Studies in Italian Sacred and Instrumental Music in the 17th Century
Stephen Bonta's research on seventeenth-century Italian music, particularly for strings, spans more than 30 years. Included in this selection of his published articles is his seminal study of the early history of the bass violin which proved to be the foundation for his subsequent articles on the early history of the violoncello. In addition to the discussions of secular instrumental music, the volume features essays that explore Italian sacred music of the period, including Monteverdi's Marian Vespers.
The Vacant See in Early Modern Rome
In The Vacant See in Early Modern Rome John M. Hunt offers a social history of the papal interregnum from 1559 to 1655. The study concentrates on the Roman people’s relationship with their sacred ruler. Using criminal sources from the Archivio di Stato di Roma and Vatican sources, Hunt emphasizes the violent and tumultuous nature of the lapse in papal authority that followed the pope’s death. The vacant see was a time in which Romans of modest social backgrounds claimed unprecedented power. From personal acts of revenge to collective protests staged at the Capitol Hill and citywide discussions of the papal election the vacant see provided Romans with a unique opportunity for political involvement in an age of omnipresent hierarchy.

Au bout de ma souvenance
Hélène ressentit une vive douleur aux tempes, un cri de femme déchirant hurlait « Mario ! » dans sa tête, comme un écho lointain. Marina venait d'entrer en elle et allait y ressurgir, toute sa vie, par périodes. Dans ces états seconds, la jeune femme parlait un dialecte italien jamais appris. Des images d'une autre époque l'assaillaient : une Fontana di Diavolo, des hommes en uniforme poursuivant un jeune homme en révolte, Mario, qu'elle aimait. Au « réveil », Hélène ne se souvenait de rien. Marina s'installa dans le corps, dans la vie d'Hélène, de plus en plus souvent, lui volant des pans entiers de son existence, la vivant à sa place. Lutte impitoyable de deux âmes pour un seul corps. Giovanni, intrigué par cette Française répétant le chant des pleureuses que sa grand-mère psalmodiait, dans ses Pouilles natales, décida de l'accompagner Au bout de sa souvenance. Y trouvera-t-elle la folie ou les vestiges d'une vie antérieure ?
Italians to America: Passengers arriving at New York, October 1901-March 1902
Italians to America provides both genealogists and researchers of family history with the first extensive, indexed source of Italian surname immigrants. This entire project was planned to span the years 1850 through 1893, but now the series has been extended. The series reproduces information from the original passenger lists filed by all vessels entering U.S. ports from abroad. Ships that departed from Italian ports or carried passengers who declared themselves to be of Italian origin are included, with first and last names, age, sex, occupation, and province and village of origin (whenever available) provided for each emigrant. A complete index of names is included at the end of every volume. Italians to America may be ordered by individual volume. Standing orders, which receive a 10% discount, are also welcomed.
