‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 4 vols, lxviii + 2122 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:297 b/w, 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503574899.‎

‎Summary The product of an international interdisciplinary team, the History and Structures strand of the Pre-Christian Religion of the North series aims to approach the subject by giving equal weight to archaeological and textual sources, taking into consideration recent theories on religion within all the disciplines that are needed in order to gain a comprehensive view of the religious history and world view of pre-Christian Scandinavia from the perspective of the beginning of the twenty-first century. Volume I presents the basic premises of the study and a consideration of the sources: memory and oral tradition, written sources, religious vocabulary, place names and personal names, archaeology, and images. Volume II treats the social, geographical, and historical contexts in which the religion was practiced and through which it can be understood. This volume also includes communication between worlds, primarily through various ritual structures. Volume III explores conceptual frameworks: the cosmos and collective supernatural beings (notions regarding the cosmos and regarding such collective supernatural beings as the norns, valkyries, giants, and dwarfs) and also gods and goddesses (including rr, inn, Freyr, Freyja, and many others). Volume IV describes the process of Christianization in the Nordic region and also includes a bibliography and indices for the entire four-volume work. TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume 1.

‎Exceedingly rare photo-album documenting the Danish vessel Tordenskjold’s mission in laying the very first telegraph cables in East Asia thereby connecting China and Japan to the global telegraph system. The album consists of photos taken aboard the vessel Tordenskjold, of Tordenskjold itself along with its crew, by an unknown photographer, and of photographs of the visited cities and surrounding areas by some of the finest photographers operating in East Asia at the time, such as John Thomson, William Floyd, Felice Beato and, in Egypt, Hippolyte Arnoux - all photographs presumably brought home by William Lund, Captain on board Tordenskjold. Through some of the earliest photos taken in China, Japan, and of the excavation of the Suez Canal, the present album depicts a pivotal moment in international relations and communications. Submarine telegraph cables were first brought to China by Danish magnate Carl Fredrick Tietgen (1829-1901), who in 1870 set up the Great Northern China and Japan Extension Company. The company was created to build and operate a telegraph cable connecting Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Japan, continuing on to Vladivostok on Russia's East coast. From Vladivostok, a cable ran along the Trans-Siberian Railway, linking Hong Kong to telegraph networks in Britain, Europe, and America. Tietgen fought off strong competition - primarily English-, and eventually won the concession to lay and operate new telegraph cables connecting Russia, China and Japan. Tietgen and his partners had embarked upon a grand and risky project. Undersea cables would need to be laid in waters that had not been sounded, cables were to be brought ashore on coasts where the prevailing conditions were not known, and it was uncertain whether the respective governments would grant permission. Everything – cables, stations, wire, and apparatus – was to be brought from Europe and had to function as a coherent system. Two chartered English steamships ‘Cella’ and ‘Great Northern’ were to transport and lay the cables, and the propeller-driven Danish frigate ‘Tordenskjold’ was to sound the waters near Nagasaki and Vladivostok, it had to also carry a relatively small amount of cables, and it was to keep away uninvited guests (of which there were plenty in the South China Sea). “As a small nation with negligible military resources, Denmark could provide a useful – politically neutral – centre for telegraph links to major European powers such as Britain, Russia and the emerging new power of Prussia. The Danes were able to utilize the technical know-how which had been accumulated with great difficulty, and occasionally heavy economic losses, in the preceding decades by British and American entrepreneurs. The competition between the Danish and British groups of telegraph entrepreneurs for first access to the Chinese market was preliminarily resolved when the directors of the two companies negotiated a secret agreement in May 1870. The Danish group had acquired an advantage in terms of timing by winning the Russian concession in 1869, and had to cover shorter distances by sea cables from Vladivostok to Nagasaki and Shanghai. But the British group had the advantage of better access to capital and a more extensive technical experience with submarine cable manufacture and operation. The essence of the agreement was that the line between Hong Kong and Shanghai should be established and operated by the Great Northern the companies would share the income for telegrams which passed this section of the line and they would run offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai jointly. The agreement provided the Danes with assured landing rights in Hong Kong and with British diplomatic support for attempts to secure landing rights in China. Permission to bring submarine telegraph cables into Chinese treaty ports was obtained in 1870 from the Chinese Government (i.e., the office of foreign affairs, known as the Zongli Yamen) by the British Minister in Peking, Thomas Wade. At the same time, the Danish government had dispatched a diplomatic envoy, Chamberlain Julius Sick, at the Great Northern’s expense to China and Japan to obtain the necessary concessions. The cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai was laid in 1870–1871 with the assistance of the frigate Tordenskjold, which the Danish government had generously allocated to the task. The Great Northern had a great deal of technical problems with the cables they had bought from the British manufacturer since the quality of the insulation was not as good as expected. Therefore, the official opening of the line between Shanghai and Hong Kong was delayed until April 1871. During the remainder of that year the company struggled to finish cable sections from Shanghai to Nagasaki, and from Nagasaki to Vladivostok. Communication between Shanghai and Europe via these cables and the Russian Siberian lines was officially inaugurated on 1 January 1872.” (Erik Baark: Wires, Codes and People The Great Northern Telegraph Company in China 1870–90) The album covers and illustrates one on the most fascinating periods in the process of internationalization in the late modern period: The Suez Canal had just opened and ‘Tordenskjold’ was the first Danish ship to sail through it. The submarine cables linked the major hubs in East Asia to the Western world and helped facilitate an unprecedented growth in the region. Overall, the laying of the submarine cable in 1870-71 was a transformative event for East Asia in general. It played a critical role in the area's economic and social development, helping to make it the global commercial center it is today. ‎

