The Flagellation of Christ

Silvia Ronchey , professor of Byzantine Civilization at the University of Siena, in his book "The Enigma of Piero " argues that we need to correctly interpret this picture from " Pappuccio red " worn by Pontius Pilate. This particular bear the framework of Piero della Francesca in the right context, ie: not the real scourging of Christ, nor the assumption that the picture represents a conspiracy against Oddantonio II, but what everyone knew was in the fifteenth century of the flogging of the metaphor Constantinople under siege by Turkish part of Murad II.

Interpretation of Silvia Ronchey

article from Wikipedia . Org ref: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellazione_di_Cristo_ (Piero_della_Francesca )

For Silvia Ronchey other scholars and the board would represent the political message of John Bessarion, who opened the delegate Byzantine the Council of Ferrara and Florence of 1438 - 1439, for the reunification of Eastern and Western churches. The scourge of Christ as the distant Constantinople, which was then besieged by the Ottomans, as in a broader sense the whole of Christianity.

Left, figure with the turban who attends the scene, would be the turkish sultan, that Murad II, while Pontius Pilate should identify the ' Byzantine emperor John VIII Palaeologus seduto, con calzature color porpora , che solo gli Imperatori bizantini potevano portare in tutto l' Impero bizantino , era come un loro simbolo Imperiale, che proveniva dalla sfarzosità della porpora, colore molto costoso nell'antichità. Le tre figure sulla destra rappresenterebbero da sinistra, Bessarione , il fratello dell'Imperatore bizantino, Tommaso Paleologo (scalzo perché ancora non imperatore e quindi non poteva indossare i calzari di porpora dei Basileus ) e Niccolò III d'Este , landlord of the council. When Piero della Francesca painted the table were made in the past 20 years by the council and Constantinople was taken by the Ottomans in 1453 . Pope Pius II Piccolomini at the suggestion of Bessarion then had initiated a crusade, which the appeal but said little. Here, the board of Piero della Francesca ritrarrebbe exactly the time for discussion of this second intervention, historically occurred at a meeting called Council of Mantua (here is a possible meaning for the phrase convenerunt in unum ). Oltre al messaggio religioso egli rappresenta un tema politico attuale nell'ambiente romano dove la tavola venne probabilmente dipinta, come una specie di manifesto del ricongiungimento fra Roma e Costantinopoli, collegandosi ad altre opere, prime fra tutte la Cappella dei Magi di Palazzo Medici Riccardi a Firenze .

Calzature color porpora , che distinguevano gli Imperatori Byzantine by Westerners. This is a detail which is also found in the Tarot " Visonta Sforza" attributed to Bonifacio Bembo, the same painter who worked in the workshop of the Cremonese Bembo that the effort had commissioned by Trecchi cards Triumph . In a deck that you think before this , therefore carried out before the Council which led the Byzantines in Italy , the paper 's Emperor is very different. This emperor is identified Sigismund of Luxembourg who died Dec. 9, 1437 just before the council Ferrara Firenze . Looking at the map you will notice that like the other emperor wears a hat with the emblem of the imperial eagle has the same objects in the hands symbol of temporal power, but it has purple shoes, facts
Sigismund of Luxembourg was the emperor ' of the West.

In this site you can found that all the Byzantine emperors are represented with the " Pappuccio red" and
for a further comparison also shows the Emperor's another bunch called BBV Brera - Brambilla Visconti . Again we see that the shoe is colored purple.

What Happens When You Get Herpes?

