Illustré de 43 bois gravés dont 6 à pleine page. Première édition latine des voyages de Belon (en Grèce, Turquie, Égypte, Palestine, Liban et Syrie), dans une traduction du grand botaniste Charles de L’Écluse destinée à lui assurer une plus large audience que le texte français. "The French naturalist spent 3 years travelling in the Levant, from 1546 to 1549. His journey was inspired by a desire to see the plants and medicinal substances of which he had read. but his travels through Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt and the Holy Land resulted in observations more than merely botanical, in a most remarkable work which discusses the antiquities, custom, and manners of the countries Belon visited, as well as the natural history…Of importance is his description of Cairo after 30 years of Turkish occupation." Blackmer 115 à propos de l’édition de 1554 (la première en 1553). Le second texte de Belon relié à la suite des voyages est "Remonstrances sur le défaut du labour et culture des plantes, et de la connaissance d'icelles, contenant la manière d'affranchir et d'apprivoiser les arbres sauvages de Belon" paru la première fois en 1558. Plusieurs noms inscrits sur la page de titre. Joli ex-libris gravé J. Jeanprêtre à la devise "C'est ma folie".Coins frottés, petit choc à la coiffe supérieure, petite fente en haut des deux mors.

Summary The Religious Architecture of Islam is a wide-ranging multi-author study of the architectural traditions associated with the religion of Islam across the globe. A total of 59 essays by 48 authors are presented across two volumes, Volume 1: Asia and Australia and Volume 2: Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Essays address major themes across historical and contemporary periods of Islam and provide more focused studies of developments unique to specific regions and historical periods. The essays cover Islamic religious architecture broadly defined, including mosques, madrasas, saints' shrines, and funerary architecture. The Religious Architecture of Islam both provides an introduction to the history of Islamic architecture and reflects the most recent scholarship within the field.

Al millennia lang onderhouden Azie en Europa intense relaties. Zowel op het land - via de zijderoute - als op zee ontwikkelden zich commerciele en politieke banden tussen het Oosten en het Westen. Veroveraars als Alexander de Grote, Attila en Dzjengis Khan reisden op zoek naar glorie, rijkdom en macht. Ook Marco Polo, Zheng He en Magelhaen waren gefascineerd door de rijkdommen, de zijde, de kruiden, het porselein. De handel opende de weg voor de verspreiding van de grote religieuze en filosofische stromingen, onuitputtelijke inspiratiebronnen voor kunst en cultuur. De tentoonstelling A Passage to Asia belicht 2500 jaar van uitwisselingen tussen Azie en Europa aan de hand van schatten uit een 20-tal landen. Een tentoonstelling en een festival in de marge van de topconferentie ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) 2010. Asia and Europe form one giant continent, Eurasia, with an endless variation of landscapes, climates, fauna and flora, as well as a wide range of peoples and cultures. Asians and Europeans have been connected with each other for thousands of years. Two cultural factors seem to have linked and influenced the peoples of East and West for thousands of years, Trade and Faith. The book brings together for the first time a selection of 200 art objects from the cultural heritage of 16 Asian countries : Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Specialist in different fields will largely inform the reader with new information. Depuis des millenaires, l'Asie et l'Europe entretiennent d'intenses relations. C'est sur terre - via la ? route de la soie ? - et sur mer que se sont developpes les reseaux commerciaux et politiques entre Orient et Occident. Des conquerants tels Alexandre le Grand, Attila et Gengis Khan ont voyage a la recherche de gloire, richesse et pouvoir. Marco Polo, Zheng He, Magellan, tous etaient fascines par les richesses, la soie, les epices, la porcelaine... Le commerce a ouvert la voie a la diffusion des grands courants religieux et philosophiques, sources d'inspirations inepuisables pour l'art et la culture. A Passage to Asia met en lumiere 2500 ans d'echanges entre l'Asie et l'Europe a travers les tresors d'une vingtaine de pays. Une exposition et un festival en marge du sommet ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) 2010. English/ French/ Dutch (NL) edition. New book.

Cities through Time. Glimpses into Urbanity and Community in Mediaeval to Modern West Asia and Egypt
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 372, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:48 b/w, 35 col., 31 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503618555.
Summary The first volume in a series dedicated to cities and urban processes in West Asia and Egypt, this collection of essays offers an exploration of West Asian history and society as seen through the lens of urbanization. Drawing together scholarship from historians, architectural historians, and archaeologists, the essays gathered here examine the development of cities and urban societies in the region from the Sasanian and early Islamic periods up to modern times. The up-to-date and advanced analyses presented within the volume explore the societies that inhabited these urban landscapes and shed light on noteworthy cities of West Asia and its surroundings, including Egypt, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Through this approach, the authors examine not just the shapes, formations, and characteristics of urban centres, but also the economic and social structures that developed within them and gave shape to their communities.
