Music of the Protestant Reformation continues to be of enduring interest to scholars and performers, and recent research has drawn attention to the complex bi-and tri-confessional landscape of German-speaking lands in the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the topic of music and Protestantism in early modern Austrian lands has remained little researched. This article examines the funeral motet for the nobleman Ludwig II von Polheim from 1608, in the context of printed Lutheran funeral sermons and the anti-Catholic propaganda of the large-scale fresco at Parz Castle in Upper Austria. A close reading of the motet suggests music's key role in the expression of religious doctrine, the negotiation of denominational identity, and the battle for souls in bi-confessional early modern Austria.

Just before the denouement of the opera Il palazzo incantato , something remarkable happens. For long hours, the enchanted palace of the title—drawn from Ariosto's Orlando furioso —has kept the 20-odd characters vainly searching for one another, with rarely more than two or three converging at a time. In the penultimate scene, however, the librettist, Giulio Rospigliosi, and composer, Luigi Rossi, allow nearly the entire company to assemble. But rather than greet and embrace each other, the long-lost lovers and friends suspend the story they have been enacting, abandon their characters' motivations, and play a round of parlour games. The bizarre events of Act 3, scene 7—heretofore unremarked—illuminate something fundamental about the work as a whole. Indeed, notwithstanding its length and elaborate staging, this opera shows an affinity less with Rospigliosi's earlier theatrical works than with the typical amusements of the aristocratic chamber, and with the cantata specifically: a difference that may stretch our idea of what an opera could be in Barberini Rome.

The present article primarily deals with the personality of Sophia of Hanover and her claims to the succession to the English throne. Sophia and her descendants (specifically George I) were appointed by the Act of Settlement as heirs to the throne upon the death of Anne Stuart. The life of Sophia, as well as her relations with the English monarchs and the Stuart family as such, will be outlined through the memoirs not only of Sophia herself but also of her family members, as well as through the correspondence of Sophie herself, including the English monarchs of the period under review.

This article addresses the way in which Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, through the manuscript "Descripción de la Bahía de Santa María de Galve" (1693), shows a series of textual relationships with discursive forms such as Relaciones Geográficas, with other texts mentioned in the manuscript (La Florida by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Naufragios by Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Historia de la fundación y discurso de la provincia de Santiago de México de la orden de Predicadores by Agustín Dávila Padilla), and with the rest of the work of the Mexican polygraph. Through these intertextualities, we consider that the "Descripción de la Bahía de Santa María de Galve" is shown as a text that reflects, on the one hand, Sigüenza and Góngora's mastery of the colonial archive and, on the other hand, the maturity and assimilation of the cultural practices that he cultivated and put at the service of the aforementioned exploratory project at the end of the 17th century.

This article will describe the first attempt made by the Danish East India Company to establish trade with Japan in 1637–1645, as described in Dutch and Portuguese sources. In doing this, it will contribute to a rich historiography of early modern European contacts with Japan. In English-language historiography on seventeenth-century maritime East Asia, the Danish East India Company has largely been overlooked as an actor compared to its larger European counterparts. Conversely, in Danish historiography the interactions between the Danish company and its larger competitors, especially the Dutch, have been overlooked as well. The article will show how the governor of the Danish East India Company tried to cooperate with the Spanish and Portuguese in bypassing the Dutch monopoly in Japan. In addition, it will show how the Japanese relied on Dutch intelligence on the outside world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the find of 222 shillings of the Polish King John II Casimir Vasa unearthed in unknown time on the territory of a not specified Moravian site and kept currently in the Moravian Museum under the signature H 63. The coins in question are Polish and Lithuanian copper coins coming approximately from the 1660s and particular mints (e.g. Ujazdów, Oliwa, Vilnius, Kaunas…) can be detected, in ideal case, through characteristic marks on the coin surface.

In recent years, the perspective of lived religion has drawn attention toward the everyday religious practices of the laity. In early-modern Europe, the realm of the sacred could be approached in different ways from within the mundane world, and religious practices were tightly intertwined with social life. In local communities, religious ideas and practices taught by the church in varying ways intermingled with traits from local religious traditions. This article examines the different ways of religious participation available to the rural inhabitants of late 17th century Eastern Finland, a part of the kingdom of Sweden during the early modern era. Applying the concept and approach of lived religion, the article analyses how Eastern Finnish peasants adjusted their religious practices to their individual circumstances. The article also examines different kinds of interaction and influences affecting the choices of the laity in the sphere of religion. The article is based on surviving court and visitation records from the province of Savo, a rural area where distances between households were often large and many people had to travel a long way to reach the nearest church. It is in the article emphasized that while physical distances and other factors such as infirmity could restrict one's ability to participate in religious activities at the parish church, the laity had different kinds of practices to choose from and they even created ways of religious participation for themselves. Religious practices could include participating in household feasts on holy days or bringing offerings to a devotional site near the household or in the forest. It is argued that while there were many traditional elements in the sphere of religion passed on to following generations, people also adopted and adapted new ideas in their everyday religious lives.

