Front Matter Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47769-7 — Women and the Circulation of Texts in Renaissance Italy Brian Richardson Frontmatter More Information WOMEN AND THE CIRCULATION OF TEXTS IN RENAISSANCE ITALY During the Italian Renaissance, laywomen and nuns could take part in every stage of the circulation of texts of many kinds, old and new, learned and popular. This first in-depth and integrated analysis of Italian women’s involvement in the material textual culture of the period shows how they could publish their own works in manuscript and print and how they promoted the first publication of works composed by others, acting as patrons or dedicatees. It describes how they copied manuscripts and helped to make and sell printed books in collaboration with men, how they received books as gifts and borrowed or bought them, how they commissioned manuscripts for themselves and how they might listen to works in spoken or sung performance. Brian Richardson’s richly documented study demon- strates the powerful social function of books in the Renaissance: texts- in-motion helped to shape women’s lives and sustain their social and spiritual communities. brian richardson is Emeritus Professor of Italian Language at the University of Leeds.

This social turn is linked closely with the inaugural Panizzi Lectures given in the British Library by Don McKenzie in 1985. In this landmark series, entitled ‘Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts’, McKenzie challenged a traditional view that biblio- graphy is concerned only with signs written or printed on paper or vellum, and not with their meaning. Rather, he proposed, bibliography should comprehend ‘not only the technical but the social processes’ of the trans- mission of texts, ‘the human motives and interactions

  • European Medieval and Renaissance Cosmography: a Story of Multiple Voices
    Asian Review of World Histories 4:1 (January 2016), 35-81 © 2016 The Asian Association of World Historians doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12773/arwh.2016.4.1.035 European Medieval and Renaissance Cosmography: A Story of Multiple Voices Angelo CATTANEO New University of Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal [email protected] Abstract The objective of this essay is to propose a cultural history of cosmography and cartography from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries. It focuses on some of the processes that characterized these fields of knowledge, using mainly western European sources. First, it elucidates the meaning that the term cosmography held during the period under consideration, and the sci- entific status that this composite field of knowledge enjoyed, pointing to the main processes that structured cosmography between the thirteenth centu- ry and the sixteenth century. I then move on to expound the circulation of cosmographic knowledge among Portugal, Venice and Lisbon in the four- teenth and fifteenth centuries. This analysis will show how cartography and cosmography were produced at the interface of articulated commercial, dip- lomatic and scholarly networks; finally, the last part of the essay focuses on the specific and quite distinctive use of cosmography in fifteenth-century European culture: the representation of “geo-political” projects on the world through the reformulation of the very concepts of sea and maritime net- works. This last topic will be developed through the study of Fra Mauro’s mid-fifteenth-century visionary project about changing the world connectiv- ity through the linking of several maritime and fluvial networks in the Indi- an Ocean, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean Sea basin, involving the cir- cumnavigation of Africa.

  • 68 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada Xx Important As
    68 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada xx Important as they are, however, Lowry's criticisms of Aldus do not constitute the major accomplishment of his book. It is the sure hand and informed intelligence with which Aldus' time and his place in it are detailed that deserve attention and praise. Only occasionally is one reminded that Lowry is a late-comer to the field of printing history (his reference to Geofrey Tory gives the impression that he does not expect us to know who this 'antiquarian fanatic' was), but such almost invisible blemishes on an otherwise convincing and admirable text are easily forgiven. Lowry has made an important contribution to the surprisingly small body of scholarship in English on Aldus. One hopes that, having once been lured into the field of printing and bibliog- raphy, he will not abandon it for other pastures.

A cura di Privilegi librari SE nell’Italia Storia dell’editoria Erika Squassina, Andrea Ottone del Rinascimento L’avvento della stampa a caratteri mobili a metà del Quattrocento rappre- sentò per l’Europa un punto cardine non solo sul piano culturale ma anche Privilegi librari economico con la rapida espansione di un settore produttivo completa- mente nuovo. Il libro a stampa era veicolo comunicativo di contenuti testuali e, per questo, materia delicata anche sul piano politico-religioso. Con il progres- nell’Italia sivo sviluppo e consolidamento dell’industria tipografica, divenne strategico da parte degli Stati territoriali regolamentare il settore dotandolo di adeguati (a cura di) strumenti giuridici. Uno di questi fu l’istituto del privilegio librario, precursore del Rinascimento ideale del moderno copyright letterario e artistico. Nella prospettiva delle autorità territoriali, il privilegio di stampa rappresentava un mezzo per struttu- rare la neonata industria promuovendone lo sviluppo e ponendola allo stesso nell’Italia del Rinascimento librari Privilegi tempo entro argini normativi di controllo e validazione dei contenuti testuali diffusi. Nell’ottica degli operatori del settore, anzitutto autori e stampatori, il privilegio librario rappresentava invece uno strumento di protezione giuridica impiegato a tutela degli sforzi profusi e dei capitali investiti, assicurando una posizione temporanea di vantaggio commerciale. Prendendo a campione, in una prospettiva comparata, alcuni dei maggiori centri di produzione libraria dell’Italia nella prima età moderna, la presente raccolta di studi esamina il ruolo che il privilegio librario ebbe nello sviluppo dell’editoria italiana e nella crescente attenzione verso il settore da parte OPEN delle istituzioni.

