    Mora Wade THE RECEPTION OF OPITZ'S lUDITH DURING THE BAROQUE By virtue of its status as the second German opera libretto, Martin Opitz's ludith (1635), has received little critical attention in its own right. l ludith stands in the shadow of its predecessor, Da/ne (1627),2 also by Opitz, as weH as in that of a successor, Harsdörffer and Staden's See/ewig (1644), the first German-Ianguage opera to which the music is extant today.3 Both libretti by Opitz, Dafne and ludith, are the earliest examples of the reception of Italian opera into German-speaking lands.4 Da/ne was based on the opera ofthe 1.

  • BIBLIOTECA DI GALILEO GALILEO's LIBRARY
    Museo Galileo Istituto e Museo di storia della scienza Piazza Giudici 1, Firenze, ITALIA BIBLIOTECA www.museogalileo.it/biblioteca.html BIBLIOTECA DI GALILEO La ricostruzione dell’inventario della biblioteca di Galileo rappresenta uno strumento essenziale per comprendere appieno i riferimenti culturali del grande scienziato toscano. Già alla fine dell’Ottocento, Antonio Favaro, curatore dell’Edizione Nazionale delle Opere galileiane, individuò più di 500 opere appartenute a Galileo (cfr. A. Favaro, La libreria di Galileo Galilei, in «Bullettino di bibliografia e di storia delle scienze matematiche e fisiche», XIX, 1886, p. 219-293 e successive appendici del 1887 e 1896). Il catalogo di Favaro si è arricchito di ulteriori segnalazioni bibliografiche, frutto di recenti ricerche sul tema compiute da Michele Camerota (La biblioteca di Galileo: alcune integrazioni e aggiunte desunte dal carteggio, in Biblioteche filosofiche private in età moderna e contemporanea. Firenze : Le Lettere, 2010, p. 81-95) e Crystal Hall (Galileo's library reconsidered. « Galilaeana», a. 12 (2015), p. 29-82). Si è giunti così all’identificazione di un totale di 600 volumi che furono certamente nella disponibilità di Galileo. Alcune delle edizioni qui registrate sono possedute anche dalla Biblioteca del Museo Galileo, altre sono accessibili in versione digitale nella Banca dati cumulativa del Museo Galileo alla url: www.museogalileo.it/bancadaticumulativa.html GALILEO’s LIBRARY The reconstruction of the inventory of Galileo' s library represents an essential tool to fully understand the cultural references of the great Tuscan scientist.

  • I Had to Fight with the Painters, Master Carpenters
    ‘I had to fight with the painters, master carpenters, actors, musicians and the dancers’: Rehearsals, performance problems and audience reaction in Renaissance spectacles Jennifer Nevile Early Dance Circle Annual Lecture, 21 February 2021 In 1513 Castiglione wrote about the difficulties he was having during the rehearsals for a production at Urbino. [the intermedio] about the battles was unfortunately true - to our disgrace. … [The intermedi] were made very much in a hurry, and I had to fight with the painters, the master carpenters, the actors, musicians and the dancers.1 Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what caused the arguments between Castiglione and all the personnel involved in this production, and neither do we know how these difficulties were resolved. But Castiglione’s letter reminds us that then, as now, not everything went as smoothly as those in charge would have hoped for. In spite of the many glowing reports as to the success of theatrical spectacles in early modern Europe, the wonder and amazement of the audience, the brilliance of the glittering costumes, the quantity of jewels and precious stones worn by the performers and the virtuosity of the dancing, problems were encountered during production and the performance. It is this aspect of Renaissance spectacles that is the focus of today’s lecture. I will begin with a discussion of the desire for a successful outcome, and what efforts went into achieving this aim, before moving to an examination of what disasters did occur, from audience over-crowding and noise, stage-fright of the performers, properties being too big to fit through the door into the hall in which the performance was taking place, to more serious catastrophes such as a fire during a performance.

  • Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont
    Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont D. W. Hayton Introduction John Perceval (1683–1748), fourth baronet, of Burton Hall, near Kanturk in County Cork, created first Baron Perceval (in 1715), first Viscount Perceval (1723) and first Earl of Egmont (1733) in the Irish peerage, sat in the British House of Commons for the government borough of Harwich in the parliament of 1727–34, and left to posterity a diary containing accounts of debates in the Commons which constitute the best source for parliamentary proceedings during the period of Sir Robert Walpole’s prime ministership.1 This was published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission in three volumes between 1905 and 1909, as appendices to its sixteenth report.2 Elsewhere in Perceval’s large personal archive in the British Library other examples survive of the diarist’s craft and some of these have been published: in 1962 Robert McPherson edited the ‘journal’ compiled by Perceval from notes, minutes and papers while he was a trustee of the Georgia Society in the 1730s;3 in 1969 Aubrey Newman printed fragments from 1749–51 and 1760, illustrating the politics of the ‘Leicester House’ faction, with which Perceval was involved;4 in 1982 the present author published excerpts relating to Irish parliamentary proceedings in 1711 and 1713 from a ‘journal of public affairs’ kept by Perceval between 1711 and 1718;5 and in 1989 Mark Wenger edited Perceval’s diary of his travels in 1701 as a young man through the eastern and northern counties of England.6 Occasional references in the Historical Manuscripts Commission volumes indicate that Perceval had compiled other accounts of events – specifically of parliamentary debates – and forwarded them in correspondence.

  • Universalist Aspirations of the Utraquist Church
    194 Zdeněk V. David Universalist Aspirations of the Utraquist Church Zdeněk V. David (Washington, D.C.) An important legacy of Utraquism to the subsequent Czech political culture was its universalist outlook. This conclusion may appear paradoxical consider - ing that the national accent seemed so strong in the Bohemian Reformation and especially during the Bohemian religious wars. Such an assumption of national exclusivity led to the mistaken view that the Bohemians might be sat - isfied with an exceptional ecclesiastical status, as Rome saw it at the Council of Basel in 1434-1436 and in the issuance of a special privilege of the lay chalice for the Bohemians by Pope Pius IV in 1564. These tactics of appeasement, however, failed. They ignored the basic fact that the Bohemians’ goal was to reform the (Western) Church as a whole. In the eyes of the Utraquists, the purpose of the Czech nation was not to assert a peculiar set of ethnically grounded beliefs, but to serve as a vehicle for the realisation of a universal purpose. Subsequently, this outlook harmonised with the cosmopolitan character of the Enlighten - ment and eventually with that of political liberalism. In an earlier article, I discussed the Utraquist legacy of liberal ecclesiology. 1 In this paper the Utraquists’ universalism is treated in terms of their contin - ued, albeit qualified, attachment to the Roman Church, as well as their rela - tionship to other groups that sought to reform the entire scope of Western Christendom along the lines of liberal Catholicism. 2 This essay also seeks to answer the charges that the Utraquists’ ambition to reform the Church of Rome revealed signs of sycophancy, quixotic idiosyncrasy, and megalomania in their actions.

ISSN 1830-7728 © 2011 Catherine Fletcher Printed in Italy European University Institute Badia Fiesolana I – 50014 San Domenico di Fiesole (FI) Italy www.eui.eu cadmus.eui.eu Abstract Ambassadors in early modern Europe were frequent disbursers of tips, rewards and bribes, and usually expected something in return for their liberality. This paper considers the conventions, both written and unwritten, that governed such activities in Renaissance Rome, setting them in the context of the extensive literature on gift-giving. While official, ceremonial gifts were often recorded in writing, the less licit payments with which this article is concerned were often not. However, there is enough of a paper trail to reconstruct at least some of the gift-giving practices at the papal court, and the essay considers diplomatic letters, trial records and prescriptive treatises in order to do so.
