From this first fruitful meeting with the scholars convened in Berlin, the project developed much more fully, giving life to a con­ tribution to the studies of Petrarch and Boccaccio which, with due regard to its diverse critical voices, can be considered organic. Here I would like to thank: the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for the generous financial support provided for the conference; the Dahlem Humani­ ties Center, in the person of Joachim Küpper, the Italienzentrum der FUB, in the persons of Bernhard Huss and Sabine Greiner, for financial and intellectual support; the Italian ambassador to Berlin, H. E. Elio Menzione, who honored us with his hospitality at the embassy and with his presence at the opening of the conference; Eef Overgaauw, Director of the manuscripts division of the Staats­ bibliothek zu Berlin, and Giuliano Staccioli for organizing the splendid exhibi­ tion of Petrarchan and Boccaccian manuscripts in the Berlin library. I am grateful to Bridget Pupillo, a friend and colleague from the years of my doctorate at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, who translated several of the contributions into English and provided many attentive editorial suggestions. A heartfelt thank you goes to the publisher Walter De Gruyter in the person of Ulrike Krauss, Christine Henschel and Gabrielle Cornefert, for having faith in this publication and for having seen it through all of its many stages with great professionalism and patience; thanks as well to Ottmar Ette for having welcomed it into the series Mimesis. This volume is dedicated to the memory of a great humanist, Ronald Witt, who delivered his final public presentation in Berlin and who left us last March. After our meeting on the occasion of the Berlin conference, he was a great source of inspiration for me, both in my studies and in life itself. I like to recall his emotion at seeing, one last time, the autograph of Petrarch’s De ignorantia preserved at the Staatsbibliothek. It was his own way of saying farewell to that old friend. Igor Candido Introduction The second volume of Ernst Cassirer’s Das Erkenntnisproblem in der Philosophie und Wissenschaft der neuren Zeit (1922) opens with an analysis of the Cartesian problem of the unity of knowledge. For the French philosopher, all the sciences together constitute a single system of human knowledge which does not change, however diverse might be the specific subjects to which it is applied. The argu- ment completely transforms the relationship between the unity and multiplicity of knowledge. This change occurs primarily with respect to natural philosophy, in relation to which Descartes affirms that it would be folly to speculate on the mysteries of nature and on the influence of the celestial spheres over the ter- restrial world, on the virtues of the plants, on the movement of the stars and the transformation of metals, without ever having reflected deeply on the correct use of the mind and on the universal concept of knowledge itself: indeed, all other matters are to be considered not in and of themselves, but for that express purpose (Regulae I and VIII).1 In very similar terms, approximately three hundred years prior, Petrarch directed his satire against four Averroist doctors and their natural philosophy in the De ipsius et multorum ignorantia: “What use is it, I ask, to know the nature of beasts and birds and fish and snakes, and to ignore or neglect our human nature, the purpose of our birth, or whence we come whither we are bound?”2 The conceptual affinity is surprising, just as it is fascinating to imagine Descartes as reader not only of Cicero and Augustine but also of the famous Petrarchan invective. In any case, the possible connection certainly did not escape Cassirer, editor along with Paul O. Kristeller and John H. Randall, Jr. of the famous volume The Renaissance Philosophy of Man (1948), in which he records the De ignorantia among the fundamental philosophical texts of the new era.3 But even more important than the individual passage in itself is the fact of its insertion into a cohesive corpus of texts which reveal the striking moder- nity of Petrarch’s thought. According to a great historian of Humanism, Hans Baron, Petrarch was a sort of Moses figure straddling the Middle Ages and the 1 See Ernst Cassirer: Das Erkenntnisproblem in der Philosophie und Wissenschaft der neuren Zeit.

The same argument must be made today for Giovanni Boccaccio, though an important and primarily Italian critical tradition has viewed Boccaccio

  • In Versions of Saint Brendan's Travels
    PARADISE (?) IN VERSIONS OF SAINT BRENDAN’S TRAVELS Leif Søndergaard Syddansk Universitet Abstract Travel accounts were the most popular genre during the Middle Ages. Travelling went in all directions but preferably to the East, where Paradise was believed to be located. Paradise was hidden behind an ocean, a wall of fire or insurmountable mountains and thus inacces- sible. Saint Brendan’s voyage went west and the vast majority of scholars have claimed that Saint Brendan arrived in Paradise even if the various texts lack evidence for it, and in several ways. I characterize this apparent Paradise in the Navigatio version as a “fake Paradise,” because it is located to the west in contrast to the long tradition of Paradise descriptions and the mappae mundi where Paradise is always situated to the east. I call the Promised Land in the vernacular Voyage version a “pseudo-Paradise” despite the Christian elements, primarily because of its location and because Saint Brendan claims that he had been there. Key words: Travel account, Saint Brendan, Paradise, Promised Land, Garden of Eden, Mappa mundi, Land of Cockaigne. Resumen Los relatos de viajes fueron el género más popular durante la Edad Media. El viajero partía 13 en todas direcciones, pero preferiblemente hacia el este, donde se creía que se localizaba el Paraíso. Éste se escondía tras un océano, una muralla de fuego o montañas inaccesibles, por lo que era inalcanzable. El viaje de San Brendano se dirigió hacia el oeste, y una amplia mayoría de especialistas ha destacado, aun sin textos que lo evidencien, que el santo llegó al Paraíso.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.
