Abstract
In characteristic fashion, the Iter Italicum of Paul Oskar Kristeller reveals the richness of Renaissance thought on seafaring. The literature on seafaring conserved in manuscripts cataloged in the Iter Italicum ranges from commentary on ancient seafaring to eulogies of contemporary heroes to works on mechanics and engineering with unusual proposals for naval weaponry. Those manuscripts likewise highlight the Renaissance conceptualization of seafaring as an art and a creative tension in Renaissance scholarship between looking back to the past and looking forward to the future.
保罗·奥斯卡·克里斯特勒(Paul Oskar Kristeller)的《Iter Italicum》以独特的方式揭示了文艺复兴时期航海思想的丰富性。意大利国际原子能机构(Iter Italicum)收录的手稿中保存着有关航海的文献,从古代航海的评论到当代英雄的颂词,再到机械和工程方面的作品,其中包括对海军武器的不同寻常的建议。这些手稿同样强调了文艺复兴时期航海作为一门艺术的概念,以及文艺复兴时期学术回顾过去和展望未来之间的创造性张力。
期刊介绍:
The TRADITIO Network has now been furnishing information about all facets of traditional Roman Catholicism, answering questions both privately and publicly, for over 13 years now, longer than any other traditional site on the Internet. When we started, even the Vatican site didn"t exist! We wish that we could show you all of the personal letters we have received from troubled souls who have found here clear, traditional, and honest answers to their questions, free of organizational bias. Thousands of these have reverted or converted to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith as a result.
