A. Claridge, I. Herklotz Classical Manuscript Illustrations Miller-brepols, 2012. Hardback with dusjacket in fine condition !!, Languages: English, 413pp. illustration in color. ISBN: 9781905375769 The Paper Museum (?Museo Cartaceo?) is a collection of some 10,000 drawings and prints assembled during the seventeenth century by the Roman patron and collector, Cassiano dal Pozzo, and his younger brother, Carlo Antonio. It represents one of the most significant attempts before the age of photography to embrace human knowledge in visual form, documenting ancient art and culture, architecture and topography, natural history and social customs.The 160 drawings catalogued in this volume are derived from five ancient manuscripts: the famous Vatican Vergil, the so-called ?Roman? Vergil, the Vatican Terence, and the less well-known Palatine Agrimensores, all in the Vatican Library, and from a fifth codex, now lost, known as the Chronography or Calendar of the year 354. The bulk of the drawings were copied for Cassiano between 1632 and 1634 for the purpose of studying both the characters depicted and the allied evidence of ancient costume and artefacts. By the later seventeenth century, when Pietro Santi Bartoli executed the last group of drawings in the present volume for Carlo Antonio, manuscript illustrations had come to be cherished as much for their rarity as examples of ancient painting as for their documentary value. Introductory essays provide an overview of the dal Pozzo commissions, the manuscripts and their history down to Cassiano?s day, as well as their study in the wider context of classical scholarship through to the eighteenth century. All the drawings are reproduced in colour at full page, with accompanying descriptions of the subjects or relevant ancient verses in modern translation and brief commentaries.

A. Minnis, R. Voaden (eds.) Medieval Holy Women in the Christian Tradition c.1100-c.1500 9782503531809 Brepols Publishers, 2010. hardcover XI 748 p., 3 b/w ill., 7 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm Languages: English, Latin, French . ISBN: 9782503531809 The first comprehensive survey of the major - but much neglected - contribution made by holy women to the religious culture of the later Middle Ages. Medieval Holy Women in the Christian Tradition offers the first wide-ranging study of the remarkable women who contributed to the efflorescence of female piety and visionary experience in Europe between 1100 and 1500. This volume offers essays by prominent scholars in the field which extend the boundaries of our previous knowledge and understanding of medieval holy women. While some essays provide new perspectives on the familiar names of the unofficial canon of mulieres sanctae, many others bring into the spotlight women less familiar now, but influential in their own time and richly deserving of scholarly attention. The five general essays establish a context for understanding the issues affecting female religious witness in the later Middle Ages. The geographical arrangement of the volume allows the reader to develop an awareness of the particular cultural and religious forces in seven different regions and to recognize how these influenced the writing and reception of the holy women of that area. Seventeen major figures have essays devoted exclusively to each of them; in addition, the survey chapters on each region introduce the reader to many more. The extensive bibliographies which follow each chapter encourage further reading and study. Alastair Minnis was Director of the Centre for Medieval Studies and Head of the Department of English at the University of York, and is currently Douglas Tracy Smith Professor of English at Yale University. A Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America and of the English Association, he is the author of six monographs and the editor or co-editor of fifteen further volumes. Rosalynn Voaden (D.Phil., University of York, UK) is the author of God?s Words, Women?s Voices: The Discernment of Spirits in the Writing of Late-Medieval Women Visionaries, and is the editor or co-editor of several volumes in the field. She was a Research Fellow at St Anne?s College, Oxford, and is currently Associate Professor of English at Arizona State University. Référence: 31307 | Prix: EUR 145.00 Ajouter au panier

Adriano Aymonino, Eloisa Dodero, Nicholas Penny, Francis Haskell ? Taste and the Antique The Lure of Classical Sculpture: 1500-1900. Revised and Amplified Edition. 3 vols Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024. hardcovers, 3 vols, 1684 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:186 b/w, 1592 col. Language(s): English . ** new condition. ISBN: 9781909400252 For several hundred years, until about 1900, a limited number of antique sculptures were as much admired as are the Mona Lisa, Botticelli's Birth of Venus or Michelangelo's David today. They were reproduced in marble, bronze and lead, as plaster casts in academies and art schools, as porcelain figurines for chimneypieces and as cameos for bracelets and snuffboxes. They were celebrated by poets from Du Bellay and Marino to Byron and D?Annunzio, and memorably evoked by novelists as diverse as Marcel Proust and Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Eliot and Charles Dickens. Copies of some of these statues can be seen at Pavlosk and Madrid, at Stourhead, Charlottenburg, Malibu and Versailles, and in countless gardens, houses and museums throughout the world. How and when did these particular sculptures achieve such a special status? Who were the collectors, restorers, dealers, artists, dilettanti, scholars and archaeologists who created their reputations? Under what names (often wildly fanciful) did they first become famous? How were they interpreted, and how and when and why did their glamour begin to wane? These are some of the problems that are confronted in Taste and the Antique. Taste and the Antique has become a classic of art history since its original publication in 1981. This revised and amplified edition significantly updates the information based on new research undertaken in the last several decades, as well as expanding examples of the reception and influence of these works by artists and collectors from the Renaissance through to contemporary art. The original edition has been expanded into three volumes: Volume 1 is a revised and amplified version of the 1981 edition. Fifteen chapters trace in narrative form, with the support of a wide variety of plates, the rise and decline of this highly important episode in the history of taste. These chapters are followed by catalogue entries for 95 of the most celebrated sculptures, all of them illustrated, which provide information on when and where they were discovered, changes of ownership and nomenclature, as well as a record of varying critical fortunes designed to complement the more general discussion in the earlier chapters. Volume 2 contains especially commissioned new photography of over 90 statues catalogued in Volume 1. Volume 3 is entirely devoted to a visual survey of the full range of replicas and adaptations of the works catalogued and illustrated in the previous volumes. The book is indispensable for historians of taste, and to art historians concerned with the debt owed by numerous artists from the Renaissance onwards to the art of ancient Greece and Rome; and it is also of great value to students and collectors of the many surviving copies of the sculptures discussed.

Adriano Prosperi Infanticide, Secular Justice, and Religious Debate in Early Modern Europe Brepols, 2016. Hardback, 407 pages, 156 x 234 mm, EN. *New. ISBN: 9782503531748 On 5 December 1709, in Bologna, Lucia Cremonini is accused of a terrible crime: the murder of her newborn son. This tragic episode, exhumed from the depths of time, is placed at the centre of an enthralling study by one of the leading scholars of modern history and the history of religious beliefs. During the course of a dramatic trial the crime is debated by representatives of religious, philosophical, moral, and scientific culture, all characteristic of the formative period of the modern world and all seeking a convincing answer to fundamental questions. When does life begin? When can a human being first be described as such, so that his or her killing is a crime punishable by the maximum penalty? What is the true role of baptism in the formation of the human person? These are all highly topical questions in an age like our own, where belief is subject to the powerful assaults of scientific research and new questions are being raised about the essence and the limits of human existence.

