Book Synopsis Images of Quattrocento Florence by : Stefano Ugo Baldassarri
Download or read book Images of Quattrocento Florence written by Stefano Ugo Baldassarri and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology provides a panoramic view of fifteenth-century Florence in the words of the city's own citizens and visitors. The fifty-one selections offer glimpses into Renaissance thought. Together, the documents demonstrate the social, political, religious, and cultural impact Florence had in shaping the Italian and European Renaissance, and they reveal how Florence created, developed, and diffused the mythology of its own origins and glory. The documents point up the divergences in quattrocento accounts of the origins of Florence, and they reveal the importance of the city's economy, social life, and military success to the formation of its image. The book includes sources that elaborate on the city's accomplishments in literature and the visual arts, others that present major trends in Florentine religious life, and still others that attest to the acclaim and admiration that Florence evoked from foreign visitors. The editors also provide an informative introduction, a detailed chronology of fifteenth-century Italy, maps, photographs, an annotated bibliography, and a biographical sketch of the author of each document.

Book Synopsis Disaster in the Early Modern World by : Ovanes Akopyan
Download or read book Disaster in the Early Modern World written by Ovanes Akopyan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did early modern societies think about disasters, such as earthquakes or floods? How did they represent disaster, and how did they intervene to mitigate its destructive effects? This collection showcases the breadth of new work on the period ca. 1300-1750. Covering topics that range from new thinking about risk and securitisation to the protection of dikes from shipworm, and with a geography that extends from Europe to Spanish America, the volume places early modern disaster studies squarely at the intersection of intellectual, cultural and socio-economic history. This period witnessed fresh speculation on nature, the diffusion of disaster narratives and imagery and unprecedented attempts to control the physical world. The book will be essential to specialists and students of environmental history and disaster, as well as general readers who seek to discover how pre-industrial societies addressed some of the same foundational issues we grapple with today.

Book Synopsis Rhetorik in Mittelalter und Renaissance by : Georg Strack
Download or read book Rhetorik in Mittelalter und Renaissance written by Georg Strack and published by Herbert Utz Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: »Rhetorik« als ein komplexes System, das verschiedene Wissensbestände integriert, war schon in der Vormoderne sowohl Teil der akademischen Grundlagenbildung als auch Objekt philosophischer Reflexion. Folglich ist ihre Erforschung seit jeher Bestandteil der Mittelalter- und Renaissancestudien. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes, der die Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Tagung des Zentrums für Mittelalter- und Renaissancestudien der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München enthält, nehmen ein breites Spektrum rhetorischer Konzepte und Praktiken vom Frühmittelalter bis in die Reformationszeit in den Blick. Dabei knüpfen sie an etablierte Fragestellungen der Kultur-, Literatur- und Sprachgeschichte an und befragen die theoretischen, literarischen und oratorischen Texte auch im Hinblick auf Konstruktionen kultureller und religiöser Diversität. Sie entwickeln so eine neue Perspektive auf die historische Rhetorikforschung

Book Synopsis Cultural Visions by : Penny Schine Gold
Download or read book Cultural Visions written by Penny Schine Gold and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection opens with an inquiry into the assumptions and methods of the historical study of culture, comparing the new cultural history with the old. Thirteen essays follow, each defining a problem within a particular culture. In the first section, Biography and Autobiography, three scholars explore historically changing types of self-conception, each reflecting larger cultural meanings; essays included examine Italian Renaissance biographers and the autobiographies of Benjamin Franklin and Mohandas Gandhi. A second group of contributors explore problems raised by the writing of history itself, especially as it relates to a notion of culture. Here examples are drawn from the writings of Thucydides, Jacob Burckhardt, and the art historians Alois Riegl and Josef Strzygowski. In the third section, Politics, Nationalism, and Culture, the essays explore relationships between cultural creativity and national identity, with case studies focusing on the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, the place of Castile within the national history of Spain, and the impact of World War I on work of Thomas Mann. The final section, Cultural Translation, raises the complex questions of cultural influence and the transmission of traditions over time through studies of Philo of Alexandria's interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, Erasmus' use of Socrates, Jean Bodin's conception of Roman law, and adaptations of the Hebrew Bible for American children.
