I, (Roma 1662) (FONTES 66) ID - artdok1868 N2 - FONTES 66 presents the exploration of the ruins of Persepolis in 1621 by the Roman traveller Pietro Della Valle (1586-1652). During his years of travel (1614-1626) Della Valle recorded his experiences in fifty-four letters, published in three parts ? La Turchia, La Persia and L?India ? between 1650 and 1663 under the title Viaggi di Pietro della Valle il Pellegrino. Recently studied by archaeologists and literary historians, Della Valle?s travels have received little if any attention by historians of art. While Della Valle?s letters follow in a tradition of earlier Italian travellers, his methods of recording ancient monuments, art and artefacts were guided by up-to-date archaeological and antiquarian methods, first established in Italy in the first half of the sixteenth century. It was his intention from the beginning not only to describe the monuments and works of art, inscriptions, landscapes and people but to record these also graphically. This documentation was planned for the last volume which never appeared: "le figure di molte cose memorabili, sparse per tutta l?opera, la loro esplicatione". His exact observation and verbal documentation together with an extensive graphic record served his hermeneutic intentions.

Dann auch Statuen und andere Altertümer aus der ganzen antiken Stadt, wobei er besonderes Interesse für kolossale Figuren zeigt. Er verweilt auch des längeren bei den antiken Totenmasken. Am Ende tadelt der Autor stark die bedauerliche Praxis, im Altertum wie in der Neuzeit, Altertümer fortzuschaffen und zu verkaufen. Fulvios Quellen sind naturgemäß die noch erhaltenen Monumente, er verwertet aber auch Stellen aus antiken Schriftstellern, die er sorgfältig zitiert, ferner solche aus modernen wie Flavio Biondo und Francesco Albertini, die er jedoch benutzt, ohne ihre Namen zu nennen. Im ganzen eröffnet Fulvios Text Einblicke in den Feuereifer von Gelehrten der Renaissance, den Glanz des alten Rom in der Vorstellung wiedererstehen zu lassen. ER - TY - BOOK TI - East of Italy: early documentation of Mediterranean antiquities. Excerpts from Sebastiano Serlio: Il terzo libro di Sebastiano Serlio Bolognese nel qual si figurano e descrivono le antiquità di Roma, e le altre cose che sono in Italia, e fuori d?Italia (Venezia 1540) with further texts excerpted from Bernardino Amico, Giosafat Barbaro, Garcia de Silva y Figueroa, Pietro Della Valle, Jean Chardin and others (FONTES 57) ED - Davis, Margaret Daly Y1 - 2011/// KW - Guiden / Reiseliteratur / Topographische Literatur ; Traktat / Architektur ID - artdok1352 A1 - Serlio, Sebastiano N2 - Sebastiano Serlio?s third book on architecture, Il terzo libro di Sebastiano Serlio Bolognese nel qual si figurano e descrivono le antiquità di Roma, e le altre cose che sono in Italia, e fuori d?Italia, published in Venice in 1540, contains, beyond illustrations and analytical texts treating the antiquities of Rome and other cities in Italy and Istria, three non-Roman monuments from the East, the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, the tomb of the Kings of Israel in Jerusalem and a monument consisting of one hundred columns which Serlio believed to be in Greece. The book further contains a treatise about some marvellous things in Egypt. Neither Serlio?s descriptions of the monuments in the Levant nor his treatise on the Cose meravigliose de l?Egitto have attracted particular attention in studies of the Terzo libro. Nevertheless these texts hold considerable interest. Serlio?s treatment of ancient monuments outside Italy was stimulated during his presence in Venice (1527/28 - 1541). French scholars and antiquarians, among them, the French ambassador to Venice, Guillaume Pellicier, told him about Roman monuments in France, and other Venetian friends, most notably Marco Grimani (1494-1544), the Patriarch of Aquileia, drew his attention to non-Roman antiquities in the Levant. Venice itself was an important repository of knowledge about the Eastern Mediterranean, its libraries containing many manuscripts by travellers with reports of their journeys to the East. Serlio?s treatise sheds light upon the travellers who departed from Venice for the Orient ? ambassadors, diplomats, merchants, missionaries and pilgrims ? and who, in their travels, recorded the vestiges of earlier ages and other cultures. The Terzo libro experienced a wide distribution and reception. Only four years following the first printing, in 1544, the second edition of the book appeared. Other editions in Italian followed in 1551, 1559, 1562, 1566, 1584 and 1600. Numerous translations ? into Netherlandish, Spanish, Latin, German and English ? were published in the following decades. Vincenzo Scamozzi?s very thorough index to Serlio?s books (1584) contributed significantly to the diffusion of Serlio?s treatment of ancient non-Roman architecture. Serlio?s analytic treatment of the buildings of ancient Rome and of the methods of construction of the Romans, together with his documentation of monuments in the Levant, rendered the Terzo libro an invaluable handbook for generations of later travellers, who investigated, interpreted and reconstructed the monuments they encountered beyond the confines of Italy. This is confirmed in the writings of such archaeologists and scholars as Bernardino Amico (ca. 1576 - after 1620), Garcia de Silva y Figueroa (1550 - 1624), Pietro Della Valle (1586 - 1652) and Jean Chardin (1643 - 1713).

