Dans les années centrales du XVe siècle, un notaire corse du nom de Giovanni della Grossa écrit le tout premier récit historique de l’île dans un contexte géopolitique particulier où s’affrontent les partisans seigneuriaux de la Corse aragonaise et ceux de la Commune de Gênes. À la fois témoin et acteur des événements qui déchirent la Corse du Quattrocento, Giovanni della Grossa participe à la guerre géno-aragonaise en livrant sa vision du conflit : une Corse chaotique. À travers son récit, il entend réordonner sur le plan idéologique les partis politiques insulaires, à savoir communal et seigneurial. Pour ce faire, il invente des origines politiques à la Corse qu’il transforme en modèle. Ce modèle est celui d’une monarchie comtale régie par un comte de Corse dont sont issus les ennemis de la Commune de Gênes : les Cinarchesi. Cette légende politique, de surcroît sans fondements historiques, motive plusieurs réécritures de l’œuvre du notaire au cours du Cinquecento. Deux versions nous sont alors parvenues : la « version courte », éditée en 1594 sous le titre d’Historia di Corsica, et la « version longue », imprimée pour la première fois en 1910. Les Histoires de Corse désignent ainsi ce corpus historiographique complexe qui comprend deux compilations historiques de plusieurs écrivains des XVe et XVIe siècles que les copistes, les compilateurs et les éditeurs scientifiques ont confondus. Cette thèse vise alors à retrouver, parmi les versions manuscrites et leur paratexte, le récit historique médiéval corse, plus précisément son discours politique qui s’est égaré entre la France, l’Italie et l’Espagne au cours des guerres des XVe et XVIe siècles. / In the middle of the Fifteenth century, a Corsican notary named Giovanni della Grossa wrote the earliest historical account of the island of Corsica, in the particular geopolitical context of the struggles between the feudal partisans of Aragonese Corsica and of the Commune of Genoa. At the same time witness and actor of the events that divide Corsica during the Quattrocento, Giovanni della Grossa participates in the Geno-Aragonese War and delivers his account of the conflict, describing a chaotic Corsica. Through his History, he intends to ideologically “reorder” the island’s political parties, distinguishing the communal party on one hand, and the seigneurial one on the other. In order to do this, he invents the political origins of Corsica and turns his invention into a model. This model consists in a monarchical county, under the rule of a count of Corsica chosen within the ranks of the Cinarchesi, enemies of the Commune of Genoa. This political legend, which is not founded on any historical basis, generates several rewritings of the work of the notary during the Cinquecento. Two versions survived: the “short version”, published in 1594 under the title of Historia di Corsica, and the “long version”, published for the first time in 1910. The Histories of Corsica thus designates this complex historiographical corpus, which includes two historical compilations of several writers of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries that copyists, compilers and scientific publishers have often mixed up. This thesis aims to find, among the manuscript versions and their paratext, the medieval Corsican historical narrative, and thus tries to precisely seize a political discourse that was lost between France, Italy and Spain during the wars of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries.

O presente trabalho constitui a completa tradução em língua portuguesa do tratado italiano Il Transilvano de Girolamo Diruta publicado em Veneza, em dois volumes distintos, no ano de 1593 e 1609. Sob a forma retórica do Diálogo, esta obra versa sobre a maneira correta de tocar o órgão e outros antigos instrumentos de teclado e sobre os mais importantes assuntos da música italiana do século XVI. Objeto de interesse de músicos e cortesãos, Il Transilvano é ao mesmo tempo tratado de música dedicado ao ensino da arte do teclado aos nobres e também importante documento da escola tecladística veneziana, especialmente das preceptivas técnicas de Claudio Merulo, e da tradição polifônica de A. Willaert e G. Zarlino.

This thesis examines French and English trade voyages and trade colonies in North American during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and French and English relations with Native Americans. The colonies of Port Royal, Jamestown, and Sagadahoc included members of previous French and English trade voyages and depended on the experience and information gained during trade voyages to formulate their economic objectives and colonial policies. French and English North American activity was intrinsically connected in this era through a plethora of amiable and competitive associations. National, transnational, and regional frameworks are all necessary in explaining Port Royal, Jamestown, and Sagadahoc. French and English interaction with Native American groups during these voyages and colonies was distinctly similar, and the diverse cultures of the native Mi’kmaq, Eastern Abenaki, Powhatans, and Armouchiquois, rather than the divisions between French and English culture, were central in shaping colonist-Native relations in the seventeenth century.

Early modern representations of witchcraft have been the subject of considerable recent scholarship; however, three significant aspects of the corpus have not received sufficient attention and are treated independently here for the first time. This dissertation will examine how witchcraft imagery invited discourse concerning the reality of magic and witchcraft and suggested connections to contemporary issues through the themes of the witch’s violent autonomy, bestial passions, and unnatural interactions with the demonic and the dead. These three themes address specific features of the multifaceted identity of the witch and participate in a larger discussion that questioned the nature of humanity. Analysis of each issue reveals a complex, ambiguous, and often radically open treatment of the subject that necessitates a revision of how witchcraft imagery from this period is understood. Each understudied aspect of witchcraft imagery is explored through a series of case studies that have not appeared together until now. Previously unexamined artworks with inventive content are introduced and canonical pictures are examined from new perspectives. These images were created in the principal artistic centers, the Italian city-states, the German provinces, and the Low Countries, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the controversy over witchcraft was at its peak. Although they are few in number, these highly innovative images are the most effective and illuminating means by which to access these themes. These works of art provide valuable insights into important issues that troubled early modern society. Chapter 1 reveals how witchcraft imagery produced in the Low Countries is concerned with the witch’s violent rejection of the social bonds and practices upon which the community depends for survival. Chapter 2 examines how the figure of the witch was used to explore concerns about the delineation and transgression of the human-animal boundary. Chapter 3 exposes an interest in the physical possibility of witchcraft; artists questioned the ability of witches and demons to manipulate the material world. Issues include the witches’ capacity to reanimate dead bodies and create monstrous creatures. Together these images demonstrate active and meaningful engagement with the theories, beliefs, and practices associated with witchcraft.

