The cult of St Nicholas in medieval Italy
No full textSt Nicholas was one of the most popular saints in medieval Italy. His cult attracted the attention
of popes, kings and emperors, and his shrine at Bari became an important international pilgrimage
destination. This thesis asks how the cult of St Nicholas came to be so widespread and popular in
Italy, and why the saint attracted the attention of diverse groups and individuals.
This thesis is structured around four chapters. The first demonstrates that through a
process of Latinisation the cult of St Nicholas became integrated within Italian literary traditions
and within a new spiritual era. Chapter Two reveals that this Latinisation also occurred within the
saint’s iconography. Chapters Three and Four are case studies of the cult in Puglia and Venice,
locations which claimed possession of the saint’s relics. These case studies show that the general
developments that the cult of St Nicholas underwent in Italy, identified in Chapters One and Two,
did not apply universally. Instead, the presence of the saint’s relics resulted in a different profile
of the saint in Bari and Venice. Through the process of Latinisation, the cult of St Nicholas
became updated and remained relevant for its new Italian audience; Chapters Three and Four
show alternative ways that the cult of St Nicholas gained widespread popularity.
This thesis presents for the first time an iconographical study of St Nicholas in Italian art,
which develops existing research of the saint’s Byzantine iconography. Chapter Four presents a
profile of the cult of St Nicholas in Venice in the Middle Ages, which is a significant oversight in
the literature. The thesis uses a variety of visual and textual sources, in particular fresco and
altarpiece representations, archival documents from Venice and Rome (including the Apostolic
Visitations), and under-exploited contemporary and antiquarian Venetian sources
Replication Data for: Group 2 | BARI (Harvard, Northeastern): Expanding Administrative Urban Knowledge with R and Big Data: “Boston Property Assessments FY2018”
No full textI. INTRODUCTION, AND IMPACT OF FINDINGS FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION
Outcome: A quantitative ""data-story"" can be fully expressed in qualitative form as a means of expressing the interconnected nature of variables that contribute to a networked understanding to map the constantly evolving modern Urban Landscape.
Enhanced allocative, fiscal, political, and social decision making lead to almost immediate positive externalities in terms of the connected urban landscape. Constant constraints of many different forms force decision-makers to make impulsive, rushed, and consequently uninformed decisions that are based merely on presuppositions. Constant construction of pathways between seamlessly unrelated sets of information derived from the existing, historic, and quantifiable data types will bring urban decision makers solution-based and preventative vs. reactive competitive advantage . These *NEW* ""Measures"" that we have calculated and defined only be achieved through the expansion of PUBLIC access to unit-level, which is one of the purposes of publishing reproducible findings for this dataset.II. PURPOSE AND GOAL IN TERMS OF THE CONTRIBUTION TO UNCOVER INSIGHTS THAT HIGHLIGHT THE HOLISTIC FUNCTIONS OF THE CITY AND IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE
* Incorporate big data into the study and management of the City of Boston to develop new contextually rich value-added variables through integration of additional administrative records, GIS/geographic data (shape-file/JSON), demographic data etc.
* Statistically analyze and explore output generated from the integrated data to uncover correlations that will provide increased confidence levels, understandability, and interpretability in relation to the economy, direct human behavior, government policies/decision making, and the environment.
* Use Practical Aggregate Measures to accelerate assimilation of, and to leverage all facets of corresponding applicable data
* Finally, meticulously record, interpolate, hypothesize, and upload findings for a continuation of development.--
