Aninu
Author: Oliviero Arzuffi
Publisher: Oltre edizioni
ISBN: 8897264166
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Aninu è la storia di una prostituta sacra dell'isola vulcanica di Santorini prima della grande eruzione del XVII secolo a.C. che ha cancellato la civiltà minoica "nello spazio di un giorno e di una notte tremenda", come ci riferisce Platone nel Timeo riferendola alla mitica Atlantide. Le vicende narrate in questo romanzo, la cui protagonista, fondando una comunità ideale di vita chiamata Thera e facendosi tutt'una con la tragica fine della sua amata isola, si presentano come eventi fondativi della cultura occidentale. In Aninu, la descrizione dei luoghi, la rappresentazione dei costumi, la rievocazione delle credenze e dei miti delle popolazioni toccate dalle vicende narrate sono frutto di una meticolosa ricerca archeologica su ciò che sappiamo di questo misterioso popolo che vanta, come antenati, gli abitanti della più antica città del mondo, Çatal, nell'odierna Turchia, oggi dichiarata patrimonio dell'umanità, e come discendenti le mirabili popolazioni della Grecia classica. La storia di Aninu e della sua isola, unitamente alle vicissitudini degli altri protagonisti, offrono al lettore l'occasione per rivisitare, e in qualche modo per rivivere, gli aspetti meno conosciuti o ancora abitati dal mistero delle multiformi civiltà che si sono affacciate sul Mediterraneo, inesauribile mare delle meraviglie.

Apprenticeship, Work, Society in Early Modern Venice
Author: Anna Bellavitis
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100083932X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Apprenticeship in early modern Europe has been the subject of important research in the last decades, mostly by economic historians; but the majority of the research has dealt with cities or countries in Northern Europe. The organization, evolution and purpose of apprenticeship in Southern Europe are much less studied, especially for the early modern period. The research in this volume is based on a unique documentary source: more than 54,000 apprenticeship contracts registered from 1575 to 1772 by the "Old Justice", a civil court of the Republic of Venice in charge of guilds and labour disputes. An archival source of such scale provides a unique opportunity to historians, and this is the first time that primary research on apprenticeship is leveraging such a large amount of data in one of the main economic centres of early modern Europe. This book brings together multiple perspectives, including social history, economic history and art history, and is the outcome of an interdisciplinary collaboration between historians and computer scientists. Apprenticeship, Work, Society in Early Modern Venice will appeal to students and researchers alike interested in the nature of work and employment in Venice and Italy, as well as society in early modern Europe more generally.

Transformations of Late Antiquity
Author: Manolis Papoutsakis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351878085
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
This book focuses on a simple dynamic: the taking in hand of a heritage, the variety of changes induced within it, and the handing on of that legacy to new generations. Our contributors suggest, from different standpoints, that this dynamic represented the essence of 'late antiquity'. As Roman society, and the societies by which it was immediately bounded, continued to develop, through to the late sixth and early seventh centuries, the interplay between what needed to be treasured and what needed to be explored became increasingly self-conscious, versatile, and enriched. By the time formerly alien peoples had established their 'post-classical' polities, and Islam began to stir in the East, the novelties were more clearly seen, if not always welcomed; and one witnesses a stronger will to maintain the momentum of change, of a forward reach. At the same time, those in a position to play now the role of heirs were well able to appreciate how suited to their needs the 'Roman' past might be, but how, by taking it up in their turn, they were more securely defined and yet more creatively advantaged. 'Transformation' is a notion apposite to essays in honour of Peter Brown. 'The transformation of the classical heritage' is a theme to which he has devoted, and continues to devote, much energy. All the essays here in some way explore this notion of transformation; the late antique ability to turn the past to new uses, and to set its wealth of principle and insight to work in new settings. To begin, there is the very notion of what it meant to be 'Roman', and how that notion changed. Subsequent chapters suggest ways in which fundamental characteristics of Roman society were given new form, not least under the impact of a Christian polity. Augustine, naturally, finds his place; and here the emphasis is on the unfettered stance that he took in the face of more broadly held convictions - on miracles, for example, and the errors of the pagan past. The discussion then moves on to

Education in Early 2nd Millennium BC Babylonia
Author: Alexandra Kleinerman
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004214232
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This book examines a collection of twenty-two literary letters and related compositions – the Sumerian Epistolary Miscellany (SEpM) – studied as part of the Old Babylonian Sumerian scribal curriculum, in an attempt to better understand the education system at this time. The author includes discussion of the nature of the letters as scribal inventions, the pedagogical function of literary letters and compilation tablets, as well as the creation, implementation and consistency of the advanced Sumerian scribal curriculum. The volume also contains critical editions of SEpM as well as ancillary Sumerian letters studied in the Nippur schools, the majority of which were previously unpublished.

Patricians and Popolani
Author: Dennis Romano
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421431467
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Originally published in 1987. Since Machiavelli, historians and political theorists have sought the sources of the stability that earned for Venice the appellation La Serenissima, the Most Serene Republic. In Patricians and Popolani, Dennis Romano looks to the private lives of early Renaissance Venetians for an explanation. Fourteenth-century Venice escaped the tumultuous upheavals of the other Italian city-republics, Romano contends, because the patricians and common people of the city did not divide sharply along class or factional lines in their personal associations. Rather, Venetians of the era moved in a variety of intersecting social networks that were shaped and influenced by an overriding sense of civic community. Drawing on the private archives of Venice—notarial registers, collections of testaments, and records of estates maintained by the procurators of San Marco—Romano analyzes the primary social bonds in the lives of the city's inhabitants. In separate chapters, Patricians and Popolani examines the forms of association in everyday Venetian life: marriage and family structure; artisan workshops and relations among tradesmen; the role of the parish clergy and the "sacred networks" that formed around convents, hospitals, and confraternities; and neighborhood and patron–client ties. By the beginning of the fifteenth century, Romano argues, all these networks of association had been transformed as a new hierarchical spirit took hold and overwhelmed the older, more freewheeling tendencies of Venetian society. The old sense of community yielded to a new and equally compelling sense of place, and La Serenissima remained stable throughout the later Renaissance.