‎The Radical: An Autobiography. By the Author of ""The Member, ""The Ayrshire Legatees"", etc. etc. - [WHO IS JOHN GALT?]‎

‎The scarce first edition of one of the main works of John Galt, the first political novelist in the English language. Althought the name ""Gohn Galt"" is now primarily associated with the main character of Ayn Rand's modern political classic ""Atlas Shrugged"", the ""real"" John Galt (1779-1839) was one of the best known Scottish political and social novelists of the 19th century. Like Rand's John Galt, he too was an entrepeneur, greatly active in political and social issues. Because he was the first novelist to deal with issues of the industrial revolution, he has been called the first political novelist in the English language.""The Radical"" is a study of religion, politics and law in the local boroughs of Scotland during the transitional late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. As several of his other novels, it is concerned with the effects of change upon communities and upon the social institutions that shape those communities. The work is famous for its, prosaic studies, that are, however, far from dry, and Galt’s storytelling is known to be characterised by wit and humour.Together ""The Radical"" and ""The Member"" (also 1832) make up what John Galt himself calls ""the Reform"", as he states in his autobiography, ""they serve to illustrate, by the by, the sagicity of the trade, for they are thought to have too much a seeming of truth, and the sale of them has not been satisfactory. [...]The Radical [...] is deduced from principles and feelings coeval with human nature. It seems to me that the Radicals of our time forget that we are living in society for the benefitsof which we have surrendered a portion of our natural rights. The work in consequence turns on supposing, that what our natural feelings prompt must therefore be what we are entitled to do and to enjoy, forgetting altogether how much the social ties restrain the exercise of natural rights. But although some of my friends think the two works clever and philosophical, and although, on the Continent they have attracted more attantion than any other product of my pen, they have almost been still-born here. [...]."" (John Galt, The Literary Life and Miscellanies of John Galt, 1834, pp. 318-19). John Galt was born in Irvine as the son of a sea captain who traded with the West Indies. In 1789 the family moved to Greenock and much of Galt’s fiction draws from the localities of the west coast of Scotland where he spent his youth. John Galt was possessed of a pragmatic as well as an imaginative turn of mind. He had a keen interest in business and politics and always maintained that he regarded writing as a secondary profession. From 1796 - 1804 Galt worked as a junior justice clerk in Greenock before setting off for London on a sudden impulse of restless ambition. Here he studied political economy and commercial history and practise but failed to really make his mark on the business world despite several promising ventures.Around the age of twenty-four Galt began writing. He experimented in verse but was an inferior poet. Several of his essays, however, were published and this writing at this time demonstrates his early interest in politics and the colonies, particularly Canada which had long captured his imagination.In 1809 Galt spent a period of time travelling on the Mediterranean and it was here that he made his acquaintance with Lord Byron who was to become the subject of his acclaimed biography The Life of Byron in 1830. In 1811 he returned to London, his commercial aspirations disappointed and turned to journalism as a means of making money. At 34, he married the daughter of his literary patron, Alexander Tilloch. It was at this time too that Galt gained his experience of the workings of Parliament as a lobbyist for the Edinburgh-Glasgow canal. These experiences were to be formative in Galt’s later political career in Canada and were also to inform his later political novels, The Radical and The Member.Despite critical and commercial success, Galt had not abandoned his business aspirations. In 1824 Galt became actively involved in political campaigning on behalf of the Canadian colony and two years later left for Canada leaving the manuscript for The Last of the Lairds with his publisher. During the years 1827-29 Galt developed the virgin territories of the Canadian colony and founded the townships of Guelph and Goderich. For Galt, the Canadian project was the realisation of his most profound ambitions. But he was to fall foul of colonial bureaucracy and was eventually forced to return to Britain in 1829 under charges of debt and placed in prison.Having returned to Britain, John Galt began writing again, and in 1832 he produced two of his most famous works, ""The Radical"" and ""The Member"", for which he is primarily remembered today. ‎

