  • Modern Italian Essays Volume III
    Modern Italian Essays Volume III By William Dean Howells Modern Italian Essays Volume III GIACOMO LEOPARDI I In the year 1798, at Recanati, a little mountain town of Tuscany, was born, noble and miserable, the poet Giacomo Leopardi, who began even in childhood to suffer the malice of that strange conspiracy of ills which consumed him. His constitution was very fragile, and it early felt the effect of the passionate ardor with which the sickly boy dedicated his life to literature. From the first he seems to have had little or no direction in his own studies, and hardly any instruction. He literally lived among his books, rarely leaving his own room except to pass into his father's library; his research and erudition were marvelous, and at the age of sixteen he presented his father a Latin translation and comment on Plotinus, of which Sainte-Beuve said that "one who had studied Plotinus his whole life could find something useful in this work of a boy." At that age Leopardi already knew all Greek and Latin literature; he knew French, Spanish, and English; he knew Hebrew, and disputed in that tongue with the rabbis of Ancona. The poet's father was Count Monaldo Leopardi, who had written little books of a religious and political character; the religion very bigoted, the politics very reactionary. His library was the largest anywhere in that region, but he seems not to have learned wisdom in it; and, though otherwise a blameless man, he used his son, who grew to manhood differing from him in all his opinions, with a rigor that was scarcely less than cruel.

  • A Florentine Diary
    THE LIBRARIES A FLORENTINE DIARY A nderson SAVONAROLA From the portrait by Fra Bartolomeo. A FLORENTINE DIARY FROM 1450 TO 1516 BY LUCA LANDUCCI CONTINUED BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER TILL 1542 WITH NOTES BY IODOCO DEL B A D I A 0^ TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN BY ALICE DE ROSEN JERVIS & PUBLISHED IN LONDON IN 1927 By J. M. DENT & SONS LTD. •8 *« AND IN NEW YORK BY « « E. P. DUTTON & COMPANY TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE ALTHOUGH Del Badia's ample and learned notes are sufficient for an Italian, it seemed to me that many allu­ sions might be puzzling to an English reader, especially to one who did not know Florence well; therefore I have added short notes on city-gates, churches and other buildings which now no longer exist; on some of the festivals and customs; on those streets which have changed their nomenclature since Landucci's, day; and also on the old money. His old-fashioned spelling of names and places has been retained (amongst other peculiarities the Florentine was in the habit of replacing an I by an r) ; also the old calendar; and the old Florentine method of reckoning the hours of the day (see notes to 12 January, 1465, and to 27 April, 1468). As for the changes in the Government, they were so frequent and so complex, that it is necessary to have recourse to a consecutive history in order to under­ stand them. A. DE R. J. Florence 1926. The books to which I am indebted are as follows: Storia della Repubblica di Firenze (2 vols.), Gino Capponi.

    Ranuzzi Family: A Preliminary Inventory of Their Manuscripts at the Harry Ransom Center Descriptive Summary Creator: Ranuzzi Family Title: Ranuzzi Family Manuscripts Dates: circa 1450-1755 Extent: 623 bound volumes, 4 oversize folders Abstract: This collection contains manuscripts, printed materials, scribal copies of books, more than 100 engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and watercolor sketches, and papal bulls documenting some 400 years of the political, religious, and cultural climate of Bologna, Italy. Major subjects included in the collection are history, literature, the sciences, church and government affairs, law, geography, and numismatics. Call Number: Manuscript Collection MS-03401 Language: Italian Access: Open for research Administrative Information Acquisition: Purchase, 1968 Processed by: Maria X. Wells and John Kirkpatrick. The information in this finding aid was originally contained in a card catalog and two supplementary typescripts. These were scanned and edited into this form by Debbie Guidry and Joan Sibley. Repository: Harry Ransom Center, The University of Texas at Austin Ranuzzi Family Manuscript Collection MS-03401 Scope and Contents In 1968 the Ransom Center purchased 620 volumes of manuscripts and printed matter collected by the Ranuzzi family of Bologna, Italy, that reflect some 400 years of Bolognese political, religious, and cultural life. While the collection dates from a group of medical manuscripts gathered by Antonio Ranuzzi, a physician and scholar, it was Count Vincenzo Antonio Ranuzzi (1658-1726) who was largely responsible for the formation of the Ranuzzi Library. Through the influence of his grandfather, the Marquis Ferdinando Cospi, who spent the major part of his life at the court of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, Count Ranuzzi was received in 1671 as a Page to Prince Ferdinand de Medici.

