‎Yale, Yale University Press/ MoMA, 2014 Original publishers paper-covered boards, 190 pages, 21 x 27 cm, ENG text. ISBN 9780300203905.‎

‎ paperback volume charting the thirty-year career of a widely celebrated, American-born conceptual artist Representing Christopher Williams's first publication with a major American museum, this illuminating and unusual volume is equal parts artist's book and exhibition catalogue. Over the course of his thirty-year career, Williams (b. 1956) has crafted photographs that engage-often through uncanny mimicry-the conventions of photojournalism, picture archives, and commercial imagery, as well as their sociopolitical contexts and implications. The book includes a trio of essays by curators Mark Godfrey, Roxana Marcoci, and Matthew S. Witkovsky, which explore Williams's engagement with his artistic peers and predecessors, with cinema (particularly the film-essay), and with the methods and modes of display and publicity in the art world, in addition to a transcript of a talk Williams delivered on the work of John Chamberlain. These more conventional contributions are "interrupted" by additional historical and contemporary textual and visual materials that were selected by the artist himself and are occasionally presented in facsimile form. An exhibition history, bibliography, and illustrated list of works round out the publication. ‎

‎Architecture of Disjuncture. Mediterranean Trade and Cathedral Building in a New Diocese (11th-13th Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xvi + 157 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:80 b/w, 1 col., 15 tables b/w., 15 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581088.‎

‎Summary Through careful analysis of the Romanesque cathedral of Molfetta (in Apulia, southern Italy), Williams demonstrates how the commercial boom of the medieval Mediterranean changed the way churches were funded, designed, and built. The young bishopric of Molfetta, emerging in an economy of long-distance trade, competed with much wealthier institutions in its own diocese. Funding for the cathedral was slow and unpredictable. To adapt, the builders designed toward versatility, embracing multi-functionalism, change over time, specialization, and a heterogeneous style.

‎Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxvi + 198 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:128 col., Language(s):English, Sogdian. ISBN 9782503597904.‎

‎Summary The Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book is the best-preserved Manichaean book found in the Turfan area and the only one which survives in the form of a bound codex. It constitutes a precious treasure-trove of information on its three Iranian languages, on the Manichaean religion itself, and on Manichaean codicology and book-art. The surviving parts of this beautifully decorated miniature paper codex include Middle Persian and Parthian hymns and readings for the Bema festival, the high-point of the Manichaean liturgical calendar, followed by an elaborate confessional formula for the Elect in the Sogdian language. Until now this manuscript has been accessible for scholarship only from its 1937 edition in German by W. B. Henning, titled 'Ein manich isches Bet- und Beichtbuch' (BBB). This new edition provides the first English translation by Nicholas Sims-Williams, the first codicological study by Zsuzsanna Gulacsi and an introduction by John S. Sheldon. It also includes the supplementary Sogdian texts which Henning added to his 'BBB'. It incorporates magnificent colour photos, codicological diagrams, and digital reconstructions never seen before. This beautifully-produced volume appropriately inaugurates the Series Iranica of the Corpus Fontium Manichaeorum.‎

‎England and the Continent in the Tenth Century. Studies in Honour of Wilhelm Levison (1876-1947),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Hardback, XXVI 573 p., 49 b/w ill., 11 b/w tables, 15 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503532080.‎

‎Dedicated as a memorial to the great historian of England and the Continent in the eighth century, Wilhelm Levison, this book provides the widest and most in-depth exploration to date of relations between England and the Continent during an equally crucial period, the tenth century. The volume, which comes out of a sustained collaboration between English and Continental universities, contains thematically arranged essays by established leading specialists and also by younger scholars. By building on the approaches used by Levison as well as other methods that have been developed in the decades since his death, these essays tackle a broad range of questions: What routeways and modes of contact linked England with the Continent? How similar were attitudes to rulership and dynastic strategies? How did the law, the working of government, and the organization and culture of the church differ between England and the Continent? How was the past seen and represented on the two sides of the English Channel? In answering these questions, this volume offers news ways of exploring the links and developing the comparison between England and the Continent in the century after the collapse of the Carolingian Empire, a formative period for the development of Europe. Studies in the Early Middle Ages (SEM 37). Languages: English, Old English, Old Norse. New.‎

