‎Marginal Figures in the Global Middle Ages and the Renaissance‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xv + 225 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503597034.‎

‎Summary The essays in this collection explore the motives and methods of marginalization throughout pre-modern Europe, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, and areas that are now Mexico, Iran, Peru, Syria, and Costa Rica. The authors offer a rich variety of perspectives on precarity and privilege, resistance and hybridity, they unpack the intersections of power, tradition, and difference, and they examine the relationship of marginality to both violence and creativity not only in the global Middle Ages and Renaissance but also in our present moment. While deepening readers' understanding of our antecedents, the collection illuminates the contemporary urgency of being 'ethically awake to the needs, sufferings, sorrows, and dignity of others around the globe'.

‎Languages and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in Renaissance Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 433 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601816.‎

‎Summary Although much work has been done in the field of Renaissance Studies, at present there is no book which offers a comparative overview of the linguistic interaction between Renaissance Italy and the wider world. The present volume is intended to fill this void, representing the first-ever collection of essays that deal with multiple types of language contact and cross-cultural exchanges in and with respect to Renaissance Italy (1300?1600). We bring diverse disciplinary perspectives together: literary scholars, historians, and linguists with different regional expertise; we argue for multilingualism and language contact as products of a period of dynamic change which cannot be fully grasped through a single framework. The contributions present a variety of case-studies by often cross-fertilising their approaches with other disciplinary lenses. This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of a truly global Renaissance Italy where languages, textual traditions, and systems of knowledge from different geographical areas either combined or clashed. It takes a fresh approach to the history of late medieval and early modern Italy by focusing on East/West linguistic and cultural encounters, transmission of ideas and texts, multilingualism in literature (various genres and various forms of multilingualism), translation practices, reception/adaptation of new knowledge, transculturalism and literary exchanges, and the relationship between languages and language varieties.

‎Study of Medieval Manuscripts of England. Festschrift in Honor of Richard W. Pfaff,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Hardback, IX+438 p., 23 b/w ill., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN 9780866984324.‎

‎The Study of Medieval Manuscripts of England: Festschrift in Honor of Richard Pfaff, edited by George Hardin Brown and Linda Ehrsam Voigts, consists of sixteen important studies, all dealing with manuscripts produced in medieval England. The first group reflects the meticulous analysis of liturgical manuscripts that characterize the honorand's career. These treat both early and late medieval liturgical concerns and include liturgy for Gilbertine lay brothers, a lost treatise by Amalarius, the re-working of an Anglo-Saxon Gospel book; the music for the Vigil of St. Thomas Becket; and the continuity of Processions from Old Sarum to Salisbury Cathedral. Two studies examine the liturgies having to do with saints in Sarum missals and breviaries. The second, historical, section of this volume includes three studies on Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Six other analyses concern the high and later Middle Ages: an illuminated crusade manuscript; codicological evidence for revising the traditional dates associated with Gilbertus Anglicus's life and writing; evidence for Bishop William Reed's collection and donation of books to Oxford colleges in the later fourteenth century; anomalous writings in a sermon codex; the records of the private incomes of monks at Westminster Abbey; and a catalogue and analysis of medieval manuscripts containing moral philosophy.

‎Alice Neel: People Come First ‎

‎New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2021 Hardcover, 256 pages, 201 illustrations, 8 x 11.5 in., EN. *NEW . ISBN 9781588397256.‎

‎"For me, people come first," Alice Neel (1900?1984) declared in 1950. "I have tried to assert the dignity and eternal importance of the human being." This ambitious publication surveys Neel's nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York's global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel's emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist?s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel's portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel's highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.

‎Art historians have often minimized the variety and complexity of seventeenth-century Spanish painting by concentrating on individual artists and their works and by stressing discovery of new information rather than interpretation. As a consequence, the painter emerges in isolation from the forces that shaped his work. Jonathan Brown offers another approach to the subject by relating important Spanish Baroque paintings and painters to their cultural milieu.‎

‎Medicean and Savonarolan Florence The Interplay of Politics, Humanism, and Religion,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, XXX+325 p., 4 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503528519.‎

