Abstract

A Church of England clergyman and biblical scholar, George Townsend (1788-1857) gained recognition for preparing chronological arrangements of both the Old and New Testament. First published in 1850, the present work is an intriguing account of his journey to Italy for an audience with Pope Pius IX, whom he intended to convert to Protestantism. Townsend's journal features details of his stay in Paris, where he was received by the city's archbishop, as well as remarks on the churches and clergy he encountered along the way. In Rome and the Vatican, he visited the main sites of interest while commenting on points of doctrinal divergence and the hospitality shown towards him. Warmly received by Pius IX, who chose to interpret the visit as ecumenical, Townsend inevitably failed in his ultimate objective. Tendentious and forthright, his work sheds light on a strain of English anti-Catholicism.

Abstract

Quelques mois après l’élection de Benoît XIV, les architectes de la Fabrique de Saint-Pierre de Rome engagèrent une série d’enquêtes de stabilité sur la coupole de la basilique. Elle présentait, depuis longtemps déjà, de nombreuses fissures. L’inquiétude s’étendit à la curie et, à l’automne 1742, elle était à son paroxysme. Le pape commanda alors une expertise à des savants réputés mais étrangers au microcosme romain de l’architecture. Les résultats de leurs travaux, présentés lors d’un spectacle de démonstration scientifique mettant en scène la maquette de Michel Ange restaurée pour l’occasion, ne firent que déclencher une onde de protestations qui s’étendit sur plusieurs années. La querelle initiale, confinée dans les cercles du palais apostolique, se constitua rapidement en une controverse scientifiquement argumentée qui traversa avec une grande violence les catégories professionnelles et les clans intellectuels. Cependant, la richesse du dossier montre qu’il ne peut être réduit à un simple débat policé sur des questions techniques. Il fait apparaître la très grande diversité de conceptions sur l’architecture en vigueur dans la Rome du milieu du XVIIIe siècle, motivées par des positions identitaires, intellectuelles, religieuses et politiques discordantes.

Abstract

From his election in 1572 to his death in 1585, Pope Gregory XIII schooled in the upheavals in the Catholic Church that marked the preceding violent decades, spent a great deal of money on the building and restoration of Rome's streets, churches and public monuments. One major, unknown and unstudied monument, the three-story apartment rising up from the Vatican Palace called the Tower of the Winds, was built and painted to celebrate the most famous achievement of Gregory's papacy, the calendar reform. The program of the entire tower proclaimed with assurance not only Gregory's political and religious authority over the capital, but also Gregory's domination of nature, time, and past and present cultures. Its innovations in architecture and decoration, efflorescent Flemish landscapes in all of its seven rooms and its wider religious and political purpose in the culture of Gregorian Rome and the Counter-Reformation, are all subjects of the book.
