‎Latin Love Elegy and the Dawn of the Ovidian Age. A Study of the Versus Eporedienses and the Latin Classics‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 175 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503587035.‎

‎Summary The Versus Eporedienses (Verses from Ivrea), written around the year 1080 and attributed to a certain Wido, is a highly fascinating elegiac love poem celebrating worldly pleasures in an age usually associated with contemptus mundi. One of the poem's intriguing features, its extensive use of the Latin classics, especially of Ovid, makes it a precursor of the poetry of the so-called twelfth-century renaissance. In this first book-length study of the poem, the author provides a historical contextualisation, an edition and translation, a verse-by-verse commentary, a detailed analysis of the classical sources and a discussion of its similarities with contemporary and later medieval poetry.

‎Pre-Christian Religions of the North. Research and Reception, Volume II: From c. 1830 to the Present‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxiii + 635 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:9 b/w, 10 col., 4 tables b/w., 2 Musical Examples, Languages: English, Old Norse. ISBN 9782503568805.‎

‎Summary Over more than a thousand years since pre-Christian religions were actively practised, European - and later contemporary - society has developed a fascination with the beliefs of northern Europe before the arrival of Christianity, which have been the subject of a huge range of popular and scholarly theories, interpretations, and uses. Indeed, the pre-Christian religions of the North have exerted a phenomenal influence on modern culture, appearing in everything from the names of days of the week to Hollywood blockbusters. Scholarly treatments have been hardly less varied. Theories - from the Middles Ages until today - have depicted these pre-Christian religious systems as dangerous illusions, the works of Satan, representatives of a lost proto-Indo-European religious culture, a form of 'natural' religion, and even as a system non-indigenous in origin, derived from cultures outside Europe. The Research and Reception strand of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North project establishes a definitive survey of the current and historical uses and interpretations of pre-Christian mythology and religious material, tracing the many ways in which people both within and outside Scandinavia have understood and been influenced by these religions, from the Christian Middle Ages to contemporary media of all kinds. The previous volume (I) traced the reception down to the early nineteenth century, while the present volume (II) takes up the story from c. 1830 down to the present day and the burgeoning of interest across a diversity of new as well as old media.

‎Éloquence et action à la Renaissance‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 241 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 11 col., Language: French. ISBN 9782503583204.‎

‎Summary Cicéron oppose dans le De oratore éloquence et rhétorique : c'est en prenant des leçons de ceux qui avaient une éloquence naturelle que l'art de la rhétorique est né. L'éloquence n'est pas une conséquence de la rhétorique, mais la rhétorique l'est de l'éloquence. La rhétorique ne doit jamais oublier son rapport à la nature. Or, aux cours des âges, la rhétorique devenue prescriptive finit par s'isoler du sens, de la création, de l'action humaine et devenir l'exercice stérile d'hommes obscurs, abîmés dans le silence de la vita contemplativa. Lorsque les prêtres donnent plus dans les mots que dans le contenu, chante le fou dans Le Roi Lear (III, 2), le royaume n'est pas loin du pourrissement. Dans cette relation entre éloquence et action à la Renaissance, l'action n'est autre que le concept suggéré par la vita activa, tout ce qui touche la vie sociale et politique et que la période humaniste privilégie. Si l'action se distingue ainsi de l'actio, la cinquième tâche de la rhétorique, qui met en oeuvre le corps même de la parole, la voix et le geste, qu'il soit de la main ou de l'oeil, elle peut aussi l'inclure. À la cour d'Elsinore, les gestes et les regards de l'acteur ont un rôle politique. Ainsi se propose-t-on de comprendre comment la Renaissance a repris le grand débat classique sur la valeur éthique de l'éloquence et de son art, la rhétorique. Comment les oppositions mots/choses, mots/faits et mots/actes se relaient entre elles pour fonder des théories du langage qui peuvent aboutir à un scepticisme sur le pouvoir des mots ou au contraire à sa valorisation, allant jusqu'à faire de l'éloquence une arme contre la violence. L'étude de la vie publique et de la langue, en passant par celle des arts, musique et peinture, fait apparaître l'importance de ce débat à l'âge moderne.

‎Summary European Renaissance Festivals are noted for their extravagance, for their inherited classical culture, and as evidence of how court and civic spectacles could express political, religious, social, and economic aspirations. In this new monograph, the accent is firmly on the violent context of Magnificence: it examines how war affected the minds and practice of both artists and princes, and shows how victims and their suffering were as prominent in festival as were conquerors and their projections of victory. What emerges here is the dark side represented in princely entries where imperial ambitions are built upon civic devastation and where myths elaborate and expose their ambiguous nature and message. Artists and poets collaborated in bringing victory and violence together: Mantegna and Durer in triumphal processions; Frans Floris and Rubens on the canvases they created for triumphal arches, where mythology was put to work to arouse excitement for deeds of heroism and death, while engravers depicted scenes of war and destruction to accommodate contemporary taste.

