Cheap Print and the People
In every country across Europe, at some point or other during the last five hundred years, cheap printed materials were the staple diet of ordinary people, providing a rich array of entertainment, education, and information. They came in various forms, but were usually variations on the theme of single sheets or simple booklets, and they were carried far and wide in pedlars’ packs and sold in the streets, at fairs and markets and wherever crowds gathered, as well as in backstreet shops. Their content was as broad as can be imagined: news and scandal, crimes and last-dying confessions of murderers, divinations, instructional works, wonder stories, miracles, folktales and legends, love stori...
School Memories
This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).
Petrarch and the Textual Origins of Interpretation
This volume addresses one of the most far-reaching aspects of Petrarch research and interpretation: the essential interplay between Petrarch’s texts and their material preparation and reception. The essays look at various facets of the interaction between Petrarchan philology and hermeneutics, working from the premise that in Petrarch’s work philological issues are so authorially driven that we cannot in fact read or interpret him without understanding the relevant philological issues and reapplying them in our critical approach to his works. To read and interpret Petrarch we must come to grips with the fundamentals of Petrarchan philology. This volume aims to show how a Petrarchan hermeneutics must be based on an understanding of Petrarchan philology.

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...
Italianità
«Il carattere nazionale è stato un elemento centrale delle riflessioni di una parte importante del mondo intellettuale e politico dal Risorgimento alla Repubblica, e il discorso sui vizi degli italiani è stato anche parte integrante della lotta politica, nel senso che è stato regolarmente messo in campo e utilizzato come strumento nella battaglia per la definizione della nazione». Dai patrioti risorgimentali che volevano che gli italiani prendessero in mano il loro destino, al fascismo che voleva trasformarli in una massa disciplinata e militarizzata, fino all'Italia postbellica, in ogni epoca il discorso sul carattere nazionale ha assunto toni e contenuti differenti. Nel corso del temp...
The Poet's Wisdom
The book explores the philosophical thinking of Petrarch and Boccaccio in contrast to the writings of contemporary mendicants. Examining both Latin and vernacular works, it investigates how these humanists poetically express the temporal, subjective, and emotional quality of moral sensibility, in a way that shifts to the reader the weight of discerning the ethical message. The book centers its analysis on a series of paradoxes pondered by these humanists: the self that changes yet persists over time; the awareness of self-deception; the individual's validation of authority; and the ethics of pleasure. This study is valuable to those interested in Renaissance philosophy, literature, religion, and the history of ideas.
