Caxton'S Recuyell Of The Historyes Of Troye - A Critical Edition

~~99,38€~~ 89,44€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 «This edition is the fruit of Professor Matsumotos lifelong devotion to the study of the story of Troy in the Middle Ages, beginning with his edition of the major alliterative poem The Destruction of Troy by John Clerk. As well as articles on the subject, Professor Matsumoto has published invaluable concordances to The Destruction of Troy, The Laud Troy Book and John Lydgates massive Troy Book. Given the renewed interest in William Caxton, this excellent edition of The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye makes a valuable contribution to scholarship.» (Thorlac Turville-Petre, Professor Emeritus, University of Nottingham) The book is about the genealogy of the ancient Greek gods and the legend of Troy. William Caxton, for almost thirty years, led his life as a merchant, a diplomat and a cosmopolitan in Bruges, at that time the most prosperous international center of trade in northern Europe. This book is his translation of Raoul Lefèvres French original, as well as being the first printed book in English. The undercurrent throughout the book is an everlasting and universal theme of mankind: «love and war/peace», the human nature of love and the folly of war. Thus, the ancient pagan gods are humanized and modernized in the late Middle Ages. Both Lefèvre and Caxton shared the antiwar sentiments in this book, which consists of the genealogy of the ancient Greek gods in Books I and II and the Troy legend in Book III. This new edition, with an extensive introduction by the editor, makes this text accessible to new audiences.

Building Family Identity - The Orsini Castle Of Bracciano From Fiefdom To Duchy (14701698)

75,13€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Orsini of Bracciano were among the most powerful and influential signori di castelli of early modern Italy, controlling a vast domain that stretched from the Tyrrehenian Sea to the mountains of Abruzzo. This book explores the construction and decoration of their principal headquarters north of Rome between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries as well as the careers and artistic patronage of its leaders, who included captains, condottieri, cardinals and urban aristocrats. The castle is one of the largest in Latium and was once a centre of courtly culture and diplomacy, hosting princes, kings and popes. Today it boasts many beautifully preserved artworks of the Renaissance era, including frescos by Antoniazzo Romano and the Zuccari brothers. The contributors to this study investigate the castle as a visual expression of the family identity of its builders. They trace its evolution from the fortified capital of a large fiefdom at the dawn of the age of artillery to the palatial residence of a ducal dynasty in the aftermath of the Italian Wars. Richly illustrated with numerous historic and new photographs, this book analyses a fascinating and mostly neglected facet of early modern Italian culture: the artistic patronage of seigniorial clans.

Vera Amicitia - Classical Notions Of Friendship In Renaissance Thought And Culture

68,70€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book investigates the meanings of the notion of friendship in the Renaissance from two perspectives, philological and philosophical, by observing how the notion was used in a broad spectrum of case studies of Renaissance culture. Each chapter highlights the ways in which authors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (writers, philosophers, philologists, politicians, etc.) appropriated Greek and Latin paradigms of friendship, on the one hand, applying them to understand their own social and political context while, on the other hand, they created new paradigms of friendship in both the public and private spheres. Each chapter develops an argument on the notion of friendship starting from the investigation of a particular context and creating a network of connections between words related to friendship, such as speaking sincerely (parrhsia), flattery, justice, love, pleasure, good, utility, virtue, good life, and truth, in both the private and public domains. The writers addressed in the various chapters are with regard to the ancients Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Plutarch, Cicero and Seneca and among the moderns Machiavelli, Montaigne, Thomas More, Erasmus, Juan de Mariana, Feliciano Silvestri, Johannes Caselius, the members of the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft, and the authors of Renaissance emblem books.

Patterns Of Patronage In Renaissance Rome - Francesco Sperulo: Poet, Prelate, Soldier, Spy - Volume I

de Paul Gwynne

100,57€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is also available as a set, together with Volume II. Please visit www.peterlang.com/view/product/84550 Patterns of Patronage in Renaissance Rome is the first full-length study of the life and works of Francesco Sperulo of Camerino (14631531). In a remarkable career during which the poet progressed from serving as a soldier of fortune in the service of Cesare Borgia to an Italian bishopric, Sperulo produced a significant body of Latin poetry, here presented in a critical edition for the first time. An impressive array of contemporary figures including Leonardo da Vinci, Isabella dEste, Raphael and Baldassare Castiglione appear in his verse. By placing his work within the larger historical, literary, political and social context, this study, published in two volumes, sheds light on the role played by neo-Latin poetry at the papal court and documents the impact of classical culture in Rome during the period usually referred to as «the High Renaissance». Volume I reconstructs Sperulos life and circle of contacts by placing the poets works in chronological order and setting them within the political and social circumstances of their composition. Archival documents scattered across Italy, penitentiary records from the Vatican Archives and a voluminous correspondence with the Duke of Urbino and members of the Varano family of Camerino show that Sperulo was intimately involved in papal politics and intrigue; indeed, he was almost assassinated for his involvement. A selection of this correspondence is included here to supplement the poets biography.
