Crown, Jessica. "Renaissance humanism in England, c.1490-c.1530." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/283230.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores humanism, the rediscovery of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome, in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century England. It does so with reference to texts, institutional settings, and networks both within and beyond England, and examines the activities of several seemingly minor figures who have been absent from recent scholarship on the topic: John Holt, William Lily, Richard Croke, Leonard Cox, and Thomas Lupset. These figures made distinctive and original contributions to the genres in which they operated, whether the grammatical manual, educational treatise, dialogue, or philosophical meditation. They are also noteworthy for their considerable influence, whether in England or further abroad. With regard to Croke and Cox, the integration of previously unknown sources from France and Germany and overlooked ones from eastern Europe reveals that England could be an exporter and not merely an importer of humanism. Taken together, these individuals demonstrate that English humanism was more sophisticated and complex than its frequent characterisation as 'Erasmian' would suggest. In addition, this dissertation analyses the influence of humanism on two school foundations: St Paul's School and Ipswich College. It re-evaluates the portrayal of John Colet as an anti-intellectual, and understands St Paul's as a deeply personal endeavour, reflecting his desire to do better for the next generation. It establishes the depth and significance of humanism in Cardinal Wolsey's foundation of Ipswich College, hitherto accorded less importance by historians than his Oxford college. The examination of the little-known materials he published on the eve of his fall in 1529, together with reports from staff on its progress, show that he regarded it as central to his ambitious vision for England and to the creation of his own reputation as a civic humanist. This research therefore revises our understanding of a neglected period, and engages with the vexed questions at the heart of the study of humanism: how contemporaries dealt with the tension between their faith and their enthusiasm for pagan culture, and regarded the rival attractions of scholarly leisure and active public service.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis advances the name of Raphael Santi, the High Renaissance artist, to be included among the famous and highly esteemed Humanists of the Renaissance period. While the artistic creativity of the Renaissance is widely recognized, the creators have traditionally been viewed as mere craftsmen. In the case of Raphael Santi, his skills as a painter have proven to be a timeless medium for the immortalizing of the elevated thinking and turbulent challenges of the time period. His interests outside of painting, including archaeology and architecture, also offer strong testimony of his Humanist background and pursuits.

Full textAbstract:
In the period of the Renaissance in Italy the influence of humanism was pervasive. This thesis gives a background on humanist philosophy and then looks at its influence on the Literature and Music of the 14th Century and the 16th Century. Humanism is defined as the search for eloquence, drawing inspiration from classical sources. It is shown how eloquence in the writings of Petrarca was mainly political while in texts from the 16th century in the pastoral genre it also dealt with the expression of inner feelings. This genre was influential on composers at the end of the Renaissance, such as Claudio Monteverdi, who were searching for a compositional style that would effect the emotions of listeners; a kind of musical humanism.

Maxson, Brian J., and Nicholas Scott Baker. "After Civic Humanism: Learning and Politics in Renaissance Italy." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2015. https://www.amzn.com/0772721777.
Full textAbstract:
The thirteen essays in this volume demonstrate the multiplicity of connections between learning and politics in Renaissance Italy. Some engage explicitly with Hans Baron's "civic humanism" thesis illustrating its continuing viability, but also stretching its application to prove the limitations of its original expression. Others move beyond Baron's thesis to examine the actual practice of various individuals and groups engaged in both political and learned activities in a variety of diverse settings. The collective impression of all the contributions is that of a complex, ever-shifting mosaic of learned enterprises in which the well-examined civic paradigm emerges as just one of several modes that explain the interaction between learning and politics in Italy between 1300 and 1650. The model that emerges rejects any single category of explanation in favour of one that emphasizes variety and multiplicity. It suggests that learning was indispensible to all politics in Renaissance Italy and that, in fact, at its heart the Renaissance was a political event as much as a cultural movement. "In moving past the constraints imposed by the so-called Baron thesis, the essays in this volume allow for an innovative focus on Renaissance humanism as a set of 'practices' determined more by social structures and networks than by specific historical events. In so doing, a number of these studies open up new areas of scholarly exploration." - Scott Blanchard, Misericordia Universityhttps://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1149/thumbnail.jpg

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis focusses upon the translation of patristic works into English in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Considering the pragmatic usage of texts in humanist culture, this research project explores the mobilisation of vernacular versions of the Church Fathers in response to historical crises. Regarding Renaissance humanism as a gendered intellectual methodology,I have investigated the way in which these texts particularly aim to address the needs of men, offering them exemplars to 'cope' with their social circumstances. The first chapter involves the analysis of Thomas Drant's rendition of Gregory of Nazianzus' Epigrams (1568) as part of the struggles of the early Elizabethan era. I suggest that this verse translation may possibly have played a supportive role for Protestant clerics facing a loss of humanist confidence due to educational deficiencies and the conflict of learning with the Catholic Louvainist scholars. The second chapter examines John Healey's version of Augustine's City of God (1610) in the context of the colonisation of Virginia. I propose that the Augustinian text - and the included commentary by Vives - may have represented a 'handbook' for the predominantly male community of planters confronted by (among other problems) the severe difficulty of establishing a household and fathering the next generation. The third chapter looks at Tobie Matthew's translation of Augustine's Confessions (1620) as an aid for Catholic Englishmen in an age of religious persecution. I contend that this text advertises and advances a passive / feminine form of manhood - which had been initially propagated by late sixteenth-century recusant ideology - in order to offer succour to its socially debilitated male readers. By undertaking an examination of these previously neglected texts, this thesis has attempted to expand the understanding of Renaissance humanist translation, as well as to offer a unique insight into the history of gender.

Boulet, Michaël. "Les avatars de la déclamation à la Renaissance." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013TOU20018.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail vise à proposer une définition opératoire de la déclamation du XVIème siècle, à étudier son évolution durant la période et à examiner ses manifestations dans certains textes littéraires. La première partie est constituée d'une sorte de recherche archéologique : qu'est-ce exactement que les Romains appelaient une "declamatio" ? Comment cet exercice a-t-il évolué durant la deuxième sophistique ? Qu'est-ce que les humanistes de la Renaissance appellent ainsi, apprécient et essayent d'imiter ? La seconde partie propose plusieurs analyses de déclamations humanistes, en vue d'en formuler une définition précise et pratique. Une conclusion synthétique rassemble ses principaux caractères, et propose un aperçu de ses enjeux. La troisième et dernière partie cherche des traces de déclamation, ou de bribes de déclamations, dans les textes qui ne sont pas spécifiquement oratoires. La diffusion de la déclamation dans la sphère littéraire est peut-être un indice de son importance dans la pensée et dans les pratiques d'écriture des HumanistesThis work aims at giving a definition of 'declamation' in the 16th century and at studying its evolution and its manifestations in a few literary texts. The first part is a kind of archeological research: what did exactly the Romans call 'declamatio'? How did this exercise evolve during the second sophistic period? What did the humanists of the Renaissance call so, appreciate and try to imitate? The second part will examine a variety of analyses on humanists' 'declamation' so as to propose an accurate and practical definition of the humanist 'declamation'. A synthetic conclusion will gather its main characteristics and will present a view of the issues. The third and last part will search for the presence of 'declamation', or part of it, in non-rethoric texts. The spreading of 'declamation' in the literary sphere may give an indication of its importance in the mind and in the writing practices of the Humanists

