Dentro del rico panorama de la tratadística cinquecentesca se encuentra el De proxenetis, et proxeneticis del anconitano Benvenuto Stracca (1509-1578), publicado por primera vez en Venecia en 1558 y articulado en cuatro partes, de las cuales la última –la más extensa– reúne algunas quaestiones que, según el autor, tienen el valor de convertir el tratado «uberiorem et fertiliorem» Considerándolo casi una suerte de apéndice al famoso De mercatura, seu mercatore, la compilación, dedicada al Cardenal Rodolfo Pio da Carpi (1500-1564) legado de la Marca, tiene el indiscutible mérito de condensar en un solo texto y sistematizar la communis opinio en la materia, proporcionando un cuadro de los principales problemas inherentes al mediador y la mediación a finales de la primera edad moderna. NOTAS * La autora agradece de un modo especial la excelente disponibilidad del Dr. Gabriel Antonio García Escobar, colegial del Real Colegio de España en Bolonia, para la traducción y corrección del texto en su versión castellana.

Japanese Identity

In the pre-modern period, Japanese identity was articulated in contrast with China. It was, however, articulated in reference to criteria that were commonly accepted in the whole East-Asian cultural sphere; criteria, therefore, that were Chinese in origin.One of the fields in which Japan's conception of a Japanese identity was enacted was that of foreign relations, i.e. of Japan's relations with China, the various kingdoms in Korea, and from the second half of the sixteenth century onwards, with the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutchmen, and the Kingdom of the Ryūkū.

The Way

This is a study of a Renaissance artist and his patrons, but with an added complication, insofar as Leone de' Sommi, the gifted academician and playwright in the employ of the dukes of Mantua in the second half of the sixteenth century, was Jewish and a lifelong promoter and protector of his community. The article deals with the complex relationship between the court and the Jewish "università" concerning the drama and the way in which dramatic performances also became part of the political, judicial and social negotiations between the two parties, as well as a study of Leone's role as playwright and negotiator during a period that was arguably one of the best of times for the Jews of Mantua.
