‎Religious Dynamics in a Microcontinent. Cult Places, Identities, and Cultural Change in Hispania‎

‎Summary The Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula, a land already inhabited by peoples who were characterized by cultural, ethnic, and social diversity, was one of the longest and most complex colonial processes to have occurred in the Roman world. Different political entities saw integration and interaction taking place at different speeds and via different mechanisms, and these differences had a profound impact on the development of religious dynamics and cultural change across the peninsula. This edited volume draws together contributions from a number of experts in the field in order to deepen our understanding of religious phenomena in Hispania ? in particular cult, rituals, mechanisms, and spaces ? and in doing so, to offer new insights into processes of cultural and social change, and the impact of conquest and colonialism. The chapters gathered here identify how forms of religious interaction occurred at different levels and scales, and explore the ways in which religion and religious practices underpinned the construction, development, and renegotiation of different identities. Through this approach they shed important light on the crucial role of cultic practices in defining cultural and social identity as Iberia's provincial communities were drawn into the Roman world.

‎Baracoa, bakermat van de Cubaanse cacao, is een noodzakelijk boek. Cacao is immers een autochtoon product waarvan het belang nog niet voldoende wordt benadrukt. Het boek exploreert de kenmerken die Baracoa onderscheiden als de Cubaanse en misschien zelfs Latijns-Amerikaanse en Cara bische stad waar cacao de sterkste sporen heeft achtergelaten en waar in vergelijking met andere producerende landen, reeds lang vervlogen tradities werden bewaard. Baracoa, hoofdstad van de Cubaanse cacao, is een complexe en rijke culturele ruimte waar een eeuwenoude landbouwactiviteit specifieke culturele kenmerken heeft, die bepalend zijn voor de identiteit van die plek.‎

‎Joachim Patinir, que trabaj en Amberes entre 1515 y 1524, fue el primer artista europeo especializado en pintar paisajes. Sus sorprendentes cuadros reflejan la curiosidad por el mundo natural que era caracter stica del Renacimiento, y al mismo tiempo evocan la idea de un universo trascendente.

‎Illuminating Women Artists- Clara Peeters‎

‎, Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd, 2025 Hardcover, 128 pages, Illustrated. Text English, 25x20cm *New. ISBN 9781848225718.‎

‎Clara Peeters was one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations she encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter. This book serves to establish Clara Peeters, one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe in the early 17th century, as a leader in her field. The book not only discusses the artist?s biography but also examines the historical and cultural context of Peeters? art, her artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. Part of the first generation of European artists to specialise in still-life painting, Peeters was in fact the only Flemish woman known to have focussed on this genre of painting in the early 17th century. She was also one of the few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations that Clara Peeters encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter of still-life.‎

‎ In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe?s leading curators "This is a necessary book. The concept of quality is key in the history of art, and often little understood." ? Miguel Falomir, Director, Museo del Prado "That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal." ? Antonio Mu oz Molina, El Pa s "This wonderful and wise book made me look at the artwork without intimidation or any confusion. It is a great pleasure to be guided by the experienced eye of Alejandro Vergara." ? Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Throughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer ?surpassed all others? while Pliny the Elder referred to ?masterpieces that we never tire of admiring?. Vel zquez distinguished between portraits ?made with art? and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? And what do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp argues that ?a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively?. He then invites the reader to share with him a Socratic voyage of discovery, gradually unveiling arguments that can assist us in understanding this elusive and crucial concept. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp (b. 1960, Washington DC) is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.‎

‎Integrated Peasant Economy in Central and Eastern Europe. A Comparative Approach‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 264 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503590042.‎

‎Summary Income integration based on the peasants' engagement in non-agrarian sectors is a prominent and widespread feature in the history of the European countryside. While listing a multitude of activities outside the narrow scope of farm management aimed at self-consumption, prevailing interpretations emphasize how survival was the goal of peasant economies and societies. The "integrated peasant economy" is a new concept that considers the peasant economy as a comprehensive system of agrarian and non-agrarian activities, disclosing how peasants demonstrate agency, aspirations and the ability to proactively change and improve their economic and social condition. After having been successfully applied to the Alpine and Scandinavian areas, the book tests this innovative concept through a range of case studies on central and eastern European regions comprising Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine. By enhancing our knowledge on central and eastern Europe and questioning the assumption that these regions were "different", it helps overcome interpretive simplifications and common places, as well as the underrepresentation of the "eastern half" of Europe in scholarly literature on rural history. That's why the book represents a refreshing methodological contribution and a new insight into European rural history.

