Call Number: NB635 .N48 2017 ISBN: 9789004360730 Description: "One of the principal arts in the Low Countries during the 16th century, sculpture was an important vehicle for supporting the social, religious and political interests of the church, the court, the cities and the nobility. The period saw the transition from an exuberant Gothic to a classicizing Renaissance style, a transformation in which sculpture assumed a leading role. In addition, statues were central to the cult of saints and commonly triggered iconophobia, which flared so spectacularly in the Beeldenstorm of 1566 and later riots. The essays in this volume cover a wide range of sculptural forms in the Low Countries, such as choir stalls, sacrament houses, carved altarpieces, funerary monuments, mantelpieces and small-scale cabinet sculptures. Issues of function, meaning, patronage and reception are central to these contributions, offering the most complete and accurate overview of the subject to date." Title: C.

The authors of this volume examine various fields of cultural discourse in the Netherlands of the sixteenth century: the political, commercial, religious, artistic, and sensory domains, and less obviously metaphysical properties like time and space. What defined the Low Countries were not its borders and its territories but its cities, and their economies dominated political relations. A dense network of large cities and small towns developed hand in hand with a broad range of textile and luxury industries. In Antwerp, culture

  • Birthright Democracy: Nationhood and Constitutional Self-Government in History
    BIRTHRIGHT DEMOCRACY: NATIONHOOD AND CONSTITUTIONAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY By Ethan Alexander-Davey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2013 Date of final oral examination: 8/16/13 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Richard Avramenko, Political Science Daniel Kapust, Political Science James Klausen, Political Science Howard Schweber, Political Science Johann Sommerville, History i Abstract How did constitutionally limited government and democracy emerge in the West? Many scholars from many different perspectives have attempted to answer this question. I identify the emergence of these forms of self-government with early modern nationalism. Broadly speaking, nationalism of the right sort provides indispensable resources both for united popular resistance against autocratic rule, and for the formation and legitimation of national systems self- governance. Resistance and self-government both require a national consciousness that includes a myth of national origin, a national language, a common faith, and, crucially, native traditions of self-government, and stories of heroic ancestors who successfully defended those traditions against usurpers and tyrants. It is through national consciousness that abstract theories of resistance and self-government become concrete and tenable. It is though national fellowship that the idea of a political nation, possessing the right to make rulers accountable to its will, comes into existence and is sustained over time. My arguments basically fall under two headings, historical and theoretical. By an examination of the nationalist political thought of early modern European countries, I intend to establish important historical connections between the rise of nationalism and the emergence of self-government.

By Alexander Lee. Brill’s Studies in Intellectual History, 210. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2012. x + 382 pp. $177. Petrarch’s opera is extensive, that of Augustine is extraordinarily vast, and the literature on both is vaster still. To bridge them successfully is a significant undertaking. Over the past fifty years, scholars have attempted this task, from classic studies by Charles Trinkaus (often discussed here) to more recent ones such as C. Quillen’s Rereading the Renaissance: Petrarch, Augustine and the Language of Humanism (1995) and M. Gill’s Augustine in the Italian Renaissance: Art and Philosophy from Petrarch to Michelangelo (2005). In a new study, Alexander Lee argues that “Petrarch’s thought on moral questions was derived principally from the writings of St. Augustine” (24). Lee contends that Petrarch, rather than being philosophically inconsistent as is often suggested, was especially influenced by Augustine’s early works, most notably the Soliloquies and the De vera religione, which provided him with an interpretive method for incorporating classical literature and philosophy into Christian moral theology.

  • Introduction – the Transformation of the Classics
    INTRODUCTION – THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE CLASSICS. PRACTICES, FORMS, AND FUNCTIONS OF EARLY MODERN COMMENTING Karl A.E. Enenkel Recently, a vivid interest in commentaries came into being, as did a sense of the important role commentaries have played in the transmission of the classical heritage, especially in the early modern period.1 Early mod- ern intellectuals rarely read classical authors in a simple and “direct” form, but generally via intermediary paratexts: dedications, prefaces, and other introductory texts; argumenta; indices; illustrations; and above all, all kinds of commentaries – annotationes, notae, commenta, commentaria, com- mentariola, animadversiones, paraphrases, etc. These intermediary texts presented the classical text to modern readers in certain ways that deter- mined and guided the reader’s perception of the text being commented upon. After all, the classical texts were composed in ages so very different from the period ca. 1450–1700. They were not only 1,000–2,000 years old, but they were written in a culture that in many respects had become alien to early modern readers. It was not self-evident to readers from 1450–1700 in what way these texts should be read, interpreted, and used. Take, for example, Martial’s Epigrams, which are full of explicit, partly homoerotic sexuality; they describe sexual practices and positions of lovemaking; they describe oral and anal sex, both heterosexual and homosexual; and many times they address pederasty. As Martial says in the first book of his Epi- grams, his ‘verses cannot please without a cock’ (‘non possunt sine mentula placere’).2 In 1450–1700, however, sexual culture was directed on the one hand by Catholic Church, which – via a long tradition – had restricted not only the representations of sexual practices but the practices themselves 1 Cf.

