In 1610, with della Porta inscribed as a Lynx but Galileo not yet a member, Stelluti wrote a gossipy letter to his brother about the furor generated by Sidereus nuncius and the dubious claims of the pamphlet's author: I believe that by now you must have seen Galileo, he of the Sidereus nuncius. . . .

About the Digital Collection: History of Fathom Technical Information Home Browse the Archive ... Search by Keyword A Quixotic Museum: Cervantes and Italian Renaissance Art by Frederick A. de Armas uring the last months of 1569, the 22-year-old Cervantes travels to Italy and enters the service of the soon-to-be Cardinal, Giulio Acquaviva in Rome. Cervantes came to Italy after studying in Madrid with the Spanish humanist Juan Lspez de Hoyos and after writing his first verse compositions, which imitated Garcilaso, using his metrical forms, adjectives and themes. Cervantes' brief humanistic training, and his interest in Garcilaso, who was deeply influenced by the Italian Renaissance, prepares him for an Italian sojourn. It was a Rome teeming with ruins, which impelled humanists and artists of the Renaissance to turn to archeological pursuits, to focus their attention on rediscovering antiquity, finding in the ancients "a powerful impetus to revive the contemporary world in light of its accomplishments." It should come as no surprise, then, that throughout his literary works, Cervantes repeatedly represents a desire for Italy. This desire often takes the form of evocations and descriptions of the art and architecture of the Italian peninsula. In many cases, these moments carry a second, deeper and more concealed aspiration, that of recapturing the ancient world. This desire for Italy is inscribed even in the last text written by Cervantes. In the fourth and last book of the

ITALIAN PEOPLE IN HISTORY Search the Site Home Page An Introduction by Fabrisia Pagan/Witch/Wiccan FAQ's History of Stregheria ... Email me! I decided it would be beneficial to put forth some information on some of the Italians in 'witchcraft' history. A good deal of these people lived during the time of the Holy Inquisition and the 'Malleus Maleficarum'. The 'Malleus Maleficarum' was a guide on how to torture accused witches into confessing to whatever they were accused of. The effects of the Inquisition (which lasted over 250 years) have been felt thru the years. So let's take a quick look at the time period of the Inquisition and those who were accused. The Inquisition was first founded in 1232. During the Inquisition, few, if any, real, verifiable, witches were ever discovered or tried. Often the very accusation was enough to see one branded a witch, tried by the Inquisitors' Court, and burned alive at the stake. Estimates of the death toll during the Inquisition worldwide range from 600,000 to as high as 9,000,000; this is a chilling number when one realizes that nearly all of the accused were women. Those accused were: outcasts, midwives, poets, handicapped, gypsies, herb gatherers, widows and spinsters. Women who had no man to supervise them were of course highly suspicious. Anyone who did not fit within the contemporary view of pieous Christians were suspect, and easily branded 'Witch'. The crime of Witchcraft was not the only crime of which one could be accused during the Inquisition. By questioning any part of Catholic belief, one could be branded a 'heretic'. Scientists were branded heretics by virtue of repudiating certain tenets of Christian belief. Writers who challenged the Church were arrested for heresy. Anyone who questioned the validity of any part of Catholic belief did so at their own risk.

74. Intro giambattista della porta’s comedy La Trappolaria (an adaption of Plautus’ Pseudolus)was first printed at Bergamo in 1596, with subsequent editions issued http://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/trappolaria/intro.html

INTRODUCTION Giambattista Della Porta’s comedy La Trappolaria (an adaption of Plautus’ Pseudolus ) was first printed at Bergamo in 1596, with subsequent editions issued at Vinegia (1597), Naples (1613) Ferrara (1615), and Venice (1626 and 1628). It is included in Gennaro Muzio’s Della commedie di Giovanbattista de la Porta Napolitano (Naples, 1726), but not in Vincenzo Spampanato’s incomplete edition of the comedies, Giambattista Della Porta. Lei commedie (Bari, 1910 - 11). In connection with a hypertext critical edition of the 1615 Cambridge comedy I gnoramus by George Ruggle , adapted from La Trappolaria , it is necessary to make readily available the text of the Italian original. I therefore take this opportunity to present a transcription of La Trappolaria as printed in Muzio’s 1726 edition. The reader interested in Della Porta and his comedies is referred to Louise George Clubb, Giambattista Della Porta, Dramatist (Princeton, 1965). La Trappolaria is discussed on pp. 185 - 194.

