Focusing on the Fourth and Fifth <em>Decades<\/em>, which recount Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s\u2019s campaign and the fall of Tenochtitlan, she reconsiders Martyr\u2019s work within the frameworks of Renaissance humanism and early colonial historiography. Bruno examines how classical and Christian models shaped the moral and providential interpretation of conquest. The lecture reveals <em>De Orbe Novo<\/em>\u00a0as a foundational text in the emergence of a global historical imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>This event is addressed to HIAS Fellows and their Tandem Partners.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide Pattern-Image-Credits Accordion Accordion--accordionList Accordion--imageCredits has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide Accordion__list is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__item has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-cb46ffcb wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading Accordion__title has-xlarge-font-size\">Bildinformation<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__wrapper has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group Accordion__content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Tenochtitlan_y_Golfo_de_Mexico_1524.jpg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Tenochtitlan_y_Golfo_de_Mexico_1524.jpg\">The earliest known map of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, and the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico, 1524<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10708,"template":"","event_type":[107],"class_list":["post-10709","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-thursday-colloquium"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/10709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=10709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