‎Charles V, Prince Philip, and the Politics of Succession. Imperial Festivities in Mons and Hainault, 1549‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 377 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:36 b/w, 36 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503586151.‎

‎Summary This book is based on an international conference held in the capital of Hainault to celebrate the city of Mons as European Capital of Culture (2015). For the first time, through a range of interdisciplinary studies, the magnificent festivals created to honour Prince Philip of Spain as he journeyed across Europe to receive his sovereignty of the Low Countries are brought to life. The splendour of entries in the cities of Northern Italy (such as Genoa and Milan) was challenged by the civic allegories of triumph displayed throughout the Low Countries in Ghent, Antwerp, and Amsterdam. Outpacing all that magnificence were the entertainments prepared by Mary of Hungary at Binche: triumphal arches, martial feats of arms, balls, masquerades, and castle-stormings entertained Emperor Charles V and his son Prince Philip. The essays in this volume reconstitute the political and social context of these extraordinary celebrations and focus on the purpose and role of festival in the changing political strategies of Charles V. They are illustrated with a total of 36 b&w and 36 colour images.

‎Jan van Mieris (1660-1690) : His Life and Work / catalogue raisonne.‎

‎, Casae, 2021 Hardcover, 182 pages; ENG.edition; 305 x 215 x 16 mm, NEW, illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN 9789083103112.‎

‎Jan van Mieris was trained by his famous father Frans, and worked in the tradition of the Leiden 'fijnschilders'. Art historian and former owner M.J. Ripps about his Self-Portrait: "The theme of the artist with the tools of his trade to hand has a robust tradition on both sides of the Alps. In the middle sixteenth-century artists such as Catherina Sanders van Hemessen (c. 1500 - 1566) and Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1532 - 1625) memorably depicted themselves with brushes, palette, and Mahlstick, as did leading artists of the subsequent generations. Jan van Mieris' self-portrait is in dialogue with that of his father Frans, and engages a tradition that ultimately reaches back to Rogier van der Weyden (1399/1400 - 1464) and forward to Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 - 1669) - critical reference points with which the elder and younger Mieris would have been well acquainted. And by placing themselves at a ledge, father and son invoked a pictorial tradition with roots in Raphael's iconic portrait of Castiglione. In this little self-portrait, thus, grand traditions are encapsulated in miniature."‎

‎BOERHAAVE BOTANICUS : Zijn tuinen, zaaiboeken en botanische vrienden‎

‎Leiden, Primavera Pers, 2018 Paperback, 220 blz, Nederlands, Illustraties. ISBN 9789059972742.‎

‎Dit boek gaat over een onbekende kant van de beroemde Leidse arts Herman Boerhaave: zijn leven als plantkundige. In 1709 werd Boerhaave hoogleraar geneeskunde en kruidkunde, en prefect van de Leidse Hortus Botanicus. Binnen een jaar had hij een catalogus van alle planten in de Hortus samengesteld. Gedurende vijftien jaar noteerde hij ? in zogenoemde zaaiboeken ? alles wat hij zaaide of plantte in de Hortus en later op Oud-Poelgeest, het landgoed dat hij kocht omdat de Hortus te klein was voor zijn verzameldrift. Bioloog Margreet Wesseling ontdekte in deze zaaiboeken een schat aan nieuwe informatie die zij combineerde met gegevens uit de vele brieven die Boerhaave schreef. In Boerhaave Botanicus presenteert de auteur een aanvulling op het beeld dat wij van de arts Boerhaave hebben. U leest over Boerhaave?s botanische vrienden, zoals de Brit William Sherard en Jean Baptiste Bassand, hofarts te Wenen; over Fransen, Italianen, een Spanjaard en een jonge Zweed. Overal vandaan stuurde dit internationale gezelschap zaden naar Boerhaave. Bomen hadden Boerhaave?s bijzondere belangstelling. Op Oud-Poelgeest stichtte hij een arboretum met exotische soorten uit Noord-Amerika en Oost-Indië, maar ook alle soorten essen en wilgen die hij maar kon bemachtigen. Carolus Linnaeus, de later beroemd geworden grondlegger van o.a. botanische nomenclatuur, kwam er op bezoek en noemde het een waar paradijs. Boerhaave Botanicus is een eerbetoon aan een man met een onverwoestbare werklust, een arts die zich in korte tijd een nieuw vakgebied eigen maakte en zoveel botanische kennis vergaarde dat hij van zijn vakgenoten internationaal veel waardering kreeg.‎
