Established at the end of the 16th century for the donation of two marian icons, the indigenous brotherhood of Santa María de Consolación de Utrera settled in the Merced's convent in Lima. Since that time the indigenous developed in this church a wide series of cults, with the approval of the friars. However, until the middle of the 18th century we have no documentary evidence that all these liturgical acts and festivities were regulated by constitutions. This organization fixed all the cults in the annual calendar and stipulated the cost of each one of them, thus revealing its gradation. Analyze these celebrations, their importance in the life of this indigenous brotherhood and financially verify that they were carried out, is the purpose of this work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The saying “Coffee comes from Yemen” gives information about the origin of Turkish coffee and is well known in Turkey, being quoted in a folk song in Turkish. However, Egypt being an important stop on the coffee trade route from Yemen to İstanbul is not well known. Cairo, the administrative center of Egypt, and other port cities were important stops for the coffee trade, as well as places where coffee was extensively consumed. Since African cultures and civilizations are not generally the focus of studies on the Ottoman Empire, the number of studies on the period when the Ottoman Empire ruled the Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts of Africa is quite small. Cultural studies, in particular, is also a neglected field in Ottoman-African research. However, since Egypt was a key location in the coffee trade and played an important role in the introduction of “Turkish coffee culture and tradition,” inscribed to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013, to different cultures, studying the culture of coffee and coffeehouses in Egypt is of utmost importance. In this regard, Evliya Çelebi’s Book of Travels is a unique source. Evliya Çelebi, who lived in the 17th century and traveled to various places from Europe to the Caucasus and from the Arabian deserts to Egypt, brought together his observations in his Book of Travels. This is an exceptional source on the history of coffee trade and culture, describing the culture of coffee and coffeehouses in Egypt in detail, including narratives about the emergence of coffee and the religious views on coffee consumption, depicting coffee as appealing and accessible to all segments of society, detailing the elements considered important in coffee presentation, and explaining the functions of coffeehouses. While traveling throughout Egypt, Evliya Çelebi counted at least one coffeehouse at almost every single stop, he emphasized the gatherings for entertainment held in relatively larger coffeehouses in big cities, and he described coffee culture as a sine qua non for people of all levels. For this reason, in this study, the text of Evliya Çelebi’s Book of Travels is evaluated as a compilation and the culture of coffee and coffeehouses in Egypt is discussed in a comprehensive way. Evliya Çelebi’s text is compared here with other travel writings of historically similar periods, and the descriptions of Evliya Çelebi are evaluated together with archival documents. Thus, this study aims to fill an important gap in the historical adventures of this beverage, which is still a part of our lives today, by crossing centuries and the boundaries of prohibitions.

The excavation and reconstruction of the ca. 1638 Waterman site is providing the first comprehensive and detailed look at the architecture and household material culture of an early period Pilgrim house in Plymouth Colony. The small vernacular house was of earth-fast, post-in-ground, and palisaded-wall construction, and burned down in a catastrophic fire after only a short period of occupation. The archaeological features, artifact patterns, and historical documents are integrated with 17th-century anthropomorphic architectural metaphors to reconstruct the house's architecture and the various domestic activities that occurred within and around the house, including foodways, expressions of gender roles, environmental adaptation, and English and Native American cultural exchange.

The seventeenth century was a time when large economic transformations had direct consequences on people's everyday lives. Increased economic pressure was put on rural populations, which affected their management of the resources that they owned in common. This paper examines how peasant communities managed commonly owned forests in Finland during the seventeenth century. The focus is placed on North Ostrobothnia, where large-scale tar production and widespread timber cutting took place to meet the growing need of European states for forest products. Through the study of district court protocols, this article analyses how peasant communities responded to and coped with the new economic climate of the period while local authorities enforced royally sanctioned restrictions and outside interest groups raised demands on what the peasantry could provide. Consequently, the peasantry formalised previously informal rules, regulated cutting activities in relation to the taxable capacity of the peasant households, and re-established borders, which offset privatisation.

