Download or read book Dante’s Bones written by Guy P. Raffa and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly detailed graveyard history of the Florentine poet whose dead body shaped Italy from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the Risorgimento, World War I, and Mussolini’s fascist dictatorship. Dante, whose Divine Comedy gave the world its most vividly imagined story of the afterlife, endured an extraordinary afterlife of his own. Exiled in death as in life, the Florentine poet has hardly rested in peace over the centuries. Like a saint’s relics, his bones have been stolen, recovered, reburied, exhumed, examined, and, above all, worshiped. Actors in this graveyard history range from Lorenzo de’ Medici, Michelangelo, and Pope Leo X to the Franciscan friar who hid the bones, the stone mason who accidentally discovered them, and the opportunistic sculptor who accomplished what princes, popes, and politicians could not: delivering to Florence a precious relic of the native son it had banished. In Dante’s Bones, Guy Raffa narrates for the first time the complete course of the poet’s hereafter, from his death and burial in Ravenna in 1321 to a computer-generated reconstruction of his face in 2006. Dante’s posthumous adventures are inextricably tied to major historical events in Italy and its relationship to the wider world. Dante grew in stature as the contested portion of his body diminished in size from skeleton to bones, fragments, and finally dust: During the Renaissance, a political and literary hero in Florence; in the nineteenth century, the ancestral father and prophet of Italy; a nationalist symbol under fascism and amid two world wars; and finally the global icon we know today.

Download or read book The Recovery of Stolen Art written by Norman Palmer and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-07-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heated public debate is in progress on both the national and international fronts. The issues: ethics, law, and morality relating to the return of looted, stolen, and unlawfully excavated art works. An important academic and practical initiative, The Recovery of Stolen Art collects essays by eminent scholars and practitioners that examine in detail the law relating to the recovery of stolen works of art and antiquities. The timing of the publication is particularly apposite, as it coincides with the entry into force of the UNIDROIT Convention in 1998. That a number of countries are actively considering adoption of the Convention necessitates an examination of the current regimes, since the Convention itself will not be retroactive in force. Stolen art is an area of the law where more complexities and underlying issues exist than initially meet the eye. For this reason, practitioners in this area and others affected by it must stay educated on the current state of the law. Its authoritativeness and currency make The Recovery of Stolen Art a critical component in such an effort.
