Potsdam, Museum Barberini, DAS EINHORN. I wasn’t expecting to see one of the most famous cassoni with illustrations of #Petrarch, TRIUMPHS. Splendid! #earlymodern @francescopetrarca.bsky.social

#OTD Giovanni #Boccaccio died 650 years ago. We remember him as one of the most important Italian authors of all time and the founder of the novella. We honor him by publishing his complete works. Sit tibi opus gloriae. THE INTERNATIONAL BOCCACCIO EDITION

Born on this day in 1478, Baldassare Castiglione. Wrote the book on how to be a courtier. And Raphael painted it. And here they both are.

Quid autem iuvat dici regem, si tyrannus es? But why are you happy to be called a king if you are a tyrant? —De remediis 1.96.2 #medievalsky #earlymodern #nokings nokings.org

Joy: I have become the autocrat over my fellow citizens. Reason: You have rewarded the fools who love you worthily. They have lifted you higher than is right and just; you have humbled them with the yoke of unjust servitude. —De remediis, 1.95.1-2 #earlymodern #medievalsky #nokings nokings.org

Tomorrow I’ll be in Cambridge giving a talk at the Cambridge Lyric Network (Classics Faculty, 4.30pm). The topic is “Petrarchan Lyric and the Intellectual History of Memory: Dispatches from Early Modern Spain”. Come say hi!

Just arrived in our library: a massive volume…. #Petrarch #earlymodern #medievalsky

Reason about Joy as a #tyrant: With what shamelessness do you live in the city where, as you know, your life is hated by all, your death is desirable to all and where you can be sure that everyone wants you to be brought down like a rabid wolf in a peaceful herd? — De remediis 1.95.10

But the worst thing in the lives of #tyrants is that they fear those they should trust and always trust those who are not trustworthy. Sed hoc pessimum habet tyrannorum vita, ut quidus fidendum est metuant semper fidantque quibus fidei nichil est. —De remediis 1.95.8 #earlymodern #medievalsky

#earlymodern #medievalsky

Gaudium: Tyrannidem in cives exerceo. Ratio: Predam atque carnificinam, auro implendus et sanguine, auri sitiens monedula tenaxque. --De remediis 1.95.7-8 (On #tyranny)

Videbis usitatum et communem tyrannorum exitum, aut glaudium aut venenum. You will see that the tyrants usually end the same way, by the sword or by poison. —De remediis 1.95.6 (On #tyranny) #medievalsky #earlymodern

Gaudium: Tyrannidem arripui. Ratio: Abstulisti libertatem aliis, securitatem tibi, requiem utrisque. Joy: I have seized sole power. Reason: In doing so, you have taken away the freedom of others, your security and the peace of mind of all of you. —De remediis 1.95 (About tyranny), 3-4

Joy: I have become the autocrat over my fellow citizens. Reason: You have rewarded the fools who love you worthily. They have lifted you higher than is right and just; you have humbled them with the yoke of unjust servitude. —De remediis, 1.95.1-2 #earlymodern #medievalsky #uspol
