The present volume focuses on a two-fold issue: food as a cultural element that united Mediterranean European society, and food as a cultural encounter between European explorers and new worlds during the early Renaissance.
This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However, whilst medieval feasting in England, France and Italy has been thoroughly studied, Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills, the interaction between medicine and eating, and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture, as well as their attitude towards food, connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature, history, language, art, religion and medicine, and to those interested in a social, cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages.
Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2018, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Albacete (Spain) on the theme of “Humanity and Nature: Arts and Sciences in Neo-Latin Literature”. This volume presents the conference’s papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.
Leading journal in the field of Renaissance and modern Latin As well as presenting articles on Neo-Latin topics, the annual journalHumanistica Lovaniensia is a major source for critical editions of Neo-Latin texts with translations and commentaries. Its systematic bibliography of Neo-Latin studies (Instrumentum bibliographicum Neolatinum), accompanied by critical notes, is the standard annual bibliography of publications in the field. The journal is fully indexed (names, mss., Neo-Latin neologisms).
La Criança y virtuosa dotrina es el único impreso poético de Pedro de Gracia Dei, un testimonio incunable del que se conserva un solo ejemplar que, a su vez, es mútilo, razón por la que no ha recibido hasta ahora la suficiente atención por parte de la crítica. Y esto a pesar de su interés socioliterario y su carácter temprano, con acogida inmediata en la imprenta salmantina en torno al año 1488, producida en un contexto universitario y dedicada a la infanta Isabel, la primogénita de los Reyes Católicos. Aquí se ofrece, por tanto, la primera edición crítica de esta obra y su estudio literario, que, de manera decidida, la incluye en la nómina de la poesía alegórica del siglo xv.
Il volume raduna trentaquattro contributi (in italiano, inglese, tedesco, spagnolo, francese) offerti a Enrico Maltese da illustri specialisti dei campi di studio da lui maggiormente frequentati: la letteratura greca, la civiltà bizantina, la filologia umanistica. Tra i saggi qui raccolti trovano posto edizioni di testi, contributi esegetici e di critica testuale, originali messe a punto di problemi di storia letteraria, di tradizione e ricezione di testi classici. This volume contains thirty-four contributions (in Italian, English, German, Spanish and French) offered to Enrico Maltese by distinguished specialists in his main research fields, namely Greek literature, Byzantine civilization, and humanistic philology. The essays collected here include editions of texts, exegetical notes and topics concerning textual criticism, as well as case studies exploring literary history and the tradition and reception of the Classics.
Il volume raccoglie sedici saggi di Carla Maria Monti consacrati al suo autore d’elezione, Francesco Petrarca, testimonianza di una lunga dedizione, viva e feconda nel corso degli anni. Sono stati scelti i contributi petrarcheschi più significativi che, pubblicati in diverse sedi editoriali, toccano diverse tematiche, focalizzandosi in particolare sullo studio dei classici e della Bibbia da parte del grande letterato trecentesco. In confinio duorum populorum contiene saggi pubblicati fra il 1989 e il 2021, riproposti in una nuova veste editoriale. Essi sono preceduti dalla bibliografia completa degli scritti di Carla Maria Monti. La pubblicazione onora il momento in cui la studiosa lascia la cattedra di Filologia medievale e umanistica presso l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, dove ha insegnato con passione per molti anni, con l’auspicio che questi saggi, elaborati nel solco del magistero di Giuseppe Billanovich, si rivelino fecondi per ulteriori sviluppi negli studi petrarcheschi.
Els dos volums dOmnia mutantur apleguen algunes de les contribucions que, focalitzades en la cultura, la literatura, la llengua i la civilització de la Grècia i la Roma antigues, així com en la seva pervivència, es presentaren en el decurs dunes jornades celebrades a la Universitat de Barcelona el juliol de 2013. El fil conductor dels articles que componen els llibres és el concepte de canvi i la capacitat dadaptació dels antics a noves circumstàncies i nous contextos socials, culturals, intel·lectuals i lingüístics, fet que permet reconèixer també la vigència de lAntiguitat grega i romana. Aquest segon volum ofereix nombroses actualitzacions de temes relacionats amb el món llatí, sovint revisionistes sobre teories existents, sovint innovadores. Omnia mutantur vol ser un instrument útil per als filòlegs i estudiosos del món antic, i alhora contribuir a la difusió i continuïtat de la tasca que es realitza en aquest camp del coneixement.
