Gottfried Semper (1803–1879) left behind a voluminous legacy of architectural-theory writings. The manner, in his works, in which he analysed architecture from a cultural-historical perspective as the key discipline in human artistry continues to exert a deep fascination up until today. The "London Writings" make available previously unpublished or little-known texts originating during Semper's exile in London (1850–1855) in a critical and commented edition, including in their original wordings. Swayed by his impressions of the first Great Exhibition of 1851 and as a lecturer at the Department of Practical Art, it was in London that Semper laid the foundations for his theoretical magnum opus "Der Stil" (Style, 1860/63). He counterpoised the phenomena of the globalised flow of merchandise and a globalisation of knowledge that he observed with his thoughts on the global development of architectural culture in all its manifold material, social and political conditions. The edition is the outcome of a joint SNSF research project between the Institute for History and Theory of Art and Architecture (ISA) at the Università della Svizzera italiana and the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta) at ETH Zurich.
From the 14th century to the first two decades of the 16th century, vast historical urban expansion took place in Emilia-Romagna, mainly due to offensives by lords and the reassertion of pontifical prerogatives. The aim of the paper is to analyze the evolution of the way history is told by chroniclers as well as their sensibilities. For this, we focused on seventy chronicles written in Rimini, Cesena, Forli, Bologna, Modena, Reggio-Emilia and Ferrara. First, the authors, the outline of the texts and their evolution are presented. Then the paper sheds light on the political stakes behind the original stories. Subsequently, the geographical location of the chroniclers is considered to analyze their points of view on their cities and, more widely, on the world. Images lead to other considerations: messages of the drawings inserted in the manuscripts, margin iconography, visual communication in the city, and icons of the power. Analysis of the descriptions of power holders gives an overview of the chroniclers' criticisms and praises. Finally we reveal how the city and the societies in transformation are evoked in the 15th and 16th centuries. ; L'Émilie-Romagne, entre offensives seigneuriales et réaffirmation des prérogatives pontificales, connaît une abondante production historique citadine du XIVe siècle aux deux premières décennies du XVIe siècle.

International audience ; Knyghthod and Bataile is an English adaptation in verse of Vegetius' De re militari, written in 1459-1460 by a priest from Calais, preserved today in three manuscripts. Composed in the very troubled period of the wars of Roses, the main particularity of this adaptation of Vegetius is its strong polemical dimension – for the Lancastrians and against the Yorkists. It must be replaced not only in the field of polemical production of the period (treatises, manifestos, poems…), but also in the vast literary field of the fifteenth-century, marked by an intense reflection on the common weal of the kingdom and on the poetical form of this reflection. In this context, how and why did the author decide to use a strong normative frame – the treatise of Vegetius – to express a polemic, although this polemic is shifting, insofar as two of the three manuscripts of Knyghthod and Bataile have belonged to Yorkists and do not include the critical passages ? ; Knyghthod and Bataile est une adaptation versifiée en anglais du De re militari de Végèce, composée en 1459-1460 par un prêtre de Calais (alors sous domination anglaise). Composée dans la période particulièrement troublée de la guerre civile, dite guerre des Roses, la principale particularité de cette adaptation de Végèce est sa forte dimension polémique – en faveur des Lancastriens et contre les Yorkistes – qui doit être replacée non seulement dans le champ de la production polémique de la période (traités, manifestes, poèmes…), mais aussi dans le plus large champ littéraire anglais du xve siècle, marqué par une intense réflexion à la fois sur le bon gouvernement du royaume et sur la forme poétique de cette réflexion. Mais cette dimension polémique apparaît gommée dans deux des trois manuscrits conservés, au profit d'une dimension réformatrice déjà très présente dans le texte original. Cet article s'emploie donc à comprendre l'articulation entre ces différentes facettes, dans le contexte général de la formation d'un langage politique en anglais durant cette période.

The fifteenth century defies consensus on fundamental issues; most scholars agree, however, that the period outgrew the Middle Ages, that it was a time of transition and a passage to modern times. 'Fifteenth-Century Studies' offers essays on diverse aspects of the period, including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine, and religion. Volume 37 includes articles on René d'Anjou and authorial doubling in the 'Livre du Coeur d'Amour épris'; tradition and innovation in popular German song poetry from Oswald von Wolkenstein to Georg Forster; the role of sacred images in Capgrave's 'Life of Saint Katherine'; milieu, John Strecche, and the Gawain-poet; Gaelic, Middle Scots, and the question of ethnicity in three Scottish flytings; William Caxton's translations of Aesop; the visualization of information in Conrad Buitzruss's compendium; and Gilles de Rais and his modern apologists. Book reviews conclude the volume. Contributors: Albrecht Classen, Nicholas Ealy, Richard Garrett, Rosanne Gasse, Janice McCoy, Jacqueline Murdock, Ben Parsons, Carolyn King Stephens, Elizabeth Wade-Sirabian. BARBARA I.

