Italian Architects and Modern Egypt
1 AKPIA @ MIT - Studies on ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY & CULTURE Italian Architects and Modern Egypt Cristina Pallini “Exiles who, fleeing from the Pope or the Bourbons, had embarked at night in fishing boats from Barletta, or Taranto, or from the coast of Sic- ily, and after weeks at sea disembarked in Egypt. I imagined them, the legendary fugitives of the last century, wrapped in their cloaks, with wide-brimmed hats and long beards: they were mostly professional men or intellectuals who, after a while, sent for their wives from Italy or else married local girls. Later on their children and grandchildren . founded charitable institutions in Alexandria, the people’s university, the civil cem- etery. .” To the writer Fausta Cialente,1 these were the first Italians who crossed the Mediterranean in the first half of the nineteenth century to reach what had survived of trading outposts founded in the Middle Ages. Egypt, the meeting point between Africa and Asia, yet so accessible from Europe, was at that time the scene of fierce European rivalry. Within only a few years Mohamed Ali2 had assumed control of the corridors to India, pressing forward with industrial development based on cotton. Having lost no time in inducing him to abandon the conquered territories and revoke his monopoly regime, the Great Powers became competitors on a 1 Fausta Cialente (Cagliari 1898 – London 1994), Ballata levantina (Milan: Feltrinelli, 1961), 127–128. 2 Mohamed Ali (Kavala, Macedonia 1769 – Cairo 1849) is considered to be the founder of modern Egypt. His mark on the country’s history is due to his extensive political and military action, as well as his administrative, economic, and cultural reforms. -

Al Servizio Di Dio Nella Difesa Della Sana Dottrina Anmerkungen Zur Geschichte Der Biblioteca Casanatense In
«al serVizio di dio nella difesa della sana dottrina» 443 «al serVizio di dio nella difesa della sana dottrina.» anmerkunGen zur GesChiChte der biblioteCa Casanatense in rom marGherita Palumbo Nach vier Jahren treffen wir uns heute in Münster wieder, vier Jahren, in denen sich einiges getan hat. So sind im Laufe dieser Zeit die neuen, umfassenden Bände der Münsteraner Grundlagenforschung für das 18. Jahrhundert erschienen. Die in der Casanatense – der historischen Bibliothek des Dominikanerordens in Rom – aufbewahrte Sammlung von die Inquisition und Zensur betreffenden Editti e bandi, die ich im Dezember 2005 hier vorgestellt habe,1 ist jetzt nicht nur elektronisch katalogisiert, sondern auch als Digitalisat im Internet zugäng- lich, innerhalb der Biblioteca Digitale Italiana und demnächst auch direkt über die Website der Casanatense.2 Im Laufe dieser Jahre sind auch meine Forschun- gen über die Geschichte der Bibliothek und ihre Rolle in der Geschichte der Rö- mischen Zensur weitergegangen. Wie bekannt, ist der Grundbestand der Casa- natense die prächtige Privatbibliothek des Kardinals Girolamo Casanate.3 Aus einer katalanischen Familie stammend, wurde er 1620 in Neapel geboren; nach dem Jurastudium in seiner Geburtsstadt erklomm er in Rom die Karrierleiter.4 Von 1658 bis 1663 bekleidete er das Amt des Nuntius und Inquisitors in Malta,5 1 Siehe Margherita Palumbo, Inquisition und Indexkongregation in der Sammlung «Editti e Bandi» der Biblioteca Casanatense, in: Hubert wolf (Hg.), Verbotene Bücher.

Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity. -

LA TEBAIDE VOLGARIZZATA DI CORNELIO BENTIVOGLIO D’ARAGONA Renzo Rabboni Università Degli Studi Di Udine
RINNOVAMENTO EPICO: LA TEBAIDE VOLGARIZZATA DI CORNELIO BENTIVOGLIO D’ARAGONA Renzo Rabboni Università degli Studi di Udine RIASSUNTO: Il contributo verte sul ruolo di riformatore di Cornelio Bentivoglio d’Aragona, principe della Chiesa, letterato e protettore di letterati. Dopo aver animato la riscossa del teatro italiano, l’alto prelato scese in lizza personalmente contro le critiche mosse dai francesi all’epica italiana con la traduzione della Tebaide di Stazio. Il volgarizzamento riproponeva il modello tassiano e rinascimentale, ma aggiornato secondo un gusto che rimanda, da un lato, al debito con la poetica del sublime pseudo-longiniano; dall’altro, all’attualità politica, con una lettura “ideologica” del poema antico, che allude alle lacerazioni operate nel corpo della cristianità dalle dottrine riformate: che Bentivoglio aveva fronteggiato direttamente negli anni della sua militanza di nunzio pontificio a Parigi. PAROLE CHIAVE: Giansenismo, Tasso, sublime, sensismo, Pier Jacopo Martelli ABSTRACT: The contribution focuses on the role of reformer of Cornelio Bentivoglio of Aragon, prince of the Church, scholar and protector of writers. The high prelate from Ferrara, after having animated the revival of the Italian theater, got into personal competition against the criticisms made by the French to the Italian epic with the translation of the Thebaid of Statius. The vulgarization re-proposed the Tasso and Renaissance model but updated to a contemporary taste, that refers, on the one hand, the debt with the poetics of the sublime pseudo-Longinian; on the other, to political current events, because of an “ideological” reading of the ancient poem, which alludes to the lacerations made in the body of Christianity by the reformed doctrines. -

The Early Career of Bishop Charles Walmsley Osb Dd Frs 1722-97
© English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1997 THE EARLY CAREER OF BISHOP CHARLES WALMSLEY OSB DD FRS 1722-97 Dom Geoffrey Scott HE ENGLISH BENEDICTINE CHARLES WALMESLEY, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, died stone deaf on November 25th 1797, aged 75. Since 1997 marks the Tbi-centenary of his death, this is a tribute to a monk who was a mathematician and astronomer of international renown, for many years the doyen of the English Vicars Apostolic, and the father of the American hierarchy, through his consecration of Bishop John Carroll in 1790. No comprehensive biography of Walmesley has ever been attempted, for aspiring biographers have been daunted by the assertion that whilst he was at Wardour Castle, all his library, archives and papers went up in flames when the chapel and house at Bath were fired by the mob during the Gordon Riots in 1780. Because of his major involvement in the conflict between the Catholic Committee and some of the Vicars Apostolic in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, his later career has received much attention from scholars. His contribution to that conflict will not, therefore, be addressed here. What follows is an attempt to gather together what singed biographical fragments remain of those earlier and perhaps happier years of a man whom public opinion regarded in his mature years as the rising hope of stern unbending English Catholic conservatism [1].1 F A M I L Y Charles Walmesley was born at Westwood Hall on the outskirts of Wigan, Lancashire, on 13 January 1722, the seventh son, and youngest but one, of twelve children, of the wealthy Lancashire Catholic squire and Wigan alderman, John Walmesley and his wife, Mary Greaves. -
The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system. -

Piker, Chair ______________________________ Dr. Catherine E. Kelly ______________________________ Dr. James S. Hart, Jr. ______________________________ Dr. Gary C. Anderson ______________________________ Dr. Karl H. Offen © Copyright by MATTHEW R. BAHAR 2012 All Rights Reserved. For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation. -
Italian Books
Italian Books I Philobiblon Rome London New York In collaboration with Govi Rare Books, New York Italian Books I Spring 2019 Preface We are very pleased to present Philobiblon’s new publishing initiative Italian Books, a series of numbered catalogues devoted to the important place of Italian culture on the world stage. The catalogues will feature manuscripts, documents, printed books, engravings, drawings, and artist’s books produced in Italy, as well as Italian books printed outside the country, translations attesting to the impact of Italian culture abroad, including volumes finely bound by sought-after Italian binders, and those once owned by great protagonists of Italian book collecting. Together these selections will illuminate a journey into the multifarious Italian book world in the broadest and richest sense. After all, the history of the book itself is a fascinating narrative, an uninterrupted medley of fruitful cultural transfers and the migration of ideas. In this regard, Italy has always represented a unique crossroad among cultures, the custodian of ancient past, as well as the gateway between Western and Eastern worlds, whose academies, art collections, libraries, printing houses, and bookshops have provided, over the centuries, fertile meeting grounds for generations of scholars, bibliophiles, and connoisseurs. In the first decades of the twentieth century, two international exhibitions paid homage to the Italian book. The Mostra Storica dell’Arte della Stampa in Italia opened in Leipzig in 1914 and presented the magnificence of Italian book production from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. The splendid Exposition du Livre Italien followed in Paris in 1926, mounted at the Bibliothèque Nationale and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
