The Richard B. Witschonke Collection of more than 3,700 coins, now in the collection of the American Numismatic Society, provides the historical and numismatic prologue to the study of Roman provincial coinage. Most of the specimens are of great historical and numismatic value, as explained in the historical introductions preceding each of the 36 sections of this catalogue. This collection offers a unique overview of the diverse ways in which the monetary systems of the Mediterranean basin responded to the Roman conquest in the second and early first centuries BCE and to the related necessity of interconnectivity.

Dieses Buch lenkt den Fokus auf die Rolle vormoderner Karten als potenzielle Stimmen, die Überzeugungen und Handlungsaufforderungen vermittelten. Es stellt ein neues Konzept zur Analyse vormoderner Karte vor und setzt es am Beispiel der sogenannten ‘Genuesischen Weltkarte‘ von 1457 um, einer anonymen, dem nordmediterranen Raum entstammenden Karte, von der weder der genaue Erstellungsort noch der unmittelbare Nutzungskontext bekannt sind. Im ausgehenden Mittelalter beschäftigten sich verschiedenartige Kreise intensiv mit geographischen und kartographischen Fragen. Zusätzlich zu den Zeugnissen gelehrter Mönche und Kleriker wird nun das Interesse von weltlichen Gelehrten, Fürsten, Notaren, Händlern, Seefahrern und humanistischen Zirkeln an Karten greifbarer. Angeregt wurde dieses Interesse durch das Anwachsen des Wissens über die Welt. Lateineuropäische Reisende und Gesandte aus fernen Ländern berichteten über ihre Erfahrungen aus Asien und Afrika. Frühe Humanisten fanden Handschriften fast vergessener antiker Werke wieder, so dass sich der Blick auf das Autoritätenwissen änderte. Insbesondere die spätestens 1409 fertiggestellte lateinische Übersetzung der ‚Geographia‘ des Alexandriner Astronomen Klaudios Ptolemaios machte Furore und wird in der Forschung als Anstoß einschneidender Veränderungen der Kartographie gesehen.

Der Abgleich der ‘Genuesischen Weltkarte‘ mit Karten aus über 130 Archivsignaturen zeigt, dass sie sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht von den üblichen Karten des 14./15. Jahrhunderts der nordmediterranen Region abhebt. Ihre Kartenmacher waren keine konventionellen Ersteller von Küstenlinienkarten oder Serienkarten. Vielmehr waren sie humanistisch interessiert, mathematisch gebildet und entstammten wahrscheinlich dem Umfeld der Kurie und des Konzils von Ferrara-Florenz (1438-1445). Es greift zu kurz, ihre innovative Anlehnung an Ptolemaios als Verengung des Fokus rein auf topographische Genauigkeit zu deuten, vielmehr zeichneten sie ein raumzeitliches, als kohärente heilsgeschichtliche Erzählung zu verstehendes Bild der Welt.

Si les premières traces de ritualisation musicale (noces, banquets…) remontent au début du xiiie siècle avec les jongleurs, ce n’est vraiment qu’à partir du siècle suivant que les ménétriers ou joueurs d’instruments sont chargés de la représentation des pouvoirs et de l’animation de la vie sociale dans sa totalité (fêtes politiques et religieuses, de métiers, calendaires, votives, familiales, etc.) et qu’ils se regroupent en confréries ou corporations.
S’appuyant sur son « terrain » toulousain premier ainsi que sur le dépouillement systématique de deux siècles de littérature sur les ménétriers des provinces françaises et sur la collaboration de certains chercheurs en régions, l’auteur propose une nouvelle réflexion d’ampleur sur le personnage historique du ménétrier (plus de trois mille musiciens recensés), son genre, son statut social (poids de la marginalité musicienne des aveugles, mendiants, concurrence des musiciens occasionnels comme les maîtres d’école), sa fonction, sa pratique et ses formes d’organisation.
Cette étude d’anthropologie musicale historique est doublée d’une approche territoriale, cette géographie ménétrière étant abordée au niveau des provinces, des villes (notamment des quarante ayant abrité des corporations et confréries ménétrières), des villages et de l’organisation administrative de ce vaste espace de la Ménestrandise (royauté et lieutenances ménétrières). Par ailleurs, cette histoire sensible de l’art des ménétriers est aussi celle de leur rapport aux musiques dites « savantes », d’église, aux cultures musicales autres, comme celle des Bohémiens.
À l’aide de nombreuses archives, de tableaux, cartes, documents iconographiques, cet ouvrage dépeint la grande fresque d’une musique historique encore méconnue, malgré sa longévité et sa centralité sociale et sociétale, celle des ménestrels et joueurs d’instruments.

