Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of His Polish Contemporaries
ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ SI 2017 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Janusz Tazbir Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of his Polish Contemporaries Over thirty years ago Oskar Bartel, a distinguished scholar of the history of the Polish Reformation, bemoaned how little was known about the relations between preceptor Germaniae and the movement. In an article about the familiarity with Melanchthon, both as person and his oeuvre, in Poland, Bartel wrote: “wir besitzen einige Werke, meist Broschüren über Luther, Calvin, sogar Hus und Zwingli, aber ich habe keine über Melanchton gefunden”.1 Bartel’s article provided a recapitulation, if somewhat incomplete, of the state of research at the time, and essentially stopped at the death of the Reformer. There- fore, in this study I would like to point to the results of the last thirty years of research, on the one hand, and highlight the post-mortem impact of Melanchthon’s writings and the reflection of his person in the memories of the next generations, on the other. The new information about the contacts Melanchthon had with Poland that has come to light since the 1960s is scattered across a number of articles or monographs; there is to date no separate study devoted to the German Reformer. Only a handful of contributions have been published. No wonder therefore that twenty years after the publication of Bartel’s article, Roman Nir begins his study of corre- spondence between Melanchthon and Krzycki thus: “Relatively little 1 O.

Johann Tetzel in Order to Pay for Expanding His Authority to the Electorate of Mainz
THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS CURATED BY DR. ARMIN SIEDLECKI FEB 24 - JULY 7, 2017 THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, a series of statements and proposals about the power of indulgences and the nature of repentance, forgiveness and salvation. Originally intended for academic debate, the document quickly gained popularity, garnering praise and condemnation alike, and is generally seen as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This exhibit presents the context of Martin Luther’s Theses, the role of indulgences in sixteenth century religious life and the use of disputations in theological education. Shown also are the early responses to Luther’s theses by both his supporters and his opponents, the impact of Luther’s Reformation, including the iconic legacy of Luther’s actions as well as current attempts by Catholics and Protestants to find common ground. Case 1: Indulgences In Catholic teaching, indulgences do not effect the forgiveness of sins but rather serve to reduce the punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. The sale of indulgences was initially intended to defray the cost of building the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome and was understood as a work of charity, because it provided monetary support for the church. Problems arose when Albert of Brandenburg – a cardinal and archbishop of Magdeburg – began selling indulgences aggressively with the help of Johann Tetzel in order to pay for expanding his authority to the Electorate of Mainz. 2 Albert of Brandenburg, Archbishop of Mainz Unused Indulgence (Leipzig: Melchior Lotter, 1515?) 1 sheet ; 30.2 x 21 cm. -

DE LOVAINA (BÉLGICA) Investigador ORCID: 0000-0003-3739-8465 Resumen: En el siglo XVI se hablaban y se practicaban varias lenguas en Flandes, especialmente en la ciudad universitaria de Lovaina y en Amberes, centro económico de los Países Bajos españoles. El multilingüismo que se practicaba era por un lado un multilingüismo ‘vertical’, implicando el estudio de las tres lenguas ‘sagradas’ (hebreo, griego, latín); este tipo de estudio se concretizó con la fundación del Collegium Trilingue de Lovaina (1517). Por otro lado, estaba muy difundido un multilingüismo ‘horizontal’, que implicaba las len- guas vernáculas, como el español, el francés y el italiano; este tipo de multilingüismo se explica por el ascenso de la clase comerciante. La presente contribución analiza la documentación disponible (sobre los maestros de lengua y los instrumentos didácticos) y rastrea los factores contextuales que influían en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en Flandes, con particular atención a Lovaina. Palabras clave: Historia de la enseñanza de lenguas: Instrumentos didácticos; Multilingüismo (español, francés, italiano); Flandes; Collegi- um Trilingue de Lovaina; siglo XVI Abstract: In 16th-century Flanders, various languages were spoken and practiced, especially in the university town of Louvain and the city of Antwerp, the economic heart of the Southern Low Countries. -
Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture. -

Maxwell Senior Supervisor Associate Professor and Director Publishing Program, Simon Fraser University Mauve Pagé Supervisor Lecturer Publishing Program, Simon Fraser University Michael Joyce Supervisor Web and Data Services Developer SFU Library, Simon Fraser University date approved: January 25, 2017 ii abstract This report stems from a joint commemoration in 2015 of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Simon Fraser University and the five-hundredth anniversary of the death of pioneering Renaissance publisher and scholar Aldus Manutius. To mark these occasions, Publishing@SFU and SFU Library Special Collections joined forces to create a web-based resource comprising an outstanding selection of Aldines from the Wosk–McDonald collection, one of the largest such in North America. This report details the creation of Aldus@SFU, a prototype digital exhibition of the collection intended to be as widely accessible as possible on the Internet through ubiquitous technologies. Adopting a syncretic approach that emphasizes the continuous relationship between innovation and tradition, this report outlines and explores the key intersections between Aldus’ plan to popularize classical literature and the core mission of our project: to contribute to public knowledge by making SFU Aldines conveniently and freely available online via a flexible, mobile- optimized user interface. -

