The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01323-0 - The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B. Hall and Tracy E. Cooper Frontmatter More information THE SENSUOUS IN THE COUNTER-REFORMATION CHURCH This book examines the promotion of the sensuous as part of religious experience in the Roman Catholic Church of the early modern period. During the Counter-Reformation, every aspect of religious and devotional practice, including the role of art and architecture, was reviewed and the invocation of the fi ve senses to incite devotion became a hotly contested topic. Protestants condemned the material cult of veneration of relics and images, rejecting the importance of emotion and the senses and instead promoting the power of rea- son in receiving the Word of God. After much debate, the Church concluded that the senses are necessary to appreciate the sublime and that they derive from the Holy Spirit. As part of its attempt to win back the faithful, the Church embraced the sensuous and promoted the use of images, relics, liturgy, proces- sions, music, and theater as important parts of religious experience. Marcia B. Hall is The Carnell Professor of Renaissance Art History and Dir- ector of Graduate Studies at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She is the author and editor of several books, including The Sacred Image in the Age of Art: Titian, Tintoretto, Barocci, El Greco, Caravaggio ; After Raphael ; and Renovation and Counter Reformation: Vasari and Duke Cosimo in Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, 1564–77 .

Transoceanic trade routes compounded travel over land for commercial gain, and the distribution of wares took on global dimensions. Precious metals, spices, textiles, and, later, slaves were among the myriad commodities transported from west to east and in some cases back again. Taste followed trade—or so the story tends to be told. This lecture addresses the traffic in global goods in the Dutch world from a different perspective—piracy. “A Taste for Piracy in the Dutch Republic” will present and explore exemplary narratives of piracy and their impact and, more broadly, the contingencies of consumption and taste- making as the result of politically charged violence. Inspired by recent scholarship on ships, shipping, maritime pictures, and piracy this lecture offers a new lens onto the culture of piracy as well as the material goods obtained by piracy, and how their capture informed new patterns of consumption in the Dutch Republic.

    THE LOST MANUSCRIPTS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI A history of Leonardo da Vinci’s manuscripts and a calculation of how many remain lost by RICHARD SHAW POOLER Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject of ART HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Promoter: Prof Bernadette Van Haute -------------------------------------- OCTOBER 2014 DECLARATION I declare that THE LOST MANUSCRIPTS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated or acknowledged by means of complete references. ……………………………. Richard Shaw Pooler Date ………………………….. Title: THE LOST MANUSCRIPTS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI A history of Leonardo da Vinci’s manuscripts and a calculation of how many remain lost Summary: This thesis investigates the history of Leonardo da Vinci’s manuscripts, explains the recovery of some of those that were lost, and calculates what proportion of his work remains lost. It does this by researching the following four main topics: the compilation of his manuscripts; the dispersal and loss of his manuscripts; the recovery and reconstruction of some manuscripts; and an estimate of what remains lost. Most of Leonardo’s manuscripts were written in the last thirty years of his life. The first part of this thesis traces which manuscripts were written and when. After his death, his manuscripts dispersed and it is not known how many were lost. The next section details the dispersal. Recovery of some manuscripts took place followed by further dispersal and loss. Part of the recovery was due to key collectors such as Pompeo Leoni.
