Leon Battista Alberti: <i>On Painting</i>
No full textLeon Battista Alberti was one of the most important humanist scholars of the Italian Renaissance. Active in mid-fifteenth-century Florence, he was an architect, theorist, and author of texts on perspective and painting. Leon Battista Alberti: On Painting is a cardinal work that revolutionized Western art. In this volume Rocco Sinisgalli presents a new English translation and critical examination of Alberti's seminal text. Dr Sinisgalli reverses the received understanding of the relationship between the Italian and Latin versions of Alberti's treatise by demonstrating that Alberti wrote it first in Italian and then translated it into a polished Latin over the course of several decades. This volume is richly illustrated to help demonstrate how Alberti understood optics and art.</jats:p
The chronicle of Alfonson lll and its significance for the historiography of the Asturian kingdom 718-910 AD
No full textThe Asturian kingdom provided the earliest organised
resistance in the Iberian peninsula to the Muslim invaders who overthrew the Visigothic state at the start of the 8th century. Information on the origins of the Asturian kingdom is regrettably sparse. Historians of the kingdom are totally reliant on a late 9th-century cycle of Asturian chronicles associated with the royal court, the most substantial of which is the Chronicle of Alfonso III. This work has survived in two fundamental recensions from the 10th century. Historians' gratitude for its existence is tinged with frustration at its readily apparent weaknesses, such as a chronological imprecision on events and an enigmatic brevity in the commentary.
This thesis considers the 9th-century Asturian chronicles in
the context of their own time. In particular, it examines the Chronicle of Alfonso III not as a disappointing source which fails to yield to modern scholars the information they crave on this obscure period of early Spanish history, but, rather, as an expression of the aims of a medieval author and his copyists. The Chronicle was the product of scarce and valuable resources. Its author, within the limits of his literary ability and source of information, transmitted a message which interacted with the individual understanding of its intended audience. This shift of
emphasis in analysing the Chronicle of Alfonso III rests on the assumption that its original text may be recognised in the later recensions which used it, by addition or omission, as a vehicle for their own interests

Leon Battista Alberti e il rinnovamento del palazzo di corte di Ferrara
No full textThe essay discusses the renovation of the palace of the court of Ferrara during the fifteenth century, and the role which played in the occurrence the teaching of Leon Battista Alberti. The essay is divided into two parts: the first is devoted to the base of the equestrian monument of Niccolò III d'Este, traditionally attributed to Leon Battista Alberti, and that the author instead correlates with the pro-Byzantine environments that revolved around the Este court. The second part of the paper focuses on the various phases of the work of radical reorganization of the court palace undertaken by Ercole I d'Este in 1471 and here for the first time reconstructed in detail
