This article aims to reopen discussion of the Renaissance ars historica, a genre that has garnered little attention in modern scholarship. It does so by using a set of computational tools to measure the quantitative occurrence of terms related to artistry and cognition in Johann Wolff's collection of historical-method texts entitled “Artis Historicae Penus” (1579). Like the period's historical writing, which amalgamated aesthetics and historiography, the Renaissance artes historicae belonged to a historiographical paradigm in which the skillful construction of discourse went hand in hand with the search for historical truth. The title of Wolff's anthology accordingly draws an overt connection between the concepts of “ars” and “historia,” yet what did sixteenth-century theorists mean by “art”?

诗歌历史吗？文艺复兴历史艺术的计算解释学方法

本文旨在重新讨论文艺复兴时期的历史文学，这一流派在现代学术界很少受到关注。它通过使用一组计算工具来测量约翰·沃尔夫题为“Artis Historicae Penus”（1579）的历史方法文本集中与艺术和认知相关的术语的定量出现来实现这一目的。与这一时期融合了美学和史学的历史写作一样，文艺复兴时期的历史艺术也属于一种史学范式，在这种范式中，巧妙的话语构建与对历史真相的探求齐头并进。因此，沃尔夫选集的标题在“ars”和“historia”概念之间建立了明显的联系，但是16世纪的理论家所说的“艺术”是什么意思呢？
