82 and Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte. Borromeo Would Later Open His Own Academy in Milan, in Addition to a Picture Gallery

and Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte. 15 Borromeo would later open his own Academy in Milan, in addition to a picture gallery with works donated from the Cardinal’s own collection. 16 Del Monte (1549-1626), too, seems to have had direct contact with Neri and the Oratorians. In his seminal two-volume study on the cardinal, Zygmunt Wa źbi ński suggested that Del Monte was introduced to the Oratorian circle shortly after his arrival in Rome by Cardinal Ferdinando de’ Medici. 17 This proposal is likely, but Del Monte would have other opportunities to meet and form a relationship with the Oratorians through colleagues and associates already linked with the Oratorian founder and his brethren. Del Monte was not only closely linked to Paleotti, but also Cardinal Federico Borromeo, and the Oratorian-Cardinals Baronio and Tarugi. Cardinal Agostino Valier (1531-1606) was a close friend of both Carlo and Federico Borromeo. He was a member of Carlo’s Accademia delle Notti Vaticane in Rome, and would later write the saint’s biography, Vita e morte di S. Carlo Borromeo in 15 Alberti, Origine , dedicatory letter to Borromeo. 16 See Borromeo, Musaeum ; Quint, Cardinal Federico Borromeo as a Patron ; Jones, Federico Borromeo and the Ambrosiana . Borromeo’s Accademia del Disegno, Milan was officially founded in 1620, and the Pinacoteca two years earlier. Both institutions functioned to teach young artists how to appropriately and effectively paint sacred imagery. 17 Wa źbi ński, Il Cardinale Francesco Maria Del Monte, vol. 1, 67. Del Monte, in fact, received his ordination in the Oratorian church of Santa Maria in Vallicella. BAV, Urb.Lat. 1057, c. 209 ; [12 aprile 1589]: “Domenica matina il Card[ina]le Dal Monte prese l’ordine presbiteriale nella chiesa della Vallicella p[er] mano del Card[ina]le Gonzaga giovane.” He is also mentioned as a participant in the spiritual activities at the Vallicella. BAV, Urb.Lat. 1061, c. 9v ; [6 gennaio 1593]: “Domenica la sera Mons[igno]r Pietro Aldobrand[in]o Nepote di N[ost] S[igno]re diede da cena nell’Ospitio de Padri della Chiesa Nuova alli Card[ina]li Monti et Montalto dopo certe ricreazioni spirituali.” 82.

Agostino Valier’s Rethorica Ecclesiastica (1574-1583) and Cardinal Charles Borromeo ABSTRACT It is quite usual to find references to a group of Neo-Latin treatises on preaching called ‘borromean rhetorics’, the name taken from a couple of widely known studies by Marc Fumaroli. After a short state- of-the-art introduction, this article describes Agostino Valier’s Rhetorica in comparison to Charles Borromeus’ Instructiones prædicatoris verbi Dei . As a conclusion, the author finds that the most traceable influence on Valier is the original order to have the treatise written and published, something that Valier himself accomplishes somehow reluctantly.

