The ornamental frame used as back- ground comes from Morata Olimpia Fulvia, Opera omnia cum eruditorum testimonijs (Basel, Pietro Perna: 1580) [copy: BSB Munich, Opp. 102], fol. *8v. The engraving shows the image of the sorrowful Italy (r.) with the cartouche ʽSpoliata ingemisco (Plundered I sigh)ʼ, and Germany (l.) in triumph, with the inscription ʽOrnata insurgo (Decorated I rise)ʼ. It illustrates therefore, in nuce, the theme of our volume and shows that there were already germs of a theory about the effects of migration in early modern times close to a translatio studiorum: through the afflux of migrating heterodox Italians, Germany´s intellectual power is increasing.

Much has been written since Cantimori on heterodox Italians, less on Italian-transalpine connections; practical knowledge concerning widely dispersed sources and lit- erature often published in inaccessible places can be likewise hard to review. The aim of this volume has been, then, to bring together a group of young but experienced scholars of the subject to produce an interim report on the current state of research, in the full knowledge that investigations are continuing apace on all the themes touched upon here and that, alas, we have not been able to cover all the migrant individuals and groups and the ongoing discourses con- cerning them. A generous invitation from Paola Molino from the University of Padua provided a welcome opportunity for fruitful discussion of pre-circulated draft papers by the majority of the contributing authors as well as by three external commentators, Adelisa Malena, Chiara Petrolini and Gábor Almási (September 28, 2017). Several colleagues have also helped behind the scenes as readers and reviewers of the papers, adding different views and expertise to the editors’ own readings and comments. As Intersections is not a series that relies on a limited pool of recurring reviewers, their anonymous status can be lifted here to thank them together with the much appreciated helping hands in Padua: Artemio E. Baldini, Paolo Carta, Brendan Dooley, Chiara Franceschini, Martin Mulsow. At a late stage of preparation, after the review process had been completed, Lucia Felici’s paper could be added, enabled foremost by Vincenzo Lavenia’s unmatched gentleness. Our thanks also go to the co- members of the Board of Intersections who immediately embraced the proj- ect and to its general editor Karl A.E. Enenkel, as well as to Ivo Romein, Arjan van Dijk, Gera van Bedaf, and Renee Otto from Brill, for their as always high- ly professional and efficient collaboration, and also to the typesetting team of Asiatype Inc. for a very quick and precise type-setting. The texts by non- English-speakers have been edited by Stephen Walsh, the introduction par- tially edited and partially translated by John Phillimore.

  • The Legacy of Servetus: Humanism and the Beginning of Change of the Social Paradigm. on the Occasion of 450Th Anniversary of His Martyrdom
    The Legacy of Servetus: Humanism and the Beginning of Change of the Social Paradigm. On the Occasion of 450th Anniversary of His Martyrdom Marian Hillar Center for Philosophy and Socinian Studies Published in A Journal from The Radical Reformation, A Testimony to Biblical Unitarianism, Volume 11, No. 2, 2003, pp. 34-41. Michael Servetus occupies a unique place in the annals of European history. He was a lonely scholar and a bold mind who left two great legacies.1 In the realm of intellectual inquiry he demanded a radical reevaluation of the entire ideological religious system of assertions and dogmas imposed on Western Europe since the fourth century. Servetus's theological inquiry initiated the study of scriptural tradition in an attempt to uncover the real religious doctrines contained in it. On the moral societal level Servetus demanded freedom of intellectual inquiry, thought, conscience, and expression that was denied to millions on doctrinal theological grounds. By his sacrifice Servetus set into motion a process of change in the entire social paradigm and recovery of the right to freedom of conscience. Establishment of an ecclesiastical paradigm. Servetus’s role as a central figure in history who initiated the process of recovering the social humanistic paradigm becomes obvious if we put it in a historical perspective. Greco-Roman pre-Christian society enjoyed toleration, freedom of religion, of conscience, and of thought. Ancient religions never demanded conversion. The ancient western world did not have the concept of "heresy" or "heretic." This was due to the lack of a state religion and state sanctioned theological doctrine, though the people and the centers of power were highly religious.

  • 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.

  • Statistical Analysis Marriage Nullity Cases in the United States of America from 2016-2018
    Statistical Analysis Marriage Nullity Cases in the United States of America from 2016-2018 Introduction Over three years have passed since the reform of the process for the declaration of the nullity of marriage legislated by the Motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus and Mitis et misericors Iesus has gone into effect. Due to the novelty of the Processus brevior coram Episcopo, there is much interest in the way it is being used. Several have already produced statistical studies. There are the two studies for the Ibero- American tribunals.1 In addition, the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland published in its 2019 Newsletter a statistical analysis for Tribunal activity in 2017.2 There is also the periodical Proceedings of the Canon Law Society of America, which began in 2017 to published the statistics for the briefer process.3 Scope and Method The present study seeks to analyze the statistics regarding the first instance activity of ecclesiastical Tribunals in the United States of America from 2016 through 2018. While some of above-mentioned studies relied heavily on reports of the Central Office of Statistics of the Church, the raw data for this study was gathered exclusively from the Annual Reports on the State and Activity of the Tribunal submitted to the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. 4 Certainly this choice placed some limitations on the data intake; however, the report provides a unique data set including the number of appeals lodged by the defender of the bond. Throughout the study, several abbreviations are used: PB, processus brevior coram Episcopo PO, processus ordinarius DV, defensor vinculi 1 Cf.

