Giants in the Medieval City
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 272 pages, Size:225 x 280 mm, Illustrations:110 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503607689
Summary The visual landscape north of the Alps between the 14th and 16th centuries was shaped by colossal representations of epic and mythological giants, reincarnated and cast as Christian heroes. In contexts religious or lay, private or public, giants dominated urban spaces but also rural ones. They were painted on church facades and stood tall as sculptures in town squares. Rather than portraying specific characters from particular texts, the figures embodied the notion of ?the gigantic? as it appeared in contemporary writings: superhuman creatures from foreign lands and liminal geographies, often associated with supernatural powers, magic, hypermasculinity, and, concomitantly, matriarchy. Since the naming and identity of these giants do not always correlate--thus destabilizing the images' semiotics--the gap could be filled by fabricated memories of the ancient world. Hence, imagery of giants bridged mythological, biblical, and contemporary times, while producing novel political metaphors. This book explores the role and function of the vision and the experience of the gigantic. Executed ?out of scale? and communicating ideas about excess, giants were experienced as physically and ethically abject and, at the same time, as magnificent, apotropaic, and redemptive; as such they came to embody the very notion of the medieval sublime.

Barbara Baert
From Kairos to Occasio through Fortuna. Text / Image / Afterlife. On the Antique Critical Moment, a Grisaille in Mantua (School of Mantegna, 1495-1510), and the Fortunes of Aby Warburg (1866-1929)
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021. Hardback, iv + 211 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9781912554621
Summary The ancient Greeks had a name for the joy as well as the sorrow of an occasion that suddenly presents itself, but disappears just as swiftly: kairos, or in Latin occasio. Using the Mantua grisaille as starting point and leading motif, Barbara Baert guides us in her own intriguing way through the history of the representation of this figure in art. How did the archaic Greek Kairos model survive in the Quattrocento? Which appearances did Kairos take on along the way and how can we explain his mutations? The author shows us how the semantic and rhetorical expansion of the concept kairos/occasio brought about gender switches and conflations with other personifications of time and fate. Grasping the lock of hair of Kairos/Occasio, spinning the wheel of fortune of Tyche/Fortuna, acting as the mast of the ship and holding the billowing sails, she steers us through depictions of the motionlessness of the moment throughout history before dropping anchor in the fascinating vocabulary of Aby Warburg. During this journey, she invites us to go offshore looking for a new critical moment that presents itself as a powerful opening of possibilities.

amsterdam, kunstdrukkerij mercurius, 2011. Paperback, 247pp. cat. tentoonstelling Hermitage Amsterdam van 19 maart '11 - 16 september '11. ISBN: 9789078653240
Met Glans en glorie ademt de Hermitage Amsterdam zes maanden lang de spirituele sfeer van tien eeuwen bijzondere Russische kunst. Ruim 300 religieuze kunstobjecten symboliseren eeuwenoude mystieke en artistieke tradities van de Russisch-orthodoxe kerk. De Byzantijnse oorsprong en traditie, de kerkelijke feestdagen, met het paasfeest als hoogtepunt, en de tsaren en hun kerk 'aan huis' zijn thema's in de tentoonstelling. Op schilderijen, frescofragmenten, kostuums, gouden en zilveren attributen uit de christelijke eredienst komen aspecten hiervan in beeld. Een indrukwekkende iconostase, bijzondere veertiende-eeuwse fresco's uit Pskov en heel veel prachtige iconen uit beroemde Russische collecties zijn voor het eerst te zien. Er zijn maquettes en foto's van kerken en kloosters in traditionele religieuze centra als Novgorod en Pskov. Schitterend religieus erfgoed uit de periode van de vijftiende tot en met de zeventiende eeuw, toen Moskou het centrum van kerk en kunst was, benadrukt nogmaals de geweldige artistieke rijkdom van de Russisch-orthodoxe kerk. En niet te vergeten de kerkkunst uit St.-Petersburg. Die stad was daarna tot 1917 het religieuze hart van het land, met de tsaren aan het hoofd.

