Ancient bacterial genomes reveal a high diversity of Treponema pallidum Strains in early Modern Europe
2020
Syphilis is a globally re-emerging disease, which has marked European history with a devastating epidemic at the end of the 15th century. Together with non-venereal treponemal diseases, like bejel and yaws, which are found today in subtropical and tropical regions, it currently poses a substantial health threat worldwide. The origins and spread of treponemal diseases remain unresolved, including syphilis’ potential introduction into Europe from the Americas. Here, we present the first genetic data from archaeological human remains reflecting a high diversity of Treponema pallidum in early modern Europe. Our study demonstrates that a variety of strains related to both venereal syphilis and y…
Ancient bacterial genomes reveal a formerly unknown diversity ofTreponema pallidumstrains in early modern Europe
2020
SummarySexually transmitted (venereal) syphilis marked European history with a devastating epidemic at the end of the 15thcentury, and is currently re-emerging globally. Together with non-venereal treponemal diseases, like bejel and yaws, found in subtropical and tropical regions, it poses a prevailing health threat worldwide. The origins and spread of treponemal diseases remain unresolved, including syphilis’ potential introduction into Europe from the Americas. Here, we present the first genetic data from archaeological human remains reflecting a previously unknown diversity ofTreponema pallidumin historical Europe. Our study demonstrates that a variety of strains related to both venereal…

Sacred Music Production and Circulation in Sixteenth-Century Palermo: The Inventories of Giovanni Santoro (1550) and Luis Ruiz (1595)
2016
L'importanza degli inventari per lo studio della vita musicale a Palermo è stata riconosciuta soltanto di recente. Nonostante la natura frammentaria dei dati, questi documenti forniscono informazioni di rilievo sulle edizioni musicali, sugli strumenti, sulla cultura materiale che li produceva, nonché sulla circolazione della musica. Considerata la mancanza di testimoni musicali siciliani tra Cinque e Settecento, tale importanza appare ancor più evidente. Difatti, gli inventari palermitani testimoniano la presenza di libri di musica non più esistenti, in particolare musica a stampa, ma anche manoscritti e libri liturgici. L'articolo si sofferma su due inventari del Cinquecento. Il primo è l'…
Le mouvement des idées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne
2014
Ce chapitre vise à fournir une vue de l'évolution des idées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne. Il s'alimente notamment des textes des auteurs du présent livre pour en dégager quelques leçons. Dans un premier temps, il discutera du sens du substantif " mercantilisme " tel qu'il a été construit depuis le milieu du dix-huitième siècle : examiner les fondements historiques de cette notion permettra d'en montrer les impasses. Il présentera, dans un second temps, une catégorisation des auteurs construite à partir de leur rapport au pouvoir.
Introduction. Les pensées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne : contexte et intentions
2014
Ce texte introduit le livre et présente ses objectifs et sa structure. Ce livre traite du déploiement des idées monétaires dans le monde européen de l'époque moderne, depuis les écrits de Nicolas Copernic (1517) jusqu'à la veille de la publication de l'ouvrage économique majeur écrit par Adam Smith (1776) . Il met l'accent sur le contexte historique dans le cadre duquel ces idées monétaires ont vu le jour. Il montre la grande variété des contextes et des idées bien au-delà des espaces, des auteurs et des thèmes généralement étudiés, en intégrant des territoires peu étudiés par les économistes, en mettant au jour des approches et des auteurs oubliés, en tentant, enfin, de restituer la riches…
Citizenship: participation and exclusion in early modern Europe
2011
PurposeThe purpose of this article is to discuss the most recent results of the historiographical works on the subject “how to become a citizen” within the European continent in the early modern period (sixteenth‐nineteenth centuries).Design/methodology/approachThe idea that citizenship status could not mark the difference between natives and immigrants on a geographical basis, as natives were entitled to it at various stages as well, stands out from the presentation of some case studies (the Republic of Venice, the Papal State, the Reign of Naples, France, Spain and Britain).FindingsIn many contexts, citizenship was rather the political recognition of social and economic integration of som…

Debating Sound Money in Early Modern Europe: From Dualist to Metallic Monetary Systems
2019
International audience; In this paper, we present the monetary debates in Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries from the viewpoint of the problem of good and sound money. The framework of the paper is built on a typology of monetary systems, by which a dualist system is distinguished from a metallic one. Under the dualist system, the value in units of account of the specie in circulation was defined by monetary proclamations (Einaudi locates this era from Charlemagne to the French Revolution). Metallist proponents aimed at preventing any kind of manipulations with a radical transformation of the system of payment, which gave birth to a metallic monetary system from the very end of …