Cap.7 Searching for "clues"

When a clue is only a clue? For
Jessica Fletcher , star of the television series "Murder, She Wrote " there seems to rule:

is only a clue a clue ... two clues are a strange coincidence ... but three clues are more than sufficient to put us on the trail of the guilty. We share the


painting of Benozzo Gozzoli seen in the previous post, we shift the focus in the lower left, only a couple of heads from the bearded face of Giorgio Gemisto Plethon .
In which direction is Gemisto that many of the characters seem to turn our gaze, stands the figure of a young nobleman identified Sigismondo Malatesta .
The same Sigismondo Malatesta who is appointed in an official documents surfaced in the history of the Tarot .. . In 1451
Bianca Maria Visconti husband wrote to Francesco Sforza to send Sigismondo Malatesta a bunch of " those cards of triumphs that if they are in Cremona . Between 1450 and 1452 to the Treasurer of Duke's Antonio Cremona Trecchi Sforza commissioned " cards Triumph for zugare , de beautiful and ornate as you can with our arms ducal insignia et .

Reconstructing a history of so much time away, with very little documentation available to become a truly formidable.
For my part I have an idea, which originated from the assumption that
"the scheme " must have inspired a person endowed with intelligence and knowledge out of the ordinary and the reading of several books on medieval history, I came to suspect that this person could be George Gemisto .

First because reported by the press describes as the greatest of the philosophers of that time, so inspired by Cosimo de Medici to found a university in his honor, even considered the equal of Plato from which indeed takes the pseudonym Plethon .
Most scholars attribute to him, just the fact that it was a great inspiration to many Renaissance humanists, the merit of being the precursor of the Italian Renaissance.


Second
is because the place and time in which appeared the first deck of Triumphs with features that still survive today.
Plethon
arrived in Italy, more precisely in Ferrara in 1438, scholars put the final settlement with the 22 tarot cards that correspond to modern Marseilles between 1441 - 51 by painters of northern Italy, ( the deck Visconti-Sforza attributed to Bonifacio Bembo ) right after the passage of Gemisto in Italy. (coincidence?)
Another coincidence: it seems that Plethon not returned to Constantinople with the Byzantine delegation in 1439, when the council ended, but remained in Italy probably host of Sigismondo Malatesta for another two years. I want to point out that this may be more plausible, Malatesta was related with Paleologo , emperors of Byzantium, through his cousin Cleopas, who was to Mistra student the same Gemisto . It seems that the same Sigismondo became a devout disciple of Gemisto and the best evidence is the rebuilding of the church of San Francesco a Rimin i, che dal papa Pio II fu definita Tempio Pagano e scomunicata. Altra cosa a conferma di ciò, Sigismondo prima di morire intraprese una crociata in Morea con l'intento di riportare i resti di Pletone , per poi deporli in un sarcofago centrale all' esterno dello Temple itself. (not as few connections)
Third because reading the last few things the thought of Gemisto ( the discourse on the differences between Plato and Aristotle, above all and the Treaty of virtue ) I find them very relevant to the schema. Finally, trivially, because I found other candidates in the age and in designated places could fit this role better. Nevertheless
rimango aperto alla possibilità di sbagliarmi, anche se, più continuo la ricerca e più emergano indizi puntuali e precisi a conferma della giusta direzione.
Quella che inizialmente sembrava una fantasia, sorretta da un'impalcatura un po' vacillante, è diventata incredibilmente stabile nel confronto con la scoperta di Silvia Ronchey . L'enigma di Piero libro pubblicato nel 2006 per le edizioni Bur is an impeccable historical research, arising from the interpretation of an enigmatic picture of Piero della Francesca . The Ronchey , in his book reconstructs completely the scenario that frames with the history of Tarot. More precisely, in that context, the Dr . ssa Ronchey sees a political act to save what's left of the great Byzantine Empire fell under the Turkish May 29, 1453 (audio link).
In the Tarot, as well, see the construction of a path of self-knowledge, today would call the New Age path 's lighting can be seen the same project described by Ronchey , where the last card " the world" is portrayed an ideal world, as he said Gemisto , founded on truth and not on membership of a dogmatic creed.

