Petrarch in Provence. A Valley, a Town, a Mountain
Francesco Petrarch used to define himself as an eternal pilgrim having lived in numerous different places. He spent a significant part of his life in the Provence region in southern France, initially in Carpentras and later in Avignon and Vaucluse. This book is concerned with how Petrarch depicted these locales in Provence. The book asserts that although the poet was not attempting to describe Provence in a systematic manner as a region, one can nevertheless choose three locales which he depicted extremely impressively in his literary works, these being: Vaucluse, Avignon and Mont Ventoux.
Vaucluse is a valley not far from Avignon where Petrarch purchased a house closely adjacent to the source of the Sorgue river in the year 1337. Petrarch lived a simple country life here immersed in reading and writing. This space gradually became embodied with numerous meanings. Petrarch first and foremost placed this locale in polemic fashion against the busy and morally corrupt life of the town, concretely in Avignon. He takes pains to draw attention to his simple meals, clothes, contact with the surrounding nature and his isolation from people. His time spent in Vaucluse is also an attempt at emulating the lives of ancient Roman writers and statesmen who retired to their rural villas for study and repose. Since Petrarch did not have their financial resources, he opted for at least a truly remarkable locale, the valley and the source of the Sorgue, these being not only natural beauties but also having been referred to in classical sources. The valley also has a certain Christian genius loci, since the distinct spring has been from time immemorial (even during pagan times) a revered spot, with St. Veranus having even spent several years in the valley as a hermit. Petrarch’s life here undoubtedly also had spiritual and hermit-like features. Vaucluse has become celebrated by the fact that Petrarch set the plot of his lyrical collection Rerum vulgarium fragmenta and experienced primarily here his long and unfulfilled love for Laura. The nature around Vaucluse served as a means for evoking the fleeting visits by Laura to the valley. The continually changing natural backdrop serves to create the effect of an analogy or contrast to his spiritual states of mind.
Vaucluse is located in a strong polemical tension in relation to Avignon which was home to the Papal Curia in Petrarch’s day and which was a truly lively political and cultural centre at the time. Petrarch constantly attacked the French Papal Curia as a historical anomaly which had broken away from the apostolic beginnings, forsaken Holy Rome and was in his eyes living a life of debauchery. Petrarch’s descriptions of Avignon are extremely expressive and display his profound disgust with the situation. In the descriptions, Petrarch makes use of metaphorical images, comparisons with Babylon, Hell and a labyrinth. He employs almost apocalyptic rhetoric in long impassioned lines and metaphors focused on the sins, vices and debaucheries which reign in Avignon.
The third prominent locale in Provence is Mont Ventoux which Petrarch climbed on 26 April 1336 accompanied by his brother. This was only a short incident in his life and there are even doubts existing as to whether the climb actually even took place. Nevertheless, this letter, with its remarkable depiction of the mountain scenery and masterful transition between the description of the actual ascent and a description of his spiritual states of mind, has become one of Petrarch’s most celebrated texts. The present book is primarily concerned with the autobiographical features of the letter and the poet’s subjectivity linked with a feeling for the natural world. A detailed commentary has been written about the letter.
The book deals with the above-mentioned three locales with the use of all of the relevant criticism. It takes a stance on the various interpretative positions. It is actually the first book ever to place the three locales in Provence into mutual linkages and study their literary depictions in one piece. It focuses attention on the connections with literary tradition (in particular the typologies, locus amoenus, locus horridus, mountains as a point of contact with the deity), on the actual, allegorical and symbolic portrayal of space, the moral connotations of places, Petrarch’s autobiographical exhibitions, the innovative treatment of nature in love discourse and the depiction of literary space from the perspective of literary theory (first and foremost a phenomenological focus). The book also provides a complete translation of the relevant texts with a detailed commentary accompanying them. The majority of these texts have been translated into Czech for the first time.

