Two remarkable Iranian world-maps were discovered in 1989 and 1995. Both are made of brass and date from 17th-century Iran. Mecca is at the centre and a highly sophisticated longitude and latitude grid enables the user to determine the direction and distance to Mecca for anywhere in the world between Andalusia and China. Prior to the discovery of these maps it was thought that such cartographic grids were conceived in Europe ca. 1910. This richly-illustrated book presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes the two world-maps in detail. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad.

J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty List and built 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard's closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding during which time the company had gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers alike. Famed early on for fast Revenue cutters and naval brigs, in its final years Royal Navy destroyers earned it great distinction. Highly innovative, it developed and patented many pioneering products while other innovations included semi-diesel engines, heat exchangers, air conditioners and compressors, besides a range of marine thruster units. Not only did the company build ships and boats but it also constructed a range of marine aircraft. During the First World War, White's production accounted for 100 ships, including twenty-seven destroyers, and 201 seaplanes. Production during the Second World War added up to 317 ships, among them twenty-six destroyers and a large minelayer. Illustrated with photographs of these and many of the company's other products, this book tells the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned it the slogan: White's-built - well-built! .

Summary The medieval courtly lyric, the site for the first extended literary exercises in Occitan, French, Italian and German, is one of the foundations of how we think about European literature. Since the nineteenth century it has in many accounts underpinned a system of linguistically-informed national traditions. David Murray shows in 'Poetry in Motion' how categorizing poetry under headings like 'French' or 'Italian' poetry can obscure the thinking of medieval poets and scribes about what constituted a language. Rather than existing within a series of rigidly distinct linguistic systems, Murray demonstrates that song moved in a fluid environment where linguistic boundaries could be easily crossed. Aided by its melody, metrical form or quotation in a larger text, a song could travel and elicit meaningful reactions and interactions far from 'home'. Combining literary studies with philology, manuscript studies and musicology, 'Poetry in Motion' shows the truly European reach of song in the Middle Ages.

Summary Ce volume regroupe les contributions de vingt-deux chercheur.es universitaires, collègues et ami.es de Claude Lafleur, qui ont voulu lui rendre hommage à l'occasion de son départ à la retraite en tant que professeur titulaire à la Faculté de philosophie de l'Université Laval. La diversité des aires géographiques et la pluralité des strates générationnelles auxquelles appartiennent les chercheur.es qui ont contribué à ce livre témoignent éloquemment de l'envergure de la « sphère d'influence » des productions intellectuelles de Claude Lafleur. Les textes réunis relèvent des principaux champs de recherche que leur ami et mentor a patiemment labourés au cours de sa carrière académique : histoire des corpus et des manuscrits; transmission des textes philosophiques et de leurs notions fondamentales, de l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge; éditions critiques de textes issus des Facultés des arts et de théologie de l'Université de Paris aux xiiie-xive siècles; enseignement de la philosophie au xiiie siècle à la lumière des textes didascaliques; histoire des pratiques discursives dans les Facultés des arts médiévales; étude de concepts clés de la pensée de Thomas d'Aquin; discussion médiévale sur les universaux; philosophie de l'histoire des médiévistes contemporains. Ce recueil d'études souhaite ainsi se faire le reflet de certains des intérêts heuristiques, des orientations méthodologiques et des thématiques historico-philosophiques que Claude Lafleur a poursuivis, explorées et étudiées dans ses propres écrits, ayant toujours été convaincu « qu'il n'y a pas de statut plus excellent que de vaquer à la philosophie ».

