The Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Joshua. A Critical Edition (BL Royal 1 C III)
, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 208 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Languages: English, Middle English. ISBN 9782503591339.
Summary The Anglo-Norman Bible's Joshua includes tales of spies, giants, the prostitute Rahab, the punishment of Achan, oracles, and Joshua's brilliant military victories. Joshua stops the sun. The first half of the book relates Joshua's stunning conquests in Canaan. The second half, the apportionment of the land among the tribes, detailed geographical surveys of territorial boundaries, and the death of Joshua. Skilful, well-paced story telling is a feature of the ANB's Joshua. To the accounts of Rahab and Achan we may add the chronicle of Joshua's successful, crushing campaign in the wake of the destruction of Makkedah. In rapid succession, and in an annalistic style involving staccato repetition of key phrases, the narrator relates the destruction of Libnah, Lachish, Eglon, Hebron, and Debir. The text of the ANB's Joshua is extant in British Library Royal 1 C III (base manuscript, L) and Paris, Biblioth que nationale de France, MS fran ais 1 (P), both c. 1350 and both the Bibles of kings. L belonged at some point in the fifteenth century to Reading's Benedictine abbey, entering the royal library in 1530. Characteristic of L is its occasional insertion of short glosses in English or Latin to clarify or correct the Anglo-Norman text. An illustrated text, P was prepared by an English workshop for the fourth baron de Welles, John, and his wife, Maud, daughter of William, Lord Ros. This is clearly the Bible of a wealthy and well-connected English family. After the Welles family, the manuscript belonged to Louis de Bruges (? 1492), then to King Louis XII of France.

Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Judges. A Critical Edition (BL Royal 1 C III)

Summary A silver-tongued assassin, a motherly prophetess, a consecrated strongman unable to resist the charms of foreign women: the Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Judges features a roll-call of unlikely heroes. At the book's core is a cycle of saviour stories. Twelve times the Israelites embrace foreign gods, succumb to neighbouring enemies, repent and are delivered by a 'judge'. As Israel itself descends into ever-greater religious, moral and political decay, the narrative pattern also unravels. The book ends bleakly, with stories of rape, murder and civil war. The stage is set for a king. Gideon?a doubting Thomas who repeatedly 'tests' God?and Samson?lion-killer and lover of Delilah?were firm medieval favourites. Their tales and those of other flawed judges inspired heroic deeds on the battlefield and provided lessons on how to behave (and indeed how not to behave). With its remarkable heroines, moreover?from cut-throat Jael, who wields a tent-peg to devastating effect, to Jephthah's dignified daughter, sacrificed because of her father's rash vow?this is a book that prompted much reflection in the Middle Ages on the place of women in society. The Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Judges survives in two fourteenth-century manuscripts: British Library Royal MS 1 C III (L), noted for its multilingual glosses, and the richly illustrated Paris, Biblioth que nationale de France, fonds fran ais 1 (P). The critical text, based on L, has been prepared by Pitts. An introduction and notes by Grange aim to elucidate and interpret the Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Judges for the modern reader.

Anglo-Norman Bible's Books of Samuel. A Critical Edition (BL Royal 1 C III)
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 270 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605951.
Summary Tales of treachery and friendship, adultery and murder, rape and revenge, as well as prophecy, repentance, forgiveness and thanksgiving ? such is the stuff of the Anglo-Norman Bible's Books of Samuel. They recount the life of the last of Israel's judges but include some of the world's best-known characters ? Saul, David and Jonathan, Goliath, Bathsheba, and Absalom. The first book traces the life of Samuel, and the initial success of King Saul, chosen to satisfy the Israelites' demand for a king. After Saul loses God's favour, David enters his court to console him, but Saul envies David's success. When Saul dies in battle, David succeeds him. In book two, David consolidates control over his kingdom, but his adultery with Bathsheba precipitates the reverses of the final chapters. Historically, the Books of Samuel trace the creation of Israel's monarchy and explain its ultimate failure. Religiously, they relate Israel's continuing relationship with God and the establishment of Jerusalem as the religious and political capital of the new kingdom. Two mid-fourteenth-century manuscripts preserve the text of the Anglo-Norman Bible's Samuel. The base manuscript (L), British Library Royal 1 C III, notable for its inclusion of multi-lingual glosses, was acquired by Henry VIII from the Benedictine Abbey of Reading in 1530. The lavishly illustrated Paris, Biblioth que nationale de France, MS fran ais 1 (P), produced in England for the baronial de Welles family, later belonged to King Louis XII of France. Brent A. Pitts has prepared the critical edition and Maureen Boulton's introduction and notes elucidate the text and its interpretation by medieval commentators.

