‎Ptolemy's Science of the Stars in the Middle Ages‎

‎Summary Claudius Ptolemy (c. 100-170 AD) is one of the most influential scholars of all time. While he is also the author of treatises on geography, optics and harmonics, his fame primarily stems from two works on the science of the stars, dealing with mathematical astronomy (the Almagest) and astrology (the Tetrabiblos). The Almagest and the Tetrabiblos remained the fundamental texts on the science of the stars for some 1500 years. Both were translated several times into Arabic and Latin and were heavily commented upon, glossed, discussed, and also criticised and improved upon, in the Islamic world and in Christian Europe. Yet, the reception of Ptolemy in medieval cultures is still to a large extent a terra incognita of the history of science. The Arabic and Latin versions of the Almagest and the Tetrabiblos are for the most part unavailable in modern editions, their manuscripts remain largely unexplored and, generally speaking, their history has never been systematically investigated. This volume gathers together fifteen contributions dealing with various aspects of the reception of Ptolemy's astronomy and astrology in the Islamic world and in Christian Europe up to the seventeenth century. Contributions are by Jos Bellver, Jean-Patrice Boudet, Josep Casulleras, Bojidar Dimitrov, Dirk Grupe, Paul Hullmeine, Alexander Jones, Richard L. Kremer, Y. Tzvi Langermann, H. Darrel Rutkin, Michael H. Shank, Nathan Sidoli, Carlos Steel, Johannes Thomann and Henry Zepeda. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction I.

‎Collaboratie en berechting van Nederlandse architecten 1940-1950‎

‎, vantilt uitgeverij, 2017 gebonden, 16 x 24 cm, rijk geillustreerd in kleur, 424 pagina's. ISBN 9789460043246.‎

‎Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd er in Nederland weinig gebouwd, afgezien van verdedigingswerken. Daardoor wordt deze periode in veel architectuurgeschiedenissen min of meer overgeslagen. Dat betekent echter niet dat er niets gebeurde. De Duitse bezettingsmacht installeerde de Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer, die onder andere de opdracht kreeg om de architectuur op nationaalsocialistische leest te schoeien. Het ging daarbij niet alleen om de ideologische aspecten van het vak maar ook om de praktische, zodat de Bond van Nederlandse Architecten opgeheven zou kunnen worden. In het kielzog van de machtsstrijd die zich ontspon, ontstonden verschillende ideeen over een nieuwe architectuur. Bouwkunst en de Nieuwe Orde richt zich op architecten die werden aangeklaagd, en vaak veroordeeld, wegens collaboratie. Net als alle andere Nederlanders konden zij worden berecht via het Bijzonder Strafrecht. Voor ?lichtere? gevallen werd een Ereraad voor Architectuur opgericht, waarin vakgenoten het gedrag van collega?s moesten beoordelen. Hoewel dit werk van naming en shaming achteraf alom als een mislukking werd beschouwd, hebben de uitspraken grote invloed gehad op de beeldvorming over de betrokkenen. De reputaties van een hele generatie architecten werden erdoor gered of gebroken. ‎

‎World-maps for Finding the Direction and Distance to Mecca : Innovation and Tradition in Islamic Science‎

‎, Brill, 1999 Hardcover, 638 pages, ENG, 295 x 230 x 40 mm, book is in very good condition !, dustjacket is included but in bad shape, however the book is better without it, illustrated in colour / b/w . ISBN 9789004113671.‎

‎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 & Co., Shipbuilders : An Illustrated History of the Oldest Shipyard on the Admiralty List‎

‎, The History Press Ltd 2012, 2012 Paperback, 175 pages, English, 235 x 165 mm, book in perfect condition , with much illustrations in b/w,. ISBN 9780752466125.‎

‎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! .‎

‎Poetry in Motion. Languages and Lyrics in the European Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 295 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:2 col., 4 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503582221.‎

‎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.

‎Donald Judd‎

‎New Haven, Yale, 2017 Softcover, 220 pages, 27 x 22.5 cm, 110 color + 10 b-w illustrations, English text. *New. ISBN 9780300228687.‎

‎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.‎

‎Paolo Veronese‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, Pages: 376 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm; Illustrations:2 b/w, 357 col. Language:English, Italian, Latin. ISBN 9781909400986.‎

‎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.‎

‎Illustrated Medieval Alexander-Books in French Verse‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 639 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:260 col., 10 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503581057.‎

‎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 P rez-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.‎

‎Llanthony Stories. A Translation of the Narrationes aliquot fabulosae‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, x + 173 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888443090.‎

‎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.‎

‎David Smith, A Centennial‎

‎, Guggenheim Museum, 2006 Hardcover with dusjacket, 447 pages, very richly illustrated with coloured illustrations, English text. ISBN 9780892073436.‎

‎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.‎

‎Constant Permeke monografie‎

‎, Hannibal, 2024 Gebonden, Hardcover, 208 pagina's met afbeeldingen in kleur, 27.5x21cm, nieuw. ISBN 9789464666977.‎

‎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 ge llustreerd met tientallen schilderijen, beelden en tekeningen. De vele archieffoto?s bieden een diepgravende kijk op het leven en werk van de meester.‎

‎biografie van Felix de Boeck (1898-1995) Sterven in het bed waarin ik geboren ben.‎

‎NL, Verloren Publishers, 2021 softcover, 400 pagina's met illustraties. ISBN 9789087049164.‎

‎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 priv -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 Genesis and development of a form language. monograph‎

‎, Callewaert Vanlangendonck Gallery, 2018 hardcover, 208 pages, Illustrated Color illustrations, English / Dutch. 26x20cm. ISBN 9789082482621.‎

‎Mark Verstockt | Genesis and development of a form language monograph 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.‎
