Summary This book offers a study of the scientific landscape of medieval Bavaria during the higher Middle Ages. Based on manuscripts as well as medieval library catalogues, it tries to quantify the so-called 'Discovery of Nature' and tries to analyse it from the perspective of a monastic landscape in which the arrival of the astrolab in the 11th century marked a significant turning point. By introducing new methods and questions into the traditional body of Carolingian astronomy, monastic scholars of this area played a decisive, albeit neglected, role in the development of medieval astronomy. The book reconstructs the studies of the monk Wilhelm von Hirsau who tackled some of the most urgent problems of astronomy of his time: correcting the dates of the solstices and finding latitude. These studies are then placed in the broader development of medieval science, particularly focusing on his sphaera, an instrument that has often been wrongly understood as a teaching device. In contrast, the present study argues that this instrument is not only William's lost astronomical clock, but also the first example for stationary observational astronomy in medieval Europe as well as an important milestone towards the empirical astronomy of future centuries. Dieses Buch untersucht die Wissenslandschaft des deutschsprachigen S dostens im hohen Mittelalter. Auf Grundlage berlieferter Handschriften und mittelalterlicher Bibliothekskataloge wird die sogenannte ?Entdeckung der Natur' quantifiziert und aus der Perspektive einer Klosterlandschaft analysiert, in der die Ankunft des Astrolabs im 11. Jahrhundert einen bedeutenden Wendepunkt markierte. Durch die Einf hrung neuer Methoden und Fragen in den tradierten Wissenskosmos des fr hen Mittelalters spielten die monastischen Gelehrten dieses Raumes eine entscheidende, wenngleich vernachl ssigte Rolle f r die Entwicklung der mittelalterlichen Astronomie. Das Buch rekonstruiert die Studien des M nchs Wilhelm von Hirsau, der sich mit einigen der dr ngendsten Problemen der Astronomie seiner Zeit befasste: der Neudatierung der Sonnenwendepunkte sowie der Suche nach dem eigenen Breitengrad. Vor allem wird seine Sphaera in den Blick genommen, ein Instrument, das bislang vor allem als Lehrger t gedeutet wurde. Im Gegensatz dazu vertritt die vorliegende Studie die These, dass es sich bei diesem Instrument nicht nur um Wilhelms verlorene astronomische Uhr handelt, sondern um das erste berlieferte Beispiel eines station ren Observatoriums im mittelalterlichen Europa und damit um einen wichtigen Meilenstein in der Geschichte der empirischen Astronomie.

masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen in the centre of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Room 606 is the last surviving interior of the SAS House: an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960. Jacobsen was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, throughout his career, creating complete settings for daily life and dissolving the boundaries between architecture, interior and industrial design. The chapters are organized thematically: each consists of three sections that together look at Room 606 as a microcosm of the SAS House, reconstruct the original building, and trace the connections between Jacobsen's masterpiece and his other works - from whole buildings to household objects.

Summary Founded in 1132, Fountains Abbey became the wealthiest English Cistercian monastery - yet relatively little analysis has been made of its surviving records to investigate how its wealth was controlled and sustained. This book deals with this secular aspect of the religious community at Fountains, investigating in particular the way in which prosaic business records were compiled and redacted. It traces the transmission of data from original charters through successive versions of cartularies, and in the process establishes the existence of a previously unknown manuscript. It also reveals how abbots in the fifteenth century interacted with and adapted the records in their care. In this process, two quite different aspects of monastic life are uncovered. First, it sheds new light on the history of Fountains Abbey through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, amongst other things how it responded to the turmoil of the Black Death, and discloses for the first time the allegiance of one abbot to the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses. Second, it reveals the worldly skills shown by the community of Fountains that were successfully applied to exploit the monastery's large landholdings across Yorkshire, mainly through wool and agricultural production, but also through fisheries, tanning, mining, and metalworking. The economic success of these activities enabled the abbey to become a prosperous institution which rivalled the wealth of the aristocracy. This book addresses recordkeeping and archival memory at one, Cistercian, monastery - albeit a well-endowed and prosperous one - in the north of England. However, its treatment of archival sources could be extended to other houses in different geographical locations and different orders, to enable comparisons between monasteries dealing with economic change and social and political upheaval in the later Middle Ages.

