De Militia] Johann Georg Graevius From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Johann Georg Graevius. Johann Georg Graevius (properly Guava or Greffe ) (29 January 1632 – 11 January 1703) was a German classical scholar and critic . He was born at Naumburg . Graevius was originally intended for the law , but made the acquaintance of Johann Friedrich Gronovius during a casual visit to Deventer , under whose influence he abandoned jurisprudence for philology . He completed his studies under Daniel Heinsius at Leiden , and among others under the Protestant theologian David Blondel at Amsterdam . During his residence in Amsterdam, under Blondel's influence he abandoned Lutheranism and joined the Reformed Church ; and in 1656 he was called by the Elector of Brandenburg to the chair of rhetoric in the University of Duisburg . Two years afterwards, on the recommendation of Gronovius, he was chosen to succeed that scholar at Deventer; in 1662 he moved to the University of Utrecht , where he occupied first the chair of rhetoric, and in addition, from 1667 until his death, that of history and politics . Graevius enjoyed a very high reputation as a teacher, and his lecture-room was crowded by pupils, many of them of distinguished rank, from all parts of the world. He was visited by Lorenzo Magalotti and honoured with special recognition by Louis XIV , and was a particular favourite of William III of England , who made him historiographer royal. His two most important works are the Thesaurus antiquitatum Romanarum (1694–1699, in 12 volumes), and the Thesaurus antiquitatum et historiarum Italiae published after his death, and continued by the elder Pieter Burmann (1704–1725), although these have not always been looked upon favourably. [1] His editions of the classics, although they marked a distinct advance in scholarship, are now for the most part superseded. They include Hesiod (1667), Lucian , Pseudosophisla (1668), Justin , Historiae Philippicae (1669), Suetonius (1672), Catullus , Tibullus et Propertius (1680), and several of the works of Cicero , which are considered his best. He also edited many of the writings of contemporary scholars. References 1. ^ Not, for example, in J.-C.

Mentioning by chance his interest in the funding of Roman roads to Conde du Lis, advisor to Louis XIII , he found himself suddenly commanded by the king to undertake a study of all Roman roads. Five years later he published his Histoire des Grands Chemins de l'Empire Romain , a two-volume work of over 1000 pages. There were many subsequent editions. This first scholarly study of Roman roads included engravings of the Tabula Peutingeriana . Edward Gibbon consulted Bergier's work while researching his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . References • Portrait There is an article on Nicolas Bergier in 'A Universal Biography...' by John Platts (1826), which reads: NICHOLAS BERGIER, a man of learning, was born at Rheims on March 1, 1557, and brought up at the university of that city, of which he became a professor. Embracing the profession of law he was made syndic of Rheims, and was frequently deputed to Paris on public affairs. At that metropolis he contracted an intimate friendship with Pciresc and du Puy, who engaged him to execute a work he had projected on the high roads of the empire. M. de Bellievre took Bergicr to his house, and procured him a pension, with the brevet of historiographer; He died in 162.3. Bergier left in MS. a history of Rheims, which was published by his son in 1635, 4to. His other works are — 1.

