Title: Netherlandish sculpture of the 16th century : Zestiende-eeuwse beeldhouwkunst uit de Nederlanden Author: editors, Ethan Matt Kavaler, Frits Scholten, Joanna Woodall. 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: Netherlandish culture of the sixteenth century : urban perspectives Author: edited by Ethan Matt Kavaler, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene Call Number: HT145 .N4 N46 2017 ISBN: 9782503575827
Description: A selection of essays by an international group of historians and art historians on the rich urban culture of the sixteenth-century Low Countries. 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 was commerce: its art and printing industries catered to much of the Western world and, at the same time, carved a confident self-image celebrating the liberal arts as a means of social and self-improvement. Antwerp is omnipresent in this book, with essays on its painting, printing, politics, and public festivals. But other cities such as Bruges, Leuven, and Leiden also figure prominently. It was precisely the interconnectedness of urban centers, large, middle and small, rather than their autonomous character, that defined civic culture in the Low Countries. Among the topics treated are differing notions of urban topography, the dialogue between city and court, issues of censorship, and the sensory and psychological response to texts and images.

Title: Der Mansfelder Kreuzigungs-Altar (1518/20) : Bildquelle als Spiegel der Reformation : Unterzeichnung und sichtbare Malerei Author: Sabine und Rüdiger Maier Call Number: ND588 .D675 A65 2018 ISBN: 9783795432683 Language: German / Deutsch
Description (auf Deutsch): Dank der Macro-Infrarot-Reflektographie wird die Unterzeichnung von Bildern sichtbar, die Aufschluss über den meist unbekannten Werkprozess eröffnet. Diesbezügliche Untersuchungen wurden an dem Hans Döring zugeschriebenen Kreuzigungs-Altar (1518/20) in Schloss- Mansfeld und an seinem Elisabet-Francke-Epitaph (Eisleben, 1517) vorgenommen. Döring verwendete Vorlagen, wobei er sich in kopierender oder auch freier Motivumsetzung der zeitgenössischen Graphik beidseitig der Alpen bediente. Auch der Einfluss Dürers und Cranachs zeigt sich bei Döring in einer Durchdringung beider Schulen. Als Referenz für das Werk Dörings wurden die mit HD monogrammierten Grafen- Porträts (Schloss Laubach) herangezogen. Seine Darstellungen zeigen eine deutliche Individualisierung der Frömmigkeit, wobei die reformatorische Sichtweise im Zentrum der Bildaussage steht.

Title: Theologie und Antisemitismus : das Beispiel Martin Luthers Author: Andreas Pangritz Call Number: BR333.5 .J4 P364 2017 ISBN: 9783631733653 Language: German / Deutsch
Description: (auf Deutsch): Martin Luthers Judenfeindschaft ist berüchtigt. Ihr Zusammenhang mit zentralen Themen seiner Theologie ist jedoch umstritten. Die Antisemitismusforschung wiederum hat sich bisher nur wenig für theologische Wurzeln der Judenfeindschaft interessiert. Die Untersuchung führt beide Perspektiven zusammen:
Luthers Schrift «Von den Juden und ihren Lügen» (1543) wird nicht nur im Blick auf die darin zum Ausdruck kommende Judenfeindschaft analysiert, sondern auch auf ihren theologischen Gehalt hin befragt. Dadurch verschärft sich das Problem: Der Antisemitismus ist im Zentrum der Theologie des Reformators verankert, in der Christologie und in der Rechtfertigungslehre. Diese Erkenntnis führt zu einer Sicht auf Luthers Theologie, in der diese selbst zum Problem wird.

Description: Gift to Victoria University Library. ITER.
Margaret Fell (1614–1702), one of the co-founders of the Society of Friends and a religious activist, was a prolific writer and distributor of Quaker pamphlets. This volume offers eight texts that span her writing career and represent her range of writing: autobiography, epistle or public letter, examination or record of a trial, letter to the king, and argument for women’s preaching. These selections also document Fell’s contributions to Friends’ theology, exemplify seventeenth-century women’s English-language literacy, illustrate Fell’s theories of biblical reading, and exhibit the common qualities of Quaker rhetoric.

