‎Summary The two books of Scriptor, Cantor & Notator present an innovative multi-author project dealing with the complex interconnections between learning, writing and performing chant in the Middle Ages. A number of different methodological approaches have been employed, with the aim of beginning to understand the phenomenon of chant transmission over a large geographical area, linking and contrasting modern definitions of East and West. Thus, in spite of this wide geographical spread, and the consequent variety of rites, languages and musical styles involved, the common thread of parallels and similarities between various chant repertoires arising from the need to fix oral repertories in a written form, and the challenges involved in so doing, are what bring this wide variety of repertoires and approaches together. This multi-centric multi-disciplinary approach will encourage scholars working in these areas to consider their work as part of a much larger geographical and historical picture, and thus reveal to reader and listener more, and far richer, patterns of connections and developments than might otherwise have been suspected.? The Materiality of Sound in Chant Manuscripts in the East brings together articles on ancient Greek, Byzantine, Coptic and Armenian music scripts in the East. Together with the collection of essays published in The Materiality of Sound in Chant Manuscripts in the West, these books discuss local scribal peculiarities and idiosyncrasies beyond the cultural and geographical contexts of production and uses of their manuscript sources.?

‎, Uitgeverij P, 2021 Hardcover, 69 pagina's, 29 x 21.5 cm, illustraties van Els Vos. NL. *Nieuw. ISBN 9789493138629.‎

‎Wat is er van de nacht? is een versregel die dichter Richard Foqu ontleende aan het oudtestamentische boek Jesaja, waarin het volk aan de profeet Jesaja vraagt hoelang de wereld nog in duisternis gehuld zal blijven. In wezen gaat het om de fundamenteel-existenti le vraag, waarin ? zoals in Shakespeare?s Hamlet ? de opkomende wachter die vraag stelt aan de dienstdoende en als antwoord krijgt: ?Sta en zeg het zelf.? Dit episch gelaagd en contrapuntisch gedicht dat het individu confronteert met zijn bestaansverantwoordelijkheid, werd in 21 unieke kleuretsen ge llumineerd door kunstenares Els Vos. Tekst en beeld versterken elkaar zo in een sublieme multimediale ervaring die de lezer zonder twijfel lang zal bijblijven.‎

‎Des Balkans aux iles britanniques, les Celtes ont etendu leur civilisation sur l'Europe entiere. Si ses premieres traces se decelent pres d'un demi millenaire plus tot, c'est du Ve siecle au Ier siecle avant notre ere qu'elle connaitra son apogee. A l'origine, ce sont des peuples diriges par des princes audacieux de Suisse, de Bourgogne, d'Allemagne, amoureux d'or, de vin et de conquetes, qui vont chercher leurs richesses chez leurs adversaires ; ils lancent ensuite des attaques jusqu'en Italie ou en Grece ; les Romains se souviendront longtemps du sac de Rome en 386 avant notre ere. Apres une breve periode, ou ils se sont stabilises dans le bassin parisien, en Rhenanie ou en Boheme, ils repartent jusqu'aux Balkans, ou a Delphes, et vers le Nord, jusqu'aux iles britanniques. Aux IIe et Ier siecles, leur territoire ne fera que se reduire, sous la pression des armees romaines. Vercingetorix en sera l'un des derniers symboles en Gaule. C'est en Irlande que leur culture survivra le plus longtemps, en alimentant le christianisme naissant de ses formes et de ses traditions. Pendant pres d'un millenaire, les Celtes se reveleront comme d'immenses artistes, maniant le fer, l'or et tous les metaux comme aucun autre peuple de l'epoque. Depuis maintenant deux siecles, on retrouve leurs tresors grace a d'incessantes fouilles et etudes. Conservateur et organisatrice de plusieurs expositions consacrees aux Celtes, Christiane Eluere fait revivre cette epopee de maniere vivante et fracassante. Livre est comme bon etat. ‎

‎Business of Pleasure A History of Paid Sex in the Heart of Europe.‎

‎, UPL - KU Leuven, 2024 Paperback, 182 pages, 23.4 x15.6cm. 16 illustrations, black & white. ISBN 9789462704107.‎

‎In 2022, the Belgian parliament made a landmark decision by approving the decriminalisation of sex work. This move positioned the small nation as the first country in Europe ? and the second globally ? to abandon the hypocrisy of tolerance. But this was not the first time paid sex in Belgium gained international notoriety. The medieval bathhouses and ?frows of Flanders? were well-known throughout Europe. In the nineteenth century, Belgium faced international outrage as the alleged epicentre of white slavery. Yet while Belgians were accused of forcing white women into prostitution, they were left alone when it came to the inclusion of any suspect woman in the prostitution registers of colonial Congo. Throughout the First and Second World Wars, both allied and German soldiers sought relief in Belgian brothels. The Business of Pleasure presents the compelling life stories of sex workers and their interactions with authorities, clients and pimps. Transcending stereotypes, this history of commercial sex offers a nuanced understanding of the difficulties and opportunities associated with paid sex for women, men and trans persons past and present. Elwin Hofman is a cultural historian and writer. He teaches at Utrecht University and has (co)authored several books on cultural history, including a history of homosexuality in Belgium. Magaly Rodr guez Garc a is an authority on the history of international labour organisations and subaltern history. She is a professor at KU Leuven and collaborates with Belgian and foreign colleagues on projects regarding, inter alia, sex work and prostitution policy at the local, national and supranational levels. In the context of oral history projects, she became closely involved with advocacy groups for vulnerable persons such as sex workers and homeless people. Pieter Vanhees is a social historian and has researched the history of prostitution in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries at KU Leuven. ‎