This thesis examines the interaction between the conflicting ideologies of crusade and commerce, during the period when the Turkish maritime emirates of Anatolia became the primary target of western crusading endeavour. Through the close study of papal documents and archival evidence from the Italian mercantile republics, two principal areas are focussed on: firstly, the extent to which the temporal and spiritual mechanisms (e.g. trade licences and indulgences) introduced by the popes of the fourteenth century encouraged the Italian mercantile republics to participate in a crusade; secondly, the analysis of the policies of commercial exchange and military opposition adopted by the Latin states with regard to the Turks in the Aegean. The crusades in the Aegean are discussed in six chapters which broadly reflect the activities of the principal participants: 1) crusade negotiations during the pontificates of Clement V and John XXII: distractions to an Aegean crusade under Clement V; extrication from French influence under John XXII; gradual replacement of Byzantium as a target of the Aegean crusades during the 1320s; and the temporal and spiritual concessions granted by the popes to those Latin resisting the Turks in the Aegean; 2) the Zaccaria of Chios: their defence of the Aegean from Turkish attacks and the privileges they received from the papacy for this; 3) Venetian commercial activities in the Aegean: their alliances with and activities against the various Turkish emirates; 4) the 1334 naval league: the first anti-Turkish coalition; 5) the neglect of the Aegean crusades under Pope Benedict XII (1335-1342); 6) the Crusade of Smyrna and the climax of Latin efforts against the Turks in the first half of the fourteenth century (1343-1351). Although trade and crusade have often been regarded as incompatible by historians of the crusades (such as Stephen Runciman and Aziz Atiya), they both formed an integral, and inseparable, aspect of crusade policy and of western perceptions of the Turks.

Nell’immaginario dei lettori del "Canzoniere" Francesco Petrarca è il poeta solitario per eccellenza, innamorato della campagna e dell’otium. Tra le pagine della sua ampia produzione letteraria, però, egli lascia intravedere, accanto a tale immagine idealizzata, numerosi dettagli relativi alla sua vita di esperto cortigiano, di influente chierico protetto dai signori dell’Italia settentrionale, di abile diplomatico ammirato in tutta Europa. Per quanto sfocato, dunque, tale ritratto merita di essere ricostruito nel dettaglio. Il padre dell’Umanesimo, infatti, frequentò sin da giovane diverse corti e visse buona parte dell’esistenza sotto la protezione di cardinali e di signori laici, radunando intorno alla propria figura ammiratori e seguaci. In seguito a un’ascesa sociale straordinaria, Petrarca costruì un’ampia rete di rapporti con protettori, sodali e protetti appartenenti a diverse classi sociali (giuristi, condottieri, nobiluomini, membri dell’alto clero, sovrani). Tale rete venne rafforzata da numerosi componimenti letterari d’occasione e da un’accorta scelta dei destinatari a cui dedicare opere come l’"Africa" e il "De viris illustribus". Un motivo non secondario della capacità di attrazione esercitata dalla sua figura presso i contemporanei, d’altronde, fu rappresentato dalla capacità di risultare trasversale alle corti del tempo, dall’Avignone pontificia alla Napoli Angioina, dalla corte imperiale di Praga alla Padova Carrarese. Su tale esperienza di «conoscitore dei grandi uomini» (observator illustrium) si basano le lettere da lui dedicate all’educazione del sovrano, alle caratteristiche del condottiero ideale, ai rapporti tra i signori e le litterae, al ritratto del perfetto princeps. Le lettere in questione costituiscono una trattatistica per frammenti asistematica ma eloquente, destinata a lasciare un segno nella prima fase della cultura di Antico Regime. Il presente volume, per mezzo di un’analisi sistematica e ravvicinata di tale ampio corpus di testi e documenti, delinea l’affascinante profilo di un Petrarca cortigiano capace, con la sua opera e con il suo carisma, di anticipare la riflessione umanistica e rinascimentale sul rapporto tra litteratus e signore.

