    i 11 Parallel Lives: Plutarch's Lives, Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger (1405-1438) and the Art of Italian Renaissance Translation CHRISTOPHER S. CELENZA Before his premature death in 1438 of an outbreak of plague in Ferrara, the Florentine humanist and follower of the papal curia Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger left behind three main bodies of work in Latin, all still either unedited or incompletely edited: his own self-collected letters, a small number of prose treatises, and a sizeable corpus of Greek-to-Latin translations. This paper concerns primarily the last of these three aspects of his work and has as its evidentiary focus two autograph manuscripts that contain inter alia final versions of Lapo's Latin translations of Plutarch's Lives of Themistocles, Artaxerxes, and Aratus. In addition, however, to studying Lapo's translating techniques, this paper will address chiefly the complexities of motivation surrounding Lapo's choice of dedicatees for these translations. The range of circumstances will demonstrate, I hope, the lengths to which a young, little-known humanist had to go to support himself in an environment where there was as yet no real fixed, institutional place for a newly created discipline. Lapo and Translation: Patronage, Theory, and Practice Of the three areas mentioned, Lapo's translations represent the most voluminous part of his oeuvre and in fact it is to his translations that he owes his modem reputation. But why did this young humanist devote so much energy to translating? And why were Plutarch's Lives such an important part of his effort? An earlier version of this paper was delivered as an Oldfather Lecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on 8 November 1996.

  • City of Water. Uncovering Milan's Aquatic Geographies. a Digital Humanities Lab
    Ferrando 1 City of Water. Uncovering Milan’s Aquatic Geographies. A Digital Humanities Lab. In the fall of 2016, I led a Digital Humanities Lab where students explored the cultural history of water in Milan, Italy’s self-described ‘city of water.’ The result of our work was an annotated, thick map of Milan that is available here. At the time of their largest expansion, the waterways of Milan (called navigli) extended for approximately 96 miles. By the mid-1930s, the entire network of canals encircling the city had been filled in with the exception of one section of a naviglio which is still visible today. When the controversial covering of the canals took place during the 1920s and 1930s, a strong sense of nostalgia for the now-disappeared water emerged among the citizens. Milanese poets and writers but also ordinary people that work or live in the city show an emotional attachment to water and are concerned with its conservation, not for obvious reasons of survival, but for cultural reasons. In Milan, a special bond exists between water and people, and the goal of our lab was to study and create a visualization of this bond. Our work was based on the premise that literature and cultural artifacts not only reflect but also influence the way a community relates to its natural or urban environment. The premise of our DH lab was ecocritical. We observed how poetry, in the case of Alda Merini, Daria Menicanti, and Milo De Angelis as well as in the case of Futurist artists, is the vehicle for a cultural meditation on water by an entire community that is involved with its surrounding space.

  • Lapo's Life and Work
    ch1.qxd 10/18/1999 2:02 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Lapo’s Life and Work In the years that preceded the more or less permanent reentry of Pope Eugenius IV into Rome, the Renaissance humanist movement was in the middle of an interesting phase. At that time a large component of its members consisted of intellectuals who lacked ‹xed institutional places. Humanism—this new ars whose curricular focus was the studia humani- tatis—had still to ‹nd its place in society and was dependent largely on patrons. One practitioner of this new art was the Florentine Lapo da Cas- tiglionchio the Younger, who died in 1438 at the age of thirty-three. One of his most interesting cultural bequests to us is a treatise that he wrote in the year of his death, entitled De curiae commodis, or On the Bene‹ts of the Curia. In this dialogue, Lapo offers us a portrait of the papal curia that is written elegantly, learnedly, earnestly, and even angrily. It is a human document that is alive with information not only for intellectual historians but for social and cultural historians as well. The goal of this study is to discuss this dialogue in its intellectual and social contexts. A critical edition of the Latin text along with an annotated English transla- tion follows the discussion. This ‹rst chapter offers an examination of Lapo’s life and work, fol- lowed by a brief look at the historiography on the dialogue. Chapter 2 deals with the literary context of the dialogue and examines a compli- cated passage on the virtues, which I believe can serve as an interpretive key for the piece as a whole.

  • The Simulacrum Precedes the Truth: Padre Onofrio Branda's Linguistic Counterfeit Jason M Collins Giambattista Vico in His Aptl
    The Simulacrum Precedes the Truth: Padre Onofrio Branda’s Linguistic Counterfeit Jason M Collins Giambattista Vico in his aptly titled Principi di scienza nuova d’intorno alla commune natura delle nazioni, or simply The New Science, presents the axiom “Men of limited ideas take for law what the words expressly say” (Vico 93). Vico’s assessment is not one meant to be a caveat isolated to one event in time. Vico’s work attempts to align facts, erroneous and exaggerated as they may be due to inaccurate or limited resources, so as to fashion not only an original approach to historiography, but also a theory and methodology. He does so by presenting history and its structures as corsi e ricorsi; it is a theory that recognizes history is not the linear history bar on the wall of classrooms marked with pertinent historical dates, undeviating in its appearance as unique events, but rather as a configuration that is cyclical in nature, and therefore with a repetitive schema. Vico’s axiom’s relevance lies in the theory he sets forth that owing to corsi e ricorsi, history (in its recurrent quality with the obvious supposition of man using ostentatiously dubious observations and contestations subjective in nature to fashion consent through misinformation) will repeat as a function of humanity to persistently be examined. This ostensible barrage of falsehoods obtains realization even in the Enlightenment era, clouded with its cliché of adages on truth and knowledge from Immanuel Kant’s Sapere aude1 to Cesare Beccaria’s La massima felicità divisa nel maggior numero.2 Padre Onofrio Branda, a Milanese scholar, educator, and cohort to members of Il Caffè including Beccaria, endeavored to further his own renown by creating a simulacrum fashioned as a Socratic dialogue that addresses the Tuscan language as a primary didactic and social commodity to be diffused.