Kim, Hyun-Ah. "Renaissance humanism and John Merbecke's The booke of Common praier noted (1550)." Thesis, Durham University, 2005. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/2767/.
Full textAbstract:
Renaissance humanism was an intellectual technique which contributed most to the origin and development of the Reformation. While the relation of Renaissance humanism and the Reformation is of considerable interest in the realms of history and theology, it has seldom been examined from a musicological perspective. This study aims to fill that gap by elucidating the way humanist musical thought influenced Reformation attitudes to music, with particular reference to the sixteenth-century reform of plainchant. The focus of the study is on the musical manifestation of the English Reformation, The booke of Common praier noted (BCPN, 1550) by John Merbecke (c.1505 - C.1585). Drawing upon issues of the interpretation of Renaissance humanism and its relation to the Reformation, the thesis challenges existing understandings of Merbecke and his music. Chapter one is a biographical study to re-appraise Merbecke's careers and outlooks in the light of Renaissance humanism, especially of Erasmian lines. It serves as a starting point for re-evaluating the significance of BCPN in relation to humanist musical thought. Chapter two explores the musical framework of Erasmian humanism which became a major intellectual basis for the renewal of Christian music on the eve of the Reformation. Chapter three reveals the core of Anglican plainchant apologetics underlying BCPN, illustrating that the musico- rhetorical and ethical associations of humanism played an integral part in shaping the Anglican criteria of true ecclesiastical music. Chapter four argues that two humanist conceptions were integrated into the programme of the reform of plainchant in BCPN: 'rhetorical theology' (theologia rhetorica) and 'rhetorical music' (musica rhetorica). It explores word-tone relations in BCPN, thereby demonstrating its characteristics as a humanist plainchant directed towards the 'rhetoricisation of music'; it sheds a new light upon Merbecke's notation and modes in BCPN, especially in relation to the ‘theory of accented singing' and the doctrine of 'mode ethos’.

Full textAbstract:
There are two parallel discourses on humanism nowadays. One conceives of humanism as a worldview and a philosophical position. The other takes it to be a cultural phenomenon typical of the European Renaissance. The critics interested in considering humanism conceptually, as a rule, are not Renaissance scholars. Operating from either a postmodern or a postcolonial perspective, they often speak of humanism as the backbone of Western thought or the mainstay of European modernity and, in any case, as a bankrupt ideology of the West. Conversely, the Renaissance scholars are more concerned with the task of making sense of the idea of humanism in its original historical context than with considering it in relation to its other, later developments and remain, for the most part, unwilling to address the broader questions posed by humanism.
This dissertation purports to bring the philosophical and the historical discourses on humanism together. I focus specifically on Renaissance humanism and ground my reflection firmly in textual analyses of late XV and XVI century sources. More concretely, I put forward a reading of two groups of texts. The first group includes three works exploring the arch-theme of the Renaissance, dignitas hominis, from the perspective of a relational concept of identity formation. These are: Pico della Mirandola's Oratio (1486), Bovelles's De sapiente (1511) and Vives's Fabula de homine (1518). The second group of texts contains three works which fall into the category of Renaissance Americanist literature: Cabeza de Vaca's Naufragios (1542), Galeotto Cei's Viaggio e relazione delle Indie (written after 1553) and Jean de Léry's Histoire d'un voyage faict en la terre du Brésil (1578).
The bridge between these two bodies of texts is the idea, found in Pico, Bovelles and Vives, that arriving at a sense of self always involves a detour through otherness, as experienced in one's community, Nature and God. The encounter narratives, in illustrating the impact of America on the Renaissance European traveler, bring to life what philosophers theorized in the peace and quiet of their studies - the essential indefiniteness of the self unless inhabited by meanings drawn from without.2016-09-29

Full textAbstract:
COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORO trabalho pretende lançar uma luz sobre o início dos tempos modernos abordando a riqueza das experiências de subjetividade na cultura renascentista. Suas complexidades são tematizadas no exame das complicadas relações entre o ideário humanista e o movimento das reformas religiosas, e suas respectivas evoluções. Destaca-se primeiro, nos primórdios da Renascença, um impulso pela interiorização do sentimento religioso, que aliado ao resgate dos valores da Antiguidade, se faz cerne do anseio por um cristianismo renovado, centrado na valorização do homem e do mundo, do poder do espírito em alcançar a salvação, sem a intermediação das instituições da Igreja. O movimento das reformas religiosas, fundado no anseio renovador humanista de homens como Nicolau de Cusa, Pico Della Mirandola e Erasmo de Rotterdã, não tardará entretanto em se apartar dele a partir de Lutero, numa religiosidade que condena o espírito humano e sua experiência mundana. O exame da discussão sobre o livre arbítrio entre Erasmo e Lutero nos mostra o embate entre duas concepções distintas sobre o homem, que surtirão conseqüências, não raro, inesperadas sobre a formação do mundo moderno.
The study wants to iluminate the begining of modern times treating the richness of the subjectivity experiences in Renaissance culture. The complexities of that should be look in the analysis of the complicated relations between the humanistic ideals and the religious reformations movements and his respective evolutions. First, in the relief, emerges in primeval Renaissance, a impulse for interiozation of religious sentiment, which, in alliance with the rescue of the values of the Antiquity, makes itself in the roots of a new cristianity, centralize in the valorization of man and the world, in the power of the spirity in reaching the salvation, without the intermediation of institutions of the Church. The religious reformations movements, first in the roots of the humanistic renovator impulse of men like Nicholas de Cusa, Pico Della Mirandola and Erasmo de Rotterdã, should be, in a second time, aparted of him, since Lutero and his religious sentiment which condemn the human spirity and his mundane experience. The analyses of the discussion about the free arbitre between Erasmo and Lutero shows to us the confrontation of two diferent conceptions of man, which have their impact, many times imprevisible, in the formation of modern times.

