Bandini, infatti, non è solo un curioso appassionato di biblioteche e di collezioni: i suoi interessi spaziano dall’archeologia alla storia naturale, dall’architettura alla vita di società. Roma, al tempo dei papi romagnoli, e in particolare di Pio VI, è un centro di straordinario rilievo, e non so- lo per la pratica diffusa della conservazione, attestata presso istituzioni e privati; il rinnovamento delle fabbriche, la presenza di artisti contempo- ranei prestigiosi, l’apertura di salotti e luoghi di lettura ne fanno un ma- gnete per i savants continentali e uno spazio unico per i frequentatori del ‘mercato delle idee’ di matrice classica, siano essi giovani religiosi di solidi studi in cerca d’un impiego o facoltosi cercatori di mirabilia e curiosa, o, ancora, individui attratti dalla corte romana e bisognosi di un’adeguata legittimazione culturale. Bandini incrocia diversi tipi umani ed ambienti; si diverte assai, accogliendo inviti e frequentando le case aristocratiche, presso le quali la conversazione – con i suoi riti – domina i pomeriggi e le serate; passa senza soluzione di continuità dalle sale animate dalle signo- re del bel mondo alle silenziose stanze delle ‘librerie’, presidiate da abati, canonici, monsignori spesso d’incredibile erudizione. E poi tocca il ver- tice del potere, avendo l’opportunità d’intrattenersi con un papa colto e bibliofilo come Pio VI, la cui pregiata raccolta personale è purtroppo an- data dispersa a causa dell'invasione francese. Il testo del Bandini è utilissimo per molte ragioni: documenta una ‘geo- grafia’ delle istituzioni culturali romane, pubbliche e private, intorno al 1780, specificando consistenza, peculiarità e accessibilità delle collezioni. Disegna un quadro della sociabilità nella Dominante, anche in questo ca- so con precisione topografica. Rivela il movente di un collezionismo dalle molte facce, sospeso fra il progetto culturale, il mercato e la Wunderkam- mer. Ritrae uno spaccato della società che ruota intorno a quello che po- tremmo definire il ‘patrimonio culturale’: una quantità considerevole di addetti, artigiani, promotori, venditori, intellettuali, religiosi, laici, sparsi in ogni strada e vicolo del centro di Roma, pronti a intercettare, intercede- Fiammetta Sabba, Angelo Maria Bandini in viaggio a Roma (1780-1781), © 2019 FUP, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International, published by Firenze University Press (www.fupress.com), ISSN 2704-5889 (online), ISBN 978-88-6453-963-8 (online PDF) X ANGELO MARIA BANDINI IN VIAGGIO A ROMA (1780-1781) re, scambiare, conoscere. Bandini, grazie alle amicizie di cui gode, fende questa folla di soggetti e di oggetti andando sempre a punto, senza sba- gliare un colpo: le sue visite sono miratissime, i suoi interlocutori adegua- tamente selezionati. Ciò nonostante, leggendo fra le pieghe di un viaggio nel corso del quale – si ha l’impressione – il protagonista non spreca un minuto, si percepisce la densità di un contesto di fatto costruito intorno a un’estetica, le cui possibili declinazioni – alta e bassa, sofisticata e tri- viale – convivono fianco a fianco. Bandini, è ovvio, plana sui giacimenti più preziosi, sorvola il mercato medio-basso delle cose e delle idee senza neppure premurarsi di descriverlo; ma s’intuisce, attraverso l’intensità di un collezionismo puntiforme, localizzato in palazzi, chiese, conventi da favola, il profilo di una ‘società del patrimonio culturale’, marcata

  • Reformation 2017 Johannes Gutenberg Handout
    FACES OF THE REFORMATION Gutenberg’s invention helped Johannes Gutenberg spread the ideas of the Reformation Born: 1395? | Mainz, Germany to the masses Died: 1468 | Mainz, Germany Could Johannes Gutenberg have known when he first conceived the idea of moveable type that it would contribute to the spread of the Reformation and the Renaissance and lead to the education of all levels of society? One might question his presence in the “Faces of the Reformation” series. But considering that his presses printed not only Luther’s 95 Theses but also the papal indulgences that sparked Luther’s polemic pen, it seems fitting that he should be included. Gutenberg was born about 1395 as the son of a metalsmith, and he became acquainted with the printing business at a very young age. His invention of the moveable type press made the mass production of books a reality that would change the world. By 1450, his new invention was operating. As with most new ideas of this scale, the road was not smooth. In 1446, Johann Fust, Gutenburg’s financial backer, won a lawsuit against him regarding repayment of the funds. Gutenberg’s employee and son-in-law, Peter SchÖffer, testified against him. Before this lawsuit was finalized, Gutenberg had printed a Latin Bible that contained 42 lines of Scripture per page. This “42-line Bible” is known as the Gutenberg Bible. The press for the Bible, Gutenberg’s masterpiece, along with a second book containing only Psalms, was lost to Fust in the court case. The Psalter was published after the court case with no mention of Gutenberg; only Fust’s and SchÖffer’s names appear as the printers.

