Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans, such as paganism, licentiousness, greed, gluttony, and violence. The catastrophic demise of the Vesuvian sites has become inexorably linked with the understanding of antiquity, turning Pompeii into a fundamental allegory for Apocalypse, to which all subsequent disasters (natural or man-made) are related, from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy, as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past. ; 11.2 X 9.8 X 1.0 inches; 256 pages; Oversized

Pergamena posteriore.</p><p>Seconda edizione del dialogo albertiano - meglio conosciuto sotto il titolo di <em>Theogenius</em> - dopo quella che priva di dati tipografici ISTC cataloga come: "Florence 1500" cfr. L.B. Alberti <em>Opere volgari</em> II <em>Rime e trattati morali</em> a cura di C. Grayson Bari 1966 p. 409.</p><p>Il <em>Theogenius</em> rappresenta un capitolo poco noto della fortuna e dell'influsso dell'epicureismo nel Quattrocento. In questo dialogo infatti l'Alberti illustra diversi temi dell'etica epicurea e <strong>traduce alcuni versi del <em>De rerum natura</em> di Lucrezio </strong>S. Gambino <em>Alberti lettore di Lucrezio: motivi lucreziani nel "Theogenius"</em> "Albertiana" IV 2001 pp. 69-84.</p><p>Leon Battista Alberti's <em>Theogenius</em> revived and revised the ancient view developed in the Hellenistic age according to which philosophy aims to form rather than inform people showing them how to cultivate a specific attitude towards existence through a rational comprehension of the nature of humanity and its place in the cosmos. This view of philosophy as a way of life was challenged by the development of scholastic philosophy seen as a body of speculative doctrines and professional skills ancillary to the superior wisdom of theology. Nevertheless it survived thanks to Renaissance humanists like Petrarch Alberti Erasmus and Montaigne. <strong>On the influence of Lucretius on Italian Humanism after Poggio Bracciolini's discovery of the only surviving manuscript of <em>De rerum natura</em> 1417</strong> cf. A. Brown <em>The Return of Lucretius to Renaissance Florence</em> Harvard University Press 2010 and S. Greenblatt <em>The Swerve: How the Renaissance Began</em> London 2011.</p> Appresso Paulo Girardo, [colophon:] per Venturino Rosinello