‎Première traduction française, donnée par Paul-François Velly (1709-1759), des 5 pamphlets rédigés par le médecin et homme de lettres écossais John Arbuthnot (1667-1735), avec l'aide de son ami Swift, pour favoriser les négociations du gouvernement tory avec la France dans le dessein de terminer la Guerre de succession d'Espagne, et réunis dans la satire intitulée : The law is a bottomless pit, or The History of John Bull, exemplify'd in the case of the Lord Strutt, John Bull, Nicholas Frog, and Lewis Baboon. Who spent all they had in a law-suit. Printed from a manuscript found in the cabinet of the famous Sir Humphry Polesworth (Londres, John Morphew, 1712). John Bull est évidemment la personnification de l'Angleterre, et Lewis Baboon celle de Louis XIV [Baboon = Bourbon], tandis que le défunt Lord Strutt représente évidemment Charles II d'Espagne. Le ton grinçant et le caractère grotesque des personnages font effectivement penser à Swift, mais la manière est étrangère au satiriste, et l'accord s'est fait sur une attribution essentielle à Arbuthnot.Il est important de noter que l'ouvrage contient la toute première figuration de la Grande-Bretagne sous les traits de John Bull, dont les caractéristiques, désormais fixées, ne peuvent être décrites qu'en anglais : "A stout, middle-aged, country-dwelling, jolly and matter-of-fact man".Quérard I,81.RELIÉ À LA SUITE : [GOUDAR (Ange) :] La paix de l'Europe ne peut s'établir qu'à la suite d'une longue trêve, ou Projet de pacification générale, combiné par une suspension d'armes de vingt ans, entre toutes les puissances politiques.

‎John of Garland's De triumphis Ecclesie. A new critical edition with introduction and translation‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 417 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:10 col., Languages: English, Latin. ISBN 9782503585116.‎

‎Summary This is the first translation in any language of John of Garland's poem about the historical events of his lifetime (c. 1195- c. 1258), together with revised Latin text, introduction and notes. This work gives a vivid picture of Anglo-French relations, of studies in Toulouse after the Albigensian Crusade, and of the need for faith following Louis' catastrophic defeat in the Seventh Crusade. John gives us insights into his own life, and a stream of stories, holy and profane. The translation and notes bring to life for a wide range of medievalists this eye-witness account by an Englishman in France of major events of the age, especially 1242-52. They make clear John's debts to classical authors and to contemporaries, especially Alan of Lille and Matthew Paris. Through re-ordering the lines, this edition now generates clarity from the single manuscript. It also offers fresh insights and a new perspective on John of Garland himself.

‎Rare exemplaire de ce recueil de poèmes composés par le sculpteur Gérard Voisin et illustrés par le peintre John Christoforou. Lauteur des poèmes, Gérard Voisin est un artiste sculpteur et poète français né en 1934 à Nantes qui fut lami du photographe Robert Doisneau, du chanteur Claude Nougaro et du peintre Corneille. À lâge de 14 ans, Gérard Voisin se fait embaucher aux fonderies de la ville et se lance en parallèle dans le militantisme syndical et l'écriture poétique. Au début des années 1960, l'artiste ouvrier squatte une maison abandonnée. Il commence à sculpter des morceaux de bois, avec un couteau, et en fait des visages. Dans les années 1970, Gérard Voisin gagne la capitale et fréquente des artistes proches du « mouvement CoBrA ». Tout en poursuivant lécriture de ses poèmes, il se passionne pour l'art africain. En sculptant le bois et le bronze, les corps, le désir, il s'en sent proche. Il milite pour le travail de mémoire sur l'esclavage, les colonies, il collabore avec des artistes du continent africain. En 2002, il réalise un monument commémorant l'abolition de l'Esclavage, intitulée « Tendresse, Égalité, Fraternitéà (2002) à Saint-Herblain (Loire-Atlantique). Il a été nommé Artiste pour la paix de l'UNESCO en 2005. Collectionneur, Gérard Voisin a accumulé des milliers de livres et revues dont une bibliothèque réservée à la traite négrière, 30 000 papiers coupés, 7 000 cartes postales sur lAfrique subsaharienne. Lauteur des trois lithographies illustrant notre ouvrage est le peintre français d'origine grecque, né à Londres John Christoforou (1921-2014). Il est marqué ses deux années daffectation dans la Royal Air Force ,pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, aux missions de sauvetage en mer de victimes de la guerre et des cyclones sévissant sur l'océan indien. En 1949 : première exposition personnelle à Twenty brook Street gallery à Londres. En 1951 : séjour à Paris où il découvre tous les grands musées. En 1953 : retour à Londres où il expose à la Gimpel Fils Gallery. En1957 : il sinstalle à Paris et travaille aussi à Aix-en-Provence chez le sculpteur Marius Bruel.

