‎First edition of von Troil’s seminal work on Iceland's geology, flora, fauna, climate, and geography, contributing to the broader scientific understanding of the region during the 18th century. Von Troil's writings about his travels in Iceland helped popularize the island as a destination for European travelers and intellectuals. His account was influential in shaping perceptions of Iceland in the broader European consciousness. “One aim of the Enlightenment period was “to observe everything” on a journey, and Uno von Troil was one of many young scholars who followed these ideas. He seems to have had a general interest in natural history, humanitarian matters and local traditions as well as specialist knowledge in languages, history, philosophy and theology. His initial period abroad – 1770 to 1772 – included visits and regular attendance on lectures at several universities as well as network-building with learned men, particularly in Göttingen. At the arrival in France, he came in contact with the Enlightenment philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and Denis Diderot (1713-1784) among others in Paris. The glimpse into the world of these well-known men – more than thirty years his senior – may have influenced him in many ways. To have met Diderot for instance, at the time for his ongoing editing of the Encyclopédie must have been an inspiration for a young man like von Troil, who in the coming year got the possibility to amass facts from a wide range of subjects on the Iceland journey – including weaving, local clothes as well as trade in wool and eiderdown. In the smaller format, it almost became like an encyclopaedia of Icelandic traditions. It is noticeable too, that von Troil had no prior knowledge of the planned Iceland journey when arriving in London 1772, for the reason that Joseph Banks (1743-1820) had changed his travelling arrangements in short notice. James Cook (1728-1779) actually departed without him and found other botanists to explore the flora and fauna on his second voyage, which set sail in July 1772 – that is to say in the same month as the Iceland journey. Uno von Troil came to accompany the twelve-man crew – primarily invited due to his interest in the Icelandic language – on an expedition led by the naturalist Joseph Banks.” (Linda Hall Library) The present work was shortly after publication translated into several other languages: German (1779) English (Letters on Iceland, 1780-83) French (1781) and Dutch (1784).

‎Dante Gabriel Rossetti was onmiskenbaar een van de meest opwindende kunstenaars van de prerafaelieten, de kunstenaarsgroep die in de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw met een terugkeer naar de middeleeuwse traditie de oprechte eenvoud en bezieling wilde laten terugkeren in de kunst. Rossetti gaf aan dit uitgangspunt vanaf 1860 een geheel eigen invulling in de voor hem zo karakteristieke vrouwenportretten, geinspireerd op vroeg Italiaanse Renaissance portretten. Het zijn roodharige femmes fatales in een omgeving vol verborgen symboliek; aantrekkelijk maar tegelijk afstandelijk. Tijdens zijn leven waren Rossetti's schilderijen bijna alleen in particuliere collecties te vinden en nauwelijks te zien voor het publiek. De intrigerende verhalen die de ronde deden over zijn liefdesaffaires en zijn bohemienachtig bestaan, droegen bij aan de mythevorming. Wie was Rossetti en hoe moet zijn kunst begrepen worden? Deze publicatie geeft een volledig overzicht van Rossetti's kunst: de middeleeuwse onderwerpen, de karakteristieke vrouwenportretten, zijn inspiratiebronnen zoals Elizabeth Siddal en de symbolische gelaagdheid ervan. Ook wordt de acceptatie en appreciatie van zijn werk beschreven. De uitgebreide catalogus biedt een compleet overzicht van de belangrijkste Rossetti-werken, en plaatst de schilderijen in hun tijd en context. Boek is in nieuwstaat.‎

‎Company She Keeps. The Medieval Swedish Cult of St. Katherine of Alexandria and Its Transformations,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, XXII+276 p., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN 9782503533780.‎

‎This volume offers an interdisciplinary collection of original essays by both new and established scholars that surveys the complex relationships between law and sovereign power in medieval and early modern Europe. Sovereignty, law, and the relationship between them are now among the most compelling topics in history, philosophy, literature and art. Some argue that the state's power over the individual has never been more complete, while for others, such factors as globalization and the internet are subverting traditional political forms. This book exposes the roots of these arguments in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The thirteen contributions investigate theories, fictions, contestations, and applications of sovereignty and law from the Anglo-Saxon period to the seventeenth century, and from England across western Europe to Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Particular topics include: Habsburg sovereignty, Romance traditions in Arthurian literature, the duomo in Milan, the political theories of Juan de Mariana and of Richard Hooker, Geoffrey Chaucer's legal problems, the accession of James I, medieval Jewish women, Elizabethan diplomacy, Anglo-Saxon political subjectivity, and medieval French farce. Together these contributions constitute a valuable overview of the history of medieval and Renaissance law and sovereignty in several disciplines. They will appeal to not only to political historians, but also to all those interested in the histories of art, literature, religion, and culture. Robert Sturges is Professor of English at Arizona State University, where he teaches late medieval literature and literary theory. New.‎

‎First appearance of Tschirnhaus's three exceedingly important papers which were to to initiate one of the most famous mathematical discoveries. In the papers he used infinitisimal methods which were very close to Leibniz's method and where he tried to lay down criteria for rational quadratures in the case of conic, cubic and quadratic curves, papers that led Leibniz to publish his first paper on the differential calculus, the ""Nova Methoda"" in the Acta for 1684 in order to secure his priority over Tschirnhaus concerning the calculus. Leibniz discovered, when he read Tschirnhaus' papers, that Tschirnhaus had here published results showing similarity with Leibniz's invention of the calculus as he had confided to Tschirnhaus earlier, during their Parisian stay, and this without references to Leibniz.The present volume of Acta also contain the first edition of Tschirnhaus' ""Tschirnhaus Tranformation"". Tschirnhaus work intensively on finding a general method for solving equations of higher of higher degree. ""His transformations constituted the most promising contribution to the solution of equations during the seventeenth century" but his elimination of the second and third coefficients by means of such transformation was far from adequate for the solution of the quintic.(Boyer. A History of Mathematics, 1968, 472 p.).Tschirnhaus (1651-1708) , a Saxon nobleman, had as wide interest as acquaintances: He studied in Leyden, served in the Dutch army, visited England and Paris several times. He set up a glassworks in Italy and is said to have introduced Porcelain to Europe. He wrote about philosophy and mathematics and was a close friend of Leibniz.‎

This is the most general transformation of an irreducible polynomial that takes a root to some rational function applied to that root.""(Wikipedia).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs 1683 M.‎