Qui nous délivrera du grand Alexandre le Grand ? Alexandre tourné en dérision de l'Antiquité à l'époque moderne
Brepols, 2022. Paperback, 287 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language(s):French, Spanish. ISBN: 9782503590264
Summary Bien que la dérision s'inscrive aux marges du corpus littéraire et artistique sur Alexandre, il existe une veine comique qui rabaisse le souverain le plus prestigieux de l'Antiquité, avec une tonalité joyeuse ou bien plus grave et accusatrice. Si elle ne cesse d'évoluer au fil des siècles tant le rire, l'irrévérence et la satire sont ancrés dans l'historicité, elle s'affirme, dans ses différentes incarnations esthétiques, comme un discours parallèle, un discours d'à côté, qui devient parfois un véritable contre-discours. L'objet de ce volume est ainsi d'entamer une analyse diachronique - qui n'a encore jamais été menée - des modes de dérision à l'encontre d'Alexandre et de ce qu'il incarne, de leurs significations et de leurs motivations. Comique divertissant, célébration paradoxale d'une icône de la royauté, satire politique de la mégalomanie et de l'autoritarisme, ou parodie révélatrice d'un rejet de conventions esthétiques et de leurs instrumentalisations politiques et culturelles : les écritures visuelles et textuelles de la dérision à l'encontre du grand Alexandre le Grand engagent tous ces aspects depuis l'Antiquité.

How Do Images Work? Strategies of Visual Communication in Medieval Art
Brepols, 2022. Hardback, iv + 244 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:31 b/w, 140 col., Language(s):English, German, Italian. ISBN: 9782503595870
Summary How did historical images work and interact with their beholders and users? Drawing on the results of an international conference held in Vienna in 2018, this volume offers new perspectives on a central question for contemporary art history. The fourteen authors approach working imagery from the medieval and early modern periods in terms of its production, usage, and reception. They address wide-ranging media?architecture, sculpture, painting, metalwork, stained glass?in similarly wide-ranging contexts: from monumental installations in the most public zones of urban churches to exquisite devotional objects and illuminated books reserved for more exclusive settings. While including research from West European and American institutions, the project also engages with the distinctive scholarly traditions of Eastern Europe and Israel. In all these ways, it reflects the interests of the dedicatee Michael Viktor Schwarz, whose introductory interview lays out the parameters of the subject. TABLE OF CONTENTS How Do Images Work?

Reinventing Alexander. Myth, Legend, History in Renaissance Italian Art
Brepols, 2022. Hardback, 348 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:80 b/w, 16 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503597430
Summary In this book Claudia Daniotti provides the first comprehensive study of the representation of Alexander the Great in Renaissance Italian art, exploring a fundamental turning point in the tradition: the transition from the medieval imagery of Alexander as a legendary, fairy-tale hero to the new historically grounded portrait of him as an example of moral virtue and military prowess. During the Middle Ages, Alexander was turned into a fabled creature and fearless explorer, whose Flight to Heaven and other marvellous adventures were tirelessly recounted and illustrated, enjoying huge popularity. With the humanist recovery of the ancient historical texts and the changing taste and expectations of the wider, wealthier and more diverse public of the courts and cities of the Italian peninsula, the fabulous aura that had surrounded Alexander for centuries evaporated. He was recast as the moral exemplum and valorous military commander spoken of by the newly available ancient historians, and became the protagonist of an unprecedently vast iconographic repertoire established in the course of the sixteenth century. By discussing a body of artworks from 1160s to 1560s spanning several media (from illuminated manuscripts and frescoes to sculptural reliefs, wedding chests and tapestries) and researching this material in constant dialogue with the literary tradition, this book offers a reassessment of the whole visual tradition of Alexander in Renaissance Italy, making sense of a figurative repertoire often perceived as fragmentary and disparate, and casting new light on an overall still neglected chapter in the tradition of the myth of Alexander.

The Nun's Cell as Mirror, Memoir, and Metaphor in Convent Life. Study of the Models of Nuns' Cells from the Collection of the Trésors de Ferveur
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 242 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:124 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503601939
Summary In the eighteenth through the early twentieth century, French nuns from various orders created miniature simulacra of the cells in which they slept, studied, and performed their devotions. Each diorama contains an effigy of the nun, a prie-Dieu, devotional objects such as a crucifix, handiwork, and artifacts to foster study and contemplation. This book examines the lives of the brides of Christ as depicted in these dioramas, proposing that the material objects found in the chambers trace the contours of the collective and individual identities of the nuns who created these cells. Viewed as a type of memoir, the cells furnish the sisters a stage upon which to rehearse the meaning of their lives. The dioramas create a tension between the private and public presentations of the self, between verisimilitude and self-fashioning, and between reality and representation. The book contextualizes the miniature cells within the larger discourse of gender, identity, self-representation, monastic devotion, and the power wielded by the aesthetics of scale.