Manuela Bragagnolo Working Paper the Italian Academy for Advanced
Manuela Bragagnolo Working Paper The Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America - Columbia University Law, Physiognomy and Medicine in Sixteenth-Century Venice: The Case of Giovanni Ingegneri, Bishop of Capodistria († 1600) 10.27.2015 Educated in medicine, Giovanni Ingegneri later became a Venetian jurist who also served as Bishop of Capodistria from 1576 until his death in 1600. An extremely cultivated man, he was the author of two books: a handwritten legal treatise hitherto unknown to modern scholars, entitled Contra la sofistica disciplina de’ giureconsulti (Against the Sophistic Discipline of Jurists), and a treatise on physiognomy, Fisionomia Naturale, which has been referenced in several studies on physiognomy and magic but never studied in its entirety (THORNDYKE, 1941; PORTER, 2005). At the time of Ingegneri’s death, both texts existed in manuscript form only. Fisionomia Naturale was published posthumously and anonymously by Ingegneri’s nephew, Angelo, in 1606. Both treatises testify to an extraordinary and original mind. Even if Ingegneri has, until recently, been overlooked by modern scholars, Lodovico Antonio Muratori, the prominent eighteenth-century Italian historian, evidently grasped the significance of his work. Indeed, some of the most innovative aspects of his own oeuvre build on Ingegneri’s treatises. As I have previously revealed in my own research, Muratori unearthed Ingegneri’s legal manuscripts at Milan’s Biblioteca Ambrosiana, founded by Federico Borromeo, during the period 1695-1700 (BRAGAGNOLO, 2014). During his residency as a “doctor” there, Muratori recorded, in several notebooks, extracts from what appeared to be a “manuscript project” – “un progetto manoscritto” - of Ingegneri’s treatise Contra la sofistica disciplina de’ giureconsulti.

Tridentine Renewal and Spiritual Education of Women in the Experience of Female Monasticism
Historia y Memoria de la Educación, 4 (2016): 19-48 Sociedad Española de Historia de la Educación ISSN: 2444-0043 DOI: 10.5944/hme.4.2016.15479 TRIDENTINE RENEWAL AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATION OF WOMEN IN THE EXPERIENCE OF FEMALE MONASTICISM. THE CASE OF VERONA IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY La renovación tridentina y la educación espiritual de las mujeres en la experiencia de vida monacal femenina. El caso de Verona en el siglo XVI§ Elisabetta Patrizi* Fecha de recepción: 26/10/2015 • Fecha de aceptación: 21/01/2016 Abstract. The catholic world of the Sixteenth century, especially after the Council of Trent, exalted the condition of monastic life as the most perfect and noblest of the conditions of life traditionally reserved for women. The monastic state became the model to which the educational path of every woman had to conform to, even if she was destined to live in the world (as mother, virgin, widow, or married woman). The strong paradigmatic value exerted by the monastic condition of life is clear from the analysis of the pedagogical literature devoted to women published in this period. The present article focuses on two relevant examples of this literature: the Costituzioni per le monache (Constitutions for Nuns, 1539) by Gian Matteo Giberti and the Ricordi lasciati alle monache (Recollections left to nuns, 1575) by Agostino Valier. The two texts contain very interesting reasons for understanding the pedagogical directions of the time, which are highlighted by the author with specific references to the historical context and thanks to the support of documentary and published sources.

Illiterates and Church Censorship in Late Renaissance Italy
Illiterates and Church Censorship in Late Renaissance Italy Giorgio Caravale Università di Roma Tre / Harvard University The plan to control ideas and book circulation that the papacy enacted in the second half of the sixteenth century in close collaboration with the Congregation of the Inquisition and the Congregation of the Index radically changed the land- scape of Italian culture. In the ten years following the 1998 opening of the Holy Office Archives in Rome, historiography concentrated mostly on the institutional aspects of Roman censorship, highlighting the conflicts, resistance, and jurisdic- tional struggles behind the main decisions taken by the two Congregations of cardinals (Inquisition and Index) in charge of censoring books. If it’s true, on the one hand, that a lot of work must still be done to evaluate the mid and long-term effects that censorial action had on the development of Italian culture, it’s also true, on the other hand, that some aspects have already been clarified. The most recent studies have shown that, in cultural terms, censorship in- flicted its most severe damage on the ignorant and illiterate, on those social categories that were unfamiliar with Latin and did not habitually frequent the courts or academies. Because the system of licensing the reading of books had to allow for the professional needs of cultured readers (medicians, scientists, law- yers), often giving way to political and even curial pressure;1 moreover, thanks to a well-developed network which cleverly eluded customs control, thus allowing books to travel relatively easily, Italian intellectuals were able to maintain close contact with the European respublica litterarum.2 Therefore, the cultured classes 1.
