  • Reformation 2017 Johannes Gutenberg Handout
    FACES OF THE REFORMATION Gutenberg’s invention helped Johannes Gutenberg spread the ideas of the Reformation Born: 1395? | Mainz, Germany to the masses Died: 1468 | Mainz, Germany Could Johannes Gutenberg have known when he first conceived the idea of moveable type that it would contribute to the spread of the Reformation and the Renaissance and lead to the education of all levels of society? One might question his presence in the “Faces of the Reformation” series. But considering that his presses printed not only Luther’s 95 Theses but also the papal indulgences that sparked Luther’s polemic pen, it seems fitting that he should be included. Gutenberg was born about 1395 as the son of a metalsmith, and he became acquainted with the printing business at a very young age. His invention of the moveable type press made the mass production of books a reality that would change the world. By 1450, his new invention was operating. As with most new ideas of this scale, the road was not smooth. In 1446, Johann Fust, Gutenburg’s financial backer, won a lawsuit against him regarding repayment of the funds. Gutenberg’s employee and son-in-law, Peter SchÖffer, testified against him. Before this lawsuit was finalized, Gutenberg had printed a Latin Bible that contained 42 lines of Scripture per page. This “42-line Bible” is known as the Gutenberg Bible. The press for the Bible, Gutenberg’s masterpiece, along with a second book containing only Psalms, was lost to Fust in the court case. The Psalter was published after the court case with no mention of Gutenberg; only Fust’s and SchÖffer’s names appear as the printers.

  • Ibi Et Cor Tuum: the Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture
    Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture By Gertrude Obi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Joanna Picciotto, Chair Professor James Grantham Turner Professor Timothy Hampton Spring 2016 1 Abstract Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture by Gertrude Obi Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Joanna Picciotto, Chair My dissertation, “Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture,” investigates the ways in which the temptations posed by intellectual labor were conceptualized and navigated by English Renaissance humanists. The competition pitting the vita activa against the vita contemplativa, which every age—including ours—must resolve anew, generated a spate of writings engaging with the mixed legacy of classical and medieval Christian attitudes towards the cultivation of knowledge for its own sake. My first chapter traces the discourse of intellectual labor as leisure from the Aristotelian concept of schole through its transformations in the writings of Cicero, Seneca, Petrarch, and Erasmus. I discuss humanists’ attempts to draw upon traditions of monastic exemption and classical political exemption in order to add cachet and legibility to their “uselessness.” In doing so, I address the difficulties, both ideological and logistical, of integrating intellectual labor into an economic system. Chapter 2 explores the creation of an intellectual realm defined against both the (masculinized) public sphere and the (feminized) domestic sphere in More’s Utopia.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

  • American Fausts
    Iulian BOLDEA, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors), DEBATING GLOBALIZATION. Identity, Nation and Dialogue AMERICAN FAUSTS Dragoș Avădanei Assoc. Prof., PhD, ”Al. Ioan Cuza” University of Iași Abstract:With one devil that is dark, ugly and frightening and another devil that is a soft-spoken stranger in a handsome buggy, and from one ŖFaustŗ that is a horrible wretched man to another one who is a decent but unlucky fellow, the Americans (i.e. Washington IrvingŕŖThe Devil and Tom Walkerŗ and Stephen Vincent BenetŕŖThe Devil and Daniel Websterŗ) projected the old German legend onto the new capitalistic patterns of the New World. The famous contract no longer includes provisions regarding unlimited knowledge, but stipulates only the possibility of accumulating wealth rapidly and also allows using the devil for the new Faustsř evil purposes (like getting rid of a termagant wife or even having the devil himself punished by jury trial in the end). Keywords: Faust, Kidd, Irving, Benet, devil, contract, trial If two stories are titled ŖThe Devil and Tom Walkerŗ and ŖThe Devil and Daniel Websterŗ (written more than a century apart, i.e. 1824 and 1936) they are bound to be not only similar, but also closely connected in their Ŗdeep structureŗ as it were. So, before we notice the differencesŕwhich are not few and also highly significantŕlet us highlight the similarities, which are first given by their common source/s and then by the fact that they are susteined by certain historical(-legendary) antecedents. Before even reading them one can conveniently guess that the legend of Faustŕand the various other Fausts derived from itŕis their common inspiration.

