It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge. In 1882, the task was proven to be impossible, as a consequence of the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem which proves that pi (π) is a transcendental, rather than an algebraic irrational number; that is, it is not the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients. Approximate squaring to any given non-perfect accuracy, in contrast, is possible in a finite number of steps, since there are rational numbers arbitrarily close to π. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible.” (Wikipedia) 178 years ago, the invention of photography opened the way to create images and also to reproduce art, giving access to the multitude, promoting the frame of a market.

  • The Image of a Queen: the Representation of Catherine De’ Medici As
    THE IMAGE OF A QUEEN: THE REPRESENTATION OF CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI AS PENELOPE IN THE GALERIE D’ULYSSE by ELIZABETH LEHMAN MILLER (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This study explores the patronage and significance of the five sixteenth-century fresco scenes illustrating the reunion of Ulysses and Penelope designed by Francesco Primaticcio in the no longer extant Galerie d’Ulysse at Fontainebleau. Correlations are drawn between the imagery represented in the frescoes and two other works of art from Primaticcio’s oeuvre: the tomb of King Henri II and Queen Catherine de’ Medici of France and a painting titled Ulysses and Penelope in the Toledo Museum of Art. Also examined in relation to the frescoes are Catherine de’ Medici’s efforts to create a positive public image of herself as Regent of France following the death of Henri II. It is argued that Homer’s Penelope was a suitable mythological character with whom Catherine de’ Medici could identify; and that the Galerie d’Ulysse frescoes of Ulysses and Penelope were a means of public propaganda for the recently widowed queen- regent.

  • ERASMUS (1467?–1536) Jean-Claude Margolin1
    The following text was originally published in Prospects:the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. XXIII, no. 1/2, 1993, p. 333–352. ©UNESCO:International Bureau of Education, 2000 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. ERASMUS (1467?–1536) Jean-Claude Margolin1 The fact that the creators of the ‘Erasmus’ Programme2, which over a number of years now has been bringing an ever-increasing number of European students and teachers together around given subjects of reflection and research, chose to adopt the name of the famous Dutch humanist is assuredly no passing administrative fancy. But Erasmus himself is more often quoted than read despite almost being a household name and despite the title of one of his works (‘In praise of folly’), not to mention the two portraits left to us by Holbein the Younger. As his life and works are closed books for many, we thought we might usefully direct attention to some of the landmarks in this exceptional life, lived during a period which was not lacking in outstanding personalities. A sketch of a life and work Erasmus was born without a name in mysterious, if not shameful, circumstances—his father was a priest who had seduced the daughter of a doctor of Zevenbergen called Geert—and his destiny continued to be exceptional. He was born in Rotterdam in 1467 (or 1469, 1466 or 1468 depending on the source) and, a few decades later, was to win fame for his town, which in this latter part of the fifteenth century was only a little fishing village, by adding its name to his.

  • Erasmus' De Recta Pronuntiatione and Ciceronianus
    Language, Race, and Church Reform: Erasmus’ De recta pronuntiatione and Ciceronianus Judith Rice Henderson University of Saskatchewan L’examen des volumes des éditions Froben qui contiennent le dialogue caustique du Ciceronianus, suggère qu’Érasme et ses imprimeurs répondaient à des att aques ita- liennes et espagnoles dirigées contre les contributions rhénanes en recherche biblique et patristique. L’édition de mars 1528 et sa révision d’octobre 1529 / mars 1530 s’ouvrent sur le dialogue De recta Latini Graecique sermonis pronuntiatione dialogus, dans lequel Érasme surpasse les études sur la prononciation des langues anciennes eff ectuées par les humanistes ayant collaboré avec les Presses Aldine, entre autres Girolamo Aleandro. La révision de mars 1529 a étée publié rapidement, avec ses Colloquia, en mars 1529 par les éditions Froben en réponse à la réaction fr ançaise. D’autres ouvrages, reconnaissant la contribution d’humanistes germaniques faisant partie du cercle d’Érasme, accompa- gnent chaque édition du Ciceronianus. L’édition d’octobre 1529 ajoute également une lett re adressée à Karel Uutenhove de Gand, dans laquelle Érasme fait allusion à d’autres humanistes importants qui le soutiennent en Europe, de l’Angleterre à l’Italie. Karel Uutenhove avait aidé Érasme à gagner la faveur du cicéronien Pietro Bembo, à Padoue et Venise. Considérés ensemble, ces deux dialogues et les autres documents annexés, constituent un manifeste du programme réformateur d’Érasme, ainsi qu’un plaidoyer adressé à l’Église afi n qu’elle modifi e son att itude négative envers la « Germanie », et qu’elle résolve le schisme en cours en réajustant son approche des langues anciennes, ec- clésiastiques et internationales que sont le grec et le latin.