Due to the favourable dynastic policy in 16th century, the Habsburgs became one of the most potentruling families of Europe. Even though their expansion on Western Europe (Burgundy, Netherlands, Spain and its properties: Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, New World colonies, northern Italy, Portugal) was all most seamless, it was not this smooth when it comes to expansion on Central Europe (Czechia, Hungary, the Crown and Lithuania). The ruleship in Habsburgs’ trophies of Western Europe was heritable and the mentioned countries of Central Europe were elective monarchies. This relation between a way of expansion and a political system in a certain country was also noticed by Polish authors from the first half of the 17th century: Jakub Sobieski (1591-1646), Albrycht Stanisław Radziwiłł (1593-1656) and Stanisław Kobierzycki (ok. 1600-1665). All three of them were referring to the Habsburgian expansion in the XVI century and its main directions. Radziwiłł and Sobieski were writing from the perspective of a chronicler, mostly depicting factual evidence concerning stages of the Habsburg’s expansion in the previous century, Stanisław Kobierzycki created in his work his own, new, interesting historiographic construction. The time perspective let the authors show a complete vision of expansion, indicate its directions and present a subjective opinions on the Habsburgs’ activities in certain countries, especially in Hungary, Czechia, the Crown and Lithuania. Habsburgowie dzięki korzystnej polityce dynastycznej w ciągu XVI wieku wkroczyli do grona najpotężniejszych rodów panujących Europy. O ile ekspansja w Europie Zachodniej (Burgundia, Niderlandy, Hiszpania i jej posiadłości: Neapol, Sycylia, Sardynia, kolonie w Nowym Świecie, północna Italia, Portugalia) udała się Habsburgom praktycznie bezproblemowo, to nie można tego powiedzieć o ekspansji w kierunku Europy Środkowej (Czechy, Węgry, Korona i Litwa). Habsburskie zdobycze w Europie Zachodniej miały władzę dziedziczną, natomiast w Europie Środkowej wspomniane państwa były monarchiami elekcyjnymi. Tą zależność pomiędzy sposobem ekspansji a ustrojem danego państwa zauważyli także polscy autorzy z I połowy XVII wieku: Jakub Sobieski (1591-1646), Albrycht Stanisław Radziwiłł (1593-1656) oraz Stanisław Kobierzycki (ok. 1600-1665). Wszyscy trzej w swoich dziełach z perspektywy stulecia odnosili się do ekspansji habsburskiej w XVI wieku i jej głównych kierunków. O ile Radziwiłł i Sobieski piszą z pozycji kronikarza i głównie przedstawiają faktografię dotyczącą etapów ekspansji Habsburgów w poprzednim stuleciu, to Stanisław Kobierzycki stworzył bardzo ciekawą własną konstrukcję historiograficzną, którą przedstawił w swoim dziele. Perspektywa czasowa pozwoliła autorom na przedstawienie pełnego obrazu ekspansji w omawianym przez autora okresie, wskazanie jej kierunków i przedstawienie subiektywnych ocen działań habsburskich w poszczególnych krajach, szczególnie z naciskiem na Węgry, Czechy, Koronę i Litwę.

Abstract The background of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring (c. 1665, Mauritshuis) has, until recently, been interpreted as a flat dark space. The painting was examined in 2018 as part of the research project The Girl in the Spotlight using a combination of micro- and macro-scale analytical techniques. The stratigraphy of the background was determined from samples mounted as cross-sections, and its material composition was analysed using electron microscopy and chromatographic techniques. The underlayer contains mainly charcoal black, and the glaze contains two organic colourants—indigo and weld—and a copper drier. Deterioration of the glaze has made features in the background difficult to discern with the naked eye. Complementary imaging techniques were able to visualise Vermeer’s signature, and the suggestion of folded fabric (possibly a curtain) on the right side of the painting. The distribution of the layer(s) in the background were imaged using: infrared reflectography (900–1100 nm), multi-scale optical coherence tomography scanning, macroscopic X-ray fluorescence and 3D digital microscopy. Vermeer applied the black underlayer vigorously with overlapping brushstrokes that varied in thickness. When he applied the glaze on top, it levelled out to make a smooth flat surface. The visual effect of the background contrasts the figure of the Girl and projects her forward in space, closer to the viewer.