  • Printers: New Cultural Actors in Europe Beginning in the Late fifteenth Century
    Humanists and Europe Printers: new cultural actors in Europe beginning in the late fifteenth century Catherine KIKUCHI ABSTRACT Printing was born in Germany with the production of the Gutenberg Bible, although printers set up shop across all of Europe beginning in the first decades of the century. They specialized, organized, and collaborated with merchants and bookshops. This new industry was particularly concentrated in merchant cities and university towns. Their editorial strategies sought to reach an increasingly broader audience which was not limited to persons of letters, although important printers worked with the Humanists for the diffusion of high quality revised editions. Their collaboration involved ancient texts, such as the Greek editions of Aldus Manutius, as well as religious texts, the Bible in particular. Printing was thus a driver of religious and intellectual renewal, but was also suspected of conveying harmful and heretical ideas; with the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, printers were increasingly controlled by political and religious authorities, a control that some of them were able to circumvent. The invention and diffusion of printing The birth of printing in Europe is dated as 1452, when Johann Gutenberg produced the 42-line Bible in Mainz with the help of Peter Schöffer and funding from Johann Fust. This invention takes its place in the long-term history of technology, stretching from Chinese and Korean printing methods to engraved Bibles for the poor in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The true change with Gutenberg was not so much the press itself, but the use of movable type. Furthermore, the success of printing was also due to its connection with important merchants who invested in this new art, such as Johann Fust.

  • Doctor Faustus: Death of a Bibliophile
    <http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:21-opus-49392> Connotations Vo!. 1.1 (1991) Doctor Faustus: Death of a Bibliophile PAUL BUDRA Immediately after signing the contract pledging his body and soul to the devil, Dr. Faustus asks Mephostophilis, "where is the place that men call Hell?" (2.1.505)1 Mephostophilis truthfully answers Faustus' inquiry, ''Hell hath no limits" (2.1.510), but Faustus rejects this as "trifles, and meere old wives Tales" (2.1.524). Failing to recognize true information, Faustus requests sensual gratification in the form of a wife. The devil can only provide a woman devil (he cannot deal in the Christian sacrament of marriage) and Faustus is again unsatisfied. Critics of Doctor Faustus have been quick to underline the point: Faustus receives very little in exchange for his soul. But few critics have noted the way in which the demon assuages Faustus' disappointment; he does it with a gift: a book which will allow the doctor to control the weather and call up armoured guards. Faustus promises to keep the tome "as chary as my life" (2.1.551), but he is not entirely satisfied; he wants another book: "Yet faine would I have a booke wherein I might beholde al spels and incantations, that I might raise up spirits when I please" (2.1.551.01- 02). Mephostophilis replies that this information is also in the book he holds in his hand, and the devil turns to the appropriate page. Frustrated, Faustus asks for yet another book that will show "al characters of planets of the heavens" (2.1.551.04-05).

  • El Libro Amenazado. De Fust a Faust
    EL LIBRO AMENAZADO. DE FUST A FAUST Manuel Álvarez Junco Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Resumen La invención de la imprenta está unida a la historia de Johann Fust, socio de Gutenberg, acusado de brujería al descubrirse su poder de multiplicar biblias por un medio hasta entonces impensable. La relación del nombre Fust con Faust parece ser el origen del mito que hará famoso Goethe. Aquí se realiza una reflexión, a partir de este suceso, sobre la suspicaz recepción que una civilización suele realizar con los ingenios nuevos; cómo se puede percibir cualquier creación inusitada, cómo se rechaza o cómo se acepta. Se aborda concretamente la analogía de los problemas de integración de la imprenta en el siglo XV con la recepción hoy de las nuevas tecnologías en nuestra sociedad. En particular, la amenaza que siente el mundo del libro en sus esencias a causa de la electrónica. Abstract The invention of the printing press is linked to the history of Gutenberg partner, Johann Fust, accused of witchcraft when he was considered to be capable to multiply Bibles by unknown means. Fust relationship with Faust name could be the origin of the myth that Goethe made famous. From this event, a reflection is made on the suspicious reception that a society often does with new inventions; how any unusual creation is accepted or rejected. This paper addresses the analogy of integration problems of printing press in the fifteen century with the ones we have today with new technologies getting in our daylife. Particularly the threat felt by the book world in its essences and foundation because of electronics.

  • Agostino Carracci's Bacchus with Goat in the Louvre
    A Playful Invention: Agostino Carracci’s Bacchus with Goat in the Louvre Cyril Gerbrony AN INTRIGUING DRAWING PRESERVED in the Cabinet des arts graphiques of the Louvre Museum, executed in pen and ink, represents Bacchus holding a wine cup and accompanied by a goat (fig. 1). The drawing presents two lacunae, which appear to be the result of ink corrosion: one at the level of the god’s genitalia, and a less important one in the goat’s left leg. An etching by Count de Caylus (fig. 2) provides evidence not only that the drawing was of interest to this French antiquarian but, more critically, that it was in Paris by the first half of the eighteenth century and can be dated before 1728.1 As indicated by an inscription at the bottom left of the etching, Caylus attributes the drawing to Annibale Carracci. To date, this drawing has been studied only by Catherine Loisel, who alludes to it in a brief notice in her major inventory of drawings by Ludovico, Agostino, and Annibale Carracci Translated by Maude Vanhaelen and revised by Mary Vaccaro and Maude Vanhaelen, in memory of our dear friend.
