Abstract: This article analyzes the main practices of cultural preservation in Brazil, specially those that concern the Western civilization, consecrated by the association of forms and principles of the baroque and the modern artistic production. This association is based on the notion of universality of the brazilian art and culture, shared by modernists such as Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Lucio Costa, functionaries of theServico do Patrimonio Historico e Artistico Nacional.

Abstract: This study examines the purported influence of the art of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio on Jacques-Louis David’s role in the development of French Neoclassical painting. Scholars of eighteenth-century French art have suggested a correlation between each artist’s heightened naturalism, simplified compositions and careful modeling of forms. David’s artistic training, during a period of reform in the French Academy, included an extended period of study in Italy with an emphasis on antiquity as well as Renaissance and Baroque Masters. Although Caravaggio held a precarious place among the artistic models advocated by the French Academy, there is evidence that many French students, including David, observed and copied his works in Rome. This study establishes a context for understanding the impact of Caravaggio in eighteenth-century French theory, academic practice, and public art consumption through a survey of correspondence from within the French Academy, theoretical texts relevant to academic practice, and Grand Tour literature. By examining the changing nature of the caravaggesque from David’s work as a pensionnaire through his history paintings of the 1780s, this paper demonstrates the extent to which David may have incorporated qualities of Caravaggio’s art into his development of Neoclassicism in French painting.

Abstract: Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor (1590-1650?) published two collections of novellas, Novelas amorosas y exemplares (1637) and Desenganos amorosos (1647), which were immensely popular in her day. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Victorian and bourgeois sensibilities exiled her \"scandalous\" works to the outer fringes of serious literature. Over the last two decades, however, she has gained an enthusiastic and ever-expanding readership, drawing intense critical attention and achieving canonical status as a major figure of the Spanish Golden Age. In this first comprehensive study of Zayas's prose, Margaret R. Greer explores the relationship between narration and desire, analyzing both the \"desire for readers\" displayed by Zayas in her Prologue and the sexual desire that drives the telling within the novellas themselves. Greer examines Zayas's narrative strategies through the twin lenses of feminist and psychoanalytic theory. She devotes close attention to the weight of Renaissance literary traditions and the role of Zayas's own cultural context in shaping her work. She discusses Zayas's biography and the reception of her publications; her advocacy of women's rights; her conflictive loyalty to an aristocratic, patriarchal order; her crafting of feminine tales of desire; and her erasure of the frontiers between the natural and supernatural, indeed, between love and death itself. In so doing, Greer offers an expansive analysis of this recently rediscovered Golden Age writer.

Abstract: Architectural Forms and Philosophical Structures examines architectural and architectonic forms as products of philosophical and epistemological structures in selected cultures and time periods, and analyzes architecture as a text of its culture. Relations between architectural forms and philosophical structures are explored in Western civilization, beginning in Egypt and Greece and culminating in twentieth-century Europe and America. Architecture, like all forms of artistic expression, is interwoven with the beliefs and the structures of knowledge of its culture.

Abstract: Abstract This is the first book to consider all aspects of the life of Agostino Steffani (1654-1728), a composer, diplomat, and bishop. A remarkable figure of the late 17th and early 18th century Europe, Steffani began his career as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and the Catholic Church. Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiatical career, Steffani continued to compose chamber music, vocal chamber music, operas, and sacred music--works which inspired Handel and other Baroque composers.

Abstract: So far, no building entirely planned by the Granada-boro architect Asensio de Maedo, was known to have reached our times. In this paper, we study the church ofthe "Hospital de la Misericordia" in Seville, designed by him and built between 1595 and 1606. Its outstanding typology was a model taken from the Roman basilicas and followed by other architects in numerous churches of the Andalusian baroque period. We have been able to do this study thanks to the unpublished documents belonging to its rich archives.

Abstract: Composer, diplomat, bishop: Agostino Steffani (1654-1728) was one of the most remarkable figures in late-17th and early-18th century Europe. Steffani began his life as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and in the Catholic Church. This book is the first to discuss all the periods and facets of Agostino Steffani's extraordinary career and to examine his entire output of musical works.

Abstract: This work introduces a new interpretation of the work of Borromini and of architecture in general in its analysis of the relation between architectural forms and philosophical structures, often literally translated in Borromini's work through philosophical diagrams and symbols circulating in 17th century Rome in texts by writers such as Nicolas Cusanus and Athanasius Kircher.

