It is a remarkable tribute to Guarino's fame, to the affection and respect he so widely inspired$ and to the vigour of bis pen, that 773 of his letters have survived through virtually no effort of his own* Of these, 762 were published by Remigio Sabbadini in his 3 volume Epistolario di Guarino Veronese (Venice* 1915-1919)4 since when others have come to light. These will be discussed in due course.

Interest in Guarino began in the eighteenth century+, The first to express,. a desire to publish letters of Guarino was Scipione ilaffoi 303 in his Verona Illustrata (Verona, 1732) p« 67f., but the edition never appeared. The same in true of A. Zeno in Diesertanioni Vos (Venico, 1752) I" p. 222, where he also said: "One could compile a vast volume of his (Guari. no0c) letters,,.

  • Andrea Corsali and the Southern Cross
    Andrea Corsali and the Southern Cross Anne McCormick Hordern House 2019 1 In 1515 Andrea Corsali, an Italian under the patronage of the Medici family, accompanied a Portuguese voyage down the African coast and around the Cape of Good Hope, en route to Cochin, India. On his return Corsali’s letter to his patron describing the voyage was published as a book which survives in only a handful of copies: CORSALI, Andrea. Lettera di Andrea Corsali allo Illustrissimo Signore Duca Iuliano de Medici, Venuta Dellindia del Mese di Octobre Nel M.D.XVI. [Colophon:] Stampato in Firenze per Io. Stephano di Carlo da Pavia. Adi. xi.di Dicembre Nel. M.D.XV1. This book included the earliest illustration of the stars of the Crux, the group of stars today known as the Southern Cross. This paper will explore the cultural context of that publication, along with the significance of this expedition, paying attention to the identification and illustration of the stars of the Southern Cross; in particular, I shall investigate why the book was important to the Medici family; the secrecy often attaching to geographical information acquired during the Age of Discovery; Andrea Corsali’s biography; and printing in Florence at this period; and other works issued by the printer Giovanni Stefano from Pavia. Corsali’s discoveries, particularly the ground-breaking astronomical report and illustration of the Southern Cross off the Cape of Good Hope, remained a navigational aid to voyages into the Southern Ocean and on to The East and the New World for centuries to follow, and ultimately even played a part in the European discovery of Australia.

  • La Lingua Litteraria Di Guarino Veronese E La Cultura Teatrale a Ferrara Nella Prima Metà Del XV Secolo
    Annali Online di Ferrara - Lettere Vol. 2 (2009) 225/256 DOMENICO GIUSEPPE LIPANI La lingua litteraria di Guarino Veronese e la cultura teatrale a Ferrara nella prima metà del XV secolo 1. Etichette e identità L’etichetta è una comoda scorciatoia per riconoscere in un bailamme di oggetti simili lo scarto che irriducibilmente li diversifica, per dare conto di identità plurime ad un primo sguardo, per trovare con rapidità ciò che già si sta cercando. Per questo le etichette riportano l’estremamente peculiare, lo specifico, il distintivo. Ma le etichette, non a caso, si appiccicano, perché sono estranee e superficiali. Quando si voglia non trovare ma veramente cercare, le etichette sono inservibili. La storia del teatro ne è piena. Giusto per fare degli esempi, alle origini della ricomparsa del teatro in Occidente c’è l’etichetta dramma liturgico e all’opposto cronologico, prima dell’esplosione novecentesca, la nascita della regia. Etichette, per l’appunto, che, attaccate per indicare, hanno finito per ridurre al silenzio ogni complessità culturale sottostante. Della sperimentazione teatrale a Ferrara nel Quattrocento, di quella stagione di grande fermento culturale e di radicato progetto politico si è spesso riferito usando l’etichetta di festival plautini, creando così il vuoto prima, dopo e in mezzo alle messe in scena di Plauto e Terenzio. Come se i tempi brevi di quegli eventi spettacolari non fossero intrecciati ai tempi lunghi della vita culturale cittadina. Come ricordava Braudel, però, «tempi brevi e tempi lunghi coesistono e sono inseparabili»1 e voler vedere gli uni prescindendo dagli altri significa fermarsi alla superficie dell’etichetta.

  • Flavio Biondo's Italia Illustrata
    Week V: Set Reading – Primary Source Flavio Biondo, on the revival of letters, from his Italia illustrata Editor’s Note: Flavio Biondo (1392-1463), also (confusingly) known as Biondo Flavio, was born in Forlì, near Bologna, but much of his career was spent at the papal curia, where he worked as secretary to successive Popes. At the same time, he wrote works of history and of topography. The Italia illustrata, which he worked on in the late 1440s and early 1450s, was intended to describe the geography of the regions of Italy but, in doing so, Biondo discoursed on the famous men of each region and, in the context in the section of his home region of the Romagna, provided a brief history of the revival of letters in his own lifetime. Those who truly savour Latin literature for its own taste, see and understand that there were few and hardly any who wrote with any eloquence after the time of the Doctors of the Church, Ambrose, Jerome and Augustine, which was the moment when the Roman Empire was declining – unless among their number should be put St Gregory and the Venerable Bede, who were close to them in time, and St Bernard, who was much later.1 Truly, Francesco Petrarca [Petrarch], a man of great intelligence and greater application, was the first of all to begin to revive poetry and eloquence.2 Not, however, that he achieve the flower of Ciceronian eloquence with which we see many in our own time are decorated, but for that we are inclined to blame the lack and want of books rather than of intelligence.

