Blunt","doi":"10.2307/750050","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/750050","url":null,"abstract":"The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is one of those books which have suffered from being too well printed and too beautifully illustrated. For the last century a hundred students must have turned to it for its woodcuts for every one that cast eye on the text ; and even those who look at the latter usually do so only to see the quality of the typography and not to read what the author says. And yet the book is one of the most curious products of the Venetian Renaissance, and one of the most revealing documents in the study of men's state of mind in the late fifteenth century. It was first published in Venice by Aldus Manutius in 1499. The author did not put his name to it, but he was almost certainly a Dominican monk of the monastery of SS. Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, called Francesco Colonna.1 The book is in form a romance of the traditional medieval type, like the Roman de la Rose, but based more directly on the Amorosa Visione of Boccaccio.2 It tells in a dream of the wanderings of the lover Poliphilus, but the main love theme is wrapped up in allegory and interspersed with long passages in wfiich are described the various buildings which the hero meets on his way. These form a prominent part of the book, and one of the main subjects of the woodcut illustrations. From the present point of view the most important aspect of the book is the romantic attitude which it shows towards antiquity. It is filled with references to the antique in every form. Ancient rites are described ; the names of the characters are bastard Greek, and the actual language is a barbarous mixture of Italian, Latin, and Greek; the buildings are all in the classical style, covered with inscriptions of which the author gives lengthy analyses and translations. The author was evidently intent on re-creating something of the atmosphere of antiquity, but his attitude towards the subject is peculiar. He has none of the archaological passion of the early Quattrocento Florentines, and his reconstruction of antiquity differs from theirs in being far more deeply tinged with mediaeval Christian symbolism. When, for instance, he describes the ceremonies in the Temple of Venus, in which Poliphilus is finally united to his love, Polia, the pagan ritual is mixed with Christian elements, and those attending the ceremony even say \" Cusi sia \" at the end of each prayer.3 It is always Colonna's intention to secularize these Christian elements, but it is characteristic of his approach to antiquity","PeriodicalId":410128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Warburg Institute","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1937-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114746844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sign and Symbol 符号与符号

Morris","doi":"10.2307/750065","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/750065","url":null,"abstract":"No problems are more complex or more fundamental to the concerns of man and civilization than those regarding signs. The sign is relevant to the whole extent of knowledge and of human life ; it is a universal instrument in the world of human beings, like motion in the world of physical nature. A study of signs and symbols of the kind we should like one day to achieve would set itself in the first place to recapture the essentials of that extensive and detailed intellectual system which mediaeval thinkers attained on this question, above all in logic (of the theory of the concept and the judgment) and in theology (of the theory of the sacraments). Such a study would in the second place seek to make use of the Denkmittel thus prepared for linking up the preoccupations of present-day science with that vast mass of problems whose importance was so rightly recognized by Warburg and his successors-problems concerning symbolism, its r61le in primitive civilizations, in magic, in the art and science of our developed civilizations, etc. The programme of a study of this kind should, in my view, include the following : (I) a philosophical theory of signs (general theory of signs, speculative signs, practical signs) ; (2) reflections and hypotheses on the magical sign; (3) considerations on art and signs, science and signs, social life and signs, religion, ethics, mysticism and signs. The present study will do no more than touch the fringes of the subject by offering one or two sketchy suggestions on a few of the topics relevant to the two first parts of this programme.","PeriodicalId":410128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Warburg Institute","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1937-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125175414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Platonic Justice, designed by Raphael 柏拉图式正义，由拉斐尔设计

Wind","doi":"10.2307/750074","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/750074","url":null,"abstract":"Death and he who takes Terminus for his emblem-are correlated speakers and express fundamentally the same idea. But in times of distress, when minds grow incensed with bigotry and proffer accusations of arrogance and conceit, it might be wiser to let Death speak alone and for man to be silent. By observing this silence, Erasmus gave up part of his emblem and, with it, part of his old allegiances. He had felt in sympathy with the religious reformers, but was shocked by the violence of Luther's apostasy. He had rejoiced in the revival of classical studies, but felt now forsaken by the Italian humanists. Many of these had abandoned the cause of \" bone litere \". They accused him of having laid the eggs which had been hatched by Luther. The most prominent members of the old circle of Aldus had become his avowed enemies. Alberto Pio himself prepared an open attack. Under the impact of this changed situation Erasmus seems to have taken pains to erase from the explanation of his emblem any trace of his indebtedness to his former friends and present enemies. It is curious to observe-and it cannot be an accidentthat in telling the story of Terminus in his \" Apology\" he omits without exception every one of the sources which Gyraldus had cited and which he used to cite himself: Ovid, Gellius, Dionysius of Halicarnassus. He seems intent upon stressing his \" independence \". Of classical authors he quotes only the one whom Gyraldus had omitted-Livy. He adds two Christian authors, St. Augustine and St. Ambrose. Of his contemporaries he mentions neither Politianus nor, of course, Gyraldus himself. And the chief inspirer of his emblem, the man who had first seen the stone and identified it as Terminus, has become an anonymous figure : \" Italus quidam, antiquarum rerum curiosus.\"","PeriodicalId":410128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Warburg Institute","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1937-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132260586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Early History of Man in a Cycle of Paintings by Piero di Cosimo 皮耶罗·迪·科西莫的《绘画周期中的人类早期历史》

Panofsky","doi":"10.2307/750066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/750066","url":null,"abstract":"A n early painting by Piero di Cosimo, acquired in 1932 by the Wadsworth Atheneum at Hartford, Connecticut, is generally supposed to represent the myth of Hylas and the nymphs (P1. Ia).' To this interpretation there are several objections. Hylas was the handsome favourite of Hercules, whom he accompanied on the Argonautic expedition. In Mysia, in the Propontis, Hercules, Hylas, and, according to some writers, Telamon left the ship together and ventured into the woods,, allegedly because Hercules, owing to his enormous strength, had broken his oar and wanted a tree for a new one. Here they separated because Hylas had to fetch water for the evening meal. But when he had come to the river Ascanius (or Cius), the naiads fell in love with his beauty and dragged him down to share their crystalline dwelling. He was never seen again, and Hercules strayed through the woods calling for him in vain, from which originated a local rite implying a solemnly pathetic invocation of the lost youth, \" ut litus Hyla, Hyla omne sonaret.\"2 In an artistic interpretation of this subject, then, we should expect to find the following features which are indeed characteristic of all the known representations of the Hylas myth :3 first of all, the presence of a vase or other vessel, which would indicate the purpose of Hylas' errand ; secondly, the predominance of water in the scenery ; thirdly, an amorous aggressiveness on the part of the naiads ; and, fourthly, a struggling reluctance on the part of Hylas. None of these features are present in the HartfPrd picture. No pitcher or vase is depicted. The scene is laid on a flowery meadow. The stretch of water appearing in the left background is merely a \" landscape-motif\" quite unrelated to the main incident. The six maidens show no amorous excitement whatever. They seem to have been suddenly interrupted in the peaceful pursuits of gathering flowers and walking with their little dog ; so sudden is the interruption that the two on the right drop the flowers they were carrying in their billowing draperies. Of these six maidens, the one","PeriodicalId":410128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Warburg Institute","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1937-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126572526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
