‎Writing Holiness. Genre and Reception across Medieval Hagiography‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 281 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601984.‎

‎Summary Writing Holiness contributes to exciting new critical conversations in the study of medieval hagiography in Western Christianity. Recent years have seen innovative approaches to the literatures of sanctity through emergent theoretical discourses, such as disability studies and trans theory. At the same time, traditional methodologies such as manuscript studies and reception history continue to generate new perspectives on the production, circulation, and reception of the sacred textual canon. Through ten unique contributions that draw from both new and established theories and methodologies, this volume charts the development, movement, and reception of Christian hagiographic texts in localities ranging from the Iberian Peninsula to the Scandinavian Archipelago from the early to the late Middle Ages. Each chapter traces hagiographic development over generic, temporal, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, and considers the broader contours of the sacred imaginary that come into view as a result of such critically intersectional inquiry.

‎In the Shadow of Death. Saint Boniface and the Conversion of Hessia, 721?54,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Hardback, XX 487 p., 41 b/w ill., 9 b/w tables, 21 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503531618.‎

‎In the year 721 the Anglo-Saxon missionary St Boniface came with his followers to Hessia, a small but turbulent province on the borders of the expanding Frankish kingdom. This book is the first dedicated interdisciplinary study of Boniface?s thirty-three-year mission among the Hessians. The author relates the historical sources to the rich archaeological heritage of the region in order to describe the political and cultural context of the mission and its relationship to long-term Frankish interests in the Saxon borderlands. Thanks to the survival of many letters between the missionary community and its supporters, it is also possible to examine a symbolic literary discourse that portrayed the missionaries as heroic exiles who chose to suffer torments in a distant land for the sake of Christ. Finally, fresh evidence drawn from topography and place names is used to argue for the existence of an expansive pre-Christian sacred landscape that was one of the major obstacles faced by Boniface and his followers. The result is an innovative study that brings history and archaeology into communication with the landscape, both real and imagined, in order to reconstruct a crucial moment in the conversion of Europe in all its complexity, ambiguity, and drama. An award-winning interdisciplinary study of the Anglo-Saxon mission of St Boniface to Hessia in the eighth century. Cultural Encounters in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (CELAMA 11).

‎Excavations at Al Sufouh: A Third Millennium Site in the Emirate of Dubai,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1996 Paperback, 245 p., 272 bl/w ill., 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503505039.‎

‎Since the discovery of prehistoric tombs on the island of Umm an-Nar in the 1950's, funerary monuments and mortuary rites of the ancient population of the Oman peninsula have been foci of archaeological research in the region. Literally hundreds of tombs have been excavated over the past four decades, but the fact that many of these had already been looted in antiquity and/or re-used often led excavators to adopt a slipshod approach to their recording. In 1995 an extraordinary tomb in Dubai was excavated with great care by a teamfrom the University of Sydney, setting new standards for the recording of grave goods and human skeletal remains. The discovery of bone pits outside the main structure which contained cremated remains raises a whole series of questions about the nature of the third millennium mortuary rites and the origins of the practice of cremation in the Arabian peninsula. Excavations at Al Sufouh is certain to be of great interest to archaeologists, biological anthropologists and historians concerned with the prehistoric population of the area known in Mesopotamian cuneiform sources as Magan. The interaction between that population and its Iranian and Harappan neighbours is explored in this detailed study. New. ‎

‎PIET LEPPENS, FOTOGRAAF Onder het plaveisel, het licht ‎

‎, ASP, 2023 paperback, 184 Pagina's, afbeeldingen, . ISBN 9789461174932.‎

‎Piet Leppens (1952-2016) is een Belgische fotograaf die bekend staat om zijn intense en persoonlijke benadering van autonome fotografie. Leppens? werk richt zich op de menselijke conditie en de complexe emoties die onze levens bepalen. Zijn foto?s zijn vaak rauw, ongepolijst, en tonen de kwetsbaarheid en intimiteit van zijn onderwerpen. Hij heeft een voorliefde voor het vastleggen van mensen in de marge van de samenleving, zoals daklozen, caf gangers, transseksuelen en prostituees, maar ook gewone mensen in alledaagse situaties. Leppens? oeuvre is een weerspiegeling van zijn eigen leven, een reis vol ups en downs, waarin hij zijn eigen innerlijke demonen heeft overwonnen en zich bevrijd heeft van de restricties van de samenleving in zijn zoektocht naar menselijke verbondenheid. In Piet Leppens, fotograaf. Onder het plaveisel, het licht wordt voor het eerst door kunstexpert Johan Swinnen een selectie van zijn fotowerk gebundeld en aan de buitenwereld getoond. Het werk van Leppens is een testament van de kracht van de fotografie om verhalen te vertellen, grenzen te verleggen en de wereld te veranderen. Dit is een must-read voor iedereen die ge nteresseerd is in fotografie, kunst en het menselijk bestaan. ‎

A l'instar des textes dont l'on disposait alors sur la Russie, il s'agit d'une relation du XVIIe, due à un ingénieur anglais qui fut employé en Russie durant de nombreuses années ; les parties proprement historiques ont été mises à jour. "This ingenious officer and mechanic was engaged by the Russian Ambassador, at a salary of 300 pounds a year, to superintend in paticular a communication then making between the Volga and the Don. In an introduction to his work Perry gives an account of the many disappointments he experienced during fourteen years of residence in Russia, which he was finally forced to quit without receiving his expected renumeration. Of the country itself, and of the various plans of the Czar for its improvement, a pleasing account is given" (Cox). Remise de 20% pour toutes commandes supérieures à 200 €‎
