‎Helden in harnas. gedrukte ridderverhalen uit de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw‎

‎, Sterck & De Vreese, 2021 Paperback,128 pp Illustrated. tekst Nederlands. ISBN 9789056157951.‎

‎Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (red.) Ridders roepen bij jong en oud beelden op van heldhaftige avonturen, zwaardgevechten, magiërs, draken en hoofse liefde. Niet alle ridderverhalen zijn bewaard gebleven. Terwijl Karel ende Elegast terechtkwam in de literaire canon, verdwenen de verhalen over de vrouw met de vissenstaart Melusine, Helias de Zwaanridder of ridder Parijs en de mooie Vienna. De auteurs gaan op zoek naar die fascinatie voor de helden in harnas. De opkomst van de boekdrukkunst in de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw veranderde veel. Middeleeuwse verhalen werden gecommercialiseerd, aangepast en internationaal verspreid. De gebruikte verteltechnieken doen denken aan de verhaallijnen van soapseries en droegen bij aan het succes van ridderverhalen.// Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (eds.) Knights evoke images of heroic adventures, sword fights, magicians, dragons and courtly love in young and old. Not all knight's stories have survived. While Karel ende Elegast ended up in the literary canon, the stories about the fish-tailed woman Melusine, Helias the Swan knight or knight Paris and the beautiful Vienna disappeared. The authors go in search of that fascination for the heroes in armor. The rise of the printing press in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries changed a lot. Medieval stories were commercialized, adapted and distributed internationally. The storytelling techniques used are reminiscent of the storylines of soap operas and contributed to the success of chivalric stories.‎

‎Cette chaîne de montagnes a été créée il y a environ 300 millions d'années. Les Romains découvrirent que cette zone était riche en filons d?or et d?argent. C'est pourquoi ils ont construit ici plusieurs forts et établi plusieurs routes commerciales dans cette région. Au Moyen Âge, cette zone constituait la frontière entre le royaume des Francs et celui des Wisigoths. Plusieurs châteaux, comme le château du Hautpoul et le château de Lastours, datent de cette époque. Grâce à l'enclavement de cette zone, la Montagne Noire a été largement épargnée par les effets dévastateurs de la Guerre de Cent Ans. Pendant des siècles, l?exploitation des métaux précieux a été la principale source de revenus de cette région. Après l'épuisement des filons d'or, d'argent et de cuivre au XVe siècle, cette zone fut de plus en plus abandonnée. En partie grâce à ce développement, la Montagne Noire est devenue au fil des siècles l'une des plus belles réserves naturelles du sud de la France.‎

‎In 1933 werkte Elisabeth Ivanovsky af en toe in een drukkerij in Antwerpen om stencils te maken. Ze kreeg de kans om daar haar eigen creatie te publiceren - "Cirkus", een portfolio van zeven sjablonen inclusief omslag - onafhankelijk van de werken die voor de I.S.A.D. (La Cambre) zijn uitgevoerd. De portfolio werd voor het eerst tentoongesteld op de officiële Bessarabische salon in Chisinau in 1934 daarna in "Infancia y Arte moderno", IVAM Centre Julio Gonzalez, Valencia en "Russian Art of the Image for Children (1900-1945)" in het Centre de l'Illustration, Hôtel de Mora, Moulins. In 2010, opnieuw in Chisinau in het National Museum of Arts van Moldavië tijdens de herdenking "Elisabeth Ivanovschi - 100 ani de la nastere" in 2010 ook daarna tijdens "Lof der zeldzaamheid - Honderd schatten van het zeldzame boekenreservaat" in de Nationale Bibliotheek van Frankrijk François-Mitterrand in 2014-2015. Van de 59 exemplaren van de originele uitgave (Antwerpen: Uitgeverij Tijl) wordt er één bewaard door de BnF (Parijs) evenals vijf aquarelprojecten, één door de Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KBR, Brussel), één door het Van Abbemuseum - LS Collectie (Eindhoven), één door het Nationaal Museum voor Moldavische Kunst (Chisinau), één door de Bibliotheek Universiteit Van Amsterdam en twee door particulieren (Parijs, Brussel) en deze portfolio in Antwerpen). In 1933, Elisabeth Ivanovsky occasionally worked in a printing house in Antwerp to make stencils. She had the opportunity to publish her own creation there - "Cirkus", a portfolio of seven templates including cover - independent of the works submitted for the I.S.A.D. (La Cambre). The portfolio was first exhibited at the official Bessarabian salon in Chisinau in 1934 then at "Infancia y Arte moderno", IVAM Center Julio Gonzalez, Valencia and "Russian Art of the Image for Children (1900-1945)" at the Center de l'Illustration, Hôtel de Mora, Moulins.

