Greeks, Books and Libraries in Renaissance Venice by Rosa Maria Piccione Pdf

What does writing Greek books mean at the height of the Cinquecento in Venice? The present volume provides fascinating insights into Greek-language book production at a time when printed books were already at a rather advanced stage of development with regards to requests, purchases and exchanges of books; copying and borrowing practices; relations among intellectuals and with institutions, and much more. Based on the investigation into selected institutional and private libraries – in particular the book collection of Gabriel Severos, guide of the Greek Confraternity in Venice – the authors present new pertinent evidence from Renaissance books and documents, discuss methodological questions, and propose innovative research perspectives for a sociocultural approach to book histories.

The Greek Library of Saints John and Paul (San Zanipolo) at Venice by Donald F. Jackson Pdf

"Giochino Torriano, superior of the community of San Zanipolo at Venice and later Governor General of the Dominican Order at Rome, began collecting Greek manuscripts to aid in his instruction of noble young Italians. This collection became serious when he acquired several volumes of the famed teacher John Argyropulus late in the 1480s. This study traces the growth of the collection through the 1490s, negotiations with the Venetian Senate to join Torriano’s books with the sequestered collection of Cardinal Bessarion, dissolution of the collection after the death of Torriano in 1500, its use early in the 16th century by Marcus Musurus, and final abandonment of the San Marco Library plan. Reconstruction is based upon notes and inventories made by Torriano himself (a recent discovery by Susy Marcon of the Marciana), Janus Lascaris, Martin Richter (unpublished), Conrad Gesner , Girolamo Vielmi (unpublished) and Filippo Tomasini which permit identiification of many manuscripts separated from those now maintained at the Marciana, presently housed in modern collections of northern Europe"--Publisher's website.

Gabriel Harvey and the History of Reading by Anthony Grafton,Nicholas Popper,William H. Sherman Pdf

Few articles in the humanities have had the impact of Lisa Jardine and Anthony Grafton’s seminal ‘Studied for Action’ (1990), a study of the reading practices of Elizabethan polymath and prolific annotator Gabriel Harvey. Their excavation of the setting, methods and ambitions of Harvey’s encounters with his books ignited the History of Reading, an interdisciplinary field which quickly became one of the most exciting corners of the scholarly cosmos. A generation inspired by the model of Harvey fanned out across the world’s libraries and archives, seeking to reveal the many creative, unexpected and curious ways that individuals throughout history responded to texts, and how these interpretations in turn illuminate past worlds. Three decades on, Harvey’s example and Jardine’s work remain central to cutting-edge scholarship in the History of Reading. By uniting ‘Studied for Action’ with published and unpublished studies on Harvey by Jardine, Grafton and the scholars they have influenced, this collection provides a unique lens on the place of marginalia in textual, intellectual and cultural history. The chapters capture subsequent work on Harvey and map the fields opened by Jardine and Grafton’s original article, collectively offering a posthumous tribute to Lisa Jardine and an authoritative overview of the History of Reading.

Methodius of Olympus: de Lepra by Katharina Bracht,Anna Jouravel,Janina Sieber Pdf

Der Sammelband untersucht den "Text", den "Prätext" und "Kontexte" von Methodius' Schrift De lepra aus dem 3./4. Jahrhundert. Darin wird der im alttestamentlichen Buch Levitikus (Lev 13) geschilderte Aussatz christlich-allegorisch ausgelegt. Nach der Untersuchung der griechisch-slavischen Überlieferungsgeschichte des Textes und einer Analyse der darin vorliegenden Intertextualitäten widmet sich der Band Methodius' Prätext, i.e. Levitikus 13 in der Fassung der Septuaginta. Daraufhin werden verschiedene Kontexte von Methodius' De lepra in den Blick genommen: die rabbinische Rezeption von Lev 13, die medizinhistorischen Hintergründe des vielgestaltigen "Aussatzes" in der Spätantike und die Realien der spätantiken Textilherstellung, sowie die Methodius-Rezeption in der Spätantike und im Mittelalter anhand der Methodius zugeschriebenen Apokalypse des Pseudo-Methodius. Abgeschlossen wird der Band mit einem Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion um die Editionspraxis antiker Texte im 21. Jahrhundert zwischen Wissenschaft und Verlagswesen. Der Sammelband ergänzt den parallel erscheinenden Editionsband (Nr.##) und soll so dem besseren inhaltlichen Verständnis von De lepra dienen.

Donati Graeci by Federica Ciccolella Pdf

The starting point generally acknowledged for the revival of Greek studies in the West is 1397, when the Byzantine Manuel Chrysoloras began to teach Greek in Florence. With his Erotemata, Chrysoloras gave Westerners a tool to learn Greek; the search for the ideal Greek textbook, however, continued even after the publication of the best Byzantine-humanist grammars. The four Greek Donati edited in this book - 'Latinate' Greek grammars, based on the Latin schoolbook entitled Ianua or Donatus - belong to the many pedagogical experiments documented in manuscripts. They attest to a tradition of Greek studies that probably originated in Venice and/or Crete: a tradition certainly inferior to the Florentine scholarship in quality and circulation, but still important in the cultural history of the Renaissance.

Art of Renaissance Venice, 1400 1600 by Loren Partridge Pdf

"A comprehensive and richly illustrated survey of Venetian Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and painting created between 1400 and 1600 addressed to students, travellers, and the general public. The works of art are analysed within Venice's cultural circumstances--political, economic, intellectual, and religious--and in terms of function, style, iconography, patronage, classical sources, gender, art theories, and artist's innovations, rivalries, and social status. The text has been divided into two parts--the fifteenth century and the sixteenth century--each part preceded by an introduction that recounts the history of Venice to 1500 and to 1600 respectively, including the city's founding, ideology, territorial expansion, social classes, governmental structure, economy, and religion. The twenty-six chapters have been organized to lead readers systematically through the major artistic developments within the three principal categories of art--governmental, ecclesiastic, and domestic--and have been arranged sequentially as follows: civic architecture and urbanism, churches, church decoration (ducal tombs and altarpieces), refectories and refectory decoration (section two only), confraternities (architecture and decoration), palaces, palace decoration (devotional works, portraits, secular painting, and halls of state), villas, and villa decoration. The conclusion offers an overview of the major types of Venetian art and architectural patronage and their funding sources"--Provided by publisher.