Exposition rétrospective au Randers Kunstmuseum, Danemark. En 1975 : première participation à la FIAC (galerie Rive Gauche). Christophorou a développé une peinture expressionniste forte, où le noir domine. Les thèmes figuratifs développés par le peintre sont ceux de la guerre, des accouchements, crucifixions et épouvantails, notamment. Louvrage comporte de 3 poèmes sur le thème de loiseau composés par Gérard Voisin, avec en regard les trois lithographies de John Christoforou, numérotées et signées de sa main. Exemplaire sur Velin d'Arche n° 190 de cette unique édition produit à 280 exemplaires par le lithographe Georges Girard et Imprimerie Clot Bramsen. Bel exemplaire demeuré frais. 1 vol. in-plano (475 x 363 mm) of: [7] ff including 3 color plates numbered and signed by the artist, copy on Velin d'Arche n° 190 of 280. (transfer marks opposite the illustrations). Cover printed in black on thick gray embossed Japanese paper, unbound. Rare copy of this collection of poems composed by sculptor Gérard Voisin and illustrated by painter John Christoforou. The author of the poems, Gérard Voisin, is a French sculptor and poet born in 1934 in Nantes who was a friend of photographer Robert Doisneau, singer Claude Nougaro, and painter Corneille. At the age of 14, Gérard Voisin was hired at the city's foundries and at the same time became involved in union activism and poetic writing. In the early 1960s, the working-class artist squatted in an abandoned house. He began carving pieces of wood with a knife, turning them into faces. In the 1970s, Gérard Voisin moved to the capital and frequented artists close to the CoBrA movement. While continuing to write his poems, he developed a passion for African art. By sculpting wood and bronze, bodies, and desire, he felt close to it. He campaigned for the preservation of the memory of slavery and the colonies, and collaborated with artists from the African continent. In 2002, he created a monument commemorating the abolition of slavery, entitled Tendresse, Égalité, Fraternité (2002) in Saint-Herblain (Loire-Atlantique). He was named UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2005. A collector, Gérard Voisin has amassed thousands of books and magazines, including a library devoted to the slave trade, 30,000 cut papers, and 7,000 postcards on sub-Saharan Africa. The author of the three lithographs illustrating our book is the French painter of Greek origin, born in London, John Christoforou (1921-2014). He was marked by his two years of service in the Royal Air Force during World War II, on rescue missions at sea for victims of war and cyclones raging in the Indian Ocean. In 1949, he had his first solo exhibition at the Twenty Brook Street Gallery in London. In 1951, he stayed in Paris, where he discovered all the major museums. In 1953, he returned to London, where he exhibited at the Gimpel Fils Gallery. In 1957, he moved to Paris and also worked in Aix-en-Provence with the sculptor Marius Bruel. In 1971: exhibition at the Galerie Vercamer, Paris, with Arman, Enrico Baj, Mandeville, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Charles Lapicque, Alberto Magnelli, Roberto Matta, and Georges Noël. In 1974: exhibition devoted to Christoforou's work on the theme of Night and Nothingness at the Musée Galliera in Paris. Publication of a monograph. Retrospective exhibition at the Randers Kunstmuseum, Denmark. In 1975: first participation in the FIAC (Rive Gauche gallery). Christophorou developed a strong expressionist style of painting, dominated by black. The figurative themes developed by the painter include war, childbirth, crucifixions, and scarecrows. The book includes three poems on the theme of birds composed by Gérard Voisin, accompanied by three lithographs by John Christoforou, numbered and signed by the artist. Copy on Velin d'Arche n° 190 of this unique edition produced in 280 copies by lithographer Georges Girard and Imprimerie Clot Bramsen. A beautiful copy that has remained in good condition.‎

Le duc de Cumberland, en tant qu'ami particulier de Lord Eldon, est présent, comme pour partager la satisfaction de voir l'accueil cordial que son roi et son frère réserveraient à un vieux et précieux conseiller de la couronne. Une telle visite, cependant, suffit à exciter la jalousie du nouveau chancelier, Lord Lyndhurst, qui exprime son malaise en demandant avec anxiété à son collègue, Sir Robert Peel, ce que l'ex-favori peut bien vouloir à la cour si peu de temps après sa retraite ; et Sir Robert Peel, en guise de plaisanterie, et pour accroître les soupçons de son ami, répond que la visite le concerne très probablement".

Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Bt (1788-1850), Prime Minister.) Description is: "An announcement in the Court Circular that His Majesty George IV. received a visit from Lord Eldon who (of course) was most graciously received, suggested the idea of this sketch. The Duke of Cumberland, as the particular friend of Lord Eldon, stands by, as if to share the gratification of seeing the cordial reception which his king and brother would give to an old and valued adviser of the crown. Such a visit, however, is quite enough to excite the jealousy of the new Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst, who expresses his uneasiness by an anxious enquiry of his colleague, Sir Robert Peel, what the ex-favourite can want at court so soon after his retirement; and Sir Robert Peel, by way of waggery, and to increase the suspicion of his friend, replies that the visit most probably relates to him."

‎Première édition en français de cet ouvrage peu commun traduit de langlais sur la base du travail de John Locke (1632-1704). Célèbre philosophe anglais, John Locke est une des figures importantes du rationalisme. Opposé à l'absolutisme en Angleterre et proche du comte de Shaftesbury Anthony Ashley-Cooper (1621-1683), il contribue aux théories naissantes du contrat social, de la loi et du droit naturel, ainsi quà létat de nature. Bien plus tard, à partir du XIXe siècle, on le considérera comme lun des précurseurs du libéralisme. Le premier tome du présent ouvrage traite de : « Histoire de la Navigation, son commencement, ses progrès et ses découvertes jusquà présent ». Dans cette partie, lauteur dresse un tableau global de lhistoire de la navigation remontant jusquaux premiers bateaux ayant entrepris des traversées périlleuses. Le second tome, quant à lui, se concentre sur : « Histoire de la Navigation, le Commerce avec les Indes Occidentales ». Dans cette partie, John Locke aborde majoritairement la découverte des Indes occidentales par Christophe Colomb et les voyages successifs qui lon suivit. Ainsi, il y est question des îles de Cuba, de Curaçao, de Martinique, de Guadeloupe, de Grenade ou encore de Saint-Vincent ainsi que des activités des espagnols, français anglais et hollandais dans ces îles. Enfin, les pp. 177 à 316 comportent : « Un Catalogue des meilleures Cartes Géographiques et des meilleurs Livres de Voyages, et le caractère de leurs auteurs ». Provenance : Jean-Claude Dezauche (1745-1824), ingénieur-géographe, graveur, éditeur et marchand de cartes. (ex-libris gravé au dos des premiers plats). Bel Exemplaire bien conservé. 2 vol. 12mo (163 x 102 mm) of : I. [6] ff. (title, preface, approval, privilege) ; 378 pp. ; [3] ff. (table) ; II. [4] ff. (title, table) ; 316 pp. Full contemporary calf, spine ribbed and decorated, titles and endpapers in red morocco, cold fillet framing the boards, gilt roulette on the edges, edges spotted with red. (Some foxing or stains). First edition in French of this unusual work translated from English and base on the work of John Locke (1632-1704). Famous English philosopher, John Locke is one of the important figures of rationalism. Opposed to absolutism in England and close to the Earl of Shaftesbury, Anthony Ashley-Cooper (1621-1683), he contributed to the emerging theories of social contract, law and natural law, and the state of nature. Much later, from the 19th century on, he was considered one of the precursors of liberalism. The first volume of the present work deals with: "History of Navigation, its beginning, its progress and discoveries until now" (translated from French). In this part, the author talks about the history of navigation as a whole going back to the first ships that undertook perilous crossings. The second volume focuses on: "History of Navigation, Commerce with the West Indies" (translated from French). In this part, John Locke deals mainly with the discovery of the West Indies by Christopher Columbus and the successive voyages that followed. Thus, the islands of Cuba, Curacao, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Grenada and St. Vincent are discussed, as well as the activities of the Spanish, French, English and Dutch in these islands. Finally, pp. 177-316 include: "A Catalogue of the best Geographical Maps and Travel Books, and the character of their authors" (translated from French). Provenance: Jean-Claude Dezauche (1745-1824), engineer-geographer, engraver, publisher and map dealer. (ex-libris engraved on the back of the first plates). Beautiful and well preserved copy.‎