Il controverso monumento innalzato di recente a Cherso, dove Francesco Patrizi è ribattezzato Frane Petric. Francesco Patrizi [1] (in latino : Franciscus Patricius ; Cherso , 25 aprile 1529 – Roma , 6 febbraio 1597 ) è stato un filosofo italiano , di orientamento platonico . Biografia Nel 1538 era già imbarcato su una nave al comando dello zio Giovanni Giorgio Patrizi; dopo aver studiato a Cherso con Petruccio da Bologna , nel 1544 fu a Venezia , dove studiò grammatica con Andrea Fiorentino , passando poi a Ingolstadt , sotto la protezione del cugino, il luterano Mattia Flacio Illirico . Nel 1547 era a Padova per studiare filosofia con Bernardino Tomitano , Marco Antonio Passeri , detto "Il Genua", Lazzaro Bonamico e Francesco Robortello ; qui fu presidente della Congrega degli Studenti Dalmati e pubblicò i suoi primi scritti. In una tarda lettera, indirizzata il 12 gennaio 1587 all'amico Baccio Valori , scrisse che a Padova aveva «trovato un Xenofonte greco e latino, senza niuna guida o aiuto, si mise nella lingua greca , di che havea certi pochi principi in Inghilstat, e fece tanto profitto che a principio di novembre e di studio ardì di studiare e il testo di Aristotile e i commentatori sopra la Loica greci. Andò ad udir il Tomitano, famoso loico, ma non gli pose mai piacere, senza saper dire perché, onde studiò loica da sé. L’anno sequente entrò alla filosofia di un certo Alberto e del Genoa e né anco questi gli poterono piacere, onde studiò da sé. In fin di studio udì il Monte medico, e gli piacque per il metodo di trattar le cose, e così Bassiano Lando, di cui fu scolare mentre stette in istudio. E fra tanto, sentendo un frate di S. Francesco sostentar conclusioni platoniche, se ne innamorò, e fatto poi seco amicizia dimandogli che lo inviasse per la via di Platone. Gli propose come per via ottima la Teologia del Ficino, a che si diede con grande avidità: E tale fu il principio di quello che poi sempre ha seguitato». A Venezia nel 1553 pubblicò la Città felice , il Dialogo dell'Honore , il Discorso sulla diversità dei furori poetici e le Lettere sopra un sonetto di Petrarca . Alla morte del padre nel 1554 tornò a Cherso per occuparsi dell’eredità e vi rimase per quattro anni. Tornato in Italia , intenzionato ad entrare nella corte del duca di Ferrara Ercole II d'Este , gli presentò il suo poema, Eridano , scritto negli innovativi versi martelliani tredecasillabi, senza tuttavia ottenere il successo sperato. Passato allora a Venezia, sotto il patronato di Giorgio Contarini, fondò con il poeta Bernardo Tasso , il padre di Torquato , l’ Accademia della Fama e scrisse i dieci Dialoghi della Historia nel 1560 e nel 1562 i dieci Dialoghi della Retorica . Mandato a Cipro per curare gli interessi del Contarini, si diede al commercio e all’acquisto di manoscritti greci e si trovò a dover anche partecipare alla guerra turco-veneziana, imbarcato nella flotta comandata da Andrea Doria . Passato al servizio dell’arcivescovo di Cipro Filippo Mocenigo , nel 1568 ritornò in Italia, e si stabilì a Padova , precettore di Zaccaria, nipote del Mocenigo e scrivendo le Discussioni peripatetiche il cui primo volume fu pubblicato nel 1571 e interamente nel 1581 a Basilea, dedicate a Zaccaria Mocenigo. Conquistata Cipro dai turchi, perdette il patrimonio investito nell’isola; vendette allora i manoscritti greci a Filippo II di Spagna e si trovò a dovere chiedere aiuto ad amici ai quali dedicò la sua Amorosa filosofia . Dal 1577 al 1592 insegnò filosofia nell' università di Ferrara , e fu membro dell' Accademia della Crusca nel 1587 , continuando a pubblicare scritti filosofici, letterari, di strategia militare, di ottica , d’ idraulica , di botanica ; nel 1581 pubblicò le Discussioni peripatetiche , nel 1585 il Parere in difesa di Ludovico Ariosto , nel 1586 il Della Poetica , ove sostenne la superiorità della lingua volgare sul latino, nel 1587 la Nuova geometria dedicata a Carlo Emanuele I di Savoia , la Philosophia de rerum natura e nel 1591 la Nova de universis philosophia , che fu temporaneamente messa all' Indice dal Sant'Uffizio , per essere poi rimossa in seguito alle correzioni fatte dello stesso Patrizi. Nel 1592 l'amico papa Clemente VIII lo nominò professore presso lo Studium Urbis . A Roma pubblicò nel 1594 la sua ultima opera, i Paralleli militari . Fu anche membro del Collegio illirico di San Gerolamo. È sepolto nella chiesa romana di Sant’Onofrio al Gianicolo , nella stessa tomba di Torquato Tasso . Posizioni filosofiche Le Discussiones peripateticae libri XV esaminano la tradizione aristotelica, confrontandola con quella presocratica e platonica; immediata è la critica di Aristotele , a partire dalla sua vita: «né i suoi costumi furono così santi, né così magnifiche le sue azioni né così varie le sua azioni da ingenerare ammirazione» (I, 2).

