James Of Viterbo: De Regimine Christiano - A Critical Edition And Translation

257,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 James of Viterbo's De regimine Christiano was produced at the height of the great conflict of 1296-1303 between Pope Boniface VIII and Philip the Fair of France. Echoing and elaborating Boniface's Bull Unam sanctam, the treatise is a detailed and rigorous defence of the 'hierocratic' ideology of the thirteenth-century papacy in its most ambitious form. As such, it stands alongside the better-known De ecclesiastica potestate of Giles of Rome, by which it is to some extent influenced. De regimine Christiano is here presented in a new and complete critical edition, accompanied by an English translation and a detailed introduction. This edition will be of value to scholars and students of the history of political thought and international relations.Brill's Texts and Sources in Intellectual History, vol. 6

de Donna Heddle

257,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The poetry of John Stewart of Baldynneis, one of James VI's soi disant Castalian Band, is a relatively unknown phenomenon of the Renaissance period. This book is a critical edition of his epic poem Roland Furious, supposedly a translation of Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso into Scots but actually a brilliantly original poem which directly follows guidelines given by James VI for the creation of such literature in the Scottish vernacular. A fully annotated version of the text is given, along with a critical induction discussing the main European influences on Stewart's work, notes to the text, an appendix of proper and personal names, and a full glossary. This book provides an important link in the history of Scottish poetry.Brill's Texts and Sources in Intellectual History, vol. 4

209,35€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In his De peccato originali (1679), Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) presented his thesis that sex was the original sin and a vital part of human nature. Building on contemporary insights into the history of the text of the Bible, he criticised the hypocritical attitudes among the religious and social elite of his day concerning the biblical text and sexual morality. The work became notorious in the seventeenth century and led to its author's banishment. In the eighteenth century, it exerted considerable influence on the way in which many in Europe came to see sexuality. This annotated edition with English translation also includes a comprehensive introduction that includes a contextualization of the De peccato originali and its impact.

Antonio Da Rho, Three Dialogues Against Lactantius - Dialogi Tres In Lactentium Critical Latin Edition, English Translation, Introduction, And Notes

de David Rutherford e Paul Schulten

349,80€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Antonio da Rho's Three Dialogues against Lactantius (1445) followed the lead of Jerome and Augustine yet went well beyond patristic concerns. During the Middle Ages Lactantius' works, while largely neglected, had enjoyed moments of intense interest and study. From the death of Lactantius (325) to his broad Quattrocento recovery, many profound cultural and intellectual shifts had transpired. Consequently, Rho's dialogues engage topics arising from scholastic and other debates in jurisprudence, cosmology, astrology, geography, philosophy, and theology. He was convinced that insights from these fields would elucidate errors of Lactantius that his readers had overlooked. This reveals much about the cultural and intellectual developments that shaped readers' efforts to recover, comprehend, and define Lactantius as an author. Significantly, the list of Lactantius' errors discussed in the dialogues was printed with nearly every edition of Lactantius through the sixteenth century and beyond.

Quarrel Over Swammerdam'S Posthumous Works

de Andrea Strazzoni

226,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Quarrel over Swammerdam's Posthumous Works reconstructs the vicissitudes of Johannes Swammerdam's Biblia naturae, a pivotal collection of writings in the history of science. Bequeathed to the polymath Melchisedech Thevenot, the manuscripts and drawings of the treatises constituting this collection were instead kept by the editor Hermann Wingendorp after Swammerdam's death (1680), triggering a quarrel over their publication. By analysing Swammerdam's scientific legacy and by offering an edition of the correspondence testifying to the efforts towards such publication, this book sheds light on the editorial history and intellectual context of Swammerdam's Biblia. This reveals not only an intricate plot of authorized and unauthorized attempts to publish it, but also an exchange of scientific texts and instruments in the late seventeenth century.

Critical Reflections On Poetry And Painting (2 Vols.) - Translated With An Introduction And Notes By James O. Young And Margaret Cameron

de Jean-Baptiste Du Bos

463,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Jean-Baptiste Du Bos' Critical Reflections on Poetry and Painting, first published in French in 1719, is one of the seminal works of modern aesthetics. Du Bos rejected the seventeenth-century view that works of art are assessed by reason. Instead, he believed, audience members have sentiments in response to artworks. Their sentiments are fainter versions of those they would feel in response to actually seeing what the work of art imitates. Du Bos was influenced by John Locke's empiricism and, in turn, had a major impact on virtually every major eighteenth-century contributor to philosophy of art, including Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau, Herder, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Kames, Gerard, and Hume. This is the first modern, annotated and scholarly edition of the Critical Reflections in any language.

