Edition illustrée de portraits, de scènes et de documents empruntés à l'art italien et à l'art français de la Renaissance. — "Admirateur de l'art spontané et puissant du Moyen Age, M. Funck-Brentano ne s'enthousiasme pas pour la Renaissance, « cette immense réaction contre la vie sociale, politique, intellectuelle et artistique du Moyen Age ». Le triomphe du rationalisme, caractéristique essentielle de cette réaction, comme de la Révolution française, lui semble comporter au moins autant d'inconvénients que d'avantages. Il affirme sa conviction qu'un peuple « fait une bêtise » en reniant ses traditions naturelles, concrètes, pour s'attacher à une tradition factice et abstraite, – ce qui ne l'empêche pas, avec beaucoup de liberté d'esprit, de défendre la politique italienne de François Ier, de goûter fort la docte sagesse d'Erasme, et d'aller jusqu'à témoigner de l'indulgence pour Alexandre VI. (...) Le chapitre consacré au Concordat se range parmi les meilleurs. (...) Le livre repose sur une lecture étendue, il témoigne d'un sens aigu du passé, il fait réfléchir, il est écrit d'une plume personnelle et vivante. Il mérite d'être lu." (H. Waquet, Revue d'histoire de l'Eglise de France) Désormais les frais d'envoi sont de 6 € seulement pour les livres jusqu'à 1 kg (colissimo suivi), pour la France métropolitaine.

Renaissance Venice, Islam and Mahmud the Kurd: a metalworking enigma
Auld, Sylvia: Renaissance Venice, Islam and Mahmud the Kurd: a metalworking enigma. London: Altajir World of Islam Trust, 2004. 350pp with 210 monochrome illustrations. Cloth. 26.8x20.7cms. The name of Mahmud the Kurd (probably an itinerant master craftsman working in the second half of the 15th century) has been found on ten small, domestic objects of brass. All are exquisitely worked with intricate arabesques. On one, his signature appears in two forms in Arabic (or Persian), and in transliterated Roman script. Why? For whom was he working, and where? These are the questions which this book tries to answer. The widespread links between Renaissance Europe and Islam, which emerge as part of the trail, may come as a surprise to some readers. The objects listed in this book are not only fascinating in themselves but can be seen as a microcosm of the international exchanges and excursions of the period. Later, in 19th-century Europe, it was even assumed that Mahmud (and others working in the same style) were employed in Venice . This seems improbable following research in the archives, but so far no satisfactory explanation has been offered for Mahmud's double-language signature. Close examination of the objects shows that there are in fact three distinct styles. In the 15th century, against a backdrop of diplomatic intrigue in the face of Ottoman victories, Venice promoted links with their rivals, the Turcoman 'White Sheep' dynasty, whose capital then was at Tabriz . This explains a Persian element in the decorative detail of the first stylistic group. Some of the objects of a second group include a European shield as part of their decoration. Despite renewed papal bans, European trade with Islam continued unabated in the Eastern Mediterranean; Venice was the prime port for this commercial activity, and this accounts for the appearance of this second, Mamluk, group. The admiration in Europe and more particularly in Italy for the high quality of Islamic inlaid work explains the details of a third, western, group. Men like Benvenuto Cellini not only set out to emulate this technique, which they called 'azzimina, but to prove that they could do better.
