"A major scholarly achievement, which speaks to multiple disciplines and national traditions...Snyder offers an elegant introduction to the discourse of dissimulation in the courtly world of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe, then moves beyond to make an important, original intervention on a topic that stands at the center of current debates about modernity."—Albert Ascoli, author of Dante and the Making of a Modern Author "The Baroque is the time of 'Machiavellianism' in politics, ethics, and religion. It is the time of esthetics of ostentation, chiaroscuros, and monumental theatricality. Paradoxically, it is also the time when freedom of thought, the value of dissidence, questions of authenticity, debates about virtues, and practices of confessions come to the fore. Snyder brings all these issues to new life in this deft and powerful book."—Giuseppe Mazzotta, author of The New Map of the World: the Poetic Philosophy of Giambattista Vico

This book examines how secret knowledge was represented visually in ways that both revealed and concealed the true nature of that knowledge, giving and yet impeding access to it.

A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Middle Ages covers the period from 600 to 1500 in European and Islamic cultures. Arabic theories and terminology for the science of matter were introduced into the West and became known as 'alchemy'. Based in experiment and innovation – and bound up in networks of mining, manufacturing, trade and commerce – alchemical practice largely focused on the production of new substances through various processes. At the same time, alchemy was deeply theoretical, exploring the development of mineralogy, the perfection of corruptible matter, the prolongation of life, and the cure of diseases. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are theory and concepts; practice and experiment; laboratories and technology; culture and science; society and environment; trade and industry; learning and institutions; art and representation. Charles Burnett is Professor of the History of Islamic Influences in Europe at the Warburg Institute, UK. Sébastien Moureau is Assistant Professorat the FNRS, attached to the University of Louvain, Belgium. Volume 2 in the Cultural History of Chemistry set. General Editors: Peter J. T. Morris, University College London, UK, and Alan Rocke, Case Western Reserve University, USA.

Most widely read today as the author of the "Heptaméron," Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) was known in her lifetime as a deeply religious, mystical poet. Sister of the King of France and wife of the King of Navarre, her deeds and writings expressed and sought to promote a living faith in Christ, based on the gospels, and a vision for the renewal and reform of the Church in line with the teachings of French Evangelicals such as Lefèvre d’Étaples, Guillaume Briçonnet, and Gérard Roussel. In this volume, eleven eminent scholars offer new appreciations of Marguerite’s extraordinary life and rich and diverse literary œuvre, including, in addition to her short-story collection, dialogues, mirror poems, plays, songs, and an allegorical prison narrative. Contributors include, along with the editors, Philip Ford, Isabelle Garnier, Jean-Marie Le Gall, Reinier Leushuis, Jan Miernowski, Olivier Millet, Isabelle Pantin, Jonathan A. Reid, and Cynthia Skenazi.

In Secrets: Humanism, Mysticism, and Evangelism in Erasmus of Rotterdam, Bishop Guillaume Briçonnet, and Marguerite de Navarre, Jacob Vance argues that Erasmus and French Evangelical humanists made secrecy central to their literary thought. They revived Scriptural, medieval, and early Renaissance notions of secrecy in their spiritual and profane literature to advance the reforms in church and society that they advocated. Erasmus, Briçonnet, and Marguerite expanded on Origenian, Augustinian, and pseudo-Dionysian concepts of divine mystery, as being secret, throughout their works. By developing the idea that the divine remains both transcendent and immanent in the world of creation, these humanists explored, through literature, how the human spirit can either accede, or fail to accede, to the secrets of Christian wisdom.

Esculape et Dionysos invite à partager, sur le mode de l'excès et de la mesure à la fois, l'esprit que Jean Céard a insufflé à tous ceux qui ont collaboré avec lui ou travaillé sous sa direction ; ainsi ce recueil d'études contribue-t-il à illustrer l'intimité du scientifique et du littéraire, du plaisir et du sens, liaison profonde que le travail de ce pédagogue et chercheur a toujours souhaité comprendre. On y goûtera une cornucopie de joyeuseté scientifique tirant ses fruits des différents champs du savoir que Jean Céard a explorés tout au long de sa carrière (philosophie, sciences naturelles, théologie), enrichissant aussi des questions génériques et d'histoire littéraire qu'il a tout particulièrement éclairées (la poésie, la traduction), ou relançant l'étude d'un auteur dont il a renouvelé l'approche (Rabelais). Cette plongée dans la culture de la Renaissance vise, au fil de quelque soixante-dix enquêtes, à témoigner de la générosité intellectuelle d'un de ses plus éminents historiens et, au nom de la curiosité sans bornes de celui-ci, à entraîner le lecteur à se nourrir «d'admiration, chasse [et] ambiguïté» pour progresser sur la voie que Jean Céard a éclairée de manière décisive: l'interprétation des signes au XVIe siècle.

