This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the analysis, English translation, and critical edition of the Latin text of The Little History of the Lombards of Benevento, thus offering an important contribution for a better understanding of early medieval southern Italian (and Mediterranean) history. In the 840s, having passed the danger of subjugation by Charlemagne, southern Italy’s Lombards experienced a bloody civil war that put an end to their unity and turned southern Italy into the playground of several competing powers: Lombard lords, the Neapolitans, the Frankish and the Byzantine Empires, the Muslims, and, sometimes, even the papacy. At the end of the ninth century, the Cassinese monk Erchempert composed a chronicle about this period that blamed the southern Lombard leaders for the terrible crisis of southern Italy. It was Erchempert’s desire that future generations could learn from the folly of their forbearers, and his chronicle has since become the most relevant source for southern Italy between the 770s and the 880s. The book will appeal to scholars and students of chronicles, Lombards, Franks, Byzantines, and Muslims in early medieval Italy, as well as all those interested in medieval Europe.

The history traces the changing fortunes of the Lombards, the last of the migratory Germanic peoples to enter the western part of the old Roman Empire, from their first appearance in the West in the sixth century to the middle of the eighth century. The popularity of Paul the Deacon's book has endured over the centuries and, although there have been numerous translations and editions, this remains the only one in English.

Book excerpt: Why is a region in northern Italy called Lombardy? It was named after the Germanic barbarians known as the Lombards. As one of several founding ethnic groups, they left their mark on the peninsula. They established dukedoms that set the country on a path to the formation of many independent city-states during the Late Middle Ages. Previously a nomadic people, who, according to legend, came from Scandinavia, the Lombards settled first in northern Italy or what is today called Lombardy and then later expanded their kingdom to encompass most of Italy, from the Alps to Mezzogiorno, or southern Italy. The Lombards, living up to their designation as barbarians by the Romans, were a warlike people. The chronicle of their history is one of battles against other barbarian tribes, the Romans, the Byzantines, Muslims, and the pope and his army. The Lombards were finally removed from power by the overwhelming forces of Charlemagne in northern Italy and the Normans in the south. From time to time, the Lombards fought enemies on all fronts. But their most intriguing struggles were against each other. Claimants to the throne and regional dukes continuously vied for power. They were invariably duplicitous in negotiations and sought allies wherever they could find them. The Lombard duchies were conquered one after another by foreign invaders, and their culture and language gradually disappeared, being absorbed into the matrix of cultures that subsequently came to dominate Italy. In this book, you will learn: The route the nomadic Lombards followed as they migrated from northern Germany to Italy. How the Lombards eventually turned against the Romans who invited them to settle in Italy. How the first Lombard king in Italy was murdered in 572 CE by his wife as revenge for the murder of her father. Why the Lombards reinstituted their kingship after ten years of managing without a king. The intricacies of Lombard strategic alliances that allowed them to expand their kingdom from the north of Italy to the southern tip of the Italian Peninsula. Why the Lombards gradually abandoned a heretical Christian sect and adopted orthodox Catholicism. The role played by a traveling Irish monk who established monasteries in Lombardy. How the chronicler of the Lombards, Paul the Deacon, came to write the history of his people. What the Lombard laws tell us about the people's culture. How the Lombard rule in northern Italy collapsed before Charlemagne's army and the Normans' success in ending Lombard rule in southern Italy.

Download or read book The Life of Lambert Lombard 1565 and Effigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries 1572 written by Dominicus Lampsonius and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the earliest written texts on the history and theory of Netherlandish art, these two key writings are now available together in an English translation. Dominicus Lampsonius’s The Life of Lambert Lombard (1565) is the earliest published biography of a Netherlandish artist. This neo-Latin account of the life of the painter, architect, and draftsman Lambert Lombard of Liège offers a theoretical exposition on the nature and ideal practice of Netherlandish art, emphasizing Lombard’s intellectual curiosity, interest in antiquity, attentive study of the human body, and exemplary generosity as a teacher. This volume offers the first English edition of The Life of Lambert Lombard, complemented by a new translation of the inscriptions Lampsonius composed to accompany the Effigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries (1572), a cycle of twenty-three engraved portraits of Netherlandish artists developed in collaboration with the print publisher Hieronymus Cock. Together, The Life of Lambert Lombard and the Effigies established frameworks for a distinctly Netherlandish history of art. Responding to a growing sense of Netherlandish cultural and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt, these texts proposed a critical alternative to Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists and its Italian model of art historical development, celebrating local ingenuity and skill. They remain the starting point for any history of the northern Renaissance.

Book excerpt: Lombard has been called the "Lilac Village" since the late 1920s when William R. Plum, affectionately known as the "Colonel," bestowed his world-renowned lilac collection to the village for use as its first public park. Colonel Plum's 2.5-acre estate was known as Lilacia and began in 1911 after a trip to the Lemoine Lilac Gardens in France. By the time Plum passed away in 1927, he had amassed over 200 varieties of lilacs and had the largest collection of French hybrids in the world. Jens Jensen, the famous landscape architect, designed a public space out of Plum's lilac collection with winding paths of native limestone, tulips by the thousands, and a lily pond in the park. The first community-wide Lilac Festival was held in May of 1930, unveiling Jensen's Lilacia and including a Lilac Queen and Court, a pageant, parade, and wide variety of events and festivities celebrating the village's new park.

Download or read book An Armchair Traveller s History of Apulia written by Desmond Seward and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Armchair Traveller's History of Apulia is the story of the heel of Italy - Puglia - as told by past and present day travellers. It has beautiful landscapes, cave towns and frescoed grotto churches, wonderful old cities with Romanesque cathedrals, Gothic castles and a wealth of Baroque architecture. And yet, while far from inaccessible, until quite recently it was seldom visited by tourists. This portrait of Apulia concentrates on the Apulian people down the ages. Conquerors, whether Messapians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Lombards, Byzantines, Normans, Angevins, Germans or Spaniards, have all left their mark on the region in a cultural palimpsest that at first sight bewilders, but which hugely repays investigation. Arranged in short chapters, the narrative travels from north to south, making it an ideal companion for exploring Apulia by car. The Gazetteer, which is cross-referenced to the main text, highlights cities, churches, cathedrals, castles and sites of historical importance to the visitor. For travellers on the ground or students at their desks, this elegant, cloth-bound book will prove invaluable.