Title: Collected works of Erasmus / Author: [editorial board, William Barker ...et al.]; Volume 18 translated by Charles Fantazzi, annotated by James M. Estes. Call Number: PA8502 .E5 1974 v.18 ISBN: 9781487501990
Description: Volume 18. The correspondence of Erasmus, letters 2472 to 2634, April 1531-March 1532. Victoria University Library stack copies are catalogued separately by title; CRRS copies are classified together but catalogued separately by title.
The aim of the Collected Works of Erasmus is to make available an accurate, readable English text of Erasmus’ correspondence and his other principal writings in an edition of 89 volumes. Erasmus was one of the architects of modern thought and his works reflect a vast range of interests including history, theology, the classics, social theory, education, political theory, literature, and the history of ideas. His letters remain the single most important source for the intellectual history of the Renaissance and Reformation. In the words of Lisa Jardine, "the Toronto Erasmus project is a magnificent achievement."
Title: The buffoons : a ridiculous comedy : a bilingual edition / Author: Margherita Costa ; edited and translated by Sara E. Díaz and Jessica Goethals. Call Number: PQ4621 .C74 B9413 2018 ISBN: 9780866987462
Description: Gift to Victoria University Library. ITER.
This translation makes The Buffoons, the first female-authored comedy printed in Italy, available to Anglophone readers for the first time. Published in 1641, this burlesque play depicts the mismatched sexual desires of a prince and princess. Although set in northern Africa, the comedy satirizes the Florentine court of Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici, one of Costa’s several elite patrons. By featuring the clownish antics of an unconventional cast of dwarfs, hunchbacks, and buffoons, it reflects the bizarre appetites and grotesque entertainments of the day. Ribald puns and commedia dell’arte-inspired slapstick abound, presenting the reader with a comic alternative to decorous women’s writing in early modern Italy.
Title: Teaching early modern English literature from the archives / Author: edited by Heidi Brayman Hackel and Ian Frederick Moulton Call Number: PR421 .T4 2015 ISBN: 9781603291552
Description: Gift to Victoria University Library. Renaissance and Reformation Journal.
The availability of digital editions of early modern works brings a wealth of exciting archival and primary source materials into the classroom. But electronic archives can be overwhelming and hard to use, for teachers and students alike, and digitization can distort or omit information about texts. Teaching Early Modern English Literature from the Archives places traditional and electronic archives in conversation, outlines practical methods for incorporating them into the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, and addresses the theoretical issues involved in studying them. The volume discusses a range of physical and virtual archives from 1473 to 1700 that are useful in the teaching of early modern literature--both major sources and rich collections that are less known (including affordable or free options for those with limited institutional resources).
Although the volume focuses on English literature and culture, essays discuss a wide range of comparative approaches involving Latin, French, Spanish, German, and early American texts and explain how to incorporate visual materials, ballads, domestic treatises, atlases, music, and historical documents into the teaching of literature.

Title: In the Sultan's Realm : two Venetian Ambassadorial Reports on the Early Modern Ottoman Empire / Author: Translated and Edited by Eric R Dursteler. Call Number: DG676.97 .T9 I5 2018 ISBN: 0772721912, 9780772721914 Language: English Description: "The final reports, or relazioni, of Venice's ambassadors are among the most noted historical documents produced in the early modern era. At the end of their service, all Venetian diplomats were expected to deliver a detailed report to the Senate of their service and an assessment of the polity to which they had been posted. Because of their incisive political analysis and rich ethnographic detail, the reports of Venice's highly experienced diplomats were greatly valued in their own day, and have been extensively used by scholars since their presentation. The two documents translated in this volume are excellent examples of these final reports, here translated in their entirety for the first time. They provide a detailed snapshot into the Ottoman Empire and its relations with Venice at a time of transition for both of these Mediterranean powers."-- "The relazioni translated in this volume draw on several archival documents: The 1609 report by Ottaviano Bon is based on the copy in the Collegio Relazioni series of the Archivio di stato di Venezia. The 1590 report by Lorenzo Bernardo is based on copies in the same Collegio Relazioni series in Venice, and in the Codici Barberini Latini at the Vatican Library. Both reports were published for the first time in Italian in Maria Pia Pedani-Fabris's important collection, Relazioni di ambasciatori veneti al Senato, which was the chief source for the present edition."--

Title: Performance and theatricality in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance / Author: Edited by Mark Cruse. Call Number: PN2171 .P47 2018 ISBN: 2503579876, 9782503579870 Language: English Description: This volume offers a panoramic mosaic of the world-making role of theater and performance in medieval and early modern European societies. This volume is a contribution to the cross-cultural study of theater and performance in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The studies gathered here examine material from Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. Underlying all of these essays is the understanding that performance shapes reality ? that in all of the cultural contexts included here, performance opened a space in which patrons, rulers, writers, painters, spectators, and readers could see themselves or their societies differently, and thereby could assume different identities or construct alternative communities. Addressing confession and private devotion, urban theater and pageantry, royal legitimacy and religious debate, and a wide range of genres and media, this volume offers a panoramic mosaic of the world-making role of theater and performance in medieval and early modern European societies.