Angela Nuovo Aldus Manutius and the World of Venetian Publishing
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano Angela Nuovo Aldus Manutius and the world of Venetian publishing Whenever we undertake the study of Aldus Manutius (ca. 1450 – 1515) the feeling that we are dwarves standing on the shoulders of giants is unavoidable. This is not said for form’s sake, as centuries of scholarship on the subject have produced wonderful studies which are invariably stimulating, regardless of the times one rereads them.1 Yet, some questions regarding the factors responsible for Aldus` success amid the highly competitive world of Renaissance printing, remain only partially resolved. In this context, it is useful to reconsider the history of his activities from three different points of view: first, the Aldine firm as a centre of innovation, second, the reactions of his competitors to these innovations, and third, the extraordinary capacity of Aldus, the man and humanist, to construct a diversity of networks. Although Aldus has always been regarded as the prototype of the scholar-publisher, that is, the independent innovator who creates his own mission and goals and follows them enthusiastically, it is clear that much of his success resulted from his ability to form networks of agents stemming from a variety of social and economic strata, but all endowed with various types of expertise and skills and linked in a cooperative process of innovation. This process is what David Lane, the theorist of innovation, has called a series of generative relationships represented by groups, whose actions produce something which one of their members could not have produced alone: an unforeseeable outcome resulting from the interaction between two or more individuals.2 The roots of innovation 1 The standard point of departure is Antoine-Augustin Renouard, Annales de l'Imprimerie des Alde, ou Histoire des trois Manuce et de leurs éditions, 3e édition (Paris: Renouard, 1834) pp. -
Book Design, Typography, Authorship, Redaction and Publishing of Texts
In aedibus Aldi – Aldus & Co. by Andy Hadel 22 December 2008 Abstract “In aedibus Aldi” Aldus & Co. was the name of the press that brought substantial innovations to the nascent industry of printing at the end of the fifteenth century. Within two decades, the notion of how a publishing house and a publisher functioned became crystallized, if not in name, in practice, leading to new standards of book design, typography, authorship, redaction and publishing of texts. This study seeks to understand the actual technical, industrial and artistic transformations that were affected by Aldus and his cohorts. Further, the study seeks to frame the progress made in light of the great changes influenced by Humanism. Through his scholarship and personal rapport with collaborators such as Erasmus, the printed books of Aldus Manutius (the Latinized name of Teobaldo Mannucci) found new markets in cinquecento Italy and abroad that went beyond the traditionally closed manuscript culture from which they sprang. Indeed his books represent the revival of interest in the thought, writing and art of the ancient world. The printed books emanating from the Aldine Press in many ways are a catalogue of the accomplishments of the Renaissance as we know it. Outline of Text 1. Introduction 2. Book Design 3. Typography 4. Editing, Authorship and Publishing 5. Conclusion 6. References 7. Notes Introduction In 1469 the Venetian Senate granted a privilege to Johannes of Spires for a period of 5 years. He was wise to guard his monopoly because publishing wasn’t an easy business to start. First, texts were needed and the manuscript culture from which this early modern technology springs essentially resisted the idea of book printing. -
A Risky Enterprise: E Aldine Edition of Galen, the Failures of the Editors
Early Science and Medicine 17 (2012) 446-466 www.brill.com/esm A Risky Enterprise: e Aldine Edition of Galen, the Failures of the Editors, and the Shadow of Erasmus of Rotterdam Lorenzo Perilli University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy* Abstract e Aldine edition of Galen, awaited for more than 25 years, was perhaps the most risky enterprise in the whole history of the publishing house, and it almost brought Aldus’ heirs to bankruptcy. Although the editors were among the most renowned specialists of the time, the edition was harshly criticized by one former friend and col- laborator of Aldus, Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. Why? Was the edition so bad, were the manuscripts on which the edition was based responsible for its quality? Or were there other reasons for Erasmus’ complaint? is paper tries to give some hints in order to answer such questions, arguing that the role of Erasmus in the assessment of the value of the edition should take us into Aldus’ house in the period of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century, and into the political and religious debate of the time. Keywords Aldus Manutius, Galen, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Renaissance Venice, ancient Greek medicine, Catholic Church Published in 1525-1526, the five-volume Aldine edition of Galen in Greek was quickly adopted as authoritative, and was heavily relied on by subsequent editors and translators of Galen’s works.1 One of the * University of Rome Tor Vergata, Via Columbia 1, 00133 Rome, Italy (lorenzo.
