Between Tradition and Innovation Gregorio a San Vicente and the Flemish Jesuit Mathematics School
, Brill, 2021 Hardcover, 294 pages Illustrated. ISBN 9789004414990.
In Between Tradition and Innovation, Ad Meskens traces the profound influence of a group of Flemish Jesuits on the course of mathematics in the seventeenth century. Using manuscript evidence, this book argues that one of the Flemish mathematics school?s professors, Gregorio a San Vicente (1584?1667), had developed a logically sound integration method more than a decade before the Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri. Although San Vincente?s superiors refused to grant him permission to publish his results, his methods went on to influence numerous other mathematicians through his students, many of whom became famous mathematicians in their own right. By carefully tracing their careers and outlining their biographies, Meskens convincingly shows that they made a number of ground-breaking contributions to fields ranging from mathematics and mechanics to optics and architecture.

Instant Light Beno t van Innis
, Posture editions , 2020 128 pages, 21 cm 30 cm nieuw . ISBN 9789491262364.
On Day 1 of the Belgian lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic Beno t van Innis made a drawing with a black felt-tip pen on an A4 sheet. He sent the drawing to some friends?most of them from the art world?by mail and WhatsApp. On Day 2 of the lockdown, he made a second drawing and again he sent it to his friends and acquaintances. The response was overwhelmingly positive. The drawings were shared on social media and dS Weekblad published an interview and five drawings. The protagonist in these drawings is the artist himself, who reacts to the exceptional situation departing from his own universe. The book Instant Light compiles the entire series of drawings Beno t made in his studio in Brussels. They feature all his favourite subjects: painting, Club Brugge, literature, the world of art and French chanson. The book is published by Posture Editions in a co-production with Be-Part Kortrijk/Waregem, Hof van Busleyden Mechelen and Berg Institute Madrid. The publication is a collection of unique drawings that constitute a personal account of this unprecedented period in our history. It?s as if these stylishly elegant and sometimes virtuoso drawings instantly brighten up this dark page; they also provide an ideal diversion from the countless bad tidings we?re confronted with every day. Beno t van Innis (b. 1960) studied painting with Dan Van Severen at Sint-Lucas in Ghent. Shortly after graduating his drawings were published in De Morgen and De Standaard der Letteren. Since 1989, he has drawn 31 covers for The New Yorker. Beno t is widely known for the eight portraits he created for the tiled walls in the Brussels metro station Maalbeek. This beautiful work of art became the setting for a terrorist attack in 2016. Released at Museum Hof van Busleyden, 2 July 2020 and Be Part Kortrijk, 5 Sep 2020
Joannes della Faille s.j. Mathematics, Modesty and Missed Opportunities,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2005 Paperback, 177 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9789074461535.
Every study on sir Anthony Van Dijck contains the portrait of Joannes della Faille s.j. While the portrait is well-known, much less is known about the sitter. Yet Joannes della Faille (1597-1652) was one of the finest mathematicians of his generation. He was one of the first students of Gregorius a Sancto Vincentio s.j. and arguably his best. Della Faille published only one book 'De Centro Gravitatis' in which he calculates the centroid of an ellipse sector. Although this book is elegantly written it was soon superseded by other books on the same subject. This means that della Faille became no more than a footnote in the history of mathematics. Newly discovered manuscript evidence shows that della Faille's research on conic sections was probably on par with that of Pascal and Desargues, whose mathematical work was only saved from oblivion in the nineteenth century. Della Faille did not have that luck and consequently was nearly forgotten. In this study della Faille's results are discussed and a plea is made for reappraisal of his work.

Ruben Bellinkx, No obstacle, no image
, MER.paperkunsthalle, 2014 Hardback, 240x200mm, 208p, English edition, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9789491775239.
De titel No obstacle, no image verwijst naar het feit dat de meeste projecten van Ruben Bellinkx alles behalve evident zijn. De verbazing bij het publiek is altijd groot wanneer blijkt dat zijn tekeningen en maquettes voorstudies zijn voor werkelijk uit te voeren projecten. Hij duwt steeds tegen de grenzen van de onmogelijkheid. De uiteindelijke werken zijn het resultaat van een langdurig voorzichtig aftasten van de fysieke mogelijkheden. Het pad dat naar de werken leidt, is bezaaid met obstakels. Ruben Bellinkx creeer die obstakels bewust, Ze zijn noodzakelijk voor zijn werk. Het boek zal een portret zijn van zijn artistiek praktijk van de de laatse 10 jaar. De lezer kan zich onderdompelen in alle facetten van zijn werk: van voorbereidende fase, de tekeningen, maquettes tot het eigenlijke werk.
Mercator: Exploring New Horizons
, BAI, 2012 softcover, 124 pag. 26x21cm, Illustrated. ISBN 9789085866299.
The European perspective opened up markedly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a whole new world unfolded. Explorers, traders and diplomats committed their travelling experiences to paper in journals and reports. They sketched out their impressions of recently discovered territories, making it possible for us today to see how they viewed other cultures at that time. These travel narratives may have been embroidered with a certain degree of fantasy at times, nevertheless, they also frequently provided precise descriptions of exotic regions. They were important sources of information for cartography, which underwent an explosive evolution as a result. Navigational knowledge also grew considerably as a consequence of the traveller's urge to explore. After all, maritime expansion on a vast scale led to a need for new techniques and instruments in order to reach destinations quickly and safely. The development of cartography, in which Gerard Mercator played a pivotal role, was in turn responsible for expanding the mobility of Europeans as a whole. It was not uncommon for adventurous sixteenth-century travellers to embark on lengthy journeys as part of a trade mission or in connection with their education. One such young adventurer was Balthasar III Moretus. He made several journeys throughout Europe, including one to Italy, and kept journals of his observations on the way. Mercator: Exploring New Horizons maps out literally and figuratively this fascinating period of interplay between European travelling behaviour and the development of cartography.