Monsters, by the Latin definition of their name, are omens that portend turbulent times. The pamphlet A Relation of a terrible Monster called a Toad-fish, published in London in 1642, told of “a fiend, not a fish; at the least a monster, not an ordinary creature” which had become entangled in a fishing net and then put on display in London. The creature was described as resembling a giant toad, with a wide, toothy mouth and human characteristics of ribs, hands, and fingers. Discovery of the Thames monster instilled a sense of worry throughout the realm. The landing of the “Toad-fish” was linked in the tract to a bloody encounter that occurred between two well-known members of the British aristocracy fighting on opposing sides at the onset of the Civil War. The present paper describes how this vernacular publication was part of a flourishing of providential pamphlets in the 17th century wherein natural anomalies were invested with wider ecclesiastical and political meaning. Also undertaken herein is a review of various candidate species from which to suggest that the mysterious Toad-fish may have been another example of the angelshark’s (Squatina squatina) monstrous alter ego. This is an animal that has previously been suggested as being responsible for the ‘sea monk’ noted in several prominent natural histories of the Renaissance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the involvement of Malay ulama in the production of religious books or also known as kitab kuning, especially fiqh books in the 17th century. This century, as stated by some local historians, is the beginning of the development of classical Malay books in various fields including religion. The discussion in this article is focused on two things namely the development of writing religious books, focused on fiqh books in the 17th century, while the second case reviews two sample books that have been written in the 17th century namely (1) the Sirat al-Mustaqim and (2) the Mir’ah al-Tullab fi Tashil Ma’rifah Ahkam al-Shari’ah li Mulk al-Wahhab. From the discussion of the above, it can be concluded that the activity of writing classical Malay religious works developed along with the activity of writing in other fields including the fields of Malay literature, Sufism, Malay and Islamic history, Quran and Islamic medicine.

The article presents a function and genre analysis of the use of Polish words (transcoded markers) in the French letters of Queen Marysieńka Sobieska to her husbands: Jan Sobiepan Zamoyski and King Jan III Sobieski. The functional characterization distinguishes an emotive function (based on the strategy of including emotionally and stylistically charged elements in L2 = the second language), e.g. Świnia (pig), a referential function (based on the strategy of including names of realities belonging to the space of L2), e.g. pospolite ruszenie (mass levy), and a deictic function (based on the inclusion of proper names functioning primarily in L2), e.g. Jaworów. In reference to the genre analysis, the role of personal and factual factors, which imply the use of L2 in the letters of bilingual people, is observed, as well as the place of elements from L2 in the structure of letters. It is concluded that the presence of elements in L2 does not affect the cohesion of the letters, but broadens their potential and proves the author's full competence in both languages.

Based on a passage from Manuscript No. 9350 of the Austrian National Library, which, to the author’s knowledge, has not yet attracted scholarly attention, the paper deals with an interesting description of Upper Lusatia, which probably originated in the second half of the 17th century and offers some remarkable insights into the religious and cultural situation in this region.

Both the government and the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties made great efforts to inculcate Confucian family ethics in society. However, through a study of the day-to-day practices of lower-class families in 17th century North China, this paper points out that during this era, due to taxation, poverty, and warfare, the nuclear family, rather than the multigenerational family, was more common among the common people. Filial piety, a cornerstone of Confucian ethics, was not seriously practiced in the society, either. In the literature of the time, the topic of "shrewish wives" received ample attention, reflecting a social reality. In addition, the strict requirements for women's chastity were seriously challenged. In examining the ethical situation in Chinese society, therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to the decrees of the rulers and the dogmas of the cultural elite, but also to the practices of the people and to the differences, tensions, and compromises in ethical practices among different social classes.

