Commentary on Samuel and Kings. Expositio hystorica in Librum Regum.
, Brepols Publishers, 2010 paperback, 230 p., 156 x 234 mm, english. ISBN 9782503531557.
Andrew of St Victor (? 1175) was an exegete of a rare quality who set out to expound Scripture according to its literal sense, guided by the examples of Jerome and Hugh of St Victor. The books of Samuel and Kings had a great influence on the spirituality and theology of the Middle Ages. To the medieval mind, they were more than just historical accounts; they attested to an important period in God?s dealings with this world, when interpreted typologically, they could also relate to other periods in the history of salvation. Yet before such higher spiritual wisdom could be attained, students at the school of St Victor first had to study the Scriptural texts at the most basic level of allegoresis: their historical, or literal, sense. The Commentary on Samuel and Kings offers such a literal explanation and gives an opportunity to study Andrew at work: as a critical researcher, who used concepts of grammar, literary theory, and science to elucidate the text and who made Jewish exegesis available to Christian scholarship, and as a compiler. His meticulous scholarship on the literal sense of Scripture formed an important component of the curriculum of the school at St Victor, where thorough learning was seen as a preparation for mystical knowledge and spiritual understanding. The source text of this volume appeared in the series Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaeualis as Andreas de Sancto Victore - Expositio hystorica in librum Regum (CCCM 53A). References to the corresponding pages of the edition are provided in the margins of this translation. Frans van Liere holds a Ph.D. in medieval studies from Groningen University and is Professor of History at Calvin College (USA). His critical edition of Andrew of St Victor's Commentary on Samuel and Kings (Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis 53A) appeared in 1996.

Territories and Boundaries Crossing rivers in Byzantium and Beyond
, Brepols, :2026 Paperback, 347 p., 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:66 b/w, 100 col., Language(s):English, German. *New . ISBN 9782503619088.
Rivers are essential elements of nature that shape the physical landscape and the way of life of people in their surroundings. They define territories and boundaries, separating and connecting in a real and a figurative sense. The crossing of rivers with man-made devices such as fords, rafts, ferries and bridges of various materials demonstrates the dominion of humankind over nature and provides advantages in many areas of human life: social, economic, military. The physical appearance and the effort to construct crossings have granted them symbolic meaning, ranging from triumphal monuments visualizing the conquest of a river and expansion of state territory to places of transition defining a space between opposed worlds. In order to investigate for the first time the peculiarities of river crossings in the Byzantine empire, the present volume places them in a broad chronological and geographical context. It includes sixteen papers by established and emerging scholars from various European academic institutions and multiple disciplines, stretching chronologically from Late Antiquity to the 16th century and geographically from Jordan to Great Britain. Based on an interdisciplinary discourse the volume shows different aspects of the Byzantine world that bring us further in our understanding of Byzantium.
Sicut in caelo Sacred Music in Early Modern Italy
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, xx + 480 p., 210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:71 b/w, 17 tables b/w., 49 musical examples, Language(s):English, Italian. *New . ISBN 9782503621852.
This volume offers a comprehensive examination of sacred music in Italy from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, bringing together contributions from nineteen scholars at the forefront of current musicological research. Through a diverse array of topics and methodologies, the collection sheds new light on the multifaceted roles that sacred music played within Italian religious, cultural, and institutional life over four centuries. The chapters engage with the production, transmission, and performance of sacred music across a variety of regional and ecclesiastical contexts. Topics include manuscript production and the devotional practices of confraternities, as well as the commissioning and composition of sacred works tailored to local liturgical needs and patronage structures. The volume also addresses broader issues such as the pedagogical uses of sacred music, the development of organology in ecclesiastical settings, evolving performance practices, and the aesthetic and theological discourses that informed the liturgical movement. By foregrounding the interaction between sacred music and the wider cultural landscape of early modern and modern Italy, this collection not only deepens our understanding of specific repertoires and practices but also contributes to larger conversations about the place of music in religious experience and institutional, cultural, and religious identity. Richly interdisciplinary in approach, the volume is essential reading for scholars of music history, religious studies, and early modern Italian culture.

IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries
, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782930054117.
In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.
Chants Secrets. Couverture ornée d’une lithographie d’Emile Picq.
Lyon, L’Arbalète (Presse à bras de Marc Barbezat), 1945 ; in-8, broché ; 45 pp., (1) f. de justification du tirage, couverture crème rempliée, illustrée d’une lithographie d’Emile Picq.
Edition en partie originale tirée à 400 exemplaires (N°166), sur pur fil Lafuma, outre deux exemplaires sur vieux Japon. Né à Lyon (1911-1951), Emile Picq, poète, peintre et danseur, fut révélé au grand public par un article enthousiaste de Renaud Icard (Le Progrès du 13 juin 1933) qui le présentait ainsi : "Avez-vous dirais-je aujourd’hui, entendu parler d’Emile Picq ? Retenez ce nom. Dans l’art de la danse à laquelle il s’est consacré, il ira loin". En 1948, Francis Ponge affirme à son tour, péremptoire : "Il faut à Lyon considérer Picq. Lyon, le Lyon moral, a beaucoup à apprendre de ce jeune homme..." (voir la notice de Patrice Béghain dans le "Dictionnaire historique de Lyon") ; ces deux témoins ont raison, il suffit de voir ce dessin de couverture pour comprendre que Picq est un danseur et, ce n’est pas un hasard si Picq, Renaud Icard et Francis Ponge furent les amis de René Leynaud, fusillé pendant la guerre. Dos très légèrement insolé et quelques minuscules piqûres, sinon bel exemplaire de ce recueil de poésies.

Weaving Memories in Medieval Cathedrals, Artistic Narratives in Global History
, Brepols, 2026 Hardcover, 317 pages, 216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 126 col., 2 tables b/w. English. New. . ISBN 9782503617695.
This volume examines a network of medieval European cathedrals, from the North Sea to Andalusia, to reveal the specific ways in which institutional and civic memories were interwoven in each of these ecclesiastical sees. These pages analyze the plurality of the European landscape through eleven cathedrals, created between the fourth and fifteenth centuries across the European geographical and cultural breadth. The architectural features of each cathedral are the result of a complex process of morphogenesis that is constantly defined by the local conditions of space, building material, etc. For these reasons, each author reveals in the respective case study how the ritual spaces and the cultic and commemorative devices that legitimized their relationship with the past, the particular devotions, the diachronic and synchronic crossroads and their relationships with the secular and religious elites were generated, modified and organized. Crucial to this integrative process was the movement of patrons and master builders, as well as their ability to adopt new approaches and integrate them into established patterns. The cathedrals studied in this volume were highly innovative centers that exported successful models. In some cases, their proposals were formulated on the substratum of Roman antiquity, often reinterpreted. Furthermore, special attention is given to the memorial competencies of devices and liturgical furnishings, that constituted a large part of the visual and mnemonic experience inside their ceremonial spaces. Through the study of the selected cathedrals it is revealed that each and every one of them sought to affirm two complementary realities: what role each one aspired to play in the history of Universal Salvation and, at the same time, how to articulate the spaces of the monument to give place and temporality to the memory itself, extolling the most relevant powerful personalities in the framework of the lay community. Thus, the volume offers a panoramic view of the specificities, but also of the analogies generated by artistic intersections and homologous statements.

viaggio poetico in Properzio tra illusione e realt Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Conference on Propertius, Assisi, 25-28 May 2023
, Brepols, :2026 Paperback, 364 p, 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 1 col., Language(s):Italian. *New . ISBN 9782503618531.
The theme of the journey in Propertius is investigated in the various possible meanings, from the physical one of movement, to the internal one of the love affair, to the literary one, between emulation and imitation. On the one hand, the poet does not like to travel, because he wants to stay in Rome, and with the woman he loves. On the other, he likes to move in the dimensions of literature, myth and even the afterlife, in an incessant inner journey between images and places in limitless mental spaces.
