Weber, Dean of the Graduate School iii CURRICULUM VITAE Ranieri Moore Cavaceppi was born in Rome, Italy on October 11, 1965, and moved to Washington, DC at the age of ten. A Fulbright Fellow and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Ranieri received an M.A. in Italian literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996, whereupon he began his doctoral studies at Brown University with an emphasis on medieval and Renaissance Italian literature. Returning home to Washington in the fall of 2000, Ranieri became the father of three children, commenced his dissertation research on Knights Hospitaller, and was appointed the primary full-time instructor at American University, acting as language coordinator for the Italian program. iv PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I deeply appreciate the generous help that I received from each member of my dissertation committee: my advisor Ronald Martinez took a keen interest in this project since its inception in 2004 and suggested many of its leading insights; my readers Evelyn Lincoln and Ennio Rao contributed numerous observations and suggestions. Without their steadfast guidance, the clarity and scope of my work would have suffered enormously. I would also like to thank the members of the Italian Department at Brown University, especially Massimo Riva and Mona Delgado, for their unfailing support during my years as a graduate student. I also wish to thank the Graduate School for promoting advanced research in the humanities. In Washington, DC, I would like to thank William Kloman for tirelessly proofreading my work. I also need to thank Damon Smith for correcting all of my Latin translations. I am deeply grateful to American University for nurturing my teaching career while providing me with wonderful library resources. I wish to thank the many scholars, both in Italy and the United States, too numerous to name, who kindly shared with me advice and encouragement. Last but not least, I would like to recognize the great contribution of my family, my wife Hilary Dove and my children Francesca, Orlando, and Sebastian, whose encouragement, love, and support made this work possible. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Signature page ...................................................................................................................iii Curriculum

    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink.

  • Jews on Trial: the Papal Inquisition in Modena
    1 Jews, Papal Inquisitors and the Estense dukes In 1598, the year that Duke Cesare d’Este (1562–1628) lost Ferrara to Papal forces and moved the capital of his duchy to Modena, the Papal Inquisition in Modena was elevated from vicariate to full Inquisitorial status. Despite initial clashes with the Duke, the Inquisition began to prosecute not only heretics and blasphemers, but also professing Jews. Such a policy towards infidels by an organization appointed to enquire into heresy (inquisitio haereticae pravitatis) was unusual. In order to understand this process this chapter studies the political situation in Modena, the socio-religious predicament of Modenese Jews, how the Roman Inquisition in Modena was established despite ducal restrictions and finally the steps taken by the Holy Office to gain jurisdiction over professing Jews. It argues that in Modena, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Holy Office, directly empowered by popes to try Jews who violated canons, was taking unprecedented judicial actions against them. Modena, a small city on the south side of the Po Valley, seventy miles west of Ferrara in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, originated as the Roman town of Mutina, but after centuries of destruction and renewal it evolved as a market town and as a busy commercial centre of a fertile countryside. It was built around a Romanesque cathedral and the Ghirlandina tower, intersected by canals and cut through by the Via Aemilia, the ancient Roman highway from Piacenza to Rimini. It was part of the duchy ruled by the Este family, who origi- nated in Este, to the south of the Euganean hills, and the territories it ruled at their greatest extent stretched from the Adriatic coast across the Po Valley and up into the Apennines beyond Modena and Reggio, as well as north of the Po into the Polesine region.

