Статья посвящена участию русского историка-медиевиста Евгения Аркадьевича Ананьина, проживавшего в Италии, в дебатах вокруг концепции итальянского Ренессанса в первой половине XX в., его попыткам очистить поле ренессансных исследований от укоренившихся клише (в первую очередь от постулируемой антитезы Сред-невековья и Возрождения и представления о Ренессансе как возвращении к античности). Значительная часть публикаций Ананьина в итальянских научных журналах – полемические статьи и рецензии, раскрывающие панораму ренессансных концепций в Европе 1920–1930-х гг. Русский исследователь выступал против зарубежных историков, обесценивающих оригинальность итальянского Возрождения, и в целом против попыток использовать понятие Ренессанса ad usum proprium. В настоящей статье речь пойдет о некоторых ренессансных концепциях и их авторах (Буркхард, Бурдах, Папини, Вальзер, Забугин, Нейман, Нордстрем), о которых говорит (или же, наоборот, умалчивает) Ананьин, и о его собственных взглядах, скрывающихся за критическими замечаниями. В статье затрагивается кампания против оккупации иностранцами поля ренессансных исследований, развернутая в Италии в середине 1930-х гг., и связанное с этой кампанией открытое противостояние Ананьина итальянскому мыслителю и литератору Джованни Папини, ставшему во главе открывшегося во Флоренции в 1937 г. Национального института ренессансных исследований. The reevaluation of the dogmas and canons rooted in the Renaissance historiography was а сommon direction of the studies in this field in the first half of the 20th century. At that time many original concepts emerged that corrected or completely refuted the previous ones. The present article is devoted to the participation of the Russian historian Evgenij Anan’in, who lived and worked in Italy, in the debates around the notion of the Italian Renaissance and to his attempts to contribute to the elimination of cliché from the field of Renaissance studies (primarily to abolish the postulated antithesis of the Middle Ages and Renaissance and the idea of the Renaissance as the revival of antiquity).A significant part of Anan’in's publications in Italian scientific journals consists of polemic articles and reviews, which reveal a panorama of Renaissance concepts in Europe of the 1920-1930s. The Russian researcher was strongly opposed to foreign historians who denied the originality of the Italian Renaissance; he also was against all the kind of attempts to use the concept of the Renaissance ad usum proprium (national, ideological etc.). The article focuses on the Renaissance concepts and their authors (Burkhard, Burdach, Papini, Walser, Zabughin, Neumann, Nordström), which Anan’in analyzed (or, conversely, clearly ignored) in his texts and on his own views that are hidden behind critical remarks. The publication also deals with a company deployed in Italy in the mid-1930s against the foreign «occupation» of the Renaissance field (the primacy in which was believed to belong to Italians) and the case of an open confrontation of Anan’in and Giovanni Papini, who became the head of the National Institute of Renaissance studies opened in Florence in 1937.

The Middle Ages

A reevaluation of the dogmas and canons rooted in the Renaissance historiography was а сommon trend in the studies in this field in the first half of the 20th century. At that time, there appeared many original concepts that corrected or completely refuted the previous ones. The present article is devoted to the participation of the Russian historian Evgenij Anan’in, who lived and worked in Italy, in the debates around the notion of the Italian Re­naissance and to his attempts to contribute to the elimination of various cliché from the field of Renaissance studies (primarily to abolish the postulated opposition of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and the idea of the Renaissance as the revival of antiquity). A signifi­cant part of Anan’in’s publications in Italian scientific journals consists of polemic articles and reviews that reveal a panorama of Renaissance concepts in Europe in 1920–1930s. The Russian researcher was strongly opposed to foreign historians who denied the originality of the Italian Renaissance. He was also against all kinds of attempts to use the concept of the Renaissance ad usum proprium (national, ideological, etc). The article focuses on the con­cepts of the Renaissance and their authors (Burkhard, Burdach, Papini, Walser, Zabughin, Neumann, Nordström), which Anan’in analized (or, conversely, сlearly ignored) in his texts as well as on his own views that are hidden inside his critical remarks. The publication also deals with a campaign that began in Italy in the mid-1930s against a foreign “occupation” of the Renaissance field (according to that campaign, the primacy in the Renaissance stud­ies belonged to Italians). Finally, the paper explores the case of an open confrontation be­tween Anan’in and Giovanni Papini, who became the head of the National Institute of the Renaissance studies established in Florence in 1937.