Die polnische Kultur der Renaissance auf 140 Seiten zu erfassen, erscheint als mutiges Unterfangen. Danilo Facca und Valentina Lepri, die in der Philosophiegeschichte beheimateten Herausgeber des Sammelbandes Polish culture in the Renaissance, sind sich dessen bewusst und betonen in der Einleitung denn auch zügig, keinen erschöpfenden Überblick über die Thematik zu beanspruchen (S. 11). Vielmehr gehen die sieben im Untertitel angekündigten „Studies in the arts, humanism and political thought“ auf Konferenzbeiträge zurück, die 2013 auf der Jahrestagung der „Renaissance Society of America“ gehalten wurden. Erstmals in der knapp 60jährigen Geschichte dieser Jahrestagung wurde die polnische Renaissance dabei in eigenen Panels behandelt. Mit der Veröffentlichung ihrer Beiträge verfolgen die Autoren nun das aufklärerisch anmutende Ziel, den in der Renaissance des westlichen Europa sachkundigen Lesern eine grundlegende Orientierung in der Geisteswelt Polens zwischen dem 15. und 17. Jahrhundert zu verschaffen und die klassische italozentrische Perspektive auf die Epoche der Renaissance auf diese Weise zu korrigieren (S. 12).

Se Petrarca, como inaugurador do humanismo no século XIV já se opusera à teologia escolástica, levada ao impasse entre fé e razão com os argumentos averroistas e depois ockhamistas e entregue às disputas dialéticas; propugnara pela recuperação da erudição clássica sustentando como cristão que nenhum guia deve ser desprezado se mostra o caminho da salvação e indicara que ninguém, a não ser o cristão, sabe a quem e de que maneira confessar - cui et qualiter confitendum sit - será Erasmo de Rotterdam no século XVI que, afastando-se das sutilezas daqueles que desde o Medievo queriam compreender os mistérios da fé fazendo a teologia se apoiar na filosofia enquanto reflexão sobre o Ser conforme o cânone platônico-aristotélico, proporá que a ciência das coisas divinas e humanas deve ser buscada antes na filosofia enquanto tradição retórica de reflexão sobre os problemas do Homem e, explorando ao máximo as possibilidades da nascente imprensa, explicará socraticamente, através de seus milhares de Adagia, Colloquia, Litterae, traduções e edições princeps, para uma Europa estupefata, angustiada e vacilante entre o renascimento da grandeza antiga e o radicalismo religioso de católicos e reformados, porque e como, decisivamente, devem ser lidos os autores greco-latinos e entendida a precedência da Revelação cristã em relação ao paganismo e às invenções - inventiones - dos outros povos. Neste quadro de rupturas, se insere com relevo os Antibárbaros, designado pelo seu autor para a edição de sua Opera Omnia como o primeiro livro da primeira ordem que é justamente aquela voltada ao ensino dos textos antigos - ad institutionem litterarum - livro que traz a suma de seus argumentos pela pacífica unidade da verdade.If Petrarch, as inaugurator of Humanism in the XIV Century, was already contrary to the Scholastic Theology - pushed into the impasse between Faith and Reason with Averroists arguments and then Ockamists, and involved in dialectical debates - battled for the restoration of the Classical erudition standing as a Christian that none guide should be contempt if it points out the salvation path; and indicated that no one but the Christian knows to whom and in which manner to confess - cui et qualiter confitendum sit - it will be Erasmus from Rotterdam in XVI Century that, being far from the subtleness from those whose, from the Middle Ages, wanted to understand the Faith Mysteries making the Theology be supported by the Philosophy as reflection about the Being according to the Platonic-Aristotelian Canon, will propose that the science of holly and human things should be chased prior in the Philosophy as Rhetorical tradition of reflection about human problems and, exploring uttermost the possibilities of the emerging press, will explain in a Socratic manner, throughout his thousands of Adagia, Colloquia, Litterae, translations and princeps editions, for a perplex, anxious and oscillating Europe between the renaissance of the ancient greatness and the religious radicalism of Catholics and Protestants, why and how, definitely, should be read the Greek-Latin authors and grasped the precedence of Christian Revelation regarding the Paganism and the inventions -inventiones- of other peoples. In this landscape of ruptures, it inserts with weight the Antibarbarians, designated by its author for his Opera Omnia edition, as the first book of the prime order that is exactly that one made for the instruction of classical texts -ad institutionem litterarum- a book that summarizes his arguments for the peaceful unity of Truth.

Nesta obra, alvo de inúmeras polêmicas entre os pensadores humanistas da Europa do Renascimento, Valla inicia discussão que prosseguirá na obra De Libero Arbítrio (1439) sobre os conceitos de honestas e voluptas no debate entre epicuristas e estóicos, opondo-se às teses de Boécio (480-524) inscritas nos livros de I a IV da Consolação da Filosofia (século VI). Para Valla e os demais humanistas, segundo corrente bibliográfica inaugurada na década de 50 por Hans Baron, Eugênio Garin e Paul O. Kristeller, estes temas estavam intimamente relacionados ao seu modo de pensar e agir sobre a vida civil no contexto das repúblicas italianas do quattrocento, onde encontraram espaço para forjar uma cosmovisão autêntica dentro da historiografia denominada de Humanismo.The present research consists of a translation of Lorenzo Vallas (1407-1457) De Voluptate, published for the first time in 1431. In this work which suffered many attacks from humanistic thinkers in Renaissance Europe Valla starts a discussion, carried on De Libero Arbitrio (1439), about the epicurean and stoic debate on the concepts of honestas and voluptas, where he opposes Boethiuss (480-524) theses as expressed on books I and IV of his Consolation of Philosophy (6th century). A current of historians founded in the 1950s by Hans Baron, Eugênio Garin and Paul O. Kristeller states that these themes expressed by Valla and others humanistic thinkers were intimately related to the way of thinking and the civil life in quattrocento Italian Republics, where they found a proper place to forge an authentic worldview named by the Historians as Humanism.

Maxson, Brian Jeffrey. "The Humanist World of Renaissance Florence." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2014. http://amzn.com/1107043913.
Full textAbstract:
This book offers a major contribution for understanding the spread and appeal of the humanist movement in Renaissance Florence. Investigating the connections between the individuals who were part of the humanist movement, Brian Jeffrey Maxson reconstructs the networks that bound them together. Overturning the problematic categorization of humanists as either professional or amateurs, a distinction based on economics and the production of original works in Latin, he offers a new way of understanding how the humanist movement could incorporate so many who were illiterate in Latin, but who nonetheless were responsible for an important intellectual and cultural paradigm shift. The book demonstrates the massive appeal of the humanist movement across socio-economic and political groups and argues that the movement became so successful and so widespread because by the 1420s¬-30s the demands of common rituals began requiring humanist speeches. Over time, deep humanist learning became more valuable in the marketplace of social capital, which raised the status of the most learned humanists and helped disseminate humanist ideas beyond Florence.https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1042/thumbnail.jpg