Agnès Guiderdoni-Bruslé, Ralph Dekoninck, Aline Smeesters Otto Vaenius Otto Van Veen, Physicæ et Theologicæ Conclusiones (1621) Conclusions de Physique et de Théologie Brepols, 2018. Paperback, 108 p., 216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:44 b/w, Latin, French. *NEW
. ISBN: 9782503569666
Le peintre Otto Vaenius (Leyde 1556 ? Bruxelles 1629) n?a longtemps été connu que comme le maître de Rubens. Depuis quelques décennies, le regain des études emblématiques a remis à l?honneur ses recueils à succès : Emblemata Horatiana, Amorum Emblemata et Amoris Divini Emblemata. Mais certains de ses ouvrages plus confidentiels restent encore largement méconnus. Tel est le cas des Physicae et theologicae conclusiones (1621), un petit opuscule d?une vingtaine de pages publié dans des circonstances mystérieuses, qui se propose rien moins que de résoudre « par des notes et des figures » le problème de la prédestination et du libre arbitre ? un sujet alors brûlant, qui a d?ailleurs valu à l?auteur des problèmes avec l?Inquisition. Mais l?intérêt de l?opuscule va bien au-delà de l?enjeu théologique : par l?invention d?un langage visuel inédit et déroutant (à mi-chemin entre le géométrique et le figuratif, entre le diagramme et l?emblème), ainsi que par plusieurs chapitres explicitement consacrés aux pouvoirs des images et de l?imagination, l?ouvrage offre une étonnante clé de lecture à l?ensemble de l??uvre de Vaenius, et constitue en même temps un témoignage frappant de la créativité d?une époque en pleine mutation épistémologique. La présente édition propose une reproduction en fac-similé de cet opuscule rarissime ainsi que, pour la première fois, une traduction intégrale en langue française. Le texte est précédé d?une introduction nourrie, fruit d?une collaboration entre cinq chercheurs croisant des approches historiques, littéraires, artistiques et sémiotiques. Les Conclusiones sont ainsi remises dans le contexte de leur époque, au c?ur des querelles théologiques mais aussi au croisement de deux courants de pensée majeurs qui ont imprégné la réflexion de Vaenius, le néo-stoïcisme de Juste Lipse et l?alchimie de Paracelse ; dans un second temps, elles sont étudiées en profondeur dans leur rapport particulier aux images, qui apparaissent à la fois comme le moyen et l?objet de la démonstration proposée. Enfin, l?ouvrage se clôture par une série d?outils facilitant la consultation de l?ensemble : trois index (des noms propres, des passages bibliques, des notions françaises et latines) ainsi qu?une abondante bibliographie.

Alessio Assonitis, Brian Sandberg (eds) The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive (1537-1743) Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2016. Hardback, 222 pages, 220 x 280 mm, Illustrations: 41b/w, 5 col., English/Italian. *NEW. ISBN: 9781909400344 The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive offers a unique window into early modern Florentine society through an exploration of the archives of the Medici ruling family. Teeming with circa three million letters, the archival collection of the Medici grand dukes housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence chronicles the culture and history of Europe and beyond, across a span of over two hundred years. The letters of this collection, known as the Mediceo del Principato, embrace a great variety of themes including diplomacy, art, medicine, food, science, and warfare. Since its contents originate from a court archive that served both the state and a ruling family, this collection comprises administrative, political, and financial correspondence, as well as more private and intimate accounts of the Medici themselves and their activity at court. At the same time, it would be a great misconception to assume that this enormous archival corpus pertains just to Florence or just to the Medici, given that the vast majority of these missives were written by ambassadors, agents, and informants stationed throughout Europe. This volume, The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive, aims to unlock not only the complex structure of the Mediceo del Principato but also the richness of its content. The sixteen essays address a variety of topics ? book history, Ottoman relations, collections of New World artifacts, medical history, gender studies, and material culture ? all with direct reference to the Medici grand duchy. The original research that supports these studies was drawn in part from the Medici Archive Project's online platform (BIA) for querying over 350,000 digitized and/or transcribed letters. Making use of these and other original sources, the essays in The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive shed new light on the mechanisms and strategies that enabled Florence to emerge from decades of internecine confl ict and diplomatic chaos in order to enjoy cultural and political prominence.

Amee Yunn The Bargello Palace The Invention of Civic Architecture in Florence Brepols, 2016. 267 p240 x 240 mmIllustrations:152 b/wEnglish, Latin, Italian. ISBN: 9781909400313 This book offers a new, revised building history of the Bargello, the first town hall of Florence. A careful analysis of documents, fabric, and restoration allows us to reconstruct the original site. It reveals two previously unidentified building stages. The first palace, begun in 1255, adapted an ex-neighborhood consortium, reusing an old tower and three houses. In the 1280s, a second palace arose next to it, thus creating a twin-palace complex for the Podestà and Capitano, the highest-ranking public officials. Long misidentified as the 1255 palace, the front wing's lower two stories were actually built in 1291-1308. An unroofed precinct wall enclosed the older structures behind a monumental facade, forming an open-air courtyard used for tribunals and stables. This part became known as the ?old palace? when the large, arcaded courtyard and rear wing were addded in 1316-1322. The "new palace" containing the Magdalen Chapel was designed for the Angevin court in residence, not for the communal administration of justice as generally believed. After a 1332 fire devastated the upper stories, the front wing was covered with two immense roof vaults in 1332-1346. Inside, many old dividing walls survived until the nineteenth century. They were demolished with the prisons during the building's conversion into the present national museum, concocting the two vast exhibition halls. This book illustrates the Bargello's early architecture. Reinterpreting the timeline radically changes our understanding of the palace's construction, function, and urban context during the formation of early modern Florence.

Jephonias, Damiens, Caravage, Lantier, Troppman, réels ou imaginaires, connus ou anonymes, les criminels son présents dans un éventail extraordinaire d?images et de textes qui tentent à leur manière de dresser leur portrait moral et physique. Mais, ces représentations du criminel, où se conjuguent peinture, dessin, gravure, photographie, descriptions littéraires, journalistiques, médicales ou judiciaires laissent-elles entrevoir un visage spécifique du crime ? un « criminel né » ? qui serait facilement reconnaissable grâce à un ou plusieurs signes distinctifs, telle la marque apposée par Dieu sur le front de Caïn ? Fruit des réflexions menées lors d?un colloque international tenu à l?Académie de France à Rome ? Villa Médicis en 2015, cet ouvrage pose quelques jalons de réponse en croisant les approches d'historiens de l?art, d'historiens, de juristes, d'anatomistes ou de spécialistes de la littérature dans une période chronologique volontairement étendue allant du début du XVe siècle au début du XXe siècle. Ce faisceau de points de vue montre que la figure du criminel se déploie en une myriade de portraits possibles, sans véritable typicité, ce qui fait de lui un outil de persuasion efficace, régulièrement utilisé en tant que tel, notamment par les représentants des pouvoirs politique et religieux.