Résumé : Au XVIe siècle, les succès acquis au Japon par l’Église catholique ont été fort précaires. Dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, l’archipel rompt ses relations commerciales avec les puissances ibériques et les communautés catholiques connaissent la répression ; celles-ci sont rapidement coupées de leurs élites et le catholicisme passe progressivement à la clandestinité. Peu de chercheurs se sont interrogés sur le regard que portaient les premières générations de crypto-catholiques (ou chrétiens cachés) sur leur apostasie formelle. Dans cet article, on montrera que le message exclusif des missionnaires ayant pris racine au Japon, la transition forcée vers le secret s’est accompagnée d’une recrudescence des tensions sotériologiques au sein de la chrétienté. Abstract: The successes obtained by the Catholic Church in Japan in the 16th century were precarious. In the first half of the 17th century, the Shogunate ended its commercial relationship with the Iberian states and the Catholics communities had to endure suppression. They were swiftly cut off their religious and lay elites; Catholicism gradually became a secret religion. Few scholars have reflected on the perception the first generations of hidden Catholics (or hidden Christians) had of their formal apostasy. I argue that the exclusivist stance of the Church had taken root in Japan. For this reason, the transition to secrecy came along with outbreaks of soteriological tensions within Christendom. Resumen: El éxito logrado por la Iglesia Católica en el Japón del siglo XVI fue muy precario. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII, el archipiélago rompió sus relaciones comerciales con las potencias ibéricas y las comunidades católicas fueron perseguidas; rápidamente, estas fueron separadas de las élites y la religión cristiana pasa a ser progresivamente clandestina. Pocos investigadores han cuestionado la forma con la que las primeras generaciones de criptocatólicos (o cristianos ocultos) consideraron su apostasía formal. En este artículo, se mostrará que con el mensaje exclusivo de los misioneros que arraigó en Japón, la transición forzada al secreto se acompañó de un aumento de las tensiones soteriológicas dentro de las comunidades cristianas.

The study first briefly outlines European and indigenous historiographic productions examining the relationship between dreams and death. It also focuses on a semiotic definition of the space of sleep and dream on the basis of period printed sources and manuscripts. The core of the paper consists of an overview and subsequent typology of the interconnections between sleep and death, as it emerges from the early modern Czech and Saxon sources.

Resumo "L'espèce de journal" deixado por Marie Du Bois (1601-1679) parece se situar na categoria “escritos do foro íntimo”, mas é utilizado neste artigo para questionar o fundamento dessa categoria. Partindo da pergunta sobre as perspectivas de transmissão presentes neste texto, trata-se de medir sua capacidade de assegurar a presença distanciada de uma experiência. Mas a percepção desta presença recoloca a questão sobre o ato de leitura que somos capazes de produzir, a três séculos e meio de distância. A partilha do sentido como presença do passado - a impressão de “ver” o que é contado - depende de escolhas de escrita operadas pelo autor, cuja eficácia atravessa o tempo: diálogos, narrativas “romanescas”, traços autobiográficos. Assim, é a relação entre testemunho e literatura, abordada a partir da noção de “sociedade na literatura”, que postula uma continuidade situada, ou seja, historicamente observável.

Introduction. The article investigates the issue of the exchange of captives between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth after the Truce of Deulino conclusion on December 1 (11), 1618. This truce marked the end of the Time of Troubles in the Moscow State and established peaceful relations between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for 14 years. The author analyzes the circumstances of the exchange of captives, and also highlights main problems arising in the course of implementing the agreements. Materials. The study uses unpublished documents of the Ambassadorial Prikaz: record lists, petitions, lists of contract records stored in the form of columns and books in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Documents in funds No. 79 “Relations with Poland” and No. 141 “Prikaz Affairs of Old Years”. Results. The Truce of Deulino provided the solution of two urgent issues: transfer of seven border cities and their uezds with subsequent delimitation of the border and exchange of captives. Over the course of time, the first agreements were reached only partly. Admittedly, castles smoothly passed to the Polish-Lithuanian possession, but because of mutual claims the border at the Trubchevsk-Novgorod-Seversk-Bryansk and the Vitebsk-Toropets lines became the part of the Treaty of Polyanovka (1634), which put an end to the Smolensk war. There were problems with the exchange of captives as well, which occurred more than three months later. However, the only culprit here was the Polish-Lithuanian side.

The aim of this paper is to analyze a work of art belonging to the collection of textiles of the Medeiros e Almeida House-Museum collection. It is a wall mirror of English production, with an embroidery frame, made in the third quarter of the 17th century, whose decoration includes a depiction of King Charles II and Queen Catherine of Braganza. The originality of this piece consists in the type of needlework, called stumpwork, that it is the result of the combination of both direct and applied embroidery on pads, creating a relief effect. Produced with a wide variety of techniques and materials, the stumpwork was produced during the 17th century. In order to understand and contextualize the work of art, aspects such as the period and the reasons that gave birth to this curious kind of work, the techniques and materials used, the themes addressed and the respective iconographic sources were approached.

