Download or read book The World in Venice written by Bronwen Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positing a dynamic relationship between print culture and social experience, Bronwen Wilson's The World in Venice focuses on the printed image during a century of profound transformation. City views, costume illustrations, events, and portraits of locals and foreigners are brought together to show how printmakers responded to an expanding image of the world in Renaissance Venice, and how, in turn, prints influenced the ways in which individuals thought about themselves. Woodcuts and engravings of cities and inhabitants of Europe, and those of distant lands, initiated a sudden and pervasive experience with alterity that redefined the relations of Europeans to the world. By condensing the world into pictures, print enabled a radically novel and vicarious experience of others. Wilson explores the overlapping and evolving relations between space, vision, print, and identity, and engages with current scholarly debates concerning ethnicities, gender and geography, copies and originals, travel, nationhood, fashion, urban life, visuality, and the body. Venice was one of the largest cities in Renaissance Europe, a trading crossroads, and a centre of print. The World in Venice shows how Venetian identity came to be envisioned within the growing global context that print constructed for it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRINTING WAS introduced into Venice by John of Speyer, in the year 1469, and the first book which he printed was the Epistolce ad familiares of Cicero: « Primus in Adriaca formis impressit aenis Urbe libros Spira genitus de gente Johannes. » he says at the end of this edition. In the same year 1469 John of Speyer published the Storia naturale of Pliny, in a great folio volume, a stupendous typographical work and a second edition of the Epistolce ad "familiares." He then began to print the work of S. Augustine "De Civitate Dei," but was unable to complete it, as he died suddenly at the end of that year. His brother Windelin having finished and published this work in 1470, recorded in the colophon how death had cut short his brother's work, and announced his own succession, adding that he was not inferior to his brother in the art and that he had taken up his residence in Venice. « Vindelimus adest iusdem frater et arteNon minor, hadriacaque morabitur urbe. » The press of Vindelinus was most active; in the year 1470 alone he published seventeen works, then from that year up to 1477 editions of Latin and Italian authors followed one another in large numbers, many being editiones principes, as of the Latins: Virgil, Sallust, Martial, Quintus Curtius, Priscian, Cicero "De naiura deorum" and "De officiis"; of the Italians: the "Canioniere del Petrarca" and the "Divina comedia de Dante Alighieri" with the commentary of Benvenuto da Imola. The two printers of Speyer printed in a very beautiful round character made in imitation of the best Italian manuscripts and especially of the antiphonaries and other choral books of the churches of Italy. Windelin also cut Gothic type, having as early as 1471 published in fine gothic characters the work of Panormita: Pars secunda Lecturae in secundum librum Decretalium (Panzer III. p. 73, n. 35).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Venetian Printing Illustrated But Venetian typography owes its great fame still more especially to Aldus Manutius; above all for his celebrated editions of the Greek classics. Born in 1450 in the little district of Bassiano near Vel letri (1) instructed in Greek and Latin first in Rome by Gasparo Veronese and Do mizio Calderino, then in Ferrara by Bat tista Guarini; he came to Venice in 1489 with the intention of establishing a print ing office to be chiefly devoted to the pub lication of Greek works.

Download or read book A Companion to Early Modern Rome 1492 1692 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Bainton Prize for Reference Works This volume, edited by Pamela M. Jones, Barbara Wisch, and Simon Ditchfield, focuses on Rome from 1492-1692, an era of striking renewal: demographic, architectural, intellectual, and artistic. Rome’s most distinctive aspects--including its twin governments (civic and papal), unique role as the seat of global Catholicism, disproportionately male population, and status as artistic capital of Europe--are examined from numerous perspectives. This book of 30 chapters, intended for scholars and students across the academy, fills a noteworthy gap in the literature. It is the only multidisciplinary study of 16th- and 17th-century Rome that synthesizes and critiques past and recent scholarship while offering innovative analyses of a wide range of topics and identifying new avenues for research. Committee's statement "The volume includes a multidisciplinary study of early modern Rome by focusing on the 16th and 17th centuries by re-examining traditional topics anew. This volume will be of tremendous use to scholars and students because its focus is very well conceptualized and organized, while still covering a breadth of topics. The authors celebrate Rome’s diversity by exploring its role not only as the seat of the Catholic church, but also as home to large communities of diplomats, printers, and working artisans, all of whom contributed to the city’s visual, material, and musical cultures".

Download or read book The Venetian Discovery of America written by Elizabeth Horodowich and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Renaissance Venetians saw the New World with their own eyes. As the print capital of early modern Europe, however, Venice developed a unique relationship to the Americas. Venetian editors, mapmakers, translators, writers, and cosmographers represented the New World at times as a place that the city's mariners had discovered before the Spanish, a world linked to Marco Polo's China, or another version of Venice, especially in the case of Tenochtitlan. Elizabeth Horodowich explores these various and distinctive modes of imagining the New World, including Venetian rhetorics of 'firstness', similitude, othering, comparison, and simultaneity generated through forms of textual and visual pastiche that linked the wider world to the Venetian lagoon. These wide-ranging stances allowed Venetians to argue for their different but equivalent participation in the Age of Encounters. Whereas historians have traditionally focused on the Spanish conquest and colonization of the New World, and the Dutch and English mapping of it, they have ignored the wide circulation of Venetian Americana. Horodowich demonstrates how with their printed texts and maps, Venetian newsmongers embraced a fertile tension between the distant and the close. In doing so, they played a crucial yet heretofore unrecognized role in the invention of America.

Book excerpt: Francesco Colonna's weird, erotic, allegorical antiquarian tale, "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili", together with all of its 174 original woodcut illustrations, has been called the first "stream of consciousness" novel and was one of the most important documents of Renaissance imagination and fantasy. The author -- presumed to be a friar of dubious reputation -- was obsessed by architecture, landscape and costume (it is not going too far to say sexually obsessed) and its woodcuts are a primary source for Renaissance ideas.
