Ist Trauer ein Ergebnis sozialer Konventionen, entspringt sie gar der Einbildung des Betroffenen, oder liegt sie vielmehr in der Natur des Menschen? Dieser existenziell bedeutsamen Frage geht der Renaissance- Autor Giannozzo Manetti in seiner Schrift Dialogus consolatorius nach und spannt dabei den Bogen von der antiken Tradion über die christliche Trostliteratur hinüber in seine eigene Zeit, in der ein Paradigmenwechsel stattfindet. Manetti qualifiziert die Trauer als natürliche, wesentlich zum Menschsein gehörige Empfindung und hält ein mutiges Plädoyer für die emotionale Emanzipation des Menschen. Kern der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist eine eng an den zugrundeliegenden Quellen orientierte Kommentierung des Dialoges , die besonders den epocheübergreifend interessierten Altphilologen anspreichen wird. Die Übersetzung des lateinischen Textes im Anhang der Arbeit macht die Argumentation Manettis für Leser aller Fachrichtungen nachvollziehbar. Am Ende der Arbeit steht ein Versuch, dem Renaissance-Text im Blick auf die Trauertheorien der modernen Psychologie einen aktuellen Bezug zu verleihen und vergleichbare Erfahrungen aufzuzeigen, die Betroffene in der Ausnahmesituation des Trauerfalls in allen Zeiten durchleben. Neben Sach- und Personenregister erleichtert eine ausführliche Einleitung zur Gattungsgeschichte und zur Wirkungszeit den Zugang zum Thema.

"Building the Kingdom" examines how Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459), by interpreting the great architectural projects of his day within historical, literary, and spiritual contexts, articulated their relevance for his contemporaries as cultural paradigms of the Early Italian Renaissance. Manetti, wealthy, learned, devout, and politcally active, was perhaps the most admired lay thinker of his generation, a leader within the new intellectual currents of his native Florence and prominent in Rome at the court of Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455). Manetti's detailed accounts both of the consecration of Florence Cathedral in 1439 ("De secularibus et pontificalibus pompis" [Concerning the Secular and Pontifical Parades]) and of the ambitious building projects planned by Nicholas for a revival of papal splendor in Rome (book 2 of his "Life of Nicholas V Supreme Pontiff") are among the most elaborate architectural ekphrases of the fifteenth century. In these, he surpasses his better known rival, Leon Battista Alberti. These important Latin texts are presented here in new critical editions, with English translations and commentaries, preceded by chapters situating them within Manetti's other writings, his vast redaing, and his historical moment. A close reading of the texts, coupled with an in-depth examination of the sites described and the ceremonies conducted there, shows how Manetti's distinctive fusion of Scholastic and Humanist ideas became authoritative for an Early Renaissance understanding of the cultural and spiritual power of buildings.

Manetti's Latin treatise Adversus Iudaeos et Gentes (Against the Jews and Gentiles) offers a polemical defense of the Christian religion. This volume, which includes the first four books, surveys human history from the Creation to the life, teaching, and resurrection of Christ. Book I begins with the creation and fall of man in the Biblical account. There follows a long digression adversus gentes (the Gentiles, i.e., pagans), which reviews central points of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and religion, and censures the ancients for their senseless doctrines and bloody rites. Manetti then returns to the Jews, whose beliefs and practices are praised from Abraham to Moses. During their centuries of "true" piety, Manetti calls the chosen people "Hebrews." But from the time of the Exodus onwards, he censures them as "Jews" because they observe the absurd and cruel practices of Pentateuchal legislation, which he views as analogous to pagan rites. Manetti stresses several themes in Jewish history: the early development of the concept of righteousness, the Exodus, the Mosaic Law and its inadequacy--thus providing a "preparation for the Gospel" in Eusebius' sense. The next three books provide a synoptic biography of Jesus in three stages. Book II describes the life of Christ up to the raising of Lazarus; Book III relates his teaching, and Book IV offers an account of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.--
