‎Chronicle, Crusade, and the Latin East. Essays in Honour of Susan B. Edgington‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, Pages: 354 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 1 tables b/w. Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9782503586205.‎

‎Chronicle, Crusade, and the Latin East offers a collection of essays exploring three closely connected thematic areas: the narrative traditions surrounding the early crusading movement, the influence of these textual traditions on wider processes of medieval historical writing and storytelling, and the history of crusading and the Latin East. In recent years, the field of crusade studies has witnessed a significant groundswell of scholarly work, with particular emphasis on the narrative construction of crusading deeds in text and song, of the important role played by memory and memorialisation in transmitting crusading tales and promoting participation, and the nature of life in the Latin states of the East. This volume not only engages with, and offer fresh insights into, these topics, but also serves as a monument to the career of Susan B. Edgington, who has done so much to increase modern understanding of crusade narratives and the crusading past, and who has made a significant impact on the careers of many scholars. The collection of essays gathered here by established and early career historians, Edgington?s friends and students, thus furthers the study of both crusading as narrative and crusading as a lived experience.‎

‎Marcel Broodthaers and Film A Second of Eternity‎

‎Leuven, Leuven University Press, 2024 Softcover, 280 pagina's, 23.5 x 15.5 cm. Illustrated. ENG text . ISBN 9789462704312.‎

‎Marcel Broodthaers, one of the key figures of the postwar avant-garde, has been recognized and extensively studied as a poet who became a visual artist in 1964. However, years before creating his first sculptural objects and installations, Broodthaers made his debut as a filmmaker in 1957 with La Clef de l?horloge, embarking on a prolific cinema practice that yielded more than fifty films shot on 35mm and 16mm. Cinema, both as a medium and principle, was crucial to his artistry. Broodthaers's writings and visual oeuvre are permeated with allusions to film, its history, and its technology. Covering both well-known titles such as Le Corbeau et le renard (1967), La Pluie (1969), and Une Seconde d? ternit (1970) as well as many lesser-known Broodthaers films, the essays in this book discuss his films as inseparable from his entire oeuvre while situating them in the larger history of experimental film. In addition, the book scrutinizes his experiments with cinepoetry and expanded cinema, as well as his interest in early cinema and his fascination with signs and inscriptions. Marcel Broodthaers and Film brings together essays by Andrew Chesher, Eric C. H. de Bruyn, Xavier Garc a Bard n, Charlotte Friling, Steven Jacobs, Bruce Jenkins, Deborah Schultz, Christophe Wall-Romana, and Raf Wollaert. Steven Jacobs is an art historian specializing in the relations between art and film. He teaches at Ghent University and the University of Antwerp. Raf Wollaert completed a PhD on the subject of Marcel Broodthaers?s cinema at the University of Antwerp in 2024.‎

‎Jan Vanriet, the music boy‎

‎Brussel, Roberto Polo Gallery, 2016 Hardback, 168 pages, 29.5 x 24 cm, EN. ISBN 9781907363108.‎

‎The Music Boy exhibition at the New Art Gallery Walsall is the artist's first in the United Kingdom. A 168-page hardback, illustrated catalogue featuring extensive essays by Andrew Graham-Dixon and Martin Herbert, as well as a foreword by Charlotte Mullins was published on the occasion. The exhibition is titled after a quadriptych of paintings depicting the artist's grandmother and his uncle playing an accordion.Jan Vanriet's work mainly concerns the memory of history and the construction of pictorial surface. As Martin Herbert writes: "Vanriet builds up his paintings in layers, and the strata of underpainting have, in his case, a polyvalent quality. In some cases they form glazes that gift the paintings with an internal glow; in others, the half-visible ghosts of earlier paintings both reaffirm the idea that something is being held back, and situate Vanriet's paintings as a carefully wrought, crafted statement that has gone through stages in order to reach a conclusive point, like a phrase honed through multiple careful edits." Jan Vanriet's mother, father and uncle participated in the Resistance movement and were deported by the Nazis. His parents met in the Mauthausen concentration camp and their stories and memories of the Second World War and its aftermath continue to permeate his paintings. Themes of love, loss, identity, destiny and disappearance pervade his work. And yet Vanriet says: "The starting point may be my family, but I see it as a universal story. I don't want the themes to be too narrow, too close to me, because they should go wider than that. If not, it is only anecdote and I have not painted well enough."‎

‎Andrew of Saint Victor, Commentary on Isaiah‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 492 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Latin, Hebrew. ISBN 9782503605050.‎

‎Summary Andrew of Saint Victor was one of the most prominent biblical scholars of the twelfth century. He was a regular canon of the Parisian abbey of St Victor, founded in 1108, which in the twelfth century had developed into a prestigious center of spiritual learning, closely connected to the nascent university in Paris. Because of his frequent use of Jewish exegetical materials, Andrew's commentaries are a rich source for the history both of biblical hermeneutics and of inter-religious dialogue during the Middle Ages. His Isaiah commentary caused outrage among medieval Christian scholars because it eschewed traditional christological interpretations, and instead offered a reading "according to the Hebrew." This translation makes this work accessible in English for the first time. The source text of this volume was published in 2021 by Frans van Liere (Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis, 53C). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.