76. Art, Optics And History: New Light On The Hockney Thesis giambattista della porta, Magiae Naturalis, 1589 (2nd edition) Book XVII, Chapter 6 della porta, giambattista, 1558, Magiae naturalis, sive de miraculis http://shl.stanford.edu/Eyes/hockney/

Art, Optics and History New Light on the Hockney Thesis Michael John Gorman Program in Science, Technology and Society, Stanford University mgorman@stanford.edu Draft – Revised April 26, 2002 According to Hockney’s chronology, around the end of the sixteenth century, painters began to use refractive lenses instead of concave mirrors to project their tracing images. Unlike concave mirrors, convex refractive lenses have the property of reversing left and right, in addition to inverting the image. Hockney points to a sudden increase in the number of left-handed drinkers in paintings executed after the last decade of the 1590s as conspicuous evidence of the shift from mirror to lens, citing paintings by Caravaggio as marking the point of transition from reflection to refraction (convex lenses, unlike concave mirrors, switch left and right) (Hockney, 2001, p. 118) Visual evidence is essential to Hockney’s argument. Playfully, his book is prefaced by a “forged” quotation from art historian Roberto Longhi: “Paintings are primary documents. Archival documents can be faked; critical judgements, not”. Perhaps unsurprisingly, not all of Hockney’s revelations have embraced enthusiastically by the scholarly community. At the colloquium organized by Lawrence Weschler at the New York Humanities Center in December, a number of vociferous critics attacked Hockney’s thesis. Art historians noted that Hockney did not give adequate credit to the significant corpus of previous scholarly work on the use of optical devices including the camera obscura by artists. However, perhaps the most scathing criticisms came not from the historians but from two optical scientists invited to the colloquium, David Stork of Stanford University and Christopher W. Tyler of the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (Stork, 2002; Tyler, 2002)

Natural Magic Susan Derges Artist Susan Derges has been conducting research towards new work at the Museum of the History of Science at the University of Oxford. Natural Magic is the outcome of Derges's year-long residency in Oxford. The residency is part of the millennium celebrations for Year of the Artist. Year of the Artist began on 1 June 2000 and is the largest and most ambitious arts project ever mounted in England with over 1000 artists working in 1000 places nationally. It seeks to raise the status and profile of living artists and give them opportunities to take their work in new directions. Born in 1955, Susan Derges has established an international reputation with one-person exhibitions in London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo. Characteristically, her practice has involved cameraless, lens-based, digital and reinvented photographic processes, and encompasses subject matter informed by the physical and biological sciences as well as landscape and abstraction. Her art comprises an ongoing enquiry into the relationship of the self to the observed. Elemental science Celia Joicey Our eyes are only glass windows; we see with our imagination

BRECHT AND THE HISTORICAL GALILEO By William Eamon New Mexico State University The conflict between Galileo and the Church took place within a densely charged political atmosphere. The new science threatened both the Church’s traditional role as aribter of doctrinal truth and its position as a great European power. What were the political issues at stake in the debate over Copernicanism? We can approach this question from two directions, asking (a) what political interests did the Church have vested in the traditional worldview; and (b) what interests did the Galileans stake in Copernican worldview. Given the profoundly human dimension of this conflict, we should also ask: what were Galileo’s choices? The first question, the Church’s political investment in the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic cosmology, is about Counter-Reformation politics. In the century-and-a-half prior to Galileo’s trial, Italy and the Church suffered a succession of severe setbacks. The French invasion left Italy in a state of political wreckage and set the stage for a poisonous rivalry between the Holy Roman Emperor, the Papacy, and the King of France. At the same time, the Church faced dissension within its own ranks. When the sixteenth century opened, scarcely anyone in Europe doubted the need for reform of the Church. Most called for a reform from within, but Luther, that Papal Bull-burning German, crossed the Rubicon. Breaking completely with the church, he split Christendom into two belligerent blocs, and added a vicious ideological element to the Cold War of the sixteenth century.
