(Catalogue B. Quaritch, 1859). “Now complete, containing 31 large Lithographs. From the ‘Times’, Sept. 25. Among the splendid illustrated works by which this age is distinguished, there is, perhaps, none that will excel the ‘Oriental Album’, which is devoted to the pictorial exhibition of Egyptian life. The chief illustrations consist of large coloured lithographs, representing the costume and habits of all classes. These are beautifully drawn by Mr. Prisse, and finished with that scrupulous attention to elaborate detail which is so necessary when designs are to be means of information as well as choice Works of Art”. “From the ‘Spectator’, Sept. 12. The air of life, the force of effect, the brilliant but harmonious colouring, render the prints among the very finest works of their kind. The influence of such a book on the mind is analogous to that of travelling: it extends our knowledge of different modes of existence, and helps us to limit our category of necessaries. To possess such a work, therefore, is a luxury which counteracts the influence of luxury; though, indeed, to many it will furnish materials much more substantially useful than any more luxury”. (The Athenaeum: Journal of Literature, Science, the Fine Arts, etc., 1850).‎

‎Question of Life and Death. Living and Dying in Medieval Philosophy. Acts of the XXIII Annual Colloquium of the Soci t Internationale pour l' tude de la Philosophie M di vale, Leuven, 11-12 October 2018‎

‎Summary Living and dying are essential concepts in Aristotelian natural philosophy and psychology. It is then no surprise that when the libri naturales were translated into Latin from the twelfth century onwards, this gave birth to an extensive interpretative tradition in the Latin West in which life and death as conceived by Aristotle were theorized and reflected upon, for example in the numerous commentaries of the De Anima but also of the Parva Naturalia. Yet the medieval inquiry into living and dying is not limited to natural philosophy nor the Aristotelian tradition but can also be found in ethics, metaphysics, theology, medicine and others domains. Many topics are addressed in the volume: radical moisture and the possibility of increasing lifespan, suicide, essence of life, contrast between life of the body and life of the soul, future life, and so on. The volume is also a hommage to Pieter De Leemans, an eminent specialist of the Latin translations of Aristotle's books on natural philosophy, who was the intitiator of this scientific project.