A historiografia que trata sobre a inserção dos juízes de fora, credita a criação desses cargos a uma tentativa da coroa de aumentar seu controle sobre as câmaras de importantes cidades. No presente artigo pretendemos demonstrar que as motivações das autoridades régias ultrapassavam a esfera econômica. A aplicação da justiça na colônia estava numa situação muito precária, e era necessário intervir para alterar esse contexto. Além da nomeação dos juízes de fora, outras medidas foram empreendidas no período visando uma reestruturação do judiciário do Brasil. Historiography dealing with the insertion of juízes de fora credits the creation of these offices to an attempt by the crown to increase its control over the chambers of important cities. In this article, our aim is to show that the motivations of the royal authorities went beyond the economic sphere. The application of justice in the colony was in a very precarious situation, and it was necessary to intervene to change this context. In addition to the appointment of the juízes de fora, other measures were designed to evaluate the proper administration of justice in the colony.

The Benedictine Pierre Grimaud (? - before 1674), from the monastery of Mas-Grenier, is the author of a life in verse of Saint Benedict, Le Dret cami del Cél, published in Toulouse in 1659. In some 12,000 lines divided into six books and 48 songs, the author is inspired by the Dialogues of Gregory the Great. Each episode of St Benedict's life is preceded by a section entitled “Mouralo”, explaining how Christians should interpret the different moments of the saint's exemplary life. The biographical account contains vast scenes of a very baroque aesthetic that today might be described as burlesque. Stylistically, Grimaud is following the Toulouse poet Pierre Godolin (1580-1649), to whom he implicitly pays tribute. This similarity to Godolin's work establishes a link of proximity and familiarity with the reader, intended to facilitate the assimilation of the post-Tridentine religious and moral message.

This article is an attempt at checking the hypothesis about the Spanish infl uence in religious literature of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealt of the 17th century. The examples dealt with are the Uniate instruction on the administration of the church sacraments (Russ. Наука о седми тайнах церковных) published in Vilnius in 1617/18 as part of Trebnik, and the fi rst printed Orthodox manual on moral theology Мир с Богом человеку (Kiev 1669). One of the sources for the fi rst text was the treatise Summa de Instructione Sacerdotum (also known as Summa casuum conscientiae) by the Spanish Jesuit Francisco de Toledo (1534–1596); its basis was a course in moral theology at Collegium Romanum in Rome. The compilers of the Vilnius text made both literal translations of the Spanish text and paraphrases of separate fragments close to the Latin original. The also complemented the fragments taken from de Toledo with speculations on church rituals, quotations from patristic texts, statutes of ecumenical and local councils as well as from civil legal sources. Despite the fact that the Vilnius treatise emerged from Uniate circles, it came to be widely spread among the Orthodox, and it was by means of this text that certain fragments of de Toledo’s treatise found their way into Мир с Богом человеку. Taking this into account, it is clear that in the interpretation of the seven deadly sins and in the dissertation about alms the compilers made direct use of de Toledo’s treatise. Later, both texts came to be sources for the hand-written compilation on the sacraments by the Muscovite bookman Evfi my Chudovsky (Евфимий Чудовский), who thus contributed to the dissemination of de Toledo’s treatise in the Muscovite tradition as well.

Resumen: Las entradas triunfales han sido una de las fuentes más importantes en el análisis de la cultura y sociedad europea en la Edad Moderna. El propósito del presente artículo es estudiar cómo se creó la imagen del hereje, centrándonos en el caso protestante, en dichos eventos así como realizar un intento de cartografía de dicha construcción visual con el fin de conocer en qué lugares tuvo una mayor repercusión. Résumé: Les entrées triomphales ont constitué une des sources les plus importantes pour l’analyse de la culture et de la société européennes à l’époque moderne. Cet article étudie comment s’est forgée l’imagerie de l’hérétique, en privilégiant le cas protestant, lors de ces solennités. Il entend également poser les jalons d’une cartographie de ces constructions visuelles afin de savoir où elles eurent un plus grand impact. Abstract: The Royal entries can be considered like an important source to study the European society and its cultural development in the Early Modern period. This paper analyses, firstly, how the image of the heretic, mainly the protestant one, was created in these events. The second aim of this research is to map these representations in order to reconstruct the Visual Culture and to know in which areas and chronology had a deeply development.

