"Like most chancellors of Florence in the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, Coluccio Salutati was born in the contado (as Florentine territory was then called) into a family of rather humble condition. This volume contains Salutati's De Tyranno, many of his state letters, Antonio Loschi's invective against the Florentines and Salutati's long reply to that invective, and Salutati's letter to Pietro Turchi"--Provided by publisher

Le nom du chanoine Charles-Aloyse Fontaine (1754-1834), devenu aujourd'hui presque immémoré, reste indissociablement attaché à l'histoire politique, religieuse et culturelle du canton de Fribourg. Ecclésiastique libéral, partisan et acteur de la révolution helvétique, dévoué administrateur de l'école du Père Girard, pionnier de l'historiographie fribourgeoise et premier contributeur des musées cantonaux, il dynamisa la vie de sa cité durant plus d'un demi-siècle. Sa correspondance, qui s'étend de 1782 à 1834, rend compte de son action réformatrice et de la plupart de ses travaux scientifiques. Classées dans six chapitres thématiques, les 160 lettres éditées dans ce volume relient le Fribourgeois à une quarantaine d'interlocuteurs originaires de Suisse, d'Allemagne, de France et d'Italie. La correspondance met en exergue à la fois les occupations éclectiques d'un savant universel et la vie domestique d'un riche bourgeois en quête de prestige social. Par les sujets abordés, elle offre un matériau exceptionnel pour réinterroger les interrelations entre Église, sciences et révolutions à la fin du siècle des Lumières.

The practice and composition of music require patronage and institutional support, and they require it in a different fashion from that found in other forms of art. This collection of essays brings together the most recent and important contributions by leading scholars in the field to this crucial aspect of Renaissance musical culture. The articles approach the topic from a number of perspectives and consider the institutions and individuals engaged in supporting music; the systems of employment, benefices and sponsorship put in place to facilitate the support; and where, how and why music was sung and played. Taken together, these articles enable conclusions to be drawn about the interests of patrons and about the social and artistic status of musicians and composers within the courtly and urban context. - Publisher

An exciting English-language edition which for the first time presents Thomas Hobbes's masterpiece Leviathan alongside two earlier works, The Elements of Law and De Cive. By arranging the three texts side by side, Baumgold offers readers an enhanced understanding of Hobbes's political theory and addresses an important need within Hobbes scholarship. The parallel presentation highlights substantive connections between the texts and makes it easy to trace the development of Hobbes's thinking. Readers can follow developments both at the 'micro' level of specific arguments and at the 'macro' level of the overall scope and organization of the theory. The volume also includes parallel presentations of Hobbes's chapter outlines, which serve as a key to the texts and are collected in a précis appendix

"It is well known that Thomas Hobbes wrote his political theory multiple times. 'This little MS. treatise [The Elements of Law: Natural & Politic] grew to be his Booke De Cive, and at last grew there to be the so formidable LEVIATHAN.' The first work circulated in manuscript in 1640; the second, Latin version was published in 1642 and in a second edition in 1647; Leviathan came out four years later, with a Latin edition following in 1668. In composing De Cive and Leviathan, Hobbes drew on the earlier text(s), re-using, expanding, re-organizing, and adding to material that had appeared previously"--

In the mid- to late-1930s, while he was a student at the Gregorian University in Rome, Bernard Lonergan wrote a series of eight essays on the philosophy and theology of history. These essays foreshadow a number of the major themes in his life's work. The significance of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the later trajectory of Lonergan's own work but also for the development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important entry from 1965 in his archival papers, Lonergan wrote that the "mediated object" of systematics is Geschichte or the history that is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the "doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to understand are focused on "redemption." The seeds of such a theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that are so pronounced in his later work first appear. Students of Lonergan's work will find their understanding of his philosophy profoundly affected by the essays in this volume
