The Reverend William Bentley was a noted bibliophile, scholar, historian, and linguist. He was the minister of the East Church (Unitarian) in Salem, Massachusetts, from 1783 to his death in 1819. In his remarkable diaries, the manuscripts of which are preserved at the American Antiquarian Society, Bentley recorded local and national events, shipping news, church business, scientific theories, and town gossip.1 He can be considered Salem’s first archivist, recording scraps of genealogical information and town history in his diary. He also commissioned several portraits of prominent New England leaders, most of which were copied after well-known canvases, and placed these replicas in his ‘cabinet.’ Bentley graduated from Harvard College in 1777 and, with a talent for languages, tutored Greek and Latin there while looking for a church position. After moving to Salem, Bentley began to contribute political and social commentary to the Salem Register.

  • American Voices
    American Voices. Remarks on the Earlier History of Art History in the United States and the Reception of Germanic Art Historians1 Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann A wave of studies in the historiography of art history has recently swept over both sides of the Atlantic, bringing with it a vogue for scholarship on German art historians who were active in America.2 Much information has been accumulated as a result. 1.This paper was originally published in Ars, 42:1, 2009, 128-52. As stated in the first note to the original publication, it draws upon two lectures. The first was given as ‘The American Voice. Deutsche Kunsthistoriker im Exil in den Vereinigten Staaten’, given at the meeting of Deutscher Kunsthistorikerverband, Hamburg, Germany, 23 March 2001, and then in English as ‘German Art Historians in the United States and Paul Frankl’, Moravská Galerie, Brno, Czech Republic, 26 June 2001, and as ‘German Art Historians in the United States’, Speed Museum of Art, Louisville, Kentucky, 27 September 2001. This lecture has been published in slightly different form as ‘The American Voice. German Historians of Art and Architecture in Exile in the United States’, in Heaven and Earth.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily d vendant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4 . The m ajority o f users indicate th at the textual content is o f greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    3 ‘More for beauty than for rarity’: the key role of the Italian antiquarian market in the inception of American Classical art collections during the late-nineteenth century Francesca de Tomasi Introduction It is very surprising that there has been a buyer of such vases unless we assume that they were destined for some American museum; since everybody knows that the Americans, without any particular knowledge of art history and without leaving their country of origin, buy art on commission. They trust the archaeological knowledge of the people they appoint for the purchases. If this attitude were true it should be deplored. That is, those who should be in charge of the study and the conservation of the national cultural heritage procure its export abroad instead. Neither is it commendable to sell foreigners (even if Americans) mediocre objects as if they were works of art or monuments with a true value or archaeological interest (Chigi to Fiorelli, December, 1889).1 Although this excerpt is not from an official document but from a private letter addressed to the head of the Directorate General of Antiquities and Fine Arts by an employee of the office, the quotation above makes it clear that the idea that Americans were not able to understand and evaluate Classical art was taken for granted in late-nineteenth-century Italy and even pervaded state institutions. The statement shows how both the artistic taste and the connoisseurship of the American collectors were underestimated by Roman scholars when the collectors were first encountered at the end of the nineteenth century.

Hess © 2011 Gerald A. Hess Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2011 The dissertation of Gerald A. Hess was reviewed and approved* by the following: Elizabeth Walters Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Associate Professor of Art History Brian Curran Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head, Department of Art History Donald Redford Professor of Classics and Mediterranean Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of the impact of eastern traditions, culture, and individuals on the Hadrianic tondi. The tondi were originally commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in the second century for an unknown monument and then later reused by Constantine for his fourth century arch in Rome. Many scholars have investigated the tondi, which among the eight roundels depict scenes of hunting and sacrifice. However, previous Hadrianic scholarship has been limited to addressing the tondi in a general way without fully considering their patron‘s personal history and deep seated motivations for wanting a monument with form and content akin to the prerogatives of eastern rulers and oriental princes. In this dissertation, I have studied Hadrian as an individual imbued with wisdom about the cultural and ruling traditions of both Rome and the many nations that made up the vast Roman realm of the second century.

  • Rodolfo Lanciani's Dismissal
    Dixon, S M 2016 Rodolfo Lanciani’s Dismissal. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, Bofulletin 26(1): 8, pp. 1–10, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bha-592 the History of Archaeology RESEARCH PAPER Rodolfo Lanciani’s Dismissal Susan M. Dixon This essay deals with an episode in the career of classical archaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani (1845–1929), director of excavations of the Roman Forum from c. 1877 to 1886. Despite his success as a scholar and excavator, the Italian government dismissed him from the archaeological service for improprieties in 1890. The major charges against Lanciani reveal the tensions between the city of Rome and the Italian state on issues related to owning, caring for, and displaying the nation’s antiquities. Significant social, economic, and political changes in the decades after the establishment of the new nation fueled the tensions. During the pinnacle of his career in the mid-1880s, Palombi 2006: 42), and Carlo Ludovico Visconti (1828–1894), Rodolfo Lanciani (1845–1929) made significant from a long line of papal commissioners of antiquities discoveries in the Roman Forum and beyond. As the state- (Palombi 2006: 45–46; Lanciani 1894b; Ridley 1992: appointed director of excavations in Rome, he had led the 142–150).

    ROME’S ROLE IN IMPERIAL PROPAGANDA AND POLICY, 293-324 CE ROMA, AUCTRIX IMPERII? ROME’S ROLE IN IMPERIAL PROPAGANDA AND POLICY FROM 293 CE UNTIL 324 CE By JOHN M. FABIANO, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by John Fabiano, September 2013 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2013) Hamilton, Ontario (Classics) TITLE: Roma, Auctrix Imperii? Rome’s Role in Imperial Propaganda and Policy from 293 CE until 324 CE AUTHOR: John Fabiano, B.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor M. Beckmann NUMBER OF PAGES: xiii, 198 i Abstract By the early fourth century Rome was more than a thousand years old and the historical caput mundi was, accordingly, steeped in long established traditions. It was these historical traditions and memories that served as paradigms for understanding present circumstances. One such paradigm was the relationship between Rome and her emperors. Traditionally, monarchical power was the antithesis of the Roman Republican model, yet Augustus uniquely altered this model and established a new acceptable paradigm wherein the emperor was the princeps civitatis and the patron to all Romans. This imperial patronage was characterized primarily by the commissioning of public buildings in the Urbs and the maintenance of Rome’s cults and traditions. Therefore, Rome was inextricably intertwined with the legitimacy, success (or failure), and longevity of an emperor’s reign. Throughout the third century, however, Rome was plagued by manifold crises and the paradigmatic relationship between Rome and her rulers began to break down, such that some scholars have suggested that from 293 CE and the establishment of the tetrarchy Rome became increasingly manifest wherever the emperors were, with the city itself becoming nothing more than a peripheral concern.