He appeared at Cologne in 1581, where he apparently studied the writings of Aristotle. At some point prior to obtain- ing his doctorate, Althusius also studied law at Geneva with Denis Godefroy (1549–1622), the renowned legal scholar who published the first complete edi- tion of Roman Civil Law in 1583.2 He received his doctorate in both civil and canon law at Basel in 1586. Astonishingly, he published his first book Jurisprudentiae Romanae, which was a systematic treatise on Roman law based on the Godefroy edition, during the same year. While at Basel, he lived for a time in the home of Johannes Grynaeus (1540–1617), with whom he studied Reformed theology and thereafter maintained a lifelong correspon- dence. In 1586, he accepted a call to teach in the newly founded law faculty in the Reformed Academy at Herborn.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

  • Poems on the Threshold: Neo-Latin Carmina Liminaria
    Chapter 3 Poems on the Threshold: Neo-Latin carmina liminaria Harm-Jan van Dam Introduction Imagine someone about four hundred years ago picking up a new Latin book, for instance the fourth edition of Daniel Heinsius’ poetry, published in Leiden, shown at the end of this paper. It dates from 1613, as the colophon at the end of the book states. Readers enter the book through the frontispiece or main entrance, with its promises of sublime poetry given by the crown- ing of Pegasus, and of a text so much more correct and complete according to the inscription (emendata locis infinitis & aucta) that it would be better to throw away their earlier editions. The entrance draws the reader inside to the next page where he may learn the book’s contents (indicem . aversa indicat pagina). That index is followed first by a prose Dedicatio addressed to one of the Governors of Leiden University, then by a poem in six elegiac distichs on Heinsius’ Elegies by Joseph Scaliger, a letter by Hugo Grotius ending with seven distichs, and a Greek poem of sixteen distichs by Heinsius’ colleague Petrus Cunaeus. Finally Heinsius devotes six pages to an Address Amico lectori. Then, stepping across the threshold, the reader at last enters the house itself, the first book of the Elegies.1 Many, if not most, early modern books begin like this, with various prelimi- nary matter in prose and especially in poetry. Nevertheless, not much has been written on poems preceding the main text of books.2 They are often designated 1 Respectively pp.

  • *** Le Explicationes Rappresentano Il Primo Significativo Com- Mento Cinquecentesco Alla Poetica Di Aristotele Dopo La Tradu- Zi
    Anno II ISSN 2421-4191 2016 DOI : 10.6092/2421-4191/2016.2.153-174 FRANCESCO ROBORTELLO IN LIBRUM ARISTOTELIS DE ARTE POETICA EXPLICATIONES Francesco Robortello (Udine 1516 - Padova 1567), allievo di Gregorio Amaseo a Padova e di Romolo Amaseo a Bologna, iniziò l’attività accademica nel 1538, a Lucca, come docente di eloquenza. Chiamato a decla- mare l’orazione inaugurale per la ripresa delle attività dello Studio pisano (1° novembre 1543), divenne nella stessa sede lettore di humanae litterae , tenendo corsi, tra l’altro, sulle opere retoriche e morali di Cicerone. Nel 1548 – anno della pubblicazione di alcune delle sue opere più significative – Robortello si trasferì a Venezia, succedendo a Giambattista Egnazio nell’insegnamento di lettere greche e latine. Proprio durante il soggiorno veneziano intensi- ficò la sua attività filologica, di cui l’edizione delle sette tragedie di Eschi- lo è uno dei risultati di maggiore rilievo. Nel 1552 a Padova ricoprì la cattedra di eloquenza greca e latina, prendendo il posto di Lazzaro Buo- namici. Risale al 1553 la nota polemica con Carlo Sigonio. Dopo un anno di insegnamento presso lo Studio di Bologna, il filologo udinese ritornò a Padova, dove morì nel 1567. MURATORI 1732; LIRUTI 1762, t.

