Germania latina - Latinitas teutonica
Author: Eckhard Kessler
Publisher: Brill Fink
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : un
Pages : 572
Book Description
Latein war einst die globale Sprache des Westens, wenn sie auch stets in regionalen Manifestationen auftrat. In den hier vorgelegten Bänden wird die immense Bedeutung untersucht, welche die lateinische Tradition für Geschichte und Kultur des deutschsprachigen und des skandinavischen Raumes hatte, und wie andererseits diese auf die lateinische Welt zurückwirkten. Dabei stellen die Autoren in 50 Einzeluntersuchungen die Forschung zur Germania latina auf eine neue Grundlage. Die neuzeitliche Entwicklung der lateinischen Tradition vom ersten Auftreten vulgärsprachlich-nationaler Eigenheiten bis zum heutigen Stand wird detailreich nachgezeichnet: von Ficinos deutschen Korrespondenten bis zum Apothekerlatein, von Melanchthons Wirkung auf slawische Grammatiken bis zu heutiger isländischer Nationalidentität, von deutscher Latinität in Nordamerika bis zu modernen Vertonungen antiker Texte reicht die Spannbreite dieses Unternehmens

The Book Trade in the Italian Renaissance
Author: Angela Nuovo
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004208496
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
This work offers the first English-language survey of the book industry in Renaissance Italy. Whereas traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity. Originally published in Italian as Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento (Milan: Franco Angeli, 1998; second, revised ed., 2003), this present English translation has not only been updated but has also been deeply revised and augmented.

Remembering in the Renaissance
Author: Kenneth Gouwens
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004247394
Category : History
Languages : la
Pages : 251
Book Description
An assessment of how four humanists in the court of Pope Clement VII - Pietro Alcionio, Pietro Corsi, Jacopo Sadoleto, and Pierio Valeriano - interpreted the cataclysmic Sack of Rome (1527), which called into question their earlier images of the Renaissance papacy. Building upon recent discussions in literary criticism and cognitive psychology, the author elucidates how these humanists' narratives gave meaningful shape to their memories and, in so doing, helped to redefine the image of Renaissance Rome as it would be "remembered" by subsequent generations.

Shaping the Netherlandish Canon
Author: Walter S. Melion
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226519597
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
A treatise on Dutch art on par with Vasari's critical history of Italian art, Karel van Mander's Schilder-Boeck (or Book on Picturing) has long been recognized for its critical and historical influence--and yet, until now, no comprehensive account of the book's conception, aims, and impact has been available. In this in-depth analysis of the content and context of Van Mander's work, Walter S. Melion reveals the Schilder-Boeck's central importance to an understanding of northern Renaissance and Baroque art. By interpreting the terminology employed in the Schilder-Boeck, Melion establishes the text's relationship to past and contemporary art theory. Van Mander is seen here developing his critical categories and then applying them to Ancient, Italian, and Netherlandish artists in order to mark changes within a culture and to characterize excellence for each region. Thus Melion demonstrates how Van Mander revised both the structure and critical language of Vasari's Lives to refute the Italian's claims for the superiority of the Tuscan style, and to clarify northern artistic traditions and the concerns of Netherlandish artists. A much needed corrective to the view that Dutch art of the period was lacking in theory, Melion's work offers a compelling account of a sixteenth- and seventeenth-century theoretical and critical perspective and shows how this perspective suggests a rereading of northern art.
