A Medieval Spanish Collectanea Of Astronomical Instruments: An Integrated Compilation, Anthony J. Cardenas
A Medieval Spanish Collectanea Of Astronomical Instruments: An Integrated Compilation, Anthony J. Cardenas
Quidditas
The fame of Alfonso X, il Sabio, 1221-1284, rests principally upon the voluminous literary production of his Royal Scriptorium. Many of the original Alfonsine codices survive today and can be found in the libraries of England, France, Italy, and, of course, Spain.
Machiavelli's The Prince: A Lexical Enigma, Jeane Luere
Machiavelli's The Prince: A Lexical Enigma, Jeane Luere
Quidditas
Italians today, especially Florentines, unreservedly venerate their native son, Niccolo Machiavelli, 16th century Italian political figure, along with Francesca Petrarcha, Dante Alighieri, and Michelangelo Buonarroti; they attach no stigma, no unfavorable connotation, to the adjective "Machiavellian," coined from the name so famous in literature and legend. An American abroad encounters this total veneration of Machiavelli with some bewilderment, for we are prone to attitudes like that of Thomas Babington Macaulay, who wrote, "We doubt whether any names in literary history be so generally odious as that of Machiavelli."
The Book Index: Plutarch's Moralia And John Donne, John Shawcross
The Book Index: Plutarch's Moralia And John Donne, John Shawcross
Quidditas
Thomas Carew's elegy on John Donne points up an important fact (and distinction); Donne little employed allusions to classical literature and learning such as authors like Edmund Spenser and John Milton did, much to the glee of teachers and the bane of students. But glosses on Donne's works also turn up relatively few contemporary or near-contemporary references to informational volumes, whether in English or in Latin. He knew Galileo's Siderus Nuncius, 1610, and he owned and used such works as Nicholas Harpsfield's Dialogi Sex contra Summi Pontificatus, Monasticae Vitae, Sanctorum, Sacrarum, Imaginum Oppugnatores, et pseudo-martyres, 1566, and …
Medieval And Renaissance Studies In The Rockies: The Evolution Of An Idea, Allen D. Breck
Medieval And Renaissance Studies In The Rockies: The Evolution Of An Idea, Allen D. Breck
Quidditas
For many years the most persistent lament in this part of the country was the absence of a proper forum for the sharing of scholarly study of one of the most significant periods of human history, that of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Annual meetings were generally at too great a distance for many of the members and failed to collect a sufficient number of Rocky Mountain people for conviviality and the sharing of knowledge and experiences. Some sort of organization was imperative.
Papers In Language And Literature Delivered At The 1979 Meeting Of The Association, John Boni
Papers In Language And Literature Delivered At The 1979 Meeting Of The Association, John Boni
Quidditas
The papers in language and literature covered, as might be expected, a broad range of interests: from Beowulf to Paradise Lost, from paleography to cultural change. The following is an attempt too summarize the content of each paper, staying as close as possible to the author's pattern of argument, and following the author's own words, directly or by paraphrase; the order here follows that of the program. Where only an abstract was available as a source of summary, this has been noted.
A Note On The Date Of The Expositio Super Regulam Of Hugh Of Digne, Delno C. West
A Note On The Date Of The Expositio Super Regulam Of Hugh Of Digne, Delno C. West
Quidditas
A challenging issue for medieval Franciscan history is how and why the Rule of St. Francis was modified so shortly after the founder's death in 1126. One of the earliest and most important expositions of the Rule was written sometime in the middle of the thirteenth century by the southern French Joachite-Franciscan and scholar, Hugh of Digne. It is remarkable that Hugh's writings have been little studied, since the friar was a central figure in the development of Franciscan Joachimism and served as an inspirator of the Spiritual movement. The Spirituals read his treatises with great respect and admiration. To …
"A Growing Or Full Constant Light": A Reading Of Donne's "A Lecture Upon The Shadow", Diane Elizabeth Dreher
"A Growing Or Full Constant Light": A Reading Of Donne's "A Lecture Upon The Shadow", Diane Elizabeth Dreher
Quidditas
John Donne's "A Lecture Upon the Shadow" has given rise to extensive critical commentary, most of it devoted to the shadow imagery in the poem. However, no one, to date, has proposed a satisfactory explanation for the shadow's shift in meaning from the realm of natural phenomena to that of conjecture and imagination. Pierre Legouis has concluded that "the similitude does not hold good ... it is imperfect." Yet an acceptable explanation is possible and the similitude does hold good when the poem is considered in terms of its dominant structural pattern, the Bonaventuran meditation. In keeping with meditative practice, …
The "Resurrection" Of Frederick Ii Of Hohenstaufen, James K. Otte
The "Resurrection" Of Frederick Ii Of Hohenstaufen, James K. Otte
Quidditas
Those who visit Goslar, jewel of the Salian and Hohenstaufen emperors, will be introduced to one of the most beautiful and best preserved romanesque Pfalzen, which served the medieval emperors as regional residences. The stately throne hall received its present decor in the years 1879-97, when Herman Wislicenus created a series of huge murals depicting great events in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The most romantic and prophetic of these paintings portrays Frederick Barbarossa. It is a visual expression of a popular medieval legend that envisioned the return of Kaiser Rotbart.
The Use Of Thierry Of Chartres' Hexameron By Anonymi De Elementis And Robert Grosseteste, Richard C. Dales
The Use Of Thierry Of Chartres' Hexameron By Anonymi De Elementis And Robert Grosseteste, Richard C. Dales
Quidditas
The twelfth century in the intellectual history of western Europe was a time of great creativity and freedom and a time during which the rate of acquisition of exotic material was at a maximum. In spite of this, however, the sources of much twelfth-century scientific writing and the use of twelfth-century authors by later writers is little known. Although the editor of a twelfth-century text can sometimes point to the specific source of his author, more often he must simply indicate similar passages in other works or indicate the ultimate source (e.g., Aristotle or Plotinus), which could not possibly have …

Brigham Young's Philosophy Of History, H. Carleton Marlow
Brigham Young's Philosophy Of History, H. Carleton Marlow
Theses and Dissertations
"Brigham Young's Philosophy of History" attempts to describe how Brigham Young gave order and unity to the hubbub and confusion in which man lived. The laws which gave form and pattern to the baffling, diverse phenomena of and around man receive major attention. This thesis is an expository type of writing rather than an evaluation of Brigham Young's ideas and principles or laws in reference to other philosophies of history, Latter-day Saint theology, the modern natural exact sciences, or in reference to the current views of his times. This thesis is limited to a digestion of Brigham Young's works in …
