Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The modern term ‘thesis broadsheet’ refers to a single-leaf print with short sentences (theses, conclusiones), combined with images. It served as an invitation for festive disputations in Baroque times. The article starts with a bibliographical review of the state of international research on this topic. Invented by Franciscan scholars in the late 16th century, these prints spread to all Catholic parts of Europe. Examples include different types of broadsheets developed in Italy, France and German-speaking countries. All of them served several purposes: besides displaying the data of the disputation in question, they acted as means of representation. They increased the renown of the inviting university, they highlighted the importance of the main persons involved in the disputation (praeses and defendens), and their iconography often centered on the glory of a patron. An unpublished source from Freiburg University (18th century) describes the ceremonies of a disputation sub auspiciis imperatoris in which the thesis broadsheet played a central role. The appreciation of prints after the end of such festive acts is illustrated by their later use: some of them were framed and exposed in public spaces to honor a successful defensio. In other cases, the images were painted over or cut out for secondary iconographic use. |