‎This third volume of the Corpus deals in detail with six manuscripts from the period around the year 1000, discussing the location of production, the work of the outstanding - and often identifiable - illuminators and scribes, as well as the codicology. This third volume of the Corpus deals in detail with six manuscripts from the period around the year 1000: the Urgell Beatus; the San Millan Beatus in the Real Academia de la Historia, Madrid, which through unfinished, preserves the style of Castile and Leon in the significant period of the first millenium; the Escorial Beatus, notable for its heavy opulent frames; the Facundus Beatus, Madrid, named after the scribe and perhaps master of the Fernando and Queen Sancha of Castile; the Fanlo Beatus in New York, which survives in only few pages copied in the seventeeth century by Lastanosa, as he himself attested; and the exceptionally beautiful San Server Beatus in Paris, probably made in Gascony. All the illustrations in these manuscripts are reproduced to provide a visual conspectus of exceptional richness. Each catalogue entry discusses the location of production, the work of the outstanding - and often identifiable - illuminators and scribes, as well as the codicology. Importantly the currents of influence which find expression in these manuscripts are examined: the pictorial vocabularies of the Mozarabic, Islamic and Carolingian worlds, a fusion which gives these works their strange potency. As in Volume II Professor Williams carefully analyses the style and relates each manuscript to the system of Branches into which these works were set by earlier scholars. A short, general, historical introduction to the manuscripts explains the evolution of the characteristically Spanish pictorial vocabulary. Every inscription has been transcribed, and the volume includes an exhaustive Bibliography and relevant Tables. Languages: English.‎

‎Dans " La vie intellectuelle de Stendhal : genèse et évolution de ses idées ( 1802 - 1821 ) " (Slatkine, 1962 , pp. 385-386) , Victor Del Litto écrit : " Beaucoup plus attrayante se révèle l ' " Histoire des gouvernements du Nord " , par J. Williams . Cet auteur avait été signalé à son attention par Rulhière , qui avait parlé du chevalier Williams , ambassadeur d ' Angleterre à Varsovie en 1752 , comme d ' un homme spirituel , mais dépravé , passé maître dans l ' art d' exploiter les mécontentements et de fomenter les troubles . ( ... ) Et dans les " Anecdotes sur la Révolution de Russie " , Rulhière faisait état de l ' influence que le chevalier Williams avait exercé sur la grande duchesse Catherine , en la poussant à exécuter son coup d ' Etat . L ' " Histoire des gouvernements du Nord " renfermait de nombreuses anecdotes et maints traits relatifs aux moeurs et au tempérament des différents peuples : l ' esprit flegmatique des Hollandais ; l ' ignorance des Polonais ; la subtilité et l ' hypocrisie de Russes . ( ... ) La personnalité de l ' auteur captive Henri Beyle . Suivant un procédé qui lui est coutumier , il fait de Williams un personnage de son " Letellier ". " Un autre extrait signalant " son passage dans trois pays " , nous supposons que John WILLIAMS a été ambassadeur dans plusieurs pays du Nord . Jean Nicolas DEMEUNIER ( 1751-1814 ) , homme politique , essayiste et traducteur de livres anglais fut censeur royal , puis député aux états-généraux , enfin membre puis président du Tribunat et sénateur sous l ' Empire . ‎

‎Caravaggio : The Complete Works XL ‎

‎, Taschen, 2009 Hardcover, 25 x 34 cm, 3.19 kg, 306 pages, dustjacket, in very good condition, Full Page illustrations in colour / b/w, English. **book is as new !, ISBN 9783836555814.‎

‎Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. Celebrated by some for his naturalism and his revolutionary pictorial inventions, he was considered by others to have destroyed painting. Few other artists have provoked such controversy and so many contradictory interpretations right up to modern times.On the heels of Caravaggio year 2010, this work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire oeuvre, with a catalogue raisonn of his works. Five introductory chapters analyze his artistic career from his training in Lombard Milan and his triumphal rise in papal Rome, up to his dramatic final years in Naples, Malta, and Sicily. The spotlight thereby falls upon the radical nature and innovative force of Caravaggio's art and its influence in all of Europe. Our understanding of Caravaggio's work has been substantially broadened in recent decades by major exhibitions, restoration campaigns, new attributions, and archival discoveries. The new catalogue raisonn offers a detailed overview of the artist's entire oeuvre based on the latest research. Every painting is reproduced in large-scale format, with spectacular details that offer dramatic close-ups and set new standards in print quality. A new photographic campaign has been undertaken, enabling the smallest details to be reproduced on a large scale for the first time. They reveal all the more clearly Caravaggio's virtuosity and his enormous ability to capture the viewer's attention and to build a communicative bridge between the worlds of picture and viewer. Sequences of spectacular details grouped by subject allow us to experience Caravaggio's ingenious rhetoric of looks and gestures and their theatrical staging in paint.‎