Full textAbstract:
La translittération est la transcription, signe par signe, d’un système d’écriture vers un autre. Relevant à la fois de l’histoire, de la linguistique et de la science des écritures – ou grammatologie –, ce travail vise à dégager les enjeux de la notion récente de translittération, appliquée à une période où elle n’était pas encore formulée ainsi, la Renaissance française. Il délimite les domaines respectifs de la translittération, de la transcription, de la traduction et du saut de code. Cette thèse prend pour point de départ les découvertes récentes sur l’hébreu dans l’humanisme français et met à profit les avancées en archéologie et en sciences cognitives concernant l’histoire de l’alphabet latin et son appréhension par ses utilisateurs. Elle s’appuie sur un corpus d’alphabets, de grammaires et de bibles du XVIe siècle pour mettre en relation les dimensions diachronique et diatopique des systèmes d’écriture. Elle montre que la pratique de la conversion d’écriture s’appuie moins sur les caractéristiques de l’écriture d’origine que sur une extension considérable de l’écriture d’arrivéeTransliteration is the transcription sign by sign from a writing system to another. Being a matter of history, linguistics and study of writing systems – or grammatology – this work aims at identifying the issues of the quite recent notion of transliteration, as applied to a period when it was not formulated in this way, the French Renaissance. It delineates the respective fields of transliteration, transcription, translation and code-switching. This thesis takes as a starting point the recent findings on Hebrew in the French humanism and makes use of the advances in archeology and in cognitive science regarding the history of the Latin alphabet and its understanding by its users. It relies on a corpus of alphabets, grammars and bibles of the 16th century to link the diachronic and diatopic dimensions of writing systems. It shows that conversion of scripts as a practice relies less on the specific features of the source script than on a considerable extension of the target script

Resumo: O objeto desta tese de doutorado sobre Erasmo de Roterdã e a Pedagogia da Sátira é analisado como uma problemática da teoria pedagógica e da história da filosofia. O período abrange o final do século XV e os primeiros decênios do século XVI, os quais correspondem à época do humanismo renascentista que cria as bases do pensamento moderno. A investigação consiste, a partir das intenções e justificativas que Erasmo apresenta em seu Epistolário, no tratamento analítico de sua sátira, a qual se insere no discurso metafórico, com o intuito de evidenciar seu alcance pedagógico. Ou seja, a sátira é como um jogo, como um faz-de-conta, capaz de, mostrando jocosa e construtivamente as verdades, cumprir papel pedagógico transformador. Delimitada ao primeiro tomo do Epistolário de Erasmo, que abrange os anos de 1484 a 1514 e 1523, lido e traduzido diretamente do latim, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo comprovar que, para ele, a sátira, necessariamente vinculada à sua proposta educacional, consiste em um método tão privilegiado de educação a ponto de se poder pensá-Ia como pedagogia. Para isso, indo às fontes e adotando o método demonstrativo, nesta pesquisa exploratória são utilizadas determinadas categorias de análise: paradigmáticas (correção, natureza, desapego, humildade, verdade, sinceridade, adaptação, letras humanas, letras divinas, virtude, piedade, proposta educacional, método, amizade, sodalício, utilidade e moral), lingüísticas (provérbios, diálogo, ironia, elogio, comédia, apologia, diatribe e libelo) e pedagógicas (paciência, moderação, liberdade, mordacidade, riso, construção e pedagogia). O resultado é a constatação de que no primeiro tomo de seu Epistolário ele reafirma, sistematicamente, intenções, argumentações, definições, idéias e expressões de absoluta valorização da linguagem figurada, particularmente da sátira. Isso autoriza o pesquisador a pensar a sátira de Erasmo, e por extensão a do Renascimento, como a proposta de uma nova e necessária pedagogia, a pedagogia da sátira, que supera a antiga pedagogia do castigo e do medo pela pedagogia do incentivo e da liberdade
Abstract: Current doctoral thesis on Erasmus of Rotterdam and the Pedagogy of Satire involves the problematization of the pedagogical theory and the history of Philosophy. The period comprises the final decades of the 15th and the first decades of the 16th century, or rather, the Humanist Period that establishes the bases ofmodem thought. Dealing with Erasmus's intentions and justifications in his Epistolary, current research is an analytic investigation on the satire, studied within the metaphoric discourse, so that its pedagogical implication may be revealed. Satire is rather a type of game and a make-belief which fulfills transformational pedagogical roles through the playful constructiveness of the truth. Research, restricted to the first volume of Erasmus's Epistolary, from 1484 to 1514 and 1523, read and translated from the original Latin version, aims at establishing that, for Erasmus, satire is wholly linked to the educational scheme and is such a highly privileged educational method that it may be rightly defined as a sort of pedagogy. Paradigmatic (correction, nature, disinterestedness, humility, truth, sincerity, adaptation, human writing, divine writing, virtue, piety, educational proposals, method, friendship, solidarity, utility and morality), linguistic (proverbs, dialogue, irony, praise, comedy, apology, preaching and libels) and pedagogical (patience, moderation, freedom, mordacity; laughter, construction and pedagogy) categories of analysis are used in current research by going to the original sources and by employing the demonstrative method. Results show that in his first volume of the Epistolary Erasmus systematically states the intentions, arguments, definitions, ideas and expressions for the absolute valorization of figurative language, especially for satire. Erasmus's satire, and consequently satire in the Renaissance, is the basis for a new and much needed pedagogy. The pedagogy of the satire goes beyond the old pedagogy of punishment and fear which will be thus replaced by the pedagogy of freedom and encouragement