A 400-year history of the development of alchemy in England that brings to light the evolution of the practice. In medieval and early modern Europe, the practice of alchemy promised extraordinary physical transformations. Who would not be amazed to see base metals turned into silver and gold, hard iron into soft water, and deadly poison into elixirs that could heal the human body? To defend such claims, alchemists turned to the past, scouring ancient books for evidence of a lost alchemical heritage and seeking to translate their secret language and obscure imagery into replicable, practical effects. Tracing the development of alchemy in England over four hundred years, from the beginning of the fourteenth century to the end of the seventeenth, Jennifer M. Rampling illuminates the role of alchemical reading and experimental practice in the broader context of national and scientific history. Using new manuscript sources, she shows how practitioners like George Ripley, John Dee, and Edward Kelley, as well as many previously unknown alchemists, devised new practical approaches to alchemy while seeking the support of English monarchs. By reconstructing their alchemical ideas, practices, and disputes, Rampling reveals how English alchemy was continually reinvented over the space of four centuries, resulting in changes to the science itself. In so doing, The Experimental Fire bridges the intellectual history of chemistry and the wider worlds of early modern patronage, medicine, and science.

Even if specific pieces of research (on the sources or on individual authors, such as Pico, Agrippa, Erasmus, Montaigne, Sanches etc.) have given and are still producing significant results on Renaissance scepticism, an overall synthesis comprising the entire period has not been achieved yet. No predetermined idea of that complex historical subject that is Renaissance scepticism underlies this book, and we want to sacrifice the complexity of movements, personalities, tendencies and interpretations to any sort of a priori unity of theme even less. We acknowledge unhesitatingly that we had always thought of “scepticisms” in the plural, and believe that the different contexts (philosophical, religious, cultural) in which these forms grew up must also be taken into account. Furthermore, given the transversal nature and provocative character of the sceptical challenge, this book contains essays also on philosophers who, without being sceptics and sometimes engaged in fighting scepticism, nevertheless took up its challenge. The main authors considered in this book are: Vives, Castellio, Agrippa, Pedro de Valencia, Pico, Sanchez, Montaigne, Charron, Bruno, Bacon, and Campanella. The various essays in the book show the relevance of the philosophical thought of authors little known by the general public and put in new perspective important aspects of the thought of some of the great thinkers of the Renaissance.

Il est ancien le différend qui oppose philosophes et poètes, écrit déjà Platon dans la République. Pourtant, l'histoire vient à peine de commencer. D'emblée, philosophie et littérature se font concurrence. Et le différend n'est porté si haut que pour cacher une parenté honteuse ou dangereuse entre les deux discours. De sorte que l'histoire de la philosophie aura consisté en un long assujettissement de la littérature. Alors que la philosophie, avec Kant, puis avec l'avènement du savoir absolu hégélien, semble enfin triompher, l'histoire s'inverse ironiquement. Des Lumières françaises au premier romantisme allemand se développent les conditions de naissance d'une pratique et d'une idée nouvelles : la littérature, au sens propre du terme. Reprenant le désir d'absolu de la philosophie, elle en devient la relève et la ressource.L'avènement historique de la littérature, dans son sens moderne, est le point central de ce livre. Mais il aborde aussi la question plus générale des rapports entre les lettres et la philosophie, ainsi que les problèmes de méthode posés par la lecture philosophique des textes littéraires. Et il se propose, surtout, d'envisager la question de la fin de littérature - sa finalité et son éthique - au regard des fins que prétend lui assigner la philosophie.Dans quelle mesure la littérature est-elle l'« Idée » de la philosophie ? Telle est une des questions centrales de cet ouvrage.Camille DUMOULIÉ est professeur de littérature comparée à l'université de Paris X-Nanterre. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs livres consacrés aux rapports entre littérature et philosophie, dont Nietzsche et Artaud. Pour une éthique de la cruauté (PUF, 1992) et Le Désir (Cursus, Armand Colin, 1999). Introduction : La scène platonicienne. Questions de méthode. Littérature et histoire des idées. Perspectives comparatistes : le cas Nietzsche. Méthodes de lecture. Philosophie et théorie littéraire : la question du genre. L'invention des genres. La nouvelle : genre de l'événement. L'absolu littéraire. Crépuscule de la philosophie et naissance de la littérature. La contradiction infinie de la littérature. Le devenir-prose de la littérature ou « L'Idée de la poésie est la prose ». Poésie et philosophie aujourd'hui. En finir avec la métaphore ? Philosophie du roman. La vérité en prose. Proust et la recherche de la vérité. L'éthique de la littérature. Crise de la représentation. Le sujet littéraire. « Errer dans le sens de l'erreur ». La fin de la littérature. La littérature et la mort. La littérature et la vie. Conclusion : L'Idée de la philosophie est la littérature.

"Par ses travaux sur Port-Royal et le jansénisme, sur Pierre Bayle et le protestantisme en France et aux Refuges et sur l'expression et la diffusion de la libre pensée et de la tolérance en Europe, Antony McKenna a considérablement enrichi la connaissance et la compréhension des débats complexes qui jalonnent l'Âge classique et les Lumières. Les études réunies dans ce volume entendent rendre hommage à ces travaux essentiels qui éclairent la constitution de la modernité et de notre identité intellectuelle. Elles sont toutes héritières d'une réflexion qui articule étroitement histoire des idées, littérature et philosophie, ouverte aux grands auteurs comme aux minores, et attentive aux échanges intellectuels qui constituent une République des Lettres, par delà les frontières."--Page 4 of cover.
