Il patrimonio librario e lo scriptorium dell'abbazia di Montevergine tra XII e XIII secolo: presenze e assenze.2019 •
The Ethiopian Orthodox monastery of Santo Stefano degli Abissini in Rome was one of four diasporic Ethiopian communities around the Mediterranean and played a central role in disseminating knowledge about Ethiopian language, culture, and religion in sixteenth-century Europe. Yet apart from its most famous member, Täsfa Ṣǝyon, very little is known about the identities and careers of its monks. This article draws on the surviving Geez manuscripts of Santo Stefano’s own library, as well as European correspondence and archival documents, to reconstruct the biographies of two influential denizens of Santo Stefano. Hitherto believed to be a single person, Yoḥannǝs of Qänṭorare and Giovanni Battista “the Indian” (whom we identify instead as Yoḥannǝs of Cyprus) in fact followed quite different career trajectories, and illustrate the variety of ways in which Ethiopian Orthodox identity could be negotiated in a Catholic European setting

Adriano Alpago Novello e il Centro Studi e Documentazione della Cultura Armena2022 •
In 1967, Adriano Alpago Novello made his first study trip to Armenia; aware of the importance of the medieval cultural heritage of the southern Caucasus, he started storing consistent documentation. That documentation has been the core of decades of activity at the Armenian Culture Studies and Documentation Centre, nowadays located in Venice. In the summer 2021, the personal documentation of Alpago Novello has been brought to Venice, to join the historical collection and create a unified corpus of photos and written documents. The historical collection maintains a focus on the Armenian heritage, while the personal collection covers a wide geographical area with a special focus on byzantine Greece and Russia, Georgia, and Near East Christian heritage. This paper aims to describe the history, the state of conservation, the content, and the potential of this valuable and unknown collection of photos. A project written by the CSDCA and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice aims to promote the mentioned collection to open new research frameworks in the contemporary historical and theoretical context while strengthening and rebuilding the great legacy rooted in Venice in the study of Eastern Christian cultures. The purpose is to collect, digitalize, and catalog Alpago Novello’s photographic documentation, to create an open-source database that will satisfy a broad request for access. The archive gives an overview of the conservation of cultural heritage during the Soviet Period and terms of comparison to look critically at the present-day monuments and landscapes after human or natural transformations have occurred. In addition, the collection shows the point of view of scholars involved in the Italian missions from the Sixties to the Nineties, opening interesting paths through several study fields like art-historical historiography, visual perception between East and West, the history of photography, and Middle Eastern history.

This paper presents an unpublished Bible dating from the second half of the 13th century, acquired from Montecassino’s Abbey in 1882, where it was held in the Private Archive (Montecassino, Archivio Privato dell’Abbazia, 3). The manuscript mirrors the features of the so-called ‘Paris Bible’, with very few exceptions, although it also exhibits some characteristics typical of Bibles produced in Italy during the 13-14th centuries. The analysis of its material and textual features, in particular the manner of its illumination, links this bible to a group of manuscripts presumably produced in the Roman area in the third quarter of the 13th century (now held in collections in Paris, Bologna, Assisi, and Vatican Apostolic Library in Rome).

The title of this collection of sixteen papers delivered at a conference held in Montepulciano on 16 and 17 September 2021 suggests that they are centred on a single subject-Cardinal (and now Saint) Roberto Bellarmino and the Jesuits in Montepulciano. In fact only a very few of the contributions touch on the place of Bellarmino's birth. The majority cover a broad variety of other subjects, mainly connected with the Jesuits, but not always even with Bellarmino. Robert Danieluk, for example, has contributed an article on the far later Jesuit scholar Contuccio Contucci, and Francesca Allegri has studied the interesting case of the English Catholic Mary Ward who tried, but failed, between 1621 and 1631, to obtain papal approval of her female congregation known as the 'Jesuitesses' and modelled on the Jesuits. Where Montepulciano itself is concerned, the material is thin. Bellarmino was indeed born there in 1542, and was educated at the new Jesuit school established in 1557. But he left the town when he was sixteen to study in Padua and then in Rome, where he joined the Society of Jesus, and hardly ever seems to have returned. Not even when he was in charge of the diocese of Montepulciano, between 1608 and 1611, does he appear to have visited his birthplace. Nor can the Jesuits claim to have had a particularly glorious past in Montepulciano. The school Bellarmine attended was closed between 1571 and 1605 as a result of various scandals involving the rector and the priests. Although the school was revived and the Jesuits completed the building of a church at the end of the seventeenth century, the surviving library, as Natale Vacalebre points out, was poor. The diocesan archives, studied by Azelio Mariani, contain 26 letters written by Bellarmino from Rome and mainly concerned with the reform of the capitular constitutions (which are further examined by Giovanni Mignoni). Otherwise, apart from Bellarmino's baptismal certificate, there is little of any relevance. A number of the more interesting articles in Bellarmino e i Gesuiti a Montepulciano are about Bellarmino's attitude to contemporary plans and problems. Robert Godding deals with his approach to the study of the lives of the saints, a matter which was coming to the fore thanks to the Dutch Jesuit Heribert Rosweyde whose original proposal to produce a series of biographical studies bore fruit in the association of the 'Bollandists' (named after the slightly younger Jesuit Jean Bolland). Rosweyde submitted his idea to Bellarmino in the shape of an opuscule which had appeared in 1607. He hoped to publish eighteen volumes which would include the original material he possessed on
