La raccolta libraria descritta consta di 1219 opere stampate prevalentemente nei secoli XVIII e soprattutto XIX; la maggior parte dei volumi risultano essere appartenuti – come testimoniato da note di possesso e postille manoscritte - ai religiosi che a vario titolo ebbero rapporti con la Parrocchia di Esine fra Settecento e Ottocento. Il fondo ne rispec- chia dunque i diversificati interessi culturali che emblematicamente si intrecciano e si saldano con le fasi salienti dello sviluppo della storia e dell’evoluzione del pensiero. Il pa- trimonio documentario disponibile presso la Biblioteca parrocchiale può così essere oggetto di differenti “chiavi di lettura” a seconda che si soffermi l’attenzione sul contenuto delle pubblicazioni piuttosto che sulle caratteristiche editoriali degli stampati o si intenda in- vece approfondire la ricerca nell’ambito della storia locale. Il catalogo qui pubblicato - curato da Vittorio Volpi - è il risultato del lavoro di catalogazione intrapreso alcuni anni fa, finanziato dal Comune di Esine. Contiene le descrizioni delle opere appartenenti alla Biblioteca parrocchiale nel formato standard ISBD, con intestazioni secondo RICA e riporta con particolare ampiezza e dettaglio le note relative all’esemplare.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Dennis R. Di Mauro Washington, D.C. 2012 Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England Dennis R. Di Mauro, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Grès-Gayer, D. Hist., D. Theo. Acting Director: Nelson H. Minnich, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the twenty-seven English editions of famed Gallican church historian Louis Ellies Du Pin. While Du Pin‘s life and works have been extensively researched by Grès-Gayer, his English translations, and reactions to them, have never been fully studied. The research takes an in-depth look at his Protestant editors‘ comments, as well as those of other prominent scholars who cite Du Pin‘s works in their own. Their varied depictions of Du Pin include: Protestant sympathizer, pre- enlightenment scholar, and a staunch Catholic. The dissertation includes English Catholic reactions to Du Pin as a traitor to the Catholic cause and a closet Jansenist. Was the ―English Du Pin‖ the Real Du Pin? The conclusion explains how the English misunderstood him, and explores the many facets of the real scholar: a debunker of ancient forgeries, an agenda-driven Gallican, and a clumsy ecumenist. i This dissertation by Dennis R.

It seeks to answer the question of how conceptions of public and private changed in late seventeenth century England be examining the career of L'Estrange, which involved him in many of the major pamphlet campaigns of the Restoration period. It argues that there was no stable "public sphere" in seventeenth century England, one that clearly marked it off from a private sphere of domesticity. It argues that the classical notion of office, in which reciprocal obligation and duty were paramount, was the basic presupposition of public but also private life, and that the very ubiquity of ideals of office holding made it semantically impossible to distinguish a stable public realm from a private one.

  • 095-San Bernardo Alle Terme
    (095/12) San Bernardo alle Terme St Bernard's at the Baths is a 16th century monastic and titular church resulting from a conversion of an ancient Roman building. It is at Via Torino 94, just off Piazza di San Bernardo and opposite Santa Susanna in the historical rione Monti (the present rione Castro Pretorio). The dedication is to St Bernard of Clairvaux. [1] History The edifice is actually ancient, being substantially a rotunda 22 metres in diameter which was part of the complex of the Baths of Diocletian. This enormous public facility, completed in 306, occupied a rectangular site measuring 380 by 370 metres, and was surrounded by an enclosure or peribolos wall. The main bath buildings are now occupied by the church of the former Carthusian monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli. [1] The rotunda was converted to a church of a new monastery for the Feuillants. These monks comprised a reform movement of the Cistercian monastic order, which itself was an early 12th century reform of the Benedictines, and which had a great similarity to the later Cistercian reform known as the Trappists. The reform started at Les Feuillants Abbey near Toulouse in France, and was instigated in 1577 by the abbot, Jean de la Barrière. In Italy the monks were known as Foglianti. [1] [2] (095/12) In 1587 Pope Sixtus V had the area in front of the church of Santa Susanna developed into a large piazza to make it a worthy "forum" for his newly created fountain "Mostra di Acqua Felice" or " Moses Fountain." [2] Caterina Nobili Sforza, Countess of Santa Fiora and a niece of Pope Julius III, who was a great supporter of the French Abbot Jean de la Barrière, founded a Feuillant monastery in the city in 1594.