    Early Modern Low Countries 1 (2017) 2, pp. 273-296 - eISSN: 2543-1587 273 The Banished Scholar Beverland, Sex, and Liberty in the Seventeenth-Century Low Countries Karen Hollewand Karen Hollewand completed her ba and ma at the University of Utrecht before moving to England, where she finished her dphil on the banishment of Beverland at the University of Oxford in 2016. She is interested in the early modern social, cultural, and intellectual history of Europe and of the Low Countries in particular. Currently, she is editing her thesis for publication, working on an English translation of Beverland’s De Peccato Originali with Floris Verhaart, and developing a new research project on sex and science in the early modern period. Abstract Scholar Hadriaan Beverland was banished from Holland in 1679. Why was this humanist exiled from one of the most tolerant parts of Europe in the seventeenth century? This arti- cle argues that it was Beverland’s singular focus on sexual lust that got him into such great trouble. In his studies, he highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, history, and his own society. Dutch theologians disliked his theology, exegesis, and his use of erudition to mock their authority. His humanist colleagues did not support him either, since Bev- erland threatened the basis of the humanist enterprise by drawing attention to the sexual side of the classical world. And Dutch magistrates were happy to convict the young scholar, because he had insolently accused them of hypocrisy. By restricting sex to marriage, in compliance with Reformed doctrine, secular authorities upheld a sexual morality that was unattainable, Beverland argued, and he proposed honest discussion of the problem of sex.

    ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ LIX 2015 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Valentina Lepri Faculty of “Artes Liberales” University of Warsaw Hic liber libenter legitur in Polonia Mapping the popularity of the Zodiacus Vitae in Poland between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries* Choć Zodiacus vitae Marcellusa Palingeniusa Stellatusa był jedną z najbar- dziej sensacyjnych publikacji XVI stulecia, jego popularność w epoce rene- sansu nie stała się jeszcze przedmiotem wszechstronnych badań naukowych. Zatem celem niniejszego artykułu jest wypełnienie przynajmniej części tej luki poprzez prezentację popularności dzieła w szesnastowiecznej Polsce, gdzie pierwszego przekładu dokonał Mikołaj Rej. Faktem jest, że wielu innych wybitnych przedstawicieli kultury polskiego renesansu interesowało się Zodiacusem, na co znajdujemy liczne odwołania do tego dzieła, zarówno w utworach poetyckich, jak i traktatach fi lozofi cznych. Ustrój ówczesnej Rzeczypospolitej oraz intensywne kontakty z niemieckimi i włoskimi uni- wersytetami dają doskonałe pole do badań pogłębiających nasze rozumienie wpływu Zodiacusa na rozwój literatury i kultury pod koniec XVI i na początku XVII stulecia. 1 Słowa kluczowe: Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus, literatura renesansowa, neoplatonizm, humanizm, renesans włoski Keywords: Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus, Renaissance literature, Neo- -platonism, Humanism, Italian Renaissance * Th is article is part of a research project dealing with the circulation of certain works of Italian philosophical culture in late-Renaissance Poland which is being carried out in liaison with Professor Danilo Facca, whom I should like to thank for his ongoing assistance. http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/OiRwP.2015.03 68 VALENTINA LEPRI All the studies dealing with the Zodiacus Vitae, and the identity of its author Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus (ca 1500 - ca 1551), make constant references to the runaway success of the book just a few years after its publication.