Bea De Cupere Studies in Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology, vol. 4: Animals at Ancient Sagalassos Evidence of the Faunal Remains Leuven, Brepols, 2001. Softcover, 271 pages, 29.5 x 21 cm, English text. *very fine condition. ISBN: 9782503510620 This volume deals with the exploitation of animals at Sagalassos (SW-Turkey) during Roman and early Byzantine times (1st to 7th centuries AD). The archaeological excavations at this site yield large quantities of animal remains that represent mainly consumption refuse of its former inhabitants. The bones, teeth and molluscs are described, as well as the various traces left by animals and man on these remains. The importance of herding versus hunting and fishing is discussed, as well as the composition of the live-stock. An analysis of the mortality profiles, sex distributions and pathologies allow inferences about the use of the domestic species as a source of meat or of secondary products (wool, dairy products and animal power). Attention is paid to butchery practices, bone-working techniques and to the use of animal remains as a means of reconstructing former trade connections. The former environment is reconstructed, using the habitat preferences of the identified species. Référence: 67073 | Prix: EUR 55.00 Ajouter au panier

BERSERIK, C.J.; CAEN, J.; Silver-Stained Roundels and Unipartite Panels before the French Revolution Flanders, Vol. 2: The Provinces of East and West Flanders Brepols Publishers, 2011. Hardcover, XIV 631 pages., 300 b/w ill. 900 colour ill., 230 x 315 mm, English. ISBN: 9781905375318 This checklist is the second in a series of volumes describing the silver-stained glass roundels and unipartite panels from the Middle Ages to the 18th century found in public buildings, museums and private collections in the present five provinces of Flanders (Belgium). It also includes documented roundels and unipartite panels whose whereabouts are presently unknown and those which have been removed to other locations or collections in the past. The checklist also mentions all known related material. Where possible, photographs of this material have been added. As far as the related material is concerned, the relevant publications are also mentioned. This material includes models, drawings, engravings, and roundels which belong either to the same series or to those which are copies of these series. The present volume covers the Provinces of East and West Flanders (more or less the former County of Flanders). The first checklist, concerning the Province of Antwerp, was published in 2007. Additional volumes for the Provinces of Flemish Brabant and Limburg (Vol. 3), and the one with Addenda (Vol. 4) are in the planning stage. The former County of Flanders, with the cities of Bruges and Ghent, must once have displayed huge quantities of stained glass, which for the most part have been lost or relocated. The causes and reasons for this loss include natural calamities, fires, deliberate destruction and neglect. Most of the surviving roundels are now in foreign collections: on the continent; in Great Britain; or in the United States of America. It is worthy of note that great efforts have been made in the USA and Great Britain to compile and publish checklists of silver-stained roundels and other small panels, originating from the Low Countries, whilst here, where they were produced, this series is the first genuine overview that has ever been published. During the 15th and 16th centuries roundels and small panels played an important role as 'public relations' gifts among the upper classes, the church and its associated religious orders. As these gifts played a very significant role in social life, demand for these items was very high. It is clear that the manufacture of roundels and small panels was a substantial part of the earnings of these glass workshops, which also produced monumental windows. The most popular themes were predominantly religious, but also included heraldic, secular, mythological and allegorical subjects. The seasons and months and labours of the year were also commonly found. In the late 16th and the 17th centuries the range of iconographical subjects became more secular with, among other themes, representations of professions. Heraldry also remained very important, and in the second half of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries nearly all roundels and panels depicted armorials and included the name of their donors.

Brent Elliott, Luigi Guerrini, David Pegler Flora: Federico Cesi's Botanical Manuscripts Brepols, 2015. 3 vols, Hardback, 1328 p., 220 x 285 mm, Illustrations:869 col. *NEW
. ISBN: 9781905375783
This three-volume catalogue presents five manuscripts containing some 780 mainly botanical drawings, now in the library of the Institut de France. They were produced for Federico Cesi in the 1620s to further the researches of the scientific society he had founded in Rome, the Accademia dei Lincei, of which Cassiano dal Pozzo was a member. The manuscripts were acquired by Cassiano in 1633 following Cesi?s death, together with three companion manuscripts dedicated to drawings of fungi (published in Part B.II of the catalogue raisonné). Many of the drawings depict plants such as ferns, bryophytes, mosses and liverworts, which had been considered ?imperfect? because (like fungi) they seemed to lack reproductive structures ? flowers, fruit or seeds. In 1624 Galileo gave his fellow academicians a microscope, and with this novel ?aid to the eyes?, wrote another Linceo, ?our Prince Cesi saw to it that many plants hitherto believed by botanists to be lacking in seeds were drawn on paper?. Indeed, these drawings constitute some of the earliest microscopic studies in the history of science. One manuscript is dedicated to illustrations of seaweeds and is the first known sustained study of this subject, while another is a miscellaneous volume that includes 30 prints as well as drawings of fungi and lichen, insects, a bat, a hermaphrodite rat and other curiosities. Introductory essays discuss the importance of these drawings to Cesi?s researches and how the manuscripts made their way into the collections of the Institut de France, their botanical content and place in the history of botanical illustration. All drawings are reproduced as full-plate colour illustrations and accompanied by botanical identifications and commentary. Référence: 68864 | Prix: EUR 145.00 Ajouter au panier

Bulckens, K. The Life of Christ before the Passion. The Ministry of Christ . Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard volume V -2. Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2017. Hardcover with dusjacket. 360 p., 149 b/w ill. + 46 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English. ISBN: 9781909400863 The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created. The present volume V - 2 of the Corpus Rubenianum catalogues Rubens?s exploration and representation of the theme of the public life of Christ. The period in Christ?s life during which he spread his message by wandering and preaching with the apostles in the Holy Land, offered a particularly poignant and important part of religious discourse within the context of the Counter-Reformation period in the Netherlands. In order to rebut the Calvinists and their call for the stripping of imagery and lavish decoration from churches, and the destruction of furniture and altarpieces that followed, the Roman Catholic Church sought to establish an innovative and powerful visual rhetoric with renewed urgency. The scenes from the ministry of Christ could serve as potent reminders of the core values of Roman Catholic spirituality. Rubens, as a devout Catholic, created a number of impressive paintings to express this, although most of the works he produced seem to have been intended for the open market. The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created.

