Summary Throughout the first centuries of its existence, the University of Louvain functioned as a crossroads for the transmission of texts, ideas, and even images from Antiquity, across the Middle Ages, and through the Renaissance. From its foundational bulls between 1425 and 1432, the university was established as a prototypical studium generale, drawing inspiration from earlier institutions in Paris and Cologne and adopting elements from contemporary universities like Rostock and Geneva. Situated at the heart of Europe, the University of Louvain quickly became a pivotal center for the reception and dissemination of both ancient and contemporary knowledge across the continent, and later, the Habsburg Empire. This volume examines how teachers and students examined old and innovative ideas across various constituent bodies of the university, including the Faculty of Arts or the College of the Three Tongues, or neighboring institutions, like the Jesuit College. Contributions span the Faculties of Law, adopting insights on the newly promulgated Tridentine decrees or novel moral economies, to the Faculty of Theology, a hotbed of the controversies surrounding grace, free will, and salvation in post-Tridentine Catholicism. Of the many scholars that were active in Louvain, special attention is devoted to the philologist Petrus Nannius, the theologians Michael Baius and Jacobus Janssonius, the lawyers Petrus Peckius and Johannes Wamesius, and the Jesuits Robertus Bellarminus and Leonardus Lessius, along with the lectures they gave at the Louvain house of their Order.

Summary Integrating prosopographical, cartographical, and book-historical data, this collective volume on the first University of Louvain (1425-1797) contributes to ongoing interdisciplinary inquiries into the intellectual productions of students, scholars, and printers in the Early Modern era. The ten contributions examine the state of the art at the University of Louvain, whose output was supported by the vibrant printing presses of the Low Countries and the continual mobility of its scholars across continental Europe. The essays first unravel the transregional circuits of Louvain's students, scholars, and printers, built upon their geographical mobility throughout Europe. The second part explores how early modern students at Louvain created their study materials by compiling lecture notes, rearranging the contents, and binding them into codices, often adorned with drawings or printed engravings - a practice that remained prevalent until the eighteenth century. Further contributions trace the introduction of the handpress to the city of Louvain, which, beginning in 1473, brought new opportunities for producing textbooks for broader markets, as typography and physical features transformed handbook production. Louvain's publication network was especially dense in the sixteenth century, and publication rates remained high through the eighteenth century. This volume offers new insights into the hybrid world of oral teaching, handwritten note-taking, and printed textbook production by students, scholars, and printers at one of Europe's intellectual crossroads.

Si, au sens large du terme, l? mulation peut rendre compte de la rivalit , n e de l?envie (?invidia?), qui conduit les uns la moquerie, les autres la calomnie ? voire au meurtre ! ?, elle se rapporte aussi la confrontation positive qui pousse faire aussi bien ou mieux qu?un autre, voire se d passer soi-m me. Sous la plume de Giorgio Vasari, la comp tition constitue m me, quand elle prend la forme de l? mulation, l?un des plus puissants moteurs du progr s dans les arts. L?objectif de ce volume collectif est d?explorer l? mulation dans les pratiques artistiques au premier ge moderne, en mettant les ?uvres en dialogue avec les th ories et l?historiographie de l?art. Il explore les ressorts de la volont des artistes d? galer ou de surpasser leurs mod les, qu?ils soient issus de la nature ou de ma tres, pr sents ou pass s.

Le peintre Otto Vaenius (Leyde 1556 ? Bruxelles 1629) n?a longtemps t connu que comme le ma tre de Rubens. Depuis quelques d cennies, le regain des tudes embl matiques a remis l?honneur ses recueils succ s : Emblemata Horatiana, Amorum Emblemata et Amoris Divini Emblemata. Mais certains de ses ouvrages plus confidentiels restent encore largement m connus. Tel est le cas des Physicae et theologicae conclusiones (1621), un petit opuscule d?une vingtaine de pages publi dans des circonstances myst rieuses, qui se propose rien moins que de r soudre par des notes et des figures le probl me de la pr destination et du libre arbitre ? un sujet alors br lant, qui a d?ailleurs valu l?auteur des probl mes avec l?Inquisition. Mais l?int r t de l?opuscule va bien au-del de l?enjeu th ologique : par l?invention d?un langage visuel in dit et d routant ( mi-chemin entre le g om trique et le figuratif, entre le diagramme et l?embl me), ainsi que par plusieurs chapitres explicitement consacr s aux pouvoirs des images et de l?imagination, l?ouvrage offre une tonnante cl de lecture l?ensemble de l??uvre de Vaenius, et constitue en m me temps un t moignage frappant de la cr ativit d?une poque en pleine mutation pist mologique. La pr sente dition propose une reproduction en fac-simil de cet opuscule rarissime ainsi que, pour la premi re fois, une traduction int grale en langue fran aise. Le texte est pr c d d?une introduction nourrie, fruit d?une collaboration entre cinq chercheurs croisant des approches historiques, litt raires, artistiques et s miotiques. Les Conclusiones sont ainsi remises dans le contexte de leur poque, au c?ur des querelles th ologiques mais aussi au croisement de deux courants de pens e majeurs qui ont impr gn la r flexion de Vaenius, le n o-sto cisme de Juste Lipse et l?alchimie de Paracelse ; dans un second temps, elles sont tudi es en profondeur dans leur rapport particulier aux images, qui apparaissent la fois comme le moyen et l?objet de la d monstration propos e. Enfin, l?ouvrage se cl ture par une s rie d?outils facilitant la consultation de l?ensemble : trois index (des noms propres, des passages bibliques, des notions fran aises et latines) ainsi qu?une abondante bibliographie.