Der Bamberger Psalter : Msc. Bibl. 48 Der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg. Teil-Faksimile

Bis zum Ende der romanischen Zeit (Mitte 13. Jahrhundert) entstanden in Deutschland die illuminierten Handschriften grosstenteils in Klosterschulen. Entsprechend war die Auswahl der Texte, es uberwogen die kirchlichen Werke. Wahrend in karolingischer und ottonischer Zeit eine prachtige Ausstattung vor allem den Evangeliaren und Evangelistaren vorbehalten war, kommt um 1200 eine Wandlung: Der Psalter ruckt in den Vordergrund, besonders fur Geschenkzwecke war er sehr geeignet, so dass man ihm grosseren Aufwand zubilligte. Dieser bestand in Initialornamentik und Szenen aus dem Leben des Verfassers, des Konigs David. Da der Psalter im Mittelalter als Prophezeiung auf den Messias gedeutet wurde, ubernahm man zur Ausschmuckung seit dem 11. Jahrhundert auch Bilder aus dem Leben Jesu.Im Thesaurus illuminierter Handschriften der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg ist ein Psalter des 13. Jahrhunderts durch den Reichtum und die Schonheit seiner Bilder und seines Initialschmuckes seit langem aufgefallen. Die Faksmilileausgabe dieser herausragenden Handschrift enthalt auf 26 sechsfarbigen und 40 einfarbigen Tafeln ein Kalendar mit Tierkreiszeichen und Monatsarbeiten, 15 ganzseitige Bilder aus dem Leben Jesu, mehrere grosse, kunstvolle Initialen und andere ikonographisch und kunstlerisch interessante Seiten. Die Miniaturen auf dem Einband waren jahrhundertelang geschutzt unter durchscheinenden Hornplatten. Diese Platten wurden fur die Faksimilierung erstmals entfernt, so dass die noch nie farbig gezeigten Einband-Miniaturen in voller, unberuhrter Pracht zu sehen sind. Die aus den Stilmerkmalen der Illustration und der Schrift sowie aus inhaltlichen Details gewonnene Datierung in das fruhe 13. Jahrhundert steht fest, eine genaue Fixierung von Zeit und Ort der Entstehung ist aber schwierig. Doch ergibt die zusammenfassende Analyse von Kalender und Litanei deutliche Hinweise auf das Herzogtum Osterreich. Die kunstgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen machen die Einflusse von Sachsen / Thuringen, aber auch von Salzburg / Byzanz her deutlich: Die beiden beteiligten starken Maler-Personlichkeiten lassen die Spannweite der Kunst dieser Umbruchzeit an einem prachtigen Beispiel lebendig werden.

Contending Representations III: Questioning Republicanism in Early Modern Genoa
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 196 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 63 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503605210
Summary Several studies have been devoted to the flowering of the republic of Genoa during the so-called 'siglo de los Genoveses', when Genoa became the hub of European trade and an important center of artistic and literary production. Yet, little attention has been granted to the political and cultural crisis that followed, starting in 1559 and culminating in 1684, when the French bombed Genoa. Addressing this chronological gap, the volume explores how the image of the Genoese Republic was shaped, exploited, or contested in the long seventeenth century. How did Genoese politicians and men of letters represent their homeland? How was Genoa represented in Spain or in the Low Countries? How was its political system conceived by Italian and foreign political writers, and how did the prevailing absolutist model influence such ideas? In order to answer these questions, the volume gathers contributions from art historians, literary scholars, political and cultural historians, thus adopting a comparative, multidisciplinary approach.

