CXCVI FUNNY SAYING OF ANGELOTTO ABOUT A LONG-BEARDED GREEK CARDINAL A Greek Cardinal came to the Curia, wearing a long beard, as is usual in his country, and many persons wondered that he did not shave it off, conformably to general custom.-- He is quite right, said the Roman Cardinal Angeletto, a highly facetious man; among so many goats, one buck is no superfluity. CXCVI FACETISSIMUM ANCELOTTI DICTUM DE CARDINALI GRCO BARBATO Angelottus Romanus Cardinalis, inmultis per-facetus, cum Cardinalis Graecus ad Curiam, pro-lisa de more barba, venisset, mirantibus aliquan-diu multis illum barbam non deponere praeter consuetudinem caeterorum: -- Bene se hoc habet, inquit, nam inter tot capras, percom-mode residet unus hircus. CXCVII A CORPULENT HORSEMAN A tun-bellied horseman was riding into Perugia, when some by-standers (the inhabitants of that town are fond of a joke) jestingly inquired of him why he thus reversed the custom by carrying his valise on his horse's neck.-- I am bound to do so, he replied, in a city full of thieves and robbers. CXCVII DE QUODAM BQUESTRE CORPULENTO Equestrem quemdam admodum corpulentum urbem Perusium ingressum, cum permulti (na-tura enim ad facetiam sunt prompti) anteriori contra morem equi parte jocando ferre mallam dicerent, ille faceto responso: -- Atqui ita est opus, inquit, in urbe furibus ac latronibus referta.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The facetie, as a literary form, has an ancient lineage, while, if we regard it merely as a humorous tale or jocular anecdote, its history must be almost as old as the first laughs and smiles of prehistoric man. To go back no further, we may trace it in a direct line through Latin literature, to the Greek apopthegm. Facetiae, in the literary sense, are also to be found in Oriental literature, espeically the Persian and the Arabian. The Greek apopthegm and its Roman successor had a different character from the Florentine facetia, but the difference is one rather of matter than form. The ribald, licentious note is not so common in the classic facetaie, and the historical anecdotes treating of kings, princes, and persons of high estate were mostly reverent and often adulatory. Satire and disrespect appeared in the humorous tales of Poggio and his peers. The apopthegm was, as a rule, a brief narrative, as often as not enclosing a moral lesson in an historical anecdote. Or else it was the saying of some wise or great man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction • Winner of the National Book Award • New York Times Bestseller Renowned scholar Stephen Greenblatt brings the past to vivid life in what is at once a supreme work of scholarship, a literary page-turner, and a thrilling testament to the power of the written word. In the winter of 1417, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties plucked a very old manuscript off a dusty shelf in a remote monastery, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. He was Poggio Bracciolini, the greatest book hunter of the Renaissance. His discovery, Lucretius’ ancient poem On the Nature of Things, had been almost entirely lost to history for more than a thousand years. It was a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functions without the aid of gods, that religious fear is damaging to human life, that pleasure and virtue are not opposites but intertwined, and that matter is made up of very small material particles in eternal motion, randomly colliding and swerving in new directions. Its return to circulation changed the course of history. The poem’s vision would shape the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein, and—in the hands of Thomas Jefferson—leave its trace on the Declaration of Independence. From the gardens of the ancient philosophers to the dark chambers of monastic scriptoria during the Middle Ages to the cynical, competitive court of a corrupt and dangerous pope, Greenblatt brings Poggio’s search and discovery to life in a way that deepens our understanding of the world we live in now. “An intellectually invigorating, nonfiction version of a Dan Brown–like mystery-in-the-archives thriller.” —Boston Globe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The documents in this collection trace the course of the Renaissance in Italy and northern Europe, describing the emergence of a vibrant and varied intellectual and artistic culture in various states, cities, and kingdoms. Voices of the Renaissance: Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life contains excerpts from 52 different documents relating to the period of European history known as the Renaissance. In the 14th century, the rise of humanism, a philosophy based on the study of the languages, literature, and material culture of ancient Greece and Rome, led to a sense of revitalization and renewal among the city-states of northern Italy. The political development and economic expansion of those cities provided the ideal conditions for humanist scholarship to flourish. This period of literary, artistic, architectural, and cultural flowering is today known as the Renaissance, a term taken from the French and meaning "rebirth." The Italian Renaissance reached its height in the 15th and early 16th centuries. In the 1490s, the ideals of the Italian Renaissance spread north of the Alps and gave rise to a series of national cultural rebirths in various states. In many places, this Northern Renaissance extended into the 17th century, when war and religious discord put an end to the Renaissance era.