Liver Formula Bleeding Between

Ch.6 was looking for a man and found an army, I was looking for in a city and found an empire in

Have you ever wondered what changes the world of men, our stories and our lives?
not the money, not power, not weapons, and even love, are ideas. Moses, Zoroaster , Jesus, Muhammad , Buddha , not their power but their ideas did change the world. ideas may change history "for better or worse .
Ideas can be conscious or unconscious, spontaneous or induced. When an idea is " knowingly induced" by other persons is defined "I . Religion is about to " religere " , relegate, confine ... a dogma . Dogma literally means "I think" .
The story of the Tower of Babel "metaphorically is absolutely true, at some point the man has forgotten the " Real Name " of things, has lost the ability to recognize the " true meaning of words ". When is that
"Faith" ... ( Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11.1 ) a word that should open the door to what is beyond, has become rather the cage in which imprison the faithful?
By faith we enhance or you suffer for the faith you kill, you die by faith, faith Relegated led to clashes with other faiths, too ' them relegated.
This is not the function of faith.
Archetype: the study of archetypes is the study of the origin of a function, a model, the pre-existing primitive form of a thought. Who inspired the scheme in the Tarot knew this, and saw in "beliefs" the loss of research, not only religious but also the atheistic belief or scientific had forgotten the original idea, so that lost the true concetto di "Fede" si rinchiusero in se stesse.
Quando analizzeremo nei dettagli lo schema ritroveremo questo pensiero, ed è da questo pensiero, che preso come indizio, ho tracciato la ricerca del nostro "uomo non comune" . Un uomo veramente ispirato, che tramite la sua conoscenza aveva l'aspirazione di risvegliare nelle coscenze l'idea di un mondo migliore, un mondo in cui, superata ogni stupidità delle credenze si potesse unificare sotto la bandiera della verità .


Da “Occidente Segreto” di Jay Kinney .
To get an idea of \u200b\u200bform mentis who created the Aracani more we can turn to works such as Philosophy of natural magic (also known as De occulta philosophia ) of Cornelius Agrippa , composta nel 1530. Vale la pena riportare a questo proposito il commento di Tim O' Neill : «[I maghi del Rinascimento] non solo parlavano letteralmente una lingua diversa , ma avevano una visione del mondo affatto diversa da quella di oggi».
ed aggiunge:
Da uomo del Rinascimento, Agrippa descrive la sua opera come una «dottrina dell'antichità, che nessuno, oserei dire, ha fin qui tentato di ricostruire». Sono convinto che gli Arcani maggiori o grandi Trionfi facciano parte dello stesso scenario, nel modo meno consapevole tipico di un secolo anteriore. Nella seconda metà del Trecento qualcuno, a Ferrara o altrove, stava cercando di rappresentare il mondo in un mazzo di carte un mondo fatto di linguaggio, di simboli, di frammenti di cristianesimo, neoplatonismo e credenze popolari. Probabilmente questo "qualcuno" era un laico o magari un chierico di mondo, capace di leggere l'universo in chiave filosofica e letteraria, consapevole dell'allegoria, wicked but not even the way medieval Orthodox.
Somehow - and this is another genuine mystery - the great triumph mingled with the minor arcana, resulting in a fourfold division in Europe (although some non-European clusters have five seeds, for example). This fourfold division reflected the ancient Indo-European division of society into priests, warriors, aristocrats and peasants / shepherds, with the addition of the new merchant class. In the language of modern Tarot, swords (aristocrats), cups (priests), sticks (farmers) and money (merchants).
Certainly the Major Arcana of the Tarot are the heart, and I believe them to be examined più approfondito all'interno del contesto dell'ermetismo tardomedievale o rinascimentale sarebbe illuminante. Non serve andare a cercare stanze immaginarie sotto la sfinge di Gaza: ci sono già abbastanza misteri sotto i nostri occhi. (tratto da “occidente segreto pag .120-121)
il 4 marzo del 1438 fece il suo ingrasso dalla porta di San Biagio a Ferrara l'imperatore Bizantino Giovanni VIII Paleologo , after him there was a large group of scholars (nearly 700). The call to
Ferrara was due to the attempt at reconciliation between the Church of the West with that of the East , or rather the church of Rome with the Byzantine church of Constantinople . The council , ended the following year in Florence (where he had moved because of an epidemic of plague broke out in Ferrara), with nothing done, or at least very little results, so that historians remember him only in broad lines for the small importance in the history of the church. Tutt 'another opinion but there comes a' historical context more specifically, that of magic.