Royal Jewels of Poland and Lithuania. Collections of the Jagiellon and Vasa Dynasts
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 404 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 96 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503605777
Summary This volume delves into the rich histories of the Jagiellon and Vasa dynasties, shedding light on the profound interplay between jewellery and socio-political forces. Readers are invited into an era where jewellery bore multifaceted significance, from symbolising power and piety to facilitating economic engagements. The royal perception of value extended beyond traditional treasures, with a keen interest in animal-derived artefacts. These unconventional items, such as elk hooves or eagle stones, were highly esteemed, reflecting both luxury's diverse nature and the era's cultural and mystical beliefs. Rather than merely cataloguing these artefacts, this study animates them, intertwining narratives of monarchs, nobles, craftsmen, and the lands from which these treasures emerged. It delves into a world where a gem's glint signifies might, gold hints at empires' expanse, and a narwhal's horn could determine kingdoms' destinies. Jewellery has long held a central position in history, particularly among the elite. These pieces were not simply decorative; they conveyed prestige, societal position, and authority. They symbolised both worldly and spiritual prominence, enriched with a complex symbolism. Beyond showcasing wealth, jewellery played crucial roles in diplomacy and politics. What meanings did these unique gems carry for their initial owners? This book uncovers the tales, magnetism, and mystery surrounding these jewellery collections. It paints a picture where jewellery transcends mere ornamentation, serving as a powerful testament to influence, devotion, and grandeur. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1.

Emblems of Monarchy. Royal Portraiture in Yorkist and Early Tudor England
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024. Hardback, xx + 314 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:24 b/w, 103 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9781912554355
Summary Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII: four kings whose reigns spanned a pivotal period in English history, from the Wars of the Roses to the Reformation. It is well recognized that, in this era of personal monarchy, kings used visual means, chiefly heraldry and pageantry, to represent themselves in the eyes of their subjects. This book focuses on the use of portraits as 'emblems' designed to function in a similar way in the elite circles of court and government. Frederick Hepburn explores the distinctive iconography of the portrait images that were devised to represent each of these four kings. In so doing he adds a fascinating new dimension to the study of these monarchs, and in particular sheds unexpected light on the character of the first of the Tudors, Henry VII. Here too is in-depth consideration of the portraits of other members of the early Tudor royal family - Prince Arthur and his sisters the princesses Margaret and Mary, Lady Margaret Beaufort and Katherine of Aragon. The author also looks at the occurrence of royal portraits in media other than painting in order to present as complete a picture as possible of the role played by such images during this period of transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Musical Images at the Court of Alfonso I d'Este. Patronage and Self-Representation in Early Sixteenth-Century Ferrara
Brepols, 2022. Paperback, vi + 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 36 col., 7 musical examples, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503599984
Summary Alfonso I d'Este ruled Ferrara from 1505 to 1534. His passionate patronage raised the arts and music to unprecedented heights despite frequent wars and chronic economic difficulties. His reign was characterized by a stunning proliferation of sacred and profane musical images, reflecting the central role played by music in his personal life and the city as a whole. Musical elements featured in works commissioned not only by the Duke himself but also by other members of his family, prominent members of the nobility, and the highest-ranking religious orders, whose collective love of music led to fruitful ?dialogue?. The book addresses the rich musical imaginary at the court of Alfonso I, investigating the identity, laudatory, moral, and allegorical meanings ascribed to musical images. It explores the network of shared knowledge and values underpinning the creation of these works, analysing their distinctive use in courtly dynamics. This exceptional corpus of images offers a broad overview of iconographic themes, often steeped in humanistic references, in which various forms of music are present at different levels. Most of these artworks, which include masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Dosso Dossi, and Antonio Lombardo, are examined here for the first time through a musical-iconographic approach. Special attention is focused on the mythological iconographic program of the Duke's lost studiolo (the Camerino delle Pitture), which has also been reconstructed in a new interactive virtual tour, enhanced by original musical content. Finally, the book includes the first complete catalogue documenting musical iconography in Ferrara under Alfonso I. TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures Abbreviations Premise Introduction I.

