The relationship between literature and religion is a crucial element in the definition of every cultural system. Literary traditions developed in such close connection with religious thought, symbolism, institutions and practices, that our understanding of both literary and religious expressions of an age necessarily depends on our consideration of their interconnectedness. This is particularly true for such a controversial age as the European Renaissance: a period that witnessed the rise of national states and the great Catholic-Protestant schism; a rediscovery of classical antiquity and a new approach to the biblical text; the flourishing of literature and art and strong politico-religious censorship; a definite advancement in philosophical, scientific and political thought, and a profound redefinition of the relationships and boundaries between the sacred and profane. By taking into account different literary and cultural systems, and being open to a plurality of approaches, this volume explores the relationship between literature and religion in a period crucial to the development of European cultural identity, offering both innovative readings of world-famous works and a (re)discovery of less familiar texts.

Written by an international group of highly regarded scholars and rooted in the field of intermedial approaches to literary studies, this volume explores the complex aesthetic process of "picturing" in early modern English literature. The essays in this volume offer a comprehensive and varied picture of the relationship between visual and verbal in the early modern period, while also contributing to the understanding of the literary context in which Shakespeare wrote. Using different methodological approaches and taking into account a great variety of texts, including Elizabethan sonnet sequences, metaphysical poetry, famous as well as anonymous plays, and court masques, the book opens new perspectives on the literary modes of "picturing" and on the relationship between this creative act and the tense artistic, religious and political background of early modern Europe. The first section explores different modes of looking at works of art and their relation with technological innovations and religious controversies, while the chapters in the second part highlight the multifaceted connections between European visual arts and English literary production. The third section explores the functions performed by portraits on the page and the stage, delving into the complex question of the relationship between visual and verbal representation. Finally, the chapters in the fourth section re-appraise early modern reflections on the relationship between word and image and on their respective power in light of early-seventeenth-century visual culture, with particular reference to the masque genre.

This volume aims at providing a comprehensive view of the performative as well as heuristic potentialities of the theatrical paradox in early modern plays. We are interested in discussing the functions and uses of paradoxes in early modern English drama by investigating how classical paradoxes were received and mediated in the Renaissance and by considering authors’ and playing companies’ purposes in choosing to explore the questions broached by such paradoxes. The book is articulated into three sections: the first, “Paradoxes of the Real”, is devoted to a theoretical investigation of the dramatic uses of paradoxes; the second, “Staging Mock Encomia” looks at the multiple dramatic functions of mock encomia and at the specific situations in which paradoxical praises were inserted in early modern plays; finally, the essays in “Paradoxical Dialogues” examine the connections between a number of early modern mock encomia and ancient or contemporary models.

Venedig und seine Handelsniederlassungen („Fondaci“) in Ägypten und in der Levante stellten bedeutende Kontaktzonen interkultureller Begegnungs- und Transferprozesse dar, in denen nicht nur Waren ausgetauscht wurden, sondern auch Informationen über religiöse und politische Grenzen hinweg zirkulierten. Als „go-betweens“ leisteten die an diesen „Fondaci“ tätigen Ärzte („medici di condotta“) einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den Begegnungsprozessen zwischen Europa und der islamischen Welt. Aufgrund ihrer vielfältigen Interessen sind die Druckwerke, Tagebücher und Briefe der „medici di condotta“ wertvolle Quellen, die sowohl den Wissenszuwachs in der Frühen Neuzeit eindrücklich vor Augen führen als auch christlich-muslimische Kulturkontakte in einer Zeit des Wandels dokumentieren.

Le “storie di libri” qui raccolte in memoria di Alessandro Daneloni approfondiscono aspetti inediti di singole tradizioni testuali latine e neolatine e vicende finora poco indagate di libri manoscritti e a stampa. L’approccio filologico dei contributi, mai slegato dalle sue ricadute sul piano storico-culturale, mira a mettere in luce la centralità del libro come manufatto e ‘medium’ culturale dall’Antichità all’Umanesimo. Con saggi su Valerio Catullo, Aulo Gellio, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Dondi dall’Orologio, Bartolomeo Sachella, Lorenzo Lippi, Angelo Poliziano, Pier Vettori, Tilman Rasche, Conrad Celtis e Nostradamus.
