Christoph Rothmann's Discourse on the Comet of 1585

An Edition and Translation with Accompanying Essays

By: Miguel A. Granada,Adam Mosley,Nicholas Jardine

Christoph Rothmann wrote a treatise on the comet of 1585 shortly after it disappeared. Though it was not printed until 1619, Rothman sent a copy of his treatise in 1586 to Tycho Brahe, decisively influencing the latter's rejection of solid celestial spheres two years later. In his treatise, Rothmann joined the elimination of the solid celestial spheres to his concept of air as the substance filling the cosmos. He based his argument on the absence of refraction and the celestial location of the comet. The treatise also contained clear statements reflecting Rothmann’s adoption of Copernicanism. This first critical edition of the treatise is accompanied by an English translation and a thorough commentary. Some appendices with archival documents illustrate the genesis of Rothmann’s treatise.

Alabanças de España: una traducción anónima e inédita del De preconiis Hispanie de Juan Gil de Zamora

By: COSTAS RODRÍGUEZ Jenaro ,PÉREZ ROSADO Miguel

Hacia 1278 el fraile franciscano Juan Gil de Zamora escribía la obra De preconiis Hispanie, que dedicaba al hijo de Alfonso X, el príncipe Sancho, más tarde rey Sancho IV. Se puede decir que la finalidad de la obra era la instrucción del príncipe, para lo cual trata una serie de temas que considera formativos y constituyen el contenido de la obra: los primeros pobladores de España, la fertilidad de sus tierras, las cualidades que deben tener los príncipes (largueza, fortaleza, fidelidad, paciencia, perseverancia), todo ello acompañado de exempla de hombres famosos de la Antigüedad, las figuras históricas, tanto políticas (emperadores hispanos) como literarias (poetas e historiadores) y religiosas (santos), la historia más reciente de España y una visión de la historia universal, resaltando siempre los aspectos moralizantes. Pese a su relación con la corte de Alfonso X, impulsor del uso del romance en obras históricas, Juan Gil utilizó el latín para su obra. Para paliar el escaso conocimiento de la lengua latina que había entre muchos miembros de la nobleza se hacían traducciones como la que presentamos aquí. El manuscrito de esta traducción, con el título de Alabanças de España, perteneció al marqués de Santillana, como indican algunas notas marginales, y es de suponer que era una ayuda para leer el De preconiis Hispanie de Juan Gil. Ha permanecido inédita hasta el presente, por lo que consideramos que su publicación es una excelente contribución para los estudiosos en general y especialmente para la historia de la lengua española.

Narrating Desire

Moral Consolation and Sentimental Fiction in Fifteenth-Century Spain

By: Sol Miguel-Prendes

Narrating Desire: Moral Consolation and Sentimental Fiction in Fifteenth-Century Spain proposes a new taxonomy and conceptual frame for the controversial Iberian genre of sentimental fiction. It traces its origin to late-medieval education in rhetoric, philosophy, and medicine as the foundation for virtuous living. In establishing the genre's boundaries and cultural underpinnings, Narrating Desire emphasizes the crucial link between Eastern and Western Iberian sentimental traditions, and offers close readings of a vast array of Catalan and Castilian fictions, translations, narrative poems, letters, and doctrinal treatises: the Catalan translations of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, Santillana's El sueno, Bernat Metge's Lo somni, Romeu Llull's Lo despropiament d'amor, Pedro Moner's La noche and L'anima d'Oliver, Rodriguez del Padron's Siervo libre de amor, Carros Pardo de la Casta's Regoneixenca, Rois de Corella's Parlament and Tragedia de Caldesa, Pedro de Portugal's Satira, Francesc Alegre's Somni and Raonament, Pere Torroella's correspondence, and the well-known works by Diego de San Pedro (Arnalte y Lucenda; Carcel de Amor) and Juan de Flores (Grisel y Mirabella; Grimalte y Gradissa) among others. From them, Miguel-Prendes singles out a group of dream visions whose interpretive and compositional practices sire the sentimental genre. Social interactions lead to either a consolatory or a sentimental form, which imply very different ways of seeing: the allegorical gaze of consolation gives way to narrative fiction. In distorting moral conversion, the sentimental genre heralds the novel.

The Spiritual Guide

The Spiritual Guide

By: Miguel de Molinos

In one series, the original writings of the universally acknowledged teachers of the Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, Jewish, and Islamic traditions have been critically selected, translated, and introduced by internationally recognized scholars and spiritual leaders. Miguel de Molinos (c. 1628-1696) was one of the most important figures in the religious controversy known as Quietism. Spanish by birth, he spent nearly his entire adult life in Rome, where he attracted wide fame as a spiritual director and gained the favor of several prominent figures. His Spiritual Guide (1675) recommended a life of spiritual simplicity and promoted what became known as the prayer of quiet. On publication it was an immediate bestseller, but the Guide's fame came to an abrupt end in 1685 when Molinos was accused of heresy and sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in prison in 1696. This Classics of Western Spirituality edition of the Spiritual Guide was translated from the new critical edition of José Ignacio Tellechea Idígoras. It provides an unabridged translation in modern English along with a historical introduction by the translator and a theological introduction by the eminent scholar Bernard McGinn. Book jacket.

Unifying Heaven and Earth. Essays in the History of Early Modern Cosmology

By: Miguel Á. Granada,Patrick J. Boner & Dario Tessicini

One of the most significant events in the history of Western civilization was the cosmological revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. Among the most salient factors in this change, described by Alexandre Koyré as the ‘destruction of the cosmos’ inherited from ancient Greece, were Copernican heliocentrism and the substitution of a homogeneous universe for the hierarchical cosmos of the Platonic and Aristotelian tradition. Starting with a new approach to the issue of the presence of Islamic astronomical devices in Copernicus’ work and a thorough reappraisal of the cosmological views of Paracelsus, the book deals mainly with the abolition of cosmological dualism and the ways in which it affected the decline of astrology over the 17th century. Other related topics include planetary order and theories of world harmony, the cause of planetary motion in the Tychonic world system or the discussion on comets in Germany through the first presentation of a manuscript treatise by Michael Maestlin on the great comet of 1618.

Why Did the Inquisition Ban Certain Books?

A Case Study From Portugal

By: Miguel Carvalho Abrantes

You may have heard about the fact the Inquisition banned many books, but why? Taking advantage of the Portuguese example of the Catálogo de Livros que se Proíbem Nestes Reinos, published in this country in the year of 1581, and which is essentially a local edition of the famous Index Librorum Prohibitorum, this book explores the reasons why the Inquisition forbade the reading of certain books. It provides succinct information on each of the books presented in this particular catalogue, along with the probable reasons why they were forbidden to Christian audiences.

Friends of Interpretable Objects

By: Miguel Tamen

Tamen shows how inanimate objects take on life through interpretation—notably as they are collected and housed in museums. He claims that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a “society of friends.” Thus, he suggests, our tendency as humans to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects both a life and a society.
