‎Naming Pathology from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 273, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:4 tables b/w., Languages: English, Greek, Latin. ISBN 9782503620114.‎

‎Summary This collection of contributions from international scholars offers a cross-language and multi-period analysis dedicated to the constitution of the lexicon of pathology between Antiquity and the Early Modern period. By analysing unpublished texts and studying sources written in different languages (Greek, Latin, Arabic and different vernaculars), the authors demonstrate that the pathological terminology of the past did not have an unambiguous meaning and therefore, to be understood, must be historicized and evaluated according to sources and context. The volume offers the reader the possibility of observing continuity and change in the perception, representation and theoretic paradigm of the disease lexicon, in a wide range of cultural contexts.

‎Een spiegel op mode en massamedia in ijzersterk fotografisch werk van Cindy Sherman. Het boek bij de eerste Cindy Shermantentoonstelling in de Lage Landen Cindy Sherman (°1954) staat bekend om haar baanbrekend werk in fotografie. Ze verkent thema?s als identiteit, gender en sociale rollen door zichzelf te transformeren in uiteenlopende personages en scènes. Anti-Fashion belicht haar fotografisch werk vanuit een nieuw perspectief, waarbij de focus ligt op de wisselwerking tussen mode en kunst. Haar vele opdrachten voor magazines als Vogue en Harper?sBazaar en haar nauwe samenwerking met beroemde ontwerpers vormen een voortdurende bron van inspiratie. Maar ook omgekeerd beïnvloedt deze hedendaagse kunstenaar de modewereld en geeft ze er belangrijke impulsen aan. Shermans interesse in mode komt op een subversieve manier tot uiting: haar foto?s tonen figuren die allesbehalve aantrekkelijk zijn en daardoor alle conventies van haute couture en de gebruikelijke voorstellingen van schoonheid tegenspreken. Het brede spectrum aan personages toont het kunstmatige en veranderlijke van identiteit, die meer dan ooit een kwestie van keuze lijken te zijn, (zelf)geconstrueerd en fluïde. Deze publicatie verschijnt bij de tentoonstelling Cindy Sherman, die loopt van 28 september 2024 tot 2 februari 2025 in FOMU, Antwerpen.‎

‎A mirror on fashion and mass media in a powerful photographic work by Cindy Sherman. The book accompanying the first Cindy Sherman exhibition in the Low Countries Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) is known for her pioneering work in photography, through which she explores themes of identity, gender and social roles by transforming herself into different personas in a variety of staged scenes. Anti-Fashion approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective, focusing on the interaction between fashion and art. She uses her many commissions for magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and her close collaboration with famous designers as a constant source of inspiration. Conversely, this contemporary artist also continues to influence the aesthetics of the fashion world today, providing essential impulses. Sherman expresses her interest in fashion in a subversive way: her photographs depict people that are anything but desirable, contradicting all conventions of haute couture and the usual representations of beauty. Her wide range of characters shows the artificiality and mutability of identity, which seems more selectable, (self-) constructed and fluid than ever before. Companion publication to the exhibition Cindy Sherman at FOMU (Fotomuseum Antwerpen) from 28 September 2024 until 2 February 2025.‎

‎Acquisition through Translation. Towards a Definition of Renaissance Translation‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 380 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, Languages: English, Italian, German. ISBN 9782503589541.‎

‎Summary The definition of translation in Renaissance Europe is here proposed as a process of acquisition: the book studies how a number of European languages, finding their identification in the newly evolving concept of nation, shape their countries' vernacular libraries by appropriating ancient and contemporary classics. The emergence of standard modern languages in early modern Europa entailed a competition with the dominant Latin culture, which remained the prevalent medium for the language of science, philosophy, theology and philology until at least the eighteenth century. In this process, translation played a very special role: in a number of significant instances we can identify in the undertaking of a specific translation a policy of acquisition of classical - and by definition authoritative - texts that contributed to the building of an intellectual library for the emerging nation. At the same time, the transmission of ideas and texts across Europe constructed a diasporic and transnational culture: the emerging vernacular cultures acquired not only the classical Latin models, incorporating them in their own intellectual libraries, but turned their attention also to contemporary, or near-contemporary, vernacular texts, conferring on them, through the act of translation, the status of classics. Through the examination of case studies, that take into account both literary and scientific texts, this volume offers an overview of how early modern Europe developed its vernacular national literatures, following the model suggested in the late Middle Ages, through a process of acquisition and translation.

