Questo volume offre la più ampia raccolta di bestiari tardoantichi e medievali che sia stata finora pubblicata. I lettori, per la prima volta, avranno a disposizione tutto il corpus fondamentale dei bestiari, in versi e in prosa, con il testo originale a fronte (greco, etiopico, latino, francese, occitano, anglosassone, islandese, tedesco e russo), nuove traduzioni e ricchi apparati (introduzioni, note, bibliografie).Si tratta di testi sorprendenti e affascinanti, che costituiscono una imprescindibile fonte di informazioni per lo studio di qualsiasi aspetto (religioso, storico, letterario, artistico) della cultura medievale. Nato ad Alessandria d’Egitto probabilmente nel II secolo d. C. con il Fisiologo greco (il cui testo fu via via modificato, ampliato e rielaborato in numerosissime versioni in varie lingue), questo genere descrive la “natura” (le caratteristiche) dell’animale e, nello stesso tempo, elabora interpretazioni allegoriche fondate su temi e figure della dottrina cristiana.Partendo dal principio che «il mondo è un simbolo» (come suggerisce il grande storico dell’arte medievale Emile Mâle), i bestiari hanno il loro fondamento teologico nell’idea secondo cui tutte le realtà materiali sono immagini o specchi delle realtà spirituali e divine. Il volume è reso ancora più prezioso da un inserto iconografico a colori che raccoglie una settantina di miniature tratte da diversi manoscritti: una straordinaria testimonianza del valore artistico di queste splendide illustrazioni.

In recent decades, European historiography has actively dealt with the history of the body, thus giving depth and awareness to powerful stimuli coming from the dominant culture in the affluent society. Therefore, object of research has been not only the 'beautiful' body, but also the body of the common man, mutilated, deformed and imperfect. Through surveys in legal-regulatory, registry, iconographic, literary sources and in medical and physiognomic treatises and thanks to the participation of some of the major international specialists in the field, the volume intends to investigate these issues especially in the geographical, cultural and documentary context of Italy in the late Middle Ages and the early modern age, which has so far remained on the margins of this line of studies.

Non-human primates (hereafter just primates) play a special role in human societies, especially in regions where modern humans and primates co-exist. Primates feature in myths and legends and in traditional indigenous knowledge. Explorers observed them in the wild and brought them, at great cost, to Europe. There they were valued as pets and for display, their images featured in art and architecture, and where they were literally teased apart by scientists. The international team of contributors to this book draws these different perspectives together to show how primates helped humans better understand their own place in nature. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students as well scholars in disciplines ranging from anthropology to art history. Key features: Includes contributions from an international team of historians and natural scientists Integrates various perspectives and perceptions of non-human primates across time and place Summarizes the place of non-human primates in science, art and culture Includes rare early illustrations

Questo libro segue la traccia lasciata da Marta di Betania che, nella tradizione evangelica, accoglie nella sua casa un ospite inatteso e straordinario. Marta non è solo colei che rassetta in cucina; Marta è il simbolo della vita attiva e a Marta quell’ospite rivela cose mai dette a nessuno. Come Teresa Batista, che accompagna i capitoli del libro, Marta è donna di amori e di guerre, di fedi e di scelte dove la donna del Medioevo celebra Dio e la propria personalità. Essere Marta vuol dire essere dentro le cose, esserne vittima oppure ordinatrice, caritatevole o vendicativa, ma significa anche essere colei che accoglie: l’impegno personale, le aspirazioni, il misurarsi con i molti disagi e con il rischio dei sentimenti. Il Medioevo non lascia molte alternative al grafico sociale della donna chiusa in ruoli subalterni o soltanto familiari. Invece esistono comportamenti femminili che eludono questa geografia e prendono la scena. Si tratta di vere protagoniste, donne famose, anonime o dimenticate, personaggi che letteratura, storiografia e poesia raccontano tra colori, voci e silenzi. Nell’immagine di copertina Vermeer dipinge Marta che offre il pane: è una donna che rappresenta, oltre il tempo, la vita attiva; è una donna che agisce, nutre, prega e s’impegna. Tutte le donne della storia sono modi di essere Marta e reggono il mondo. Nell’universo sociale così mutevole e difettivo la vita attiva si esprime nell’amore, ma anche nelle guerre, nelle rivalità per il potere, nella gestione della carità e delle accoglienze, nelle devozioni e nei tradimenti. La vita febbrile e la facile morte: sono le due estremità di un segmento di esistenze dove regine, devote e assassine, affiancano le solitudini drammatiche di principesse emarginate, e le donne virtuose e sapienti, monache o laiche, non si meravigliano ai licenziosi abbandoni di chi segue l’illusione di sentirsi diversa per non essere inquieta. Marta opera in un teatro di scene incessanti dove si muovono indimenticabili fisionomie di un modo d’essere donna nel Medioevo.