C. Deligne Bruxelles et sa riviere. Genese d'un territoire urbain (12e - 18e siecle) Brepols Publishers, 2003. paperback IV 272 p., 26 b/w ill. 10 colour ill., 180 x 250 mm francais Cet ouvrage a obtenu le prix Dexia 2002. Bon etat. *out of print ISBN: 9782503513829 Le controle et le partage de l'eau sont d'importants outils du pouvoir, qu'il s'agisse d'orienter le developpement d'une ville, de maitriser certaines activites ou de soutenir la stabilisation des populations. L'etude de la gestion de l'eau, trop souvent oubliee des grandes syntheses historiques, merite un regard approfondi, tant elle eclaire d'un jour nouveau l'histoire de nos villes. Cet ouvrage, dans lequel la Senne, riviere de Bruxelles, sert de fil conducteur a un periple historique renouvele, entraine le lecteur depuis le bassin des fontaines jusqu'a la roue des nombreux moulins de la region et montre que, quelles que soient l'epoque et l'echelle spatiale concernees, la maitrise de l'eau a ete au c?ur de logiques territoriales dont nous sommes encore les heritiers. A l'echelle du Brabant, le prince veilla des le 12e siecle a maximiser le potentiel economique de la Senne. Il cadenassa la riviere a l'amont de Bruxelles et etablit plusieurs moulins en son c?ur. A l'echelle de l'hinterland bruxellois, les capitaux urbains valoriserent les moindres affluents durant tout le Moyen Age par l'etablissement de longs chapelets d'etangs de pisciculture et d'innombrables moulins, tandis qu'au 16e siecle, le creusement du canal de Willebroek consacra l'emprise de la cite bien au-dela de ses murs. Enfin, a l'interieur de la ville, la geographie de la distribution de l'eau quotidienne traduisait bien l'emprise des differents pouvoirs urbains. Les grandes familles bruxelloises controlaient les premiers points d'eau disperses dans les quartiers urbanises, les autorites communales etalaient la magnificience de la ville dans un reseau de fontaines d'apparat erigees aux points nevralgiques de la cite, tandis qu'au 17e siecle, la Cour developpait son propre reseau au depart de la machine hydraulique de Saint-Josse. Ces amenagements hydrauliques provoquaient bien souvent des reactions imprevues dans le milieu. Inondations, tarissements, ensablement, etc. venaient regulierement contrecarrer les desirs des gestionnaires, entraines malgre eux dans de nouveaux cycles d'interventions. Ce livre, richement illustre, montre que les dynamiques environnementales participent pleinement a la construction des rapports socio-economiques, souvent conflictuels, qui se nouent autour de la gestion de l'eau. Cet ouvrage a obtenu le prix Dexia 2002.

C. Dupont Cartographie et pouvoir au XVIe siècle L'atlas de Jacques de Deventer Brepols 2019, 2019. Hardcover, 351 pages, 89 illustrations de couleur, Texte en Francais, 275 x 220 mm, tres bon etat, . ISBN: 9782503586069 Une interprétation novatrice de l?atlas de Jacques de Deventer et de sa place au sein de l?histoire de la cartographie. Dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, Jacques de Deventer a réalisé, à la demande de Philippe II, les plans de plus de 250 villes des Pays-Bas espagnols. Cette collection est exceptionnelle par son ampleur, son homogénéité et sa précision. De plus, pour la plupart des localités, il s?agit de la plus ancienne représentation cartographique conservée. Enfin, ces plans de «?villes?» figurent également une partie des terres alentour. Depuis leur redécouverte au XIXe siècle, ces documents ont suscité de nombreuses recherches. Cependant, la plupart les considéraient comme des instruments militaires ou comme le pur produit d?une «?cartographie?scientifique?». Mais, est-ce réellement la seule manière de les comprendre?? Grâce à une déconstruction approfondie d?une série de plans, la présente étude cherche à comprendre ce caractère exceptionnel. Vision de la ville, perception de l?espace, rôle de l?hinterland, procédés de représentation ou profil du cartographe sont autant d?aspects analysés. Ils permettent de comprendre que, malgré un résultat troublant de modernité, cette collection est largement tributaire des codes de son époque et relève plus du document politique que militaire. Plus largement, il s?agit de voir ce que cette réévaluation apporte à l?histoire du développement de la cartographie au XVIe siècle. Référence: 57298 | Prix: EUR 120.00 Ajouter au panier

ISBN: 9782503512297 The third volume comprises investigations on seventeen paintings by a final group of preeminent, identified artists from the period of transition at the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century, to which the authors adjust various attributions and interpretations. The third volume includes a final group of preeminent, identified artists from the period of transition at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century. Artistic production at this time was still rooted in late medieval thought, yet more and more seized with new renaissance developments, and at a permanent state of ferment with constantly changing needs of society. The catalogue deals with correspondingly complex issues of interpretation through the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Bouts, Gerard David, Colijn de Coter and Goossen van der Weyden. It comprises a technical, stylistic and iconographical investigation of seventeen paintings on the basis of a scientific research method, which has been fully established over the years. The authors have been able to adjust various attributions and interpretations. At the same time most valuable discoveries have been made with regard to the provenance of some work belonging to the Albrecht Bouts and Colijn de Coter Groups. "Fur die weitere Forschung zu den betreffenden Kunstlern oder den fraglichen Werken wird der Band eine unverzichtbare Basis darstellen." (S.

Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas (ed) La fascination pour Alexandre le Grand dans les littératures européennes (Xe-XVIe siècle) Réinventions d?un mythe 2015. 4 vols, hardback, 2572 pages, 156 x 234 mm, French. *NEW. ISBN: 9782503549309 La destinée d?Alexandre le Grand est à l?origine de l?un des mythes historico-littéraires qui a joui de la plus remarquable diffusion dans le temps et dans l?espace. Dans ce champ d?investigation très vaste, l?objet des trois premiers tomes de notre ouvrage n?est pas d?étudier la naissance de l?écriture sur le Macédonien, mais d?analyser comment la transmission et la réécriture des textes antiques en Europe, à partir du Xe siècle et jusque dans la première moitié du XVIe siècle, sont à l?origine d?une floraison d??uvres littéraires qui montrent la création d?une figure médiévale et renaissante d?Alexandre, à la fois une et multiple. Le corpus choisi s?inscrit donc dans une longue durée ? six siècles et demi? et il prend en compte les littératures de l?Europe occidentale (médio-latine, française, italienne, hispanique et aljamiada, hébraïque, anglaise, allemande, néerlandaise et scandinave) et celles de l?Europe orientale (slaves, avant tout tchèque, serbe et russe, byzantine avec son développement arménien). La nécessité s?impose en effet de dépasser les frontières entre les langues et les littératures, pour comprendre le sens des réinventions du mythe d?Alexandre à l?échelle du continent européen. Nos recherches ont permis d?analyser les modalités et les ressorts de cette effervescence créatrice sans précédent autour du souvenir d?Alexandre, de comparer les couleurs spécifiques de chacune des littératures européennes et de mettre au jour leurs interactions, en lien avec la naissance d?un vaste espace littéraire européen. Le quatrième tome de notre ouvrage constitue un répertoire des principaux textes du corpus européen sur Alexandre, qui rassemble les données factuelles les plus importantes sur chacun d?entre eux, notamment la liste des épisodes narrés, les manuscrits conservés, les éventuelles traductions, adaptations ou continuations, et la bibliographie. Cet ouvrage, réalisé par une équipe internationale et pluridisciplinaire de dix-sept chercheurs littéraires et historiens, dans un programme sélectionné par le Contrat Plan État Région (CPER), puis par l?Agence nationale de la recherche française (ANR), est la première étude d?ensemble du corpus européen médiéval sur Alexandre le Grand, de l?Espagne à la Russie, de la Grande-Bretagne à la Grèce byzantine.

Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas (ed) Postérités européennes de Quinte-Curce De l'humanisme aux Lumières (XIVe-XVIIIe siècle) 2018. Paperback, 628 pages, 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:15 col., French, English, Italian. *NEW
. ISBN: 9782503578255
Pendant des siècles, Quinte-Curce a été l?un des historiens d'Alexandre le Grand les plus lus en Europe. Limitée jusqu'au XIVe siècle, la diffusion de ses Historiae s'amplifie grâce à la lecture et à la plume d'humanistes italiens ; les copies manuscrites, puis les traductions et les éditions se multiplient en Europe. Le présent ouvrage se donne pour objet d'étude leurs réceptions multiples du XIVe au XVIIIe siècle, c'est-à-dire durant les siècles de leur plus grand succès, il étudie les modalités de leur transmission et ses acteurs, ainsi que leurs exploitations politiques, historiques, linguistiques, littéraires et esthétiques. Au-delà de ses usages scolaires, l'oeuvre de Quinte-Curce a en effet suscité des jugements divers et des adaptions variées, qui interrogent le statut que les auteurs et les peintres lui ont donné, ainsi que les finalités de leurs appropriations. Alors que leur célébration comme modèle historique et stylistique domine jusqu'au XVIIe siècle, philosophes et historiens les contestent ensuite pour leurs inexactitudes et leurs enjolivements romanesques, même si ce rejet des savants n'entame pas leur succès auprès des écrivains, des lecteurs, des peintres et des artistes passionnés d'Alexandre. Les réceptions ont été d'autant plus nombreuses que les Historiae ont été prises dans des réflexions et des démarches créatrices multiples, durant plusieurs siècles : la pensée politique sur le pouvoir royal et la conquête ; les débats autour de l'écriture de l'histoire ; les réflexions sur les méthodes et les enjeux de la traduction ; la question de l'illustration des langues et l'élaboration de modèles stylistiques ; les transpositions et les recréations de l'histoire et d'un texte historique dans des genres littéraires fictionnels, le théâtre et le roman, et aussi dans les arts visuels, avec les illustrations des manuscrits et plus encore les peintures d'histoire.

Autour de la figure, à la fois centrale et excentrée, du « passeur de textes », capable de faire franchir au savoir obstacles et frontières, les contributeurs de ce livre se sont interrogés sur la matérialité des textes qui circulent, leurs itinéraires géographiques, leurs cheminements intellectuels; ils ont aussi cherché à retrouver les motivations de tous les acteurs qui ont patiemment rassemblé le patrimoine culturel de la Renaissance.

Après deux premiers volumes consacrés à la traduction intralinguale de l?ancien français au français moderne et aux questions concernant la traduction empêchée et la traduction manipulée, ce troisième ouvrage entend sillonner deux domaines mal connus de la traduction au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, domaines que seules les apparences distinguent : la réception des traductions médiévales au XVIe siècle et la pratique de l?auto-traduction. La Journée d?étude dont ce livre recueille les contributions a permis de dénouer les nombreux liens qui lient ces deux thématiques autour des notions centrales de rupture et de continuité, de fidélité idéalisée et d?infidélité impossible. D?un côté, on voit que le traducteur de la Renaissance qui a accès aux traductions médiévales est poussé à en prendre le contre-pied pour marquer une nouvelle subalternité alors que, en même temps, il peut en subir profondément l?influence. De l?autre côté, l?auto-traducteur est pensé comme incapable de se trahir lui-même. La relation au texte initial et, en conséquence, la contrainte de fidélité ne sont-elles pas différentes selon que le traducteur translate sa propre création ou qu?il auto-traduit une ?uvre originale ? Les quatre théorèmes exposés ici dans l?article d?ouverture de la section consacrée à l?auto-traduction au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance montrent comment les caractères spécifiques de l?écriture médiévale et l?usage social et culturel des langues ont façonné la pratique de l?auto-traduction. Les liens sont serrés entre les deux thèmes du présent ouvrage : dans les deux cas, le traducteur est confronté à la question de la médiation de ce qui existe déjà, médiation qui ne peut se comprendre qu?au regard des aires culturelles privilégiées dans lesquelles elle s?effectue. Les deux volets de ce troisième volume jettent une lumière originale sur une des raisons internes de la traduction : elle ne peut vivre que dans un perpétuel renouvellement.

D. Vanwijnsberghe Ung bon ouvrier nomme Marquet Caussin, Peinture et enluminure en Hainaut avant Simon Marmion. Ung bon ouvrier nomme Marquet Caussin Brepols, 2013. Hardback with dusjacket, IX 502 pages., 46 b/w ill. 400 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: French. ISBN: 9782930054179 Contributions to the Study of the Flemish Primitives(CSFP 12) Until now, little was known about manuscript illumination in Hainault before the arrival of Simon Marmion at Valenciennes around 1458. This monograph intends to bridge that gap by highlighting the work of Marc Caussin, a Hainault miniaturist active in Valenciennes from the 1430s to the 1470s. An existing Cambrai missal paired with by a highly detailed contractual account has led to the attribution of fourteen manuscripts to Caussin. Alongside standard devotional books, Caussin illuminated more personalized commissions such as a copy of the Chroniques martiniennes for Philippe de Croy, count of Chimay. Caussin also worked for other renowned bibliophiles, the most illustrious being the Duke of Burgundy himself, Philip the Good. Caussin?s activity could be placed in context thanks to an abundance of archival sources. Some fifty documents give unique information concerning his family background and his professional network in Hainault and other cities in the southern Netherlands. Exploited for all the richness of their content, the manuscripts grouped around Marc Caussin have allowed us to reconstruct an artistic, social, religious and intellectual milieu about which very little was previously known.

Pierre de la Ramée or Petrus Ramus (1515-1572) has long been a controversial figure in educational reform and innovation, from the moment of his first public academic statements in the 1530s, to his reception among scholars in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What is beyond dispute, however, is the vast reach of his influence throughout Europe. Ramus?s ideas were disseminated through copious editions and translations of his own textbooks, and in wave after wave of adaptations and re-imaginings of his ideas that swept across the continent. This volume embarks on a European tour of Ramism, using a wide range of previously unpublished or untranslated archival evidence from throughout the continent to examine the dissemination of Ramus?s works and his intellectual influence in geographic and in disciplinary terms. The ten chapters explore the spread of Ramism from his home country of France to Protestant strongholds in Germany, Holland, and Britain, and in the Catholic context of the Iberian peninsula. The book also examines Ramism in the less familiar territories (to most Anglophone readers) of Scandinavia and Hungary, and considers the preceding and contemporary Dutch and German educational reform movements from which Ramus borrowed to forge his own distinctive intellectual method.

