‎Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House, Deventer The Lives and Spirituality of the Sisters, c. 1390?c. 1460‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardcover, Pages: 352 pages,Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 3 col., Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503602509.‎

‎The Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House contains the lives of sixty-four Sisters of the Common Life who died between 1398 and 1456. Founded as an alms-house for destitute women in 1374, by the end of the fourteenth century Master Geert?s House had become a home for women desiring to live a life of humility and penitence, as well as in community of goods without vows. The Sisterbook was likely written sometime between 1460 and 1470, at a time when the religious fervour that had characterized the earlier Sisters had begun to wane. It was to incite the readers and hearers of the Sisterbook, which would have been read in the refectory during mealtimes, to imitate the earlier Sisters who are portrayed as outstanding examples of godliness and Sisters of the Common Life. The opening sentence of the Sisterbook succinctly sums up the author?s reason for writing it: ?Here begin some edifying points about our earlier Sisters whose lives it behoves us to have before our eyes at all times, for in their ways they were truly like a candle on a candlestick?, and who, by implication, could still illumine the way for her own generation of Sisters. The first foundation of Sisters of the Common Life, Master Geert?s House became the ?mother? house of numerous other houses in the Low Countries and Germany directly as well as indirectly and served as an inspiration for others. This book provides a study of the Sisterbook and its significance in the Devotio Moderna and late medieval female religiosity, while the accompanying translation introduces this important source to an English audience.

‎Rietveld Schroder House - A Biography of the House‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 896 pages, 22 x 15 cm, illustrated, Text in English-Nederlands, *New. . ISBN 9789464941432.‎

‎Rietveld Schr der House: A Biography of the House tells the story of the iconic house and its creators, Truus Schr der (1889?1985) and Gerrit Rietveld (1888?1964). The construction of the house, the designs by ?Schr der & Rietveld Architects?, the war years, the renovations and the many family parties: this richly illustrated publication builds up a picture of the colourful life of the idiosyncratic Rietveld Schr der House. In addition to many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, designs and letters, the book provides in-depth insight into Rietveld and Schr der?s collaboration and their shared ambition to radically change traditional (interior) architecture. The research by authors Natalie Dubois and Jessica van Geel also convincingly shows that Truus Schr der?s role was far greater than previously assumed. As a gifted designer, Schr der was much more than Gerrit Rietveld's ?muse?. Her creative vision proved crucial to their joint projects. With its bespoke design by Irma Boom, this publication is a tribute to the world-famous house built in 1924 that continues to inspire today. Rietveld Schr der House: A Biography of the House is an accessible and essential reference work for lovers of modern architecture, art history and revolutionary daring. This publication coincides with the centenary of the Rietveld Schr der House, and is issued in collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht.‎

‎Venetian and Ottoman Heritage in the Aegean: The Bailo House in Chalcis, Greece‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 296 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:205 b/w, 173 col., 3 maps b/w, 30 plans, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584096.‎

‎Summary This book tells the astonishing story of a secular building and its inhabitants over six centuries and four successive civilizations. The Bailo House was constructed as a public loggia in the 14th century by Venetian officials in their Aegean colony of Negroponte on the Byzantine island of Euripos. Italian designs were followed and copied in the style of the lagoon's palaces, digging the foundations through the earlier Byzantine layers. It later housed an Ottoman official, along perhaps with his apothecary. Thereafter, it was severely damaged before passing into the hands of a local Ottoman dignitary, who completely transformed it into a typical Middle Eastern mansion. In the late 19th century it was reshaped once more with a neoclassical fa ade to conform to the European models promoted by the Modern Greek state. Extensive study, excavations and restorations over a ten-year period revealed remarkable evidence for one of the few remaining examples of secular architecture in the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as abundant and rare information about urban planning, material culture, economic and cultural exchanges, art and aesthetics, etc. It is the tale of a harbor town that was always cosmopolitan, a port of call along the Silk Road, the winter base of the Ottoman fleet, a European enclave in the East.
