O cruzeiro e a corrente

  • Categories: Art

Não obstante esta ser uma instituição recente, se comparada à temporalidade das outras instituições que compõem o Ministério da Defesa no Brasil, a ESG também se caracteriza como uma das mais complexas, pois sua concepção diversa possibilita analisá-la por abordagens, ângulos e campos do conhecimento distintos. Esta tese procura evidenciar a influência maçônica presente na prática pedagógica e simbólica da Escola Superior de Guerra, especialmente no período 1949-1961, marcado pela sua formação e da construção de suas bases pedagógico-filosóficas, principalmente pela ação do Almirante Benjamin Sodré. Pretende-se ressaltar que a incorporação de práticas maçôni...

In Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century Eloisa Dodero aims at documenting the history of numerous private collections formed in Naples during the 18th century, with particular concern for the “Neapolitan marbles” and the circumstances of their dispersal. Research has thus made it possible to formulate a synthesis of the collecting dynamics of Naples in the 18th century, to define the interest of the great European collectors, especially British, in the antiquities of the city and its territory and to draw up a catalogue which for the first time brings together the nucleus of sculptures reported in the Neapolitan collections or coming from irregular excavations, most of which shared the destiny of dispersal, in some cases here traced in definitive fashion.

  • Publisher: BRILL

The administration of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily has long been held up to be the most advanced government in twelfth-century Europe. However, until now there has been considerable confusion about how this bureaucracy actually functioned, whether it developed in the twelfth century or retained the form given it by Roger II; whether it had regional variations, what the identity of different departments of government was, who did what within the structures of government, and what the relationship between the Greek, Arabic and Latin elements within the administration was. This work goes a long way to sorting out these problems. The author's meticulous work with chronicles and charters enables him to clear up many problems and mysteries in the administration of finance and justice and to identify such uncertainties as remain. This fundamental work forms a basic reference point for future studies of Norman Sicily and of government in the high Middle Ages.
