For the first time, accurate digital images are provided of a 16th-century wooden ceiling, composed of geometric interlacing patterns, in the Pinelo Palace in Seville. Today, this ceiling suffers from significant deformation. Although there are many publications on the digital documentation of architectural heritage, no graphic studies on this type of deformed ceilings have been presented. This study starts by providing data on the palace history concerning the design of geometric interlacing patterns in carpentry according to the 1633 book by López de Arenas, and on the ceiling consolidation in the 20th century. Images were then obtained using two complementary procedures: from a 3D laser scanner, which offers metric data on deformations; and from photogrammetry, which facilitates Citation: Reinoso-Gordo, J.F.; the visualisation of details. In this way, this type of heritage is documented in an innovative graphic Gámiz-Gordo, A.; Barrero-Ortega, P. approach, which is essential for its conservation and/or restoration with scientific foundations and Digital Graphic Documentation and also to disseminate a reliable digital image of the most beautiful ceiling of this Renaissance palace in Architectural Heritage: Deformations southern Europe. in a 16th-Century Ceiling of the Pinelo Palace in Seville (Spain).

The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

New Monarchs on the continent began to make use of Roman Law and declared themselves “sovereign” while incorporating the will and welfare of their people into the person of the monarch This meant they had authority to make their own laws b.

New Monarchies never achieved absolute power; absolutism did not emerge effectively until the 17th century (e.g. Louis XIV in France). 3. New Monarchies also were not nation-states (in the modern sense) since populations did not necessarily feel that they belonged to a “nation” a. Identity tended to be much more local or regional. b.

  • An Exploration of 16Th Century French Dress by Lady Alliette Delecourt (Mka Irina Lubomirska) 1
    An exploration of 16th century French dress By Lady Alliette Delecourt (mka Irina Lubomirska) 1 A copy of this paper and more images/information can be found on http://frenchrenaissancecostume.com What this paper covers: • This paper covers 16th century female fashions in France. • It covers mostly upper class dress with some middle class. Things to bear in mind: • France was not one homogenous country • It was a collection of regions, under feudal allegiance to the French crown • Those regions had different cultures, wealth and even languages. There were regional dress variations, but they are beyond the scope of this paper. 1 First quarter of 16 th century Early in the century the French fashions became strongly influenced by Italian fashion, due to Francis I's interest in renaissance arts coming from Italy and ongoing wars which led to increase in communication and exposure to Italian fashions. So in this early period you see the heavier bulkier French fashions and the lighter, more elegant Italian fashions. A good illustration is in this early 1500s tapestry (in Cluny museum): The lady on the left is dressed in the Italian style. The lady on the right is in the typical early 16th century French style. 1 This paper is copyright of Irina Lubomirska.

It may not be used for any commercial or other purposes without express permission of the author. 1 1.1 Gown The bodice of the gowns is mostly undecorated, with a square neckline. The neckline is quite high on the French-style gowns early in the century and gets lower and wider towards the later part of the first quarter of the century.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Some Papal Bull: 16th Century Alum trade and English Royal Autonomy Abstract The early 16th century saw the rise of a wealthy middle class fueled by the global textile industry. Many men made their fortunes off of this trade, so it is not surprising to consider that not all of these trades were legal. In this essay, I shall be looking at the popular alum trade in Italy, Spain, and England from the 14th to the 17th centuries and how the lucrative trade shaped their early modern economies, societies, and methods of ruling. Because of the importance of alum, many Christian rulers contested the Pope's regulation of the commodity, even going so far as to import it illegally. By the beginning of the 16th century, Henry VII had started an illegal alum racket, the pope had declared his monopoly "holy", and Spain profited from both while gradually exploiting the New World for its resources.

  • Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth Mcfadden a Dissertatio
    Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland By Elizabeth McFadden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair Professor Todd Olson Professor Margaretta Lovell Professor Jeroen Dewulf Fall 2019 Abstract Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth McFadden Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair My dissertation examines painted representations of fur clothing in early modern England and the Netherlands. Looking at portraits of elites and urban professionals from 1509 to 1670, I argue that fur dress played a fundamentally important role in actively remaking the image of middle- class and noble subjects. While demonstrating that fur was important to establishing male authority in court culture, my project shows that, by the late sixteenth century, the iconographic status and fashionability of fur garments were changing, rendering furs less central to elite displays of magnificence and more apt to bourgeois demonstrations of virtue and gravitas. This project explores the changing meanings of fur dress as it moved over the bodies of different social groups, male and female, European and non-European. My project deploys methods from several disciplines to discuss how fur’s shifting status was related to emerging technologies in art and fashion, new concepts of luxury, and contemporary knowledge in medicine and health.

A Digital Exploration of 16th-Century Heretical Networks in the Italian Medical Context Methodological Challenges and Research Perspectives * Alessandra Celati ** After the Reformation began in 1517, Protestant ideas soon crossed theAlpsand spread out of Italian cities, fascinating (especially, but not exclusively) the human- ists and scholars who were part of the late-Renaissance intellectual environment. In particular, between the 1530s and the 1590s a great number of Italian physicians absorbed, promoted, and re-elaborated, often in radical terms, the reformed and heretical discourse. In this article I am presenting some research perspectives and methodological challenges concerning the application of social network research and digital humanities tools to the history of 16tʰ-century religious dissent. In par- ticular, I will discuss and examine the reconstruction, out of a sample of 200 cases, of a network of dissident physicians who faced religious repression and opposed dogmatic confessional boundaries in Italy, and in their European diaspora, as a part of my own ongoing interdisciplinary research.