‎This volume offers a new, multi-focused approach to Florentine society under Lorenzo the Magnificent, Savonarola?s religious regime and the unsettled early decades of the sixteenth century, crucial periods of change that are often treated separately. This volume examines Florentine society at crucial moments of change that are often treated separately in historical narratives: the later years of Medici government under the aegis of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the four tumultuous years of Savonarola?s religious regime from 1494 to 1498, and the unsettled early decades of the sixteenth century. Drawing upon original research conducted during the past decade, it provides important insights into the politics and conflicting ideologies in the city as experienced by different levels of society, not only by the politicians, preachers, and intellectuals whose voices are more familiar to us, but also by women and lower-class citizens. Since no single paradigm is adequate to describe these years of flux, this volume attempts to reassess the period by uncovering the debate underlying nearly all the topics it discusses. In this way, it offers a new and multifocused approach to the study of this important and influential period in Florentine history. Alison Brown is Emerita Professor of Italian Renaissance History at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her books on Florentine politics and political thought include Bartolomeo Scala, 1430-1497, Chancellor of Florence: The Humanist as Bureaucrat (1979); The Medici in Florence: The Exercise and Language of Power (1992); The Renaissance (1999); and The Return of Lucretius to Renaissance Florence (2010). Language : English, Italian.‎

‎It's bedtime in the Star Wars galaxy and Darth Vader's parenting skills are tested anew in this delightful follow-up to the breakout New York Times bestsellers Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess. In this Episode, the Sith Lord must soothe his rambunctious twins, Luke and Leia, who are not ready to sleep and who insist on a story.

As ever, Jeffrey Brown's charming illustrations and humour glow throughout, playing on children's book conventions to enchant adults and kids alike.‎

‎ANTOON VAN DYCK 1599-1641‎

‎, LUDION, 1999 Hardcover, 359 pagina's, Nederlands, 310 x 252 mm, in goede staat !. ISBN 9789055442669.‎

‎ Anton van Dyck (1599-1641) leefde en werkte in Antwerpen, Genua en Londen. Als veertienjarige schilderde deze leerling van Rubens portretten met meesterhand. Opvallend snel wisten de belangrijkste en meest kritische opdrachtgevers uit die dagen de weg te vinden naar zijn Antwerpse atelier. Het hoogtepunt in zijn carri re begon in 1632, toen hij door Karel I naar Londen werd gehaald. Het Engelse Hof gold in het toenmalige Europa als de kunstzinnigste en prachtlievendste omgeving waar Van Dyck zich ontpopte als de invloedrijkste portretschilder n Rubens. Deze uitgave begeleidt de grootste Van Dycktentoonstelling ooit waarin Anton van Dyck met meer dan tachtig schilderijen volledig' in beeld wordt gebracht: zowel de werken waarin hij zich profileert als religieus, contrareformatorisch schilder als zijn beroemde portretten komen aan bod. De tentoonstelling is het resultaat van voortdurend evoluerend kunsthistorisch onderzoek naar de waarde en betekenis van Anton van Dyck en toont verschillende werken die ontbraken op de overzichtstentoonstellingen in Washington (1990-'91) en Genua (1997). De tentoonstelling loopt in het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerpen van 15 mei tot 15 augustus en zal tijdens de herfst te bezoeken zijn in de Royal Academy of Arts in Londen. Van Dyck 1599-1641 schetst een opmerkelijk volledig beeld van het leven en werk van de kunstschilder. De samenstelling en inleiding werden toevertrouwd aan Dr. Christopher Brown (Ashmoleum Museum, Oxford) die algemeen beschouwd wordt als d autoriteit op het vlak van de Van Dyck studie. Prof. Dr. Katlijne van der Stighelen (K.U.Leuven) besteedt aandacht aan de leerjaren in Antwerpen, terwijl de Genuese periode (1621-1627) uitvoerig aan bod komt in de bijdrage van Dr. Piero Boccardo (Galleria di Palazzo Rosso, Genua). De Antwerpse jaren voorafgaand aan zijn vertrek naar Engeland werden bestudeerd door Prof. Dr. Hans Vlieghe (Nationaal Centrum voor de Plastische Kunsten, Antwerpen). Malcolm Rogers (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) tenslotte neemt ons mee naar het Hof van de Stuarts voor de belangrijke laatste zeven jaren van een veel te korte kunstenaarscarri re. Dit standaardwerk werd uitvoerig ge llustreerd en voorzien van een uitgebreide bio- en bibliografie.‎

‎Aperçu sur les hiéroglyphes d'Égypte et les progrès faits jusqu'à présent dans leur déchiffrement. Par M. BROWN. Traduit de l'anglais. Avec une planche représentant les alphabets égyptiens.‎

‎Paris et Leipzig, Ponthieu et Compagnie, 1827. 1827 1 vol in-8° ( 237 x 156 mm) de: vii, 80 pp., 1 planche gravée in fine. (Rousseurs et traces de mouillures). Couverture imprimée de l'éditeur, dos muet (salissures et restaurations au dos).‎