Full textAbstract:
Ma thèse porte sur la reconstruction historique de la biographie de Pietro Speciale Cittadella (1478-1554) en tenant compte des auteurs des trois études qui ont traité sa vie en manière monographique, mais en développant trois points fondamentaux pour une nouveaux recherche : 1) les contacts avec le monde allemand ; 2) son interprétation des auteurs réformés ; 3) l'échec d'une éventuelle Réforme dans le territoire vénitien. Tout d'abord, on aura enquêté sur quatre questions historiographiques qui ont empêché une spéculation plus profonde par les historiens précédents : Emilio Comba, Giuseppe De Leva et Ester ZillePietro Speziale from Cittadella (1478-1554), a character as prolific as it is underestimated, is remembered by the general historiography for having been the author of one of the most important treatises about the God’s grace and free will – the Tractatus de Gratia Dei – of the so-called Italian Reformation. But Speziale was also the author of a Latin grammar enchiridion, of satires and more; he had a correspondence with the circles of humanists of Vicenza and Padua; during the years of his imprisonment, he was exalted as a "martyr of the Gospel" by Italian Protestants and by German radicals. Speziale lived a transition "from Catholicism to Catholicism", passing through the reading, the study and the re-elaboration of the main writings of the Reformation, such as Luther’s De servo arbitrio; the imprudent disclosure of his ideas caused him the imprisonment, charged of heresy. In an attempt to consider together the different perspectives of analysis, the thesis is divided into three sections: after a summary of the historiography that dealt with the topic, I considered the biography of Pietro Speziale from Cittadella (1478-1554) in light A) of archival sources; B) literary sources; C) of his correspondence. The first section describes the subject of the research through what has been possible to recover from the archive sources (councils, notaries and litigation), highlighting the potentials and the limitations of this type of research. The second part, however, has as its object the edition of the texts (the so-called "minor works") of the author, with a discussion that takes into account the sources (ancient and contemporary authors), the information that the author provides self or events that proves to know - without forgetting its point of view with respect to the subsequent historical and historiographic reconstruction - and their place in the context of religious reform in Italy. The third part, describes the dense network of central and peripheral relations, of which Speziale had characterized his experience as humanist, demonstrating how the parameter of "geographical border" is insufficient - and indeed, impeding - in research and reconstruction of the biography of such a complex personality
Personalità tanto prolifica quanto sottovalutata, Pietro Speziale da Cittadella (1478-1554) è ricordato dalla storiografia per essere stato l’autore di uno dei più importanti trattati sulla grazia e il libero arbitrio (il Tractatus de Gratia Dei) della cosiddetta “Riforma italiana”. Ma lo Speziale fu anche autore di un manuale di grammatica latina, di satire e altro ancora; intrattenne rapporti epistolari con i circoli degli umanisti vicentini e padovani; fu esaltato, durante gli anni del carcere, come “martire dell'Evangelo” dai protestanti italiani e dai radicali tedeschi. Quella dello Speziale è una parabola dal cattolicesimo al cattolicesimo, passando attraverso la lettura, lo studio e la rielaborazione degli scritti della Riforma; la divulgazione imprudente delle proprie idee gli causò il carcere con l'accusa di eresia. Nel tentativo di considerare insieme le diverse prospettive di analisi, la tesi viene suddivisa in tre sezioni: dopo una doverosa sintesi della storiografia che ha trattato l’argomento, ho considerato la biografia di Pietro Speziale alla luce a) delle fonti archivistiche; b) delle fonti letterarie; c) delle relazioni epistolari. La prima sezione descrive il soggetto della ricerca sulla base di quanto è stato possibile recuperare tra le fonti di archivio (consiliari, notarili e processuali) mettendo in evidenza le potenzialità e i limiti di questo tipo di ricerca. La seconda parte, invece, ha come oggetto l’edizione dei testi (le c.d. “opere minori”) dell’autore, con una discussione che tiene conto delle fonti utilizzate (autori antichi e contemporanei), delle informazioni che l’autore fornisce di sé o degli eventi che dimostra di conoscere – senza dimenticare il suo punto di vista rispetto alla ricostruzione storica e storiografica successiva – e la loro collocazione nel contesto della riforma religiosa in Italia. La terza parte invece, descrive la fitta rete di relazioni, centrali e periferiche, di cui lo Speziale aveva caratterizzato la propria esperienza di umanista, dimostrando come il parametro di “confine geografico” sia insufficiente – e anzi, ostativo – nella ricerca e nella ricostruzione biografica di una personalità così complessa

Le but de cette thèse est d’examiner comment les artistes de la Renaissance, dits humanistes, ont proposé des interprétations nouvelles de la vision du monde au moment où les découvertes récentes de la cosmologie ont lieu, et également dans quelle mesure la force suggestive des images va de pair avec les conceptions de l’univers, lequel est d’ailleurs considéré par E. Panofsky, historiquement et logiquement comme la première œuvre d’art et le prototype de toutes. C’est pourquoi il importe de reconstituer, sous l’angle d’un certain prisme spéculatif, les fluctuations de la configuration spatiale dans les peintures de la Renaissance européennesThe aim of this study is to examine how the artists of the Renaissance, known as the humanists, have proposed some news interpretations of the vision of the world when the recent discoveries oh the cosmology have happened, and equally how much the suggestive force of images go hand in hand with the conceptions of the universe, which is moreover considered by E. Panofsky, historically and logically as the primary work of art and the prototype of all. It is therefore important to reconstitute, in terms of a certain speculative prism, the fluctuations of the spatial configuration in artistic picture of the European Renaissance

My dissertation examines how study abroad transformed education and society in early modern Europe. My works centers on Poland, a region often considered peripheral by contemporaries and scholars alike. Through combining three case studies of representative individuals with a database of Polish students, I examine how study abroad in Italy and northern Europe in the sixteenth century inserted Polish humanists into the Republic of Letters. Their close personal and scholarly ties with prominent figures like Erasmus, Philipp Melanchthon, Paolo Manuzio, and Justus Lipsius not only nurtured their scholarly interests in classical learning, but also advanced their courtly, ecclesiastical, and academic careers after their return to Poland. Patterns of study, publication, and alumni networks united foreign-educated Polish humanists into a community of intellectuals at home and abroad. Education played a particularly important role in the intellectual and social life of middling nobles and burghers. The Polish political system of a nobles' democracy allowed elites to enjoy disproportionately greater political power, religious freedom, and economic control than their peers in Western Europe. Middling nobles and burghers used study abroad to acquire the intellectual tools and cultural capital to achieve social mobility and greater political participation in sixteenth-century Poland. These Poles used their humanist education abroad to transform a political environment in which they played second fiddle to nobles whom they considered intellectually inferior. The students achieved this by redefining the meaning of nobility itself. Like Renaissance humanists before and after them, these Poles used the concept of virtus (personal excellence) to argue that learning was a constituent part of true nobility alongside birth. Besides reconceiving nobility, these humanists sought to reform and establish educational institutions within Poland to solve political infighting and the religious strife caused by the Reformation. To capture the myriad dimensions of study abroad, I combine the qualitative methods of intellectual and cultural history with quantitative approaches like social network analysis and prosopography, drawing on my database of all Polish students who studied abroad in the sixteenth century. My work thus both reinserts Poland into early modern history and provides new perspectives on the historical phenomenon of study abroad.History

