In this article I shall present, in Space the first part, the importance of the concept of a three-dimensional space which is regarded as a body, Geometry as opposed to the Aristotelian two-dimensional space or interval, in Patrizi’s discussion of physical space. Mathematics This point, I shall argue, is an essential part of Patrizi’s overall critique of Aristotelian science, in which Aristotle Epicurean, Stoic, and mainly Neoplatonic elements were brought together, in what seems like an original Proclus theory of space and a radical revision of Aristotelian physics. Moreover, I shall try to show Patrizi’s dia- lectical method of definition, his geometrical argumentation, and trace some of the ideas and terms used by him back to Proclus’ Commentary on Euclid. This text of Proclus, as will be shown in the second part of the article, was also important for Patrizi’s discussion of mathematical space, where Patrizi deals with the status of mathematics and redefines some mathematical concepts such as the point and the line accord- ing to his new theory of space.

  • Andrea Corsali and the Southern Cross
    Andrea Corsali and the Southern Cross Anne McCormick Hordern House 2019 1 In 1515 Andrea Corsali, an Italian under the patronage of the Medici family, accompanied a Portuguese voyage down the African coast and around the Cape of Good Hope, en route to Cochin, India. On his return Corsali’s letter to his patron describing the voyage was published as a book which survives in only a handful of copies: CORSALI, Andrea. Lettera di Andrea Corsali allo Illustrissimo Signore Duca Iuliano de Medici, Venuta Dellindia del Mese di Octobre Nel M.D.XVI. [Colophon:] Stampato in Firenze per Io. Stephano di Carlo da Pavia. Adi. xi.di Dicembre Nel. M.D.XV1. This book included the earliest illustration of the stars of the Crux, the group of stars today known as the Southern Cross. This paper will explore the cultural context of that publication, along with the significance of this expedition, paying attention to the identification and illustration of the stars of the Southern Cross; in particular, I shall investigate why the book was important to the Medici family; the secrecy often attaching to geographical information acquired during the Age of Discovery; Andrea Corsali’s biography; and printing in Florence at this period; and other works issued by the printer Giovanni Stefano from Pavia. Corsali’s discoveries, particularly the ground-breaking astronomical report and illustration of the Southern Cross off the Cape of Good Hope, remained a navigational aid to voyages into the Southern Ocean and on to The East and the New World for centuries to follow, and ultimately even played a part in the European discovery of Australia.

  • The Fate of Johannes Sambucus' Library
    HStud 30 (2016)2, 155–166 DOI: 10.1556/044.2016.30.2.2 THE FATE OF JOHANNES SAMBUCUS’ LIBRARY NOÉMI VISKOLCZ University of Miskolc [email protected] Some of the manuscripts and books of the Hungarian humanist, Johannes Sambu- cus (1531‒1584) are still kept in Vienna, in the Austrian National Library. A source of information puts a new light on the sale and reception of his library. In his last will made in 1583, Sambucus left his library, the manuscripts he still owned and his maps to his son, in 1584, not long after his death, his widow started negotiations about selling them to the Emperor Rudolf II. However, the data clearly suggest that Sambucus’ library did not become en bloc part of the Imperial Library, if the purchase took place at all: only 44 years after Sambucus’ death was a certain part of his library bought by Sebastian Tengnagel for both the Imperial Library and him- self. Another result of the research confi rms that the philologist Sambucus cannot be separated from the book and manuscript collector Sambucus, and the examples presented here justify why it is worth involving in the research the extant books of the Hungarian humanist. Keywords: Johannes Sambucus, library, Sebastian Tengnagel, Humanism, Greek language books, Hofbibliothek, Vienna Some of the manuscripts and books of the Hungarian humanist, Johannes Sam- bucus (1531‒1584) are still kept in Vienna in the Austrian National Library. Hans Gerstinger, Pál Gulyás, Franz Unterkircher, and recently Gábor Almási have all intensively studied the fate of Sambucus’ manuscripts and books, and the history of the library,1 which can be summarised as follows: due to his dire fi nancial situ- ation, in 1570 Sambucus had already offered part of his valuable manuscripts – 360 of which were written in Greek (including several unpublished texts) and 140 in Latin – to emperor Maximilian I, asking 5 ducats for each volume and a total of 2500 ducats.

  • La Lingua Litteraria Di Guarino Veronese E La Cultura Teatrale a Ferrara Nella Prima Metà Del XV Secolo
    Annali Online di Ferrara - Lettere Vol. 2 (2009) 225/256 DOMENICO GIUSEPPE LIPANI La lingua litteraria di Guarino Veronese e la cultura teatrale a Ferrara nella prima metà del XV secolo 1. Etichette e identità L’etichetta è una comoda scorciatoia per riconoscere in un bailamme di oggetti simili lo scarto che irriducibilmente li diversifica, per dare conto di identità plurime ad un primo sguardo, per trovare con rapidità ciò che già si sta cercando. Per questo le etichette riportano l’estremamente peculiare, lo specifico, il distintivo. Ma le etichette, non a caso, si appiccicano, perché sono estranee e superficiali. Quando si voglia non trovare ma veramente cercare, le etichette sono inservibili. La storia del teatro ne è piena. Giusto per fare degli esempi, alle origini della ricomparsa del teatro in Occidente c’è l’etichetta dramma liturgico e all’opposto cronologico, prima dell’esplosione novecentesca, la nascita della regia. Etichette, per l’appunto, che, attaccate per indicare, hanno finito per ridurre al silenzio ogni complessità culturale sottostante. Della sperimentazione teatrale a Ferrara nel Quattrocento, di quella stagione di grande fermento culturale e di radicato progetto politico si è spesso riferito usando l’etichetta di festival plautini, creando così il vuoto prima, dopo e in mezzo alle messe in scena di Plauto e Terenzio. Come se i tempi brevi di quegli eventi spettacolari non fossero intrecciati ai tempi lunghi della vita culturale cittadina. Come ricordava Braudel, però, «tempi brevi e tempi lunghi coesistono e sono inseparabili»1 e voler vedere gli uni prescindendo dagli altri significa fermarsi alla superficie dell’etichetta.