Giannozzo Manetti'S New Testament - Translation Theory And Practice In Fifteenth-Century Italy

de Annet Den Haan

401,48€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Giannozzo Manetti's New Testament Annet den Haan analyses the Latin translation of the Greek New Testament made by the fifteenth-century humanist Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459). The book includes the first edition of Manetti's text.Manetti's translation was the first since Jerome's Vulgate, and it predates Erasmus' Novum Instrumentum by half a century. Written at the Vatican court in the 1450s, it is a unique example of humanist philology applied to the sacred text in the pre-Reformation era. Den Haan argues that Manetti's translation was influenced by Valla's Annotationes, and compares Manetti's translation method with his treatise on correct translation, Apologeticus (1458).

Letter On The Principles Of Justness And Decency, Containing A Defence Of The Treatise De Cive Of The Learned Mr Hobbes

de Lambert Van Velthuysen

259,70€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Although little known today, the Utrecht physician and town councillor Lambert van Velthuysen (1622-1685) was a prolific Dutch seventeenth-century philosopher and a vociferous advocate of the new philosophies of Descartes and Hobbes. The Letter on the Principles of Justness and Decency of 1651 constitutes both the first published reaction to Hobbes's political philosophy and the first attempt by a Dutch philosopher at using Hobbes to supply a 'Cartesian' moral philosophy. It is also a highly original work that seeks to define the nature of virtue and vice and to justify the magistrate's right to punish crimes. It will thus be of interest not only to historians of philosophy but to all those interested in the social and cultural history of the Dutch Golden Age.

Adriaan Koerbagh, A Light Shining In Dark Places, To Illuminate The Main Questions Of Theology And Religion

303,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ever since it was first written, Adriaan Koerbagh's anti-Christian work, A Light Shining in Dark Places, has been nearly inaccessible. Had it been known during the Enlightenment, it would have been a great inspiration to radical thinkers. However, it was suppressed and the author died in jail. The full text is now available in English. Koerbagh demolishes such Christian notions as the Creator, the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, heaven and hell, angels, devils and miracles. Instead, he presents a monistic world view in which Nature and God are identical. Theology is a part of natural science. God can only be worshipped by acting rationally. Koerbagh's rational religion is intended to contribute to a free, peaceful and liberal society.

Vatican Manuscript Of Spinoza'S Ethica

de Leen Spruit e Pina Totaro

239,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Brill authors Leen Spruit and Pina Totaro discovered the original manuscript of Spinoza's "Ethica" in the Vatican library. This spectacular discovery attracted a lot of media attention. The Vatican codex, which contains the complete text of Spinoza's Ethics, is the only surviving manuscript of this work and constitutes a document of great importance. On 23 September 1677, it was handed over to the Roman Holy Office by Spinoza's former friend Niels Stensen who had converted to Catholicism in 1667. Thus, it predates the publication of the Opera Posthuma, which is dated 1677, but which did not in fact appear until the first months of 1678. Recent research and fresh documentation allow us to determine the several stages of the manuscript's life before it reached Rome, where it was kept in the Archive of the Holy Office, and subsequently, transferred to the Vatican Apostolic Library, in 1922.

Anatomy Of Despondency - European Socio-Cultural Criticism 1789-1939

de Jaap Harskamp

359,08€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Socio-cultural criticism is the continuous assessment and evaluation of developments within democratic society and hence a vital ingredient of democracy itself. Departing from the French Revolution, this study focuses upon a tradition of European criticism. On the whole, critics accepted that technological advance was irreversible but they opposed the assumption that this implied general progress. Instead, they stressed the negatives: class conflict, erosion of tradition, mechanization of life, fragmentation of society, loss of cultural differentiation. The approach is exclusively text-orientated. The result is a multi-coloured mosaic depicting an image of what has moved, confused or dismayed the European mind over a period of a century and a half. The intensity of concern has shaped our contemporary thought, awareness and outlook.