Summary Le pr sent volume rassemble une s rie d' tudes qui ont t men es et/ou pr sent es dans le cadre du programme de recherche Cultures du Spectacle Baroque entre Italie et anciens Pays-Bas financ par la Politique scientifique f d rale belge. Il se donne pour ambition de renouveler l'analyse historique et th orique des solennit s spectaculaires en s'int ressant tout particuli rement aux effets produits par les dispositifs d ploy s lors de ce type de manifestations. Par ailleurs, soucieux d' largir le champ d j bien explor des rituels civiques ou monarchiques, il porte essentiellement l'accent sur les solennit s religieuses. Tout en tenant compte de la circulation l' chelle europ enne et m me mondiale des mod les festifs, il veille galement privil gier la comparaison entre deux espaces culturels, les anciens Pays-Bas et l'Italie, qui, bien qu'ils d veloppent des cultures festives propres ancr es dans des traditions locales, n'entretiennent pas moins des changes qui s'acc l rent partir du XVIe si cle. Il ne s'agit cependant moins d'envisager les traces de ces influences que de mieux comprendre la fa on dont ces deux cultures ont pu construire, ind pendamment l'une de l'autre et/ou au contact l'une avec l'autre, de m mes conceptions de l'exp rience festive, au-del de la diff rence des moyens mis en oeuvre.

The present volume of essays, Emblemata Sacra. The Rhetoric and Hermeneutics of Illustrated Sacred Discourse, follows a conference that took place in January 2005 in Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, thanks to the close collaboration between the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Literature Department) and the Universite Catholique de Louvain (the research group 'Figures et formes de la spiritualite dans la litterature et les expressions artistiques'). The 38 essays have been organised in seven sections. The first section ('Historical and methodological issues') presents methodological bases for the study of emblematics and spiritual images, as well as the elements necessary for the Christian contextualisation of the corpus. The second section ('Exegesis of the Scriptures and the Creation'), complementary to the first section, is devoted to exegetical processes developed in different contexts and seeks to emphasise the correspondence between the exegesis of Sacred Scripture and the exegesis of the Creation, which are the two central symbolisms in Christianity. The third section ('The image in absentia') focuses on the most critical aspect of the encounter between the Word and the Image, in the form of a paradoxical iconoclastic image, already mentioned in the first section. The fourth section ('Rhetoric and poetics of the image') exposes the mutual exchanges between the word of the images and the images of the word. The last three sections all deal with the uses of figures in determined contexts. Thus, the fifth section ('The image performance') explores staged, incarnated, and exhibited figures, while the sixth section ('Circulation of images among different faiths') gathers studies about different confessional contexts in which spiritual images are used to support and feed the polemics, and the seventh section ('The efficient image') opens up the chronology toward the 19th century and then to our own time. Languages : English, French.

Ut pictura meditatio: The Meditative Image in Northern Art, 1500 -1700 examines the form, function, and meaning of pictorial images produced and/or circulated in the Low Countries, Germany, and northern France as templates for the meditative life and its spiritual exercises. Our epigraph ut pictura meditatio (as is a picture, so is meditation) connotes the ways in which pictures facilitated meditative prayer and, conversely, the extent to which such prayer was experienced visually. Our essayists are prominent scholars in the fields of art history, history, literary studies, philosophy, and religious studies, all of whom study the ways in which visual images served to structure the interior religious life of laity and clergy in the early modern period. The volume asks how and why images were used not only to initiate, sustain, and structure kinds and degrees of meditative and contemplative devotion, but also to figure the soul's cognitive operations, its negotiation between states of being, between interior and exterior sense, between corporeal and spiritual sight. Implicit in this questioning are further explorations of the nature and scope of the interplay among mental, visual, and verbal images, and the subject positions such images allowed the votary to represent and inhabit. These questions touch upon issues of identity, subjectivity, and figuration that should be of interest to historians of art, literature, religion, and society. Languages : English.

Apres avoir longtemps ete mise a la marge des etudes en histoire de l'art, la question de l'ornement fait aujourd'hui l'objet d'un regain d'interet considerable et de profonds renouvellements theoriques et methodologiques. S'inscrivant dans un champ de recherche en plein (re)developpement, le propos de cet ouvrage est de questionner la nature, les fonctions et les usages de l?ornement a un moment particulier de son histoire: les Temps Modernes. Comment l?ornement a-t-il pu etre compris, exploite, legitime, canalise par un discours qui s'est cristallise autour des genres'et de leur hierarchie?? Face a ce discours, comment l?ornement a pu reellement faire sens dans l?histoire des arts et comment l?histoire de l?art comme discipline peut aujourd?hui en rendre compte?? Si la nature de l?ornement reside dans sa transversalite, ou sa capacite a affecter selon des modalites diverses tous les genres artistiques, quels sont les specificites et les roles qu?il tient dans chacun de ces domaines artistiques ? Comment l?ornement a pu faire sens au sein d?un reseau d?acteurs multiples, constitue des artistes et des commanditaires d?une part et des spectateurs d?autre part ? Pour comprendre les jeux et les enjeux qu?il recouvre et les multiples sens qu?il revet au cours de la periode des Temps Modernes, l?ornement est interroge ici a travers une grande diversite de corpus et de methodes?: de l?architecture aux arts decoratifs, de la peinture a la gravure, des sources textuelles au traitement des formes et des matieres, de l?Italie aux Pays-Bas, de la France a l?Angleterre, du Quattrocento au siecle des Lumieres, le phenomene ornemental est aborde a travers des approches multiples et croisees, historiographique et methodologique, historique et theorique, formelle, fonctionnelle et iconologique.
