P. PUTNAM'S SONS 1913 PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS TAVI STOCK STREET CoVENT GARDEN LONDON THE story of the Borgia family has always been of interest one strangely fascinating ; but a lurid legend grew up about their lives, which culminated in the creation of the fantastic monstrosities of Victor Hugo's play and Donizetti's opera. For three centuries their name was a byword for the vilest but in our there has been infamy ; own day an extraordinary swing of the pendulum, which is hard to account for. Quite a number of para- doxical writers have proclaimed to an astonished and mystified world that Pope Alexander VI was both a wise prince and a gentle priest whose motives and actions have been maliciously mis- noble- represented ; that Cesare Borgia was a minded and enlightened statesman, who, three centuries in advance of his time, endeavoured to form a united Italy by the only means then in Lucrezia anybody's power ; and that Borgia was a paragon of all the virtues. " " It seems to have been impossible to whitewash the Borgia without a good deal of juggling with the evidence, as well as a determined attack on the veracity and trustworthiness of the contemporary b v PREFACE historians and chroniclers to whom we are indebted for our knowledge of the time.

  • Artisti Civatesi Alla Corte Visconteo Sforzesca E L’Abate Commendatario Card
    Artisti civatesi alla corte visconteo sforzesca e l’abate commendatario Card. Ascanio Sforza Visconti Relazione di Carlo Castagna Tre sono gli elementi chiave che ritengo indispensabili per capire la realtà del monastero civatese negli anni del passaggio dal ‘400 al ‘500, gli anni gli anni in cui Leonardo fu presente sul territorio lariano: a) La testimonianza documentata dello stretto rapporto avuto dal monastero di San Pietro e Calocero sin dalle origini col potere politico-religioso; b) La testimonianza della presenza degli artisti civatesi alla corte visconteo-sforzesca; c) La contemporanea presenza a Civate della importante figura del Card. Ascanio Maria Sforza Visconti, figlio di Francesco Sforza e fratello dei due duchi, Giangaleazzo Maria Sforza Visconti e Ludovico detto il Moro, come primo abate commendatario ufficiale del monastero. 1. Il rapporto politico-religioso in sintesi: La rifondazione benedettina del monastero regale di san Pietro al Monte, avvenuta a metà del IX secolo, con la costruzione a valle del monastero di San Calocero fu personalmente voluta dal terzo imperatore, Lotario, e affidata al magister Hildemarus ed all’abate Leodegarius. Forti furono da allora per secoli i legami con i monasteri affratellati della Reichenau, attraverso la fratenitatis Sancti Galli, Augensis et Fabariensis. Già nell’880, tuttavia, il monastero milanese di Sant’Ambrogio, il vescovo della città e la nobiltà milanese contestarono la legittimazione dei possessi della Reichenau, attraverso San Pietro al Monte, nella corte di Limonta, evento che si ripeté con l’abate Andrea nel 1018. Nel 1162, Federico di Svevia, detto il Barbarossa, riconfermò con un Diploma imperiale i possessi, i privilegi e l’indipendenza del monastero civatese (quod est nostrum) dal potere locale; indipendenza mantenuta integra sino alla sua sconfitta a Legnano nel 1176.

  • Bianca Maria Visconti: La Donna Più Affascinante Del Rinascimento Milanese
    Bianca Maria Visconti: la donna più affascinante del Rinascimento milanese Scritto il 25 OTTOBRE, 2018 Era il 1430 e Bianca Maria Visconti aveva solo cinque anni quando divenne ufficialmente la fidanzata del comandante ventinovenne Francesco Sforza, valente condottiero di compagnia di ventura, che per anni combatté al servizio dei vari principati italiani, dal Regno di Napoli allo Stato della Chiesa, per giungere infine alla corte del duca di Milano Filippo Maria Visconti . Fu proprio in occasione del fidanzamento che Filippo Maria Visconti, offrì allo Sforza Cremona e le altre terre come anticipo sulla dote di nozze e in cambio dei suo servigi. Il 25 ottobre 1441 Filippo Maria Visconti concluse, infine, le trattative per le nozze di sua figlia con lo Sforza. Nel giorno prefissato la sedicenne Bianca giunse nel cuore di Cremona , per celebrare le sue nozze, vestita di rosso, il colore zodiacale dell’ariete, cavalcando un cavallo bianco con la gualdrappa d’oro. 1 Ancora oggi, le città di Milano e Cremona, nell’ultima settimana di ottobre, rivivono i fasti del Rinascimento con la rievocazione storica del matrimonio tra Francesco Sforza e Bianca Maria Visconti, evento per il quale la tradizione cremonese attribuisce la nascita del torrone. Pare infatti che i festeggiamenti del matrimonio di Francesco e Bianca Maria proseguirono per diversi giorni con tornei, carri allegorici e un sontuoso banchetto nuziale in cui venne offerto il tipico dolce del luogo con la forma del “ Torrazzo ” di Cremona, da cui ebbe origine il nome torrone .

