  • Wie Was Pieter Gillis ?
    Wie was Pieter Gillis ? Op 28 november 1509 werd Pieter Gillis stadsgriffier te Antwerpen. Hij bleef 23 jaar in functie tot zijn schoonzoon, Pieter de Coelenare, op 29 november 1532 zijn taken overnam. Tot in 1530 bewoonde Pieter Gillis het huis van zijn vader, De Biecorf, gelegen op de Kiekenmarkt (thans Eiermarkt) te Antwerpen. De laatste jaren van zijn leven woonde hij in het Werfstraatje (thans Heilige-Geeststraat) waar zijn derde vrouw Kathelijne Draeckx het vruchtgebruik van een huis had. Na zijn opleiding in de Antwerpse papenschool vertrok Pieter al op jonge leeftijd (14 jaar) naar de universiteit van Orléans. Daar was een gerenommeerde rechtsacademie waar heel wat Brabantse juristen gevormd werden ter voorbereiding op een functie in de stadsadministratie. Maar Pieter slaagde er aanvankelijk niet in zich door te zetten. Was hij nog te jong? Was zijn opleiding ontoereikend? Feit is dat hij terug naar huis kwam om corrector te worden in de drukkerij van Dirk Martens. In diens atelier leerde hij Erasmus kennen, van wie Martens in februari 1503 een verzamelboek, ‘Lucubratiunculae aliquot’, uitgaf en een jaar later een ‘Panegyricus’, een lofrede op Filips de Schone. Voor dat laatste werk kwam Erasmus zelf naar Antwerpen: de opdrachtbrief bij de lofrede is geschreven ‘ex officina chalcographica’. Pieter werd een vertrouweling van Erasmus en op aansporing van de Rotterdamse humanist ondernam hij een tweede poging om een titel te verwerven. In juni 1504 schreef ‘Petrus Egidii filius Nicholai Egidii de Antverpia’ zich in als student te Leuven, waarschijnlijk weer aan de rechtsfaculteit. Hij combineerde zijn studies met correctiewerk voor Dirk Martens en vanaf 1509 met zijn opdracht als griffier.

H. Beck, 2016. 304 pp. €26.95. As a number of people have noticed, Neo-Latin as a discipline seems to have reached a crossroads. After a hiatus of almost forty years, during which the field was well served by Josef IJsewijn and Dirk Sacré’s Companion to Neo-Latin Studies (Leuven, 1977), three new handbooks have recently appeared in rapid succession: Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World, ed. Philip Ford, Jan Bloemendal, and Charles Fantazzi (Leiden, 2014); The Oxford Handbook of Neo- Latin, ed. Sarah Knight and Stefan Tilg (Oxford, 2015); and A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature, ed. Victoria Moul (Cambridge, 2017). At the same time, my “Recent Trends in Neo-Latin Studies,” Renaissance Quarterly 69 (2016): 617–29 appeared, signifying that Neo-Latin has received the same recognition that English, history, and German have in the journal of record for the period in which the greatest amount of Neo-Latin literature was produced.

  • Press Release Exhibition UTOPIA & MORE. THOMAS MORE, the LOW
    Press release Exhibition UTOPIA & MORE. THOMAS MORE, THE LOW COUNTRIES AND THE UTOPIAN TRADITION (Leuven, October 20 2016 – January 17 2017) Utopia & More . Both names are intrinsically connected. When hearing ‘Utopia’, one immediately thinks of Thomas More. Likewise, when Thomas More is mentioned, the title of his most famous work usually follows. Together with Erasmus’s Praise of Folly , More’s Utopia might very well be the best known example of Neo-Latin literature. Both works are also related in content and approach, since they both treat serious topics in a playful manner. With Utopia , Thomas More established his reputation as an author. His book would be read, translated, published and republished – over and over again, until the present day. But More is so much more than the author of Utopia . He was a humanist scholar at heart who could just as well comment on the work of Augustine as produce Latin epigrams in the best possible classical tradition. He mastered Greek – an unusual feat in his day – and maintained a lively correspondence with like-minded humanists on the continent. But his scholarly and literary activities formed only one part of his personality: first and foremost, he was a lawyer. A very gifted one at that, who would climb to the highest political office in England, namely that of Lord Chancellor. His life was also marked by deep devotion, both to work and religion. Many of his writings are polemical in nature and serve one single purpose: to defend the Catholic faith, regardless of the attacker. This was true even if he was up against the most powerful person in the land, his patron and master, King Henry VIII.

Contact: [email protected] Counterfeit Letters and Fictional Trials: Thomas More’s Utopia as Cultural Brand Andie Silva York College, CUNY [email protected] Thomas More’s Utopia (1516) remains a text that defies straight-forward interpretations. Is it a political tract, a philosophical reflection, a Humanist satire, or some unique combination of these styles? As More himself disdainfully acknowledges in his prefatory letter to Peter Giles, the failure or success of Utopia relies on “the natures of men [which] be so divers” that, at best, they are sour and unpleasant and, at worst, “so narrow in the shoulders that he can bear no tests nor taunts” (A Fruteful, and Pleasaunt Worke of the Beste State of a Publyque Weale, 1551, A3r). Alongside the overwhelming number of paratextual materials which accompany each edition of Utopia, this letter points to the work’s tantalizing instability. More is at once overzealous about shaping the reception of his text and self-aware about the impossibility of authorial control. Regardless of what genre we choose to assign to it, Utopia may be primarily a work about mediation.
