of the Instructions that pertained to ªnance. He advised the young prince to master ªnance through the handling of account books and the “disposition of registers” Jacob Soll is Associate Professor of History, Rutgers University, Camden.

  • The Limits of Communication Between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns
    Body Language: The Limits of Communication between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns. Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bridget Susan Buchholz, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Sarah Iles Johnston Fritz Graf Carolina López-Ruiz Copyright by Bridget Susan Buchholz 2009 Abstract This project explores issues of communication as represented in the Homeric Hymns. Drawing on a cognitive model, which provides certain parameters and expectations for the representations of the gods, in particular, for the physical representations their bodies, I examine the anthropomorphic representation of the gods. I show how the narratives of the Homeric Hymns represent communication as based upon false assumptions between the mortals and immortals about the body. I argue that two methods are used to create and maintain the commonality between mortal bodies and immortal bodies; the allocation of skills among many gods and the transference of displays of power to tools used by the gods. However, despite these techniques, the texts represent communication based upon assumptions about the body as unsuccessful. Next, I analyze the instances in which the assumed body of the god is recognized by mortals, within a narrative. This recognition is not based upon physical attributes, but upon the spoken self identification by the god. Finally, I demonstrate how successful communication occurs, within the text, after the god has been recognized. Successful communication is represented as occurring in the presence of ritual references.

  • Franciscus Junius: Philology and the Survival of Antiquity in the Art of Northern Europe
    Franciscus Junius: Philology and the survival of Antiquity in the art of northern Europe Review of: Art and Antiquity in the Netherlands and Britain. The Vernacular Arcadia of Franciscus Junius (1591 - 1677) by Thijs Weststeijn, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2015, 452 pp., 178 colour & b/w illus. €129,00/ $164.00, ISBN13: 9789004283619, E-ISBN: 9789004283992 Ann Jensen Adams The early modern Dutch claimed as their forbearers the Batavians, a Germanic tribe described by Tacitus as located in the far reaches of the Roman Empire. Writings about art produced by the seventeenth-century descendants of these provincial peoples were proud but defensive as they continued to treat Rome as the centre of civilization. In 1632 Constantijn Huygens, secretary to northern Netherlands stadtholder Prince Frederik Henry, confided to his diary that he wished the promising artists Rembrandt van Rijn and Jan Lievens had travelled to Italy to learn from the art of antiquity and the Renaissance masters who had absorbed its lessons. But, he noted, the two young men felt that there were plenty of Italian works to be seen conveniently enough in The Netherlands. He then lavished praise on a figure of Judas by Rembrandt that he felt powerfully expressed the kind of universal truths promulgated by Latin art. Indeed, he wrote, ‘[... ] all honor to you, Rembrandt! To have brought Ilium – even all of Asia Minor – to Italy was a lesser feat than for a Dutchman [...] to have captured for The Netherlands the trophy of artistic excellence from Greece and Italy.’1 Through the first three quarters of the twentieth century this ambivalent stance toward the art of northern Europe has run like a red thread through art history as it developed as a professional discipline identified with, and defined by, the Italian Renaissance’s revival of antiquity.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.
