  • Dietrich Von Bern and “Historical” Narrative in the German Middle Ages
    1 Dietrich von Bern and “Historical” Narrative in the German Middle Ages: An Investigation of Strategies for Establishing Credibility in Four Poems of the Middle High German Dietrichepik by Jonathan Martin Senior Honors Thesis Submitted for German and MEMS, March 26th, 2010 Advised by Professor Helmut Puff © Jonathan Seelye Martin 2010 2 Acknowledgements My special thanks are owed to Dr. Helmut Puff, who has made his advice, time, and considerable knowledge available to me throughout the process of writing this thesis. He has steered me away from many misconceptions and improved my writing for clarity and style. It is very much thanks to him that this thesis appears in the form that it currently does. I also must thank him for repeatedly reminding me that one is never fully satisfied with an end product: there is always something left to improve or expand upon, and this is especially true of an overly ambitious project like mine. In a large part due to his wonderful help, I hope to continue working on and improving my knowledge of this topic, which at first I despised but have come to love, in the future. My thanks also go out to Drs. Peggy McCracken, Kerstin Barndt, George Hoffmann, and Patricia Simons, who have at various times read and commented on drafts of my work and helped guide me through the process of writing and researching this thesis. My other professors and instructors, both here and at Freiburg, have also been inspirations for me, and I must especially thank Maria “Frau” Caswell for teaching me German, Dr.

    The Story of Rome Digna locus Roma est quo Deus omnis eat. Ovid. Ail rights reserved .^•-' V '^K*/ 1 fefe^BBQEIMGtBWfflSlIM <;s*///S//> Kac The Story of ROME by Norwood Young Illustrated by Nelly Erich<sen London: / M. I hilt CT Co. Aldine House, 29 and 30 Bedford Street Covent Garden W.C. * * 1901 1) i'v PREFACE THE story of Rome covers an area so vast that it would be pedantic on my part to apologise for the omissions which will be observed on every page of this little book. It is, of necessity, an abridgment of the work of many authors and many volumes. The small space at my disposal has made it impossible to add to the story of Christianity in Rome any adequate consideration of Roman churches, museums and ruins. I have devoted one chapter, the second, to a slight sketch of the remains lying in the neighbourhood of the Colosseum and Forum Romanum, and I have mentioned the more important of the recent sensational discoveries, but it is too early yet to dogmatise as to their exact significance. Ex- cavation is still being keenly pursued, and new finds may at any moment negative the opinions already formed. Such other topographical references as the book contains will be found in the last chapter, and in the Appendix, which has a few practical suggestions as to hotels, etc., an itinerary for the hurried visitor, a short list of books, and a very brief statement of the more interesting objects to be found in some of the most important churches.

  • Ludovico Il Moro, Duke of Milan, and the Sforziada by Giovanni Simonetta in Warsaw, by D. R
    LUDOVICO IL MORO, DUKE OF MILAN, AND THE SFORZIADA BY GIOVANNI SIMONETTA IN WARSAW D. R. Edward Wright I. PURPOSE OF SFORZIAD: SFORZA POLITICAL PROPAGANDA 1 The text of the book from which Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait came is known as the Sforziad or Commentaries on the Deeds of Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan. Its author, Giovanni Simonetta, served as secretary in the ducal chancery (1450 – 79), a position which allowed him access to state papers as a source for his biography. Written in humanist Latin from 1473 to 1476, at a time when Simonetta was trying to bring a Venetian printer to Milan, it “may have been the first work of history written for the press”. 2 In light of the research, done by Gary Ianziti, it appears to have been meant as a further shoring up of the Sforza political position. 3 Given the unwillingness of the Holy Roman Emperor to legitimize his rule by granting a formal imperial investiture with the duchy, Francesco advanced his claim on the basis of his marriage to a Visconti heir, Bianca Maria, his election as duke by the people, and the recognition of his status by other powers. According to Ianziti’s investigations this was not enough. It was deemed necessary to publicize his virtus, his capabilities as a strong military and political leader, to learned diplomats and humanist curial officials. Simonetta dedicated the first printing to Francesco’s grandson, Gian Galeazzo Sforza. Later editions commissioned by Ludovico Sforza had a similar purpose, that is to show Il Moro’s superior capacity for rule according to a “like father, like son” theory of inherited natural abilities first formulated by Aristotle in the Politics (I, vi, 1255 b): “they distinguish…noble and humble birth…they think that as men and animals beget men and animals, so from good men a good man springs.” The idea took root and was developed further in the Middle Ages, and the Italian Renaissance.

  • Palladio and Polybius Histories
    Palladio and Polybius Histories by Guido Beltramini Why was Palladio interested in warfare? He was born in the midst of wars in Padua, which had been lost and won back by the Venetians with a heavy blood toll for the Paduans in the tragic summer of 1509, during the War of the League of Cambrai. The worst conflict in the century, it was to devastate the territory of the Republic as far as the edge of the Venetian lagoon.1 Andrea must have experienced the war from below, among the frightened starving ordinary people described by the Paduan peasant-soldier playwright Ruzante who had come from the war, after having been at the Battle of Agnadello, which had marked the beginning of the Venetian rout.2 In the following years at the dinner table of Trissino and his Humanist soldier friends, Palladio was to see war from other points of view. One of the few documents telling of his private life, however, portrays him in 1551 vainly attempting, together with Giambattista Maganza, to dissuade their friend Marco Thiene from seeking glory on the battlefield, where he was in fact to meet his death: What I do know very well is that one evening, a few days before the said lord Marco went to war, I was with Palladio in the house of the splendid Thienes and in our conversation with lord Marco we came to the subject of his decision to go to the war and Palladio and I tried to persuade him as best we could that he should not go, reminding him that it was most dangerous as regards the fortresses; on account of this lord Marco became angry with us because he said he wished to go and he seemed to be offended by our attempts to dissuade him.

Guizot. This seemed a natural opportunity for mentioning a few standard works on French legislation, civil, political, and ecclesiastical, on literature, etc.