This pioneering book, the first monograph devoted to Donald Judd, addresses the whole breadth of Judd?s practices. Drawing on documents found in nearly twenty archives, David Raskin explains why some of Judd?s works of art seem startlingly ephemeral while others remain insistently physical. In the process of answering this previously perplexing question, Raskin traces Judd?s principles from his beginnings as an art critic through his fabulous installations and designs in Marfa, Texas. He discusses Judd?s early important paintings and idiosyncratic red objects, as well as the three-dimensional works that are celebrated throughout the world. He also examines Judd?s commitment to empirical values and his political activism, and concludes by considering the importance of Judd?s example for recent art. Ultimately, Raskin develops a picture of Judd as never before seen: he shows us an artist who asserted his individuality with spare designs; who found spiritual values in plywood, Plexiglas, and industrial production; who refused to distinguish between thinking and feeling while asserting that science marked the limits of knowledge; who claimed that his art provided intuitions of morality but not a specific set of tenets; and who worked for political causes that were neither left nor right.

David Rosand's Paolo Veronese is a masterly account of the Venetian painter's artistic achievement, demonstrating a complete command of the literature and scholarly issues, insightful interpretations of individual paintings and drawings, and a marvelously elegant prose style. Rosand's reading of each painting judiciously considers how Veronese brought his pictorial intelligence to bear on the formal qualities of his work to create his own personal rhetoric of visual expression, one that embodies the ?dignity and nobility of painting and resonates with viewers and readers today. Rosand?s arguments are not solely visual, however, but are buttressed by extensive quotations from scripture and textual sources. The author synthesizes decades of research and careful reflection, refining his own approaches, which have themselves stood the test of time. Careful readings of specific paintings, including the celebrated Wedding Feast at Cana, the frescoes at the Villa Barbaro, and the church of San Sebastiano, where Rosand played an integral part in the recent restoration by Save Venice Inc., are all accompanied by lavish illustrations, providing the reader the opportunity to put into practice the author?s conviction that our own responses to paintings will guide their interpretation.

Summary The core of this book on the French verse Alexander in France and Italy was written by eminent Alexander specialist David J.A. Ross, who left an incomplete typescript at his death. The baton was taken up by an international team of specialists in medieval literature and art history, Maud Pèrez-Simon, author of Les manuscrits du Roman d'Alexandre en prose, and Alison Stones, author of Manuscripts Illuminated in France: Gothic Manuscripts 1260-1320. In its emphasis on illustration, this book complements the volumes of the Alexander Redivivus series and offers new perspectives on the reception of one of the most popular medieval heroes of history and legend. It forms a sequel to Ross's collected essays and his Illustrated Medieval Alexander-Books in Germany and the Netherlands, to the work of the editors in the field of medieval manuscripts, and to the first volume in the Manuscripta Illuminata series, on the illustrations of Valerius Maximus in French.

Summary Compiled in the early thirteenth century, The Llanthony Stories is a fragmentary collection of exemplaria gathered by an anonymous canon at the Augustinian priory of Llanthony Secunda, Gloucester. While intended primarily for the edification of readers and those who heard the stories preached in sermons, many of the thirty-five exempla offer humorous (even ribald) glimpses of life in the Severn watershed and beyond. Filled with short tales of greedy archdeacons, licentious monks, pious laymen and prelates trying to navigate their world with decorum and piety, the work expands our knowledge of ecclesiastical politics and evangelical priorities in the Anglo-Norman church. Although the work survives in a single manuscript witness, it has long been known to historians and scholars of medieval literature. This volume makes the collection available in modern English for the first time. The translation, accompanied by extensive notes, is complemented by a contextualizing historical introduction and an edition of the Latin text.

Deemed the "foremost sculptor of his generation" by art critic Clement Greenberg, David Smith, who lived from 1906 to 1965, is about to be celebrated in his first retrospective since 1969--to be held at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, from February through May of 2006. David Smith: A Centennial features new photographs of nearly every selected sculpture--110 pieces dating from 1932 to 1965, including important examples from each period, many rarely seen in public. Essays from writers including David Anfam, Michael Brenson, Rosalind Krauss and Paul Hayes Tucker tackle key areas, such as Smith's relationship to the painters of the New York School, the dual development of his family life and series sculpture through the 1950s and 60s, and his use of the landscape outside his studio in formulating his late works. Perhaps most importantly, David Smith: A Centennial also features the most comprehensive research on Smith yet published, including a newly compiled and extended bibliography; a comprehensive exhibition history; a chronology; and an illustrated checklist tracking provenance, exhibition history, and bibliographic references for each featured sculpture, finally bringing scholarship on Smith to the level of that on other important American artists of his generation, such as Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. David Smith: A Centennial considers Smith's oeuvre as a totality, and offers readers the chance to understand the complexity of his aesthetic concerns as well as his impact on the course of American sculpture, and American art at large.

