‎Summary Le lettere del medico fiorentino Alessandro Pini (1653-1717) e il suo trattato De moribus Turcarum fanno emergere un'immagine avvincente del popolo egiziano e della cultura ottomana. Ci che Pini ha osservato in Egitto e nel mondo ottomano rivela una straordinaria dimensione mediterranea di commistione culturale, fatta di scambi e di incontri scaturiti dalle necessit lavorative e anche dalla semplice quotidianit . Oltre alla missione scientifica ufficiale egli doveva svolgere un'intrigante attivit spionistica per Cosimo III, Granduca di Toscana, in cui si rivel poi fallimentare. Amareggiato e osteggiato per l'insuccesso, pass poi alle dipendenze della Repubblica di Venezia e dimor per vari anni a Istanbul e in Morea, dove senza pregiudizi e con ampiezza di vedute osserv le tradizioni e i costumi dei popoli che incontrava. Decise dunque consapevolmente di scrivere l'esaltazione di un mondo che l'Occidente vedeva come il suo alter ego negativo. Sebbene fosse stato imprigionato nella sua societ di adozione, Pini rimase affascinato, forse anche ipnotizzato, da quello stesso mondo che lo aveva variamente premiato e frustrato sia nel suo lavoro ufficiale che nel suo incarico segreto.

‎Reception of Biblical Figures. Essays in Method‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 8 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503600765.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

‎Summary Music in the Disruptive Era contains fifteen essays assessing the impact of today's revolutionary digital technologies on the ways audiences and industry professionals perceive, compose, consume, research, and communicate about music. After an initial assessment of ?the Disruptive Era? in a series of six snapshots offering a summary and review of some of the technological challenges (and opportunities) confronting both music producers and consumers, a group of international scholars considers the impact of the digital era in three major areas. First, there is the revolution in data storage and retrieval, with online archives and other digital resources making an unprecedented volume and diversity of information available to scholars and researchers for the first time ? all from the convenience of a home desktop. Second, three essays assess some of the myriad ways in which composers and music industry professionals have been influenced by the potentialities and discontinuities of the current age to find creative inspiration, attract new audiences, and reimagine traditional musical idioms. Finally, on the cutting edge of the digital divide, scholarly contributors examine two of the countless new genres birthed by the advent of the latest technological innovations: specifically, the ?meme? and the ?video loop.?

‎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! .‎

‎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.

‎Paolo Veronese‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, Pages: 376 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm; Illustrations:2 b/w, 357 col. Language(s):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.‎