The report consists of a letter written to the Abbé Pecoil in Lyon, signed by Babin and edited and published by Jacob Spon in 1674. Pecoil desired from Babin a description of the city as it then appeared. In the same year, 1674, Spon undertook his voyage to the Levant. His travel report was published in 1678 ("Voyage d?Italie, de Dalmatie, de Grece et du Levant, fait aux années 1675 et 1676"). Spons edition of Babin?s work was basic to his archaeological formation and to the elaboration of his classification system for the study of archaeology (see FONTES 38).

Jahrhundert", 1959). Huyssen eschewed the more or less uncritical listing of objects of interests and events. He attempted instead to create a image of the country, its people, and its intellectual life. Indeed, Huyssen provides a vivid picture of the political, economic, social, and scholarly context in which works of art were created, collected, studied, and evaluated. He became closely acquainted with many of the greatest scholars in Italy, and his work is informed by his discussions with them in libraries and academies. Huyssen?s twenty-two letters, extending over more than five hundred pages, provide an unusually solid basis for the study of the monuments and works of art, and for a renewed consideration of them. His "Fourth Letter", on the city of Florence, treats the works of art, churches, and palaces of the city. At the same time it reveals much concerning the manifold social institutions in Florence as well as the customs of its citizens, life at court, in the palace, in the library and on the public piazza. Despite the attention drawn by Schudt to Huyssen?s work and to its importance for the history of art, Huyssen?s "Reiß-Beschreibung" has generally been neglected. A digistised edition of Huyssen?s work in the University Library of the University of Heidelberg is available (URL: http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/huyssen 1701).

Jahrhundert" (1959) als erster den Blick der Forschung auf Philip Skippons (1641-1691) "An account of a journey made thro? part of the Low-Countries, Germany, Italy and France" gelenkt und die Bedeutung des Textes erkannt. Zusammen mit drei weiteren Naturwissenschaftern (Botanikern und Zoologen) bereiste Skippon die Niederlande, Deutschland, Österreich, die Schweiz, Italien und Frankreich zwischen 1663 und 1666. Schudt schreibt von Skippons ?offene[m] Auge für Land und Leute?. Er interessierte sich für die Urbanistik, Monumente, Inschriften, Kirchen, Paläste und Gärten, für die Architektur, Skulptur und Malerei, wie im besonderen für die Kunstsammlungen, Kuriositäten und Raritäten. Skippon war auch von Maschinen und Instrumente begeistert. Er berichtet ferner über Staatwesen und Politik, sowie über die Sitten und Gewohnheiten des Volkes. Skippons lange und informative Beschreibung der Stadt Florenz, wie die ähnlich vernachlässigte Beschreibung des Heinrich von Huyssen (FONTES 44), stellt eine wichtige Ergänzung zu der oft ziemlich leblosen Guidenliteratur der Stadt dar. In seinem Bericht erscheinen die Kunstwerke in den politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und wissenschaftlichen Zusammenhängen in denen sie entstanden, gesammelt, studiert und erklärt wurden. Die Gesamtheit von Skippons Beschreibungen der Sammlungen von Kunstwerken, Kuriositäten und Raritäten, die er zusammen mit seinen Mitreisenden eifrig besucht und inventarisiet hat, stellt eine unschätzbare Dokumentation dar, um die Kunst- und Wunderkammern des 17. Jahrhunderts präziser und differenzierter zu definieren.

Die Engländer hielten sich nur wenige Tage in der Stadt auf. Durch Empfehlungsbriefe an Professoren der Universität und an den Kurfürsten hatten sie einen privilegierten Zugang zu vielen Informationen. Kurfürst Karl Ludwig, ein Sohn der Elisabeth Stuart, und somit Neffe des englischen Königs Karl I., hatte sich in den Jahren des Exils lange in England aufgehalten. Er sprach Englisch und empfing die Besucher auf die Schloss, wo er ihnen auch seine Sammlungen zeigte.

In contrast to a widely-held view that located the Forum between the Capitoline Hill and the Arch of Titus, Pirro Ligorio, and his friends, Gabriele Faerno and Benedetto Egio, advocated a position that relocated the Forum between the Capitoline Hill and the Palatine. This contradicted the prevailing consensus, as it was established in the Topographia Antiquae Romae (1534) of Bartolomeo Marliani. Fauno?s arguments refute the Ligorian postion, in defence of his own description of Roman topography provided in his book of the Antichità di Roma. In the course of time Ligorio?s relocation of the Forum proved to be wrong. In the discussion of ?Lucio Fauno?, it is shown that this name is a pseudonym for the writer and antiquarian, Giovanni Tarcagnota of Gaeta (d. 1566).