  • The Mystical Dimension of Michelangelo‟S Writings
    The Mystical Dimension of Michelangelo‟s Writings by Sarah Rolfe Prodan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Italian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Rolfe Prodan 2011 The Mystical Dimension of Michelangelo‟s Writings Sarah Rolfe Prodan PhD in Italian Studies Department of Italian Studies University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the spiritual poetry of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) in light of three distinct but related contexts: Italian Evangelism of the Catholic Reformation, the Italian lauda tradition, and Renaissance Augustinianism. After reviewing the reception and critical history of Michelangelo‟s poetry, chapter one presents the anthropological approach of the present study as an effective means of illuminating the poet‟s spiritual verses by considering what they may have meant – collectively and individually – to the poet himself. Chapter two analyzes Michelangelo‟s lyrics inspired by Vittoria Colonna with respect to the Spirituali of the Ecclesia viterbiensis in general and to the Beneficio di Cristo and personal letters of Vittoria Colonna in particular. It shows that the portrayal of Vittoria Colonna in this poetry as an instrument of grace effecting Michelangelo‟s spiritual refashioning, rebirth, and renewal reflects a theology of the Holy Spirit that was dear to the Italian Evangelical community and central to their self-perception. The third chapter presents the Italian lauda tradition and its mystical verses addressing Christ and the Holy Spirit as an inspiration for Michelangelo who, in a later spiritual sonnet, borrowed directly from one of Lorenzo de‟ Medici‟s laude. This chapter shows how Michelangelo‟s verse is informed by a long, popular Christian tradition in the vernacular.

  • 1 the Settlement and Necropolis of Frascaro
    01 The Origin and Spread of Homo Sapiens The history of the genus Homo , to which our own species, Homo sapiens , belongs, is one of never- ending movements that took little groups of humans to explore and occupy new territories. They were always guided by the search for three essential resources: water, fauna and raw materials for making artefacts. The earliest members of the genus Homo emerged from Africa by 1.8 million years ago and occupied parts of Europe and Asia. Modern man ( Homo sapiens ) originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and gradually spread to all the inhabitable areas of the planet. The expansion of our species was facilitated by the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry, which developed when the last Ice Age came to an end, about 12,000 years ago. 1 Skull of Homo georgicus (cast) Turin, Museum of Human Anatomy, University of Turin Discovered in 1999 in the Dmanisi site in Georgia, the skull dates from about 1.8 million years ago. Together with other finds from the same site, it is one of the oldest specimens of a skeleton from the groups of humans who migrated from Africa to the gates of Eurasia. 01.

  • Le Rôle De L'héritage Et De L'éducation Dans L'imprimerie Vénitienne
    Camenulae 20, mai 2018 Catherine KIKUCHI TRANSMETTRE À BON ESCIENT : LE RÔLE DE L’HÉRITAGE ET DE L’ÉDUCATION DANS L’IMPRIMERIE VÉNITIENNE (1469-1530)* Les grandes dynasties familiales sont celles qui ont fait la célébrité et la prospérité de l’imprimerie en Europe. À Paris, on pense à la famille des Estienne ; à Louvain, à celle des Plantin ; à Venise, la dynastie des Manuce transmet sur trois générations un savoir- faire et une réputation d’imprimeurs humanistes. L’entreprise familiale apparaît à première vue comme une forme d’organisation du travail courante pour les imprimeurs des XVe et XVIe siècles. En réalité, celle-ci est une configuration sociale loin d’être acquise. D’après la définition qu’en donne Michael Miterrauer en 1984, une entreprise familiale nécessite à la fois la continuité économique par la transmission d’un héritage et d’un capital matériel, mais également la transmission d’un savoir-faire, l’apprentissage du métier au sein de la famille1. Cette configuration est en réalité assez rare dans l’artisanat médiéval ; alors que l’industrie du livre s’y prêterait particulièrement, en raison de la lourdeur des investissements nécessaires pour fonder un atelier, la situation n’est en réalité pas aussi simple. Pour comprendre la manière dont l’imprimerie s’organise ou non comme une entreprise familiale, il faut revenir aux études nombreuses qui ont été développées à ce sujet depuis les années 1970. En Italie, les travaux de Guido Alfani et Mathieu Scherman en particulier ont mis en lumière l’importance de la famille dans l’organisation économique2.
