explores the reception of Pope Julius ii’s statuary deities in his Cortile del Belvedere through the poetic works of two humanists, papal courtier Evangelista Maddaleni de’ Capodiferro and Savonarolan philosopher Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola. The construction of the Cortile animated a lively querelle on the state and mission of the Catholic Church, as it allowed the pagan idols of antiquity to re-enter the holy grounds of the Vatican. Through the analysis of two divergent poetic receptions of the Belvedere gods, this article will explore the Cortile del Belvedere and Julius ii’s Rome, as a space of spiritual dialogue and religious hybridism.
这篇文章通过两位人文主义者——教皇的侍从Evangelista Maddaleni de ' Capodiferro和萨沃纳罗兰哲学家Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola的诗歌作品,探讨了教皇朱利叶斯二世在他的Belvedere城堡中雕像神的接受情况。教堂的建造激起了一场对天主教国家和使命的激烈争论,因为它允许古代的异教偶像重新进入梵蒂冈的圣地。本文将通过对贝尔维德神的两种不同的诗歌接受的分析,来探讨贝尔维德宫和尤利乌斯二世的罗马作为一个精神对话和宗教杂交的空间。
期刊介绍:
The peer-reviewed Journal of Religion in Europe (JRE) provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Europe, both historically and contemporary. The Journal’s underlying idea is that religion in Europe is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another; there exists a pluralism of societal systems, such as nation, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of them interacting with religious systems; finally, in a pluralism of scholarly discourses religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology are addressing the religious dynamics involved.
