Good evening, everyone! I am particularly thrilled to introduce our speaker Professor Stanley Chojnacki who is a preeminent scholar of Venetian History. Professor Chojnacki’s work is at the very center of the exploration of marriage and the family in Renaissance Venice. And he will speak with us this evening on ’’Marriage Love and Lineage in Renaissance Venice’’. Please welcome Stanley Chojnacki.
Professor Chojnacki:
Thanks for those kind words. I’d like to set the stage for my talk by quoting from the wills of two 15 th century Venetian patrician wives. A woman named Arimonda Marino named her husband Marco Marino as her sole executor. She also gave him life use of all her property deferring their children’s inheritance until after his death and disinheriting any of those children who might challenge her bequest to her husband. Finally she asked to be buried with him. So that quote: Just as we’ve been one being with one will in life, So I want our bones to mingle in death. She made no mention of her birth family or the lineage that the family was a part of. And she even provided that if she died childless, her property should pass to her husband’s issue from a second marriage. Now contrast that with the will drawn up five years later by a woman named Andriana Michel Priuli. She left her husband of 12 years Francesco Priuli completely out of the administration of her estate. Entrusting it instead to her brother and two sisters, a brother in law, and a cousin, her major bequest was two thousand ducats for the dowry of her daughter Logenia. But if the girl died unmarried, the dowry was to go to the daughters of Andriana’s sisters for their dowries. The rest of Andriana’s property was also to go to Logenia. And only if she died before marrying was Andriana’s husband Francesco to share in that residuary bequest. Dividing it equally with yet another of Andriana’s sisters, she clearly distrusted Francesco. There may have been a bit of resentment as well as distrust operating. Another of Andriana’s bequests was 200 ducats towards the dowry of quote Lucrezia my husband’s illegitimate daughter Lucrezia.
The contrast between these two women’s relationships with their husbands and their families of origin illustrate how fluid were the meanings and practice of the three terms of my title. Marriage, love and lineage constituted the social framework of Venice’s ruling class in the 15th and 16th century. But the possible permutations of their interaction over time in the relationship of any one married couple made it a flexible framework.
16. What does Professor Chojnacki’s work center about?
17. Who did Arimonda Marino assign as her sole executor?
18. Who did Andriana Michel Priuli assign to administrate her estate for the most part?
19. Which of the following is not true according to the recording?
选项
A、Andriana distrusted her husband.
B、Andriana’s husband could share the residuary bequest only if his daughter died before marrying.
C、Marriage, love and family constituted the social framework of Venice’s ruling class in the 15th and 16th century.
D、Andriana’s bequests also went to her husband’s illegitimate daughter.
答案
C
解析
这道题考查的是考生对细节的听辨能力。录音原文说的是“Marriage,love and lineage constituted the social framework of Venice’s ruling class in the 15th and 16th century”,而选项C)用 family 替换了 lineage,故选项C)不符合原文,为正确答案。
