As a consequence, scholarly research on the early modern papacy as a peacemaking force tends to concentrate on peace negotiations between Catholic powers. This doctoral thesis, in contrast, analyses the attitude of the Holy See towards political reconciliation across confessional boundaries in a case study of Pope Clement VIII Aldobrandini (r. 1592–1605). It places papal politics and diplomacy at the centre of three conflicts which had a confessional dimension: the war of the Catholic Spanish Habsburgs with Protestant England, the Spanish attempts to suppress the rebellion of the predominantly Calvinist United Provinces in the Low Countries and the power struggle between the Catholic king of Sweden and his Lutheran uncle, Duke Charles of Södermanland. This doctoral research analyses the role which Clement VIII's contemporaries expected the pontiff to fulfil in transconfessional peace processes and how far Clement VIII complied with such expectations. It sheds new light on the pope's interpretation of his traditional duties as the spiritual head of the respublica christiana to protect Christendom against those whom the papacy regarded as 'heretics', 'schismatics' and 'infidels'. This study will argue that Clement VIII followed a flexible religious policy and that, if necessary, the Aldobrandini pontiff was willing to promote the idea of a reconciliation between Catholic and Protestant powers. The transnational approach of this thesis will demonstrate that the response of the Holy See to regional and confessional conflicts needs to be understood as part of a wider strategy of the papacy which aimed at retaining the Catholic religion in the short-term and at restoring it throughout Christendom in the long-term.

No quotation from it should be published without the author's prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged." iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would not have been able to complete this doctoral thesis without the support of many individuals and institutions. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr Toby Osborne, for his expert guidance, continuous support and infinite patience over the course of my doctoral research. He has been more supportive and has cared for my personal and academic progress more than I could have ever hoped for. I am greatly indebted to several institutions and foundations who have sustained my research with generous financial contributions without which it would not have been possible for me to conduct this international research, let alone to consider writing a doctoral thesis: the University of Durham, the Schweizerische Nationalfonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung, the Society for Renaissance Studies, the Royal Historical Society, the Senior Common Room of University College (Durham) and the Department of History. During my many and prolonged research stays in Italy, Spain, France, Belgium and at the Vatican, I have enjoyed the assistance of a vast number of archivists and librarians whose dedication to their work and whose help made my research trips both fruitful and pleasant. During these long stays abroad, I have also met many fellow researchers who have made what could have been a lonely experience a happy time on which I look back with fondness. I have become friends with them ever since: Bastien 'Basta el francés' Carpentier, Dr Davide Maffi, Koldo Trapaga et al. Similarly, I am greatly indebted to many fellow early-modern history Ph.D students (past and present) in Durham. Dr Alex Brown, Dr Andy Burn, Dr Barbara Crosbie, Ben Pope as an honorary early modernist, Kathleen Reynolds, Dr Lindsay Houpt Varner and Lauren Working have all made me feel part of a vibrant scholarly and social community of early modern postgraduates in Durham. Among the members of staff in the department, I would like to thank Dr Adrian Green and Dr Nicole Reinhardt in particular for their encouraging interest in my research and their kind enquiries about my academic progress. Equally, I am thankful to Dr Nicholas Davidson (Oxford), Bram De Ridder (Leuven), Dr Tom Hamilton (Cambridge), Prof William G. Naphy (Aberdeen) and Prof Volker Reinhardt (Fribourg, CH) for their stimulating and motivating comments on my research iv project. I also remain indebted to Dr Bertrand Haan (Paris), Dr Franco Motta (Turin) and Prof Paolo Simoncelli (Rome) who generously provided me with copies of their work. Prof Steve Murdoch (St Andrews), Dr Alexia Grosjean (St Andrews) and Dr Birgitte Dedenroth- Schou (former City Archivist of Kolding and former archivist at the Danish National Archives) most kindly read and translated a Swedish primary source for me, while Dr Filip Krajník (Brno) volunteered to translate numerous passages in a Czech secondary source on Clement VIII. To Niall Oddy (Durham) and Dr Alex Brown (Durham) I will always remain indebted for their helpful comments on the entire draft of this thesis. I would like to thank Eduardo, Gwynned, Ieva, Kathleen, Lauren, Filip, Mau, Rachel, Rupert and Christine, to name only a few friends here in Durham, who have made this my second home. James, Catherine, Gašper and Niall have been truly great friends. During my writing-up stage, they have been particularly patient with me and have been of more support than they will ever imagine; they now also know more about papal politics and diplomacy than they ever imagined and wished to imagine. Ilán has become a second brother over my years in Durham, and in Switzerland I can always rely on my friends Marc, Matthias and Meinrad. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family for their constant support and loving affection for me: Muetti, Vati, Nani, Mirco, Michi and Rahel – Härzleche Dank! This doctoral thesis is dedicated to my godson Loïc and, of course, to my ever-caring mother.