"BRILLOUIN, LÉON.- THE INDTRODUCTION OF THE ""WKB METHOD"" IN QUANTUM MECHANICS.
Reference : 47142
(1926)
La mécanique ondulatoire de Schrödinger"" une méthode générale de résolution par approximations successives.
Paris, Gauthier-Villars et Cie, 1926. 4to. Without wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 183, No 1. Pp. (5-) 100. (Entire issue offered). Brillouin's paper: pp. 24-26.
First appearance of Brillouin's importent paper in which he introduced the WKB-method in quantum Mechanics.""In 1925 Brillouin was the only French theoretician to react competently to Werner Heisenberg’s new matrix mechanics. In two papers published in 1926, he contributed to the exploration of the mathematical content of Heisenberg’s theory. Brillouin’s first contribution in this field was important (the paper offered). Through a new method of semiclassical approximation, he discovered the relation between Schrodinger’s mechanics and the quantum theory of Niels Bohr and Sommerfeld. Presumably inspired by de Broglie’s early analogies between mechanics and optics, he found this approximation as the quantum mechanical counte)t of the approximation. In this procedure, stationary solutions of the Schrödinger equation are sought in the form eiS/h (as in the eikonal approximation of optics). In the first approximation (h small), S must be a solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics, and the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions (S = 2pnh on a closed trajectory) must be satisfied for the W function to be defined and singlevalued in all space. Subsequent corrections are proportional to successive powers of h. They intermix the various Bohr trajectories. thereby reintroducing the complex interplay of quantum states found in matrix mechanics, This method, published by Brillouin in July 1926 - anticipated by Harold Jeffreys in 1923 in a purely mathematical context, reinvented by Gregor Wentzel in September 1926. and perfected by Hendrik Kramers in November 1926 - is now called the (J) BWK method and is widely used in many quantum mechanical problems.""(DSB).See also Max Jammer ""The Conceptual development of Quantum Mechanics"", pp. 277 ff.
billet dans tous ses Etats. Du premier papier-monnaie a l'euro,

Le 1er janvier 2002, douze pays europeens troquaient leur monnaie nationale contre la monnaie unique europeenne. Pour chaque pays membre de l'Euroland, c'etait clore un episode crucial de son histoire financiere et economique, pour adherer a un ensemble plus vaste. Dans l'etude richement illustree Le billet dans tous ses etats, les auteurs regardent a la loupe l'histoire et la signification du papier-monnaie en Europe. Le billet de banque est en quelque sorte le miroir de la societe qui l'a concu. Il est la synthese de la culture propre d'un peuple et la resultante d'une haute technicite. Les billets de banque des divers pays membres presentent une richesse insoupconnee, tant au niveau des sujets que des images, puises dans le patrimoine culturel: dirigeants politiques, gens celebres, evenements historiques. Quant a la presentation, elle denote d'une telle qualite artistique que certains sont de reels petits chefs-d'oeuvre. Nouveau.
HET BANKBILJET IN ALLE STATEN. VAN HET EERSTE PAPIERGELD TOT DE EURO,
, Mercatorfonds / Fonds Mercator, Hardcover met papieren band, 290 x 240mm., 176pp., 300 illustraties in kleur ISBN 9789061534877.
Op 1 januari 2002 ruilden twaalf Europese landen hun vertrouwde munt in tegen de Europese eenheidsmunt. Hiermee sloot elke lidstaat een belangrijke fase af in zijn financiele en economische evolutie: voortaan maken ze samen deel uit van een groter geheel. In deze rijk geillustreerde studie nemen de auteurs de geschiedenis en de betekenis van het papieren geld in Europa onder de loep. Het bankbiljet is als het ware een spiegel van de maatschappij waarin het werd geconcipieerd. In de bank-biljetten van de verschillende staten openbaart zich een onvermoede rijkdom van onderwerpen en beelden, geinspireerd door het culturele patrimonium, de politieke leiders, beroemde mensen en historische gebeurtenissen, en niet zelden zijn de biljetten artistieke pareltjes. Nieuw.
