Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date March 21, 1968 - ABSTRACT - The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the principal challenges to royal authority and the means by which royal authority was maintained in France during the first War of Religion (1561-1563). The latter half of the sixteenth century was a critical period for the French monarchy. Great noble families attempted to re-establish their feudal power at the expense of the crown. Francis II and Charles IX, kings who were merely boys, succeeded strong monarchs on the throne. The kingdom was im• poverished by foreign wars and overrun by veteran soldiers, ill- absorbed into civil life.

THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR IN NEW SPAIN: A PROBLEM IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY CHRONOLOGY HARRY KELSEY AFTER AYEAR-LONG JOURNEY TO NEW MEXICO, Antonio de Espejo arrived in Santa Barbara, Nueva Vizcaya, in the fall of 1583, weary, confused, but full of information about the new country he had seen. Almost immediately he began to compose a report, signing and dating it "at the end of the month of October" 1583. 1 This dating may seem imprecise for a formal report, and the truth is that Espejo did not know how to write the date. He seemed sure about the date of his return, 20 September, and he knew that he had been back for twenty-fivedays, more or less. He recorded all this very carefully in a covering letter. But Espejo was confused about the date. He could do no better in his calculations than to call it "the end of October."2 The reason for his confusion is simple.

Taylor Professor Ignacio Navarrete Fall 2013 Abstract The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain by Michael Andrew Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Previous studies on politics and history writing in early modern Europe have focused on how early modern monarchs commissioned official royal histories that served to glorify the crown and its achievements. These works discuss the careers of royal historians and their importance at court, and examine how the early modern crown controlled history writing. In the case of Spain, scholars have argued that Spanish monarchs, particularly Philip II, strictly controlled the production of history writing by censoring texts, destroying and seizing manuscripts, and at times restricting history writing to authorized historians. Modern scholars have largely avoided analyzing the historical studies themselves, and have ignored histories written by non-royal historians. My dissertation broadens the discussion by examining a variety of histories written by royal historians and authors from outside of the court, including clerics, bureaucrats, and military officers, motivated to write histories by their concern over Spain’s recent imperial policies and campaigns.

  • Utiles Et Necessarias: Early Modern Science and the Society of Jesus
    Utiles et Necessarias: Early Modern Science and the Society of Jesus Sister Mary Sarah Galbraith, O.P. A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Unit of History and Philosophy of Science, Faculty of Science University of Sydney March 2021 Utiles et Necessarias 2 Utiles et Necessarias 3 Utiles et Necessarias: Early Modern Science and the Society of Jesus Sister Mary Sarah Galbraith, O.P. This thesis treats of the contributions made by the Society of Jesus to Early Modern science, amidst the complexities of the post Reformation, post Copernican era. Its focus is the life and work of the Jesuit Christopher Clavius (1538-1612), the architect and founder of a mathematics academy at the Collegio Romano. Using extant correspondence, pamphlet, prefatory dedications and commentaries, I show that Clavius created a strategy to recruit and train Jesuit priests in mathematics to be exported throughout Europe and to remote missionary outposts. As a specially trained corps of priest mathematicians, the Jesuits used the truths of mathematics and the mathematical sciences to draw potential converts to the truths of faith and religious conversion. The approach was initially successful. As the scientific and religious culture shifted in the sixteenth century, however, reliance upon traditional sources of authority, knowledge and belief came under scrutiny. As priests and mathematicians who were invested in both sacred and secular realms, members of the Society struggled to adhere to the tenets of traditional natural philosophy and to promote the new sciences, for the purposes of religious conversion. The approach that substituted the truths of mathematics for the truths of dogmatic faith was intended to engender confidence.