Full textAbstract:
Cette monographie a pour objectif de mettre en lumière la contribution fondamentale que Nicolas Bérauld (c. 1470-c. 1550), humaniste orléanais du début du XVIe siècle, apporta à la mise en place d’un humanisme spécifiquement français. Professeur, éditeur, imprimeur, libraire, juriste et écrivain à ses heures, cet humaniste polyvalent, très réputé à son époque, est aujourd’hui tombé dans l’oubli : il est, comme l'indique le titre de cet ouvrage, un laissé pour compte des « Bonnes Lettres » à qui il convient de rendre la place qu’il mérite. Son inlassable activité l’amena à intervenir dans de nombreux domaines. Il conduisit une réflexion approfondie sur les langues, puisqu’il s’intéressa à l’improvisation en latin et contribua à l’essor du grec, encore bien peu étudié au début du XVIe siècle. Il prit pour modèle de ses activités la figure du grammaticus au sens où l’entend Quintilien dans son Institution oratoire, à la fois encyclopédiste, éditeur, commentateur et professeur. Ce grammaticus polyvalent avait vocation à s’impliquer dans tous les domaines. Bérauld réfléchit donc aussi à la dimension esthétique et créatrice de la langue, à sa « poïétique », et prit position dans les grands débats idéologiques (politique, droit, religion) qui agitèrent son époque. L’étude de l’itinéraire de cet humble professeur est aussi un hommage rendu aux débuts de l’humanisme éclipsés par l’époque brillante des Lecteurs royaux et de la PléiadeThis monography intends to highlight the fundamental contribution which was brought by Nicolas Bérauld (c. 1470- c. 1550), humanist born in Orleans at the beginning of the XVIth century, for the benefit of the establishment of a specific french humanism. Teacher, publisher, printer, librarian, jurist and even writer, this multitalented humanist, very famous during his time, has fallen in oblivion nowadays: he is, as the title of this work points it off, a laissé pour compte des « Bonnes Lettres » who needs to get back the appreciation he deserves. He relentlessly intervened in many fields of activity. He brought on a deep thinking about languages, as he was interested in latin improvisation and contributed to the rise of greek, still very little studied at the beginning of the XVIth century. The model of the grammaticus inspired his activities, exactly the way Quintilian figured it in his Institutio Oratoria, which means that he could be at the same time encyclopaedist, publisher, commentator and teacher. This versatile grammaticus was bound to tangle with every field of his time knowledge. This made Bérauld either to pay attention to the aesthetic and creative dimension of language, its « poïetic », or to get involved into the great ideological debates which stired up his time (as for politics, law or religion). To study the career of this humble teacher is also a way to pay tribute to the early stage of humanism, more or less put in the shade by the bright time of the Royal Lectors and of the Pleiade

My dissertation examines the cultural history of the Renaissance Venetian maritime empire. In this project I bring into conversation two historiographical subfields, the intellectual history of Venetian Renaissance humanism and the colonial history of the early modern Mediterranean, which have previously developed separately. In doing so, I examine the relationship between power and knowledge as it unfolded in the early modern Mediterranean. The ways in which Venetian Renaissance intellectual culture was shaped by its imperial engagements - and, conversely, how Venetian approaches to governance were inflected by humanist practices - are the central axes of my dissertation. In the first part of the dissertation, I examine the ways in which writing and textual collecting were used by elite Venetian readers to represent the geopolitical dimensions of their empire. I consider a group of manuscripts and printed books which contain technical, navigational, and cartographic writing and images about Venetian mercantile and imperial activity in the Mediterranean. In the second part, I undertake two case-studies of Venetian patrician governors who were trained in the humanist schools of Venice, before being posted to colonial offices in Dalmatia and the Aegean, respectively. I examine how their education in Venice as humanists influenced their experience and practice of governance in the stato da mar. Their personal texts offer an alternative intellectual history of empire, one which demonstrates the formation of political thought amongst the men actually practicing and experiencing imperial governance. Overall, I aim to build a picture of the ways in which literary culture, the physical world of the stato da mar, and political thought came to be entwined in the Venetian Renaissance; and then to describe how these dense relationships worked for the Venetian administrators who experienced them in the Mediterranean.

This thesis aims at presenting Francesco Guicciardini and the importance of his works to the Political Philosophy, starting from the thinker´s life, political path, influence and works. Throughout the thesis, we will analyze the political components of Guicciardini´s works, concepts and practice as well as their intersections with the works of other contemporary thinkers, who had the Florentine Policy as their object of study. Above all, the objective of this thesis is to learn about the Guicciardini’s analysis and its conceptual elements, which contributed to the understanding of the political fact and its social and institutional mechanisms. Based on the works of Francesco Guicciardini, the present thesis aims at revealing the way politics must be performed in the republican context, by recognizing, as role models, the political thinkers' reflections on the Florentine Republic in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the citizenship exercise and the preservation of common good. We particularly focus on the thoughts of Francesco Guicciardini, an attentive reader of both the political works of his time and of the classical antiquity, who analyzes the time when he lived as an intellectual and a "man of political praxis". His works enable a better understanding of Machiavel´s political thought, as Guicciardini had the privilege to follow Machiavel and share ideas with him. In an original manner, the political work of Guicciardini becomes extremely relevant to the Contemporary Political Philosophy, once it talks about issues which are also found in the Florentine Secretary´s works. This enables a qualified study of the Republicanism within the Florentine Civic Humanism
Partindo da vida, trajetória política, influências e obra de Francesco Guicciardini, esta tese visa apresentar este pensador em seu tempo, bem como a importância de sua obra para a Filosofia Política. Ao longo da tese, serão analisados os componentes políticos da obra de Guicciardini, conceitos e práticas, assim como intersecções com as obras de pensadores de sua contemporaneidade que tinham como objeto de estudo a política florentina. Sobretudo, esta tese busca conhecer a análise guicciardiniana e seus elementos conceituais, que contribuíram para a compreensão do fato político e seus mecanismos sociais e institucionais. Com base na obra de Francesco Guicciardini, a presente tese pretende explicitar o modo como a política deve ser exercida no contexto republicano, tendo como modelo as reflexões que pensadores políticos escreveram sobre a república florentina nos séculos XV e XVI, o exercício da cidadania e a preservação do bem comum. Debruçando-se, em especial, no pensamento de Francesco Guicciardini, leitor atento das obras políticas de seu tempo e da antiguidade clássica, que produziu uma obra privilegiada, pois analisa o seu período como intelectual e “homem de práxis política”, portanto, sua a obra possibilita o aprofundamento do ideário político de Maquiavel, o qual recebe tratamento crítico de alguém que, de maneira privilegiada, acompanhou e discutiu essas ideias com o próprio Maquiavel. De maneira original, a obra política de Guicciardini passa a ter grande relevância para a Filosofia Política contemporânea, pois compartilha de temas comuns à obra do secretário florentino, propiciando um estudo qualificado sobretudo da temática republicana dentro do Humanismo Cívico florentino

La présente étude propose une recherche sur la fortune de Perse (auteur satirique latin du I siècle ap. J. Ch.) pendant la Renaissance et l’édition critique du commentaire des Satires de Giovanni Britannico (humaniste, imprimeur et professeur de Rhétorique à Brescia au XVe siècle), ouvrage publié pour la première fois à Brescia en 1481 et qui bénéficia d’une énorme diffusion en France. Le premier chapitre de la thèse est consacré à la réception de Perse en Italie durant le XVe siècle et passe en revue les commentaires des Satires précédent l’ouvrage de Britannico. Le deuxième propose un profil biographique de l’humaniste et analyse son oeuvre, en l’inscrivant dans le cadre de l’activité éditoriale et typographique de sa famille. Le troisième présente la structure et les caractéristiques du commentaire et met en lumière les nouveautés exégétiques de l’ouvrage en rapport avec la production contemporaine. Le quatrième chapitre est consacré à la réception du commentaire en Europe durant la première moitié du XVIe siècle. La thèse se termine avec l’édition du commentaire, accompagnée d’un apparat critique qui présente les variantes et les sources de l’ouvrageThe aim of the thesis is to investigate about the reception of Persius’ poetry in the Renaissance period and to provide a critical edition of Giovanni Britannico’s commentary on Satires. Britannico’s work was published in Brescia in 1481 and it enjoyed a great diffusion and great appreciation in France during the 16th Century. The first chapter analyses Persius Satires reception in Italy during the second half of the 15th Century, by reviewing commentaries written before Britannico’s work.Then the thesis provides a biographical profile of the author and it analyses his literary production in the context of editorial and printing press activity of his family. The third chapter describes the structure and the features of the commentary, by comparing it with contemporary production on Persius. The last one studies the reception of the commentary in Europe in 16th Century. The critical edition of Britannico’s commentary is accompanied by a critical apparatus providing information about variant reading of the text and about its sources