Crusader Rhetoric and the Infancy Cycles on Medieval Baptismal Fonts in the Baltic Region
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 492 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:448 col., 8 tables b/w., 7 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503599380
Summary This is the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis to demonstrate that the representation of Infancy cycles on twelfth-and-thirteenth-century baptismal fonts was primarily a northern predilection in the Latin West directly influenced by the contemporary military campaigns. The Infantia Christi Corpus, a collection of approximately one-hundred-and-fifty fonts, verifies how the Danish and Gotland workshops modified and augmented biblical history to reflect the prevailing crusader ideology and rhetoric that dominated life during the Valdemarian era in the Baltic region. The artisans constructed the pictorial programs according to the readings of the Mass for the feast days in the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphanytide. The political ambitions of the northern leaders and the Church to create a Land of St. Peter in the Baltic region strategically influenced the integration of Holy Land motifs, warrior saints, militia Christi and martyrdom in the Infancy cycles to justify the escalating northern conquests. Neither before nor after, in the history of baptismal fonts, have so many been ornamented with the Infancy cycle in elaborate pictorial programs. A brief revival of elaborate Infancy cycles occurs on the fourteenth and fifteenth century fonts commissioned for sites previously located in the Christian borderlands east of the Elbe River with the rise of the Baltic military orders and the advancement of the Church authority. This extraordinary study integrates theological, liturgical, historical and political developments, broadening our understanding of what constituted northern crusader art in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

L'iconographie du Lancelot-Graal
Brepols, 2021. Paperback, 628 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:350 b/w, 348 col., Language(s):French, Old French. ISBN: 9782503580036
Summary Le Lancelot-Graal, dont les différentes parties ont été rédigées entre la toute fin du XIIe siècle et la première moitié du XIIIe siècle, constitue l'un des plus grands cycles romanesques en prose du Moyen Âge. Il se compose de cinq branches dont l'ordre diégétique : l'Estoire del Saint Graal, le Merlin et sa Suite, le Lancelot en prose, la Queste del Saint Graal et la Mort Artu, ne suit pas la chronologie de la composition. Le cycle raconte l'histoire du Graal, depuis ses origines et jusqu'à sa conquête par le Bon Chevalier Galaad, et les aventures de Lancelot, héritée du Chevalier de la Charette de Chrétien de Troyes. Il dessine habilement une histoire capable de réunir les temps christiques à ceux du royaume Arthurien et d'embrasser des discours variés issus de la Bible, de la littérature exemplaire, de la pensée théologique et du roman courtois. Plus de cent quarante manuscrits conservent encore aujourd'hui tout ou partie du Lancelot-Graal, ce qui témoigne d'un succès jamais démenti du XIIIe au XVe siècle et d'un prestige dont de nombreux princes et souverains, d'Henri IV de Luxembourg à Jean de Berry et Jacques d'Armagnac, ont voulu se parer. Pourtant, les manuscrits réunissant toutes les branches du cycle sont relativement peu nombreux. Cette étude iconographique se concentre sur les cinq manuscrits les plus anciens comprenant l'intégralité du Lancelot-Graal, produits entre la fin du XIIIe et le début du XIVe siècle : Bonn, ULB, S 526 ; Paris, BnF, fr. 110 et fr. 344 ; Londres, BL, Add. 10292-294 et un volume actuellement dispersé entre plusieurs collections (l'ex-Amsterdam, BPH, ms 1, Manchester, Rylands, ms Fr. 1, et Oxford, Bodleian, Douce 215). Le cycle iconographique de BnF, fr. 344, reproduit dans son intégralité, fait l'objet d'un commentaire systématique. Ce manuscrit d'origine messine ou verdunoise, que l'on peut rapprocher sur le plan stylistique des trésors enluminés de Renaut de Bar, évêque de Metz entre 1302 et 1313, présente plus de trois cents miniatures et initiales historiées. C'est un témoin de l'importance du développement de l'illustration des ouvrages de type profane en langue vernaculaire à partir de la fin du XIIe siècle. Il constitue une lecture attentive et remarquable du cycle du Graal et permet d'explorer sous un angle nouveau la mise en place progressive d'une iconographie proprement romanesque à partir des modèles cléricaux.