*
To the readers of the “Canzoniere” Petrarch appears to be the solitary poet par eccellence, deeply fond of his otium in the countryside. Among his wide literary production, anyway, it is possible to find many details concerning his life as a courtesan, as an influential clericus protected by Italian signori and as an expert diplomat. Such a portrait of Petrarch, blurred as it is, is nonetheless fascinating. The so called father of the Humanism attended several courts since his youth and spent most of his life under the protection of cardinals and signori whilst gathering admirers and followers (jurists, condottieri, noblemen, cardinals). Petrarch reinforced his network through occasional literary texts and the dedication of works as the “Africa” and “De viris illustribus”. His ability to exercise an influence at many relevant courts of his time (Avignon, Naples, Prague, Padua) contributed to the charm of his figure among the contemporaries. The experience as an expert of illustrious men (observator illustrium) contributed to his political letters on the education of a king, the ideal condottiero, the relationship among the signori and the littere, the perfect prince. These letters contribute to a fragmentary yet relevant and seminal ethical and political thought which would eventually influence the culture of Ancient Régime. Through the analysis of such a wide corpus, the book outlines the portrait of Petrarch as a courtesan.

The author emphasizes the importance of the Liber sine nomine as an outstanding text both in the controversial literature of the 14th century and in Petrarch’s works. The essay discusses the main aims of the Liber (a defence against those... more

""En 1307-1308, le pape Clément V fit mener une enquête sur les crimes imputés à l’évêque d’Albi Bernard de Castanet par deux chanoines de la cathédrale, qui avaient présenté contre ce dernier, à la Curie romaine, une liste d’accusations. Le prélat était accusé négligence pastorale, de simonie, de dilapidation, d’irrégularités et cruautés systématiques dans l’exercice de la justice, d’assassinats, enfin d’incontinence. Peu après l’audition par les enquêteurs pontificaux, à Albi, de cent quatorze témoins produits par les dénonciateurs, le pape annula la procédure. Mais trois jours plus tard, il désavoua l'évêque en le transférant du siège d’Albi à celui, bien moins prestigieux, du Puy.
L’étude de cette affaire, à partir d’une édition critique des actes de l’enquête d’Albi (conservés dans le registre 404 des Collectoriae aux Archives du Vatican), replace la démarche des dénonciateurs dans l’histoire conflictuelle de l’épiscopat de Bernard de Castanet (1276-1308) et démontre la continuité entre la volonté des témoins d’accréditer les crimes de ce dernier, d’une part, et, d’autre part, la lutte de l’oligarchie urbaine contre la juridiction seigneuriale de l'évêque, mais aussi le mouvement anti-inquisitorial dirigé par frère Bernard Délicieux dans les années 1299-1306. Durement combattue par l'évêque, l’hérésie des bons hommes s’avère en effet être au cœur de l’affaire, bien qu’elle soit passée sous silence par les dénonciateurs. L’analyse met en valeur la nature informelle et les fondements sociaux et théologico-politiques de la dissidence religieuse. Par ailleurs, en replaçant la procédure dans la série des processus inquisitionis pour « crimes énormes » (enormia) menées par les papes contre les prélats depuis le début du XIIIe siècle et en l’étudiant en termes juridiques, l’étude de ce casus montre le rôle de l’enquête, comme instrument du gouvernement d’État, dans la construction d’une opinion publique (fama), ainsi que dans la différenciation d’une sphère administrative, à partir de la matrice judiciaire, à la fin du Moyen Âge.

In 1307-1308, pope Clement V had an inquiry made into a series of crimes attributed to bishop of Albi Bernard de Castanet by two canons of the cathedral, who had presented at the roman Curia a list of accusations against their spiritual ruler. The bishop was accused of pastoral negligence, of simony, of dilapidation, of irregularities and systematic cruelty in the practice of justice, of murders and of incontinence. Soon after the hearing by pontifical commissioners of a hundred and fourteen witnesses presented by the denouncers, the pope called off the procedure. But three days later, he implicitly penalized the bishop, removing him from the see of Albi to that of Le Puy, which was much less prestigious.
The study of this case develops from the critical edition of the records of the inquiry at Albi, which are held at the Vatican Archives (register 404 of the Collectoriae). The initiative of the denouncers is examined in the perspective of the conflictual history of Bernard de Castanet’s episcopate (1276-1308). A continuity is shown between the witnesses’ will to have the bishop’s guilt admitted, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the struggle of the urban élite against the bishop’s lordly jurisdiction, but also the anti-inquisitorial movement lead by brother Bernard Délicieux in 1299-1306. The heresy of the good men, which was vigorously fought by the bishop, proves to be at the heart of the matter, though the denouncer didn’t mention it at all. The analysis show the informal consistency and the social and theologico-political grounds of religious dissent. Besides, by replacing the procedure in the series of processus inquisitionis dealing with « enormous crimes » (enormia) launched by popes against prelates since the beginning of the XIIIth century and by examining it from a juridical point of view, the study of this casus shows the role played by inquiry, as a tool of State government, in the construction of a public opinion (fama), and in the differentiation of an administrative sphere from the judiciary matrix, in the end of the Middle Ages.""

