The Festival Descriptions of Joannes Bochius

The research project works with Neo-Latin texts that were written and published in the early modern period by the humanist Joannes Bochius from Antwerp. They include festival descriptions which are complemented by a large corpus of epigrams, panegyric, poetry, and psalms. No other contemporary humanist or politician can be compared to Bochius’ influence on Antwerp’s festivals and their publication. The festival books, which Joannes Bochius wrote in his position as the secretary of Antwerp, are thus our focus. They describe, for example, the joyous entries (adventus) of archduke Albert and infanta Isabella, and of archduke Ernst of Austria. 
The philological project focuses on the performance of processions and their relationship to textual representation; it asks how the performative acts of the adventus are realized in the Latin text, how they are located historically, and how they are commented on medially. The texts exist in an interrelationship not only with the performance of the adventus but also with the full-page copper engravings, which illustrate the ephemeral architecture of the procession as part of the book’s publication. It is the goal of the philological project to analyse the intermedial processes of negotiation between program, procession, description, etc. on the level of the Latin text.
