  • Archivio Gonzaga
    Archivio Gonzaga buste A-Z e 1-3720 (762, in copia del sec. XI-1866) cfr.: Pietro Torelli, L’Archivio Gonzaga di Mantova, Arnaldo Forni Editore, Ostiglia (MN) 1920, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1988, vol. I; Alessandro Luzio, La corrispondenza familiare, amministrativa e diplomatica dei Gonzaga, Verona 1922, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1993, vol. II. Archivio Gonzaga Nota introduttiva L’Archivio Gonzaga si può definire in sostanza come l’antico archivio «segreto» marchionale poi ducale, abbondantemente integrato con altra documentazione di data molto posteriore alla caduta della dinastia; esso è stato inserito, durante i lavori di ordinamento iniziati nel 1760, entro le ventidue classi A-Z fissate col piano di sistemazione variato il 13 agosto 1775. Come tale è poi rimasto, intatto nella sua struttura, a costituire il nucleo più prestigioso e il centro d’attrazione di sempre nuove carte di particolare importanza, sia dell’archivio governativo istituito nel 1786, sia soprattutto dell’archivio storico patrio pervenuto, come si è detto, all’Archivio di Stato di Mantova nel 1899. Un tipico archivio di corte e di cancelleria, insomma, con richiami di atti dalle più svariate magistrature sia comunali che principesche, ma ordinato per materia a posteriori, e quindi in modo tale da non rispecchiare né l’organizzazione della cancelleria, né tanto meno quella degli organi di governo nel loro complesso. Naturalmente esso comprende anche carte di data anteriore all’avvento dei Gonzaga al potere: in particolare quelle che i Gonzaga stessi avevano concentrato nella magna domus dopo la battaglia di piazza San Pietro del 16 agosto 1328, data comunemente accolta come termine della signoria bonacolsiana, e che l’incendio dell’archivio del comune nel 1413 ha reso poi particolarmente preziose.

It argues that engaging with cultural citizenship assists in moving debates beyond misleadingly narrow conceptions of the digital divide. It suggests that cultural citizenship invokes questions of access, visibility and cultural recognition, as well as tensions between intra- and inter-cultural communication online. The paper calls for a reflexive and critical research agenda which accounts for the ‘attention economy’ of the Internet and issues of cultural ethics online. The paper concludes that research and debate in this field must acknowledge ongoing tensions and contradictions between a postmodern ‘remix’ ethic in which the Internet serves as an open cultural archive which citizens can freely access and rework, on the one hand, and claims for cultural authorship, sovereignty and protection, on the other.

  • Print Culture and the Early Quakers Kate Peters Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521770904 - Print Culture and the Early Quakers Kate Peters Frontmatter More information Print Culture and the Early Quakers The early Quaker movement was remarkable for its prolific use of the printing press. Carefully orchestrated by a handful of men and women who were the movement’s lead- ers,printed tracts were an integral feature of the rapid spread of Quaker ideas in the 1650s. Drawing on very rich documentary evidence,this book examines how and why Quakers were able to make such effective use of print. As a crucial element in an extensive proselytising campaign which also used public preaching,confrontation,silence and sym- bolic performance,printed tracts enabled the emergence of the Quaker movement as a uniform,national phenomenon. The book explores the impressive organisation underpin- ning Quaker pamphleteering and argues that the early movement should not be dismissed as a disillusioned spiritual remnant of the English revolution,but was rather a purposeful campaign which sought,and achieved,effective dialogue with both the body politic and society at large. The Quakers’ vibrant use of the press sheds light not only on the signif- icance of print in early modern society,but also on our understanding of political and religious participation in the 1650s. kate peters is Lecturer in Archives and Records Management,University College London. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521770904 - Print Culture and the Early Quakers Kate Peters Frontmatter More information Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History Series editors anthony fletcher Emeritus Professor of English Social History, University of London john guy Visiting Fellow, Clare College, Cambridge john morrill Professor of British and Irish History, University of Cambridge, and Vice-Master of Selwyn College This is a series of monographs and studies covering many aspects of the history of the British Isles between the late fifteenth century and the early eighteenth century.

For more information, please email John Phan at [email protected] . BUDDHIST LITERACY IN EARLY MODERN NORTHERN VIETNAM Presented by Rutgers: The State University of New Jersey & The Vietnamese Nôm Preservation Foundation 22 September – 24 September, 2016 * * * * Recent work from a number of quarters has scrutinized the notion of “East Asia,” as a cosmopolitan zone unified by shared script, literary language, and educational traditions. Vietnam’s inclusion in modern mappings of “Southeast Asia” has often obscured its critical membership in an East Asian cultural zone, a fact that has limited potentially fruitful comparative work with Korea, China, and Japan. One of the most important features of East Asian cultural construction was the role of Buddhism in the dissemination of script, cosmopolitan language, and literate knowledge—a phenomenon particularly important to second millennium Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, each of which suffered crises in literacy at different points, due to invasion or internecine war. While comparison of Buddhist literacy in Korea and Japan has enjoyed a relatively robust tradition (especially with recent work on shared glossing techniques such as kunten), comparison with Vietnam has been limited by areal and disciplinary boundaries that are more artifacts of academic history, than substantive contours defining the cultures in question.

    Studia Philologica Valentina Vol. 10, n.s. 7 (2007) 201-239 ISSN: 1135-9560 Trento: encrucijada de reformas Francisco Juan Martínez Rojas Seminario Diocesano de Jaén 1. INTRODUCCIÓN Narraré las causas y los manejos de una convocatoria eclesiástica [el concilio], en el curso de 22 años, para diversos nes y con varios medios por quien fue rechazada y solicitada, por quien fue impedida y diferida, y duran- te otros 18 años, unas veces reunida, otras disuelta, siempre celebrada con diversos nes, y que resultó todo lo contrario a la idea originaria de quien la favoreció y al temor de quien con diligencia la entorpeció: clara prueba de que hay que apoyar los pensamientos en Dios y no arse de la prudencia de los hombres. Este concilio, deseado y procurado por los hombres piadosos para reunir a la Iglesia que empezaba a dividirse, ha sancionado el cisma y obstinado a las partes de manera que ha creado discordias irreconciliables, y mientras ha sido utilizado por los príncipes para la reforma del estado eclesiástico, ha causado la mayor deformación jamás conocida para quien vive el cristianis- mo; y habiendo sido esperado el concilio por los obispos para reconquistar la autoridad episcopal, transferida en gran parte al romano pontí ce, se la ha hecho perder enteramente, reduciéndolos a la mayor esclavitud. En la parte contraria, habiendo sido temido y rechazado por la corte de Roma como e caz medio para moderar su exorbitado poder, que habiendo sido pequeño en su inicio, había alcanzado proporciones desmedidas, ha establecido de tal manera ese poder y lo ha a rmado sobre la parte que le estaba sujeta, como nunca lo fue.1 El concilio de Trento ha puesto en un segundo plano al resto de los con- cilios por su duración, y más aún, por su tempestuosa actividad multiforme, por la profundidad y pureza de sus decisiones doctrinales, por la sabiduría de sus decisiones doctrinales y canónicas, por el número y calidad de los especialistas que intervinieron, y nalmente, por su e cacia (S.