Book Review of: Contrafacta. Modes of music re-textualization in the late sixteenth and seventeenth century, eds. Marina Toffetti, Gabriele Taschetti, Kraków 2020

An astrologer predicted to Marie-Louise Gonzaga that she would marry a king. After several unsuccessful attempts, she became ‘Queen of the Scythians’ on her marriage to Władysław IV Vasa. This French ‘précieuse’ who had frequented the fashionable Hôtel de Rambouillet salon discovered a country about which she knew nothing and where she was not welcome. During more than twenty years as wife of Władysław IV (1646–1648) and afterwards of John II Casimir Vasa (1648–1668), she became an influential figure at the court of Warsaw as it was introduced to French culture. She remained unpopular until her death in 1667, having exhausted her energies in trying to reform Polish institutions and to bring a French successor to the throne, the prince de Condé or his son the duc d’Enghien.

The work named "Nuzhat al-Qulûb" one of the important works of his period and written by Hamd-allāh Mustawfī was translated from Persian into Ottoman Turkish under the name of the Translation of the Nuzhat al-Qulûb in the 17th century. With this study, our aim is to introduce the work named the Translation of the Nuzhat al-Qulûb to the world of science, as well as to contribute to the language research of the 17th century Ottoman Turkish. This work, translated for the governor of Bitlis Abdal Khan bin Ziauddin Khan before 1650, contains important information that can shed light on different branches of science. The work, which is encyclopaedic, consists of different sections. Among these sections, the geography section constitutes our research subject. The geography section has remarkable details in terms of being the section with the highest number of leaves and the information it gives about different geographies in that period (latitudes and longitudes of settlements, plants and fruits grown, climatic conditions, physical and psychological structures of people, income sources, etc.). Our study was formed as three main titles and sub-titles related to them. In the first part, we tried to give detailed information about the Persian original of the work, Nuzhat al-Qulûb, in the second part, the Translation of the Nuzhat al-Qulûb, and in the third part detailed information on the geography section of the work, the Translation of the Nuzhat al-Qulûb, which constitutes the essence of our research. The study was terminated with the evaluations made in line with the information obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By the terms of the agreement of 1666 between Browne and a group of Barbadian planters and their associates in Scotland, the foundation was laid for organised joint-stock-based commerce between the English sugar islands and Scotland. He was referred to as "Captain John Browne" and "John Browne, esquire",[6] but since the name is so common in England, Scotland and the colonies, his exact identity remains uncertain. Keywords: Scotland; St Vincent; Barbados; 17th century; Navigation Acts; sugar EN Scotland St Vincent Barbados 17th century Navigation Acts sugar 129 137 9 04/02/21 20210401 NES 210401 The entrepreneur John Browne has been noted by historians as an example of a Scot who participated in transatlantic enterprise prior to Scotland's political union with England in 1707. Along with Browne's patent of 1660 for refining sugar in Scotland came the desire to establish a stable Scottish-Caribbean trade in sugar that was not subject to the restrictions of the English Navigation Acts.