In a book on the history of Magic "The Elixir and the Stone" of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh read:
But if the Council of Florence did little for the unity of Christians, had enormous consequences of another kind. To support the cause of the Orthodox Church, the emperor had done accompanied by more than 650 scholars and clerics who, expecting to have to make numerous references to important texts, they had brought with him a large number of original manuscripts in Greek. It was not only of biblical texts or Christian and some were still too unknown in the West. Among these were probably the most interesting works of Plato , of \u200b\u200bwhich the best known Western scholars il " Timeo ".
Uno degli eruditi più eminenti al seguito dell'imperatore bizantino era Giorgio Gemisto il quale, durante il concilio, adottò lo pseudonimo di " Pletone " (vedi anche: saz . Per approfondire "I misteri di Pletone ") . In passato si era distinto nell'insegnamento filosofico a Mistra , la terza città dell'impero, situata nel Peloponneso vicino al luogo in cui sorgeva l'antica Sparta. A parte il nome, Pletone era un filosofo "pagano", professava il sincretismo e in particolare il neoplatonismo , diffusosi ad Alessandria all'alba dell'era cristiana, e avversava il cristianesimo. Disconosceva Aristotele , icona filosofica per tanti teologi cristiani, e sognava di ridare vitalità e dinamismo alla tradizione pagana e all'antica Accademia Ateniese .
La legge bizantina prevedeva la pena di morte per quei cristiani che fossero tornati al pensiero o alla pratica pagana. Di conseguenza, Pletone fu obbligato a tenere per sé le proprie convinzioni e a confidarle solo a un gruppo limitato di iniziati fra i suoi pupilli di Mistra. Pletone sosteneva il primato dell'insegnamento orale, ricordando che sia Pitagora sia Platone preferivano la parola detta a quella scritta. Il concilio di Firenze rappresentò per lui una tribuna eccezionale e la sua permanenza nella città era destinata a provocare qualcosa di paragonabile a una reazione chimica, that would radically transformed, through a mutual influence, both the man and the place.
In previous years the council, Florence had become a center for studies of the most different. The secular culture had found an environment in which to develop, free from coercion and ecclesiastical stamped with guilt instilled by the doctrine of the Church. Human dignity and importance was given prominence hitherto unthinkable, and the phrase "studies humanitatis " had now become the applicant. Florence had become the cradle of thought and humanistic tradition.
parallel with the flowering of humanism, developed a reaction against Aristotle. The seeds were planted a century ago, when Petrarch had studied the Greek language and extolled by Plato. Although little is know of his work, at least by the secular public, Plato was immediately greeted with enthusiasm by the pupils and disciples of Petrarch. At the time of the Council of Florence, the Platonic philosophy, in spite of the few books available, it had become ingrained in the city as it was the ' humanism.
You can imagine how pleased Plethon , forced to keep secret until then, his interests, he immersed himself in this environment regenerating free of censorship and restrictions. It beo of its new intellectual freedom and not being obliged to attend all sessions of the council was able to attend to his liking Florentine humanists.
At the end of his stay in the city, Plethon had abandoned all pretense towards the Christian faith and, in at least one circle reserved , had expressed his true beliefs. Repudiated the Christian doctrine, Plethon explicitly embraced the doctrines which was heavily influenced by the ancient mystery schools . prophesied that within a few years, these dottrine si sarebbero diffuse in tutto il mondo, avrebbero soppiantato tutte le altre fedi e promosso l'unità del genere umano . Dichiarò, di conseguenza, che " Maometto e Cristo saranno dimenticati e la verità vera splenderà su tutte le terre del mondo" [ Woodhouse , George Gemistos Plethon , pag . 168]. La forza dirompente di questa affermazione è impressionante, in quanto Pletone non si limita a dire che il cristianesimo e l' Islam rappresentano Two versions of absolute truth, on the contrary, he argues that falsifications of the truth, and that their destruction is a necessary condition for the truth reborn.