‎Rare exemplaire de cette publication illustrant la polémique entre britanniques et français concernant la paternité de la découverte du déchiffrement des Hiéroglyphes, plaquette parue anonymement à petit nombre traduisant une communication de M. Brown dans une revue anglaise. Son auteur, qui signe « L.J.Dn. », indique dans son avertissement : « Les nombreux ouvrages relatifs aux antiquités égyptiennes, publiés depuis quelques années en Angleterre, en France et en Allemagne, sont mal connus du public. Les journaux de France ont été remplis d'annonces emphatiques et d'assertions exagérées au sujet de quelques ouvrages imprimés à Paris ; mais on a gardé le plus profond silence sur l'importance et l'antériorité des travaux entrepris en Angleterre sur les mêmes matières ; on a su également en dissimuler l'existence et en tirer parti. Certaines personnes sont venues à bout de faire considérer ces manuvres comme conformes à l'intérêt national, jugeant apparemment que l'intérêt national commande de revendiquer ce qui ne nous appartient pas, sans nous embarrasser de la justice ni de la vérité, et que la vanité de quelques individus doit servir de règle à la manière de voir de toute une nation. [] M. Brown a inséré, dans la Revue dEdimbourg (n° 89, 1826; et n° 90, 1822) une analyse très-détaillée des ouvrages qui ont été publiés dans ces derniers temps sur les écritures et les antiquités égyptiennes. On y trouve ce qui manque à toutes les notices publiées en France, une discussion forte, éclairée et impartiale. Les droits légitimes de chacun y sont exposés et justement appréciés. On y donne tous les développements nécessaires pour mettre le lecteur en état de juger pleinement les prétentions des auteurs et le mérite de leurs travaux. » [] Et il conclut : « On ne doit donc plus douter, que la prétendue découverte de M. Champollion, ne soit entée sur celle du docteur Young, auquel appartient le mérite d'avoir le premier démontré qu'on s'est servi, en Égypte, de signes hiéroglyphes, pour exprimer les sons des noms propres. Disputer à ce savant la priorité de cette découverte, serait aussi absurde, que de vouloir soutenir, que celui qui le premier mêla du salpêtre avec du soufre et du charbon, n'a pas été l'inventeur de la poudre, mais bien celui qui s'est servi pour la première fois de ce mélange comme moteur pour les projectiles ». Le texte de M. Brown donne un rappel historique des recherches sur les hiéroglyphes dEgypte et livre son analyse des récentes publications de Young et Champollion sur le sujet. Exemplaire à toutes marges. 1 volume, 8vo (237 x 156 mm): vii, 80 pp., with 1 engraved plate at the end. (Stains and water stains). Publisher's printed cover, blank spine (soiling and repairs on the spine). A rare copy of this publication documenting the controversy between the British and the French over who first deciphered hieroglyphs; a pamphlet published anonymously in a small print run, translating an article by Mr. Brown from an English journal. Its author, who signs as L.J.Dn., states in his preface: The numerous works on Egyptian antiquities published in recent years in England, France, and Germany are little known to the public. The newspapers in France have been filled with emphatic announcements and exaggerated assertions regarding a few works printed in Paris; but the utmost silence has been maintained regarding the importance and precedence of the work undertaken in England on the same subjects; one has also managed to conceal their existence and take advantage of them. Certain individuals have succeeded in having these maneuvers regarded as serving the national interest, apparently judging that the national interest demands claiming what does not belong to us, without concerning ourselves with justice or truth, and that the vanity of a few individuals must serve as the standard for the perspective of an entire nation. [] Mr. Brown published, in the Edinburgh Review (No. 89, 1826; and No. 90, 1822), a very detailed analysis of the works that have recently been published on Egyptian writings and antiquities. It contains what is lacking in all the reviews published in France: a robust, informed, and impartial discussion. The legitimate claims of each party are set forth and fairly assessed. It provides all the necessary details to enable the reader to fully judge the authors claims and the merit of their work. [] And he concludes: There can therefore be no doubt that Mr. Champollions so-called discovery is based on that of Dr. Young, to whom belongs the credit for having first demonstrated that hieroglyphic signs were used in Egypt to represent the sounds of proper names. To dispute this scholars priority in this discovery would be as absurd as claiming that the person who first mixed saltpeter with sulfur and charcoal was not the inventor of gunpowder, but rather the one who first used this mixture as a propellant for projectiles. Mr. Browns text provides a historical overview of research on Egyptian hieroglyphs and offers his analysis of recent publications by Young and Champollion on the subject. Copy with all margins intact.‎