  • Ibi Et Cor Tuum: the Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture
    Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture By Gertrude Obi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Joanna Picciotto, Chair Professor James Grantham Turner Professor Timothy Hampton Spring 2016 1 Abstract Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture by Gertrude Obi Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Joanna Picciotto, Chair My dissertation, “Ibi et cor tuum: The Twin Perils of Studium and Otium in English Renaissance Intellectual Culture,” investigates the ways in which the temptations posed by intellectual labor were conceptualized and navigated by English Renaissance humanists. The competition pitting the vita activa against the vita contemplativa, which every age—including ours—must resolve anew, generated a spate of writings engaging with the mixed legacy of classical and medieval Christian attitudes towards the cultivation of knowledge for its own sake. My first chapter traces the discourse of intellectual labor as leisure from the Aristotelian concept of schole through its transformations in the writings of Cicero, Seneca, Petrarch, and Erasmus. I discuss humanists’ attempts to draw upon traditions of monastic exemption and classical political exemption in order to add cachet and legibility to their “uselessness.” In doing so, I address the difficulties, both ideological and logistical, of integrating intellectual labor into an economic system. Chapter 2 explores the creation of an intellectual realm defined against both the (masculinized) public sphere and the (feminized) domestic sphere in More’s Utopia.

  • Interpretation of the Function of the Obelisk of Augustus in Rome from Antique Texts to Present Time Virtual Reconstruction
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-2/W11, 2019 GEORES 2019 – 2nd International Conference of Geomatics and Restoration, 8–10 May 2019, Milan, Italy INTERPRETATION OF THE FUNCTION OF THE OBELISK OF AUGUSTUS IN ROME FROM ANTIQUE TEXTS TO PRESENT TIME VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION M. Hiermanseder Hietzing Consult, Vienna, Austria - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Astronomy, Line of Meridian, Historical Texts, Archeology, Simulation, Virtual World Heritage ABSTRACT: About the astronomical use of the obelisk of Augustus on Campo Marzio in Rome, which has already been described by Pliny, well known astronomers and mathematicians like Euler, Marinoni or Poleni have given their expert opinion immediately after it's unearthing in 1748. With the prevailing opinion, based on a brief chapter in "Historia naturalis", it would constitute a line of meridian rather than a sundial, the question had been decided for more than 200 years. In 1976, however, the prominent German archeologist Edmund Buchner established once more the assumption, that the obelisk has been part of a gigantic sundial for the apotheosis of the emperor Augustus. Excavations of the German Archeological Institute in 1980/81, which brought to light parts of the inscriptions of the scale, were taken as a proof of his theory by Buchner. Since 1990 works by physicists and experts for chronometry like Schütz, Maes, Auber, et.al., established the interpretation as a line of meridian. Recent measurements and virtual reconstructions of the antique situation in 2013 provide valid evidence for this argument as well. The different approach to the problem mirrors the antagonism between interpretation of antique texts and the assessment of archeological findings in the light of far fledged historical hypotheses.

  • American Fausts
    Iulian BOLDEA, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors), DEBATING GLOBALIZATION. Identity, Nation and Dialogue AMERICAN FAUSTS Dragoș Avădanei Assoc. Prof., PhD, ”Al. Ioan Cuza” University of Iași Abstract:With one devil that is dark, ugly and frightening and another devil that is a soft-spoken stranger in a handsome buggy, and from one ŖFaustŗ that is a horrible wretched man to another one who is a decent but unlucky fellow, the Americans (i.e. Washington IrvingŕŖThe Devil and Tom Walkerŗ and Stephen Vincent BenetŕŖThe Devil and Daniel Websterŗ) projected the old German legend onto the new capitalistic patterns of the New World. The famous contract no longer includes provisions regarding unlimited knowledge, but stipulates only the possibility of accumulating wealth rapidly and also allows using the devil for the new Faustsř evil purposes (like getting rid of a termagant wife or even having the devil himself punished by jury trial in the end). Keywords: Faust, Kidd, Irving, Benet, devil, contract, trial If two stories are titled ŖThe Devil and Tom Walkerŗ and ŖThe Devil and Daniel Websterŗ (written more than a century apart, i.e. 1824 and 1936) they are bound to be not only similar, but also closely connected in their Ŗdeep structureŗ as it were. So, before we notice the differencesŕwhich are not few and also highly significantŕlet us highlight the similarities, which are first given by their common source/s and then by the fact that they are susteined by certain historical(-legendary) antecedents. Before even reading them one can conveniently guess that the legend of Faustŕand the various other Fausts derived from itŕis their common inspiration.