‎Languages and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in Renaissance Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 433 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601816.‎

‎Summary Although much work has been done in the field of Renaissance Studies, at present there is no book which offers a comparative overview of the linguistic interaction between Renaissance Italy and the wider world. The present volume is intended to fill this void, representing the first-ever collection of essays that deal with multiple types of language contact and cross-cultural exchanges in and with respect to Renaissance Italy (1300?1600). We bring diverse disciplinary perspectives together: literary scholars, historians, and linguists with different regional expertise; we argue for multilingualism and language contact as products of a period of dynamic change which cannot be fully grasped through a single framework. The contributions present a variety of case-studies by often cross-fertilising their approaches with other disciplinary lenses. This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of a truly global Renaissance Italy where languages, textual traditions, and systems of knowledge from different geographical areas either combined or clashed. It takes a fresh approach to the history of late medieval and early modern Italy by focusing on East/West linguistic and cultural encounters, transmission of ideas and texts, multilingualism in literature (various genres and various forms of multilingualism), translation practices, reception/adaptation of new knowledge, transculturalism and literary exchanges, and the relationship between languages and language varieties.

‎Summary 'Latin in Byzantium' explores the linguistic competence, cultural identity, and transmission of Latin texts in the 'noua Roma' between the fourth and the ninth centuries. Drawing together texts from a number of fields (e.g., law, grammar, religion, and tactics) and across a range of different forms (e.g., palaeographic, epigraphic, and papyrological), this important project provides scholars for the first time with an in-depth knowledge of both the Latin-speaking milieux in Byzantium, and of the contexts in which Latin was used. Crucially, the ancient sources studied in this volume are also analysed in their broader political and sociological context, providing rich material for study across different disciplines and making this volume an important resource for closing the gaps between literary and non-literary texts, history, and philology.

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: xx + 564, Size:156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Italian, French. ISBN 9782503619811.‎

‎Summary This volume offers a comprehensive examination of medieval conceptions of foreknowledge-understood both as divine prescience and as the human capacity to anticipate future events-across a range of intellectual traditions. It investigates key themes such as future contingents, prophetic discourse (both divinely inspired and natural), divinatory dreams, eschatology, scientific prognostication (in astrology and medicine), and conjectural disciplines such as geomancy, physiognomy, meteorology, and magic. Through historical reconstructions and doctrinal analyses, the contributions illuminate the theoretical frameworks and distinctive positions advanced by medieval authors within diverse cultural and scholarly contexts. Building on an extensive body of prior research, the volume documents the multiplicity of medieval strategies for engaging with the future, thereby challenging the historiographical assumption that the notion of an open and indeterminate future emerged only in the Modern period.

‎Epidemics and Pandemics. Philosophical Perspectives‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, approx. 328 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503598925.‎

‎Summary Epidemics, pandemics, contagion, immunity, social distance, zoonosis are just a few of the concepts that have become commonplace in the academic community and in everyday conversation since the outbreak of the Covid-19. This book aims to provide the reader with a philosophical guide to this conceptual vocabulary by investigating the meanings, implications, and history of words related to the current emergency of Covid-19. This book addresses the fundamental anthropological, ethical, and political issues that have come under the spotlight of the public debate (life and death, freedom and authority, fear and protection, poverty and access to medical care). In this context, particular attention is given to the conflict between the scientific discourse on the one hand, and irrational bias, misinformation and fake news on the other. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is only the latest episode in a long history of pandemics and epidemics that have constellated human history since its very beginning. Authoritative accounts have made some of these contagious plagues famous (Thucydides' pages immortalizing the Athenian epidemic of the 5th century B.C.; Boccaccio's description of the Black Death; Manzoni's depiction of the Plague ravaging 17th-century Milan). Because a full understanding of the present is not possible without historical inquiry, several contributions in the book explore debates about calamitous phenomena as documented in philosophical literature from Antiquity to 20th-century philosophy.

‎Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive (1537-1743)‎

‎The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive offers a unique window into early modern Florentine society through an exploration of the archives of the Medici ruling family. Teeming with circa three million letters, the archival collection of the Medici grand dukes housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence chronicles the culture and history of Europe and beyond, across a span of over two hundred years. The letters of this collection, known as the Mediceo del Principato, embrace a great variety of themes including diplomacy, art, medicine, food, science, and warfare. Since its contents originate from a court archive that served both the state and a ruling family, this collection comprises administrative, political, and financial correspondence, as well as more private and intimate accounts of the Medici themselves and their activity at court. At the same time, it would be a great misconception to assume that this enormous archival corpus pertains just to Florence or just to the Medici, given that the vast majority of these missives were written by ambassadors, agents, and informants stationed throughout Europe. This volume, The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive, aims to unlock not only the complex structure of the Mediceo del Principato but also the richness of its content. The sixteen essays address a variety of topics ? book history, Ottoman relations, collections of New World artifacts, medical history, gender studies, and material culture ? all with direct reference to the Medici grand duchy. The original research that supports these studies was drawn in part from the Medici Archive Project's online platform (BIA) for querying over 350,000 digitized and/or transcribed letters. Making use of these and other original sources, the essays in The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive shed new light on the mechanisms and strategies that enabled Florence to emerge from decades of internecine confl ict and diplomatic chaos in order to enjoy cultural and political prominence.