  • PHILOPOEMEN IMMODICUS and SUPERBUS and SPARTA the Decision Taken by the Achaean League in the Autumn of 192 B.G at Aegium To
    PHILOPOEMEN IMMODICUS AND SUPERBUS AND SPARTA The decision taken by the Achaean League in the autumn of 192 B.G at Aegium to wage war against the Aetolians and their allies was crucial to the Greeks and their future. Greece proper had been divided for generations among several political bodies — and, in fact, had never been united into one state. Yet all those known as Έλληνες felt the natural human desire to avoid the unnecessary violence, bloodshed, and self-destruction engendered by ceaseless competition for preeminence and hegemomy in the domestic arena. The so-called “Tragic Historians” adopted these emotions as the leitmotif of their principal efforts to delineate the deeds and omissions of the Greek leadership and populace.1 Rome’s powerful political-strategical penetration east of the Adriatic sea, into Mainland Greece, particularly during the later decades of the third century B.C, undermined the precarious balance of internal Greek politics. The embarrassment which had seized most of Greece is easily understandable. Yet the Achaeans at Aegium do not appear to have been inspired by the memory of their ancestors’ resistance to the Persians. The Achaean leaders, Philopoemen not excluded, rejected Aetolian pleas for help or, at least, non-intervention in the struggle that they had started in the name of Έλληνες for the whole of Greece. Somewhat surprisingly, the Achaean leaders hastened to declare war on the Aetolians, anticipating even the Roman crossing to Greece2. These are the bare facts available to us (Livy 35.50.2-6). However, the conventional interpretation of these occurrences derived from Polybius 3 tends to be pathetic more than historical, and consti­ tute an embellished portrait of Achaean policy and politicians of those days rather than an honest guide to the political realities of the Έλληνες and Greece proper.

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda Jane Piper, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1966 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREFACE The history of Sparta from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C; to the destruction of Corinth in 1^6 B.C. is the history of social revolution and Sparta's second rise to military promi­ nence in the Peloponnesus; the history of kings and tyrants; the history of Sparta's struggle to remain autonomous in a period of amalgamation. It is also a period in Sparta's history too often neglected by historians both past and present. There is no monograph directly concerned with Hellenistic Sparta. For the most part, this period is briefly and only inci­ dentally covered in works dealing either with the whole history of ancient Sparta, or simply as a part of Hellenic or Hellenistic 1 2 history in toto. Both Pierre Roussel and Eug&ne Cavaignac, in their respective surveys of Spartan history, have written clear and concise chapters on the Hellenistic period. Because of the scope of their subject, however, they were forced to limit them­ selves to only the most important events and people of this time, and great gaps are left in between.

  • An Introduction to Latin Literature and Style Pursue in Greater Depth; (C) It Increases an Awareness of Style and Linguistic Structure
    An Introduction to Latin Literature and Style by Floyd L. Moreland Rita M. Fleischer revised by Andrew Keller Stephanie Russell Clement Dunbar The Latin/Greek Institute The City University ojNew York Introduction These materials have been prepared to fit the needs of the Summer Latin Institute of Brooklyn College and The City University of New York. and they are structured as an appropriate sequel to Moreland and Fleischer. Latin: An Intensive Course (University of California Press. 1974). However, students can use these materials with equal effectiveness after the completion of any basic grammar text and in any intermediate Latin course whose aim is to introduce students to a variety of authors of both prose and poetry. The materials are especially suited to an intensive or accelerated intermediate course. The authors firmly believe that, upon completion of a basic introduction to grammar. the only way to learn Latin well is to read as much as possible. A prime obstacle to reading is vocabulary: students spend much energy and time looking up the enormous number of words they do not know. Following the system used by Clyde Pharr in Vergil's Aeneid. Books I-VI (Heath. 1930), this problem is minimized by glossing unfamiliar words on each page oftext. Whether a word is familiar or not has been determined by its occurrence or omission in the formal unit vocabularies of Moreland and Fleischer, Latin: An Intensive Course. Students will need to know the words included in the vocabularies of that text and be acquainted with some of the basic principles of word formation.

J. Leonertz, Roberto Weiss, Agostino Pertusi, N. G. Wilson, Ernesto Berti, and many others. The first problem concerns the reason why (to use Pertusi's formulation) Salutati succeeded where Boccaccio failed: why no Latin scholar of the mid-fourteenth century succeeded in learning classical Greek, whereas the students of Manuel Chrysoloras were able not only to learn Greek themselves, but to pass down their knowledge to later generations.
