‎First appearance of the announcement of Wurtz's outstanding discovery of Liebig’s prediction, that there might be organic compounds analogous to ammonia and derivable from it by the replacement of hydrogen - the amines. The entire memoir was not published in full until 1855 in 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique'.Wurtz is most noted for his investigation of glycols and for his discovery of the amines. The latter discovery in 1849 (the paper offered) was very significant at the time, for ot suggested the possibility of a new type, the ammonia type, which helped to explain the behaviour of nitrogenous compounds.

‎ Studia Paedagogica : 13. The Ferdinand Verbiest Foundation directs the Cultural Centre of the China-Europe Institute at the Catholic University of Louvain (K.U. Leuven, Belgium). The purpose of the Institute is to promote cultural exchange between East and West, particulary between China and Europe. It wishes to contribute to a better appreciation of Chinese culture by people in the West and of European culture by people in the East. The Foundation found it meaningful to sponsor the Bangkok International Conference on "Education and Culture in Industrializing Asia" because its topic touches upon the key problem of cultural development today in the East as well as in the West. In both East and West we are confronted with the problem of how to catch up with the times without losing our own cultural identity: how to know and appreciate the cultures of foreign countries with which we enter into contact and yet remain ourselves. ‎

In october 1836 Wöhler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis, by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid, and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds, in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar...Wöhler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and Wöhler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin.

‎Bereits zu Lebzeiten war James Ensor (1860-1949) - neben Vincent van Gogh und Edvard Munch der Avantgardist des Nordens und Vorlaufer der deutschen Expressionisten und franzosischen Surrealisten - eine Legende. Beruhmtheit erlangte er als ? Maler der Masken? , der skurrilen Stillleben und grotesk-karnevalesken Szenen in der Tradition der flamischen Totentanze, in denen er grell leuchtende Farben miteinander kontrastierte. Dass Ensor daruber hinaus ein ausgesprochener Stilpluralist war, der unterschiedliche Themen und Motive immer wieder aufgriff und variierte, lasst ihn noch heute uberraschend modern erscheinen. Wie vielfaltig das OEuvre des belgischen Malers ist, lasst sich nun anhand des durchgangig farbig und opulent bebilderten Werkverzeichnisses der Gemalde entdecken. Eine umfassende, illustrierte Chronologie bietet zusatzlich detaillierte Informationen zu Leben und Werk. ‎

‎Jan Rombouts. The Discovery of an Early Sixteenth-Century Master in Louvain. ‎

‎, brepols, 2011 Hardback with dusjacket, 312 p., 237 b/w ill. 48 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm, Languages: English. new, fine condition !. ISBN 9782503525693.‎

‎This monograph introduces the sixteenth-century Louvain artist Jan Rombouts (c. 1480 ? 1535), whose oeuvre was previously assigned to Jan van Rillaer. Debates concerning Rombouts?s identity are explored in detail by means of reinterpretation of published archival documents and the discovery of numerous new documents. The publication of the sources, most with full transcriptions, provides a sound basis for the author?s arguments supporting the new identification.The remaining oeuvre of the artist, as it is known today, comprises engravings and paintings. This monograph argues for the expansion of Rombouts?s oeuvre with some dozen stained-glass windows, roundels and a drawn design for a church window, while suggestions are put forth for other possible attributions. Attention is given to the historical context for Rombouts?s activity as a glass painter, and the attributions of these works, none of which are monogrammed, are made by comparing their style with that of works securely attributed to the artist. This section is backed up by numerous illustrations of the windows, many of which are quite inaccessible. Finally, a discussion of archival sources concerning the Louvain confraternity of St Luke and commissions for works of art to local artists in the period covered by the book, form the rich historical background against which Jan Rombouts executed his oeuvre of engravings, paintings, roundels and stained-glass windows. The size, individuality, diversity and craftsmanship of this oeuvre enable us to finally identify and place him securely within the history of south Netherlandish art of his time. ‎

‎Latinity and Alterity in the Early Modern Period,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Hardback, VIII+304 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503533759.‎

‎This volume presents essays on early modern Latinity, which examine both humanist Latin and Latinists' responses to Otherness of various kinds. The essays in this volume, many of which are in dialogue with Francoise Waquet's Latin or the Empire of a Sign, showcase some of the most exciting and sophisticated new work in the field of neo-Latin studies. They illustrate the significance of 'Latinity' for understanding the early modern world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and will be of interest not only to neo-Latinists but to students of the modern European vernaculars, social historians of language, lexicographers, intellectual and scientific historians, and to cultural and cross-cultural historians. Under the second term of the title, 'Alterity', our volume explores humanist Latin's 'opposition' to mediaeval Latin and the modern vernaculars; the 'otherness' of women's Latinity; the construction of the non-European in Latin humanism; and the Latin writings of non-Europeans, from indigenous Americans to Africans. The exploration of these themes helps us more fully to understand what Latin 'really meant' during the early modern period. New.‎
