Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milan was for centuries the most important center of economic, ecclesiastical and political power in Lombardy. As the State of Milan it extended in the Renaissance over a large part of northern and central Italy and numbered over thirty cities with their territories. A Companion to Late Medieval and early Modern Milan examines the story of the city and State from the establishment of the duchy under the Viscontis in 1395 through to the 150 years of Spanish rule and down to its final absorption into Austrian Lombardy in 1704. It opens up to a wide readership a well-documented synthesis which is both fully informative and reflects current debate. 20 chapters by qualified and distinguished scholars offer a new and original perspective with themes ranging from society to politics, music to literature, the history of art to law, the church to the economy.

Download or read book Florentine Political Writings from Petrarch to Machiavelli written by Mark Jurdjevic and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fifteenth-century republic of Florence, political power resided in the hands of middle-class merchants, a few wealthy families, and powerful craftsmen's guilds. The intensity of Florentine factionalism and the frequent alterations in its political institutions gave Renaissance thinkers ample opportunities to inquire into the nature of political legitimacy and the relationship between authority and its social context. This volume provides a selection of texts that describes the language, conceptual vocabulary, and issues at stake in Florentine political culture at key moments in its development during the Renaissance. Rather than presenting Renaissance political thought as a static set of arguments, Florentine Political Writings from Petrarch to Machiavelli instead illustrates the degree to which political thought in the Italian City revolved around a common cluster of topics that were continually modified and revised—and the way those common topics could be made to serve radically divergent political purposes. Editors Mark Jurdjevic, Natasha Piano, and John P. McCormick offer readers the opportunity to appreciate how Renaissance political thought, often expressed in the language of classical idealism, could be productively applied to pressing civic questions. The editors expand the scope of Florentine humanist political writing by explicitly connecting it with the sixteenth-century realist turn most influentially exemplified by Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini. Presenting nineteen primary source documents, including lesser known texts by Machiavelli and Guicciardini, several of which are here translated into English for the first time, this useful compendium shows how the Renaissance political imagination could be deployed to think through methods of electoral technology, the balance of power between different social groups, and other practical matters of political stability.

Download or read book Antonio da Rho, Three Dialogues against Lactantius written by David Rutherford and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il racconto delle gesta delle due dinastie più importanti della storia milanese A partire dal 1277, quando Ottone Visconti entra da trionfatore in città e ne prende il controllo, Milano è stata sottoposta al dominio della famiglia Visconti, prima, e della famiglia Sforza, poi. La loro egemonia termina solo duecentocinquant’anni dopo, quando Francesco II Sforza muore senza eredi e lascia la città nelle mani degli spagnoli di Carlo V. La storia di quegli anni è piena di feroci lotte dinastiche, incesti e delitti compiuti nel nome del potere. E anche di leggende: patti con il demonio, tombe che rifiutano le persone che vi sono seppellite, magia nera usata per liberarsi di scomodi nemici, fantasmi vendicativi e draghi capaci di divorare un uomo in un solo boccone. Gian Luca Margheriti racconta due secoli e mezzo di storia milanese: i personaggi che l’hanno plasmata, gli eventi più importanti che l’hanno caratterizzata, e le storie e gli aneddoti che l’hanno colorita. Dalla vittoria di Ottone Visconti alla morte di Francesco II Sforza: storie e leggende di oltre due secoli milanesi Tra gli argomenti trattati: Ottone Visconti prende il potere La crociata contro Milano Azzone Visconti, il costruttore di Milano Bernabò, il più feroce dei Visconti Il conte di virtù, Gian Galeazzo Visconti Caterina Visconti, una donna alla guida del ducato A morte Giovanni Maria Visconti! L’ultimo dei Visconti: Filippo Maria La parentesi dell’aurea repubblica ambrosiana Muzio Attendolo detto Sforza Sforza, un nuovo nome alla guida di Milano Il lusso alla corte di Galeazzo Maria Sforza Caterina Sforza La congiura di Santo Stefano Ludovico il Moro, il vero signore di Milano Leonardo, un fiorentino alla corte del Moro Gli errori di Ludovico il Moro, duca di Milano Francesco, ultimo degli Sforza Gian Luca Margheriti Nato a Milano nel 1976, è fotografo e scrittore. Ha curato la rubrica “Milano segreta”, sulle pagine del «Corriere della Sera». Con la Newton Compton ha pubblicato 101 tesori nascosti di Milano da vedere almeno una volta nella vita; I personaggi più misteriosi della storia; 1001 cose da vedere a Milano almeno una volta nella vita; Le incredibili curiosità di Milano e, con Francesca Belotti, Milano segreta e 101 storie su Milano che non ti hanno mai raccontato. Ha scritto anche Lettere dall’Inferno, la storia di Jack lo Squartatore e La Milano dei miracoli. Ha un canale YouTube, Milano in 90 secondi (o quasi), dedicato alla scoperta delle leggende e delle curiosità di Milano.