Erika Gielen, Michèle Goyens (eds) Towards the Authority of Vesalius Studies on Medicine and the Human Body from Antiquity to the Renaissance and beyond Brepols, 2018. Hardback, 475 p., 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, 6 tables b/w., English, French. *NEW
. ISBN: 9782503579146
The authority of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) in reviving human anatomy is without any doubt a landmark in the history of science. Yet his breakthrough was inconceivable without his predecessor?s works. Moreover, later on, his own legacy would not remain untouched or undisputed. The question of scientific authority is not new; however it has hardly been tackled in a multidisciplinary and diachronic way. This volume brings together contributions from international scholars working in the field of theology, art history, philosophy, history of science and historical linguistics. Its goal is to contextualize and analyse the complex interaction between dogma and authority on the one hand and empirical progress on the other, both in the development of anatomy and the views on the human body, mainly before Vesalius?s time. Indeed, it is not the volume?s aim to focus exclusively on the role of Vesalius nor to assess the concept of medical and anatomical authority in a comprehensive way. Avoiding to repeat insights from the history of science as such, it intends to put old views to the test, and to bring up new questions and answers from diverse perspectives concerning the work of Vesalius and his predecessors and successors, by presenting different case studies from Antiquity to the Early Modern Times.

Eyolf Østrem, Nils Holger Petersen Medieval Ritual and Early Modern Music The Devotional Practice of Lauda Singing in Late-Renaissance Italy 2008. Hardback, 348 p, 160 x 240 mm, Illustrations:27 b/w, English, Italian. *NEW
. ISBN: 9782503520667
The polyphonic lauda had its place of prominence in the lay devotional confraternities in Italian cities in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. A main theme of this volume is the influence of art music in devotional contexts dominated by ritual functionality, where a modern aesthetic perspective is rarely employed. The authors raise fundamental questions about the validity of such a distinction between functional simplicity and aesthetic sensibility, where the latter is usually reserved for advanced, secular genres such as opera and the madrigal. The question of an aesthetics avant la lettre as applied to devotional practices in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is examined through analyses of records from youth confraternities in Renaissance Florence. Further, the use during the seventeenth century of the traditional genre of the lauda in settings which stylistically reflect polyphonic art music is discussed and exemplified through the publication of 19 polyphonic laude from a seventeenth-century manuscript found in the archives of the Cathedral of Florence. Combining aspects of recent scholarship in musicology, liturgical history, and confraternity studies, the authors (a musicologist and a church historian) explore both the devotional use of stylistically advanced music in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as well as the idea that the beauty of music enhances devotion. The volume features an introduction and six chapters as well as a substantial appendix consisting of edited texts and music for several laude. Référence: 68872 | Prix: EUR 40.00 Ajouter au panier

F. van Liere Commentary on Samuel and Kings. Expositio hystorica in Librum Regum. Brepols Publishers, 2010. paperback, 230 p., 156 x 234 mm, english. ISBN: 9782503531557 Andrew of St Victor (? 1175) was an exegete of a rare quality who set out to expound Scripture according to its literal sense, guided by the examples of Jerome and Hugh of St Victor. The books of Samuel and Kings had a great influence on the spirituality and theology of the Middle Ages. To the medieval mind, they were more than just historical accounts; they attested to an important period in God?s dealings with this world, when interpreted typologically, they could also relate to other periods in the history of salvation. Yet before such higher spiritual wisdom could be attained, students at the school of St Victor first had to study the Scriptural texts at the most basic level of allegoresis: their historical, or literal, sense. The Commentary on Samuel and Kings offers such a literal explanation and gives an opportunity to study Andrew at work: as a critical researcher, who used concepts of grammar, literary theory, and science to elucidate the text and who made Jewish exegesis available to Christian scholarship, and as a compiler. His meticulous scholarship on the literal sense of Scripture formed an important component of the curriculum of the school at St Victor, where thorough learning was seen as a preparation for mystical knowledge and spiritual understanding. The source text of this volume appeared in the series Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaeualis as Andreas de Sancto Victore - Expositio hystorica in librum Regum (CCCM 53A). References to the corresponding pages of the edition are provided in the margins of this translation. Frans van Liere holds a Ph.D. in medieval studies from Groningen University and is Professor of History at Calvin College (USA). His critical edition of Andrew of St Victor's Commentary on Samuel and Kings (Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis 53A) appeared in 1996.

Frédérique Lemerle, Yves Pauwels (eds) Philibert De l'Orme. Un architecte dans l'histoire Arts - Sciences - Techniques Brepols, :2016. Paperback, 336 pages, 210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:114 b/w, 49 col., French, English, Italian. *NEW
. ISBN: 9782503565606
Entre Pierre Lescot et Jean Bullant, Jean Goujon et Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, Philibert De l?Orme est l?étoile majeure d?une constellation d?architectes qui, à l?instar de la Pléiade des poètes, a donné au XVIe siècle français une aura comparable à celle de l?Italie. Au service du cardinal Jean du Bellay, de Diane de Poitiers, de Henri II et de Catherine de Médicis, constructeur et théoricien, il laisse une ?uvre aussi passionnante que problématique. Héritier du Moyen-Âge et grand connaisseur de l?antiquité romaine, praticien expert doublé d?un humaniste savant, il réalise une synthèse fascinante des tendances diverses mais convergentes de la Renaissance, qui lui fait incarner le renouveau artistique de la France de son temps. Quoique sa fortune ait souffert des vicissitudes de l?histoire, de l?évolution du goût et sans doute aussi du caractère protéiforme de son génie, sa puissance créatrice, égale à celle d?un Rabelais ou d?un Ronsard, en fait le Michel-Ange français. À l?occasion du cinq-centième anniversaire de sa naissance, le LVIIe colloque international d?études humanistes du Centre d?études supérieures de la Renaissance à Tours, organisé par Frédérique Lemerle, directrice de recherche au Cnrs (Tours, CESR, UMR 7323) et Yves Pauwels professeur des universités (Tours, CESR/Université François-Rabelais) a rendu hommage à celui qui fut l?un des plus grands artistes de la Renaissance. Les essais réunis s?attachent à explorer quelques zones d?ombre laissées encore obscures par les monographies précédemment consacrées à l?architecte en inscrivant la problématique dans la perspective pluridisciplinaire qui est celle du CESR.

