Download or read book The Renaissance and Reformation in Northern Europe written by Kenneth R. Bartlett and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated version of Humanism and the Northern Renaissance now includes over 60 documents exploring humanist and Renaissance ideals, the zeal of religion, and the wealth of the new world. Together, the sources illuminate the chaos and brilliance of the historical period--as well as its failures and inconsistencies. The reader has been thoroughly revised to meet the needs of the undergraduate classroom. Over 30 historical documents have been added, including material by Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes, and Galileo Galilei. In the introduction, Bartlett and McGlynn identify humanism as the central expression of the European Renaissance and explain how this idea migrated from Italy to northern Europe. The editors also emphasize the role of the church and Christianity in northern Europe and detail the events leading up to the Reformation. A short essay on how to read historical documents is included. Each reading is preceded by a short introduction and ancillary materials can be found on UTP's History Matters website (www.utphistorymatters.com).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958, A Guide to Western Architecture charts the origins of the system of architectural design that was perfected in Greece, follows its development under the Roman Empire and describes the achievements of the Byzantine architects. Passing through Romanesque to Gothic, the contributions made by Mediaeval builders to structure and design are recorded, and then the impact of the Renaissance on architecture, and its characteristic development in the different European countries. The transplanting of Renaissance ideas to the New World is covered, and finally the origins and nature of the new Western architecture occupy the last section of the book. The Appendix includes a list of the principal architects, and brief notes on their work, from the 5th century B. C. to the end of the Renaissance.

Download or read book The Practical Renaissance written by Donna A. Seger and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sort of information did people in early modern England seek? In The Practical Renaissance Donna Seger explores the diffusion and reception of prescriptive publications over the 16th and 17th centuries. Published in an age of dynamic religious and political change, these texts demonstrate the universal desire for health and wealth, a fortified body and an orderly household. Showing how classical and continental information had been "Englished" over time, this book shows how new publications supplanted these traditional ideas with more empirical and authoritative knowledge. Published in an age of dynamic religious and political change, these texts, which include plague tracts, husbandry handbooks, printed recipe books, and navigation manuals, demonstrate the universal desire for health and wealth, a fortified body and an orderly household. Divided into three parts, the opening chapters explore factors which affected the diffusion of practical knowledge via prescriptive texts. Part two focuses on the interaction between new discoveries and traditional authority, and the final section considers debates in the 'medical marketplace', the term 'knowledge-mongerer' and the commodification of knowledge at this time. A thorough exploration into the popular and pragmatic expressions of the period, The Practical Renaissance offers a new window into the movement in which knowledge and information became power.

Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique :"Rares sont les motifs architecturaux qui témoignent d'une persistance telle que les ordres anthropomorphes, depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à la période actuelle, en passant par le Moyen Age. Leur évolution s'articule par de subtiles interactions entre les domaines sculptural, architectural et pictural, alors qu'une fortune théorique durable a été instaurée par la description détaillée par Vitruve des "Perses" et des "Caryatides" dans son traité De architectura libri decem.Contrairement aux ordres architecturaux canoniques, ce "sixième ordre" invite à des interprétations et des variations plus souples et plus personnelles. II put ainsi assimiler des traditions locales très diverses lors de son parcours triomphal dans toute l'Europe. Si la signification originelle de soumission et de châtiment de ces supports reste valable, les valeurs narratives ne cessèrent de s'enrichir et de s'amplifier, en faisant de ce motif un protagoniste abondamment présent dans de multiples genres artistiques, des meubles aux monuments les plus prestigieux, et qui révèle les mutations typologiques et stylistiques au fil du temps. Les contributions réunies dans ces deux volumes fournissent un large panorama européen de ces occurrences, offrant un large éventail de synergies et d'affinités révélatrices"

Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
