Acollection of Correspondence © 2012 Capuchin Friars of Australia. All Rights Reserved. A COLLECTION OF CORRESPONDENCE Some Letters … and other things, from Sixteenth Century Italy in their original languages Bernardo, ben potea bastarvi averne Co’l dolce dir, ch’a voi natura infonde, Qui dove ‘l re de’ fiume ha più chiare onde, Acceso i cori a le sante opre eterne; Ché se pur sono in voi pure l’interne Voglie, e la vita al destin corrisponde, Non uom di frale carne e d’ossa immonde, Ma sète un voi de le schiere sperne. Or le finte apparenze, e ‘l ballo, e ‘l suono, Chiesti dal tempo e da l’antica usanza, A che così da voi vietate sono? Non fôra santità,capdox fôra arroganza Tôrre il libero arbitrio, il maggior dono Che Dio ne diè ne la primera stanza.1 Compiled by Paul Hanbridge Fourth edition, formerly “A Sixteenth Century Carteggio” Rome, 2007, 2008, Dec 2009 1 “Bernardo, it should be enough for you / With that sweet speech infused in you by Nature, / To light our hearts to high eternal works, / Here where the King of Rivers flows most clearly. / Since your own inner wishes are sincere, / And your own life reflects a pure intent, / You’re ra- ther an inhabitant of heaven. /As to these masquerades, dances, and music, /Sanctioned by time and by ancient custom - /Why do you now forbid them in your sermons? /Holiness it is not, but arrogance to take away free will, the highest gift/ Which God bestowed on us from the begin- ning.” Tullia d’Aragona (c. 1510-1556) in Women Poets of the Italian Renaissance. Courtly Ladies & Courtesans, edited by Laura Anna Stortoni, translated by Laura Anna Stortoni & Mary Prentice Lillis, Italica Press, New York, 1997, p.86. The king of Rivers is the Po, and the place is Ferrara, where she was at the same time as Vittoria Colonna (p.81). There she repor- tedly ‘befriended’ Girolamo Muzio (1496-1576). capdox A Collection of Correspondence 3 Print date 27/04/2010 The purpose for this compilation has been to gather under one cover relevant documentation already published in many places that are hard to find or hard to reach. I offer this collection as a research tool. This compilation is a revised third edition. Earlier editions were called A Sixteenth Century Italian Carteggio . The focus in the selection process has shifted from the Capuchin reform in general (in the first edition) to Bernardino Ochino and the relationship between the Capuchin Reform and Italian Reform prior to the Council of Trent. The reader will notice that the collection does not contain Bernardino’s works. These are ‘letters’ that may shed some light on the events of the period, rather than a ‘history of ideas’ that often characterises Capuchin historiography. The two-part bibliography that follows here presents the works which contain the documents transcribed here, and other works more readily available with documents not transcribed here. Such compilations can never be complete. There are other, larger collections too regarding the Capuchin Reform during its first century (see Edouard d’Alençon, Callisto Urbanelli, Costanzo Cargnoni and Vincenzo Criscuolo, to mention a few.) The [BCC: numbers ] are the collocation or shelf numbers of titles in the Biblioteca Centrale dei Cappuccini, Rome. Addition material in this recived third edition (22 April 2010) Letters 80 and 87, and Letter 101 in this compilation is published here for the first time under the title. “Lettera di Fra Berardino a P.P. Paolo III”. This is a transcription of VadSlg ms 469 of the KANTONSBIBLIOTHEK , ST. GALLEN . I am grateful to Dr. Gamper of the Vadian fond of the library for his invaluable assistance.

  • A Transcription and Translation of Ms 469 (F.101R – 129R) of the Vadianische Sammlung of the Kantonsbibliothek of St. Gallen
    A SCURRILOUS LETTER TO POPE PAUL III A Transcription and Translation of Ms 469 (f.101r – 129r) of the Vadianische Sammlung of the Kantonsbibliothek of St. Gallen by Paul Hanbridge PRÉCIS A Scurrilous Letter to Pope Paul III. A Transcription and Translation of Ms 469 (f.101r – 129r) of the Vadianische Sammlung of the Kantonsbibliothek of St. Gallen. This study introduces a transcription and English translation of a ‘Letter’ in VS 469. The document is titled: Epistola invectiva Bernhardj Occhinj in qua vita et res gestae Pauli tertij Pont. Max. describuntur . The study notes other versions of the letter located in Florence. It shows that one of these copied the VS469, and that the VS469 is the earliest of the four Mss and was made from an Italian exemplar. An apocryphal document, the ‘Letter’ has been studied briefly by Ochino scholars Karl Benrath and Bendetto Nicolini, though without reference to this particular Ms. The introduction considers alternative contemporary attributions to other authors, including a more proximate determination of the first publication date of the Letter. Mario da Mercato Saraceno, the first official Capuchin ‘chronicler,’ reported a letter Paul III received from Bernardino Ochino in September 1542. Cesare Cantù and the Capuchin historian Melchiorre da Pobladura (Raffaele Turrado Riesco) after him, and quite possibly the first generations of Capuchins, identified the1542 letter with the one in transcribed in these Mss. The author shows this identification to be untenable. The transcription of VS469 is followed by an annotated English translation. Variations between the Mss are footnoted in the translation. © Paul Hanbridge, 2010 A SCURRILOUS LETTER TO POPE PAUL III A Transcription and Translation of Ms 469 (f.101r – 129r) of the Vadianische Sammlung of the Kantonsbibliothek of St.