‎Themistius and Aristotle. Teaching Philosophy from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 302 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581644.‎

‎Summary This is the first book length examining closely Themistius' philosophical thought and his understanding of Aristotelian philosophy. Themistius, well known as an eloquent orator and political personality of Constantinople during the fourth century ad, is an influential commentator on works of Aristotle. By assessing both of these aspects of Themistius' intellectual accomplishments, the present work explores and contextualizes his thought in both his paraphrases of the works of Aristotle and in his orations. Themistius' interpretation of Aristotelian thought, deeply influential in both the Arab and Latin worlds, and his strategy for teaching Aristotle, even outside the professional schools of philosophy, are major foci of this study. In particular, this work explicates Themistius' understanding of the nature and causality of the First Principle, of the cosmic order, and of the human soul and intellect. It argues that Themistius' approach reflects not only the systematization imparted by Alexander of Aphrodisias to the doctrines of Aristotle, but also the increasing, though oftentimes silent, influence of Plotinus. This is evident in the consideration of the three philosophical issues of God, cosmos, and soul analysed in Themistius, which reveal the preponderance of Plotinus' philosophy reflected in the Themistian orations. Concomitantly, it explores how Themistius' teachings proved decisive in the medieval understanding of Aristotle both among Arabic and Hebrew readers, as well as in the universities of Latin Europe. As such, this study challenges our understanding of philosophy in fourth-century Constantinople. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface, by R.C. Taylor Introduction Chapter 1. Themistius.

‎Summary Le phénomène formulaire est foisonnant, protéiforme et omniprésent dans tous les aspects des pratiques culturelles médiévales. Poésie, actes épiscopaux, encyclopédies, récits de miracles, charmes, formulaires notariaux, chroniques : tous ces genres textuels emploient des formules à des degrés divers et sous des formes variées. Au-delà de cette diversité apparente se dessinent cependant des problématiques communes: désir de permanence, argumentation fondée sur un savoir partagé unissant une communauté d'utilisateurs (et excluant aisi ceux qui n'appartiendraient pas à ladite communauté), souplesse et adaptabilité bien réelles derrière la fixité apparente de la forme. Ce quatrième ouvrage consacré à la formule médiévale rassemble des contributions en français, en anglais et en espagnol. À travers l'étude fine d'une multitude de documents de natures et d'origines géographiques très variées, ces articles analysent les formules à la fois dans leur fonctionnement textuel (et parfois graphique) et dans leur rôle social. La confrontation de disciplines différentes permet d'aborder le phénomène formulaire dans sa globalité, et ainsi de mieux distinguer ce qui n'est propre qu'à un type de formules ou de texte particulier et ce qui est au contraire essentiel au concept de formule.

‎Weather, water, and climate. How we feel, how productive we are, even our sheer existence, depends on these three things. The United States economic activity varies annually by 1.7% due to weather-that is more than $500 billion dollars each year! Weather applications on mobile devices are the second most popular 'apps' - more popular than social networking, maps, music,and news. In Treading on Thin Air, Dr. Elizabeth Austin, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist, reveals how the climate is intimately tied to our daily lives. The effects and impacts of weather on humans, society and the planet are changing with the times. Dr. Austin will demystify climate change, revealing what is really happening with our climate and why, whether it is El Nino, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes. Weather and society are at its most fascinating at extremes, and as Dr. Austin is one of a handful of forensic meteorologists around the globe. She has been called upon to investigate plane crashes, murders, wildfires, avalanches, even bombing cases. Drawing upon her rich experiences, Austin's Treading on Thin Air promises to be an enlightening and informative journey through the wild word of weather.‎

‎Summary Saint Patrick is a central figure in the medieval Irish Church. As the converter saint he was a central anchor through which Irish people came to understand their complicated religious past as well as their new place in the wider Christian world. This study considers some of the earliest and most influential writings focused on Saint Patrick, and asks how successive generations forged, sustained and redirected aspects of the saint's persona in order to suit their specific religious and political needs. In this book Elizabeth Dawson, for the first time, treats the Hiberno-Latin vitae of Patrick as a body of connected texts. Seminal questions about the corpus are addressed, such as who wrote the Lives and why? What do the works tell us about the communities that venerated and celebrated the saint? And what impact did these Lives have on the success and endurance of the saint's cult? Challenging the perception that Patrick's legend was created and sustained almost exclusively by the monastic community at Armagh, she demonstrates that the Patrick who emerges from the Lives is a varied and malleable saint with whom multiple communities engaged.

