A lot of people say that the academic aspect of studying abroad is often very different from how we are taught in the States, because while abroad there is greater emphasis on independent explo - ration, an immersion into the culture, and more hands-on experiences. Through my Literary Travels class here at SUF, I have realized that the combination of all of these elements is what has educated me the most. Interestingly enough, one of the greatest influences that class and my edu - cational experience overall at SUF have had on me so far has not stemmed from anything relat - ing to the Italian culture, but rather from the i l l e Saunders talking with SUF students after his lecture bestselling American writer and creative writing z z a s s u professor at the G Syracuse home campus, George Saunders.

Reinert Harvard Business School Robert Fredona Harvard Business School Working Paper 18-021 Copyright © 2017 by Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

  • Storia Di Firenze Annali I 2006.Indd
    !NNALIDISTORIADIFIRENZE ) Avvertenza Le pagine a seguire forniscono, per gli anni 2001 e 2002, un elenco ordi- nato alfabeticamente per autore dei volumi, dei saggi in opere collettanee e degli articoli su riviste attinenti la storia fi orentina. Tale materiale, ugualmente suddiviso in tre sezioni, è disponibile anche nel portale «Storia di Firenze» nella sezione «Bibliografi a» dove è possibile trovare anche il link alla scheda del vo- lume disponibile nel catalogo delle case editrice (htpp://www.dssg.unifi .it/sdf/ bibliografi a.html). Nel prossimo numero degli «Annali» comparirà la bibliogra- fi a relativa al biennio 2003-2004. L’eccezionale vastità della produzione scientifi ca su Firenze e l’assenza di uno strumento unico di aggiornamento bibliografi co al riguardo, oltre ad essere il motivo essenziale di questo lavoro ne rappresenta anche il principale elemento di diffi coltà. Per gli intenti del portale, il profi lo scientifi co e gli interessi dei membri della redazione, la cultura fi losofi ca e letteraria e la storia delle arti fi - gurative risultano relativamente in secondo piano rispetto ai temi storiografi ci. La ricerca di cui queste pagine sono il frutto ha infatti integrato risorse diverse (bibliografi e on-line, siti di case editrici, segnalazioni su riviste e spogli di data- base bibliografi ci), nell’intento, non sempre di facile realizzazione, di isolare materiali propriamente riferiti alla storia di Firenze e omettendo una consimile ricerca in fonti a carattere storico-artistico o storico-letterario. Ci auguriamo che questa consapevole limitazione, anziché indebolire l’effi cacia del nostro lavoro, ne precisi la consistenza e quindi la fruibilità per i lettori.

It has been accepted for inclusion in The Catholic Lawyer by an authorized editor of St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE CASE OF THE BISHOP OF PRATO t Pro CIPROTTI* T HE TRIAL OF THE BISHOP OF PRATO is the first criminal proceeding brought in Italy since 1870 against a bishop upon the basis of an act performed by him in exercise of his functions. Accusations of "abuse of electoral propaganda" have been made on several occasions, but in each case the instructing magistrate dismissed the information upon the grounds that it failed to charge a crime. The accused bishops, therefore, were not brought to trial. It is for this reason that public opinion in Italy has been so disturbed by the trial of Bishop Fiordelli. The Facts The Bishop of Prato had been pursuing for some time a vigorous pastoral campaign to make his people mindful of the grave sin and the canonical sanctions incurred by Catholics who attempt civil marriage.' The first pastoral letter issued by Bishop Fiordelli as Ordinary of Prato, in Lent of 1955, set out the Catholic doctrine on marriage and the family tTranslation by Rev. William F.

A poco a poco egli aveva preso l’abitudine di soffermarsi sui suoi morti ad uno ad uno. E piuttosto presto nella vita aveva cominciato a pensare che andasse fatto qualcosa per loro. E loro erano lì, accanto a lui, forti di quell’essenza semplificata, più intensa, di quell’assenza consapevole, di quella pazienza eloquente, così corporei e presenti che pareva avessero sol- tanto perduto l’uso della parola.

Un libro che può essere letto in tanti modi, seguendo piste diverse, come si capisce subito dal breve intervento di Mauri- zio Bossi – indimenticabile guida del Centro Romantico – che ha coordinato la ricerca (e al quale il volume ora è dedicato): Concepito dall’Autrice per presentare e valorizzare il cimitero agli Allori come rilevante parte del patrimonio artistico fiorentino e a contempo come prezioso documento sulla variegata e ramificata presenza di stranieri a Firenze, il volume ha raggiunto questo duplice obiettivo con successo, e si offre oggi come stimolo e fonte per molteplici ricerche.
