Kurienuniversität und stadtrömische Universität von ca. 1300 bis 1471
Amongst the oldest universities that of the Roman curia is the Great Unkown; little is known of the university of Rome (and of Avignon till 1378). To compensate the loss of sources materials mainly from the Vatican were intensively analysed and a prosopography of the dons and students (694 biograms in annex) drawn up. Some results: all three were legal universities of the southern type. The curial university was itinerant, it was continued at the general councils. Only when the curia resided there untroubled, the local schools of Rome (and Avignon) became great, international universities and different forms of association with the curial university were tried on. Rome was sought after by students from all over Europe for study of legal theory whereas praxis was learned at the papal court. Another attraction of Rome were the possibilities of attaining higher academic grades without much ceremony (first in theology, later also in law).
Early Modern Catholicism and the Printed Book
This collection of essays engages with a variety of aspects of early modern book culture in the 16th-17th centuries, considered in the Catholic context. The contributions reflect on the engagement of institutions and authorities in the process of book production, bringing to the fore the role of networks in this process; show the book as a tool of resistance to the Protestant Reformation; give insight into the content and design of book collections; showcase textual production in the context of cultural appropriation and shed light on the role of the image in the propagation of Catholicism. Together the sixteen contributions demonstrate the diversity of the Catholic book in its forms and functions, in various social and national contexts.

The Caricaturist
A young artist meets Stephen Crane as America’s hunger for empire draws them both into war Oliver Fischer, a self-styled bohemian, boardwalk caricaturist, and student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, enrages his banker father and earns the contempt of Philadelphia’s foremost realist painter Thomas Eakins when he attempts to stage Manet’s scandalous painting The Luncheon on the Grass. Soon after, he is ensnarled, along with Mark Twain and Andrew Carnegie, in a clash between the Anti-Imperialist League and their expansionist foes. Sent to Key West to sketch the 1898 American invasion of Cuba, in company with war correspondent Stephen Crane, he realizes––in the flash of a naval bombardment––that our lives are suspended by a thread between radiance and annihilation. The Caricaturist, the penultimate, stand-alone book in The American Novels series, is a tragicomic portrait of America struggling to honor its most-cherished ideals at the dawn of the twentieth century.
Fra Tardo Antico e Medioevo Un santuario della via Francigena: Sant’Eusebio di Ronciglione
Il santuario rurale di Sant’Eusebio, sito nei pressi di Ronciglione, costituisce un vetusto e prezioso palinsesto architettonico dell’Alto Lazio avente valore paradigmatico sotto l’aspetto storico-artistico oltre che religioso in seno ai percorsi della fede. Le testimonianze archeologiche, artistiche e devozionali custodite al suo interno ne attestano la lunga esistenza che affonda le radici nel Tardo Antico e ne fanno un bene di rilevante valore culturale oltre che religioso. Il volume contiene un’articolata sintesi dello studio storico-architettonico svolto dall’autrice, rivelatosi impegnativo per le numerose alterazioni arrecate nei secoli all’intero organismo del complesso cu...

L'Università di Roma "La Sapienza" e le Università italiane
Questo libro tratta della storia delle sedi delle università italiane, fabbriche pensate come cenacolo culturale e strumento della comunicazione della conoscenza, che trova le sue radici prevalentemente nella cultura europea medievale di matrice cristiana. Il tema è stato quindi pensato come apertura verso l'intera realtà universitaria italiana, indagata entro un quadro temporale che va dal Medioevo fino al XVIII secolo. I contributi degli studiosi di Torino, Milano, Pavia, Padova, Genova, Bologna, Pistoia, Pisa, Siena, Perugia, Fermo, Roma, Palermo e Catania, offrono un contributo al rinnovato interesse degli storici per l'edilizia universitaria, che più in generale forse potrà essere ...