Leon Battista Alberti wrote with a sense of irony that separated his works from his humanist contemporaries and linked him to the tradition of fourteenth-century vernacular writers, particularly Petrarch and Boccaccio. His irony was characterized by his encouragement to look for virtue beneath appearances and his distrust of equating virtue with humanist learning.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a pour vocation d’interroger, dans un corpus de pièces françaises compris entre 1537 et 1583, la spécificité de la présence féminine en tragédie et son rôle dans l’élaboration de l’esthétique tragique, supposée entre autres à partir du constat de la préférence des premiers dramaturges pour les héroïnes. Nous examinons la place du féminin et ses enjeux à trois niveaux différents. Tout d’abord, nous étudions les textes théoriques et paratextes qui définissent la tragédie. Dans ce cadre, nous ne trouvons aucune association explicite du tragique et du féminin, néanmoins le féminin y est défini de manière problématique, entre nécessité de la norme (la convenance) et constat de la transgression (Electra qui émerveille par sa virilité). Ensuite, dans les textes eux-mêmes, nous observons une profusion de discours des personnages portant sur la question du féminin. Bien souvent, les lieux communs sont convoqués pour mieux marquer le décalage de l’héroïne avec les femmes du commun ; parfois, le cas de l’héroïne est même utilisé pour contester le lieu commun. Dès lors, nous étudions enfin l’action des femmes sur la scène tragique en la comparant à celle des hommes : l’étude de la spécificité des rôles féminins dans l’intrigue, du type de jeu et de spectacle qu’elles mettent en place, celle de leur effet moral et idéologique sur le spectateur enfin, nous permettent de redéfinir l’héroïsme féminin dans le corpus. Étant donné que la tragédie se construit, d’après nous, sur la recherche de l’action extraordinaire, les héroïnes, plus admirables justement parce qu’elles appartiennent au sexe faible, paraîtraient d’abord plus favorables à la renaissance de la tragédie à l’antique de langue française et lui conféreraient ainsi ses premiers traitsFrom a study of a corpus of French plays written 1537-1583, this dissertation examines in detail the female presence in tragedy and its role in the development of the aesthetics of tragic drama. The place of the feminine and the issues arising from it are analyzed on three different levels. First, the theoretical and paratextual works that define tragedy were studied. In this corpus of work, no explicit association between the tragic and the feminine is found. However, the feminine is defined throughout in a problematic way, between the necessity to conform to the norm (the decorum) and the evidence of departures from this norm (Electra will amaze because of her virility). Secondly, within the plays themselves, there are many speeches made by the characters pertaining to the question of femininity. Frequently, the common norms are referenced in order to better differentiate between the heroine and ordinary women; on occasion, the case of the heroine herself is used to contest more strongly the common norms. Finally, the action of the women in the tragic dramas is compared to that of the men. This entails the study of the roles of females in the plot, of the style of acting and performance required of them, of their moral and ideological effect on the audience, all of which allows for a redefinition of female heroism in the corpus. Given that tragic drama is constructed, in this author’s view, from the quest for extraordinary action, these heroines, all the more admirable precisely because they belong to the weaker sex, would primarily appear to be highly favorable for the successful revival of French classical tragedy, thus conferring upon it its first characteristics

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I examine the representation of parents and schoolmasters and the conflicts between them in vernacular drama in Reformation England. This was a period of growth in public schooling and a time when numerous treatises on education and childrearing were in circulation in England. Prevailing pedagogical theory privileged the schoolmaster's authority over that of the parents, and set paternal authority over that of the mother. It sought to limit maternal power to the domestic sphere and the infant years, yet the drama examined here suggests that mothers, not fathers, were usually the parent in control of their children's education. The conflicts inherent in these oppositions are played out in drama dealing with schooling and childrearing; each of the works examined here participates in and contributes to public debate over school education and parenting practices in early modern England. The thesis conducts a close textual and contextual analysis of the representation of schoolmasters and parents and of parent-school relations in seven English plays. A variety of dramatic genres is represented: public drama (Love's Labour's Lost, Patient Grissill, The Winter's Tale), school drama (Nice Wanton, July and Julian, The Disobedient Child), and private royal entertainment (The Lady of May). The plays are explicated in terms of the Tudor school culture and the negotiation of authority between fathers, mothers and schoolmasters. The thesis draws extensively on sixteenth-century school dialogues and vulgaria and on education treatises, which were available in English in Tudor England, in particular the writings of Erasmus, Vives, Ascham, Mulcaster, Elyot, Brinsley and Becon. School records provide information on school conditions and curricula, the duties and qualities of schoolmasters and the role of schools in civic and public performances. The thesis addresses issues of gender, childrearing, public education and parental and pedagogical authority in the second half of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-09The aim of the present dissertation constitutes to analyse the way in how light assumes the meaning of universal bond in the cosmovision of Marsilio Ficino, especially from his works Quid sit lumen, De Sole, De Amore and De Vita. The influence of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) in the history of occidental thought is impressive. Besides having translated to Latin the important texts of the neoplatonic tradition, Ficino presided over the Academy of Careggi, congregating important humanists in the top of the Renaissance. His treatises on love, beauty, light, magic and immortality of the soul have influenced strongly the production of other thinkers. The subject of light is of fundamental importance among his works since it is deeply related with all the other aspects of his philosophy. For him, light is spiritual emanation that perpasses everything without staining itself. Originated how the divine goodness, the light blows up in beauty in multiplicity, setting fire on the soul that truily contemplates it and that identifies whith it. The starting point of this loving relation between man and deity is, therefore, the physical world, that occults in itself the metaphysical light.