‎LUCIO BUBACCO Erotics ‎

‎, Arnoldsche, 2018 160 pp., 24.5 x 30.7 cm, 150 colour ills. Hardcover. English. Dustjacket ISBN 9783897905153.‎

‎Most of the subjects of Lucio Bubaccos (b. 1957) glass art are provocative and polarising; at the same time they are sensual and beguiling. In a kind of erotic trance dance Mephistophelian and frequently riotous ? nightmarish fabulous creatures and mythological phantasms virtually undulate about each other. His technical virtuosity in creative execution is unparalleled, for the Murano-born glass artist has elevated the Venetian flame technique to a new level of skill and complexity. Bubacco has captured human feelings and emotions in the masterly play of gestures and muscles of the glass figures featured in his burlesque installations. Full of wit and irony he thus explores the limits of kitsch without overstepping them. Follow him into a world of carnevalesque orgies, crystalline incubi and erotic fantasies in glass! Lucio Bubacco is represented in numerous museums, including the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, The Corning Museum of Glass, Museum of American Glass, Millville, and Tampa Museum of Art (US); Nagoya Museum (JP); Glasmuseum Frauenau and European Museum of Modern Glass / The Veste Coburg Art Collections (DE); MusVerre, Sars-Poteries (FR); Museo del Vetro, Murano, Venice (IT); Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (NL); J&L Lobmeyr Museum and The Margot and Roman Fuchs Collection, both in Vienna (AT). ‎

‎Gospel According to Thomas. Introduction, Translation and Commentary‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, x + 274 pages, Size:120 x 190 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584904.‎

‎Summary The Gospel According to Thomas is a collection of 114 sayings of Jesus attributed to a certain Didymus Judas Thomas. For scholars, the text has much to offer for the study of early Christian literature, history, and theology. This enigmatic collection of sayings is part of a series of tractates in the Nag Hammadi Codices which were found in Egypt in 1945. Since the discovery of the Gospel According to Thomas, scholars have endeavoured to uncover the place of writing and the sources of these sayings, which in some cases are similar to those found in the synoptic gospels and other New Testament writings, as well as in several early Christian texts. Without neglecting nor negating this important historical research on the Gospel According to Thomas, this new translation accompanied by a commentary focuses on another aspect that has been given less attention in scholarship, namely that of a synchronic reading and interpretation of the text. The main question this book attempts to answer is: What does the Gospel According to Thomas actually mean?‎

‎Vorige eeuw was er een ongekende groei van het verenigingsleven. Mensen beseffen na het trauma van de twee wereldoorlogen dat sociaal engagement het leven meer leefbaar kan maken en gaan op zoek naar dingen die hen binden. Vanaf maart 2004 startte de rubriek ?Nooit Thuis?, verzorgd door onze redactieleden en gewijd aan het verenigingsleven van Beveren. De geschiedenis van een zeventigtal verenigingen komt aan bod met anekdotes en veel fotomateriaal. De bijdragen werden gebundeld in een boek, dat een ode wil zijn aan zovele mensen die actief zijn geweest in het verenigingsleven van onze gemeente. Omdat ze door hun engagement steeds in de weer zijn en thuis dikwijls moeten gemist worden, kozen we de schalkse titel ?Nooit Thuis?. Het boek is rijk ge llustreerd en tel meer dan 400 pagina?s.‎

‎Omschrijving oogstrelend Oosters Dit jaar is het de 150e geboortedag van schilder Marius Bauer (1867-1932). Het werk van Bauer kenmerkt zich door een exotische waas van ori ntalisme. Hij reisde veel: naar India, Indonesi , Turkije en Marokko. Zijn belangstelling voor het grootstedelijke ging gelijk op met die van zijn mede-Tachtigers. In 1888 kreeg Bauer de kans zijn eerste reis naar Istanbul te maken op kosten van kunstenaar E.J. van Wisselingh. Hij kwam terug met meer dan honderd tekeningen en een aantal volle schetsboekjes. Zo ging het ook met de vele reizen die volgden. Hij bezocht onder meer Cario, Luxor, Jeruzalem, Agra en Delhi. Het drukke straatbeeld, de kleurrijke bevolking en de schilderachtige omgeving in de toen nog niet erg bekende gebieden vormden een onuitputtelijke bron van inspiratie voor zijn ruimtelijke landschappen en exotische stedelijke taferelen. Bauer realiseerde een omvangrijk oeuvre van hoge kwaliteit dat schilderijen, aquarellen en etsen omvat.‎