Download or read book Absolutism in Renaissance Milan: Plenitude of Power under the Visconti and the Sforza 1329-1535 written by Jane Black and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absolutism in Renaissance Milan shows how authority above the law, once the preserve of pope and emperor, was claimed by the ruling Milanese dynasties, the Visconti and the Sforza, and why this privilege was finally abandoned by Francesco II Sforza (d. 1535), the last duke. As new rulers, the Visconti and the Sforza had had to impose their regime by rewarding supporters at the expense of opponents. That process required absolute power, also known as 'plenitude of power', meaning the capacity to overrule even fundamental laws and rights, including titles to property. The basis for such power reflected the changing status of Milanese rulers, first as signori and then as dukes. Contemporary lawyers, schooled in the sanctity of fundamental laws, were at first prepared to overturn established doctrines in support of the free use of absolute power: even the leading jurist of the day, Baldo degli Ubaldi (d. 1400), accepted the new teaching. However, lawyers came eventually to regret the new approach and to reassert the principle that laws could not be set aside without compelling justification. The Visconti and the Sforza too saw the dangers of absolute power: as legitimate princes they were meant to champion law and justice, not condone arbitrary acts that disregarded basic rights. Jane Black traces these developments in Milan over the course of two centuries, showing how the Visconti and Sforza regimes seized, exploited and finally relinquished absolute power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first global history of dress regulation and its place in broader debates around how human life and societies should be visualised and materialised. Sumptuary laws were a tool on the part of states to regulate not only manufacturing systems and moral economies via the medium of expenditure and consumption of clothing but also banquets, festivities and funerals. Leading scholars on Asian, Latin American, Ottoman and European history shed new light on how and why items of dress became key aspirational goods across society, how they were lobbied for and marketed, and whether or not sumptuary laws were implemented by cities, states and empires to restrict or channel trade and consumption. Their findings reveal the significance of sumptuary laws in medieval and early modern societies as a site of contestation between individuals and states and how dress as an expression of identity developed as a modern 'human right'.

Book excerpt: The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deals with the history of eyeglasses from their invention in Italy ca. 1286 to the appearance of the telescope three cent. later. "By the end of the 16th cent. eyeglasses were as common in western and central Europe as desktop computers are in western developed countries today." Eyeglasses served an important technological function at both the intellectual and practical level, not only easing the textual studies of scholars but also easing the work of craftsmen/small bus. During the 15th cent. two crucial developments occurred: the ability to grind convex lenses for various levels of presbyopia and the ability to grind concave lenses for the correction of myopia. As a result, eyeglasses could be made almost to prescription by the early 17th cent. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on important issues highlighted by the late Philip Jones, this volume explores key aspects of the city state in late-medieval and Renaissance Italy, particularly the nature and quality of different types of government. It focuses on the apparently antithetical but often similar governmental forms represented by the republics and despotisms of the period. Beginning with a reprint of Jones's original 1965 article, the volume then provides twenty new essays that re-examine the issues he raised in light of modern scholarship. Taking a broad chronological and geographic approach, the collection offers a timely re-evaluation of a question of perennial interest to urban and political historians, as well as those with an interest in medieval and Renaissance Italy.