After this long but necessary quote, I call on the witness stand a fierce opponent of Plethon and eyewitness; George Gennadius Scholarios . Mr
Scholarios tell us what you think of this defendant George Gemisto said " Plethon " ?
Scholarios : "... He was so taken by the opinions Ellen, who cared little to understand the fathers of Christianity beyond the exterior known. And he did not like all Christians who study books for Hellenic the language, read and learn before the poets and philosophers, then to follow them. And the reason was that, as we learned with precision by many who knew him well during youth. Having these inclinations, it is natural for the abandonment of divine grace the demons that had given it continues to become prone to error, which, moreover, happened to Julie and many other apostates. But then came the top of 'apostasy through a jew, to which he had turned to his knowledge of the works of Aristotle. He was a follower of Averroes and other Persian and Arab commentators of Aristotle's books that the Jews had translated into their language ... His name Elisseo and it was he who made it what it is. "
also listen to George Trapezunzio Trabzon, the counterpart of the Catholic delegation Gennadius Scholarios, informs us:
" I heard myself in Florence - was there for the council with the Greeks - and claimed that the whole world in a few years would receive one and the same religion with one heart, one mind and one preaching When I asked, and "Christian or Mohammedan?" he said "neither, but not different from that of the Gentiles." Outraged by these words I have always hated and I considered a poisonous snake, nor the last I could see and hear ... I've seen him in person, eh, if I saw him raise prayers and hymns to the sun, in which as the Creator of everything, and it enhances the worship of words with such elegance, sweetness of the composition, sounds of rhythm ... on the other hand gave divine honors to the sun with words so that even the most conservative scholars do not realize if it could have been only after careful and frequent observations. "

So, not only a character duct e ispirato, ma anche cauto e prevenuto; già il suo caro maestro Elisseo fu vittima di persecuzione e bruciato vivo sul rogo. Pletone arrivò in Italia in un clima di fervente rinnovamento culturale e vi trovò un ambiente molto recettivo. A Ferrara, esisteva già un' Accademia , guidata da Guarino Veronese , che inizialmente aveva stodiato con Emanuele Crisolora e che aveva approfondito i suoi studi in Grecia fra il 1403 e il 1408, presso lo stesso Pletone. Questo ambiente protetto permise a Pletone di lasciarsi andare a qualche sfogo, colpendo con parole biting the various doctrines and even if the true teachings revealed to them only to a limited circle of followers, what he said publicly glimpse leave very clear ideas on the willingness to go beyond those dogma that prevented the realization of an "ideal world " .

is the reason that leads him to see the accused more likely, motivated and able to hide in a bunch of figures usual a heretical teaching so .

Eotech In Front Of Handle

Cap.5 Identikit.