  • The Evolution of Individualism Through Christianity A
    THE EVOLUTION OF INDIVIDUALISM THROUGH CHRISTIANITY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Liberal Studies By Maureen Heath, M.P.A. Georgetown University Washington D.C. April 2018 DEDICATION I would like to thank my husband Dr. Jim Heath, who has been a source of constant motivation and support. He encouraged me to pursue the doctorate and has diligently read and edited multiple iterations of this thesis. I would also like to thank all the members of my committee: Dr. Frank Ambrosio, Dr. Bill O’Brien and especially Dr. JoAnn H. Moran Cruz, who has spent many hours mentoring me and guiding me through this process. ii THE EVOLUTION OF INDIVIDUALISM THROUGH CHRISTIANITY Maureen Heath DLS Chair: JoAnn Moran Cruz, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Christianity and the birth of a Christian worldview affected the evolution of individualism in Western culture as a cultural meme. Applying a biological metaphor, the focus is on how mutations in the cultural genome arose from the advent of Christianity within a Eurocentric context. Utilizing a diachronic examination of selected authors and writings, this thesis explores that cultural evolution and shows the progression to the modern individual. Beginning with Augustine and extending to John Locke, the focus is on writers who are emblematic of a concept that becomes an adaptive trait or cultural meme in the evolutionary process. They include: Augustine exhibiting the inner self, Abelard and Ockham displaying the intentional self, Dante manifesting the responsible self, Pico della Mirandola and the self-made man, Montaigne presenting the subjective self, Luther with the autonomous-self meme, and Locke presenting the natural rights meme.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

  • Chapter Thirty the Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648
    Chapter Thirty The Ottoman Empire, Judaism, and Eastern Europe to 1648 In the late fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries, while the Portuguese and Spanish explored the oceans and exploited faraway lands, the eastern Mediterranean was dominated by the Ottomans. Mehmed II had in 1453 taken Constantinople and made it his capital, putting an end to the Byzantine empire. The subsequent Islamizing of Constantinople was abrupt and forceful. Immediately upon taking the city, Mehmed set about to refurbish and enlarge it. The population had evidently declined to fewer than two hundred thousand by the time of the conquest but a century later was approximately half a million, with Muslims constituting a slight majority. Mehmed and his successors offered tax immunity to Muslims, as an incentive for them to resettle in the city. Perhaps two fifths of the population was still Christian in the sixteenth century, and a tenth Jewish (thousands of Jewish families resettled in Constantinople after their expulsion from Spain in 1492). The large and impressive churches of Constantinople were taken over and made into mosques. Most dramatically, Mehmed laid claim to Haghia Sophia, the enormous cathedral that for nine hundred years had been the seat of the patriarch of Constantinople, and ordered its conversion into a mosque. It was reconfigured and rebuilt (it had been in a state of disrepair since an earthquake in 1344), and minarets were erected alongside it. The Orthodox patriarch was eventually placed in the far humbler Church of St. George, in the Phanari or “lighthouse” district of Constantinople. Elsewhere in the city Orthodox Christians were left with relatively small and shabby buildings.1 Expansion of the Ottoman empire: Selim I and Suleiman the Magnificent We have followed - in Chapter 26 - Ottoman military fortunes through the reigns of Mehmed II (1451-81) and Bayezid II (1481-1512).
