Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Vindobonensis
Since 1971, the International Congress for Neo-Latin Studies has been organised every three years in various cities of Europe and North America. In August 2015, Vienna in Austria was the venue of the sixteenth Neo-Latin conference, held by the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies. The proceedings of the Vienna conference have been collected in this volume under the motto “Contextus Neolatini – Neo-Latin in Local, Trans-Regional and Worldwide Contexts – Neulatein im lokalen, transregionalen und weltweiten Kontext”. Sixty-five individual and five plenary papers spanning the period from the Renaissance to the present offer a variety of themes covering a range of genres such as history, literature, philology, art history, and religion. The contributions will be of relevance not only for scholarly readers, but also for an interested non-professional audience.
The Censorship and Fortuna of Platina's Lives of the Popes in the Sixteenth Century
When Bartolomeo Sacchi ('Platina', 1421-1481) wrote his Vitae pontificum (Lives of the Popes) and presented it to Pope Sixtus IV in 1475, he surely could not have imagined how influential it would become over the centuries. His was the first papal history composed as a humanist Latin narrative and, as such, marked a distinct breakthrough in relation to the Liber pontificalis, the standard medieval chronicle of the papacy. Whatever Platina's intentions for the book, it soon came to be regarded as the official history of the Roman pontiffs. After the editio princeps of Venice 1479, updated and extended editions continued to be produced until late in the eighteenth century. The largely untold s...
Dis-ordine virale: politica e linguaggi della crisi
A quattro anni dalla scoperta di un virus che ha impresso una trasformazione radicale al sistema di codici (politici, giuridici, filosofici, linguistici) intorno a cui si costituiscono e si articolano le civiltà, il volume si propone come momento di riflessione sui linguaggi della crisi e sulle forme adottate per raccontare ‘il male’, durante l’ultima pandemia, problematizzando alcuni temi nevralgici che hanno dominato il dibattito civile e scientifico. Pur non avendo scalfito la solidità del modello neoliberale, in grado di colonizzare economia, risorse umane, modelli culturali, la pandemia ha configurato nuovi scenari - qui esaminati da prospettive di ricerca diversificate - contagiando la politica, la comunicazione, il lavoro, l’istruzione, le relazioni sociali.

Books, People, and Military Thought
How did the evolution of new gunpowder weapons change the nature, structure and composition of the Florentine militias during the first decades of the sixteenth century? Through an examination of little-known and unpublished sources, this book provides a comparative exploration of two Florentine republican experiments with a peasant militia: one promoted and created by Niccolò Machiavelli (1506–12) and a later one (1527–30). Using this comparison as the basis for a new reading of Machiavelli’s Art of War (which drew on the author's experience with the militia), the book then investigates the relationship between the circulation and reception of Machiavelli’s influential work, changing conceptions of militia, and the formation of new cultures of warfare in Europe in the sixteenth century.