Historical knowledge starts coming into play only when the "witnesses" (the documents that the past provides the historian) and an examiner who li sappia opportunamente interrogare. Senza le domande appropriate i testimoni rimarrebbero muti, senza testimoni i quesiti rimarrebbero irrisolti. (1)
Un testimone può essere preciso, inesatto, accurato, approssimativo, veritiero, bugiardo, fallace, fazioso, imparziale, obiettivo ..., la sua testimonianza può essere intenzionale, casuale, involontaria, accidentale, artefatta , mirata, progettata ... i modi e i mezzi della trasmissione del "documento" possono essere svariati e diversi, come indefinitamente vari e differenti sono i canali e i supporti del comunicare. Comunque sia, la principale preoccupazione di uno storico è quella di far parlare i propri testimoni al order to understand what they say. In short, no "documents" can not be any historical knowledge.
(1)
Since the beginning of the Greek language, in the Homeric dialect, the word history ( Histor ) stands for "witness", or "he who sees" and thus "one who knows what has informed." The word "history" comes, therefore, the Indo-European root vid , which is in greek and Latin id video, and indicates how the first approach to the pass through empirical observation and description of what you see. Only later, when the data of experience is fixed in memory, it becomes possible to bring back something that others (the witness) said he had seen. The verb ion istoreo is, ultimately, to "investigate", "explore", "observe", "suspect", "research" on how things are to be informed and history ( historia ) means the description of the observable and, therefore, its transmission through the channels of collective memory.
writes Paolo Aldo Rossi in an article in P. . 55 of the aforementioned book "Tarot Art and Magic" and you can read here .
Who is the character in this picture?
addition to the witnesses, I add that we at least have an idea of \u200b\u200bwho we are looking for.
In all the readings on the Tarot, historical or esoteric, the conclusion is always the same: we will never know who invented them.

For my part, I've never been particularly attracted
the Tarot, though, going to esoteric circles and characters really fans, I've heard stories about many, all different, but nothing to convince or get to whet my curiosity. In all those stories no one could give me an exhibition fair, accurate, comprehensive and above all on these 22 cards.
When I saw the pattern for the first time, things changed. The Tarot came into a logic of thought. This did result in me the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing able to trace an 'identikit of the author.
Using the historical record has been confined in time and space in the appearance of the Tarot, but only through a correct interpretation of these figures we can draw the outlines or better "line- minds s "of their creator.
Tarot without the scheme are a set of figures may simply represent the ideas and morals of the time, for example, even though shortly after the onset of tarot cards, nor the poem" Ship of Fools "1494 (click here to see all the pictures here or ) we can recognize many of these figures in the cartoons of moralizing Sebastian Brant represented by a series of woodcuts of which some have attributed to the young Dürer . Even if you do not know (for now ) similar books before the appearance of the Tarot and I know that Dürer was inspired by them, I assumed that the iconography of its own, was absolutely "normal " otherwise would not have been used to make moral people but branded as blasphemous. Fool, Magician, emperors and popes rather than devils and angels and the same wheel of fortune were part of those lives and those ideas in the fifteenth century it was said that thinking. They are not the figures contained in the Tarot to make them special, and only in the key we could track down what was a real "heresy " for that time.
The idea that I have made the mysterious character who conceived the scheme is a heretic, what is now simply called "free thinker" , as heresy means nothing but " choice", and the heretic is therefore not merely "one who knows how to choose" . Purposely I did not use "choose" , fact that in the fifteenth century to the slightest hint of different ideas to Dogma it was sent directly to the stake. Maybe he's right here "the motive of our crime. The genius to hide in a set of figures absolutely normal , in an era of bitter complaints, and an idea which was introduced as a teaching heresy.
Heretic then, but not common. Heretic he was asked but then what do you believe?
He replied:
the question that I should rather ask is how a belief?
Hence the consideration that this person lived in northern Italy in the first half of the fifteenth century with a personality and an uncommon knowledge could not pass unnoticed.
This is the cover of a book in which there are the woodcuts and the underlying moral of Brant.

For example, for the image of the Wheel of Fortune seen above,
Brant says:
honors and achievements are all human fragile and fleeting. Nothing is stable on the time of the fatal wheel of fortune and the glory socialite set, fall and fall kingdoms. Every earthly thing pon end in death. "

Brant is thus a witness of that tells us what it represented in the fifteenth century images very similar to the Tarot. Probably has never been considered for analysis because of the Tarot figured everything would become too trivial compared to the myth that was created, but the motion "nothing is by chance," perhaps because non è caduto questo mito alla fine ho scoperto lo schema.
