{"title":"Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories in the Early Modern Iberian World","authors":"F. Soyer","doi":"10.1163/9789004395602","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004395602","url":null,"abstract":"artist, Salomone regularly found himself in financial straits and political peril. Francesco Gonzaga accused him of stealing gold from the amount the marquis provided for an elaborate chain, and Mantuan Jews accused Salomone of sodomy, which led to his imprisonment and impending execution. Eleonora of Aragon ultimately intervened on her goldsmith’s behalf. In releasing him from prison, Eleonora could enrich her jewelry collection and ensure Salomone’s conversion to Christianity. From the baptismal font, Salomone the Jew became Ercole de’ Fedeli—one of the Christian faithful. In a major feat of archival sleuthing, Herzig presents a study of conversion that will interest academics and the general audience alike. Through careful analysis of contemporary letters, inventories, payment records, notarial registries, guild regulations, and chronicles in eight Italian archives, Herzig provides a documentary description of Salomone’s life and that of his family as well as the events that led to their conversion. Conversion in early modern Italy most often came at a steep cost. For example, if a Christian man decided not to marry a converted Jewess following her baptism, the neophyte would most likely face destitution. Upon conversion she could no longer receive financial support from Jewish kindred and thus would lead a life of misery. In the case of Ercole (Salomone), Herzig underscores the benefits the goldsmith received from conversion, as princely protection saved the artist’s life and livelihood. Demand for his work continued throughout much of his life, until the Italian Wars devastated the economy. The author focuses on the biographical travails of Salomone/Ercole, but his glittery objects steal the show. Conversion may have catalyzed his release from prison, but the inimitability of his art saved him from imminent death. In fact, Isabella d’Este imprisoned the goldsmith again—post conversion—to compel him to complete her bracelets. The fate of the subject (Salomone or Ercole) relied on the desire for his objects. Jean Baudrillard observes, “We have always lived off the splendor of the subject and the poverty of the object” (Fatal Strategies [1999], 111). In Herzig’s pages, the objects activate the subject to reveal their supremacy. It is through the world of the object, the commodity, the thing that we understand culture.","PeriodicalId":45162,"journal":{"name":"SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/9789004395602","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43421909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the example of a course on Elizabeth I, the paper shows that films produced at different times and places can be presented and discussed in ways that demonstrate to students that interpretations of historical people and events are constantly changing and are shaped by the contexts in which they are produced. This method allows students to continue to appreciate films as art, rather than dismiss them because of their perceived historical errors, while it promotes thinking historically about evidence. While the article describes a specific class format and films about one person, it also discusses ways to adapt this model to other formats and topics.","PeriodicalId":45162,"journal":{"name":"SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL","volume":"80 1","pages":"419-428"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74125600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

King and Albert Rabil Jr. This series publishes translations and editions of works written during the period 1300–1700 that in some way challenge the dominant negative view of women. Most of these texts are by women, and with forty-four works in the series by December 2006, the books have become important teaching tools for courses about women or more general courses. Later this year, the press will publish a book of essays, Teaching Other Voices: Women and Religion in Early Modern Europe, also edited by King and Rabil, designed to provide practical guidance in using the texts in the series that concern religion.

Il s'agit de montrer la coherence et la continuite de cette comparaison durant deux siecles, depuis la renaissance italienne jusqu'a la « doctrine classique francaise », suivant une perspective a la fois theorique et historique. La comparaison entre les deux arts se fonde principalement sur une serie de topoi sans cesse commentes, tant dans les exegeses d’Aristote que dans les traites de theâtre et ceux de peinture. Cette etude procede en quatre moments, dont les trois premiers suivent la division de la rhetorique entre l'inventio, la dispositio et l'elocutio. La premiere partie concerne la definition de la mimesis comme « representation d'hommes en action », toujours evoquee a travers la metaphore du portrait. La seconde traite de l'unite de l'image (a la fois theâtrale et picturale), et montre que la regle des trois unites vient entierement des traites de la contre-reforme sur la peinture. La troisieme est consacree a l'expression, definie comme un langage figuratif donnant a chaque passion ses traits particuliers. Enfin, la derniere partie a pour theme les limites de la representation : que peuvent respectivement montrer la scene et le tableau ?","PeriodicalId":45162,"journal":{"name":"SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL","volume":"12 1","pages":"875-876"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85039134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Sabbatean Prophets","authors":"M. T. Walton","doi":"10.2307/20477438","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/20477438","url":null,"abstract":"The Sabbatean Prophets, by Matt Goldish. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2004. 221 pp. $39.95. This work arose from a paper the author, Samuel M. and Esther Melton Associate Professor of History at Ohio State University, wrote while a student of Michael Heyd at the Hebrew University. His dissertation, reworked as Judaism in the Theology of Sir Isaac Newton (Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1998), received the American Academy of Jewish Research's Salo Baron Prize. Between that work and the present monograph, Goldish has co-edited with Richard Popkin Jewish Messianism in the Early Modern World (Dordrecht: Kluwer, 2001), the first volume of the series Millenarianism and Messianism in Early Modern Europe, and another collection of essays, Spirit Possession in Judaism (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2001). With Daniel Frank, he is completing at present one other collection of essays, on rabbinic culture and its critics, for Wayne State. I confess to being a close friend and occasional associate of Goldish and to having essays in his edited volumes. We have a common interest in Sabbateanism, its texts and leaders in particular. In this book Goldish extends our understanding of the 17th-century messiah Shabtai Zvi and his prophet, Nathan Ashkenazi of Gaza, and some of their contemporaries, including other prophets, followers, and opponents. He does this by presenting the Sabbateans in the wider context of a mass movement incorporating Mediterranean Jewish, early modern European, and Middle Eastern cultures in a single milieu of religious enthusiasm, a universe of vibrant cross-cultural call-and-response. The work ties together two perspectives denominated by the phrase \"Sabbatean prophets\" that have not been previously so foregrounded in Sabbatean studies: that there were more than one important prophet associated with the Sabbatean event; and that these were \"Sabbatean\" prophets. The latter concept calls for a comparison of these with other prophets associated with other, contemporary, religious movements/manifestations, some of which were rather distant from this one, for example the prophets James Nayler, Isaac de La Peyrere, and Jean de Labadie; and the movements of the Quakers, the Ranters, and the French Camisards. Thus, mass, popular events both within Jewish circles, generally involving the support of important rabbis, and outside them played a more significant role than has been brought out in previous scholarship. By illuminating this context, Goldish brings previous overviews such as the nonpareil tome(s) of Gershom Scholem into relief. In the first part of the Prologue (pp. 1-6) the book stays quite close to Scholem's apprehension of the biography of Shabtai Zvi (but its conclusions are no more clinically substantiated than were Scholem's). In the last pages of the Prologue, the book begins to make its own contribution to the study of the Sabbatean event, pointing away from the biography to motives for the widespread acceptance, throughout t","PeriodicalId":45162,"journal":{"name":"SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL","volume":"52 1","pages":"579-580"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80372494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