  • Printers: New Cultural Actors in Europe Beginning in the Late fifteenth Century
    Humanists and Europe Printers: new cultural actors in Europe beginning in the late fifteenth century Catherine KIKUCHI ABSTRACT Printing was born in Germany with the production of the Gutenberg Bible, although printers set up shop across all of Europe beginning in the first decades of the century. They specialized, organized, and collaborated with merchants and bookshops. This new industry was particularly concentrated in merchant cities and university towns. Their editorial strategies sought to reach an increasingly broader audience which was not limited to persons of letters, although important printers worked with the Humanists for the diffusion of high quality revised editions. Their collaboration involved ancient texts, such as the Greek editions of Aldus Manutius, as well as religious texts, the Bible in particular. Printing was thus a driver of religious and intellectual renewal, but was also suspected of conveying harmful and heretical ideas; with the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, printers were increasingly controlled by political and religious authorities, a control that some of them were able to circumvent. The invention and diffusion of printing The birth of printing in Europe is dated as 1452, when Johann Gutenberg produced the 42-line Bible in Mainz with the help of Peter Schöffer and funding from Johann Fust. This invention takes its place in the long-term history of technology, stretching from Chinese and Korean printing methods to engraved Bibles for the poor in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The true change with Gutenberg was not so much the press itself, but the use of movable type. Furthermore, the success of printing was also due to its connection with important merchants who invested in this new art, such as Johann Fust.

  • Doctor Faustus: Death of a Bibliophile
    <http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:21-opus-49392> Connotations Vo!. 1.1 (1991) Doctor Faustus: Death of a Bibliophile PAUL BUDRA Immediately after signing the contract pledging his body and soul to the devil, Dr. Faustus asks Mephostophilis, "where is the place that men call Hell?" (2.1.505)1 Mephostophilis truthfully answers Faustus' inquiry, ''Hell hath no limits" (2.1.510), but Faustus rejects this as "trifles, and meere old wives Tales" (2.1.524). Failing to recognize true information, Faustus requests sensual gratification in the form of a wife. The devil can only provide a woman devil (he cannot deal in the Christian sacrament of marriage) and Faustus is again unsatisfied. Critics of Doctor Faustus have been quick to underline the point: Faustus receives very little in exchange for his soul. But few critics have noted the way in which the demon assuages Faustus' disappointment; he does it with a gift: a book which will allow the doctor to control the weather and call up armoured guards. Faustus promises to keep the tome "as chary as my life" (2.1.551), but he is not entirely satisfied; he wants another book: "Yet faine would I have a booke wherein I might beholde al spels and incantations, that I might raise up spirits when I please" (2.1.551.01- 02). Mephostophilis replies that this information is also in the book he holds in his hand, and the devil turns to the appropriate page. Frustrated, Faustus asks for yet another book that will show "al characters of planets of the heavens" (2.1.551.04-05).

  • El Libro Amenazado. De Fust a Faust
    EL LIBRO AMENAZADO. DE FUST A FAUST Manuel Álvarez Junco Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Resumen La invención de la imprenta está unida a la historia de Johann Fust, socio de Gutenberg, acusado de brujería al descubrirse su poder de multiplicar biblias por un medio hasta entonces impensable. La relación del nombre Fust con Faust parece ser el origen del mito que hará famoso Goethe. Aquí se realiza una reflexión, a partir de este suceso, sobre la suspicaz recepción que una civilización suele realizar con los ingenios nuevos; cómo se puede percibir cualquier creación inusitada, cómo se rechaza o cómo se acepta. Se aborda concretamente la analogía de los problemas de integración de la imprenta en el siglo XV con la recepción hoy de las nuevas tecnologías en nuestra sociedad. En particular, la amenaza que siente el mundo del libro en sus esencias a causa de la electrónica. Abstract The invention of the printing press is linked to the history of Gutenberg partner, Johann Fust, accused of witchcraft when he was considered to be capable to multiply Bibles by unknown means. Fust relationship with Faust name could be the origin of the myth that Goethe made famous. From this event, a reflection is made on the suspicious reception that a society often does with new inventions; how any unusual creation is accepted or rejected. This paper addresses the analogy of integration problems of printing press in the fifteen century with the ones we have today with new technologies getting in our daylife. Particularly the threat felt by the book world in its essences and foundation because of electronics.