In this thesis,it has been aimed to evaluate the claims of which argue that the human rights thought has been firstly formulated by Francisco de Vitoria and Bartolome de Las Casas in the early sixteenth century Spain.

This thesis provides a revisionist account of the relationship between Latin biblical criticism, vernacular religious culture and Reformed doctrines of scriptural authority in the early modern period. It achieves this by studying episodes from the career of the English Hebraist Hugh Broughton (1549-1612). Current orthodoxy holds that Broughton's devotion to the tenets of Reformed scripturalism distinguished him from contemporary biblical humanists, whose more flexible attitudes to the Bible enabled them to produce cutting-edge scholarship. In challenging this consensus, this thesis focusses on three areas. The first is chronology. Recent work has presented chronology as divided between technical, philological practitioners, who drew from astronomy and humanism alike in their efforts to date the past, and scripturalists, who relied on the Bible alone. Using the chronological controversy between Broughton and the Oxonian John Rainolds, this thesis complicates this picture by arguing that both approaches to the discipline were equally derived from humanistic traditions, and that confessional, rather than intellectual or methodological, factors informed the most important decisions chronologers made. The second area is biblical criticism. There is still a broad assumption that Reformed beliefs about scripture were incompatible with the most advanced biblical scholarship. This thesis questions such assumptions by reconstructing Broughton's research into the Hebraic contexts of the New Testament. By demonstrating that it was possible to produce innovative and influential work without challenging and indeed, while endorsing the principles of Reformed scripturalism, this thesis disputes current teleological presumptions about the development of modern, historical biblical criticism. The third is the history of lay reading. Both chronology and biblical criticism have often been viewed as specialised pursuits, studied only by a Latin-reading elite and irrelevant to lay people. For Broughton and his followers, however, biblical scholarship and lay piety were inseparable. The thesis demonstrates this by piecing together Broughton's radical plans for a new English Bible, including his work with John Speed on biblical genealogy, and his revisions of the Geneva New Testament. Using numerous neglected manuscript sources, it gives an account of the sixteenth-century biblical translation that foregrounds the unexpected ways in which groundbreaking neo-Latin, continental biblical scholarship expanded scholars' concepts of what vernacular translation could achieve.

A cultura sexual brasileira foi forjada ao longo da história, na medida em que atitudes e comportamentos, valores e normas sociais, determinações religiosas e influências dos diferentes povos íam dando forma a essa cultura. A semente dessa cultura foi germinada durante o período colonial quando chegaram os primeiros conquistadores e teve início o processo de miscigenação racial. Na atribuição do que é certo ou errado, normal ou patológico, aceitável ou inadmissível está implícito, de acordo com Michel Foucault, um amplo exercício de poder que socialmente discrimina, separa e classifica.

The Brazilian sexual culture was formed through the history, at the same time that acts and behaviors, values and social rules, religious determinations and foreigner influences gave to this culture a form. The seeds of this culture was formed during the Colonial age, at the first conquerors’ arrive and the miscegenation process begun. In the attribution of what is right or wrong, normal or pathological, acceptable or not are implicit, according Michel Foucault, a large exercise of power that socially discriminates, separates and classifies it. This way, the religious relations and influences under this thematic field solve relevant questions that need be observed in order to understand the distribution of sexual ideas in the period. The analysis of 23 Father Manuel da Nóbrega’s writings, first Jesuit to bring to Brazil the Christian precepts of Company of Jesus, it passed to gain large scientific relevance for the building of Brazilian sexual education, since that in his lines we can find extensive material about sexual attitudes used in sixteenth century Brazilian society, with prescriptions, values and behaviors considered acceptable for the Church.

Este trabalho contempla a teoria e prática da música inglesa do final do século XVI e início do XVII. Seu objetivo central é oferecer uma tradução comentada da primeira parte do tratado A Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke\" (1597) de Thomas Morley, amparada por notas explicativas e críticas que tratam dos problemas referentes à terminologia e algumas questões de caráter histórico. A escolha do tratado de Morley para a presente pesquisa deve-se ao seu enfoque completo e pedagógico das principais definições da teoria musical da época e é na primeira parte do tratado que todos os elementos melódicos e rítmicos necessários para a leitura de uma partitura são apresentados. Portanto, a tradução para o português desta importante obra será muito útil para músicos e editores, pois permitirá realizar transcrições, leituras críticas de edições modernas e leitura em fac-símile. Além disso, será essencial para o estudo da música inglesa daquele período, considerando que a prática musical inglesa difere, em alguns aspectos, daquela ensinada no continente europeu. / This research contemplates the theory and practice of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century English music. Its main objective is to provide a commented translation of the first part of \"The Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke\" (1597) by Thomas Morley supported by explanatory notes and criticisms dealing with problems related to terminology and reflections on historical matters. The choice of Morleys treatise for this research is due to its comprehensive teaching of the main definitions of music theory at that time. It is in the first part that all the melodic and rhythmic elements necessary for the reading of a musical score are presented. Therefore, the translation of this important work into Portuguese should be very useful for musicians and publishers, as it will allow transcriptions and critical readings of modern editions and reading in facsimile. Moreover, it should also be essential for the study of English music of that period, as the English musical practice differs in some respects from that taught in the European continent.