Le roi Salomon au Moyen Âge. Savoirs et représentations
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 324 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 32 col., Language(s):French, English. ISBN: 9782503593197
Summary À l'époque médiévale, en Orient et en Occident, se conjuguent sur la figure mythique du roi Salomon des aspects variés et parfois contradictoires touchant aussi bien au secret qu'à une diffusion d'idées et de représentations visant à un consensus social et politique. Les contributions ici réunies s'inscrivent dans une optique comparative dans la mesure où la place qu'occupe Salomon dans les trois religions du Livre (judaïsme, christianisme, islam) n'a fait que croître et embellir durant la période médiévale, dans le cadre d'une symbolique du pouvoir en partie commune et de ce que l'on pourrait qualifier une « culture de l'équivoque » (Bruno Roy). Paradigme du roi sage et juste d'après le texte biblique, Salomon est en effet également un souverain dépravé, pourvu de 700 épouses et de 300 concubines, femmes qui, au temps de sa vieillesse, détournèrent son c?ur pour l'inciter à suivre d'autres dieux et à sombrer dans l'idolâtrie. Son sort dans l'au-delà a ainsi fait l'objet de nombreuses spéculations. En outre, plusieurs traités pseudépigraphiques grecs des premiers siècles de notre ère, ainsi que la tradition juive rapportée par Flavius Josèphe et abondamment exploitée dans l'Occident médiéval (notamment à partir du XIIe siècle), en font un roi exorciste et magicien, capable de contraindre les démons à lui obéir. Salomon joue également un rôle fondamental dans la littérature magique byzantine, copte et arabo-musulmane, dont certains spécimens ont été traduits ou adaptés en latin. À l'instar d'Hermès et d'Aristote, il est donc l'un des grands héros emblématiques du vaste mouvement de transfert culturel entre l'Orient et l'Occident qu'a connu la seconde moitié du Moyen Âge.

Contending Representations I: The Dutch Republic and the Lure of Monarchy
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 212 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:157 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503605173
Summary This volume is the first book-length study to thematise the representation of power in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Bringing together scholars from different backgrounds, the volume aims to stimulate a cross-disciplinary dialogue about representations in art, literature, ritual, and other media. Within the Dutch Republic, different state actors - the city, the provincial states, the States General, the stadtholders, and individual power-holders - vied for the supremacy of power. A vital aspect of this persistent struggle was its representative dimension. In making representative claims about their place in the balance of power, these institutions all faced the challenge of developing a republican language that was both distinctive enough and universally understood. In the cultural repertoires available to political figures, artists, and intellectuals, republican models contended with monarchical ones. In visual and literary depictions, public ritual, and diplomatic encounters alike, the temptation to stand up to the grandeur of powerful European monarchies by borrowing from their representative traditions was not always easy to resist.

Musique, sexe et dévotion. Les images marginales des livres dévotionnels (XIIIe-XIVe siècles)
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 108 pages, Size:110 x 180 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, Language: French. ISBN: 9782503605838
Summary Point de pudibonderie, ni de puritanisme hypocrite dans les enluminures des livres de dévotion médiévaux. L'association des instruments de musique, de l'obscénité et des métaphores homo- et hétérosexuelles caractérise les décors des marginalia de la majorité des manuscrits dévotionnels des XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Les « drôleries » musiciennes et érotiques en sont des ornements communs et répandus dans les psautiers et les livres d'heures des laïcs et des clercs. Ceux-ci en sont d'ailleurs les concepteurs, lettrés pourtant garants de la morale sexuelle. De nos jours, ce paradoxe étonne d'autant plus que ces livres de prières sont à l'usage des femmes de l'aristocratie, qu'elles soient fiancées, épouses, amantes, veuves, abbesses ou moniales. Il contraste certainement avec l'idée que l'on peut se faire des cultures savantes et des pratiques religieuses du Moyen Âge. Or, c'est sous l'autorité de l'Eglise que images et musiques des corps interrogent les sexualités et le genre, la norme et la transgression,et par-là, le corps et l'âme et la place de l'humain dans le monde créé; A contre-courant, peut-être, des idées préconçues sur le Moyen Âge, leur audace invite à réfléchir sur les rapports aux images et au religieux dans la société médiévale, et par ricochet dans celle d'aujourd'hui.

Staging the Ruler's Body in Medieval Cultures: A Comparative Perspective
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023. Hardback, 351 pages, Size:180 x 265 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 83 col., 1 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9781915487087
Summary This book explores the viewing and sensorial contexts in which the bodies of kings and queens were involved in the premodern societies of Europe, Asia, and Africa, relying on a methodology that aims to overcoming the traditional boundaries between material studies, art history, political theory, and Repräsentationsgeschichte. More specifically, it investigates the multiple ways in which the ruler's physical appearance was apprehended and invested with visual, metaphorical, and emotional associations, as well as the dynamics whereby such mise-en-scène devices either were inspired by or worked as sources of inspiration for textual and pictorial representations of royalty. The outcome is a multifaced analysis of the multiple, imaginative, and terribly ambiguous ways in which, in past societies, the notion of a God-driven, eternal, and transpersonal royal power came to be associated with the material bodies of kings and queens, and of the impressive efforts made, in different cultures, to elude the conundrum of the latter's weakness, transitoriness, and individual distinctiveness.