  • Flavio Biondo's Italia Illustrata
    Week V: Set Reading – Primary Source Flavio Biondo, on the revival of letters, from his Italia illustrata Editor’s Note: Flavio Biondo (1392-1463), also (confusingly) known as Biondo Flavio, was born in Forlì, near Bologna, but much of his career was spent at the papal curia, where he worked as secretary to successive Popes. At the same time, he wrote works of history and of topography. The Italia illustrata, which he worked on in the late 1440s and early 1450s, was intended to describe the geography of the regions of Italy but, in doing so, Biondo discoursed on the famous men of each region and, in the context in the section of his home region of the Romagna, provided a brief history of the revival of letters in his own lifetime. Those who truly savour Latin literature for its own taste, see and understand that there were few and hardly any who wrote with any eloquence after the time of the Doctors of the Church, Ambrose, Jerome and Augustine, which was the moment when the Roman Empire was declining – unless among their number should be put St Gregory and the Venerable Bede, who were close to them in time, and St Bernard, who was much later.1 Truly, Francesco Petrarca [Petrarch], a man of great intelligence and greater application, was the first of all to begin to revive poetry and eloquence.2 Not, however, that he achieve the flower of Ciceronian eloquence with which we see many in our own time are decorated, but for that we are inclined to blame the lack and want of books rather than of intelligence.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

  • Miscellanies’ in England
    The Circulation and Use of Humanist ‘Miscellanies’ in England DAVID RUNDLE Accepted for publication in C. Revest ed., L’essor de la rhétorique humaniste: réseaux, modèles et vecteurs [Mélanges de l’École française de Rome – Mogen Âge, cxxviii] (2016) [The version presented below has the advantage over the published version of having full footnoting, rather than endnotes with author-date citations, followed by a bibliography. At the same time, it has the disadvantage of not providing the two images included in the published article] At inordinatam istam et confusaneam, quasi silvam aut farraginem perhiberi, quia non tractim et continenter sed saltuatim scribimus et vellicatim tantum abest uti doleamus ut etiam titulum non sane alium quam Miscellaneorum exquisiverimus Politian, preface to Miscellaneorum centuria una (1489) MISCELLANY n.s. A mass formed out of various kinds Samuel Johnson, A Dictionary of the English Language (1755) You might be forgiven for assuming from the title that this brief article can be an exhaustive survey of everything there is to know on its topic. After all, England is often presented as living beyond the infection zone which submitted to the studia humanitatis, at least in its first generations, a land where a couple of princes and only a few more bishops showed any interest in the intellectual novelties being wrought in Italy. It is true that the Britanni – penitus toto orbe divisi – offered up far fewer young men than the Germans to be educated at the universities of the peninsula and there to succumb to the new literary fashions. It is also the case that the English presence at the papal curia was less substantial than for those nations which were both more populous and physically closer to the epicentre of western Christendom.

Reasons for starting the study programme The idea of organizing Philosophy studies has been present ever since the foundation of the Department of Humanities in Split. The development of the Humanities and Social Studies was unthinkable without philosophy and the foundation of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split became meaningful upon establishing Philosophy studies. The study of philosophy is further justified by the fact that, apart from Split, the most southern city providing the opportunity of studying philosophy is Zadar which is at the very north of the Middle Dalmatia.

  • European Latin Drama of the Early Modern Period in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
    1 European Latin Drama of the Early Modern Period in Spain, Portugal and Latin America Joaquín Pascual Barea Introduction In the Hispanic Neo-Latin theatre, ancient drama converged with cultured and popular medieval genres such as elegiac comedy, debates and religious performances, as well as humanistic comedy from Italy and from the Low Countries, and other dramatic, poetic and oratorical genres from the Modern Age. Before a historical survey, we also analyze the influence of Aristotle’s and Horace’s poetics and of ancient drama on Neo-Latin drama, paying particular attention to the structure, the number of acts, the characters, the use of prose or verse, and the main dramatic genres. The History of Neo-Latin drama in Iberia and Latin America has been divided into four periods. During the reign of the Catholic Kings (1479–1516), the first Latin eclogues and dialogues produced in Spain, and the works of Hercules Florus and Johannes Parthenius de Tovar in the Kingdom of Aragon deserve our interest. Under the King and Emperor Charles (1516–1556), we consider the main authors of Neo-Latin drama: Joannes Angelus Gonsalves and Joannes Baptista Agnesius in Valencia, and Franciscus Satorres in Catalonia; Joannes Maldonatus in Salamanca and Burgos; Joannes Petreius at the University of Alcalá de Henares, and Franciscus Cervantes de Salazar in Mexico, as well as Didacus Tevius in Portugal under John III (1521–1557). A few months before the reign of King Sebastian in Portugal and King Philip in Spain (1556–1598), the Society of Jesus started their dramatic activity in the different provinces of Iberia: Portugal, Andalusia, Castile, Toledo and Aragon.