‎New French Couture: Icons of Paris Fashion‎

‎, Harper, 2016 Hardcover, 280 pages, 10.63 x 1.18 x 12.6 inches, English text. New . ISBN 9780062215994.‎

‎With more than 175 color high-fashion photographs, this stunning, comprehensive, and authoritative handbook on modern French couture, covering the finest Parisian houses of couture?including Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, and more?and the creative directors who are redefining their legacies for the twenty-first century. While trends emerge from New York, London, and Tokyo, the fashion capital of the world remains the City of Light. From Coco Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Dior to Raf Simons, Hubert de Givenchy to Riccardo Tisci, the evolutionary arc of French fashion and its most revered houses grows richer with each season and with a continuous infusion of imaginative new talent. The New French Couture identifies the fashion leaders whose longstanding ateliers have endured, and the creative pioneers who continue to reinvent and reinterpret their signature iconography, including Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Raf Simons at Christian Dior, Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, Alber Elbaz at Lanvin, Alexander Wang at Balenciaga, and Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent. Though haute couture remains the exclusive domain of a few houses, the Parisian fashion panorama is rife with gifted luxury establishments who specialize in hand-craftsmanship, exquisite design, precious materials, impeccable production, and a celebrity clientele. The New French Couture provides a dazzling tour through the advertising, editorial, runway, and behind-the-scenes lives of these exclusive ateliers, revealing the evolution of each brand, their definitive looks, and fashion ?moments.? Here, too, are profiles of those who have made Paris their home, reimagining contemporary French luxury more independently of the fashion conglomerates, such as Hussein Chalayan, Jean Paul Gaultier, Azzedine Ala a, and Phoebe Philo for C line. Breathtaking in scope and vision, beautiful, sophisticated, and informative, The New French Couture provides a comprehensive glimpse at the breadth of the Paris?s impressive and abiding fashion authority.‎

‎John Dunstaple Reading Boethius. John Dunstaple's Annotations to Boethius's De institutione musica in the Manuscript Oxford, Corpus Christi College Library, MS 118‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Paperback, Pages: 240, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 50 col., 10 tables b/w., 2 tables col., 17 examples in colour, Language: English. ISBN 9782503624884.‎

‎Summary European theory of music up to ca.1550, in many respects, presents a history of the reception of Boethius's treatise De institutione musica (before 510). The annotations introduced to this treatise by John Dunstaple (d. 1453), eminent composer of the late Middle Ages, add to our knowledge of the English chapter of this history. The volume is composed of two parts. The first part includes the edition of Dunstaple's annotations paralleled with relevant parts of Boethius text and provided with the introduction comprising a detailed information on manuscript Oxford, Corpus Christi College 118 and the study of Dunstaple's hand. In the second part of the book, the selected glosses which have the strongest interpretive potential are translated and examined in a large context of music theory of Middle Ages. They present Dunstaple as a careful and competent reader of Boethius's arguments and a composer well-read in music theory current in his time.

‎Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens, who was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit, worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. For Ruben's age, as for the ancient Romans, history was valued for the lessons it taught. Rubens was deeply interested in history, particularly the works of the ancient writers like Ovid, Plutarch and Juvenal, which were full of exemplary figures. Yet unlike many Renaissance artists who merely sought texts they could illustrate, Rubens was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit - always with an eye for the visually striking aspect. He was thus uniquely qualified to respond to the requirements of particular commissions with exemplary themes like The Continence of Scipio, The Justice of Cambyses, The Devotion of Artemisia and The Courage of Cloelia. Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. Also included is a detailed analysis of the tapestry cartoons on the life of Romulus, now in the National Museum of Wales, relating the series to all relevant studies, paintings and tapestries.

‎Flesh, Gold and Wood. The Saint-Denis altarpiece in Li ge and the question of partial paint practices in the 16th Century Proceedings of the Conference Held at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in Brussels, 22-24 October 2015‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Softcover, 484 pages., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. Disponible en une seule version avec des articles en fran ais ou en anglais. * new. ISBN 9782930054407.‎

‎The impressive altarpiece in the church of Saint-Denis in Li ge is one of the most prestigious but also one of the most enigmatic witnesses to the rich Brabantine altarpiece production at the end of the Middle Ages. The interdisciplinary study carried out during its restoration at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) in Brussels between 2012 and 2014 allowed to resolve some of the questions involved and to propose new refreshing hypotheses. The attribution to the Borman, the most prestigious Brussels sculptor family, was refined, as was its dating in the early 1530s, when the vocabulary of Italian Renaissance began to invade the art of the Meuse banks simultaneously with the still well-anchored Gothic style. This volume provides a broad platform for the exceptional character of the partial polychromy of the altarpiece, highlighted by the investigation conducted at the KIK-IRPA. This research was nourished by many comparative reflections. The abundant and varied studies presented here, mainly originate from an international conference held in October 2015. In addition, the restoration at KIK-IRPA, between 2016 and 2019, of some of the painted panels that initially adorned the shutters of the altarpiece, also allowed a beneficial reconsideration of the participation of the great Li ge painter Lambert Lombard and some local workshop. Starting from an amazing work, they represent an important part of the artistic activity in Li ge revived by Prince-Bishop rard de La Marck.‎