G. Martin Rubens in London. Art and Diplomacy Brepols Publishers, 2011. hardcover, 205 p., 68 b/w ill. 22 colour ill., 210 x 280 mm, English. ISBN: 9781905375042 The Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens is probably the most important foreign artist to have worked in England. The story of how this came to be, of what he did when he was in England and what he painted for King Charles I is the story of this book. Charles and his father, the first Stuart monarchs of Great Britain, led and promoted a great wave of interest in the arts, in particular the visual arts, that culminated in Rubens painting nine large canvases to decorate the ceiling of Inigo Jones?s Banqetting Hall, the ceremonial centre of the Court in Whitehall - a monument that is still intact today. It is this cycle, an hitherto unappreciated masterpiece of Baroque state art, that is the focus of this book. How Rubens came to obtain the commission is a tale of international politics and diplomacy in which the artist himself played a significant role. The author relates these complex political relationships and missions with great insight and clarity, and in doing so also describes the cultural and social setting in which Rubens found himself while in London. The illustrations that accompany the text include not only many of Rubens's own paintings and drawings made when he was in London, but also some of the now well-known works by the Italian and North European Renaissance masters that Rubens would have seen in the magnificent art collections of the King and the English aristocracy. Foremost however among the illustrations are the reproductions of the Banqueting Hall ceiling itself: these are mostly in colour, showing each of the three central scenes both complete and with striking details that would be difficult to see in the Hall itself. Also the corner oval painting as well as the long, celebratory, exuberant processions on either side are reproduced in colour and in detail, so that the reader, guided by the author's full descriptions and interpretations, can experience a unique viewing and understanding of Rubens's masterpiece. The Author, Gregory Martin, has been interested in the ceiling paintings of the Banquetting Hall ever since he worked at the National Gallery in the 1960s, when he wrote the catalogue of the Gallery's Flemish paintings. Towards the end of his subsequent career at Christie's, where he was a director concerned with old master paintings, he was commissioned to write the Corpus Rubenianum volume on the ceiling decoration of the Banquetting Hall which was published in 2005. In the present book he returns to the subject, treating it and the related matter of Rubens in London in a way designed to appeal to a wider readership.

Gabor Almasi, Farkas Gábor Kiss Humanistes du bassin des Carpates II. Johannes Sambucus Brepols, 2015. Hardback, 291 pages, 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations: 11 b/w, French. *NEW ISBN: 9782503531625 Cet ouvrage présente les pièces liminaires des ?uvres transmises ou publiées par les soins de Johannes Sambucus (1531-1584), érudit hongrois, fils du maire de la ville prospère et cosmopolite de Trnava, au nord-ouest de la Hongrie ancienne. Parcourant l?Europe pendant une durée inhabituelle de vingt-deux ans, il passa son temps à constituer une immense bibliothèque de manuscrits grecs et latins. Ce fonds devint sans doute la plus grande bibliothèque privée de manuscrits en Europe centrale et orientale. Bien avant son installation à la Cour impériale de Vienne, il s?était taillé une solide réputation de lettré après la publication de son splendide livre d?Emblemata, issu des presses de Plantin qui allait devenir son principal éditeur. Bien qu?il fût officiellement historiographe de l?empereur, son intérêt principal se tournait vers la publication des trésors uniques de sa bibliothèque. Il prit part à la publication de trente-deux auteurs classiques, byzantins et néo-latins où l?on retrouve des éditions marquantes d?Aristénète, de Diogène Laerce, de Pétrone, de Plaute ou de Janus Pannonius. Il contribua aussi aux premières éditions de certains textes de Gémiste Pléthon, d?Hesychius, de Nonnus ou de Stobée. Son travail de philologue est analysé dans une ample introduction en contrepoint de l?édition des pièces liminaires. Référence: 68861 | Prix: EUR 60.00 Ajouter au panier

Gautier Map Contes pour les gens de cour Brepols Publishers, 1993. paperback, 344 p., 130 x 190 mm. ISBN: 9782503503066 Que peut faire un clerc de l'administration royale, a la fin du XIIe siecle, s'il est dote d'un humour feroce, d'une langue agile, d'une culture vaste et eclectique, d'un gout irrepressible pour les bonnes histoires colorees et corsees, face a la montee en force des nouvelles modes litteraires de la litterature en francais et des romans courtois? Il prend une plume et redige de "bonnes histoires pour les gens de cour", pour montrer qu'on peut s'amuser en latin, de facon moins ridicule a ses yeux que ceux qui palissent d'amour aux pieds des dames. Gautier Map, clerc anglais richement prebende, grand conteur et amuseur des milieux de la cour de Henri II Plantagenet, est a la fois attire et agace par les themes fantastiques, merveilleux et amoureux qui font les delices de la cour anglaise lorsque la reine Alienor y sejourne. Il veut faire encore mieux: plus varie, plus subtil, plus savant, plus drole et moins naif. S'il meprise l'amour courtois, ce n'est pas par pudibonderie; s'il ecrit dans la langue savante de son temps, ce n'est pas par timidite. Son oeuvre, que par nonchalance sans doute il garda dans ses papiers personnels, est fantaisiste, insolente, ironique; c'est pour les ethnologues un reservoir de renseignements sur des coutumes et des traditions que personne avant lui n'avait notees, pour les historiens de la litterature un temoignage d'une epoque ou rien n'etait encore joue entre la langue vulgaire et le latin (qui pouvaient encore se donner la replique), pour tous un moment privilegie de l'emergence dans la litterature europeenne d'un art du recit qui aboutit de temps en temps, dans ce recueil jamais ennuyeux ni banal, a d'eblouissantes reussites.

GEELEN, I.; STEYAERT, D.; IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries Brepols Publishers, 2011. hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN: 9782930054117 In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.

H. Wijsman Luxury Bound. Illustrated Manuscript Production and Noble and Princely Book Ownership in the Burgundian Netherlands (1400-1550) Brepols Publishers, 2010. hardcover, XIV 717 pages ., 43 b/w ill., 178 x 254 mm, English Hanno Wijsman is Researcher in Medieval History at Leiden University, focusing on the cultural history of the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, with special attention to books and libraries in the Low Countries and France. ISBN: 9782503525587 This interdisciplinary study presents a two-part survey of the production and ownership of luxury manuscripts in the late-medieval Netherlands. Part I analyses a corpus of 3,700 illustrated manuscripts produced between 1400 and 1550 in the Low Countries. The result is a cornucopia of information about many aspects of manuscript production: chronological, geographical and gender distribution, the genres of texts, the languages used, the dimensions of books, the number of illustrations, and the relationship between the making of hand-written and printed books. Part II examines the libraries of the pre-eminent owners of illustrated manuscripts in the Netherlands: the ducal family and the noble elite. The great bibliophile Philip the Good set an example of book collecting that was emulated by the nobles of the court, creating a typical ?Burgundian? fashion in book ownership by which a small elite demonstrated a well defined group identity. Luxury Bound charts this new vogue in books and reading, an important aspect of cultural change in the late-medieval Low Countries. Référence: 31311 | Prix: EUR 99.90 Ajouter au panier

