‎MEDIEVAL LIFE AND LEISURE IN THE DEVONSHIRE HUNTING TAPESTRIES,‎

‎London, , V&A Publications, , 2002 softcover, colour frontispice, 250 x 305mm., 116pp., full colour illustration.‎

‎The four magnificent Devonshire Tapestries housed at the V&A are the only great fifteenth century tapestries to survive the ravages of time. This book is a celebration of them and offers a unique insight the world of the late Middle Ages in rich and fascinating detail. Hunting was a favourite pursuit of princes and noblemen in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. The elaborate rituals of the hunt were an integral part of court life, but not just as a sport ?? the meat and game provided were vital ingredients of household fare. The tapestries provide a vivid picture of the hunt in all its forms ?? falconry, hunting for otter, bear, deer, robbing a swans nest for eggs ?? and are packed with detail. In addition the tapestries are a vital source of information about Medieval dress and fashion. We can learn what textiles and patterns were in favour, what styles and shapes of head-dresses, collars, belts and gowns were fashionable and how clothes were worn and by whom. These beautiful works of art are an unrivalled repository of costume and textile history. Illustrated in full colour with pull out plates showing the complete tapestries in all their glory, this book is a long overdue celebration of these unique works of textile art. New book. ‎

‎Conversing with the Saints Communication in Pre-Carolingian Hagiography from Auxerre‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2006 Hardcover. X 230 p., 2 b/w tables, 1 b/w line art, 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503517605.‎

‎Early medieval hagiographical texts abound with vivid descriptions of acts of communication. Such descriptions in the hagiography written in the diocese of Auxerre during the Merovingian period are studied here in an attempt to establish the status of the written word vis-a-vis other means of communication, such as the spoken word or rituals. For this purpose the dating of each source is reconsidered. The texts were written within the clerical community of Auxerre and most relate in some way to Germanus, the most renowned bishop of Auxerre (first half of the fifth century). Although the Vita Germani by Constantius was not written in Auxerre nor for an Auxerrois audience, it is included in the analysis, since it has exerted a profound influence on the later hagiographical narratives produced in the diocese. This study demonstrates that the authors of these texts were very much aware of the limitations of the written word as well as of the advantages and importance of non-written communication.‎

‎ 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. ‎

The papers were issued at the same time in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie"".""The conclusions which you have drawn from the investigation of bitter-almond oil,"" wrote Berzelius to Liebig and Wöhler, ""are certainly the most importent which have so far been reached in the domain of vegetable chemistry, and give promise of shedding an unexpected light over this part of the science...The facts which you have set forth inspire such reflections that they may be regarded as the dawn of a new day in vegetable chemistry.""(Berzelius-Wöhler Briefwechsel).""During the years that Liebig was preoccupied with the ether theory and with organic acids, he also carried out two importent investigations with Wöhler. 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. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance ""emulsion"".

‎First appearance in French of this milestone paper, marking the beginnings of organic chemistry, in which Wöhler describes how he managed to synthezise urea from cyanate of ammonia.

""This was the first synthesis of an organic compound, and this accomplishment is generally regarded as the beginning of organic chemistry.""(Sparrow ""Milestones of Science"", p.37).

‎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. ‎
