Simon Ditchfield
University of York (U.K.)

Sponsored jointly by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, the Toronto Renaissance and Reformation Colloquium (TRRC), and the Department of History

Location: Emmanuel College, Room 001

“Even as Rome was reinventing itself as a capital of this planet’s first world religion, the city’s sacred aspects were being particularised and owned by ROMAN Catholics as never before. This process centred on an unprecedented investigation of the material and archival remains from the city’s early Christian Past. From the publication of Baronio’s new edition of the “Roman Martyrolgy” of 1586 to the posthumous appearance of Antonio Bosio’s lavishly illustrated “Roma Sotterranea” in 1635, devout Romans and Pilgrims visiting the city were provided with new perspectives which effectively redrew and redefined the city’s sacred space so that for them, as for the eponymous hero of Wagner’s music drama, “Parsifal”, ‘Time here becomes space’.”

“Vives: Philologus-Pædagogus”
Charles Fantazzi
CRRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar

Location: Alumni Hall, Victoria College, (91 Charles St. W.)
Information: 416-585-4468

Abstract: Towards the end of his life Vives produced a number of important works, among them the De anima et vita, the De disciplinis and the Exercitationes linguae latinae, while also revising previously published works for publication. He was favored in this enterprise by an association of publishers in Basel who saw him as the successor of Erasmus. These works secured his fame until the end of the 16th century, after which his memory fell into relative oblivion for two centuries, save for a short pious work, the Introductio ad sapientiam and the Exercitationes, which never declined in popularity. At the beginning of the 19th century his monumental De disciplinis was rediscovered by German writers on pedagogy and empirical psychology. They considered him a precursor of modern educational theories, but this is a very limited view of Vives’ contribution to learning. He was much more than a pedagogue, and his De disciplinis is not simply a treatise on the art of teaching but a comprehensive critical and systematic review of universal learning and of the state of the academic disciplines of his time. He used his philological skills as a young man to compose entertaining lectures in the form of dialogues and dramatic presentations for the purposes of pedagogy. I should like to examine the works of those early years in their relation to the larger theoretical opus that he would write later on.

17 March, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
“Castiglione’s ‘Il libro del Cortegiano‘: A Classic in the Making”Olga Pugliese
Department of Italian Studies, University of Toronto
A lecture sponsored by the Toronto Renaissance and Reformation Colloquium (TRRC) and the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (CRRS)
Location: Senior Common Room, Victoria College
Tea & coffee from 4:00 p.m.; the talk will begin at 4:15 p.m
Information: 416-585-4468

Abstract: The extant manuscripts of Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier (1528), the majority of which remain unpublished, make it possible to trace how this classic of Western literature developed through various redactions over the fifteen years or more that the author devoted to composing and revising it. In addition to the well-known major changes, including the later stress on the political role of the courtier and on the theory of Neoplatonic love, other less obvious modifications emerge from a careful sifting of the variants. This talk will describe the difficulties and methods involved in such a philological analysis and will focus both on the evolution of certain key themes, like humour and women (with an indication of some of the expurgated passages of The Courtier), and on the development of the structure of this exemplar of dialogic writing in the Renaissance.
18 March, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
“The ars combinatoria of Angelo Poliziano”
Charles Fantazzi CRRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar

Location: Victoria College Chapel, Old Vic
Information: 416-585-4468

Abstract: It was once customary in studies of the poetry of Poliziano to imagine an artificial dichotomy between his youthful poetry in the vernacular and his more philologically based Latin poetry, especially the Silvae, poetic prolusions to his lectures at the University of Florence, where he was awarded the chair of poetry and rhetoric in 1480. More recent criticism has refuted this view with archival documentation which shows that he wrote many of the vernacular rispetti later. While it is true that he wrote more in Latin after his appointment as professor, he continued to write poetry in Tuscan during the 80’s and 90’s. One Italian scholar is of the opinion that he continued to elaborate the Stanze per la giostra in three separate phases from 1479 until his death in 1494. There is a continuous interplay of poetic invention and philological learning between the two languages. Poliziano is always the quintessential scholar-poet, whether in the seemingly spontaneous verse of his youth or the more recondite Alexandrian poetry of his later years. We will examine excerpts from his vernacular and Latin verse, with a few examples also from his Greek epigrams, to illustrate Poliziano’s distinctive poetic credo of docta varietas.

“Tried by Print: Strafford and Laud in England’s ‘Sad Theater’”
Speaker: Prof. Elizabeth Sauer, Brock University
Location: Northrop Frye Room 205
Sponsors: Early Modern Studies Seminar (Department of English); Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies; Toronto Renaissance and Reformation Colloquium.
Information: See the EMSS home page.

Abstract: The courtrooms dramas examined in this paper feature Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, and William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, who encounter each other on the political stage (and scaffold) and on the page. But these dramas also involve a host of other performers: writers, printers, and readers who arraign the royalists in print and set the stage for great tragedy of Charles. As the theatre is transferred to the marketplace of print, readers and consumers of texts are cast as players and audiences, judges and juries. Writers in turn register a heightened awareness of the interpretive community’s participation in the acts of judgement enabled by the wider availability of literary and political texts, news, and judicial proceedings. The parliamentary monopolization of print in 1640-41 — intended to create an imagined political consensus — gave way shortly thereafter to intense parliamentary politics and a new wave of petitions, paper-protestations, and communities of “competing advocates in the court of … public opinion.” Public relations and political communication now depended not only on the performance of print but its effective management.

15 April, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
“The Tremor of Forgery”
Speaker: Prof. Christopher S. Wood, Yale University

Sponsors: The Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (CRRS) and the Graduate History of Art Students Association
Location: Emmanuel College, Room 001

Abstract: This paper is an interpretation of the tomb project of Emperor Maximilian (1459- 1519) in Innsbruck. The monument is unique: Maximilian imagined his body surrounded by a company of over-lifesize bronze statues of his ancestors. Twenty-eight of these colossal figures were actually cast. In the tomb project Max’s genealogical and archeological pursuits converged. The emperor was perpetually in search of material evidence to help concretize his dynastic and historical claims. When he could not find evidence he created it. The Innsbruck statues are best understood as fabricated evidence proposing a mimetic-magical recovery of the ancestors. The paper points, however, to an emerging fault-line between the truth-telling ambitions of the ancestor-statues and a sculptural rhetoric of the real. In particular, the introduction of an experiential temporality into the documentary portraits threatened to disclose their fundamental fictionality and unreliability.

The fifteenth-century German Dominican friar Felix Fabri made two pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and left a vivid record of his travels through central Europe, and around the eastern Mediterranean to Jerusalem. He also described musical performances and liturgies which he heard in such centres as Trent, Venice, and Cyprus, as well as the Middle East, and the simpler music performed by his fellow pilgrims. Sine Nomine presents some of the richly varied repertoire which Brother Felix might have heard on his travels, along with excerpts from his fascinating account of his journeys.
