Book The Italian Academies 1525 1700

Download or read book The Italian Academies 1525 1700 written by Jane E. Everson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual societies known as Academies played a vital role in the development of culture, and scholarly debate throughout Italy between 1525-1700. They were fundamental in establishing the intellectual networks later defined as the ‘République des Lettres’, and in the dissemination of ideas in early modern Europe, through print, manuscript, oral debate and performance. This volume surveys the social and cultural role of Academies, challenging received ideas and incorporating recent archival findings on individuals, networks and texts. Ranging over Academies in both major and smaller or peripheral centres, these collected studies explore the interrelationships of Academies with other cultural forums. Individual essays examine the fluid nature of academies and their changing relationships to the political authorities; their role in the promotion of literature, the visual arts and theatre; and the diverse membership recorded for many academies, which included scientists, writers, printers, artists, political and religious thinkers, and, unusually, a number of talented women. Contributions by established international scholars together with studies by younger scholars active in this developing field of research map out new perspectives on the dynamic place of the Academies in early modern Italy. The publication results from the research collaboration ‘The Italian Academies 1525-1700: the first intellectual networks of early modern Europe’ funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and is edited by the senior investigators.

  • Publisher : Oxford University Press on Demand
  • Release : 1997
  • ISBN : 9780198205463
  • Pages : 432 pages

Download or read book Legislation and Justice written by European Science Foundation and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1997 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No enquiry into the making of the modern European state can ignore the part played by law. This comprehensive scholarly volume examines in detail how states availed themselves of juridicial techniques in order to mould their institutions, to take control over their territory, and to exercisepower over their subjects. The contributors are leading scholars in the field, who explore the administration of justice and the promulgation of legislation across Europe over a period of several centuries, in order to uncover the role of the law in the birth and development of the European state. The Origins of the Modern State in Europe series arises from an important international research programme sponsored by the European Science foundation. the aim of the series, which comprises seven volumes, is to bring together specialists from different countries, who reinterpret from acomparative European perspective different aspects of the formation of the state over the long period from the beginning of the thirteenth to the end of the eighteenth century. One of the main achievments of the research programme has been to overcome the long-established historiographical tendencyto regard states mainly from the viewpoint of their twentieth-century borders.

Book La Genoinda

  • Author : Giulio Rospigliosi
  • Publisher : Lulu.com
  • Release : 2014-01-03
  • ISBN : 1291691219
  • Pages : 169 pages

Download or read book La Genoinda written by Giulio Rospigliosi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giulio Rospigliosi (1600-1669), eletto papa nel 1667 con il nome di Clemente IX, fu per un trentennio il protagonista del teatro musicale romano. La "Genoinda" fu rappresentata per la prima volta nel 1641 a Roma nel Palazzo della Cancelleria. Genoinda è il nome che Rospigliosi dà a Genoveffa di Brabante, moglie del conte palatino Sigfrido di Treviri: un personaggio di cui non esiste nessun riscontro storico; tuttavia fu venerata come santa nella regione del Palatinato, anche se non è mai stata consacrata dalla chiesa cattolica. Su di lei furono scritte varie leggende agiografiche. Rospigliosi ne fa non una santa, ma una moglie esemplare, vittima prima di una congiura di palazzo e poi protagonista di una avventurosa vicenda che la reintegra nell'amore del marito e sul trono che le compete.
