Seventeenth- Century Portrait of Staden 137 AC KNOW LEDG MENTS It is an enormous plea sure to express our appreciation to all those who assisted us as we sought to make sense of the story of Staden’s return in the context of the opening of the Atlantic world. Because this work was a true collaboration, we would like to begin by thanking each other and acknowledging longstanding mu- tual support, from our initial conversations to our sustained writing, always across great distances. Trinity University provided the initial institutional context for our work, and our gratitude goes to Anene Ejikeme for fi rst suggesting that, as histori- ans of Germany and Brazil, we should write this book together. We especially recognize John Martin, who not only encouraged the project at every stage but has given us many insights into the early modern world. We are grateful to our respective institutions for providing settings in which to write and work. Our wonderful librarians, especially Anna Shparberg at Rice University and Claudia Funke, curator of rare books at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have provided tremendously rich resources and helped us locate essential texts. Nicholas Shumway, Dean of Humanities at Rice University, and Bill Andrews, Se nior Associate Dean of Fine Arts and the Humanities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shared a subvention that allows us to include the images that complement our text. Like Staden, we know the value of images to convey meaning, and we are fortunate to have the support of our institu- tions to enable this enrichment of the text for our readers. A conference on Hans Staden held in Wolfhagen in 2007 provided Alida the opportunity to visit Staden’s native land and to meet many of those who have worked on Staden over the past de cades. Our thanks go to Franz Obermeier and Wolfgang Schiff ner for or ga niz ing the conference and to all of the participants who shared their ideas, especially Neil Whitehead, Vanete Dutra Santana, and Marília dos Santos Lopes. Wolfgang and Barbara Schiff ner are remembered fondly for their hospitality in Wolfhagen. A trip to Munich in 2010 enabled Eve to visit xii Ac know ledg ments the Bavarian State Library (whose digital collections provided invaluable and easy access to rare texts). A special thanks goes to Chuck Weinraub for facilitating her travel. A wide network of colleagues and friends shared their ideas and served as sound- ing boards as we wrote the book in 2009 and 2010. The Helm Fellowship program at the Lilly Library at Indiana University supported two weeks of research in resi- dence in Bloomington during the summer of 2008. Christine Johnson gave us early insights into the historiography on Hans Staden, while Susan Boettcher served as a resource for sixteenth- century Hesse. Carlos Fausto helped us to understand the complex anthropological debates over cannibalism, and Felipe Vieira de Castro and Francisco Contente Domingues lent their expertise on Portuguese ships. Ruth von Bernuth and the students of the UNC graduate seminar on travel writing provided valuable insights into the narrative structure of the True History that are incorporated into chapter 3. Likewise, Rice students in Diane Wolfthal’s art his- tory seminar Multi- Cultural Eu rope critically read the fi rst draft of chapter 4; Diane fi rst suggested that we explore the images not as the work of Staden or a single artist but as the result of a collaboration. Our long- distance collaboration could not have been possible without the online workspace at Rice University created by Angela DeHart Rabuck, which allowed us to easily manage and share scores of drafts and an extensive array of sources. We would also like to thank Kim Ricker and Jean Niswonger at the GIS/Data Center at the Fondren Library at Rice University for extensive training on how to concep- tualize maps; Jean Niswonger deserves special recognition for her outstanding work in creating the maps in their fi nal form. At the Rice Digital Media Center, Lisa Spiro and Jane Zhao provided expert advice in assembling the images. Rice graduate students in history Angela Moehnke and Angela Prattas assisted us in proofreading, compiling the bibliography, and researching the images. Paul Igmundson provided helpful insights as we thought about the signifi cance of Staden’s text and the limita- tions of historical knowledge. David K. Frasier at the Lilly Library at Indiana Uni- versity was enormously helpful with our requests for images, as was Leslie Tobias Olsen at the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, and the other institu- tions who are credited in the text. The late Henry Tom at the Johns Hopkins University Press was an enthusiastic supporter of the book from the start, and we are honored to be among his last authors. Suzanne Flinchbaugh skillfully shep- herded the book to its completion with patience and good humor. We are especially grateful to Elizabeth Yoder for her deft copyediting. We thank our anonymous outside reviewer for suggesting revisions that strengthened the manuscript. We thank Daniel Rigney for a careful reading of the fi nal manuscript. Ac know ledg ments xiii Finally, we acknowledge our families— our husbands, Dan and Kevin, and our sons, August, Benjamin, Cole, Matthew, and Max— who are there whenever we return (often after long stays at libraries, archives, and our desks) and who have listened to our stories of Hans Staden with patience, shock, good humor, and love. This page intentionally left blank A NOTE ON SPELLING AND CITATION Staden’s True History is written in early modern High German, a language not easily accessible to most modern readers. The translations that appear here are our own, and we cite an online digitized version of Staden’s text for the original quotations provided in the text and footnotes.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-68575-8 - Rome's World: The Peutinger Map Reconsidered Richard J. A. Talbert Excerpt More information 1 INTRODUCTION eldom are visitors to the Manuscript Collection of Austria’s SNational Library in Vienna permitted to inspect its set of eleven parchment segments that together form an elongated, squat, and not quite complete map of the Roman world, the so-called Peutinger map. The bold manipulation of landmasses, the detailed plotting of land routes with names in Latin, and the vibrancy of the color on most of the segments are just three among the wealth of impressive features that at once strike the viewer. Here is a major map that in its reshaping of continents recalls the futuristic Atlantropa project devised by Herman Sorgel¨ (1885–1952).1 Altogether, however, it is a map without close match in any period or culture world- wide. Not least because autopsy is inevitably such a rare privilege,2 the primary purpose of this book is to render the map more widely accessible and more comprehensible with the support of up-to-date scholarship and technology. At the same time, the opportunity is taken to reconsider the map’s design, purpose, history, and significance in the light of current ideas and methods. The book proceeds on the basis of the long-standing view that the map itself is not an original creation, but a copy at several removes of a lost Roman forerunner. Such copying is the typical means by which texts from antiquity have been preserved. Even so, a vast range of classical authors’ works no longer survives.