  • The French Connection (Part 2): Research Journal - Volume 07 - 2010 on the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Online Research Journal Article C.W.H.Gamble
    The Marlowe Society The French Connection (Part 2): Research Journal - Volume 07 - 2010 On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Online Research Journal Article C.W.H.Gamble The French Connection (Part 2) On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Introduction This article is the sequel to an essay first published in 2009 in the Online Research Journal of the Marlowe Society (Vol.6) 1, under the title The French Connection: New Leads on Monsieur Le Doux . In view of the extent of the new documentary evidence here presented, and the chronological overlap, the reader may wish to refer to the previous article for additional information on the links between “Le Doux” and Christopher Marlowe, and indeed on Marlowe’s claim to the authorship of the works of “Shake-speare”. I should begin by giving a brief outline of the background to the historical events and negotiations which are discussed in both articles, with apologies to those readers for whom this is already familiar ground: 1. In 1568 the United Provinces of the Netherlands rose in revolt against Spanish Habsburg rule. Their cause gained the open support of Queen Elizabeth during the mid-1580s; England provided both funds and military forces for the continuance of the war against Spanish occupation, a lengthy conflict which was not resolved until 1609, when peace was made with Spain. The Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux, saw service in the Netherlands under the Earl of Leicester (1585-1586) and later, in 1591, led a force into France in support of King Henri IV against the Catholic League; Essex’s brother Walter was killed at the siege of Rouen.

  • The 1588 Donations to New College Library of Thomas Martin, Lawyer and Recusant
    The 1588 Donations to New College Library of Thomas Martin, Lawyer and Recusant {Daniel Carey’s note in the current issue prompts me to a response on the donor of one of the library’s copies of Richard Hakluyt’s ‘Principal Navigations’; Arabella Milbank has been working on exactly the same donor, from a slightly different angle, and the reader will find many new discoveries on Thomas Martin in her piece, also in this issue; I am very grateful to both Carey and Milbank.} New College Library holds both the major editions of Richard Hakluyt’s famous compendium of travel narratives: 1. The Principall Navigations, Voiages and Discoveries of the English Nation (London: George Bishop and Ralph Newberie, 1589), BT 1.131.24. 2. The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation (London: George Bishop, Ralph Newberie, and Robert Barker, 1599[-1600]), BT 1.132.1-2. The second edition may well have come to the college as part of the massive set of books donated by Warden Lake in 1617, as the Benefactors Book contains in the list of his gifts (p. 61): ‘The English voyages by Hacklyet.’ We can be sure of the immediate provenance of the first edition, for it bears the stamped and gilded inscription ‘EX DONO THOME MARTINI LLD. ET A.C.W.’ on the front board. The donor of this, the 1589 edition was Thomas Martin (1520/21-1592/93), an important figure not only in the history of the college but also in public life, as a civil lawyer, M.P., prosecutor, and diplomat.

By Martin F. Ederer. Lewiston, Queenston, Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press, 2003. xviii + 337 pp. Born in Venice and recognized in his own day as a successful preacher and curialist, Domenico de’ Domenichi (1416-1478) was bishop of Torcello and then Brescia. Vespasiano da Bisticci wrote a laudatory life of Domenichi, and Paolo Cortesi praised him for his eloquence. Martin F. Ederer has sought in this study to illuminate Domenichi’s life and work by focusing on his preaching; Ederer has gathered together a great wealth of sources, focusing on over a hundred sermons or orations which are scattered throughout a number of manuscripts. The picture of Domenichi that emerges is one of an active cleric and church politician who 314 SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWS took his public presentations seriously and who had a demonstrable interest in church reform.

This dissertation argues that dedications, and the negotiations that accompanied them, reveal both contemporary perceptions of how statecraft, religion, and gender were and the political maneuvering attempting to influence how they ought to be. In particular, this dissertation provides a case study of these textual negotiations as they related to Queen Mary I. The fact that Mary received eighteen manuscript dedications and thirty-three printed book dedications shows that even by the middle of the sixteenth century manuscripts and print competed for value and prestige among patrons.

  • John Christopherson's Plutarch and the Mid-Tudor Politics of Catholic
    How to Hold Your Tongue: John Christopherson’s Plutarch and the Mid-Tudor Politics of Catholic Humanism Andrew Taylor 411 Churchill College, Cambridge If Renaissance humanists pursued eloquence, those who wished to offer their learn- ing and gift of tongues to the powerful did well to convince them of discretion’s part in speaking appositely. Keeping one’s mouth shut, or the disastrous consequences of failing to do so, is richly explored in Euripides’s Bacchae and other plays. The Greek tragedian’s sententious utterances on the subject were drawn upon by Plutarch when he composed his essay ‘On Talkativeness’ (Peri adoleschias / De garrulitate). Erasmus, who translated Euripides before moving on to Plutarch, drew heavily on De garruli- tate, as well as the Book of Sirach and the Pauline Epistles, in developing his Lingua (1525). This owed its length, and possibly its popularity, to Erasmus’s disproportion- ate treatment of the malicious tongue, a reflection of his recent troubles. His prefatory epistle identifies this diseased ‘affliction of the unbridled tongue’ as threatening ‘the total ruin and destruction of the liberal arts, good morals, civic harmony, and the authority of the leaders of the church and the princes of the realm alike’ (Collected Works of Erasmus [CWE] 29: 259-60). Plutarch, in De garrulitate as elsewhere in the Moralia, offered an appeallingly rich and urbane encounter with the works of clas- sical antiquity, especially Greek. Moreover, the length of his moral essays, as with the individual lives in the Vitae Parallelae, made both the more attractive as works to package and present in translation to those of influence who might reflect on the counsel they offered, as well as on the interests of the learned donor.
