Fascinating and enigmatic to this day: The Accurata Utopiae Tabula, an anonymous map of Cockaigne accompanied by an explanatory book (thought to be by Schnebelin), inspired the likes of Leibniz and was a popular supplement to atlases around 1700. Extensively embellished with euonyms for its locations, this multimedia ensemble offers a luxurious landscape of vices in addition to its ‘merry discourse of gluttony and boozing’. The multilingual map contains hidden connections to not only fictional worlds, such as the lands of giants in Rabelais and Fischart, but also to such historical realities as the early modern economy of credit. An enjoyable journey of discovery across the borders of different arts and disciplines, guided by the compass of media history. Faszinierend rätselhaft bis heute: Die Accurata Utopiae Tabula, eine anonyme Karte des Schlaraffenlandes samt Erklaerung in Buchform, vielleicht von einem gewissen Schnebelin, hat schon Leibniz bestrickt und war um 1700 als Beigabe zu Atlanten beliebt. Akribisch ausstaffiert mit sprechenden Ortsnamen, bietet das multimediale Ensemble nebst »lustigem Freß- oder Sauff-Discurs« eine luxuriöse Landschaft der Laster. Die mehrsprachige Wortschatzkarte unterhält versteckte Verbindungen zu fiktiven Welten wie dem Riesenreich Rabelais’ bzw. Fischarts, aber auch zu Wirklichkeiten wie der frühneuzeitlichen Ökonomie des Kredits. Eine vergnügliche Entdeckungsreise mit mediengeschichtlichem Kompass über die Grenzen der Künste und Disziplinen hinweg.

Although Renaissance scholars generally agree that Della Porta was the finest comic playwright of his generation in Italy, no detailed analysis of these plays and of their considerable influence outside Italy has previously appeared. One of the most famous men of his time in the field of scientific investigation, Della Porta wrote plays for relaxation and, on occasion, to camouflage controversial aspects of his scientific research from the Inquisitions. Today his works in science are largely forgotten and his right to fame rests on the plays. This book brings together the available facts of Della Porta's rich and often mysterious life and closely examines his dramatic works as part of the Italian literary scene in late Renaissance. Originally published in 1965.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
