‎History of the Physiologus in Early Medieval England‎

‎Summary The Physiologus is the ancestor of the bestiary, a collection of chapters describing animal qualities and behaviours, usually with an allegorical meaning, which proliferated especially in England in the late Middle Ages. While much scholarly attention has been directed to the bestiary, the history of the transmission of the Physiologus has hardly been investigated. Evidence of the circulation of this treatise in the early medieval period is certainly scanty, since only two brief versions dating from this period have been preserved, one in Old English and another one in Latin. However, this monograph shows further proof of the knowledge of the Physiologus in Anglo-Saxon England. It also reveals the relationship of the only two surviving texts and their connection to the main Continental recension of the time. This study therefore demonstrates that the popularity of bestiaries in the later Middle Ages was largely due to the prominence that its predecessor, the Physiologus, enjoyed in the preceding period.

‎FIRED BY PASSION : Viennese Baroque Porcelain of Claudius Innocentius du Paquier ( German)‎

‎, Arnoldsche, 2009 Hardcover, 1432 pages / seiten , Deutsch, 350 x 260 x 120 mm, 3 Teile im stabilen Koffer, Illustrationen in sch nes Farben, **wie Neu !!. ISBN 9783897903081.‎

‎Du Paquier, an independently operating Viennese porcelain factory, was established in 1718, only eight years after Meissen. Although its heyday was brief, lasting only twenty-five years, Du Paquier produced porcelain of great beauty, notable for an enchantingly graceful style and consummate sophistication of execution. In three sumptuously illustrated volumes, scholars of international standing present the distinctive style and the exciting history of Du Paquier porcelain in the context of Baroque Vienna. The first comprehensive publication on this important porcelain factory, this work has been made possible through a five-year research programme conducted by the Melinda and Paul Sullivan Foundation for the Decorative Arts. The objects shown, many of them for the first time here, are in major public and private collections. The first volume deals with the historical and stylistic background of Du Paquier porcelain: art and architecture in early eighteenth-century Baroque Vienna; furthermore, the history of the porcelain factory, its style and its manifold sources of inspiration as well as Du Paquier?s relationship to Meissen and the role played at Du Paquier by independent porcelain painters and decorators (Hausmaler). The second volume places this Viennese porcelain in its cultural context, providing broad-ranging information on court banquet ceremony as well as private pleasures such as drinking and festive dining. Objects used in aristocratic circles are shown along with choice presents of state made to the Ottoman and Russian courts. In addition, this volume contains a new study on the Dubsky Room, the only room still in existence devoted to Du Paquier porcelain. The contents of the third volume include an annotated catalogue comprising approx. 500 objects, scholarly analysis and a chapter on the history of collecting Du Paquier porcelain, an inventory of the Dubsky Room, a bilingual glossary of terms and a complete bibliography. An enclosed CD-ROM contains transcriptions of original documents that have played an important role in the history of the Du Paquier porcelain factory. The arts in Baroque Vienna represent the cultural background for the magnificent Du Paquier porcelain. These lavishly designed books provide a comprehensive introduction to this courtly society and the distinctive porcelain made by Du Paquier. Essays by distinguished scholars in the field make this publication a standard work, not only for specialists but also for collectors and connoisseurs of porcelain as well as anyone interested in the Baroque era.‎

‎Reimagining the Ballet des Porcelaines. A Tale of Magic, Desire, and Exotic Entanglement‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 168 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:84 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554812.‎

‎Summary In September 1739 at the ch teau de Morville near Paris, a group of elite amateur artists staged a ballet pantomime known as the ?Ballet des Porcelaines,? and sometimes also as ?The Teapot Prince.? Written by the comte de Caylus, with music by Grandval, it tells the story of a prince who searches for his beloved on a faraway island ruled by an evil magician. The magician has turned the island's inhabitants into porcelain, an event the audience witnesses in the form of a male and female singer who spin around on stage until they transform into vases. Aside from the libretto and the score, nothing survives of the Ballet des Porcelaines. The costumes and choreography are unknown. Although it inspired later famous ballets featuring sleeping beauties and porcelain princesses, it seems to have been staged only twice: first in 1739 and again two years later on the grounds of the estate, next to a lake encircled by vases and an illuminated arch suggesting a nighttime performance. The ch teau's owner served as France's foreign minister and promoted trade with Asia. We can assume some kind of chinoiserie imagery and context for the ballet, which can be interpreted both as a standard fairy tale love story and as an allegory for the intense European desire to know and steal the secrets of porcelain manufacture. The ballet is an example of the deep intertwining of visual and performing arts in eighteenth-century France, and to an enchantment with Asia embodied on stage and in life by porcelain goods. The plot's animation of porcelain also relates to a period understanding of the permeable boundary between persons and things manifested in a variety of cultural forms. The ballet exemplifies the profound sense of magic, mystery, and desire that porcelain instilled in European viewers (who referred to it as ?white gold?), an effect that is lost on many museumgoers today.

‎Coins and Money in the Middle Ages. Studies in Honor of Alan Stahl‎

‎, Brepols - American Numismatic Society, 2026 Hardback, Pages: viii + 406, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:157 b/w, 21 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9780897224406.‎

‎Summary Alan Stahl's distinguished career in numismatics has ranged over numerous topics in the study of coins, monetary history, and medallic art, from antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the modern era. This volume brings together cutting-edge scholarship from three overlapping groups of scholars to honor him: former students from the American Numismatic Society Graduate Summer Seminar whom Stahl taught during the 1980s and 1990s, colleagues and former students at Princeton University where he has taught since 2005, and collaborators in the Framing the Late Antique and Early Medieval Economy research project he has directed since 2014. The broad scope of the articles reveals how widely Stahl has influenced numismatics and numismatists over the last five decades, through his research, teaching, and training of generations of students. Some articles focus on specific aspects of coinage, but far more show how thinking with coins, as a medium, transforms how scholars write the histories of the monetary world, economic life, and social relations. Like Stahl himself, the volume's contributors go beyond technical numismatic details and place coins and money in a broader framework that helps transform our understanding of how people lived in the premodern world.