  • Fire, Smoke and Vapour. Jan Brueghel's 'Poetic Hells
    FIRE, SMOKE AND VAPOUR. JAN BRUEGHEL’S ‘POETIC HELLS’: ‘GHESPOOCK’ IN EARLY MODERN EUROPEAN ART Christine Göttler Karel van Mander, in the ‘Life of Jeronimus Bos’ in his Schilder-Boeck of 1604, speaks of the ‘wondrous or strange fancies’ (wonderlijcke oft seldsaem versieringhen), which this artist ‘had in his head and expressed with his brush’ – the ‘phantoms and monsters of hell ( ghespoock en ghe- drochten der Hellen) which are usually not so much kindly as ghastly to look upon’.1 Taking one of Bosch’s depictions of the Descent of Christ into the Limbo of the Fathers as an example, van Mander further notes that ‘it’s a wonder what can be seen there of odd spooks (oubolligh ghespoock); also, how subtle and natural (aerdigh en natuerlijck) he was with ames, \ res, smoke and vapours’.2 In the Schilder-Boeck, van Mander frequently uses the word ‘aerdigh’ to describe the aesthetically pleasing quality of small works or small details;3 here, ‘aerdigh’ refers to the natural and lively depiction of res. As it has been observed, van Mander’s list of Bosch’s painterly expres- sions echoes Erasmus’s often-cited eulogy on Dürer in the Dialogus de recta Latini Graecique sermonis pronuntiatione (Dialogue About the Correct Pro- nunciation of Latin and Greek), published in Basel in 1528. According to 1 Mander K. van, The Lives of the Illustrious Netherlandish and German Painters, from the \ rst edition of the Schilder-boeck (1603–1604), ed. H. Miedema, 6 vols. (Davaco: 1994–99) I 124f. (f. 216v): ‘Wie sal verhalen al de wonderlijcke oft seldsaem versieringhen/die Ieronimus Bos in’t hooft heeft ghehadt/en met den Pinceel uytghedruckt/van ghe- spoock en ghedrochten der Hellen/dickwils niet alsoo vriendlijck als grouwlijck aen te sien.’ Here and in the following, my translation is largely based on the one given in Miedema’s edition of The Lives; I use, however, a more literal translation of van Mander’s expressions.

Gli orizzonti della storiografia religiosa si sono ampiamente dila- tati e, al contempo, hanno sensibilmente affinato il metodo euristi- co, alimentando nuovi e rilevanti campi di indagine. Particolarmente significativa l'attenzione storiografica accordata da- gli studiosi italiani, sulla scorta di illustri e rigorosi precorrimenti d'oltralpe, alla dimensione locale, territorialmente definita e circo- scritta, della vita religiosa ed ecclesiale nella sua articolazione e complessità. La diocesi quindi e il suo pastore, costituircono sem- pre piu il soggetto storico della ricerca e dell'indagine archivistica e documentaria in genere. Archivi e biblioteche civiche e di stato, archivi parrocchiali e vescovili, di ordini e congregazioni religiose, di sodalizi pii e di confraternite, capitolari e diocesani, di seminarì e di istituzioni laicali cattoliche, rappresentano i luoghi pih idonei per una esplorazione archivistica e una consultazione bibliografica pertinente e proficua.

  • Printers and Power in Early Sixteenth-Century Rome
    chapter 8 The Rise of the Stampatore Camerale: Printers and Power in Early Sixteenth-Century Rome Paolo Sachet More than any other early modern power, the sixteenth-century Catholic Church is generally identified with a strict, if not reactionary policy towards printing. As part of its struggle against the Reformation, the papacy developed a vast and centralised system of ecclesiastical censorship. While it failed to be as universal as originally envisaged, it had serious ramifications on the culture of Catholic countries, beginning with Italy. An ever-growing number of studies is devoted to this subject, benefiting from the opening of the archive of the Roman Inquisition in 1998 and from the ground-breaking critical edition of the Indexes of Forbidden Books.1 By contrast, almost all of the Church’s attempts to harness printing as a means of communication in support of its own cause have been largely overlooked. This observation is especially true for the very heart of Catholicism, the city of Rome. In the capital of the Papal States, how- ever, cardinals and popes did employ local publishers to print an array of scholarly books to challenge Protestantism mostly in the patristic and histo- riographical fields. As I have illustrated elsewhere, these innovative attempts took place long before the establishment of the Typographia Vaticana in 1587.2 1 To cite only the most relevant contributions, see Gigliola Fragnito, La Bibbia al rogo: la cen­ sura ecclesiastica e i volgarizzamenti della Scrittura (1471–1605) (Bologna: Il Mulino, 1997), as well as her Proibito capire: la Chiesa e il volgare nella prima età moderna (Bologna: Il Mulino, 2005); Vittorio Frajese, Nascita dell’Indice: la censura ecclesiastica dal Rinascimento alla Controriforma (Brescia: Morcelliana, 2006); Peter Godman, The Saint as Censor: Robert Bellarmine between Inquisition and Index (Leiden/Boston: Brill, 2000); Ugo Rozzo, La lette­ ratura italiana negli Indici del Cinquecento (Udine: Forum, 2005).