Summary Peter of Ireland (Petrus de Ybernia) was born sometime around the beginning of the thirteenth century in Ireland, probably of a Norman family. He probably left Ireland aged around age 15 to pursue his studies abroad. His interest in medical and scientific questions would suggest a stay at Oxford, whereas his approach to logic would suggest a Parisian influence. By the middle of the century he was Professor of Logic and Natural Philosophy at the University at Naples. Peter is perhaps one of the best known of medieval Irish thinkers on the continent owing to the fact that he was held to be the teacher of the young Thomas Aquinas at Naples University from 1239-44. As such, it would be he who, in all likelihood, first introduced Thomas to the study of Aristotle and perhaps also to the commentaries of Avicenna and Averroes. The works presented here date from at least a decade later, and relate to lectures given at Naples in the 1250s and 1260s. The extent to which he was held in respect by his contemporaries is to be seen in his solution (determinatio) to the disputed question on the origin of the design of an animal's body which was held before King Manfred around 1260. It was, perhaps the culmination of a famous scholarly career.

Summary The proceedings of the S.I.E.P.M. Colloquium at Maynooth published in this volume shed new light on the development of the perception of the other within the different philosophical, religious, and cultural traditions in the late Middle Ages as well as the early modern era in both Christian and Islamic thought. The contributions consider not only the theological background but also the philosophical presuppositions of the concepts which were used to develop various apologetic writings and theological treatises that dealt with questions of cultural and religious difference. The rich and diverse medieval and early modern tradition of engaging with the other and the arguments for or against toleration on topics that are equally diverse are discussed with reference to both the Western and Eastern Christian tradition, to the contributions of Islamic Thinkers on the topic, and to the flourishing tradition of a constructed interreligious dialogue such as that between Christians and Jews. Finally, this book includes a number of important investigations exploring the relationship between toleration and rights not only within Europe but also in the lands of the so-called new world and its indigenous peoples where arguments of exclusion were grounded intheories such as grace-based dominium.

The central theme of Rubens?s paintings is the human figure, often represented nude or partially clothed and involved in dramatic action. As a history painter, Rubens?s acclaimed skill in rendering the human body whether male or female, lean or fleshy, mature in years or young, animated or lifeless, vigorous or diseased, heroic or cowering, sensuous or decrepit, idealised or blemished and imperfect enabled him to vie with the greatest artists ever known, while creating increasing demand for his work among Europe?s intellectual, cultural, religious and political lite. His mastery in depicting human figures and their dynamic movements suggests that he followed the example of Leonardo da Vinci (1452?1519), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475?1564) and other Italian artists he admired, who made extensive studies of human anatomy. As pointed out by two recent perceptive scholars, however, the robust, muscular male nudes in action who appear in so many of Rubens?s narrative paintings are often anatomically inaccurate. Moreover, and as will become clear in this volume, Rubens?s approach to anatomical study was not closely similar to that of any of his forbears. In many respects his ways of working are comparable to those of Michelangelo, who used the knowledge he acquired through dissection not to pursue verisimilitude but to invent the anatomy of his figures according to his own idea of physical beauty, strength and expression. Yet unlike Italian Renaissance artists such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Alessandro Allori (1535?1607), Rubens did not perform or witness dissections and seems to have rarely studied from the live nude model. What, then, was the nature and extent of Rubens?s study of human anatomy? The present volume will offer an answer to that question, while also establishing when and where most of his anatomical works were made and reassessing the issue of their intended purpose.

The posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954?2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf?s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception. This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf?s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpa s Du Bois ( 1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf?s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois?s stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2014), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.

Het oeuvre van de Belgische kunstenaar Robert Devriendt is onlosmakelijk verbonden met film: zijn schilderijen zijn klein en kunnen bekeken worden als een reeks stills. De samenhang van deze ?filmische montages? is vaak enigmatisch - er is geen vastomlijnd script. De toeschouwer ervaart de schilderijenreeksen als onopgeloste zaken, waarbij de personages op het schilderij de rol spelen van acteurs: een man kijkt ons aan, een meisje blijkt net vermoord te zijn ? of ligt ze te slapen? De kijker wordt automatisch getransformeerd in coregisseur en cre ert zijn eigen verhaal. De series van Robert Devriendt zijn als gebroken verhalen, waarbij de interpretatie van de toeschouwer centraal staat. Broken Stories biedt een overzicht van de carri re van Robert Devriendt, met de nadruk op zijn recente werk.

