  • Pope John the Twenty-Third and Master John Hus of Bohemia
    POPE JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD AND MASTER JOHN HUS OF BOHEMIA POPE JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD AND MASTER JOHN HUS OF BOHEMIA BY EUSTACE J. KITTS A. UTHOR OF 'IN THE DAYS OF THE COUNCILS' ILLUSTRATED LONDON CONSTABLE AND COMPANY LIMITED 10 ORANGE STREET LEICESTER SQUARE 1910 INTRODUCTION IN this book I have endeavoured to narrate the five years' history of three men and a movement; the men are Pope John the Twenty-third, John Hus, the patriot reformer of Bohemia, and Sigismund, King of the Romans; and the movement is the conciliar movement up to the middle of the year 1415. I have already, in my book entitled In the Days ef the Councils, given the history of Baldassare Cossa, who became Pope John the Twenty-third, up to the death of Pope Alexander the Fifth. Baldassare Cossa was in no sense a hero; there were indeed very few heroes in those days. One thing which makes history so much more interesting than fiction is that the characters have their human frailties as well as their human virtues. 'Il n'y a pas,' says M. Boissier, 'de gens parfaits que dans les romans.' Baldassare Cossa was simply a strong man placed in a position for which he had striven hut for which he was eminently unfit, struggling with adversity. It is in the struggle that the interest of his story lies. Up till the battle of Rocca Secca all went well with him; after that, Fate was consistentlv against him. He had the misfortune to have for an enemy one of the foremost literary men of his time; and literary men then said all that they knew was true, all that they thought was true, and much that they hoped was true.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Cotignola was strictly limited to the “villa” because the Descriptio assigns a re- markable number of ‘hearths’ to it, all of 144 focularia2 i.e. tax-paying family units, a considerable number for a late fourteenth century rural location in Romagna.3 In fact, in those days this ‘almost village’ must already have had a defensive wall build by the inhabitants of Faenza and Forlì in 1276, most prob- ably not a wall with a moat but a strong enclosure made of wood, or an em- bankment.4 The castrum may have been degraded to ‘villa’ because of the dire condition it was in when Anglic’s official visited, which is quite easy to imagine in consideration of the fact that the nearby Senio river must have frequently subjected the settlement to the perils of destructive floods.

    THE PAINTERS OF THE SCHOOL OF FERRARA BY EDMUND G. .GARDNER, M.A. AUTHOR OF "DUKES AND POETS IN FERRARA" "SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA" ETC LONDON : DUCKWORTH AND CO. NEW YORK : CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO FRANK ROOKE LEY PREFACE Itf the following pages I have attempted to give a brief account of the famous school of painting that originated in Ferrara about the middle of the fifteenth century, and thence not only extended its influence to the other cities that owned the sway of the House of Este, but spread over all Emilia and Romagna, produced Correggio in Parma, and even shared in the making of Raphael at Urbino. Correggio himself is not included : he is too great a figure in Italian art to be treated as merely the member of a local school ; and he has already been the subject of a separate monograph in this series. The classical volumes of Girolamo Baruffaldi are still indispensable to the student of the artistic history of Ferrara. It was, however, Morelli who first revealed the importance and significance of the Perrarese school in the evolution of Italian art ; and, although a few of his conclusions and conjectures have to be abandoned or modified in the light of later researches and dis- coveries, his work must ever remain our starting-point. vii viii PREFACE The indefatigable researches of Signor Adolfo Venturi have covered almost every phase of the subject, and it would be impossible for any writer now treating of Perrarese painting to overstate the debt that he must inevitably owe to him.

  • Leardo Mascanzoni Muzio Attendolo Da Cotignola, Capostipite Degli Sforza*
    Leardo Mascanzoni Muzio Attendolo da Cotignola, capostipite degli Sforza* [A stampa in “Nuova Rivista Storica”, LXXXIX-I (Gennaio-Aprile 2005), pp. 55-82 © dell’autore – Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”]. Il 10 aprile dell’anno 1500 Ludovico Sforza detto “il Moro”, a capo del ducato di Milano in guerra contro Venezia e contro Luigi XII re di Francia, incalzato dalle truppe nemiche di Gian Giacomo Trivulzio ed ormai senza speranza di successo, tentò la fuga tra i suoi mercenari svizzeri mescolato fra di loro e vestito come un umile fante. Presto riconosciuto, fu fatto prigioniero ed inviato in Francia dove morì otto anni più tardi. Lo spettacolo del suo travestimento e della sua cattura fu, a detta del Guicciardini, «sì miserabile che commosse le lacrime insino a molti degli inimici»1. Questa scena, che ci si incide nella memoria per il senso di pathos e di dramma che da essa promana, sembrò prefigurare l’inevitabile tracollo di casa Sforza. Invece le cose andarono diversamente ed i dinasti milanesi riuscirono, seppure a stento, a mantenersi in sella ancora per qualche decennio, fino al 1535. Colui dal quale tutto aveva preso le mosse, il capostipite della casata destinata a dominare Milano era stato quel Giacomuccio degli Attendoli, più noto col diminutivo di Muzio e col nomignolo, poi nobilitato in cognome, di “Sforza” affibbiatogli con tutta probabilità dal grande Alberico da Barbiano nella cui leggendaria compagnia di S. Giorgio egli aveva fatto le sue prime prove. “Sforza” a significare colui che è forte, virile, che ha coraggio e non si piega; o, anche, prepotente, come sembra adombrare una storia che attribuisce il soprannome alla violenza con cui avrebbe reclamato una parte di bottino maggiore di quella che gli era stata assegnata2.

  • Bologna and Its Porticoes: a Thousand Years' Pursuit of the “Common
    Quart 2020, 3 PL ISSN 1896-4133 [s. 87-104] Bologna and its porticoes: a thousand years’ pursuit of the “common good” Francesca Bocchi Università di Bologna Rosa Smurra Università di Bologna Bologna from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages It is well known that Bologna boasts a remarkable architectural feature that distinguishes it from other European cities and towns1: the long sequence of façade porticoes lining most of its streets, both in the historic city centre and in parts of the suburbs. To those born in Bologna or who have lived there for many years, this distinctive characteristic seems obvious, but it did not appear by chance nor over a short time. It was the result of a long process that has its origins almost a thousand years ago, when documentary evidence shows that certain dwellings were built with porticoes and, more interestingly, these porticoes, for both private and public use, were built not on public land but on private property. In order to understand the evolution of this complex property law system, it is necessary to outline the phases of urban development, determined by political, social and economic factors, adapting the urban fabric to various needs over a long period of time spanning from the crisis of late antiquity to the 13th and 14th centuries [Fig. 1]. The Roman city of Bononia was a well laid out settlement, extending over an area of about 40 ha [Fig. 1A]. Cardines and decumani formed an orthogonal plan where archaeological research shows that the dwellings were built without porticoes2. The political and economic crisis affecting the Roman Empire from the 3rd century onwards reached both town and country: Bononia also felt it severely.