(11 x 8 inches). cxxxii pp. Illustrated with 3 engraved vignettes by Francesco Novelli. Contemporary decorated paste-paper boards, some minor wear but a very good, sound copy in an original binding. First Edition. This work on early printing in Genoa, Pavia, and Brescia is Boni's attempt to arrange in chronological order the books that came from the presses in these three cities during the incunable period. He records and describes 125 titles and provides bibliographical reference to support his attributions. This work is fully indexed and is beautifully printed by Carlo Palese and illustrated with high quality engravings by Novelli. Mauro Boni (1746-1817), was one of Italy's most industrious bibliographers and antiquaries working in the second half of the 18th century. Educated by the Jesuits in the classics and theology, Boni demonstrated an appetite for research and a willingness to collaborate, that created many opportunities for him to participate with some of most notable literary figures of the time. His collaboration with Bartolomeo Gamba to create an Italian edition of Harwood's Views on the Various Editions of the Greek and Roman Classics, resulted in a much-expanded text listing over 7500 titles.

  • Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L
    Early Modern Women: An Interdiciplinary Journal 2006, vol. 1 Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L. Baskins wo pictures, today in Dublin at the National Gallery of Ireland, Tserved originally as the front panels of a pair of fifteenth-century Florentine cassoni, or wedding chests, made as containers for the dowry goods of brides.1 These panels represent the Conquest of Pisa in 1406 (figures 1 and 2) and the Battle of Anghiari that took place in 1440 (figure 3). No documentation has yet come to light to inform us about the artist or artists responsible for these pictures or the commission to paint them. The style of the panels suggests a date circa 1460. The subject matter and the heraldry represented point to the Capponi family as likely patrons.2 The Conquest of Pisa features a foreground frieze of soldiers on horseback and on foot, with the tents of their encampment visible along the bottom perimeter of the panel. The city of Florence is seen at the upper left, identified by civic monuments including the Duomo and the tower of the Palazzo della Signoria. Opposite Florence we find a large cityscape of Pisa, including its most famous landmark, the Leaning Tower. The Conquest of Pisa represents the climactic entry of Florentine troops through the gate of S. Marco and the replacement of the Pisan standard with the lily of Florence. Located precisely in the middle ground of the composition, just outside the walls of the conquered city, almost lost amid the chaos of battle, are two groups of women and children, the “useless mouths” (bocche inutili).

Ganz Mittelitalien erscheint einige Jahrzehnte hin- durch von einem nahezu einheitlichen Stil beherrscht, dessen Haupt- faktoren toskanischer Herkunft sind: Perino del Vaga und seine Schüler auf der einen, Michelangelo und sein Nachahmerkreis auf der anderen Seite. Für Florenz und seine fernere selbständige Ent- wicklung bedeuten jene Jahrzehnte trotz äusserlichen Glanzes eine furchtbare Krise. Die besten Kräfte streben auseinander, verlieren sich in dem Getriebe anderer Schulen , und w-ährenddessen be- mächtigt sich der fürstliche Absolutismus der noch vorhandenen Kräfte , um sie in den Dienst seiner persönlichen Interessen zu stellen. Cosimos organisatorisches Geschick ist nicht zu leugnen, aber ebensowenig lässt sich das Künstliche , Emporkömmlingshafte in seinem Verhältnis zur bildenden Kunst übersehen. Selber auto- kratisch veranlagt, begünstigt er in den umfangreichen Aufgaben, die er seinen Künstlern stellt, das schrankenlose Vorherrschen eines einzigen Willens. Daher das ungesunde Überwiegen des persön- lichen Einflusses eines Künstlers wie Vasari, der mit seiner eklek- tischen Manier nicht nur den Stil, sondern auch die Aufgaben der Florentiner Malerei auf lange hinaus monopolisiert hat.

  • Much Ado About Nothing Leonardo's Fight for the Standard*
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Helas, Philine u.a. (Hrsg.): Bild-Geschichte : Festschrift für Horst Bredekamp, Berlin 2007, S. 397-412 Frank Fehrenbach Much ado about nothing Leonardo's Fight for the Standard* The Sala del Consiglio Maggiore, an appendix to the time-honored Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, is the major architectural remnant of Savonarola's theo­ cratic regime. After the prophet's inglorious end, the Great Hall became the parliament of the renewed republic. Decisions to decorate it with a republican program included an altar, the throne of the head of government, the Gonfalo­ niere della Giustizia or banner­bearer of justice, sculptures, and two colossal wall paintings. These paintings should intensify republican feelings through their subjects: two historical battles, glorious victories of the city before the Medici took more and more command. The government was lucky to commis­ sion the first part of the work to the most famous painter of Italy, the Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, who just turned from Milan, where he spent about eighteen years, ultimately expelled by the troops of the French King in 1499. The other battle piece should have been painted by a most promising young artist, Michel­ angelo, whose colossal marble David was at about the same time decided to adorn the facade wall of the town hall, as a republican symbol of fearless youth overcoming the giant.