A sensory perspective in archaeology provides insight into a range of past cultural practices, including foodways. An ongoing examination of the role of maize, a New World domesticate, in the diet of 17th-century New Englanders highlights the importance of a sensory approach to understanding colonial encounters with cultural "Other." By foregrounding sensory experience to consider the tastes, flavors, and textures of maize dishes, but also the physical labor of growing and preparing maize for consumption, this study demonstrates that maize, though a novel foodstuff, was for many colonists good to grow and eat. For others, this cereal was laborious to produce and, even if sustaining, neither good to eat nor, as Levi-Strauss (1983) said, good to think. By considering the physical and sensorial implications of growing, processing, preparing, and consuming maize, archaeologists may gain insight into a broader transformation in cultural understandings and perceptions about the New World. The incorporation of maize into colonial households suggests that daily encounters with this food were integral to the formation and negotiation of identity in colonial society.

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, many builders, artists, and architects living on the shores of Italian lakes decided to settle in Poland. Upon arrival, they pursued brilliant careers in various areas of life. Over time, they became Polonized. This was also the case for Giovanni Battista Trevano, who was active in Krakow in the first half of the 17th century and whose lifetime achievement was to become the royal architect of the Vasa kings. This article presents Trevano's artistic oeuvre and provides insight into his social, economic, and intellectual status in the new community, including the architect's offspring, who pursued successful careers in army, church, and state offices throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. These new findings are based on manuscripts that have recently been discovered by the author of the article in both Polish and Swiss archives. They allow for expanding the knowledge of the Trevano family's genealogy and biography, and correcting some unjustified views in the discourse. On the basis of research on new archival sources, one can conclude that Giovanni Battista Trevano was a prominent architect, who is credited with introducing in Poland the early Baroque style, which soon became dominant in northern European art.

Paolo Pagani (1655-1716) is an artist whose work has not yet been fully explored. Based on the study of Pagani`s work, it is now possible to incorporate in his work an unknown preparatory drawing on the theme of the Miraculous Healing of a Blind Man by Jesus Christ. This rare drawing is of fundamental importance for the understanding of the style of the artist’s first production and could shed new light on the dating of other works by Pagani.

We analyze the poetics of the 17th century around the birth of opera, trying to clarify their philosophical assumptions. I will show that the key ideas of Mei, Galilei and Bardi, such as the distinction between ancients and moderns, the critique of polyphony versus monody and the subordination of music to poetry, are founded on the distinction between liberal and servile arts. The new idea of realizing a commedia tutta in musica, contrary to what the myth of the camerata, was not relevant and was only introduced ad hoc by Rinuccini and Caccini, followed later by other theorists who hardly questioned the old ideas. Only Pietro della Valle will lay the foundations of a new poetics, closer to the Modern Age than to the Ancient Age.

The authors present the characteristics of Jesuit libraries in the Kingdom of Hungary in terms of their content, with special focus on works by the most influential Jesuit authors, which were among the most numerous ones in Hungarian Jesuit libraries. The authors also draw attention to the most popular titles published by the Hungarian Jesuits in the 17th century, which can be considered bestsellers of Baroque Catholic literature not only in the Kingdom of Hungary, but also abroad. Many of them also found their readers in Poland and were translated into Polish. Furthermore, the authors point to the interconnection between Hungarian and Polish Jesuit book culture and the Jesuit Polonica in Hungarian Jesuit libraries and typographies of the 17th-18th century. The Hungarian book culture does not mean the book culture of contemporary Hungary, but of Kingdom of Hungary. This paper focus on the Jesuits from the Slovak territory, which was a part of Kingdom of Hungary for 800 years (from 11th century to 1918). The essential research sources are the international educational program Ratio Atque Institutio Studiorum Societatis Jesu and catalogues of Hungarian Jesuit libraries, located in Slovakia, from the years 1632–1782.

BackgroundOver 100 million Americans are living with chronic pain, and pain is the most common reason that patients seek medical attention. Despite the prevalence of pain, the practice of pain management and the scientific discipline of pain research are relatively new fields compared to the rest of medicine - contributing to a twenty-first century dilemma for health care providers asked to relieve suffering in the "Fifth Vital Sign" era.MethodsThis manuscript provides a narrative review of the basic mechanisms of chronic pain and history of chronic pain management in the United States - including the various regulatory, health system and provider factors that contributed to the decline of multidisciplinary pain treatment in favor of the predominant opioid treatment strategy seen today. Multiple non-opioid pain treatment strategies are then outlined. The manuscript concludes with three key questions to help guide future research at the intersection of pain and addiction.ConclusionsThe assessment and treatment of chronic pain will continue to be one of the most common functions of a health care provider. To move beyond an over reliance on opioid medications, the addiction and pain research communities must unite with chronic pain patients to increase the evidence base supporting non-opioid analgesic strategies.