‎Ecologies of Crusading, Colonization, and Religious Conversion in the Medieval Baltic. Terra Sacra II‎

‎Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This second Terra Sacra volume draws together a series of case-studies on Livonia and Prussia that provide a unique snapshot of recent research into environmental change during the Baltic Crusades and also explore long-term trends in landscape organization and environmental exploitation. The volume covers six key themes: building-construction in the conquered territories; food supply to the houses of the Teutonic Order; life in the multi-cultural towns of the eastern Baltic; transforming the physical landscape; transforming the spiritual landscape; and the Baltic Ordensland in its regional context. It forms a companion to Environment, Colonization, and the Baltic Crusader States: Terra Sacra I.

‎Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This is the first of two Terra Sacra volumes, which share the aim of changing our understanding of the environmental impact of crusading and colonization in northeastern Europe. The present volume provides a detailed inter-disciplinary comparison of the environmental transformations associated with the emergence of the crusader states of Livonia and Prussia. It draws on and integrates a range of archaeological, paleoenvironmental, historical, and cartographic sources in order to highlight the diverse impact of colonization and landscape reorganization that followed in the wake of the Baltic Crusades. The companion Terra Sacra volume complements this survey by presenting a number of case studies from across the eastern Baltic region.

‎The Low Countries are generally considered to be the land of painting. Consequently, sculpture, especially that of the 16th century, has been insufficiently explored. In Moving Sculptures Aleksandra Lipi?ska presents a little-known chapter of the history of Netherlandish sculpture: the serial production of small-scale alabaster reliefs, altarpieces and statuettes in the workshops of Mechelen and Antwerp between c. 1525 and 1650. She gives the reader an insight into the rules of this craft, the specificity of the material, and the marketing methods employed. But the innovative element of this study lies in the fact that Lipi?ska analyses the phenomenon from the perspective of its distant recipients in Central and Northern Europe on the basis of works largely unknown to the broader public.At the Source: Production of the Alabaster Sculpture in the Southern Netherlands 1 Alabaster as a Sculpture Material 17 2 Alabaster in Netherlandish Sculpture from the Late Gothic to the Early Baroque 44 3 Serial Production of Alabaster Sculpture in Mechelen 96 4 The Spread of Alabaster Sculpture from the Low Countries 124 Part 2 At the Destination: Southern Netherlandish Alabaster Sculpture in Central and Northern Europe 5 Altarpieces 143 6 Tombs and Epitaphs 205 7 Exhibits of Real and ?Imagined?

‎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 sc nes. 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 be nvloedt 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 flu de.

‎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.‎

‎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.

‎Marsilius of Padua. Between History, Politics, and Philosophy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 440 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601335.‎

‎Summary Marsilius of Padua (c. 1275-c. 1342) was one of the most influential and controversial political thinkers of the Middle Ages. He is best known for his seminal text Defensor Pacis (1324) in which he attacks the papal theory of plenitude of power and defends an idea of political community based on the strict separation of political and religious authority. Marsilius' work lies at the crossroads of different disciplines, ranging from political philosophy to civil and canon law, to medicine. Indeed, he presents an original synthesis of several contemporary themes and traditions such as Aristotelianism, Augustinianism, the debate on Franciscan property, the communal tradition of the Italian city-states, ecclesiology, medicine, and astrology. This edited volume analyses the life and thought of Marsilius of Padua in his own context and beyond. Gathering many of the leading experts in Marsilian studies across different national and linguistic traditions working today, this volume has two main goals. First, it aims to bring together experts who come from distinct fields in order to investigate the many branches of knowledge present in Defensor Pacis without losing sight of Marsilius as a comprehensive theorist. Second, the volume aims to shed new light on one of the most neglected aspects in Marsilian studies: the Marsilian influence, i.e., his impact in the early modern period during the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, up to twentieth century.

‎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.

‎Archaeological Landscapes of Roman Etruria. Research and Field Papers‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 296 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:95 b/w, 21 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503591391.‎

‎Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

‎Crusading, Society, and Politics in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Age of King Peter I of Cyprus‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 630 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:38 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503598567.‎

‎Summary The King of Cyprus, Peter I of Lusignan (1359-1369), was one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the Latin East and the later crusades. He was involved in European power politics, his crusading activities brought him into conflict with the Turkish beyliks of Anatolia and the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt, and his rule was closely linked with broader developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, such as the decay of Byzantium, the East-West schism, and the beginning of the Ottoman expansion in the Balkans. His adventurous life constitutes a captivating case study of court life, feudal and chivalric ethos, and political culture in the fourteenth century. This volume investigates developments in the Eastern Mediterranean before and during the reign of Peter I from a comparative perspective. It consists of five parts, which treat the political, diplomatic, and ecological context of the crusading movement in the time between the fall of Acre (1291) and the sack of Alexandria (1365), Peter I's crusading policy and the Alexandrian crusade, Cypriot society and court life in the time of Peter I, the situation in Muslim-Turkish Anatolia, the second target of King Peter's crusading policy, and, finally, Byzantium, its encounter with the Turks, the schism of the Churches, and theological trends in the time of the Hesychast Controversy.

