THE ACADEMIA BESSARION


takes its name from discovering over sixty years ago a scholar's house in a garden, and coming to realize it was Cicero's definition of happiness as having a library and a garden. We sought something more fluid than a print publication, one that allowed for human voices, productive interactions among scholars, coming together as they did in Renaissance Academies and also in Parisian bluestocking salons, where women as well as men, bass and treble, could be heard. We wanted international spontaneity, a non-Brexit going beyond boundaries and frontiers, a thinking outside of boxes, a scholarly journal transgressing that genre, reaching outside of race, gender, class, and being human voices echoing, dialoguing with, those of the past: classical, medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, modern, in a living continuum. We use the Cardinal Bessarion and his casina in Rome, echoing Cicero's definition of happiness as a library in a garden, as our frame because of a long ago memory. Thus, we began a Zoom discussion group on Dante's Vita nova on Tuesday, 10 November 2020, at 8.00 p.m., European time, imagining ourselves as being in that edifice. Our alternate universe to the pandemic. The recorded Video of our first meeting is at https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion1.mp4; its transcript at https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion1.html. It is also translated into Italian. Following that, on Tuesday 8 December 2020 at 8,00 p.m. European time, we discussed Florence and the Seven Acts of Mercy: https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion2.mp4; its transcript at http://www.florin.ms/Bessarion2.docx. Our third meeting was held, December 5, on Pilgrimage and Literature, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion3.mp4. We held the fourth meeting, February 2, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion4.mp4, with Danuta Shanzer in Vienna on St Monegundis in the context of the Desert Fathers, etc. The fifth, March 2, was on the anti-slavery Abolitionists and Florence, particularly those in this Florentine so-called English Cemetery, which collects their books, its Powerpoint, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion5.pptx, and Zoom video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhozDNRi3SE (titled 'The Color of Stone' and needs proof of age because of nude statues!) The sixth, April 6, was on the Dantisti buried in this Cemetery, such as Joseph Garrow, Robert Davidsohn, Adolfo Mussafia, etc, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion6e.mp4 While May 4 was on Julian of Norwich with Cardinal Adam Easton, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion7.mp4. Then, June 1, on our Cardinal Bessarion, https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion8.mp4.

August 3rd was on the Bicameral Mind, literature, architecture and education at https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion11.mp4, in italiano a https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion11it.mp4. September 7 was with Luke Penkett on the Norwich Castle Manuscript at https://www.umilta.net/Bessarion12.mp4, suggesting you also look at https://www.umilta.net/Bessarion12.docx. Our thirteenth session was held on Julian's Editors, the manuscripts of Julian of Norwich's Showing of Love and their preservation: https://www.umilta.net/Bessarion13.mp4. https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion14.mp4 is sadly on Plagiary and the Gendering of Editions', which I wish I did not have to make. The 15th is on the 'Purple Gospels', https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion15.mp4 The 16th is 'From Graves to Cradles', https://www.florin.ms/Bessarion16.mp4.