‎Morning Change is a book on movement, location and nomadism in the oeuvre of the Brussels based German artist Heide Hinrichs (b. 1976). It is an invitation to follow different lines that are directed east ? east of Kassel, east of Busan, east of Seattle, east of London. The lines are drawn over continents and oceans, against the Earth?s own movement we unconsciously witness with each sunrise. Within the traces of these lines, static objects are put back into motion and they are made to leave their recommended positions of meaning. The publication brings together three groups of works, developed over different periods of time between 1999 and 2018, exploring the artist?s recurring interest in these topics. the horse ? a story that starts 10 year after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Silent Sisters?/?Stille Schwestern together with a series of drawings and installations that were conceived in response to DICTEE ? a text written by the Korean-American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and On Some of the Birds of Nepal (Parting the Animal Kingdom of the East) ? an installation that Hinrichs created in the context of the first Kathmandu Triennale 2017.

‎One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.‎

‎Over the course of his life, Arnout Balis (d. 2021) did a lot of thinking about and around Rubens. A principal beneficiary of this was the Corpus Rubenianum, that multi-volume catalogue of the work of the artist to which he devoted so much of his scholarly endeavour ? as author, and, still more, as the most generous of editors. But he also produced wide-ranging, as well as more closely detailed, studies on the artist that were written for a variety of contexts. Arnout Balis was an artist before he was an art historian, and the question of how Rubens channelled his ideas into visual form constantly attracted and intrigued him. He was fascinated, too, by the practicalities of the artist?s method of production, given the enormous output of Rubens?s studio. Not only did he rigorously assemble and analyse every scrap of information about pupils or associates of the master, but he made himself an expert in the work of each of Rubens?s artistic contemporaries. In all his investigations, whether involving the attribution of a painting, an iconographic puzzle or the solution to a historical problem, he took nothing for granted, treating any received idea or initial intuition with due scepticism until it could be shown to stand the test of the evidence, documentary and visual. The present volume shows the Balis method in action. It includes several studies already acclaimed as exemplary, and others which deserve to be more widely known. Five of them are made available here for the first time in English translation.

‎Pontormo at San Lorenzo. The Making and Meaning of a Lost Renaissance Masterpiece‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:58 b/w, 90 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9781909400948.‎

‎Summary Pontormo's frescoes in San Lorenzo were the most important cycle of the sixteenth century after Michelangelo's Sistine frescoes.? They had an enormous impact on artists until their destruction in the eighteenth century, and their interpretation has also had a significant bearing not only on the reception of this artist, but also of late Renaissance art in Florence. Based on archival and historical research, this book determines a new date for the inception of the fresco cycle and reconstructs the day-by-day activity in the church that had an impact on Pontormo's project. ?It reveals Pontormo's painstaking working method. The new reconstruction corrects the visual order of the frescoed scenes, and conclusively demonstrates the orthodoxy of the choir's iconography.? It sets them into the artistic and architectural context of the church of San Lorenzo, relating them to works of art by Fra Bartolomeo and Michelangelo, as well as to complex liturgical and religious functions.? This study establishes the intentions of the Medici and the canons of the church in having Pontormo paint the specific space in the church where he painted, and the specific subjects that were included.? Finally, it reveals the unsuspected impact Pontormo's paintings had on other works of art. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION: The introduction explains the history and historiography of both Pontormo in general and this commission in particular. CHAPTER 1: LIFE AND DEATH IN THE CHOIR Can we re-imagine the day-to-day progress of the commission? Beginning with a re-dating of the project, I shall trace the practical realities of daily painting in the choir, the comings and goings of artists and people: the ?world? of the choir will be explored. The frequent trope of Pontormo as an isolated loner and painfully slow artist will be disproved. The close supervision of the major stakeholders for the project, the Duke and the church, will be demonstrated. CHAPTER 2: REVERSALS OF FORTUNE My discovery that Pontormo reversed his preliminary sketches when they were scaled up into full-scale cartoons has demonstrated that several of the extant drawings used to reconstruct the choir must be inverted. Adjusting the reconstruction to take this into account resolves issues of visual, thematic, and iconographic coherence which have perplexed scholars. Essential elements in my new reconstruction reveal new and unexpected functions and meanings for Pontormo's paintings. These functions and iconographical connections place the lost paintings in a new light in relation to the fabric of the church of San Lorenzo. CHAPTER 3: LAWRENCE'S ACTS and CHAPTER 4: CYCLES OF SALVATION In these two sections I explain the significance of the frescoes. The first chapter focuses on the end wall, which was the public view of the choir and on which Pontormo's painting of Saint Lawrence provided a personal message of salvation to viewers. The second of these two chapters explains the entire set of images. This is the first time a seamlessly cohesive and inclusive interpretation of the cycle has been found. The new textual associations supplied in these chapters establishe that far from being of questionable orthodoxy, Pontormo's frescoes were a brilliant encapsulation of the functions of the choir. CHAPTER 5: THEN AND NOW: PONTORMO'S PLACE IN HISTORY Vasari's comments about the San Lorenzo commission in the Life of Pontormo created a negative view. This chapter corrects that, and replaces it with an appreciation of the gigantic task he confronted, the brilliance of his solutions, and the positive reception he and his paintings received.‎
