BENECKE S§ FERRERS HOWELL MDCCCCVI PUBL15H6D- BY-^M D6NT- •AMP-CO : ALDlNe-HOUSe-LOMDON-W-O PRELIMINARY NOTE vii PRELIMINARY NOTE Though Dino Compagni calls his work a Chronicle, it is not (like Giovanni Villani's, for example) a Chronicle in the sense in which the term is now used to express a particular kind of narration dis- " tinguished from a history ; the terms " chronicle and "history" being in Dino's time interchange- able. Dino's book is in form the history of a particular fact, namely, the division of the Guelf party in Florence into the White and the Black Guelfs, with its attendant circumstances, its causes, and its results : but under this form is unfolded at the same time the history of the steps by which the wealthy traders of Florence (jfropolani, popolani grassi, and collectively popolo grasso) organised in the greater guilds (see Appendix II.) acquired and retained the control of the machinery of govern- ment in the city and its outlying territory (contado), excluding (practically) from all participation therein on the one hand the Magnates (i.e.

Culture and nature combine in a single setting, among vineyards and olive groves, typical products and flavours. 3 PONTASSIEVE PONTASSIEVE SOME HISTORY BITES Many archaeological finds are evidence that Pontassieve was dominated by the Etruscans, first, and the Romans afterwards. It was only in the Middle Ages that the old town grew in importance and value. Situated at the confluence of the riv- ers Sieve and Arno, Pontassieve was an area of particular interest to the Florentines who wanted to take full possession of this important river system. In 1357, the Floren- tines built a majestic castle here, named Castel Sant’Angelo, soon surrounded by many houses; the old borough was pro- tected by high sheltering walls.

  • Ganz Notes Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)
    GANZ NOTES DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265-1321) Version: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 October 2020 EPHESIANS 2:1-10 I couldn’t help but imagine that this particular text may have been a favorite of Dante, one upon which he reflected for many years. Ephesians 2 (REB) - YOU ONCE were dead because of your sins and wickedness; 2 you followed the ways of this present world order, obeying the commander of the spiritual powers of the air, the spirit now at work among God’s rebel subjects. 3 We too were once of their number: we were ruled by our physical desires, and did what instinct and evil imagination suggested. In our natural condition we lay under the condemnation of God like the rest of mankind. 4 But God is rich in mercy, and because of his great love for us, 5 he brought us to life with Christ when we were dead because of our sins; it is by grace you are saved. 6 And he raised us up in union with Christ Jesus and enthroned us with him in the heavenly realms, 7 so that he might display in the ages to come how immense are the resources of his grace, and how great his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you are saved through faith; it is not your own doing. It is God’s gift, 9 not a reward for work done. There is nothing for anyone to boast of; 10 we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the life of good deeds which God designed for us.1 He Tore Down the Wall (Eugene Peterson) Ephesians 2: 1–6 It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin.

    PRESENTATION BY CESARE CALENO, SEAT EDITOR IN CHIEF ANTONIO MEUCCI - THE INVENTOR AND HIS TIME. THIS EXTENSIVE WORK ALLOWS TO PARTICIPATE DIRECTLY IN THE EVENTS OF AN EPOCH RICH IN THE FERMENT WHICH WAS STIRRED UP BY THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND UNFOLDED DURING THE ITALIAN RISORGIMENTO, BUT IN A MUCH WIDER HORIZON WHICH INCLUDES CENTRAL AND NORTH AMERICA. BASILIO CATANIA SYSTEMATICALLY RECONSTRUCTS THE HISTORICAL, GEOGRAPHICAL, AND CULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE TRACKS OF ANTONIO MEUCCI IN THE COURSE OF ALMOST A CENTURY: THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. A QUARTER OF A CENTURY IN ITALY, IN THE FLORENCE OF THE GRAND DUKE, HIGHLY LIBERAL BUT ALSO DETERMINED TO QUELL THE YOUTHFUL INTEMPERANCES OF THE IMPETUOUS REVENUE- OFFICER. ALMOST TWO DECADES IN THE EXCITEMENT OF CUBAN LIFE, WHERE HIS JOB AS THEATER MECHANIC AT THE OPERA HOUSE OF HAVANA INTERTWINED WITH THE RESULTS OF A LIFE FULL OF CURIOSITY AND RESEARCH WHICH RANGES IN VARIOUS FIELDS, WITH A COMMON DENOMINATOR CONNECTED TO THE STUDIES ON ELECTRICITY AND ITS APPLICATIONS: FROM ELECTRODEPOSITION TO ELECTRIC SHOCK THERAPY, WHICH ALLOW HIM TO BE THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO ENVISAGE THE POSSIBILITY OF TRANSMITTING THE HUMAN VOICE AT A DISTANCE. BUT THE CUBAN PERIOD SEES MEUCCI AS A FORTUNATE ENTREPRENEUR ENGAGED IN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES: FROM THEATER MECHANICS TO GILDING THE HILTS OF THE GUARDS, TO WATER PURIFICATION AND SOFTENING AND EVEN TO TAXIDERMY. THE FORTY YEARS OF LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE THE LIVING WITNESS OF THE DIFFICULTIES WHICH ANY IMMIGRANT WOULD CONFRONT IN THE NEW COUNTRY, FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES BUT EVER SO DIFFICULT. THIS IS WHERE MEUCCI MET HIS MISADVENTURES, FROM THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE WITH A CANDLE FACTORY TO THE MANY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ON ACCOUNT OF WHICH HE EVENTUALLY LOST ALL ADVANTAGES FROM HIS INVENTION.

