Georg Palma's Library: Local knowledge in sixteenth century medicine. In the sixteenth century, Georg Palma (1543-1592), municipal physician in Nuremberg, put together a collection of more than 800 books, which he bequeathed on his death to the recently founded municipal library. Examining his marginalia, note-taking and the personal records of his own medical practice, my paper reconstructs Palma's reading practice as a subset of his medical activities. I argue that Palma used his library in a way that falls between medical theory and medical practice, as well as between theoretical conceptions of orality and literature. Although the library is, perhaps, the quintessentially literate institution, Palma's carefully constructed collection reflects a strong awareness of local medical knowledge. For Palma, and I argue for municipal physicians more generally, even as the sixteenth century standardized and regulated transmission of medical knowledge, educated physicians folded into learned theory medical practices that were environmental and historical, local and traditional.
This paper considers the emergence of French academic classicism in architecture alongside several legally sanctioned building practices in late 17th-century Paris, including newly regulated methods of funding, construction, and speculation. As opposed to the representational dictates of French Classicism, which granted intellectual authority to historical precedents and mathematical principles, these procedures tested, quantified, and gambled on architecture as a material reality. As a construction site, the Place des Victoires (1685-1694) by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, among others, proves a particular potent case study: Proposed and partially funded by the Duke of La Feuillade to house a royal sculpture by Martin Desjardins, the project involved a complex web of architects, sculptors, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs practicing throughout the speculatively developing quarter of the Butte St.-Roch. That the place royale – circular in form and ordered in its ensemble of details – was frequently subject to theoretical analysis proves its engagement with the classical model. This paper, therefore, examines the means by which the period’s regulated practices of construction and finance (a process that might best be described as “classicism-in-production”) continually interacted and intervened in the conceptualization and edification of classicism at the end of the Grand Siècle.
The Sala della Creazione is the main room of the palazzo Besta of Teglio. Neither the artist nor the exact date are known and, for those reasons, the cycle remained largely ignored by art historians. The decoration is based on the Old Testament, especially the Creation, and on astrological and cartographic maps. Regarding the iconography of the Creation and the cartographic production, the Sala della Creazione appears as a unicum which combines the imagination of the origins and the one of maps. This paper wants to trace the roots of such an invention, which is linked to a deep meditation on the role of man in the order of cosmos. The poetic way of the artist and the empirical way of the cosmographer are here combined in a common goal: expose, to the eye of the spectator, the history of the world, from the Creation to present times.
Rhetoric and religious imagery were often coupled during the Renaissance: the first resorted to the second in order to move and excite the emotions of the public; and the image, for its part, benefited from the direction and commentary provided by sermons. Of the three aims of classical rhetoric, movere was the most sought after by orators and art theoreticians alike. Through this ‘emotive rhetoric’ (in Aby Warburg’s words) that appealed to the senses, the preacher interacted with altarpieces and individual images with the aim of provoking feelings, and some devotional texts taught the devout to compose mental images to the point of visualising themselves as witnesses. This proposal aims to underline the existence of this cross-breeding Hispanic-Italian theory of the sacred image, which can explain the mechanisms of the invention, control and reception of religious art in the Roman Catholic Church in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

The fortifications of Famagusta, the largest port of Renaissance Cyprus, initially rose between 1308 and 1372 on orders from the Lusignan, the island’s ruling French family, and following Papal indulgences for their hastened completion. The chain of sociopolitical events that shaped Famagusta’s history under the subsequent rules of Genoa (1373-1464) and Venice (1489-1571) necessitated substantial modifications to the physical disposition of the city’s waterfront castle, walls, fifteen towers and three gates. This paper interprets the defensive structures of Famagusta both as barriers that fragmented the city and its surrounding area into distinct territories, and as a network of interconnected spaces that gave the city its unified character and urban form. The city’s fortifications are shown to have not only functioned as inseparable parts of its military history, but also to have shaped the everyday life experiences of its diversified ethno-linguistic populace, and to have commanded Famagusta’s changing tyche or fortune.
Le notizie pervenuteci su Trifone Gabriel consentono di inquadrare il personaggio tra i grandi eruditi del XVI secolo. È indubbio, infatti, che egli – nonostante conducesse una vita ritirata e meditativa – avesse messo in piedi una prestigiosa scuola per giovani umanisti. Ne fanno menzione Daniello nella sua Spositione del ‘41 e lo Speroni, il quale nel Dialogo della Retorica fa raccontare ad Antonio Brocardo come quest’ultimo sia stato guidato nell’apprendimento del Petrarca proprio da Gabriel. Prova di ciò è l’incunabolo Vaticano Rossiano 710, un Petrarca con marginalia e note autografe di Brocardo, prese sotto la guida di Gabriel (doctissimo Triphone interpretante). La cattiva qualità di scrittura, la presenza di più mani, le cancellature rendono i lavori sul tale postillato non facili. Gli studi in merito (per lo più materiali) non abbozzano neppure la possibilità di un’edizione, che a mio avviso non è solo fattibile, ma anche più che mai opportuna.
