I drammi per musica di Giacomo Antonio Perti per il teatro della Villa medicea di Pratolino (1700-01; 1707-10)

L’attività nel teatro della Villa medicea di Pratolino, presso Firenze, giunse al culmine nel primo decennio del ’700, quando il principe Ferdinando de’ Medici commissionò e vi fece rappresentare, una per anno, opere in musica di Alessandro Scarlatti e di Giacomo Antonio Perti. Benché le partiture siano perdute, sopravvive un’ingente quantità di materiale documentario, in massima parte inedito, il quale dà un eccezionale resoconto sul mecenatismo del Principe e sul funzionamento della macchina teatrale. La dissertazione si concentra sulle sei opere poste in musica da Perti ("Lucio Vero", 1700, in collaborazione con Martino Bitti; "Astianatte", 1701; "Dionisio re di Portogallo", 1707; "Ginevra principessa di Scozia", 1708; "Berenice regina d’Egitto", 1709; "Rodelinda regina de’ Longobardi", 1710), sui rapporti del compositore col Principe, col librettista Antonio Salvi, col rivale Scarlatti, coi cantanti e con la corte medicea, sullo stile da lui perseguito e – per quanto è dato sapere o lecito ipotizzare – sulla fisionomia dei suoi lavori (strutture e risorse letterarie, teatrali e musicali).

Kopie der Kopie

In der Unterkirche San Rocco in Sansepolcro erhebt sich eine Kleinarchitektur, die laut Inschrift als Kopie des Jerusalemer Christusgrabes ausgewiesen ist. Statt sich an die architektonische Gestalt des nahöstlichen Originals anzulehnen orientiert sie sich jedoch an einer älteren Heiliggrabkopie, dem Heiliggrabtempietto von Leon Battista Alberti in San Pancrazio, Florenz. Der Aufsatz untersucht, auf welche Weise die „doppelte Kopie“ ihr Vorbild interpretiert und stellt Überlegungen zu Motivation, Bedeutung und Autorschaft der Heiliggrabkopie von Sansepolcro an.

Leonardo Bruni, the Medici, and the Florentine histories

Others, like the prominent humanist and anti-Medicean agitator Francesco Filelfo, would soon join the first wave of exiles.4 Bruni was not only linked to such men by ties of patronage and friendship; he had also for many years acted as the chief ideologue of the preMedicean oligarchy.5 One might logically expect that he too would become a victim of Medici vengeance in 1434, or soon thereafter. Other scholars have stressed that Bruni-despite the occasional flamboyance of his civic rhetoric-was always an advocate of restricted government.8 While the power struggle between the Medici and their adversaries was real enough, the system Cosimo and his associates introduced after 1434 differed from its predecessor only in the consistency with which it was applied.

Los "medici" en la epigrafía de la Hispania romana

[ES] La epigrafía latina nos permite conocer la existencia de veintiséis médicos en Hispania, los cuales llevaron a cabo su trabajo en diferentes ámbitos y especialidades. Gracias a la información de los textos de las inscripciones podemos estudiar cuestiones como el estatus socio-jurídico propio de los individuos dedicados a esta actividad, las posibles mejoras en el nivel económico de que pudieron ser objeto o los desplazamientos inherentes al ejercicio de la profesión. La mayor concentración de epígrafes en las antiguas Emerita Augusta y Gades nos hace pensar en estas ciudades como importantes centros médicos durante la época altoimperial en Hispania.

Medici del corpo contro terapeuti della parola: una riflessione su medicina e sofistica

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the connection between ancient medicine and sophistry at the end of 5th century B.C. Beginning with analyses of some passages from the De vetere medicina (VM), De natura hominis (NH) and De arte, the article identifies many similarities between these treatises, on the one hand, and the sophistic doctrines, on the other: these concern primarily perceptual/intellectual knowledge and the interaction between reality, knowledge and language. Among the Sophists, Gorgias was particularly followed and imitated, as he was admired not only for his tremendous rhetorical skills, but also for his philosophically significant work On not being, which probably influenced various discussions in the Hippocratic treatises. However, if Gorgias argues in favor of language as dynastēs megas, the authors of VM, NH and De arte consider knowledge to be far more relevant and reliable than logos. These Hippocratic treatises criticize the philosophical thesis and the resulting kind of reductionism. Above all they defend the supremacy of medicine over any other art. By using the same argumentative and rhetorical strategies that were employed by Gorgias, these treatises reverse the thought of those Sophists who exalted only the technē tōn logōn.
