General Topical Research Bibliography General Topical Research Bibliography A Guide to Source Material on Microfilmed Manuscripts from the Vatican Library‘s Collections Located in the Vatican Film Library at Saint Louis University ©2010 This resource is intended to help researchers find reference works pertaining to manuscripts housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (BAV) and available on microfilm in the Vatican Film Library (VFL). The scholarly sources listed here offer paleographical, codicological, textual, decorative, and general information, and include manuscript catalogues, inventories, handlists and indices as well as monographs, editions, facsimiles, periodicals, and exhibition catalogues. The bibliography is organized by subject, author, and genre headings. Each entry provides the source reference, any cross-referenced headings, and the shelfmark of each Vatican Library manuscript cited in the text (in order by collection). An index of headings is included at the end of the bibliography. Authors are alphabetized by most common English name (regional appellations and honorifics are not considered in alphabetizing: thus Geoffrey of Monmouth precedes Gerson, Jean). Vatican Library manuscript collections referenced here are the following: Arch. Cap. S. Pietro Archivio del Capitolo di San Pietro Pal. gr. Palatini graeci Barb. gr. Barberini graeci Pal. lat.

  • THE JESUIT MISSION to CANADA and the FRENCH WARS of RELIGION, 1540-1635 Dissertation P
    “POOR SAVAGES AND CHURLISH HERETICS”: THE JESUIT MISSION TO CANADA AND THE FRENCH WARS OF RELIGION, 1540-1635 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joseph R. Wachtel, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Alan Gallay, Adviser Professor Dale K. Van Kley Professor John L. Brooke Copyright by Joseph R. Wachtel 2013 Abstract My dissertation connects the Jesuit missions in Canada to the global Jesuit missionary project in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by exploring the impact of French religious politics on the organizing of the first Canadian mission, established at Port Royal, Acadia, in 1611. After the Wars of Religion, Gallican Catholics blamed the Society for the violence between French Catholics and Protestants, portraying Jesuits as underhanded usurpers of royal authority in the name of the Pope—even accusing the priests of advocating regicide. As a result, both Port Royal’s settlers and its proprietor, Jean de Poutrincourt, never trusted the missionaries, and the mission collapsed within two years. After Virginia pirates destroyed Port Royal, Poutrincourt drew upon popular anti- Jesuit stereotypes to blame the Jesuits for conspiring with the English. Father Pierre Biard, one of the missionaries, responded with his 1616 Relation de la Nouvelle France, which described Port Royal’s Indians and narrated the Jesuits’ adventures in North America, but served primarily as a defense of their enterprise. Religio-political infighting profoundly influenced the interaction between Indians and Europeans in the earliest years of Canadian settlement.

    anuscripts on my mind News from the Vatican Film Library No. 5 January 2012 ❧ Editor’s Remarks ❧ Manuscript queries ❧ Exhibitions ❧ News and Postings ❧ Manuscript winter sales ❧ Calls for Papers ❧ ❧ EDITOR’S REMARKS inter greetings to all from a less than wintery St. Louis, which so far has had only one snowfall, though we fluctuated this very week from one day to anoth- Wer between 60 and 15 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope all of you have had a joyful holiday season and a good rest, and are more or less back to the normal grind of studying, teaching, cu- rating, writing, editing, and all the other activities that manuscript people are cheerfully involved in. ❧ ❧ ❧ I start out the new year with this image from our manuscript teaching collection, MS 23. It is catalogued as an antiphonary cutting, Proper of the Season, for Decem- ber 25, Nativity, and its style attribut- ed to Germany, 15th century. The initial presents King David, holding a scroll that names him, pointing up to the heavenly sphere where God the Father and saints look out and seem to greet him. We sup- pose that this unconventional iconog- raphy for the Nativity portrays David in his role as forerunner of Christ. I would ask the manuscript community to com- ment on or correct the following: the in- terpretation of the iconography; whether it is in fact an unconventional image for a Nativity scene—and especially, wheth- er you agree with the attribution to Ger- many, or can suggest another place of production—and who knows, actually identify the illuminator.