Een nieuwe kijk op Constant Permeke, Hoewel het werk van Constant Permeke (1886-1952) doorgaans tot het expressionisme wordt gerekend, exploreerde de kunstenaar een veelheid aan registers. Al vanaf het begin van zijn loopbaan kreeg hij ruime internationale erkenning met terugkerende onderwerpen als huiselijke taferelen en mensen in hun alledaagse handelingen. Zijn landschappen en zeegezichten stralen een verstilde, soms sublieme warmte uit. Voor Permeke waren kunst en leven nauw met elkaar verbonden. Zijn oeuvre zindert van levenslustige, rauwe energie maar ademt ook weemoed. De techniek van het schilderen ? met krachtige borstelstreken, toetsen, vegen, krassen en vlekken ? combineerde hij met tekenen en omlijnen. Volledig in de lijn van het modernisme zocht hij hoe hij het academisme kon doorbreken en hoe hij de schilderkunst telkens opnieuw kon uitvinden. Dit collectieboek is prachtig geïllustreerd met tientallen schilderijen, beelden en tekeningen. De vele archieffoto?s bieden een diepgravende kijk op het leven en werk van de meester.

De schilder en boer Felix de Boeck (1898-1995) presenteerde zich graag als mystiek aangelegde eenling. Op zijn boerderij in Drogenbos, nabij Brussel, leefde hij op afstand van de artistieke ontwikkelingen in de hoofdstad. In tv-programma?s als Ten huize van of in zijn memoires ?Mijn leven en werk? benadrukte hij dat hij wilde ?sterven in het bed waarin ik geboren ben?. Toch verwierp hij het romantische beeld van de schilderende boer. Het boerenbestaan was voor hem juist een manier om zijn onafhankelijkheid als kunstenaar te waarborgen. De Boeck maakte als volwassene twee wereldoorlogen mee. Hij ontving een groot aantal schilders, dichters en politici op zijn boerderij en maakte portretten van Gandhi, Roosevelt en zelfs van Hitler. De ontwikkeling van De Boeck van figuratieve naar abstracte kunst is in dit boek verweven met de politieke ontwikkelingen in Vlaanderen. De wijze waarop de Belgische overheid na de oorlog omging met het verleden frustreerde hem sterk. Hij zocht aansluiting bij een alternatieve, Vlaams-katholieke kunsttraditie. David Veltman kreeg voor dit boek inzage in het omvangrijke privé-archief van De Boeck, maar hij raadpleegde ook talrijke archieven van collega-kunstenaars, kunstinstellingen en het naoorlogse krijgsgerecht. Zo wist hij het turbulente leven van De Boeck tot een samenhangend verhaal te smeden. David Veltman werkte aan deze biografie als doctoraatstudent bij het Biografie Instituut (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen). In diverse bundels en tijdschriften publiceerde hij artikelen over Belgische 20e eeuwse biografie en geschiedschrijving. Hij was acht jaar werkzaam in het Haarlemse veilinghuis Bubb Kuyper.

Mark Verstockt (1930-2014) played an essential role in the Belgian post-war art scene. Starting from the fifties, his work fits in with the European New Tendencies and the ZERO movement, which became evident through Verstockt's inclusion in the exposition 'Monochrome Malerei' in Leverkusen, the first big ZERO manifestation in 1960. During the mid-sixties, Verstockt attained a geometrical visual language which was a constant motif in his work from that point onwards. He became a respected defender of Minimal Art, with a preference of the square.