Diario espiritual de la venerable Úrsula de Jesús (ca. 1650-1661) es el escrito dictado por una profesa peruana en un convento limeño en el que pasó de ser esclava a donada luego de un accidente en el que fue salvada milagrosamente. La crítica no ha leído, hasta el momento, esta textualidad desde el feminismo decolonial y consideramos que este opera como una lente fundamental para analizar la especificidad del discurso de una mujer, mulata y mística, cuyas posiciones subjetivas entran en tensión. Los desvíos que esta autora realiza en la tradición de las vidas permiten postular que su doble situación de subalternidad, como mulata y mujer, dentro de la jerarquía conventual incide en el modo en que se autorrepresenta a sí misma (como mística y productora del texto), y en que construye su autoridad y vinculación con el mundo sobrenatural a partir de la modulación de las voces ajenas y propia. Todo lo cual delinea una “subjetividad resistente”. Abstract Diario espiritual de la venerable Úrsula de Jesús (ca. 1650-1661) was dictated by a peruvian professed in a convent in Lima where she had entered as a slave. After an accident where she was miraculously saved, she decided to devote her life to Christ, afterwards she reentered the convent as a lay sister. Former studies about Úrsula haven’t read this text from the perspective of the decolonial feminism which we consider to be an essential lens to analyze the discourse of this woman, mulata and mystic, and her subject positions that are in tension. Úrsula de Jesús produces slippages in the writing tradition of vidas, this enables to show how her “double subalternity” position, as a woman and mulata within the ecclesiastic structure, determines the way she represents herself (as a mystic and producer of the text), the construction of the authority and her relation with a supernatural world, through the reconfiguration of her own voice and those of others. Finally, this depicts a “resistant subjectivity”.

The 17th century was a difficult time for bishops in England. Throughout the century, the country was beset with religious and political conflicts and violence, both verbal and physical. This situation was compounded by factions within monarchy, parliament and Church. The Church, in its widest sense, was roughly split between three entities: dissenters, Anglicans and Roman-Catholics. Before the Interregnum, the Episcopacy had been abolished although bishops did not lose their clerical status. Edward Stillingfleet (1635-1699), ordained in 1658 before the Restoration of 1660, believed that Episcopal oversight was the best method of Church jurisdiction. He noted that neither Christ not the Apostles had decreed any specific of Church government. If individual Churches or ministers stayed true to accepted practices and beliefs, there would have been less need for the Episcopacy. After the Glorious Revolution in 1689, Stillingfleet became the Bishop of Worcester. Throughout his career, Stillingfleet continually defended the Episcopacy against attacks by Dissenters who were against Episcopal authority and by Roman-Catholics who felt the bishops had deserted the true Christian faith.

Dury thought Schlezer "a modest godly and learned young man", and recommended him to the Anglo-Prussian intelligencer in London, Samuel Hartlib ( I c i . 1600-62).[9] This connection to Hartlib, which was initially limited to correspondence on literary matters, would later prove influential to the advancement of Schlezer's diplomatic career. Yet the desire to marry was also conditioned by Schlezer's concerns for his children, "especially my daughter".[35] For by this time Schlezer had been joined in London not only by his two children, but also by his sister, Elisabetha.[36] As Bernhard Erdmansdörffer has documented, Schlezer's diplomatic and personal missions in England came apart at the seams between 1656 and 1658.

Causing harm to persons or possessions was the stock-in-trade of Scottish witches, and in this sense Duff's maleficent activities are entirely typical, save for the relatively large number of people whom she targets, as well as the frequent lethality of her interventions.[26] Perhaps more intriguing is the accusation that Duff helped the child of William Duff (not necessarily a relation) recover from whooping-cough by having him tie a thread or ribbon around the child's throat. There were for instance more than sixty-five such commission in 1661 and 1662 alone, covering locations from Scatwell to Selkirk, but trial records survive for almost none of them.[14] Of course, some materials related to local proceedings are known, usually in the form of witches' confessions, although in a few cases with attendant trial records as well.[15] Nonetheless, Isobel Duff's trial is still an extremely rare example of surviving proceedings by a local witchcraft commission, and as such it offers invaluable insights into the nuts-and-bolts of prosecution as experienced by the majority of Scotland's accused witches. As we will see shortly, the details of Isobel Duff's case are in line with this comparatively satan-heavy profile.[6] Duff's trial also needs to be understood within the longer-term context of witch-prosecution in Scotland, which had developed along distinctive lines.

