T
he Bolognese polymath Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) sought to make sense of
the changing world of the sixteenth century. Europe’s explorations and con
quests in Asia, Africa, and the Americas both challenged and inspired Aldro
vandi’s project to produce a revised Historia Naturalis. The newly “discove
red” worlds not only revealed an astonishing amount of previously unknown a
nimals, plants, and artifacts, but they also posed a new epistemological ch
allenge: They brought into question the methodological and taxonomic Aristo
telian framework that Aldrovandi had employed.
Substantial schol
arship devoted to Aldrovandi and the New World has begun to explore Aldrova
ndi’s global interests. The proposed international conference––organized by
Marco Beretta, Università di Bologna, Davide Domenici, Università di Bolog
na, and Lia Markey, Newberry Library––aims to expand our knowledge of Aldro
vandi’s conception of the world by examining the effects that the changing
globe had on Aldrovandi’s work, investigating what types of extra-European
specimens were included in his research and how the author managed to inclu
de them in the general architecture of his intellectual project. For instan
ce, what did Aldrovandi collect from Africa and Asia and how were these oth
er regions of the world represented and described in his publications? What
did his extensive correspondence with northern European scholars inform hi
m of other parts of Europe? How did Aldrovandi think comparatively about di
fferent regions of the world?
This program is presented by Offis
s, the Dipartimento di Filosofia e Comunicazione, Dipartimento di Storia Cu
lture Civiltà, Università di Bologna, and co-sponsored by Brill (Leiden) an
d the Center for Renaissance Studies, Newberry Library.