Ambiguity and contradiction are the twin hallmarks of the paintings, drawings and films of Micha l Borremans (b. 1963). He deploys his technical virtuosity to create apparently familiar scenes, which on closer inspection have an unsettling effect. He combines black humour, violence, absurdism and beauty to produce images that are strange and alienating, in which the subject seems to be situated in an undefined time and space. This catalogue provides an overview of Micha l Borremans' work since 2013. The majority of the works have never been published before. The book focuses on the different series of paintings he has exhibited over recent years: 'Black Mould', 'Fire From the Sun' and 'Coloured Cones'. Working in series is a recent development in Borremans' oeuvre. Micha l Borremans has staged solo exhibitions in a variety of venues, including Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, CAC M laga, Dallas Museum of Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, BOZAR in Brussels, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Cleveland Museum of Art, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, De Appel in Amsterdam and Parasol Unit in London.Overzicht van alle reeksen schilderijen van Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 De schilderijen, tekeningen en films van Micha l Borremans ( 1963) worden gekenmerkt door ambigu teit en contradictie. Hij cre ert met technische virtuositeit schijnbaar vertrouwde taferelen, die bij nader inzien een ontregelend effect hebben. Hij combineert zwarte humor, geweld, absurdisme en schoonheid met elkaar met vervreemdende beelden als resultaat, waarbij het onderwerp zich in een ongedefinieerde tijd en ruimte lijkt te bevinden. Deze catalogus biedt een overzicht van alle werken die Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 in reeksen heeft geconcipieerd. Het gaat hierbij om zeven verschillende series, onder meer Black Mould, Fire from the Sun? en Girl with Hands. De meeste van deze werken werden nooit eerder gepubliceerd. Het werken in reeksen is een recente ontwikkeling in het oeuvre van Borremans.

Ontdek hoe Vlaamse en Brabantse meesters Nederland groot hebben gemaakt De Nederlandse kunst van de zeventiende eeuw wordt wereldwijd geroemd, maar hoe 'Hollands' zijn deze schilderijen werkelijk? Aan de hand van ruim negentig topstukken van Vlaamse en Hollandse meesters laat dit boek zien dat de bloei van de zeventiende-eeuwse Hollandse schilderkunst er niet was geweest zonder het zestiende-eeuwse Antwerpen. Religieuze vluchtelingen die vanuit deze metropool naar het noorden trokken, speelden hierin de hoofdrol. De Val van Antwerpen in 1585 resulteerde namelijk in de massale uittocht van Antwerpenaren naar het noorden. Aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen en diepgaand onderzoek wordt kennisgemaakt met het verhaal van talentvolle en goed opgeleide kunstenaars en kooplieden die in het noorden godsdienstvrijheid en nieuwe handelsmogelijkheden zochten. Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam toont unieke werken van grote meesters als Joos van Cleve, Pieter Aertsen, Maerten de Vos, Frans Floris, Frans Hals, Peter Paul Rubens, Antoon van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, Jan Steen en Rembrandt van Rijn.

Tijdens de middeleeuwen ontwikkelt zich in Utrecht - toen het belangrijkste centrum van de Noordelijke Nederlanden - een bloeiende kunstproductie, met name die van de beeldhouwkunst. Niet alleen de aanwezigheid van kapitaalkrachtige geestelijken en een invloedrijke adel werken deze ontwikkeling in de hand, maar vooral ook de langdurige bouw van de imposante Domkerk. Talrijke beeldhouwers, onder wie Adriaen van Wesel en Jan van Schayck, werkten jarenlang mee aan het gigantische bouwproject dat rijkelijk voorzien moest worden van religieuze symbolen, friezen, grafzerken en memorietafels. De Utrechtse beeldhouwers bekwamen zich in het bewerken van steen zowel als hout, en bouwen gaandeweg een reputatie op die tot vandaag overeind blijft. De gellustreerde catalogus over dit middeleeuwse fenomeen verschijnt naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Catharijneconvent in Utrecht. De auteurs tonen met verve het cultuurhistorische belang aan van de Domstad voor de ontwikkeling van de middeleeuwse beeldhouwkunst in de Lage Landen en de Rijnstreek.

Summary This volume investigates the origins of one of the most important notions of contemporary society: privacy. Based on case studies from the early modern Low Countries, privacy is tackled from various historical perspectives: social and cultural history, and the history of art and architecture. The Dutch Republic is well known for its financial success, which went hand in hand with the development of a distinguished bourgeois culture and religious toleration. The accumulation of wealth among the urban population led to changes in various spheres, from daily life to art. Privacy, as a concept, started to develop in this period. Indeed, new ideas about housing with the invention of corridors, separate rooms that could be locked, and the separation of the 'common' and the 'private' space, all illustrate the growing importance of privacy in this geographical area. This volume traces perspectives on early modern privacy and private life based on primary sources in several domains: letters, diaries, and poems; genre painting in art; communal life as illustrated by the Jewish community; and finally, the homes of the Dutch elite. The essays in this volume make a key contribution to the emergence of early modern privacy studies as a research field, and to the ongoing discussion of privacy in the Low Countries. Equally, these case studies can serve as models for the analysis of privacy in other European contexts. TABLE OF CONTENTS The Low Countries, Private Life, and Privacy ?