By examining the diverse, and sometimes conflicting, opinions that Catholic censors expressed on Bodin’s text and the ‘errors’ it contained, the essay shows that even a relatively cohesive ‘reading community’ such as that of Counter-Reformation censors could nurture fundamental disagreement in evaluating the content and dangerousness of a book, as well as in devising appropriate countermeasures.

  • The Papacy and the Birth of the Polish-Russian Hatred Autor Tekstu: Mariusz Agnosiewicz
    The papacy and the birth of the Polish-Russian hatred Autor tekstu: Mariusz Agnosiewicz Tłumaczenie: Katarzyna Goliszek Niniejsze tłumaczenie fragmentu mojej publikacji, która jest częścią II tomu Kryminalnych dziejów papiestwa (http://www.racjonalista.pl/ks.php/k,2231), ukazało się wraz z komentarzem Czesława Białczyńskiego (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czesław_Białczyński), pt. Reconciliation Poland — Russia, back in the years of 1610-1612 and the Counter-Reformation (http://bialczynski.wordpress.com/slowianie-tradycje-kultura- dzieje/zblizenie-polska-rosja/p apiestwo-i-narodziny-nienawisci -polsko-rosyjskiej-czyli-jeszcz e-o-latach-1610-1612-i-o-kontrr eformacji/reconciliation-poland -russia-back-in-the-years-of-16 10-1612-and-the-counter-reforma tion-eng/). MA For Anti memory of Piotr Skarga Pope Paul V (1605-1621), began his pontificate by pushing Poland for anti-Russian dymitriads, one of the most stupid and most tragic episodes of our history, and ended it when his circulatory system sustained a joyous overload during the procession in honor of the massacre of Czechs in the Thirty Years' War. The participation of the Papacy and the Jesuits in the tragic Polish anti-Russian rows is usually passed over in silence. For Russia's resurgent power it was a historically traumatic event that put a strain on the entire subsequent Polish-Russian relationships, and should never be ignored while remembrance of the partitions of Poland. When in 2005 Russia replaced their old national holiday commemorating the outbreak of the October Revolution with the Day of National Unity commemorating the liberation of Moscow from the Poles in Russia in 1612, the Vatican expressed concern that it could be of the anti-Catholic nature.

Prendendo le mosse dal capolavoro dei Carracci, ci si propone di osservare la rela- zione fra i diversi elementi che compongono la decorazione: le scene mitologiche della volta, e in particolare il riquadro centrale con Bacco e Arianna, i quadri riportati con Storie di Perseo, le quattro rappresentazioni delle virt`u, le storie mitologiche sulle pareti e gli emblemi farnesiani. In particolare, si intende analizzare l’abbinamento fra le otto storie mitologiche raffigurate sulle pareti, tendenzialmente trascurate negli studi, e le imprese farnesiane sottostanti, verificando il loro rapporto con la decorazione della volta. In secondo luogo, si desidera condurre un’indagine specifica delle Storie di Perseo, da leggere in relazione alla precedente tradizione iconografica e testuale del mito, al fine di coglierne non solo il significato morale, gi`aevidenziato dalle fonti e dalla critica, ma anche le implicazioni politiche e celebrative, fino ad ora non considerate.

    BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITARIA DI GENOVA – PERCORSI TEMATICI Universalitas & Pervasivitas il costituirsi e diffondersi della S.J. e suoi echi (1540 - 1773) di A. Pisani Schede autori Atti costitutivi, ordinamenti, agiografie, etc. Antonio Possevino Antonius Possevinus (10 July 1533 – 26 February 1611) was a Jesuit protagonist of Counter Reformation as a papal diplomat and a Jesuit controversialist, encyclopedist and bibliographer. He acted as papal legate and the first Jesuit to visit Moscow, vicar general of Sweden, Denmark and northern islands, Muscovy, Livonia, Rus, Hungary, Pomerania, Saxony between 1578 and 1586. Mantova gonzaghesca; Roma giulia ; Ferrara estense: Renaissance humanist and tutor Recent scholarship has identified Antonio Possevino's family as New Christians admitted to the learned circles of the court of Renaissance Mantua and its Gonzaga dukes. His father was Piemontese from Asti and moved to Mantua where he joined the guild of goldsmiths. The family name was changed from Cagliano (Caliano) and his marriage produced three three sons, Giovanni Battista, Antonio and Giorgio. His mother nursed her son Antonio in 1533 together with Francesco III Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua 1540-1550. His learned older brother, Giovanni Battista Possevino (1522-1552) arrived in the mid-1540s in Rome of Paul III Farnese, first in the service of the Mantuan cardinal reformer Gregorio Cortese , then of the papal "cardinal nipote" Alessandro Farnese (cardinal) and finally of cardinal Ippolito II d'Este. Some of his poems are in Elogia virorum illustrium (Florence, 1551) of Paolo Giovio whom whom he frequented humanist court circles. In 1549 at seventeen Antonio came to study with his brother in Rome and met the leading men of letters at the Renaissance court of pope Julius III (1550-1555), the patron of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and the builder of Villa Giulia.

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 1-1-1988 Antonio Possevino's Tribute to Edmund Campion John Donnelly Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Volume LVII. (1988): 163-169. Publisher Link. © 1986 Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Used with permission. TEXTUS INEDITI ANTONIO POSSEVINO'S TRIBUTE TO EDMUND CAMPION JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee. During June of 1580 Edmund Campion and Robert Persons were smuggled into England and worked with marked success until Campion's capture by the English government on July 17, 1581. He was tried for treason and executed December 1, 1581. The treason charges were widely disbelieved in England and on the Continent; indeed the execution caused such resent­ ment throughout Catholic Europe that the English government felt com­ pelled to justify its action. The most important English apology was The Execution of Justice in England, which first appeared anonymously on 1 December 17, 1583 • Its real author was William Cecil, Lord Burghley. An expanded edition was published in 1584; since the English government wanted to present its case to the larger European world as well as to its own subjects, there were Latin, French, Dutch, and probably Italian and 2 German translations as early as 1584 • The news of Campion's execution created considerable stir in far away Poland. Even before Campion's martyrdom the famous Jesuit writer Peter Skarga had incorporated considerable material on the English martyrs in his popular Lives of the Saints of 1579. In 1583 there appeared at Vilna a Polish translation of Campion's Decem Rationes together with a short life of the author3 .

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

Gli Aquilani di Roma appartenevano ad una nobile famiglia pisana che ebbe fra i suoi componenti diversi cavalieri dell’ordine di S. Stefano2; alcuni suoi membri si trasferirono nella capitale dello Stato Pontificio nel secolo XVI, ove ricoprirono importanti cariche pubbliche. La testimonianza più antica della presenza a Roma di un componente della famiglia si fa risalire al 1539 ed è fornita dall’iscrizione posta su una lapide incisa nel 1736 nel pavimento della chiesa di S. Maria in Vallicella: in essa, al di sotto dello stemma di famiglia quasi completamente abraso (tav. XXVII), Ludovico Aquilani3 riferisce che nel 1539 il suo antenato Ludo- vico senior, quando era ancora in vita, eresse nella chiesa un monumento funebre a sè ed ai suoi discendenti4. Ma il confronto con tutte le altre noti- zie reperite, riguardanti la vita di Ludovico senior Aquilani (in particolare la data della sua morte avvenuta nel 1594) rende piuttosto improbabile che 1 C. PIETRANGELI (Guide rionali di Roma. Rione X–Campitelli, I, Roma, Palombi editori, 1975, p. 18) si limita a definirlo correttamente “palazzetto del ’700”. 2 Sulla famiglia Aquilani cfr.: T.