Le séminaire de Vác, nommé après Saint Charles Borromée et sa bibliothèque furent fondées par la donation de livres fournie par l’évêque Michel Frédéric Althann (1718–1734). La liste exhaustive des documents est fournie par le Regestum daté du 1er décembre 1719 : il s’agit de 17 ouvrages en 20 volumes. Le plus important des livres en question est sans doute l’Acta et decreta Synodi Diaecesanae Strigoniensis de Péter Pázmány (1629). L’exemplaire de cet Acta et decretum qui appartient aujourd’hui à la collection de la Bibliothèque Diocésaine de Vác est sans doute identique à celui qui figure dans le Regestum, puisque c’est le seul qui ait été imprimé avant 1719. La relieure de l’exemplaire en question est une feuille de la Bible de 42 lignes de Gutenberg, imprimée sur parchemin. A l’en croire la note – datée de 1643 – qu’on peut lire sur la relieure, le propriétaire du livre a été un certain István Károly. La feuille en parchemin fut attaché à l’exemplaire de l’Acta et decretum entre 1629 et 1643, selon toute probabilité à Sopron ou dans les environs de la ville. La maculature dégagée de la couverture est un fragment imprimé dans l’imprimerie d’Imre Farkas, à Csepreg. Károly Szabó (RMK I, 737) avait raison : il s’agit d’un fragment provenant des feuilles G et H des Evangeliomok és epistolák (Csepreg 1643). Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, aucun exemplaire ou fragment n’était connu de cette édition. Les Evangiles de 1643 sont parmi les derniers ouvrages qu’a produits l’imprimerie luthérien de Csepreg, puisque l’officine a été supprimée cette même année. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) was used to analyse five 17th and 18th-century bronze Dutch East India Company (VOC) cannon stored in the Huế Royal Antiquities Museum. They exist at the intersection of different relationships between the Vietnamese Trịnh Lords and the VOC, with analysis revealing variations in manufacturing quality and decoration. One cannon in particular, Cannon 54, exhibits significantly elevated iron content and background readings, suggesting heterogeneity caused by different origins. These standards suggest Cannon 54 was cast in a little-known Southeast Asian foundry rather than in the Dutch Republic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On the occasion of Lent 1633, a Mercuriale was published in Paris highlighting the shortcomings of the preachers. This first libellus was followed by a letter, Lettre ou Advis, criticizing it, and then by an Apology of the Mercuriale. Beyond the attacks and retaliation, this polemic through print refers to several types of analysis. First of all, it reflects a new place occupied by preaching in the context of the Catholic Reformation and Counter-Reformation that the capital was undergoing at the time. But beyond purely religious issues, it was also, through the printed word, the means of presenting and defending different conceptions of sacred eloquence. Although it remains difficult to identify their authors precisely, one can nevertheless take up the ecclesiological stakes, the rivalry between seculars and regulars as well as between old and new religious orders. These three texts also make it possible to shed light, beyond the form of quarrel and debate, on the injunctions of a literary nature, language correction, urbanity, but also on the performance expectations of the speakers that accompanied the flourishing of Catholic preaching in the 1630s.

Our paper reconstructs the way in which opera creators, both theorists and practitioners, conceive the relationship between words and gestures, by comparing texts that set down stage gestures in writing, between instruction and reception. It seems that they attribute to stage gestures an auxiliary function of communication, semantic clarification and pathetic amplification of affetti and ideas conveyed by words – as the recitar cantando is based on the primacy of the poetic text. We will then question in what way these concepts may condition the very genesis of poetic-dramatic writing. By analysing the stage direction and the relationship between narration and the direct mimesis of movement and gesture in librettos of Ottavio Rinuccini, we will question the notion of theatrical visibility, and its implication in terms of the hierarchy between verbal, musical and corporeal eloquence.

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.

The earliest history of the Swedish Realm's northern regions has long been contested in historiography. This article primarily analyses views in seventeenth-century Swedish historiography concerning the origins of Finns in this region, in terms of source usage and ethnic identities. Gothicist views, emphasizing Swedish greatness were based on biblical notions of a postdiluvial settlement, linking sources from classical antiquity to Sweden via etymological comparisons. Combined with a reliance on Icelandic sagas and the uncritical use of secondary sources, these notions gave rise, among others, to the idea of an ancient, partially Finnish, Amazon warrior realm in Ostrobothnia. Conceptions surrounding the origins of Birkarl tax collectors were mostly based on traditions collected in the early 1600s, and later that century, they became associated with a migration of Finns to the north thought to have taken place in the late 13th century. Finns were given a role in the region's history even within Gothicist historiography too. The ethnicity of these early settlements does not seem to have been overly emphasized though – indeed the boundary between Finns and Swedes was seen more as something fluid – indicating that ethnosymbolist theories of nationalism overstate the importance of ethnic identity in early modern Sweden.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper aims at assessing the frequency of dental non-metric traits in the 17th century population of Iaşicity (Romania). The analysed sample consists of 73 lower (mandibular) second molars (M2), and the evaluated non-metric characters are based on the criteria of Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). Considering the degree of the teeth wear, only the following non-metric traits were analysed: anterior fovea, groove patterns, cusp numbers and hypoconulid. The most common occlusal morphology in the analysed sample of mandibular second molar shave a pattern with four cusps and "+" groove. The fifth cusp is represented by large size hypoconulid and it is present in only 9.72% of the sample. The anterior fovea is present mostly in 41.1% of the dental sample; it has a large variability, dominating the molars with a weak ridge that connects the mesial faces of protoconid and metaconid cusps (score 1). This study is a preliminary one, and the analysis of non-metric characters will be extended to other archaeological human populations from Romania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