  • Satire and the Corpus Mysticum During Crises of Fragmentation
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Body Satyrical: Satire and the Corpus Mysticum during Crises of Fragmentation in Late Medieval and Early Modern France A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies by Christopher Martin Flood 2013 © Copyright by Christopher Martin Flood 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Body Satyrical: Satire and the Corpus Mysticum during Crises of Fragmentation in Medieval and Early Modern France by Christopher Martin Flood Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Jean-Claude Carron, Chair The later Middle Ages and early modern period in France were marked by divisive conflicts (i.e. the Western Schism, the Hundred Years’ War, and the Protestant Reformation) that threatened the stability and unity of two powerful yet seemingly fragile social entities, Christendom and the kingdom of France. The anxiety engendered by these crises was heightened by the implicit violence of a looming fragmentation of those entities that, perceived through the lens of the Pauline corporeal metaphor, were imagined as corpora mystica (mystical bodies). Despite the gravity of these crises of fragmentation, ii each met with a somewhat unexpected and, at times, prolific response in the form of satirical literature. Since that time, these satirical works have been reductively catalogued under the unwieldy genre of traditional satire and read superficially as mere vituperation or ridiculing didacticism. However, when studied against the background of sixteenth- century theories of satire and the corporeal metaphor, a previously unnoticed element of these works emerges that sets them apart from traditional satire and provides an original insight into the culture of the time.

The curious case of the Milankovitch calendar Nenad Gajic Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovica´ 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia Correspondence: Nenad Gajic ([email protected]) Received: 20 May 2019 – Revised: 11 August 2019 – Accepted: 23 August 2019 – Published: 26 September 2019 Abstract. The Gregorian calendar, despite being more precise than the Julian (which now lags 13 d behind Earth), will also lag a day behind nature in this millennium. In 1923, Milutin Milankovitch presented a calen- dar of outstanding scientific importance and unprecedented astronomical accuracy, which was accepted at the Ecumenical Congress of Eastern Orthodox churches. However, its adoption is still partial in churches and nonex- istent in civil states, despite nearly a century without a better proposition of calendar reform in terms of both precision and ease of transition, which are important for acceptance. This article reviews the development of calendars throughout history and presents the case of Milankovitch’s, explaining its aims and methodology and why it is sometimes mistakenly identified with the Gregorian because of their long consonance. Religious as- pects are briefly covered, explaining the potential of this calendar to unite secular and religious purposes through improving accuracy in both contexts. 1 Introduction global scientific project called “Climate: Long range Inves- tigation, Mapping, and Prediction” (CLIMAP, 1981), which aimed to reconstruct the worldwide climate history through Milutin Milankovic´ (1879–1958; see Fig.

    Villa Mondragone 19th-20th September. Vortical Structures and Wall Turbulence Paolo Orlandi: a vortical and turbulent life VILLA MONDRAGONE a voyage through the centuries between Science and Art VILLA MONDRAGONE A beautiful Villa, with a park of 18 hectares, owned by the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and now used for Conferences and events. It is located in Monte Porzio Catone, on the hills SE of Rome at about 400m a.s.l. and 20Km from the city centre THE NAME “Mons Draconis” (Mountain of the Dragon) The name refers to the location on the top of the hill (Mons) and to the dragon (Draconis) part of the family crest of the noble family Boncompagni- Ludovisi to which Pope Gregorius XIII belonged (although the Villa never belonged to the Pope) A BIT OF HISTORY Already in the period of the ancient Romans the rich families used to move for the Summer on the hills around Rome (to avoid the humidity and the malaria of the flooded areas downtown). In the II century a.C. two brothers (senators) Sesto Quintilio Condiano and Sesto Quintilio Valerio Massimo built a villa in the same position and of the same size as Villa Mondragone (although with a different orientation) (The two senators were killed in 182 a.C. after an accuse of conspiracy against the Emperor Commodo) During the decline of the Roman Empire the villa was abandoned and only ruins were left in the 16th century A BIT OF HISTORY … in the XVI century the noble families continued the tradition of leaving Rome for the Summer The family Farnese had built “Villa Angelina”.

DE ACH~~TEGUI,S.J. THE PROBLEM Pope Gregory XI11 (1502-1585) created the diocese of Manila as suffragan of the metropolitan archdiocese of Mexico with his bull "Ilhus fulti praesidio." The Latin bull carries the date "anno Incarnationis Dominicae millesimo quingentesimo septuagesimo octavo, octavo Idus Februarii, Pontificatus nostri anno septimo." Translated in today's chronological language, it means "the 6 of February 1578, the seventh year of our Pontificate."' The Manila Archdiocese is celebrating this year, 1979, the four hundredth anniversary of its establishment as a diocese. Would it not be an irony of history to celebrate the quadricentennial in 1979, if the diocese had been created in 1578? Is 1578 the exact year? If only for the sake of historical accuracy, it is important to clarify the issue once and for all.
