Niccolò de’ Conti in India : visioni filtrate di culture orientali nel Quattrocento romano
2020
Nel 1447-1448 uscì una delle opere più ampie e più importanti di Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), allora segretario apostolico alla curia di Niccolò V, il De varietate fortunae1. Oltre ad un trattamento spesso polemico della storia recente nei libri II e III, l’opera presenta una descrizione, documentata con citazione di iscrizioni, delle rovine di Roma all’inizio del libro I e un resoconto dei viaggi di Niccolò de’ Conti, Nicolaus Venetus, nell’Oriente, corredato da ulteriori informazioni sull’Africa, nel libro IV. La narrazione dei viaggi di Conti si contraddistingue per la sua sobrietà e l’assenza quasi totale del ‘meraviglioso’; si tratta tuttavia dell’elaborazione a cura di Poggio di in…

Desiderius Erasmus Rotterdamilaisen käsitys klassisen latinan ääntämisestä
2007
Desiderius Erasmus Rotterdamilainen (1469-1536) oli renessanssin humanisti, jolla oli laaja kirjallinen tuotanto. Koulutukseltaan hän oli teologian tohtori. Hänen äidinkielensä oli hollanti, mutta hän laati kaikki teoksensa latinaksi. Hän julkaisi vuonna 1528 Baselissa dialogin latinan ja kreikan kielten ääntämisestä, De recta Latini Graecique sermonis pronuntiatione dialogus (DRP), josta otettiin ilmestymisensä jälkeen useita painoksia eri puolilla Eurooppaa 1700-luvun alkuun asti. Erasmuksen aikaan latina oli Euroopan oppineiden yhteinen kirkon, tieteen ja diplomatian kieli. Puhuttu latina kukoisti klerikaaliyhteisöissä, mutta klassisten esikuvien ihannointi oli jo levinnyt Euroopassa laa…
The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…

"Iam nouus in terras alto descendit Olympo Iuppiter” : Patronage and propaganda in the time of Leo X (1513–1521)
2022
Giovanni de’ Medici (1475–1521), son of Lorenzo il Magnifico, was destined to a brilliant ecclesiastical career that eventually led him to the Holy See as pope Leo X (1513–1521). His reign, marked by wars and the emergence of protestantism, was also a period of intense artistic activity in Rome, with Raphael, Michelangelo, Sangallo as well as a plethora of humanist authors engaged in celebrating Leo’s feats. This article explores Leo’s patronage and propaganda, in particular through an analysis of one of the numerous poems dedicated to him by Giano Vitale Castalio of Naples (Ianus Vitalis Castalius, c. 1485–c. 1560) at the beginning of his pontificate. peerReviewed
“Optime educatus” : Book historical perspectives on Prince Sigismund’s education in sixteenth-century Sweden
2022
The article analyses some aspects of writing in Prince Sigismund Vasa’s (1566-1632) education in the latter half of sixteenth-century Sweden. The focus is on the rare, hand-written material of his youth, which reflects the educational ideals, practices and strategies in the inter-confessional Jagiellon–Vasa family and at their court(s) in the context of a complex political situation. One example is young Sigismund’s salutation to the Pope included in her mother’s, Catherine Jagiellon’s (1526-1583), letter. In addition, two letters held at the Riksarkivet (Swedish National Archives), Stockholm, categorized as “royal autographs” are explored and transcribed for the first time. peerReviewed
