Abstract

L’Hypnerotomachia Poliphili de Francesco Colonna, parue en 1499 chez Alde Manuce, a nourri l’imaginaire du XVIe siècle et de ses suivants d’une manière étonnante. Le livre, pourtant, a une trame difficile et est écrit dans une langue expérimentale. Sur la base de l’édition des épitaphes latines du chapitre dit du Polyandrion, ou "cimetière des morts d’amour", Martine Furno examine les représentations mentales, nourries de connaissances exactes et d’images modernes, qu’un auteur comme Francesco Colonna avait de l’Antiquité, et quel pouvait être son projet linguistique. L’éclairage qu’elle donne de l’histoire culturelle de la fin du XVe siècle amende en outre la connaissance de la source dont ont surgi, cinquante ans plus tard, la traduction de Jean Martin et la création du Poliphile français.

Abstract

Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304-1374) worked over many years on his long historical text about the Lives of ancient Roman military heroes, 'De viris illustribus' (On Famous Men). Left unfinished at his death, the text was completed by 1379 by Petrarch's colleague, Lombardo della Seta. Within a decade, 'De viris illustribus' was translated into Italian; and in 1476 the 'Libro degli uomini famosi' was printed in Poiano outside of Verona by the eccentric humanist and scribe, Felice Feliciano (1433-1479/1480). The edition includes a peculiar feature: preceding each of the Lives is a page on which is printed an interlace woodcut border within which, however, no image appears. The present book surveys the hand-illumination of twenty surviving copies of Felice's edition in order to investigate: the Renaissance fascination with the classical past; the artistic traditions of representing Uomini famosi; the technical problems of illustrating books with woodcuts; and the fortuna of the 1476 edition. Two copies contain sequences of heroes painted within the woodcut borders; these heroes provide evidence for reconstructing the appearance of the "lost" frescoes of famous men painted at the end of Petrarch's lifetime in the Carrara palace in Padua.

Abstract

"The fiftieth anniversary of Helvetica, the most famous of all sans serif typefaces, was celebrated with an excitement unusual in the staid world of typography and culminated in the release of the first movie ever made starring a typeface. Yet Helvetica's fifty-year milestone pales in comparison with the two thousandth anniversary in 2014 of Trajan's Column and its famous inscription--the preeminent illustration of the classical Roman capital letter. For, despite the modern ascendance of the sans serif, serif typefaces, most notably Times Roman, still dominate printed matter and retain a strong presence in screen-based communication. The Eternal Letter is a lavishly illustrated examination of the enduring influence of, and many variations on, the classical Roman capital letter. The Eternal Letter offers a series of essays by some of the most highly regarded practitioners in the fields of typography, lettering, and stone carving. They discuss the subtleties of the classical Roman capital letter itself, different iterations of it over the years, and the work of famous typographers and craftsmen. The essays cover such topics as efforts to calculate a geometric formulation of the Trajan letters; the recalculation of their proportions by early typefounders; the development and astonishing popularity of Adobe Trajan; type and letter designs by Father Edward M. Catich, Frederic W. Goudy, Eric Gill, Jan van Krimpen, Hermann Zapf, Matthew Carter, and others; the influence of Trajan in Russia; and three generations of lettercarvers at the John Stevens Shop in Newport, Rhode Island. Essays about modern typefaces--including Matinia, Senatus, and Penumbra--are contributed by the designers of these typefaces." -- Publisher's description
