Léonard Lessius was a Flemish Jesuit whose published works engaged in the most pressing economic, theological, and philosophical debates of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth-centuries. Highly-respected for both his profound intellect and his exemplary integrity and virtue, Lessius, also known as "The Prince of Philosophers" was venerated even in death. Despite his remarkable fame and influence in his own day, Lessius' philosophical contributions and legacy have been largely forgotten by modern historians. This striking lacuna in the historiography illuminates the narrow categories and concerns as well as the serious limitations of modern philosophy and the history of philosophy in particular. This report narrows in on one of these lost philosophical fields and treatises in particular, Lessius's study on diet and health, Hygiasticon (Antwerp, 1613). It uniquely, and quite literally, gets at the heart and soul of early modern philosophy: what is natural, what is the relationship between body, mind and soul, and what is necessary for health, wealth, spiritual- and self-improvement. / text

Este trabalho tem como proposta estudar a obra pictórica de Jerônimo Bosch a partir da pesquisa, seleção, tradução e análise de excertos dos séculos XV, XVI e início do XVII que tratam do pintor e de sua obra. Diferentemente dos estudos contemporâneos, que, iconográficos, privilegiam a análise das imagens e a interpretação de seu simbolismo, esta pesquisa propõe estudar Bosch através destes textos, pensados a partir dos gêneros discursivos. Considerando as diferenças entre os gêneros, o estudo dos excertos visa a explorar sua diversidade e apontar seus pontos comuns, como a fama de Bosch na época, as descrições de suas pinturas e a qualificação das obras, sobretudo como fantásticas, bizarras e maravilhosas. / The purpose of this study is to discuss Jerome Boschs pictorial works in light of research, selection, translation and analysis of writings from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries about his life and works. Unlike contemporary iconographic studies in which the analysis of images and the interpretation of its symbols are the main method, this work intends to study Bosch through those texts, considering the genres of rhetorical discourse. Taking into account the differences among genres, this study explores the diversity of the texts, trying to point out, when possible, its commonalities, as found in the painters fame in the period, the description of his paintings and the qualification of his works, specially when they are regarded as fantastic, bizarre and wonderful.

My thesis explores the potential manipulation of Roman brick using a Flemish bond, corner quoining, and barrel vaulting. The design uses this brick module to re-interpret the Ancient Roman domus, an urban residence embedded within the heart of the city. This classical inspiration is apparent in the tripartite plan and elevation as well as the use of the Golden Ratio, a classical proportioning system, incorporated throughout the design, revealed on both large and small scales. However, the emphasis of the project is on true brick construction, a process irrelevant to historical allusion. / Master of Architecture