Abstract: In this detailed study of Catholic practices and an emerging \"Baroque\" Catholic identity in the Austrian territories in the southwest of the Old Reich, Marc Forster takes the current debates over the \"confessionalization\" model as a starting point for his analysis, but goes well beyond that model in both substantive and theoretical terms. Building on his earlier important monograph on the diocese of Speyer, Forster seeks to capture the interplay between Catholic spirituality as it was experienced in Swabia, and the changing but flexible agendas of post-Tridentine church officials, including Rome, the Bishop of Constance, the abbots of the important imperial abbeys in the region, and Austrian government officials. His central conclusion — that local practices consistent with late medieval Catholic tradition provided the foundation for an emerging Baroque Catholic identity and spirituality — is not intended simply to illustrate another \"failure\" of confessionalization (as other scholars such as H. R. Schmidt and C. S. Dixon have argued), but rather encourages us to set the important role of state and church intervention in Catholic life after the Reformation in broader perspective. Forster acknowledges the importance of Tridentine reform, state-building and social discipline for shaping religious developments in this region after 1550, but insists that we see them as merely part of a larger story in which community action and tradition play an equal or larger role.

Abstract: This article offers an approximation to the life and work of Pedro de Raxis, a key artist in Counter Reformation Granada. Raxis was the nephew of the sculptor Pablo de Rojas, who was also the master of Juan Martinez Montanes. All three were from Alcala de Henares and pioneers in the stylistic transition from the Roman Renaissance to early Baroque naturalism. Raxis also established an extremely active studio, precursor in the formation of famous artists, and during his lifetime was considered to be the "father" of the estofa technique (the sizing, gilding and painting of wooden statuary), although his facet as a painter was underestimated.

Abstract: espanolAlgunos criticos, ante la publicacion por Quevedo de los versos de fray Luis de Leon (1631), han creido que aquel quiso proponer como imitable la poetica clasicista del agustino. Ello no fue asi. Don Francisco no define con precision la poetica luisiana ni la gongorina, ni monta su discurso apologetico sobre una probatio seria. Era consciente de que sus contemporaneos no podian poetizar desde los parametros del maestro Leon. Su edicion debe entenderse como parte de la polemica anticulterana. En pleno siglo barroco, la de fray Luis era ya una poetica imposible. Quevedo presenta los versos de aquel como paradigma de autenticidad estetica, no como objeto de una fiel imitatio en lo tematico y formal. EnglishSome critics, when looking at Quevedo’s publication of the verses from fray Luis de Leon (1631), believed that Quevedo wanted to propose fray Luis’ classicist poetic as imitable. But, that idea is not correct. Don Francisco does not accurately define the poetic from fray Luis and Gongora, and neither does he make a laudable discourse about a serious probatio. Quevedo was concious about that his contemporaries could not make poetry form the Maestro Leon’s parameters. His edition must be viewed as part of the anti-culteranist controversy. In the baroque century, fray Luis’ poetic was already impossible. Quevedo does present fray Luis’ verses as a paradigm of aesthetics authenticity, not as the object of a faithful imitatio in theme and form.

Abstract: About half of the experiments recorded in this manuscript deal with the preparation of medicines, either from herbal or mineral compounds. His experiments, as Vaughan himself continually emphasizes, could not have been conducted without the help of his wife. Indeed, Dickson argues that Rebecca worked along side her husband until her untimely death in 1658 (perhaps at twenty-five years of age). As evidence of her contributions, Dickson cites several entries in the Aqua Vitae that use the first person or third person plural to indicate that both partners were involved in various discoveries and proofs. Even after she died, Vaughan continued to use both their initials when he signed his entries. His personal entries, especially the anecdotes and dreams, reveal a deep and abiding love and respect for Rebecca, and he continued to rely on her even after her death. Indeed, he named a discovery after her, Aqua Rebecca. She was his "idealized muse," his "spiritual lover," "who teaches him the sublime mysteries of eternal versus earthly love" (xxxi). At the same time that the Vaughans were conducting practical experiments, their vocabulary often revealed the traditional alchemists' esoteric language. The manuscript is full of references to the aquila or eagle (the volatile principle or sal ammoniac), aquafortis or "strong water" (mainly nitric acid), aqua vitae (concentrated alcohol, often distilled wine), "dragons," (symbolizing "the volatile and fixed principles [mercury and sulphur]," 253), sophic mercury (describing the universal agent of transmutation) and the urine of Saturn (an ammonium salt), just to name a few. In this edition, Dickson provides a thorough glossary of all the terms, clearly explaining their derivation and use. From the combination of the older alchemical language and the nature of the experiments recorded, Dickson concludes that Vaughan's "notebook Aqua vitae stands Janus-like in this transitional age: with its codes and exotic language, it hearkens backwards to traditions of esoteric secrecy; with its attempts at precision, it looks forward to modern laboratory practice" (xlix). Dickson's edition places the Latin (sometimes also seventeenth-century English) text and English translation on facing pages, which presents the reader with a clear and readable text. Dickson is careful to provide readers with an accurate manuscript, complete with Vaughan's own corrections (indicated in the translation by emboldened text), spellings, capitalization, marginalia, and so on. The result is an important contribution to the study of one of the most significant periods in the development of modern science. CHARLES W. CLARK The State University of West Georgia