Hungary and the Holy See of Rome II. Hungarian Historical Researches of the 21th Century in the Vatican (CVH I/15), ed. by Péter Tusor–Kornél Szovák–Tamás Fedeles, Budapest–Rome 2017. pp. 436 + 11 suppl. (7 pictures printed on coated paper, 4 maps)

The volume gives a scientific plan to the forthcoming five years of the HAS-PPCU Vilmos Fraknói Vatican Historical Research Group that focuses on the Hungarian historical research in the Vatican and was established in 2017 as an organic continuation of the Impetus research group. It contains the lectures-turned-studies of the “Hungarian Historical Researches of the 21th Century in the Vatican” symposium of the VIIIth International Hungarology Congress organised by the Impetus research group on the 23rd August 2016.

The chronological and thematic order of the volume’s writings clearly outlines the planned focus and directions of the research group’s researches. The first five studies examine late medieval subject. Ágnes Maléth analyses the diplomatic relations between Charles I and the papal court in the light of sources from the Vatican Archives. Tamás Fedeles provides input to the work of the papal tax collectors by the presentation of the operation of one of them: Péter, son of István, whose person is well-known both for the Hungarian and the Polish research. Kornél Szovák examines how the Turkish question appeared in the supplications handed in the Roman Curia in the fifteenth century. Gábor Nemes processed the late medieval presence of laics and priests from the diocese of Győr in Rome leaning on various curial types of sources. Finally, the study of Bálint Lakatos provides insight into the ceremonial hierarchy of the papal court, in which he examines the place of Hungary.

The focus of the next six studies is the Early Modern Age. Viktor Kanász outlines his plan to reveal the Vatican sources concerning the curial process of György Fráter’s murder, with which he desires to settle the long-standing debt of the Hungarian historiography. Similarly, Péter Tusor drafts the details of his project about the methodical exploitation of the verbals of the seventeenth century canonical examinations. Tamás Tóth deals with this subject for the eighteenth century. Tamás Kruppa analyses the relations of politics and religion in the early seventeenth century on the basis of the works and correspondence of the Jesuit Giovanni Argenti. Béla Vilmos Mihalik also presents a diplomatic subject: the connections of the Holy See and the Court of Vienna at the end of the 17th century, at the time of the Roman legation of Count Georg Adam von Martinitz. Gábor Kisvarga outlines the plan to publish the monograph of Ferenc Galla, which survived in a manuscript, on the missions in the territory under Turkish rule.

The last four studies delineate the third main direction of the investigations of the research group; the Hungarian historical researches in the Vatican about the twentieth century. Krisztina Tóth presents the point of view of the Holy See about the Hungarian royal right of patronage at the turn of the 1920s through the protocols of the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs. Máté Gárdonyi reveals the documentary value of the renewed ad limina reports submitted already not to the Congregation of Council, but to the Consistorial Congregation. Tamás Véghseő provides interesting additions to the problems of the consolidation of the Hungarian Greek Catholics after the Treaty of Trianon in his source publication. Ultimately, Lilla Fehér unfolds a chapter of the history of the emigration in Rome after 1945: the attempt to establish the Saint Stephen Academy.

The volume is supplemented by rich source material, charts and maps published at the singular studies, pictures, summaries in English and an index.

