  • 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of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary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.

  • Renaissance to the East: Western Scholarship's Blind Spot Or Justified
    RENAISSANCE TO THE EAST: WESTERN SCHOLARSHIP’S BLIND SPOT OR JUSTIFIED NEGLECT? V l a d i m i r B u b r i n UDK: 821.163.42.09»14/15« Vladimir Bubrin Pregledni rad T o r o n t o [email protected] This paper examines why Renaissance scholarship in the West pays only passing attention to the developments south of Venice and east of Nuremberg–Leipzig–Wittenberg on the example of recently published reference books and books on reading and printing in the Renaissance: Paul F. Grendler’s Encyclopedia of the Renaissance (1999); The Oxford Companion to the Book (2009); Andrew Pettegree’s The Book in the Renaissance (2010); Guglielmo Cavallo’s & Roger Chartier’s A History of Reading in the West (1999); and Jean- François Gilmont’s The Reformation and the Book (1996). While a rich body of literature on the Renaissance exists in the areas peripheral to the mainstream (Croatia, Bohemia, Poland, Hungary), there is little evidence of any dovetailing of research in the West into areas beyond its traditional boundaries. This gives rise to questions: Is there a blind spot in Western scholarship when it comes to the Renaissance to the east? Can the disregard be explained or justified? Obstacles to a more inclusive scholarship are examined and opportunities for a greater integration of research are explored. Key words: Western Renaissance scholarship, Renaissance in Croatia and Eastern Europe, integration of Renaissance research, incunabula, 16th century book, Renaissance book market. It is very common to read claims, in Croatian literature on the Renaissance in general and studies on the 15th and 16th century culture of the book and printing in particular, that Croatia was integrally connected to European cultural develop- ments and accomplishments of that period.

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.

  • Post-Antique Latin Full Page
    THE IMPORTANCE OF POST-ANTIQUE LATIN How Should We Teach the Full Legacy of Latin Literature? To say that Latin literature did not end with the Romans would be an understatement. In fact the Ro- man contribution to Latin, however fundamental, is a mere beginning. Th e amount of surviving Latin literature writt en in Europe since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late fi fth century ce is almost inconceivably larger than the surviving corpus of literature left by the Romans themselves. Th is heritage of post-Roman Latin literature was anything but a sterile idiom reserved for a few reclu- sive monks. Th e very pulse of western European civilization, as it developed through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, moved primarily to the rhythms of Latin prose and poetry. Th e language of Caesar and Cicero performed new functions and came to be used in ways unimag- ined by the ancient Romans. Latin became the vehicle for sciences as refi ned as ballistics and hydro- dynamics. Latin exclusively provided the academic and philosophical vocabulary for the expression of Europe’s most sophisticated thoughts. Latin was the language in which fundamental concepts, such as gravity and the heliocentric solar system, received their fi rst coherent expression. Latin, along with some revived terms from ancient Greek, supplied the language of botany and zoology. Latin was the in- ternational language of cartography, geography, history, and ethnography, the sciences through which the discoveries of Renaissance explorers gradually became part of the consciousness of European civi- lization. Latin, and not any of the nascent national tongues, was the primary linguistic vehicle for all of this before about 1750 ce.

De politia litteraria. Ed. by Norbert Witten. Beiträge zur Altertumskunde, 169. Munich and Leipzig: K. G. Saur, 2002. 592 pp. €94. Angelo Camillo Decembrio was born in Milan in 1415, into a family of accomplished humanists: his father was Uberto Decembrio, and one of his older brothers was Pier Candido, the most famous of them all. Angelo studied in Milan with Gasparino Barzizza, then in Ferrara with the physi- cian Ugo Bensi and the renowned schoolmaster Guarino da Verona. He began his career by dividing his efforts between giving lessons and serving as a copyist for his brother, but in 1441 he and Pier Candido broke off relations permanently. Benzi introduced him into the humanist circle of Niccolò d’Este and his son Leonello; his travels took him to Milan, Bologna, Perugia, Burgundy, Spain, and the Aragonese court in Naples, but he returned often to Ferrara.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Philosophy Provides an Introduction to a Complex Period of Change in the Subject Matter and Practice of Philosophy
    THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Philosophy provides an introduction to a complex period of change in the subject matter and practice of philosophy. The philosophy of the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries is often seen as transitional between the scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages and modern philosophy, but the essays collected here, by a distinguished international team of contributors, call these assumptions into question, emphasizing both the continuity with scholastic philosophy and the role of Renaissance philosophy in the emergence of modernity. They explore the ways in which the science, religion, and politics of the period reflect and are reflected in its philosophical life, and they emphasize the dynamism and pluralism of a period which saw both new perspectives and enduring contributions to the history of philosophy. This will be an invaluable guide for students of philosophy, intellectual historians, and all who are interested in Renaissance thought.