Vatican Apostolic Library The Observatory is one of the Vatican Publishing House oldest astronomical institutes in the wo rld. Papal interest in Teutonic Cemetery astronomy can be traced to Pope Gregory XIII who had the Tower Circolo San Pietro of the Winds built in the Vatican in 1578 and later called on Jesuit Saints Peter and Paul astro no mers and mathematicians to study the scientific data and Association implicatio ns invo lved in the refo rm o f the calendar which o ccurred in 1582. From that time and with some degree of continuity the Holy See has manifested an interest in and support for astronomical research. These early traditions of the Observatory reached their climax in the mid-nineteenth century with research conducted at the Roman College by the famous Jesuit, Father Angelo Secchi, the first to classify stars according to their spectra. With these rich traditions as a basis and in order to counteract the longstanding accusations of hostility of the Church towards science, Pope Leo XIII in his Motu Proprio Ut Mysticam of 14 March 1891 formally refounded the Vatican Observatory and lo cated it o n a hillside behind the do me o f St.

    Prot. 2001/0911/P-B623 Vatican City, March 31, 2001 CENL VATICAN LIBRARY - REPORT 2000 1. MANAGEMENT of the Library: performance indicators, planning, decision-making, evaluation, mission statement The quality assessment has yet to be actualized. For now, waiting for qualified personnel and an increased budget, little by little, and for specific sections, work is being done. Personnel continue to be sensitized to the project. The relinquishment of the Library's Department of the Museums to the Vatican Museums (October 1, 1999) is slowly serving as a means to define more clearly the primary goals of the Library according to the actual norms of the Vatican Library. 2. HANDLING of electronic publications and formats, including new legislation In this area we are still in the phase of general projections. At any rate, some individual pilot projects have already been realized: 1) The digitization of copies owned by the Vatican Library of the Gutenberg Bible; in collaboration with Toppan Printing Company of Tokyo; 2) The reproduction on CD of important works regarding the origins of Common Law and the History of the Church; in collaboration with the Publisher "Sub Signo Stellae"; 3) The reproduction on CD of the series "Studi e Testi" was initiated, beginning with the out of print volumes; 4) In order to serve the scholars' needs, the photographic lab is, beginning this year, offering the possibility of digital reproductions of printed books and manuscripts. 3. FUNDING There were no budget cuts. Following the tendency of the last three years, there was an increase from the previous year (27%).

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Madmen and Lawyers: the Development and Practice of the Jurisprudence of Insanity in the Midd
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Madmen and Lawyers: The Development and Practice of the Jurisprudence of Insanity in the Middle Ages A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Center for Medieval and Byzantine Studies School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Brandon T. Parlopiano Washington, D.C. 2013 Madmen and Lawyers: The Development and Practice of the Jurisprudence of Insanity in the Middle Ages Brandon T. Parlopiano, Ph.D. Director: Kenneth Pennington, Ph.D. The twelfth century witnessed a renaissance of the scientific study of law in Western Europe. Students flocked to the nascent universities to study the canon law of the Church as well as ancient Roman jurisprudence. These two bodies of law and the layers of commentary that built up around them formed the ius commune, the common legal culture and jurisprudence that thrived in Europe for centuries. Scholars have long noted the importance of the ius commune in discussions of political authority, ecclesiology, and rights, as well as a myriad of other legal issues, but the jurists of the ius commune also possessed a sophisticated reflection on the problems raised by insanity in law. As medievalists begin to examine the cultural meanings and social realities of disability and madness, it is particularly important to understand the ways in which jurists conceived of the relation between the insane and society. Using the glosses, lectures, and commentaries of the ius commune, this dissertation pursues the figure of the furiosus, the insane person, across multiple areas of jurisprudence from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries.
