      Jáchym z Fiore (asi 1135–1202). Život, názory a dílo. Teolog naděje, kalábrijský mnich Jáchym z Fiore, který bude brzy blahořečen, je dnes již rehabilitovaný pečlivým vědeckým zkoumáním jeho skutečných spisů. Opěvovaný Dantem jako moudrý muž, nesprávně hodnocený filosofy coby „utopický znalec příchodu Antikrista“, myslitel, jenž chtěl hovořit o souvislostech mezi smyslem lidských dějin a chválou za Boží dobrodiní, je představen italským specialistou, který působivě vykresluje jeho značně dramatický život.

      Jáchym z Fiore
    • Nel mondo contemporaneo i nomi di Tristano e Isotta devono sicuramente parte della loro fama all'opera musicale di Wagner, ma la loro vicenda affonda in una sorta di "trama narrativa" che ha preso forma in più opere letterarie di epoca medievale. Quella di Thomas - databile intorno al 1170 - è chiamata "versione cortese", perché alle sofferenze degli amanti è dato un significato, un carattere, che discende appunto dalle concezioni dell'"amor cortese". Questo mito dell'amore fatale è sopravvissuto al mondo medievale grazie anche alle molte rivisitazioni romantiche e non ha ancora cessato di avvincere e affascinare.

      Hidden Writing and Images in Manuscripts and Portraits (Boethius, Cassiodorus, Justinian, Theodora, Theodoric)

      The almost invisible images of a hitherto unknown painter called Eusebius, who worked in San Vitale Ravenna and in Vivarium, are a gallery of portraits of his famous contemporaries such as Theodoric, Vitiges, Amalasunta and a visual commentary of Justinian’s tyrannical behaviour. Living between two ages, without belonging to either, this solitary man represents the fullest embodiment of a type of cultural “hybridisation” that is well attested throughout history. Eusebius is a spiritual brother of those “hybrid” artists, who have left extraordinary examples of “grotesques” populated by fantastic beings. After having embodied for so long the unbiased tolerance which had been the core of his own life and those of his companions in Ravenna: that mixture of confidentiality, intelligence, pointed irony, fantasy, and – why not? – touch of madness which had helped him to navigate through the troubled waters of his age, always leaving at the margins the demons who haunted him.