  • Expressions of Female Authority and Influence in Medieval Florence
    THESIS FROM NOBILISSIMA DUX TO BEATA: EXPRESSIONS OF FEMALE AUTHORITY AND INFLUENCE IN MEDIEVAL FLORENCE Submitted by Barbara S. Smith Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2013 Master’s Committee: Advisor: James E. Lindsay John Didier Patricia Coronel Copyright by Barbara Susanne Smith 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM NOBILISSIMA DUX TO BEATA: EXPRESSIONS OF FEMALE AUTHORITY AND INFLUENCE IN MEDIEVAL FLORENCE This thesis argues that by examining four influential women of Florence and northern Italy over some five centuries’ time (circa 1060-1471A.D.) historians can view change over time related to female authority and how it reflects larger social norms that became increasingly entrenched over time. These women inform our understanding of the role and status of women in medieval Florence through their exceptionality. By considering such a large expanse of time these women’s lives can be compared to one another, as well as to their contemporaries. Chapter 1 introduces the topic and discusses general themes that are occurring contemporaneously across Europe that serve to inform and provide context for the laws and social norms that are occurring in Florence. Chapter 2 focuses more directly on each woman and her familial and social circumstances in which she uses and exercises her authority. Chapter 3 builds on the base of Chapter 2 and makes arguments regarding the extent to which each woman wielded her authority and the ways in which that authority was exercised. Chapter 4 provides a brief conclusion in relation to each woman and how the four, together, help to inform historians’ knowledge about the ways in which patriarchal power structures, including patrilineage, worked to increasingly exclude women from positions of authority.

  • The Two First Centuries of Florentine History
    The Two First Centuries Of Florentine History By Pasquale Villari The Two First Centuries Of Florentine History INTRODUCTION. I. THE history of Italian freedom, from the Middle Ages to the new series of foreign invasions, dating from the descent of Charles VIII. in 1494, mainly consists of the history of our communes. But this history is as yet unwritten, and, worse still, can never be written until the material required for the task shall have been brought to light, sifted, and illustrated. What were the most ancient political statutes, what those of the guilds of art and commerce, what the penal and civil laws, the individual conditions, revenue, expenditure, trade, and industry of those republics? To all these questions we can give but imperfect replies at the best, and some are left altogether unsolved. Yet until all are decided the civil history of our communes remains involved in obscurity. Through Machiavelli and Giannone Italy gave the world the first essays in constitutional history, and by Muratori's gigantic labours inaugurated the great school of learning that is the only settled basis of modern and, more especially, of constitutional history. But we soon allowed the sceptre we had won to be snatched from our grasp. It is true that we have never experienced any dearth of great scholars or historians, but the complete national history of a people is a task exceeding the powers of one or of several individuals. Such history must be produced, as it were, by the nation itself. Only the combined efforts of many scholars and of many generations can succeed in co-ordinating and investigating the vast mass of material that has to be ransacked in order to trace through the vicissitudes of numerous municipalities, all differing from, and at war with one another, the history of the Italian people.

Figliulo and Steven J. Rosswurm iv Acknowledgments Italian communal officials spent a lot of time drawing up lists. and I am painfully aware of their invidious nature of lists, excluding as much as they include, and must beg pardon from anyone unintentionally excluded from my list of acknowledgments as I thank the many people and institutions that have made this project possible.
