Author

Davies, Eloise

Subjects
*ANGLICANS, *ITALIANS, *PRAYERS, *PRAYER, *ACCOUNT books
Abstract

The article discusses the translation of the Book of Common Prayer into Italian and the efforts of English evangelism in Italy from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. The author, Stefano Villani, argues that despite the ultimate failure of these efforts, they are still significant and worthy of historical attention. Villani's research draws on a wide range of sources and introduces previously overlooked translators and cultural brokers. The article highlights the innovative and comprehensive nature of Villani's work, making it valuable for historians of Anglican evangelism. [Extracted from the article]

2. Forbidden knowledge. Medicine, science and censorship in early modern Italy.

Author

Davies, Eloise

Subjects
*CENSORSHIP, *BANNED books, *BOOK collectors, *SELF-censorship
Abstract

Taking medical knowledge as her case study, Marcus provides an illuminating account of the complexities entailed in Counter-Reformation censorship of "useful" books. Marcus memorably describes expurgation as "the dark side of commonplacing" (p. 94); its practitioners reversed the humanist practice of noting edifying passages to achieve new, censorious ends. Marcus explores a largely futile attempt to enlist a committee of (predominantly lay) experts to compile lists of expurgations at the University of Padua, a celebrated centre of early modern medical knowledge.