Magyarország és a római Szentszék II. Vatikáni magyar kutatások a 21. században (CVH I/15), szerk. Tusor Péter–Szovák Kornél–Fedeles Tamás, Budapest–Róma 2017. 436 p. + (11 melléklet (7 p. műnyomó képmell., 4 térkép)

A kötet a Lendület-kutatócsoport szerves folytatásaként 2017-ben megalakult, a vatikáni magyar történeti kutatásokat működése középpontjába állító MTA-PPKE Fraknói Vilmos Római Történeti Kutatócsoport számára ad szakmai prognózist az elkövetkezendő öt évre. Alapjául a 2016. augusztus 23-án a pécsi VIII. Nemzetközi Hungarológiai Kongresszus Lendület-kutatócsoport által szervezett Vatikáni magyar történeti kutatások a 21. században szimpóziumán elhangzott előadások szolgálnak.

A tanulmányok kronológiai, tematikai rendje körvonalazza a kutatócsoport tervezett kutatásainak súlypontját, irányait. Az első öt tanulmány késő középkori témát vizsgál. Maléth Ágnes I. Károly és a pápai udvar közötti diplomáciai kapcsolatokat elemezi vatikáni levéltári források fényében. Fedeles Tamás a pápai tizedszedők munkájához szolgál adalékkal, a magyar és a lengyel kutatás számára egyaránt ismert pápai adószedő, István fia Péter kollektori működésének bemutatásával. Szovák Kornél azt vizsgálja, hogyan jelent meg a török kérdés a 15. században a pápához benyújtott folyamodványokban, az ún. szupplikációkban. Nemes Gábor a győri egyházmegyés hívek és papság késő középkori római jelenlétét dolgozza fel különféle kuriális forrástípusokra támaszkodva. Végül Lakatos Bálint tanulmánya a pápai udvar ceremoniális rangsorába enged betekintést, melyben Magyarország helyét vizsgálja.

A következő hat tanulmány súlypontját a kora újkor adja. Kanász Viktor Fráter György kuriális perére vonatkozó szentszéki források feltárásának tervét vázolja, mellyel a historiográfia régi adósságát igyekszik törleszteni. Hasonlóképpen Tusor Péter, aki a 17. századi kánoni kivizsgálási jegyzőkönyvek módszeres kiaknázásának tervét vázolja fel. Ehhez kapcsolódik Tóth Tamás írása, aki ugyanezt a témát a 18. század vonatkozásában körvonalazza. Kruppa Tamás Giovanni Argenti jezsuita művei és levelezése alapján vizsgálja politika és vallás kapcsolatát a 17. század elején Erdélyben. Szintén diplomáciai témát mutat be Mihalik Béla Vilmos: a Szentszék és a bécsi udvar kapcsolatát a 17. század végén, Georg Adam von Martinitz gróf római követsége idején. Kisvarga Gábor Galla Ferencnek a hódoltsági missziókról írt kéziratban maradt munkája kiadásának tervét vázolja.

Az utolsó négy tanulmány a kutatócsoport harmadik fő kutatási irányát a 20. századra vonatkozó szentszéki magyar kutatásokat körvonalazza. Tóth Krisztina a Szentszéknek az 1920-as évek fordulóján magyar királyi főkegyúri joggal kapcsolatban elfoglalt álláspontját ismerteti a Rendkívüli Egyházi Ügyek Kongregációja jegyzőkönyvein keresztül. Gárdonyi Máté a megújított, és már nem a Zsinati, hanem a Konzisztoriális Kongregációhoz benyújtott ad limina jelentések forrásértékét mutatja be. Véghseő Tamás forrásközlésében a görögkatolikusság Trianon utáni konszolidációjához ad érdekes adalékokat. Végül Fehér Lilla az 1945 utáni római emigráció történetének egy fejezetét, a Szent István Akadémia létrehozására tett kísérletet tárja fel.

A kötetet az egyes tanulmányoknál közölt gazdag forrásanyag, táblázatok, térképek, képanyag, illetve angol nyelvű összefoglalók és mutató egészíti ki.
