TRANSLATIO NUMMORUM - The Perception of Classical Antiquity via Ancient Coins by Antiquaries in the Renaissance Jan Simane, Ulrike Eydinger, Lisa Hanstein In the age of Renaissance humanism, antique coins were not only favoured collectors' items but also played an important role in rediscovering classical antiquity. Humanists recognised for the first time the high value of these coins as a source for research in the fields of history, archaeology, geography, mythology and art history. This marked the beginning of numismatics as an academic discipline in its own right... PRO FIRENZE FUTURISTA - A digital research archive for futurism in Florence Lisa Hanstein, Jan Simane, Anka Ziefer, Johannes Holzmann The library of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz (Max-Planck-Institut) has developed an ambitious project to convert rare documents, books and journals from the period of Italian Futurism to digital format. The online archive project was presented February 2010 – on the occasion of the closing celebrations for the centenary of the first Futurist Manifesto.

This unique, extensive and painstakingly detailed collection, which was evidently compiled by a single, anonymous late 19th-century copyist, has become a popular tool used for the identification of coats of arms located on diverse structures such as palace façades, tombs and altarpieces... FIRENZE CITTÀ NOBILISSIMA - Topography and Representation Jan Simane, Costanza Caraffa, Laura Cirri, Verena Gebhard, Stephanie Hanke, Lisa Hanstein, Alexander Auf der Heyde, Thomas Frangenberg The rich history of the city of Florence has long been a focus of research for a vast international network of scholars coming from a variety of disciplines. The outstanding position attained by Florence in the early modern period as a center of art, culture, literature and science, largely in connection with the Medici family's supremacy, has ever since drawn special attention to this era.... |