Full textAbstract:
Matteo Ricci's True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven (1603) has been studied extensively by scholars of the Jesuit China Mission, especially in terms of accommodation through means of Scholastic and Humanist arguments and translation choices. Few of these studies, however, discuss the genre of this work (disputation), nor consider this genre in relation to Renaissance rhetorical teachings and how this relationship informs Ricci's accommodative strategies. The purpose of this paper is to remedy this gap in early modern Jesuit scholarship. Through a review of the history of accommodations in disputations in the Aristotelian-Scholastic and Ciceronian-Humanist traditions, this paper claims that True Meaning is a Humanist disputation, not only because Ricci translated Christian terms into Chinese and draws references from classical sources, but also because this text follows strategies taught in the Humanist, but not the Scholastic curriculum. If True Meaning is a Humanist disputation, then Ricci's teachings should be reconsidered from the perspective of Renaissance rhetoric, which sheds further light on how Ricci's work fits into Renaissance culture and the transformation of the early modern disputation genre, as well as provides further explanation of the Western accommodation paradigm Ricci brought to China, which is prior to understanding how Ricci was transformed by China.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the Andalusian stage in the life of the author of the Comentarios Reales, as the original context of its creation. This literary context involves both its discursive nature (description of a culturally sufficient scenario, in dialogue with the reader) and its nationalist legitimation (the claim of an identity within the Christian Commonwealth). Such legitimation receives its characteristic mark of Renaissance logic (so common to the European nationalist process, from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century), but, more specifically, as a particular process of legitimizing stigmatized societies. In that sense, Andalucía, full of conversos incorporated into the Christian world (in Jewish and morisco minorities who claimed the right of Christian affiliation, recognized above all in the Society of Jesus until 1593) offered an ideal model for revindicating the despised, pre-Christian America (the Incas).El presente artículo propone considerar la etapa andaluza del autor de losComentarios Reales como su contexto original de creación. Este contexto literario involucra tanto su naturaleza discursiva (descripción de un escenario culturalmente suficiente, en diálogo interpersonal con el lector) como su legitimación nacionalista (reclamación de identidad dentro de la Commonwealthc ristiana). Tal legitimación recibe su marca característica de la lógica renacentista (tan común al proceso nacionalista europeo, desde el siglo XIV al XIX), pero se matiza como un proceso particular de legitimación de sociedades estigmatizadas. En ese sentido, la Andalucía llena de conversos incorporados al universo cristiano (en minorías judías y moriscas que reclamaban el derecho a su pertenencia cristiana, reconocido excepcionalmente en la Compañía de Jesús hasta 1593) ofrecía un modelo reivindicativo idóneo para la América precristiana menospreciada (los incas).

Full textAbstract:
Around the turn of the year 1431 the city of Lucca charged their new chancellor Cristoforo Turrettini to write a Latin letter to the Florentines decrying their recent bellicose actions against their lands. Turrettini wrote, not to the leading Florentine governmental bodies, but rather to their head secretary, Leonardo Bruni. Bruni responded on January 8 with a seemingly private Latin letter that he later placed into his humanist letter book. Around the same time Bruni wrote a public letter in the vernacular, his Defense against the Detractors of the People of Florence for their Attack against Lucca, in response to the same criticisms. This paper will examine these texts within their political and cultural contexts, with particular emphasis on questions of public and private distinctions as well as political legitimacy in humanist writing during the quattrocento.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose de démontrer, à travers l’exemple des manuscrits d’histoire antique enluminés par l’atelier des Colombe à Bourges, que durant le dernier tiers du XVème siècle, à l’instar des humanistes et des lettrés de l’époque, les enlumineurs français aussi sont en plein questionnement sur la représentation de l’Antiquité et que cette réflexion a rapidement évolué entre 1470 et 1500 grâce à l’intensification des échanges artistique et la nécessité de s’adapter aux nouveaux goûts des commanditaires. La première partie met en évidence les conditions concrètes de production des manuscrits de matière antique illustrés par l’atelier berruyer, les collaborateurs qui y ont participé, les textes illustrés et leurs commanditaires. La genèse de l’esthétique antique des Colombe est analysée dans la seconde partie, à travers une étude du traitement du décor et du costume dans leurs principales commandes. Nous tâchons, enfin, d’évaluer dans une troisième partie l’impact de l’œuvre antique des Colombe sur la production enluminée contemporaine, en particulier à Bourges, Lyon et ParisThis Ph.D demonstrates, through the case of manuscripts of ancient history illustrated by the Colombe workshop in Bourges, that during the last third of the XVth century, like the humanists of the time, French illuminators also were questioning themselves on the representation of Antiquity and that this reflection evolved rapidly between 1470 and 1500 with the intensification of artistic exchanges and the necessity of fitting with their patrons taste. The first section introduces the manuscripts of greco-roman history painted by the Colombe which came down to us, the painters who participated in their illumination, the texts illustrated and their patrons. The evolution of the representation of Antiquity in the Colombe’s work is studied in a second part, through the analysis of architectures and costumes in their main manuscripts. In the last section, we try to assess the influence of the Colombe’s antique work on contemporary illumination, and more particularly in Bourges, Lyon and Paris

Propomos neste estudo uma leitura e comentário do capítulo De l\'institution des enfans, Livro I, 26, dos Essais de Michel de Montaigne. Trata-se de contribuir para a discussão e elucidação de um capítulo que, embora muito conhecido e mobilizado pela crítica especializada, sobretudo pelos historiadores da educação, apresenta um trabalho de interpretação quase sempre pouco atento aos desenvolvimentos próprios do texto. A tese labora em duas frentes: naquela da história e das concepções educacionais do humanismo renascentista e naquela - em que está seu interesse principal - da compreensão e articulação dos elementos essenciais do pensamento pedagógico de Montaigne. Ressaltamos o exercício do julgamento, a conversação como meio pedagógico e a importância da filosofia moral na formação dos jovensThe purpose of this study is to do a read and comment the chapter De l institution des enfans, Livre I, 26, of the Les Essais, wrote by Michel de Montaigne. It contributes to discuss and elucidate a chapter that, even though its very known and mobilized by the specialized critics, over all by the educations historians, presents an interpretation work almost always little intent to the proper developments of the text. The thesis deals in two fronts: in that one of the history and the educational conceptions of the Renaissance Humanism and in that one - in which exists its main interest - of the understanding and joint of the essential elements of the Montaignes pedagogical thought. We stand out the exercise of the judgment, the conversation as pedagogical instrument and the importance of the moral philosophy in the formation of the young

Full textAbstract:
Surdéterminé, l'humanisme est une vaste notion confuse qui contient cependant une vitalité philosophique, politique et éthique. Abordé ici dès les sophistes contestés par la philosophie antihumaniste de Platon, l'humanisme évolue à travers diverses tendances contraires ou complémentaires, qui accordent une certaine valeur à l'homme (supérieur ou vulnérable), liée à une confiance nuancée en celui-ci. L'antihumanisme n'est pas tant un déni de l'humain qu'une remise en place de l'homme. C'est à partir de là que peut se vivre et se penser l'humanisme aujourd'hui. Il est une attitude et une pensée qui se soucient du cours du monde, un défi qui comporte des exigences éthiques et politiques qui doivent être effectives en vue d'un monde commun habitable pour les humains imprévisibles, un monde délié de l'omnipotence d'un capitalisme et d'une technique qui repoussent à la marge ce qui leur résiste