  • Gian Matteo Giberti, Papal Politician' and Catholic Reformer
    24 Jan. Downloaded from Gian Matteo Giberti, Papal Politician' and Catholic Reformer. http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ PART I. IAN MATTEO GIBEETI, bishop of Verona, scholar and G stylist, patron of men of letters, ambassador, confidential adviser of a pope during a critical period in the history of the papacy and of Italy, bishop and reformer, is one of those men who were famous in their own generation but who have been forgotten by posterity. The veil of oblivion has fallen so closely round him that the historical reader knows him only through a few brief at University of California, San Diego on June 13, 2015 references in Tiraboschi, Eanke, and Gregorovius. Yet it may be not without interest to try to lift that veil and see the man as he appeared to his contemporaries. The father of Gian Matteo Giberti belonged to an ancient and wealthy Genoese family,1 and had probably led a stirring and adventurous life, for he was first captain of the Genoese galleys and afterwards entered the service of Julius II and Leo X. Of the bishop's mother we know nothing but the fact that Franco Giberti met her during a visit to Palermo, and that Gian Matteo was born there out of wedlock in 1495.1 We do not even know of what race she came, and the population of Palermo, in common with the rest of Sicily, was very mixed and included many GreekB. We imagine that she was a woman with a strong bent for religion, since the boy lived with her till his twelfth year, and even as a boy was noted for a rare earnestness.

ANSELM. /]^36f;f .^^^^- "'^ I T!.3 "^^ Pre:i:lonc White Library PREFACE The book entitled The Hundred and Ten Considera- tions OF SiSNiOK John Valdesso, printed at Oxford in 1638, 4to., has become scarce. It is shut up in libraries, and should a stray copy come abroad, it is rarely to be obtained by him who seeks for it. This is not so much because the work is sought for by many, and largely known; for the principles it teaches are almost as much in advance of the present times as they were in the days of the 'sainted George Herbert' and Nicholas Ferrar, who first published it in English.

    6 RENAISSANCE HISTORY, ART AND CULTURE Cussen Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform of Politics Cultural the and III Paul Pope Bryan Cussen Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform 1534-1549 Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform Renaissance History, Art and Culture This series investigates the Renaissance as a complex intersection of political and cultural processes that radiated across Italian territories into wider worlds of influence, not only through Western Europe, but into the Middle East, parts of Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It will be alive to the best writing of a transnational and comparative nature and will cross canonical chronological divides of the Central Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Renaissance History, Art and Culture intends to spark new ideas and encourage debate on the meanings, extent and influence of the Renaissance within the broader European world. It encourages engagement by scholars across disciplines – history, literature, art history, musicology, and possibly the social sciences – and focuses on ideas and collective mentalities as social, political, and cultural movements that shaped a changing world from ca 1250 to 1650.

  • Gian Matteo Giberti, Downloaded from Papal Politician and Catholic Reformer
    266 Gian Matteo Giberti, Downloaded from Papal Politician and Catholic Reformer. PAST II. S datary and confidential adviser of the pope Giberti had not http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ A enjoyed full opportunities for carrying out his aims, but as bishop of Verona his work possessed the element of permanence. To the historian of the religious movements of the time Giberti is deeply interesting, but to the end somewhat of a problem. On the one side he touches the new opinions of the age, the revived Auguatinian theology, the new fervour of love and devotion ; on the other he belongs to the party which triumphs in the council of Trent, the. party which combines sweeping reform in ecclesiastical at Brunel University on July 20, 2015 discipline with the most resolute attitude of opposition to heresy and all that seemed likely to endanger the unity of the catholic church. Giberti is mentioned by Caracciolo in his Vita Pavli IV. as one of the earliest members of the Oratory of Divine Lwe. This society first met during the pontificate of Leo X in the church of SS. Silvestro and Dorothea in the Traatevere, near the site of the ancient inn dedicated by Calixtus I to the service of the ' true God,' and the place where, according to tradition, St. Peter suffered martyr- dom. Amid the indifference and semi-paganism of the Roman curia and people a few earnest men, mourning over the loss of all religion, and seeing the handle thus given to the opponents of the church, burned to make their own religion fervent and deep, that they might stimulate others to follow their example.