  • IOANNES DANTISCUS' CORRESPONDENCE With
    IOANNES DANTISCUS’ CORRESPONDENCE wITh ALFONSO DE VALDÉS: INTRODUCTION 1. Opening remarks Alfonso de Valdés, described by Erasmus of Rotterdam as “the most faith- ful of friends” (amicorum fidissimus),1 was a great Spanish humanist, secretary to Emperor Charles V and the right hand of Grand Chancellor Mercurino Arbo- rio di Gattinara. Valdés formed a warm friendship with Ioannes Dantiscus, also an Erasmianist, a Neo-Latin poet and long-term ambassador of the Kingdom of Poland to the imperial court. This unusually intensive and deep relationship is documented by their correspondence, presented in this volume. Among the 650 correspondents of the Polish humanist known to us, it would be hard to find any- one dearer to Dantiscus than Valdés. According to the Papal Nuncio and learned Greek scholar from Italy, Vicenzo Pimpinello, there was no one at the imperial court who loved and respected Dantiscus more, or who knew him better, than Val- dés.2 German scholar and poet Helius Eobanus Hessus stated emphatically that “Dantiscus can get anything from Valdés.”3 The collection of 6,144 letters that make up Dantiscus’ preserved correspon- dence contains no other record of everyday contacts, similar to the 72 letters pub- lished here. These letters not only testify to a friendship based on similar ways of thinking and shared intellectual interests, but also show that through his influence 1 ALLEN 9, No. 1469, p. 237. 2 Vicenzo Pimpinello to Ioannes Dantiscus, Regensburg, 1532-08-31, CIDTC, IDL 822: Taceo Valdesium, a quo si amaris sique observaris et tamquam pater coleris, qui te melius sciat, habemus neminem.

When the Members of the Association voted to approve the Marquis Gate (now Entrada Avenue Gate) project in 2007 they were told that the unmanned new gate to and from Livingston Road would only be accessible to authorized occupants of the lots in Imperial Golf Estates Phases I through V. When the Board of Directors negotiated the settlement with Milano Recreation Association and Delasol Homeowners Association to end the law suit that ensured our use of the right of way to Livingston Road, the same condition was duplicated in the settlement. Only the Lot Owners in Imperial Golf Estates Homeowners Association were assessed for the Entrada Avenue gate system and therefore will be able to be issued or purchase bar code permits to use the Entrada Avenue gate. The IGEHOA owned and operated new back gate system is entirely separate from the manned front gate system owned and op0erated by the Greater Imperial Board that we have all been using. Therefore the new, unmanned Entrada Avenue back gate will only be accessible to the authorized occupants of the 634 lots in Imperial Golf Estates Homeowners Association Phases I through V who are issued or purchase a new Bar Code permit to be affixed to the side window of their personal vehicles or vehicles permanently parked on or within their property by the Property Manager’s Office.

  • 11 Women of the Reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since The
    Women of the reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) has proclaimed a Luther or reformation decade in 2008 in order to celebrate the beginning of the reformation 500 years ago, the interest in what and how women contributed to the spreading of the new reformatory ideas and live style has been increasing in Germany. The situation has been completely different when I was studying evangelical theology in Marburg and Heidelberg in the beginning of the 1980th. In that time German scholars, or rather female scholars, only started to research the bible and church history about women's contribution, although in other countries, like in the USA, Roland H. Bainton (1894-1984) had already published his book “Women of the Reformation in Germany and Italy” in 1971. It is very significant that it took 24 years to translate this book into German. In 1995 it had become available as paperback issue with the title “Frauen der Reformation. Von Katharina von Bora bis Anna Zwingli”. It contains seven biographies and a summarized description of women of the Anabaptist movement. It quickly became very popular and in 1996 already the third edition was published. In our lectures and seminars we only heard about Martin Luther, his life as monk and his conversion, about Luther´s posting of theses in 1517 in Wittenberg, about his central reformatory scriptures in the 1520th and the bible translation. We had to learn the important milestones of the reformation like the Imperial Diets / Reichstage in Worms 1521 and

  • Bernardino Ochino of Siena
    202 BERNARDINO OCHINO OF SIENA BERNARDINO OCHINO OF SIENA: CAPUCHIN AND REFORMER (1487-1564). BY JOHN KNIPE. " False Christians desire a Christ after their manner, rich, proud and magnificent."-OcHINO. 0CHINO THE FRANCISCAN. OR thirty years the most famous of Italian preachers, the F personality of Bernardino Ochino has been compared to a defaced portrait in the gallery of the great men of the Later Renais­ sance. His name has been blotted out for centuries by the deliberate malice of an unforgiving Church. It is a local nickname. Siena was divided into Contrada (Quarters). One was called" Oca" (Goose). It extended from the Dominican Church to Dante's Fonte Branda, and here there stands to this day the house of the Dyer's daughter, Caterina. We know his father's name by an item in the Account Book of the Cathedral Treasury: "January I540. Was paid 32 Lire to Fra Bernardino son of Domenico Tommasini called Ochino." It is the preacher's modest fee. He was still a lad when he joined the Observants, a Reformed Order of the Franciscans, whose monastery was some two miles from the City Gate, and it is quite possible that he had been influenced by Savonarola's preaching. Ochino declared in later life that he never regretted his decision, which had kept him from many temptations and sins of the world, and given him the oppor­ tunity to study the Scriptures and contemplative theology. Bible­ study was then only permissible in the Cloister. He took the cowl, hoping thus " to gain Paradise, though not without the aid of Divine Grace," and he concluded "that the Observant Rule, being the most austere, should best represent the example of Christ." There is a doubtful statement that he left the Order for some years to study medicine in Perugia.