History Of

В начале 2000-х гг. в Италии были переизданы два ключевых труда русского филолога, мыслителя Владимира Николаевича Забугина: «Вергилий в итальянском Возрождении: от Данте до Торквато Тассо» и «История христианского Возрождения в Италии». Переиздание этих работ повлекло за собой новую волну интереса к наследию русского автора первой четверти XX в., жившего и работавшего в Италии. После долгих лет забвения труды Забугина о Вергилии, Помпонии Лете, Данте, истории итальянского Возрождения признаны классикой итальянской науки и переоценена его роль в герменевтическом обновлении истории искусств, главными героями которого были Аби Варбург и его школа. Об актуальной рецепции творчества Забугина в Италии пойдет речь в настоящей статье. In the early 2000s, two main works of the key Russian figure in the field of Italian Studies, philologist and thinker Vladimir Nikolaevich Zabugin «Virgil in the Italian Renaissance: from Dante to Torquato Tasso» and «The History of the Christian Renaissance in Italy» were republished in Italy. These editions provoked a new wave of interest to historical and philosophical heritage of the Russian author of the first quarter of the 20th century, who lived and worked in Italy. Previously neglected and forgotten Zabugin’s works on Virgil, Pomponius Lete, Dante, on the history of the Italian Renaissance were recognized as outstanding by leading historians, philologists, philosophers. Finally, his contribution to the hermeneutical turn of art history (whose main characters are considered Abi Warburg and his school) was also appreciated. The paper guides the reader through this current rediscovery and reception of Zabugin’s work in Italy with particular focus on his contribution to the field of renaissance studies.

Personal Library

Although it began as the personal library of one of the most influential art historians and connoisseurs of the last century, the Biblioteca Berenson now has a broad interdisciplinary scope that goes far beyond art and art history. As the library of Harvard University’s Center for Italian Renaissance Studies since the 1960s, it has become a major resource for research into all aspects of the society, culture and thought of Italy between about 1200 and 1650. Nonetheless the Berenson Library offers rich and often unique resources for art historical research, both on the Renaissance and on the 20th century.

The word Malahara or Malhama is derived from unani system of medicine. Yogaratnakara mentioned this first by the name of Malahara Kalpana. It derives its name as it removes Mala (residue etc.) from Vrana (wounds), Vidradhi (abscess) etc. This is similar to ointments in modern pharmaceutics. Malahara Kalpana is the ointment preparation which has Siktha Taila (bees wax and oil mixture) or Ghrita, as the basic constituent. The other ingredients may include herbal, metal, or mineral contents depending upon the usage. Malahara has a property like Snehana (oelation), cleansing, Ropana (healing), Lekhana (scaraping), and Varnya (beautifying), depending on the drugs used in the preparation. Rasa Tarangani a Rasa Shastra treatise of 20th century by Acharya Sadananda Sharma has enumerated various types of Malahara Kalpana taking mainly Siktha Taila as a base. Though this Kalpana holds firm roots in treating diseases the mention and explanation of this particular topic is scattered in this treatise. Hence the present article is an attempt to elucidate and unfold the Malahara Kalpana of Rasatarangani.

AbstractThe article examines the topics relating to the early modern period covered by the journal „Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“ in the hundred volumes since its first publication. Thanks to the index (1898–1995), published in 1997 and the availability online on the website perpectivia.net (since 1958), it is possible to identify constants and changes in historiographical interests. Initially, the focus was on the publication of sources in the Vatican Secret Archive (now the Vatican Apostolic Archive) relating to the history of Germany. The topics covered later gradually broadened to include the history of the Papacy, the social composition of the Curia and the Papal court and Papal diplomacy with a specific focus on nunciatures, among others. Within a lively historiographical context, connected to historical events in Germany in the 20th century, attention to themes and sources relating to the Middle Ages continues to predominate with respect to topics connected to the early modern period.

German historians long assumed that the German Kingdom was created with Henry the Fowler's coronation in 919. The reigns of both Henry the Fowler, and his son Otto the Great, were studied and researched mainly through Widukind of Corvey's chronicle Res Gestae Saxonicae. There was one source on Ottonian times that was curiously absent from most of the serious research: Liudprand of Cremona's Antapodosis. The study of this chronicle leads to a reappraisal of the tenth century in Western Europe showing how mythology of the dynasty was constructed. By looking at the later reception (through later Middle Ages and then on 19th and 20th century historiography) the author showcases the longevity of Ottonian myths and the ideological expressions of the tenth century storytellers.