Abstract: This work proposes a contemporary re-reading of some of the Tradiciones by the Peruvian writer Ricardo Palma. In the texts chosen, textual marks and mechanisms are identified as revealing the survival of the colonial baroque cosmic vision in a republican writing significantly connected to the refoundation of nationality. Finally, some of the stylistic coincidences with contemporary neobaroque are brought into focus.

Abstract: When Roberto Calasso's retelling of the myths of Ancient Greece, Le nozze di Cadmo e Armon?a,1 was first reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement, it was as a work of modern Italian fiction. As such, it left the re viewer in a state of some perplexity: "We read on unsure of whether the primary purpose of the book is a truth-telling one or an aesthetic one. Are we listening to someone ex pounding what he believes to be the "truth" about Greek civilization ... or are we listening to something ... that uses mythology for its own gorgeous, and . . . baroque effects?"2 Dick Davis considered a series of potential models for Ca lasso's work from Monteverdi to Mario Praz, but was ulti mately unable to come to terms with Calasso's attempt to produce both "a work of exegesis and an aesthetic adven ture.'^ Four years later, Calasso's work found itself once again within the review pages of the Times Literary Supplement, this time translated into English as The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony A In its new form, it was now reviewed, not as Italian fiction, but as a work of classical mythography. Mary Beard did not share Davis' anxieties about the relationship between truth-telling and aesthetics. 5 For her, as for other classicist reviewers,6 it was natural to place Calasso in the long tradition of writers, starting with Homer and Hesiod, who used myth both to entertain and to instruct. In this way, Calasso could be understood quite naturally as "Greek myth in a late twentieth-century guise, Greek myth for a modern imagination. "7

Abstract: Upon termination of the Sacrarium of Seville Cathedral, there was a plan to construct a large tabernacle at its head, for which various projects and materials were considered. In 1662, the selected design by the architect Sebastian de Ruesta was executed only temporarily in conjunction with the magnificent celebrations organized for the inauguration of the temple, including sculptures probably by Francisco Dionisio de Ribas. The unsatisfactory outcome of this ephemeral construction resulted in the decision not to build the definitive tabernacle, which would have been the first in Andalucian Baroque style. Although the designs for the project have not survived, it is nevertheless possible to reconstruct them hypothetically, based on descriptions of the work. The superintendent and canon of the temple, Alonso Ramirez de Arellano, played an essential role in the planning of this tabernacle. It is also interesting to consider the interpretation of the structure given by its architect as that of a building inside another.

Abstract: human beings. Of the three, Chrysostom alone saw the achievement of the change love effects as being achieved as a society only at the end of time (139). Augustine and Luther, who read Augustine, seem less concerned with society and eschatology and more with the development of individuals within society (133, 145). The volume will be of interest to historians of Christian rhetoric and homiletics as well as preachers who wish to measure their own work against and profit from the work of grand masters of the past.

Abstract: This study concerns itself with the origins of the opera as an art form in the german language in the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was in Hamburg where the first german permanent theater opened its doors in 1678. This opera was called "Gansemarktoper ". The theater was performing successfully for 60 years (1678-1738), while all the other operatic projects undertaken before in Germany by territorial princes or music-loving bourgeois ended up in failure. This theater where 250 works were represented in the vernacular language and where the vast majority of the librettists and composers were local can be considered to be the first " national opera " and the final achievement of the musical and literary style of baroque. The artists here laid down the foundations of an original dramaturgic opera repertoire and also tried to define a specific german aesthetic opera, which was emancipated from french dramaturgic rules and at the same time also from italian melodramatic repertoire.

Abstract: Thanks to the pioneering scholarly work done in the past decades, the baroque flowering in French literature and arts has been recognized as a major event and an important contribution to the aesthetic landscape of early modern culture. In the recently published issue of Litteratures classiques, “Le Baroque en question(s),” the editor Didier Souiller states with good reason that the relationship between the baroque and classicism has changed ... baroque aesthetics were still in full bloom during the reign of the Sun King. He adds that today we can better appreciate the works of Moliere and La Fontaine, “le plus grand poete du siecle, qui n’est plus enferme dans l’image reductrice d’auteur des seules Fables.”1