This book fills a significant gap in the literature on eighteenth-century art in Britain. Although immigrant Italian artists played a crucial role in the development of Britain’s expanding art world over the course of that century, they have been largely overlooked in books on both British and Italian art. When mentioned in works on eighteenth-century British art, Italian artists are regarded as bit players who were tangential to the art world. Ingenious Italians seeks to correct this view, demonstrating the critical role played by immigrants who brought their skills and talents to a new country. In Britain, they established networks of Italian and British colleagues, cultivated new patrons and created innovative works for a growing market. In doing so, they influenced the development of art in British society. This little-explored facet of art history in Britain presents readers with a new perspective from which to consider the art of the era, highlighting the important work contributed by Italian artists in Britain. The book also contains an appendix of biographical information on the Italian artists working in Britain throughout the eighteenth century.

Innovation and Persuasion at the Intersection of Artistic and Architectural Practice
By Livia Lupi

Why did artists include prominent architectural settings in their narrative paintings? Why did they labour over specific, highly innovative structural solutions? Why did they endeavour to design original ornamental motifs which brought together sculptural, painterly and architectural approaches, as well as showcasing their understanding of materiality? Painting Architecture in Early Renaissance Italy addresses these questions in order to shed light on the early exchanges between artistic and architectural practice in Italy, arguing that architecture in painting provided a unique platform for architectural experimentation.

Rather than interpreting architectural settings as purely spatial devices and as lesser counterparts of their built cognates, this book emphasises their intrinsic value as designs as well as communicative tools, contending that the architectural imagination of artists was instrumental in redefining the status of architectural forms as a kind of cultural currency. Exploring the nexus between innovation and persuasion, Livia Lupi highlights an early form of little-discussed paragone between painting and architecture which relied on a shared understanding of architectural invention as a symbol of prestige.

This approach offers a precious insight into how architectural forms were perceived and deployed, be they two or three-dimensional, at the same time clarifying the intersection of architecture and the figural arts in the work of later, influential figures like Giuliano da Sangallo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Baldassarre Peruzzi, whose work would not have been possible without the architectural experimentation of early fifteenth-century artists.

The work of the fifteenth-century Italian painter Pisanello has long proven resistant the interpretative procedures of art history, in ways that point to the limits of those procedures as they evolved in the period after the Second World War. Taking Pisanello’s art as an example of a larger theoretical issue, the book proposes a model of interpretation that addresses the realm of imitative practice. Using Cennino Cennini’s 𝘐𝘭 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘭’ 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘦 as a primer, the author argues for an approach that confronts the evidence of the artist’s self-tempering work, and then tests that model through an examination of Pisanello’s drawings and medals. She exposes the drawings as primary evidence of the ontological groundwork within which the painter finds his own habits of invention, and also demonstrates the value of looking for the groundwork in a selection of Pisanello’s official works, including the surviving wall paintings in Veronese churches. In the end, the author contends that the self-reflexive recognition of creative agency is a prerequisite for the apprehension of Pisanello’s art, especially the agonistic scenario staged in his panel of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘺 and its enigmatic signature.

Epidemics, pandemics, contagion, immunity, social distance, zoonosis are just a few of the concepts that have become commonplace in the academic community and in everyday conversation since the outbreak of the Covid-19. This book aims to provide the reader with a philosophical guide to this conceptual vocabulary by investigating the meanings, implications, and history of words related to the current emergency of Covid-19.

This book addresses the fundamental anthropological, ethical, and political issues that have come under the spotlight of the public debate (life and death, freedom and authority, fear and protection, poverty and access to medical care). In this context, particular attention is given to the conflict between the scientific discourse on the one hand, and irrational bias, misinformation and fake news on the other.

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is only the latest episode in a long history of pandemics and epidemics that have constellated human history since its very beginning. Authoritative accounts have made some of these contagious plagues famous (Thucydides’ pages immortalizing the Athenian epidemic of the 5th century B.C.; Boccaccio’s description of the Black Death; Manzoni’s depiction of the Plague ravaging 17th-century Milan). Because a full understanding of the present is not possible without historical inquiry, several contributions in the book explore debates about calamitous phenomena as documented in philosophical literature from Antiquity to 20th-century philosophy.

Inscrire l’art médiéval
Objets, textes, images
Vincent Debiais

Info: https://bit.ly/4cp0mZB

Ce livre est consacré aux relations entre écriture épigraphique et art médiéval. Il se propose de placer les inscriptions tracées sur la pierre, le métal, le bois, la peinture ou la mosaïque dans le contexte des pratiques écrites et artistiques du Moyen Âge occidental, et de signaler quelques pistes de recherche originales pour appréhender le statut, la forme et la fonction de la rencontre entre l’écriture épigraphique et les oeuvres d’art médiévales.

Cet essai se situe à la confluence de l’histoire de l’écriture et de l’histoire des formes. Il est fondé sur l’analyse d’un certain nombre d’objets graphiques du Moyen Âge central produits en Europe occidentale. Il s’inscrit donc dans une pensée chrétienne de l’écriture et de l’image, et accorde une place importante à la théologie. Il est moins pensé comme un manuel épigraphique à l’attention des historiens de l’art que comme un répertoire de questions à explorer, à repenser ou encore à traiter, et s’adresse à quiconque aspire à la réunion des cultures écrite, visuelle et matérielle du Moyen Âge.