This article explores efforts by different groups of Scots to do business with the complex and hierarchical Cromwellian government, and in particular their attempts to gain access to the protector and his council in London. Three groups are examined: the burghs, which tended to use formal, paid agents; the rival kirk factions, which sought help from different political parties at Whitehall; and private petitioners, especially among the nobility, who relied on personal contacts with individual councillors. None of these strategies was entirely successful, as the Scots found lobbying the government more difficult than their English or Irish counterparts, but their persistence reveals an underlying pragmatism that encouraged them to overcome their misgivings and engage with the Cromwellian state.

Scholarship has paid little attention to the regular clergy's ethnographical understandings in the making of a new model of Catholicism in the Asian colonial space. The article investigates indigenous material culture in the Luzon province at the end of the 17th century. It will start from a report written by Dominican Archbishop Felipe Pardo on September 1, 1685, in Manila, after having dealt with some papers which had been sent to him by fray Juan de Todos los Santos. The report contained some inquiries concerning the instruments and materials that the natives of those towns used to sacrifice to their idols, called Anitos. These untapped sources today kept in the Archivo General de Indias provide the opportunity to become acquainted with the names of the original indigenous instruments, their functions and purposes, their circulation within and outside families, and the indigenous people's strategies to avoid their confiscation by the missionaries. The article will also pay attention to 1) the indigenous capacity of resistance and assimilation through their own material universe; 2) the Hispanic Church's religious syncretism in the face of the impossibility to eradicate the pagan practices of the Zambales, the inhabitants living in those places.

The paper presents an Ottoman map, which in one part shows in more detail the area of the Bosnian eyalet with its surroundings, i.e. parts of the area of early modern Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its author is Haji Khalifa or Katib Çelebi, an Ottoman historian and bibliographer from the mid-17th century. The map is in the autograph of the first version of his work Cosmography (Cihânnümâ) from 1648, preserved in the Austrian National Library in Vienna. The aim of the paper was to establish how the mentioned geographical area was observed by the Ottoman cartographer, what is the possible reason for the creation of the map and what were the sources of information contained in it. As the map was made during the Candian War, after the fall of Klis into Venetian hands in 1648, it is possible that the author himself made the map with the aim of visualizing the Ottoman border in the Dalmatian hinterland and explaining its significance in the Ottoman centre. Solid precision in positioning and listing local toponyms, the direction of providing road communications as well as the content of marginal notes on the map, indicate that the author probably consulted someone familiar with local circumstances.

This article gathers the key contributions of visual studies in the study of cartography, and its relations with critical cartography and colonial studies. Coming from a critique of the harlean method, the possibilities of a hybrid methodology in the analysis of these documents are highlighted, one that incorporates its visual and textual aspects. Though the analysis of a plane for the Paraguay governance towards the mid-17th century, we exercise an approach to these documents that can speak not only for its visual or textual content, but for the regime of visuality of which they were part, and the role this regime assigned to both indigenous and non-indigenous groups.

This paper sketches an interpretive approach to the scarce presence of relics in Santiago de Chile during the Colonial period. Taking stock of conventual sources and of some testamentary dispositions, the article delineates the discreet life that those sacred remains (and their associated visual objects) led within the religious life of the era. Through the prevailing presence of the ligna crucis and the occasional advent of other pious remains, the text unveils the widespread dissemination that foreign relics enjoyed during the Counterreformation, which allowed them even to reach the southern border of the Hispanic Empire.

Based on the original documents from the State Archives in Zadar and reports of apostolic visitors for Dalmatia from the 16th and 17th centuries, this paper analyzes the joining of Confraternity of Leather-Workers and Confraternity of St. Anthony the Abbot to the Church of the Holy Savior (subsequently renamed the Church of St. Anthony the Abbot) in Zadar: the documents analyzed indicate that the Confraternity of Leather-Workers moved to the Church of the Holy Savior earlier than the Zadar-based historian Carlo Federico Bianchi contends and that it certainly flourished under the auspices of this church earlier than the Confraternity of St. Anthony the Abbot. Contrary to Bianchi’s claims, this paper will prove that Confraternity of St. Anthony the Abbot joined the Church of the Holy Savior later than Confraternity of Leather-Workers and that the church was renamed the Church of St. Anthony the Abbot not earlier than in the 17th century. And finally, the paper will show that the interrelations and rights of the two confraternities at the Church of St. Anthony the Abbot were regulated by the Archbishop of Zadar and the apostolic visitor and reformer of Dalmatia, Ottaviano Garzadori.