The fifteenth century defies consensus on fundamental issues; most scholars agree, however, that the period outgrew the Middle Ages, that it was a time of transition and a passage to modern times. 'Fifteenth-Century Studies' offers essays on diverse aspects of the period, including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine, and religion. Following the customary opening article on the current state of fifteenth-century drama research, essays treat such topics as poetry as a source for illustrated German prose, the St. Edith picture cycle in Salisbury, the flourishing of French history; and Spanish schools of translators. Other essays treat poems from the 'Gruuthuse' songbook; Louis XI and pilgrim's dress, Robert Henryson's 'Moral Fabilles,' violence in English romances, Jews' presence through absence in Vicente Ferrer's 'Sermons,' and Conrad Buitzruss's recipe collection in Manuscript Clm 671 (Munich). Book reviews conclude the volume. Contributors: Edelgard E. DuBruck, James H.

This article presents a reading of the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, a seventeenth-century Spanish bishop, as a manual for the formation of clerics and lay people, taking as its main axis the transmission (and emulation) of Greco-Roman culture in Visigothic Spain. Taking Isidore as an educator, we insert his work in the Visigothic context to understand how his manual presents contents of Greco-Roman culture as ideal and worthy of emulation, with special emphasis on government, history, the liberal arts, nature, man and society. The establishment and legitimacy of the kingdom would be connected with the method of reproducing the manuscripts of roman culture, actions that would reach a peak under the direction of the bishop Isidore of Seville: Royal counselor, administrator of monasteries and 'bishop schools', which would train man fit to be agents both of the royal and ecclesiastic powers. Being a major Church authority in the peninsula, he helped to consolidate the legitimacy of the Visigothic kingdom in the territory. The analysis of the best known work of the bishop of Seville reveals both the use of the classical roman culture in the recent 'barbarian' kingdom as the great value associated to it by these men, as well as exposes the mindset and conceptions about the world and the society of that context. ; Este artículo realiza una lectura de las Etimologías de Isidoro de Sevilla, obispo español del siglo VII, como un manual de formación de clérigos y laicos, tomando con eje principal de análisis la transmisión (y la emulación) de la cultura grecorromana en España Visigoda. Tomando Isidoro como un educador, insertamos su obra en el contexto visigodo para comprender de qué manera su manual presenta contenidos de la cultura grecorromana como ideales y dignos de ser emulados, con especial énfasis para el gobierno, la historia, las artes liberales, la naturaleza, el hombre y la sociedad. El establecimiento y legitimación del reino visigodo estarían conectados con el método de la reproducción de manuscritos de la cultura romana, acciones que alcanzaron un ápice bajo el mando del Obispo Isidoro de Sevilla: consejero real, administrador de los monasterios y 'escuelas de obispo', que crearían hombres aptos para ser agentes del poder regio y eclesiástico. Él fue la mayor autoridad de la Iglesia en la península, ayudando a consolidar la legitimidad del reino visigodo en el territorio. El análisis de la obra más conocida del obispo de Sevilla revela tanto la valoración como el uso de la cultura clásica romana en el naciente reino 'bárbaro', como expone la mentalidad y las concepciones de mundo y sociedad de aquel contexto. ; Este artigo realiza uma leitura das Etimologias de Isidoro de Sevilha, bispo espanhol do século VII, como um manual de formação de clérigos e leigos, tomando com eixo principal de análise a transmissão (e a emulação) da cultura greco-romana na Espanha Visigoda.

K.S. Malevich, Light and colour. We are giving below, published for the first time in the original language - Russian - three lectures of the founder of Suprematism addressed to the students of the "formal-theoretical section" of GINKHUK in Leningrad. The relevant manuscripts are preserved at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam. These philosophical texts enounce the problem of the authenticity (podlinnost1) of the couple "light-colour" culminating in the conclusion that neither the light of the sun nor the light of learning really exist and that colour is only a phenomenon of the "prism of culture". The texts formulate also the essential theological problem, the "question of God". Though because of adverse circumstances, Malevich expressed his conceptions in a somewhat disguised way, we find here a passionate quest for God, for "non— objective God". Malevich conceives a new figure of God, a new relation to divinity.
