Abstract

Aqueduct hunting has been a favorite pastime for visitors to Rome since antiquity, although serious study of how the Eternal City obtained its water did not begin until the seventeenth century. It was Raffaello Fabretti (1619-1700), the well-known Italian antiquarian and epigrapher, who began the first systematic research of the Roman aqueduct system. Fabretti's treatise De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae dissertationes tres is cited as a matter of course by all later scholars working in the area of Roman topography. Its findings, while updated and supplemented by more recent archaeological efforts, have never been fully superseded. Yet despite its enormous importance and impact on scholarly efforts, the De aquis has never been translated from the original Latin. Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century provides a full translation of and commentary on Fabretti's treatise, making it accessible to a broad audience and carefully assessing its scholarly contributions.

Abstract

Au tournant du XIIe et du XIIIe siècle, les thématiques moralisatrices tiennent une place importante dans les sources musicales parisiennes, particulièrement dans la pratique du conductus. L'analyse d'une sélection de conduits monodiques moraux attribués à Philippe le Chancelier révèle les qualités oratoires et rhétoriques de cette production tant par le texte que par la musique. Les deux entretiennent une relation complexe qui peut être de valoriser les sons des mots, d'en clarifier le sens ou encore de mettre en place une construction savante, à l'intention des esprits habitués aux subtilités de la poésie rythmique latine et des mélodies du plain-chant. Le désir de communication du message moral impose ses règles et ses figures, comme autant de techniques apprises au contact d'autres pratiques du discours, notamment celle du sermon. Les capacités du prédicateur à structurer son message et le fonder sur un substrat culturel scolaire et biblique se trouvent ainsi réinvesties dans l'élaboration de ces constructions lyriques.

Abstract

The present volume is the fifth publication of a Frontinus-conference edited by Gilbert Wiplinger as a BABESCH supplement volume on historical water science. Held in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, and the place of activity of Sextus Iulius Frontinus as curator aquarum, it was probably one of the most important and challenging events of this congress series. For the first time a new path was taken, as the organizer and publisher wanted to approach the topic of water from the artistic side. This was realized in the opening lecture with the presentation of a literary novel in which Frontinus plays the main character and a photo exhibition held at the Austrian Historical Insitute about the integration of the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus in the newly constructed building of the waterworks of Limburg (Netherlands). -- from the back cover.
