The Image of the Past in Ciro Spontone’s ‘Historia Della Transilvania’
Levin F., Кузнецова А. Д.
This paper focuses on the image of the past of the Other in early modern European writings, as exemplified by Italian discourse about Transylvania in the narrative by Ciro Spontone.
The article analyzes the use of such categories as “antiquity" and “the past" applied to the territory and peoples of Transylvania. The examination of discourses on people’s origin demonstrates that references to the past were instrumentalized to create cultural hierarchies from the most civilized Saxons to the ultimate barbarian Tatars. For this, Spontone mainly used two intellectual frameworks, namely, Roman antiquity, associated with civility, and Scythian origins, associated with barbarity.

Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
