This volume translates the poems of Giulio Cesare Croce: a sixteenth-century street poet and singer who plied his trade on the bustling streets of Bologna. Though widely popular in his time, Croce’s work has been largely neglected by modern scholarship, and his poems remain largely untranslated into English—despite their frequent reference by Italian academics who recognize their value as vivid windows into Early Modern life. This collection remedies this absence by providing the first English translation for many of Croce’s poems, bringing out (rather than obscuring) their uncouth and bawdy nature. It argues for the use of Croce’s poems within historical inquiry, demonstrating their unique contribution to our understanding of Early Modern Italy. His poems illuminate a genre often forgotten due to its oral and ephemeral nature and reveal the lived experiences of the pre-modern non-elite, displaying the flavor and character of their daily lives. Organized into four thematic chapters, the translated poems are accompanied by contextual introductions that explore various dimensions of pre-modern life. Explanatory footnotes further situate Croce’s works within their literary and historical context, making the collection accessible to scholars, students, and general readers interested in Early Modern Italian history and popular literature.
The purpose of this series is to provide a large repertory 17th century Italian sacred music in clear modern editions that are both practical and faithful to the original sources.
Dopo aver affrontato la sfida di riscrivere, in narrativa moderna, le opere di Giulio Cesare (De bello gallico, De bello civili), di pseudo Cesare (autori ignoti del Bellum alexandrinum, africum e hispaniense) e di Sallustio (La congiura di Catilina e la guerra giugurtina), in modo che il lettore le possa leggere come fossero prodotte oggi, l'autore si cimenta con Plutarco, altro mostro sacro. Ci presenta Caio Giulio Cesare, pennellato dalle "Vite parallele", un racconto avvincente: azione, amore, guerra, imprese epiche, religione, vizi privati e virt , un'avventura leggendaria ma tutta Storia non un romanzo. Scopo di questo lavoro, e degli altri, avvicinare i giovani, e i meno giovani, ai grandi classici antichi, libri senza tempo, di fargli conoscere i grandi eventi del passato, la storia con la esse maiuscola. Missione impossibile? Il tentativo lodevole, merita di essere sostenuto.
Dynamics and Stochasticity in Transportation Systems: Solutions for Transportation Network Modeling breaks new ground on the topics, providing consistent and comprehensive coverage of steady state equilibrium and dynamic assignment within a common strategy. The book details the most recent advances in network assignment, including day-to-day and within-day dynamics, providing a solid foundation to help transportation planners solve transient overload and other problems. Users will find a book that fills the gap in knowledge with its description on how to use and employ the latest dynamic network models for evaluation of traffic and transport demand interventions. This book demystifies the many different dynamic traffic assignment approaches and requires no previous knowledge on the part of the reader. All results are fully described and proven, thus eliminating the need to seek out other references. The skills described will appeal to transportation professionals, researchers and graduate students alike.
Ottonello's text represents the broadest coverage of geochemistry yet published, and is the only book in the field to discuss interionic static potentials in crystals, thermodynamic properties based on lattice vibrations, and crystalline defects and their effect on stability relations of minerals. Includes nearly two hundred tables, three hundred figures, and an abundance of examples.
