This book explores the complex interplay between relic cults and the liturgy in the Middle Ages. The cults of saints buried in churches throughout Christendom provoked expressions of devotion through ...various media, including not only more familiar ones like hagiographic literature, sacred architecture, and visual art but also the texts, music, and ritual of the liturgy. This study situates this oft-neglected yet critical domain of religious life at the center of its examination of relic cults in medieval Tuscany, which boasted the rich and well-documented veneration of holy bishops and martyrs buried in the cathedrals and suburban shrines of its principal cities. Holy Treasure reveals that the music composed for these local saints—no fewer than ninety chants for the Mass and Divine Office—belonged to larger campaigns that included the writing of their lives and the building and decoration of their shrines. The authors of such programs were the self-appointed protectors of their relics, namely bishops and cathedrals canons, who strove for a monopoly over the material (if not spiritual) benefits of local cults. In so doing, Tuscan clerics drew on influential models—literary, architectural, musical, and ritual—from preeminent European powers, Rome, and the Carolingian Empire. By integrating detailed analyses of plainsong and ritual into this rich panorama, this study traces the dialectic between local, regional, and pan-European politics in revealing the centrality of the liturgy in the development of medieval relic cults.
The Mediterranean port of Livorno was home to one of the most prominent and privileged Jewish enclaves of early modern Europe. Focusing on Livornese Jewry, this book offers an alternative perspective ...on Jewish acculturation during the eighteenth century, and reassesses common assumptions about the interactions of Jews with outside culture and the impact of state reforms on the corporate Jewish community. Working from a vast array of previously untapped archival and literary sources, Francesca Bregoli combines cultural analysis with a study of institutional developments to investigate Jewish responses to Enlightenment thought and politics, as well as non-Jewish perceptions of Jews, through an exploration of Jewish-Christian cultural exchange, sites of sociability, and reformist policies.Mediterranean Enlightenment shows that Livornese Jewish scholars engaged with Enlightenment ideals and aspired to contribute to society at large without weakening the boundaries of traditional Jewish life. By arguing that the privileged status of Livorno Jewry had conservative rather than liberalizing effects, it also challenges the notion that economic utility facilitates Jewish integration, nuancing received wisdom about processes of emancipation in Europe.
MUSINT is an interactive museological network devoted to the Tuscan archaeological collections which enables the creation of an innovative display itinerary through the collections of Aegean and ...Cypriot antiquities, so that exhibits originating from different museum institutions can be appreciated. This has led to the creation of a "museum of museums" which responds to the need to offer a display system that can be "visited" by a broad and variegated public. The arrangement of the book itself reflects the true nature of the MUSINT project and its character as a research worksite, enhanced by past experience, and a bridge for the appreciation of new perspectives within a scientific, technological and cultural universe that is open and in continual movement.

Qual è la reale competenza scrittoria mediale di scriventi con istruzione elementare e quali fattori sono da ritenere costitutivi di tale competenza? Questo il quesito al quale si è cercato di ...rispondere sulla base dell'analisi di un corpus di >scrittura popolare Archivio Diaristico Nazionale di Pieve S. Stefano: una trentina di memorie, diari e lettere, prevalentemente manoscritti, di scriventi toscani del '900, tutti con istruzione scolastica elementare (3--6 anni). La competenza mediale riguarda i livelli di scrittura costitutivi del codice scritto: l'ortografia, l'interpunzione e l'aspetto esteriore del testo. I dati rilevati vengono confrontati sia con le diverse caratteristiche socioculturali degli scriventi (livello di scolarità, attività professionale, età e sesso dello scrivente, ecc.) sia con la situazione comunicativa concreta, al fine di identificare i fattori rilevanti nella costituzione della competenza scrittoria (compreso l'adeguamento alle necessità comunicative). Il quadro teorico in cui si sviluppa l'indagine comprende la scrittura in quanto sistema, i processi dello scrivere, e i meccanismi di acquisizione della scrittura, mettendo a frutto i risultati di tali ricerche per lo specifico contesto della scrittura popolare italiana e avvicinando cos delle discipline sinora senza contatto tra loro.