In early modern Europe precious and semiprecious stones were valued not only for their beauty and rarity but also for their medical and magical properties. Lorenzo de’ Medici, Philip II of Spain, and Popes Leo X and Clement VII were all treated with expensive potions incorporating ground gems such as rubies, diamonds, and emeralds. Medical and magical/astrological lapidaries, texts describing the stones’ occult and medical qualities as well as their abilities to ward off demons and incantations, were essential resources for their use. First published in Venice in 1502, Camillo Leonardi’s Speculum Lapidum is an encyclopedic summary of all classical and medieval sources of lithotherapy. In describing the natural, manifest, and occult properties of precious and semiprecious stones as well as their graven images and applications, the Speculum Lapidum provides tremendous insight into the role that medical astrology and astral magic played in the life of an Italian court in the early modern period. Liliana Leopardi’s English translation, complete with critical apparatuses, gives unprecedented access to this key text within the magical lapidary genre. A vital addition to the existing canon of lapidaria in translation, Leopardi’s work will be of special importance for students and scholars of the history of magic, medicine, religion, and Renaissance humanism, and it will fascinate anyone interested in the occult properties of precious and semiprecious stones.

Il bosco nella sua dimensione economica, sociale, giuridica, è stato già oggetto di studio di numerose pubblicazioni. Questo volume si concentra invece sulla sua valenza sacrale e religiosa nella lunga durata che va dalla tarda antichità al medioevo. Luogo di confine in cui gli uomini si perdono o si ritrovano, paesaggio affollato di creature spaventose, di eremiti e briganti, spazio in cui l’uomo convive con gli animali e con le piante, il bosco è anche momento di incontro tra uomo, naturale e sovrannaturale, ambiente in cui l’umano incontra il divino nelle sue più varie manifestazioni. Questo sistema di relazioni, già esistente nei boschi sacri dell’antichità, permane ancora per il periodo in esame? O, piuttosto, siamo in presenza di uno spazio desacralizzato in cui gli esseri che lo abitano vivono secondo le leggi della natura, sovvertite solo temporaneamente dall’irruzione del miracoloso? Il libro cerca di rispondere a queste e ad altre domande, interrogando le fonti storiche, la tradizione iconografica e archeologica, la fortuna letteraria e la dimensione filosofica attraverso concreti e verificabili casi di studio.

Ethics, Politics and Justice in Dante presents new research by international scholars on the themes of ethics, politics and justice in the works of Dante Alighieri, including chapters on Dante’s modern ‘afterlife’. Together the chapters explore how Dante’s writings engage with the contemporary culture of medieval Florence and Italy, and how and why his political and moral thought still speaks compellingly to modern readers. The collection’s contributors range across different disciplines and scholarly traditions – history, philology, classical reception, philosophy, theology – to scrutinise Dante’s Divine Comedy and his other works in Italian and Latin, offering a multi-faceted approach to the evolution of Dante’s political, ethical and legal thought throughout his writing career. Certain chapters focus on his early philosophical Convivio and on the accomplished Latin Eclogues of his final years, while others tackle knotty themes relating to judgement, justice, rhetoric and literary ethics in his Divine Comedy, from hell to paradise. The closing chapters discuss different modalities of the public reception and use of Dante’s work in both Italy and Britain, bringing the volume’s emphasis on morality, political philosophy, and social justice into the modern age of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.
