Italian Literature Before 1900 in English Translation
"Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation provides the most complete record possible of texts from the early periods that have been translated into English, and published between 1929 and 2008. It lists works from all genres and subjects, and includes translations wherever they have appeared across the globe. In this annotated bibliography, Robin Healey covers over 5,200 distinct editions of pre-1900 Italian writings. Most entries are accompanied by useful notes providing information on authors, works, translators, and how the translations were received. Among the works by over 1,500 authors represented in this volume are hundreds of editions by Italy's most translated authors - Dante Alighieri, [Niccoláo] Machiavelli, and [Giovanni] Boccaccio - and other hundreds which represent the author's only English translation. A significant number of entries describe works originally published in Latin. Together with Healey's Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English Translation, this volume makes comprehensive information on translations accessible for schools, libraries, and those interested in comparative literature."--Pub. desc.
Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires
The cross-cultural exchange of ideas that flourished in the Mediterranean during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries profoundly affected European and Islamic society. Gardens of Renaissance Europe and the Islamic Empires considers the role and place of gardens and landscapes in the broader context of the information sharing that took place among Europeans and Islamic empires in Turkey, Persia, and India. In illustrating commonalities in the design, development, and people’s perceptions of gardens and nature in both regions, this volume substantiates important parallels in the revolutionary advancements in landscape architecture that took place during the era. The contributors explain h...

Il Palazzo del Verginese
Il libro propone un percorso conoscitivo sulla Delizia del Verginese, caso studio emblematico per la sua relazione con il territorio, la storia e lo stato di conservazione, inquadrata all’interno del sistema culturale delle Delizie Estensi rinascimentali. Attraverso gli strumenti di studio propri del settore disciplinare del Disegno, illustra un percorso di ricerca e analisi multiscala dell’architettura e del suo territorio, attraverso il rilievo inteso come cantiere della conoscenza. Partendo dall’inquadramento storico, il percorso di analisi individua una possibile genesi progettuale, l’articolazione geometrica, funzionale e la sua relazione con il giardino e il territorio circostante, arrivando a contestualizzarne la presenza nel tempo e nello spazio. Attraverso gli strumenti e i metodi della Scienza della rappresentazione ne viene infine restituita la forma nel piano e in 3D, suggerendo alcuni percorsi comunicativi per la promozione e valorizzazione del Bene.
Hypnerotomachia Poliphili e Roma
Fino ad ora sottovalutati perché difficilmente dimostrabili, in realtà gli scambi culturali tra gli artisti e i letterati hanno contribuito a caratterizzare l'originalità del Rinascimento italiano. Pinturicchio lavora al pavimento del Duomo di Siena e nella Libreria Piccolomini appaiono evidenti citazioni del Polifilo. Andrea Mantegna e Pomponio Leto, fondatore dell'Accademia Romana, sono compresenti nell'Accademia dei Vertunni di Brescia mentre Giovanni Bellini, che aveva una vigna a Roma dove venne ritrovato uno specchio antico, dipingeva il ritratto di Raffaele Zovenzoni autore dei celebri versi in onore di Francesco Colonna antiquario. Tra gli estimatori del Polifilo anche Jacopo Gall...

A Mind Always in Motion
The renowned physicist Emilio Segr� (1905-1989) left his memoirs to be published posthumously because, he said, "I tell the truth the way it was and not the way many of my colleagues wish it had been." This compelling autobiography offers a personal account of his fascinating life as well as candid portraits of some of this century's most important scientists, such as Enrico Fermi, E. O. Lawrence, and Robert Oppenheimer. Born in Italy to a well-to-do Jewish family, Segr� showed early signs of scientific genius--at age seven he began a notebook of physics experiments. He became Fermi's first graduate student in 1928 and contributed to the discovery of slow neutrons, and later was appointe...