In the first decades of the sixteenth century, it was these companies, mostly from southern Germany and the Italian city-states, who dominated the European trade in Asian and American goods, whose capital funded Spanish and Portuguese royal policies overseas, and whose agents played crucial roles in establishing the Spanish and Portuguese empires and colonial trade.

  • The Medieval and Renaissance Transmission of the Tabula Peutingeriana Patrick Gautier-Dalché
    The Medieval and Renaissance Transmission of the Tabula Peutingeriana Patrick Gautier-Dalché Translated by W. L. North from the Italian “La trasmissione medievale e rinascimentale della Tabula Peutingeriana,” in Tabula Peutingeriana. Le Antiche Vie Del Mondo, a cura di Francesco Prontera. Florence: Leo S. Olschki 2003, pp. 43-52. The Tabula Peutingeriana has been studied primarily as an image of the Roman Empire and, in particular, of its network of roads; the identification of place names and of the itineraries represented there have been the object of innumerable studies. Yet one all too often forgets that it was also a document of the Middle Ages and Renaissance that can be examined as such from the perspective of cultural history. Although it may be difficult to evaluate its significance with precision, the Tabula certainly influenced several works of descriptive geography produced during the Middle Ages, and it is really thanks to a medieval copy that we are familiar with it. From the time of its discovery by Konrad Celtes, and despite his own desire to make it rapidly available to the public, it was used by German humanists only in a sporadic and limited way until the edition of M. Welser, which appeared in 1598. It has not been noted, however, that even before Celtes’ discovery, there was already an exemplar of the Tabula that was known from a direct witness and from a partial copy. The history of the Tabula’s reception is therefore much more complex than has been thought and often far from the ingenious reconstructions formulated starting in the XVIIIth century on the basis of what were, for the most part, unfounded hypotheses.

We wake up to alarm clocks made of plastic, take showers with soaps and shampoos in plastic bottles, brush our teeth with plastic toothbrushes and this is only the beginning. Plastics expand into every aspect of our lives. Plastic has shaped daily lives in an unbelievable fashion since its creation and implementation in the early 1900s. Plastic was first created by a man named Leo Hendrik Baekeland, a Belgian-born American. Plastic has consumed lives and as a result entered into the ecosystems around us due to our wasteful society.

  • From the Venerable Bede to Konrad Peutinger
    Tp1 WHEN RECTANGLE SUPERCEDED TRIANGLE BRITANNIA IN ANCIENT TEXTS SYNOPSIS There is hidden within early texts information, which if analysed, can be used to increase our understanding of early cartography. This paper considers the possible relevance of the Venerable Bede’s concept of Britannia to cartography, his comprehension of the original data, and, why that may have affected his view of Britannia. The information also provides us with an opportunity to construct an alternative for the lost portion of the Tabula Peutingeriana, at least as it pertains to Britain, and to consider the residual areas. BACKGROUND In the sixteenth century, Konrad Peutinger, a German scholar, owned an extraordinary map or table, now known as the Tabula Peutingeriana [T.P.]. It was a single roll of parchment approximately 22 feet long and only 13 inches wide. However, it is now divided into eleven sections. From a British viewpoint it is most disappointing, the section which should contain the British Isles, the residue of France, and all of the Iberian Peninsula, is missing. The extant map or table, a medieval copy dating from around the eleventh or twelfth centuries, is probably copied from a fourth century Roman original. The dating of the original map can be made by reference to the towns and roads shown there on .The unusual method of presentation has always intrigued scholars. It is in fact a road map, a route guide containing distances between, and representations of, towns upon the major Roman roads of the fourth century. A Roman [perhaps] cartographer may have obtained from the Empire’s civil servants information on each and every road, town name and inter-distance.

  • What to Do in Rio Complete
    What to do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Downtown This is the place where you can find pretty much everything about the traditional Rio, the culture, the economics, the history. You can visit the XV Square, where you can take the ferryboat to Niterói or visit the residence of the emperors, or maybe visit the Municipal Theatre, to see a breathtaking architecture or even a marvelous play with its own opera. Lapa (MetrôRio - Cinelândia Station) The neighborhood in Rio that has the most variety of musical styles (samba, forró, MPB, blues and more recently, electronic music and rock). Famous for its nightlife, one of the striking features of the neighborhood is the harmony between the most diverse urban tribes. For the major pathways, Av. Mem de Sá, Riachuelo Street and Lavradio, spread attractions such as the Sala Cecilia Meireles, that is considered the best concert of chamber music existing in Rio, The Public Promenade, the National School of Music and the Church of Our Lady of Lapa do Desterro. It hosts Arcos da Lapa (Carioca Aqueduct), which was built in the middle of the 18th century to bring fresh water from the Carioca river to the population of the city. A bondinho (tram) leaves from a station at Lapa, crosses the aqueduct (converted to a tram viaduct in 1896) and rambles through the hilly streets of the Santa Teresa neighbourhood. National Library (MetrôRio - Cinelândia Station) The Biblioteca Nacional is the storage of the bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil. It is the world’s seventh larger library and Latin America’s number one and its collection includes over 9 million items.