  • Introduction When a Building Copies Or References a Model
    Metaphors in Action: early modern church buildings as spaces of knowledge Introduction When a building copies or references a model, it becomes an analogous space: regardless of how exactly the model is invoked, or whether the model ever existed, elements of the new building stand for an original that is not present, yet can be read, understood or remembered by means of these elements, their arrangement, or use. If it is quite easy to accept that analogies of this kind exist, it is harder to establish how exactly they are established. What defines the connection between the building and its analogue? How is this connection recognized or activated? On what does it depend, on the design of a building, its use, its descriptions, its context?1 It is the aim of this article to examine this connection by comparing how, during the early modern period, Roman Catholic churches and those of the Church of England were constructed, used and read as analogous spaces. As we will argue, churches act as analogous spaces because by definition they incorporate important symbolical and historical meanings. They are used and often described following well-established practices, which should allow the beholder or reader to grasp the construction of the analogous space. By adopting a comparative perspective across confessional lines, we hope to establish some of the factors that determine the modalities of the analogous space. After all, among the major points of the confessional debate were the use of images and the appropriateness of architectural splendour, as well as the exact nature and meaning of liturgical rites.

    THE LEGACY OF AN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY GENTLEMAN: ALEXANDER THISTLETHWAYTE’S BOOKS IN WINCHESTER COLLEGE FELLOWS’ LIBRARY by CARLY EMMA WATSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham November 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the donation of books made by Alexander Thistlethwayte (?1718– 1771), a Hampshire grandee and bibliophile, to the Fellows’ Library of Winchester College, the oldest of the English public schools. The first two chapters demonstrate the largely untapped potential of two unique books in the Thistlethwayte benefaction to advance scholarly understanding of topics relating to the copying and transmission of early modern literary texts. The second part of the thesis examines the collecting habits which shaped the physical configuration of Thistlethwayte’s books and the contents of his library. Chapter Three rediscovers the role of the anthology in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century cultures of compilation, through a comparison of Sammelbände assembled by Thistlethwayte with those that he acquired from an Oxford graduate of the 1690s.

  • Consigned to the Flames Word 97-2003
    Consigned to the Flames: An Analysis of the Apostolic Order of Bologna 1290-1307 with Some Comparison to the Beguins/Spiritual Franciscans 1300-1330 Elizabeth Timberlake-Newell Submitted in full for the requirements of the Doctorate of Philosophy University of Glasgow Faculty of Arts School of Humanities January 2012 © Elizabeth Timberlake-Newell January 2012 For my husband Andrew and our daughters Arwen and Azure—you all tolerated my long hours and fits of writing with such grace. Abstract The Apostolic Order, a late medieval Italian mendicant order remains fundamentally little understood despite several centuries of research and writing devoted to their history. Much of the work done on the Apostolic Order (or Followers of Dolcino) has been focused on their leaders, taken as given the order’s heretical status, or presumed the marginalized status of those who supported the order. This thesis attempts to reconsider the order and its supporters by placing them as another mendicant order prior to the papal condemnation, and put forth the new perspective that the supporters were much like other medieval persons and became socially marginalized by the inquisitorial focus on the Apostolic Order. To support this theory, this thesis will compare the inquisitorial records of the Apostolic supporters found in Historia Fratris Dulcini Heresiarche and the Acta S. Officii Bononie—ab anon 1291 usque ad annum 1310 to those of another group of mendicants and supporters, the Beguins of Provence, which are found in Spirituali e Beghini in Provenza, Bernard Gui’s Le Livre des Sentences de L’inquisiteur Bernard Gui 1308-1323 , and the martyrology in Louisa Burnham’s So Great a Light, So Great a Smoke: The Beguin Heretics of Languedoc.