ISBN: 9782930054124 Ce sixieme volume de la serie des repertoires est consacre aux vitraux de la seconde moitie du XVIe siecle et de la premiere moitie du XVIIe siecle qui subsistent en Wallonie, dans les provinces du Brabant wallon, du Hainaut, de Liege et de Namur. L'auteur, Isabelle Lecocq, s'est attachee depuis plusieurs annees a l?etude de ces vitraux monumentaux qui ont trop peu retenu l'attention des chercheurs jusqu'a present. Ces ?uvres s?inscrivent en effet dans une periode particulierement sombre et troublee de l'histoire des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux, qui commence avec le regne de Philippe II et qui coincide avec la ?« Guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans ?» (1568-1648). Elles meritent neanmoins une attention particuliere car elles sont l?expression concrete de la mutation generalisee qui se produisit dans l?art entre la Renaissance et le Baroque. L?auteur a realise sur place un examen minutieux et une abondante documentation photographique. L?ouvrage presente pour chaque verriere une etude systematique d?authenticite completee par une recherche approfondie des archives ainsi que par toutes les autres demarches de l?histoire de l?art. Elle a pu confirmer de maniere etayee l?evidence d?une continuite de la production de vitraux dans l?espace wallon, malgre la situation tourmentee de l?epoque. Toutes les ?uvres sont replacees dans leurs contextes artistique, technique, politique, etc., ce qui eclaire aussi l?evolution de leurs concepteurs, de leurs realisateurs et de leurs commanditaires.

. ISBN: 9782503575711
La série des « Humanistes du bassin des Carpates » comptera sept volumes dans la collection « Europa Humanistica ». Le volume « Traducteurs et éditeurs de la Bible » (2007) et le volume « Johannes Sambucus » (2015) sont déjà parus. Ce volume présente à son tour trente-sept humanistes du Royaume de Hongrie, dont certains sont très connus, comme André Dudith, Nicasius Ellebodius, ou bien Georg Henisch. À la fin du XVe siècle le royaume de Hongrie avait établi un réseau d?institutions semblables à celles des états occidentaux. Sous les règnes de Mathias Corvin et des monarques jagelloniens, le réseau a fonctionné de manière convenable. Dans la cour royale, dans les cours aristocratiques, épiscopales et archi épiscopales on a pu observer les premières traces d?une vie culturelle laïque. La réception simultanée des idées de l?humanisme, de la Renaissance et de la Réforme ont amené les nombreux humanistes italiens et germanophones présents dans le pays à lancer un vaste programme d?éditions de textes. La plupart des ces éditions sont des traductions en hongrois, préparées pour des fins scolaires. Seuls les érudits faisant partie des réseaux internationaux ? viennois, padouan, etc ? furent capables de productions philologiques plus importantes ; mais les philologues de Hongrie qui avaient fait leurs études dans les universités étrangères et étaient en relation avec toute l?Europe savante, ont alors bénéficié d?une aura internationale.

James K. Coleman, Andrea Moudarres (eds) Luigi Pulci in Renaissance Florence and Beyond New Perspectives on his Poetry and Influence Brepols, 2018. Hardback, 239 pages, 156 x 234 mm, English, Italian. *NEW. ISBN: 9782503574394 Luigi Pulci?s rollicking, ribald account of the exploits of the paladin Orlando and his giant friend Morgante has never failed to provoke strong reactions in its readers. Pulci?s irreverent satirical wit made his Morgante an instant bestseller following its initial publication, but also drew the ire of powerful enemies like the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, who called for copies to be burned in the ?bonfires of vanities? organized by his followers in Florence. The Morgante is the most important immediate precursor to the Orlando innamorato and the Orlando furioso, yet relatively little critical attention has been devoted to Pulci?s work compared to that of his successors Boiardo and Ariosto. This volume ? the first collection of critical essays dedicated to Pulci ? offers a comprehensive reassessment of Pulci?s work and legacy, shedding new light on the cultural and literary traditions that Pulci draws from and subverts, the social and political forces that shaped Pulci?s work, and the breadth of Pulci?s influence from the Renaissance to the present day.

John Garton Grace and Grandeur: The Portraiture of Paolo Veronese 2008. Cloth binding under dustjacket, 268 pages, 220 x 280 mm, illustrations: 135 b/w, 52 col. English text. *fine copy. ISBN: 9781905375233 Of the triumvirate of sixteenth-century Venetian painters, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, Paolo [Caliari] Veronese (1528-1588) best conveyed Venice?s civic splendor. His masterpieces in the Doge?s Palace conferred on the Republic a magnificence and authority that was rapidly dwindling by the end of the Renaissance. But on a private level, he also reshaped the fashions of the Serenissima through a steady stream of portrait commissions. Many members of Venice?s most elite families sat for Veronese, as did notable artists and authors, including Titian and Sir Phillip Sidney. Once regarded as Venice?s best portraitist, his talents in this genre unfortunately remain largely unknown to modern audiences. This book offers the first comprehensive study of the approximately forty portraits that survive. Shedding new light on early works, such as the pendants of the Da Porto and the frescos of the Barbaro in the Palladian villa at Maser, Professor Garton also examines Paolo?s images of women within the larger polemics surrounding the anonymous beauties of Giorgione, Palma il Vecchio, and Titian. The author analyzes Veronese?s innovations in martial portraiture, melancholic portrayals of artists and nobility, and evocations of the antique. Relevant issues of social history, class insecurity, and poetic convention are all brought to bear in deciphering the meanings of these images and what they reveal about the painter and his clientele. This layered study of Venice?s golden age of painting ends appropriately with a glance at the ?moderns? who profited most from the study of Veronese?s portraits: Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Henri Fantin-Latour, Mary Cassatt, and Henri Matisse. A complete catalogue of Veronese?s portraits follows the chapters. John Garton, Ph.D., is assistant professor of liberal arts at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Jonckheere. K. Portraits After Existing Prototypes Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard part XIX.- 4 Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2016. Hardcover with dusjacket.340 p., 130 b/w ill. + 100 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English. ISBN: 9781909400580 Rubens was mesmerised by faces. He studied physiognomy, the pseudo-science that began making headway in the sixteenth century, which postulated that a person?s character could be read from their facial features. He made geometrical analyses of the faces of ancient emperors and heroes. He invested a great deal of time in detailed anatomical studies, sometimes based on nature, and equally often on antique busts and coins. At times it seems as though the master wanted to know and understand every nook and cranny of the human face. To this end he studied man himself and the way in which the ancients dealt with nature. His best portrait copies, thus, are not strictly copies but rather studies in which art history, craftsmanship, literature and theory merge into an emulation of art and nature. They are works in which the artist was looking for what ultimately captivated him the most: man in all of his myriad facets, and the perspectives art afforded to better understand man.