‎Impressionist Paris A Panoramic View of Paris in French Impressionism.‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2025 Hardcover 209 pages, Illustrated. 29x24.5cm, English text. ISBN 9789464941401.‎

‎Magnificent publication on the depiction of Paris by the French impressionists such as Monet, Cassatt, Renoir and Degas In 1867, Claude Monet painted three iconic views of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre, thus firing the starting shot of Impressionism. This book explores these groundbreaking works in detail, alongside a multitude of other Impressionist paintings and drawings. Experts from leading museums around the world show how Paul C zanne, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt and many others also depicted Paris in the midst of a radical transformation. Their artworks transport us to the birth of the French capital as a modern metropolis. They grant us entry to the theatres, parks and boulevards of Haussmann?s Paris, where the bourgeoisie parade their new-found wealth. In a new world dominated by fashion and consumption, the graceful Parisienne emerges as the symbol of this vibrant world city. But behind the facade of light, beauty and romance, political unrest and revolution are in the air. This turbulent period is brought to life in this publication through original photographs, posters, letters and satirical prints. Published to accompany the exhibition New Paris: From Monet to Morisot at Kunstmuseum Den Haag from 15 February until 9 June 2025.‎

‎Nackte, aufreizend dargestellte Frauenk rper, schockierende satanistische Rituale, fantasievoll-opulente Szenerien: Kaum ein Radierer des 19. Jahrhunderts war derart ber chtigt und einflussreich wie der K nstler F licien Rops (1833?1898). T tig v. a. in Br ssel und Paris pr gten seine immer wieder f r Skandale bekannten Graphiken bis nach 1900 mehrere K nstlergenerationen, zu denen u. a. Max Klinger, Alfred Kubin und Otto Dix geh rten. Hinter seinen frivol-obsz nen Darstellungen stecken scharfer Witz, Gesellschaftskritik sowie politische Satire. Das Kupferstichkabinett der Hamburger Kunsthalle beherbergt seit 1907 eine umfangreiche Sammlung an Werken des belgischen Symbolisten, die bis heute nahezu unbekannt ist. Die Ausstellung ?Paris ist meine Bibliothek? wird erstmals knapp 100 Bl tter aus diesem Konvolut pr sentieren. Dies erlaubt es, die von Rops so h ufig thematisierten Geschlechterrollen, sozialen Verh ltnisse und moralischen Ambivalenzen des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Blick zu nehmen.‎

‎Compilatio singularis exemplorum‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, cxl + 853 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language: Latin. ISBN 9782503593081.‎

‎Summary Die Compilatio singularis exemplorum ist eine Exempelsammlung, die gegen Ende des 13. Jahrhundert von einem anonymen franz sischen Dominikaner zusammengestellt wurde. Sie enth lt neben vielen auch anderweitig breit und variantenreich berlieferten Stoffen einiges sonst nur selten erhaltene oder g nzlich unbekannte Erz hlgut. Zudem hebt sie sich von den meisten anderen Exempelsammlungen durch das ihr zugrundeliegende Gliederungsprinzip ab, welches sich an der Dreiteilung der mittelalterlichen Christenheit in S kularklerus, Regularklerus und Laienstand orientiert: Streng hierarchisch geordnet, werden der Reihe nach Geschichten ber die Mitglieder dieser drei St nde erz hlt. Von den P psten bis hinab zu den Theologiestudenten, von den bten und Abtissinnen bis hinab zu den Laienbr dern und Beginen, von den Kaisern und K nigen bis hinab zu den gesellschaftlichen Randexistenzen wird vor uns das ganze Panoptikum der sp tmittelalterlichen Gesellschaft entfaltet. Dem so entworfenen Abbild der Menschenwelt werden in den ersten Teilen der Sammlung eine Marienvita, zahlreiche Marienmirakel, Hostienwunder, Kreuzzugsgeschichte und einige Geschichten ber die Engel vorangestellt. Lediglich der letzte, vermutlich sekund r hinzugef gte Teil der Sammlung weicht von der Gesamtkonzeption des Werkes ab. Er vereint in sich eine Liste altfranz sischer Sprichw rter nebst deren lateinischen Nachdichtungen, Proben der Vagantenpoesie des Hugo Primas und weitere Verse erbaulichen und unterhaltsamen Inhalts. Der lateinische Text der Sammlung ist stellenweise von altfranz sischen Einsprengseln durchsetzt, die in einigen F llen das Ausma kleinerer Gedichte erreichen. Er wird hier zum ersten Mal vollst ndig nach allen drei bekannten berlieferungstr gern, Handschriften des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, kritisch herausgegeben.‎
