Renaissance Scepticisms
Even if specific pieces of research (on the sources or on individual authors, such as Pico, Agrippa, Erasmus, Montaigne, Sanches etc.) have given and are still producing significant results on Renaissance scepticism, an overall synthesis comprising the entire period has not been achieved yet. No predetermined idea of that complex historical subject that is Renaissance scepticism underlies this book, and we want to sacrifice the complexity of movements, personalities, tendencies and interpretations to any sort of a priori unity of theme even less. We acknowledge unhesitatingly that we had always thought of “scepticisms” in the plural, and believe that the different contexts (philosophical...

As cores de cada história
O livro “As cores de cada história” tem treze narrativas da trajetória de professores. Elas são apresentadas de forma breve, sem recontar a história para não impedir que os leitores, com suas próprias experiências, possam dar sentido e sentir cada uma. Este livro é como uma pipa que construímos, que, mesmo usando a mesma cola, a mesma linha, os mesmos papéis, se difere e voa diferente porque é atravessada pela nossa identidade, o nosso modo de ser e de ver. As experiências singulares trazidas em cada narrativa, perpassadas pelas cores de cada autor ou autora é um ritual de comunhão que abre nossas mentes e nossos corações. Venha “avuá” conosco
Profetas e Místicos em Terra Brasileira
Este livro consta de treze textos sobre figuras representativas das igrejas no Brasil, além de um ensaio histórico.

Em comum, as histórias de busca e construção de caminhos de liberdade em meio a um contexto de desigualdade, violência e até mesmo perseguição, enfrentadas com determinação e consciência social, à luz do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo.
Discourse on the State of the Jews
In 1638, a small book of no more than 92 pages in octavo was published “appresso Gioanne Calleoni” under the title “Discourse on the State of the Jews and in particular those dwelling in the illustrious city of Venice.” It was dedicated to the Doge of Venice and his counsellors, who are labelled “lovers of Truth.” The author of the book was a certain Simone (Simḥa) Luzzatto, a native of Venice, where he lived and died, serving as rabbi for over fifty years during the course of the seventeenth century. Luzzatto’s political thesis is simple and, at the same time, temerarious, if not revolutionary: Venice can put an end to its political decline, he argues, by offering the Jews a...

Strong on Music
In Strong on Music Vera Brodsky Lawrence uses the diaries of lawyer and music lover George Templeton Strong as a jumping-off point from which to explore every aspect of New York City's musical life in the mid-nineteenth century. This third and final volume ranges across opera, orchestral and chamber music, blackface minstrels, military bands, church choirs, and even concert saloons. Among the many striking scenes vividly portrayed in Repercussions are the rapturous reception of Verdi's Ballo in maschera in 1861; the impact of the Civil War on New York's music scene, from theaters closing as their musicians enlisted to the performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at every possible occasion; ...