Time and Science in the Liber floridus of Lambert of Saint-Omer
Brepols, 2021. Paperback, 264 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 97 col., 9 tables b/w., Language(s):English, French. ISBN: 9782503596921
Summary The Liber floridus is an encyclopedic compilation written in the first quarter of the twelfth century by a canon of Saint-Omer named Lambert. The work was conceived as an illustrated edition combining texts with images, with Lambert collecting earlier sources as well as contemporary literature in his attempt at synthesis and innovation. Time plays an important role, manifested in the liturgical calendar, the idea of the end of time, the movements of planets, the divisions of time in ages and years, local and universal history. Approached from a range of perspectives and from different disciplines, this volume investigates the reception of scientific ideas and the many concepts of time in the Liber floridus, conveyed in its images, texts, and diagrams, while also taking into account the various exegetical and philosophical contexts. The manuscript tradition of the Liber floridus is likewise considered, with particular attention given to the autograph manuscript, now held at the Ghent University Library, and to the oldest and most accurate copy of Lambert's autograph, now at the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel.

L'iconographie du Bestiaire divin de Guillaume le clerc de Normandie
Brepols, 2022. Paperback, 183 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:74 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503600826
Summary Composé vers 1210 par Guillaume, un clerc laïc originaire de Normandie et habitant l'Angleterre, le Bestiaire divin est la traduction versifiée du texte de la première famille du Bestiaire latin augmenté de sermons empruntés à d'autres sources et de développements de l'auteur. Il comprend généralement trente-neuf chapitres précédés d'une préface et d'un prologue. Chaque chapitre est consacré à un animal dont les caractéristiques sont décrites puis interprétées comme autant d'allégories morales et mystiques. Les manuscrits du Bestiaire sont souvent accompagnés des représentations des animaux dont ils traitent. Ces enluminures jouent un rôle important en éclairant le sens de ces ouvrages, comme supports iconographiques permettant de dépasser l'apparence des animaux, leur sens littéral, pour en saisir la dimension allégorique. Dédié à un seigneur laïc, le Bestiaire divin témoigne du passage d'un texte relevant initialement d'une littérature didactique destinée aux écoles monastiques et capitulaires, dans la sphère de la littérature courtoise d'édification. Par sa traduction vernaculaire, le Bestiaire, initialement conçu pour faciliter l'exégèse biblique, devient un ouvrage d'édification morale à vocation parénétique accessible à un lectorat laïc. Le Bestiaire divin nous a été transmis par vingt-cinq témoins, dont la moitié sont enluminés mais le manuscrit de Paris, BnF, français 14969, enluminé dans le sud de l'Angleterre vers 1265-1270, est un des rares qui comprend l'illustration des interprétations allégoriques des animaux.

Mandaean Symbolic Art
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, iv + 358 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:89 b/w, 125 col., 8 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503593654
Summary Mandaean Symbolic Art examines the structure, function, and symbolic associations of the artwork within the major Mandaean religious scrolls. It acknowledges the artwork itself as a fundamental component of nine scrolls, in some instances occupying over half of the manuscript. Acting in conjunction with the Mandaic text, the illustrations are designed to communicate a complex body of religious knowledge. The organization of the study is primarily iconographic in that it is structured around an investigation of the three most dominant motifs: the figure, the drab?a (or 'banner') and representations of plants. This structure allows for the systematic examination of symbolic associations which are crucial to the functioning of the scrolls as an instructional tool for priests. Investigation of the figure is focused predominantly on the major 'Lightworld' beings, including representations of Adam and key female identities. The central icon of the Mandaean religion, the drab?a, is discussed in terms of its hidden symbolism, and also in relation to its possible development in the Mesopotamian region. As well as the image of the cosmic tree and the date palm, the final section looks at a range of plants whose ritual use is integral to the functioning of the religion. Analysis of the artwork is informed by a study of both the accompanying text and the wider tradition of Mandaean religious literature. Additionally, documentation of Mandaean ritual practices in present-day Australia, photographed by the author over a ten-year period, has been drawn on extensively to explain aspects of the iconography.
