In City Views in the Habsburg and Medici Courts , Ryan E. Gregg relates how Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and Duke Cosimo I of Tuscany employed city view artists such as Anton van den Wyngaerde and Giovanni Stradano to aid in constructing authority. These artists produced a specific style of city view that shared affinity with Renaissance historiographic practice in its use of optical evidence and rhetorical techniques. History has tended to see city views as accurate recordings of built environments. Bringing together ancient and Renaissance texts, archival material, and fieldwork in the depicted locations, Gregg demonstrates that a close-knit school of city view artists instead manipulated settings to help persuade audiences of the truthfulness of their patrons' official narratives.

Cet ouvrage rassemble seize communications sur le Pouvoir au Moyen Âge présentées en 2002-2004 au séminaire de l'Équipe de Recherches SICMA (Sociétés, Idéologies, Croyances au Moyen Âge) rattachée à l'Université de Provence. Ces études recouvrent un large espace chronologique et géopolitique. Plusieurs thèmes y sont traités : les lieux et les signes du pouvoir, les liens entre les différents détenteurs du pouvoir, les fondements du pouvoir. Pouvoir d'origine divine, dont le bienfait s'exprime dans la conduite personnelle du souverain et dans l'exercice d'une bonne justice, qui tempère les impératifs de la loi pour assurer la paix. Pouvoir qui n'a rien d'absolu, qui tient compte de tous les acteurs de la « société du pouvoir », y compris du peuple. Pouvoir, enfin, exprimé par des mots et des modèles révélateurs d'idéologies et de croyances dont plusieurs études font ici l'analyse.

This book provides an original and multidisciplinary approach on Magna Carta (1215) as a joint heritage, a source of inspiration both for long established democracies and countries which only recently experienced the Rule of Law. Far from simply extolling the virtues associated with Magna Carta, it explores the gaps of the Great Charter. Instead of dealing separately with the historians’ and the lawyers’ outlooks as two conflicting perspectives, it juxtaposes the views of medievalist and contemporary historians with those of practicing lawyers and law academics, offering readers a thorough yet accessible historic and legal analysis of the charter and its meaning for the citizens of twenty-first century democracies. At a time of the erosion of civil liberties and fundamental rights, The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna Carta provides a rare insight into the 1215 medieval charter and its legacy.