  • Los Grandes Maestres Españoles De La Orden De Malta
    LOS GRANDES MAESTRES ESPAÑOLES DE LA ORDEN DE MALTA Óscar de Ascoz y Planes Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia I.- UNA ORDEN MEDIEVAL. DE JERUSALÉN A MALTA. LA FIGURA DEL GRAN MAESTRE. El 15 de febrero del año 1113, el Papa Pascual II promulgó la bu- la Piae Postulatio voluntatis. Con este acto se reconocía la existencia canónica de la orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén, comen- zando así una historia casi milenaria que llega hasta nuestros días. No eran aquellos tiempos unos momentos fáciles para la cris- tiandad: el siglo XI constituye un periodo clave en la evolución de lo que hoy se conoce como occidente europeo. El debilitamiento del principio romanista de autoridad provocó la anarquía, y contra la amenaza del orden social y de la estabilidad política se levantó la Iglesia: a través de una profunda reforma de sus estructuras internas procuró ocupar los vacíos de poder creados por el debilitamiento de la autoridad pública y, desde ellos, contribuyó a vertebrar de nuevo la sociedad. En este con- texto, el de una sociedad feudal que comenzaba por influencia de la Iglesia a cristianizar sus lazos de dependencia y a sacralizar el princi- pio de jerarquía, es en el que nacen, a principios del siglo XII, las más primitivas órdenes militares, entre ellas la orden de San Juan1. Los orígenes de la orden son conocidos y se deben a la trasmisión realizada por el arzobispo Guillermo de Tiro. Este prelado comienza narrando gráficamente cómo la zona de Tierra Santa, junto con Siria y Egipto, se hallaba en poder de los infieles y hasta allí acudía en pere- grinación un grupo de comerciantes italianos de Amalfi, ciudad vecina 1 Carlos de AYALA MARTÍNEZ, Las órdenes militares hispánicas en la Edad Me- dia (siglos XII-XV), Madrid, 2003, pp.

  • Borso D'este, Venice, and Pope Paul II
    I quaderni del m.æ.s. – XVIII / 2020 «Bon fiol di questo stado» Borso d’Este, Venice, and pope Paul II: explaining success in Renaissance Italian politics Richard M. Tristano Abstract: Despite Giuseppe Pardi’s judgment that Borso d’Este lacked the ability to connect single parts of statecraft into a stable foundation, this study suggests that Borso conducted a coherent and successful foreign policy of peace, heightened prestige, and greater freedom to dispose. As a result, he was an active participant in the Quattrocento state system (Grande Politico Quadro) solidified by the Peace of Lodi (1454), and one of the most successful rulers of a smaller principality among stronger competitive states. He conducted his foreign policy based on four foundational principles. The first was stability. Borso anchored his statecraft by aligning Ferrara with Venice and the papacy. The second was display or the politics of splendor. The third was development of stored knowledge, based on the reputation and antiquity of Estense rule, both worldly and religious. The fourth was the politics of personality, based on Borso’s affability, popularity, and other virtues. The culmination of Borso’s successful statecraft was his investiture as Duke of Ferrara by Pope Paul II. His success contrasted with the disaster of the War of Ferrara, when Ercole I abandoned Borso’s formula for rule. Ultimately, the memory of Borso’s successful reputation was preserved for more than a century.

  • Reading Medieval Studies Dante's Francesca and the Poet's Attitude
    READING MEDIEVAL STUDIES DANTE'S FRANCESCA AND THE POET'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS COURTLY LITERA TURE In the De Vulgori Eloquentio, Donte speaks of the supremacy of the langue d'ail where prose is concerned: 'propter sui faciliorem ac delecto­ biliorem vulgoritatem quicquid redactum sive inventum ad vulgore prosaycum, suum est: videlicet Biblia cum Troianorum Romonorumque gestibus com­ pilato et Arturi regis amboges pulcerrime et quomplures alie ystorie DC doctrine.' 1 The epithet pulcerrime stonds in intriguing opposition to the possible condemnation of the Arthur~an romances contained in Francesco do Rimini's finol speech in Inferno V. Of COlme, pulcerrime is not a moral iudgment; but for the loter Dante at least, aesthetic beauty and goodness could not be divorced. This brings us immediately to the problem of dating the Inferno. believe that the Comedy cannot have been conceived in the form we know it before or during the composition of the De Vu lgari Eloquentia, where the canzone reigns supreme and the poet draws up a retrospective balance­ ~ For reasons expounded elsewhere, I am convinced that the first cantos of the Inferno were written after the celebration of Aeneas's descent to the underworld in the Convivio; in on ideal scheme, shortly afterwards. 3 It is therefore likely that the fifth canto of the Inferno was written four or five years after the passage quoted from the DV~ this space of time, did Dante change his attitude towards courtlY'lTteroture or 'fiction' in general?
