Paul Klee (1879-1940) was een uitzonderlijk schilder, tekenaar, graficus, leraar en theoreticus die een beslissende invloed heeft gehad op de ontwikkeling van de kunst in de vorige eeuw. Vooral in zijn grafisch werk is goed te zien hoe zich van de traditie losmaakte en een van de grote vernieuwers van de moderne kunst werd. Deze portfolio werd voor het eerst in 1945 gepubliceerd door de uitgever & kunsthandelaar Curt Valentin en werd vervolgens, twee jaar later, heruitgegeven door het MoMa (New York). De publicatie bestond uit losse platen met facsimile afdrukken van veertig lithografieen en etsen van Paul Klee en was vergezeld van een brochure met een inleidende tekst van James Thrall Soby, Trustee van het MoMa en voormalig afdelingshoofd van het departement Sculptuur en Beeldhouwkunst. In 1947 maakten reeds dertig van de veertig gepubliceerde prenten deel uit van de grafische collectie van het museum. Voor deze nieuwe heruitgave (de derde) zijn alle veertig werken van Paul Klee opnieuw gefotografeerd en gedigitaliseerd - acht zijn in kleur. Speciaal voor deze editie heeft de huidige hoofdconservator van de afdeling Prints and Illustrated Books van het MoMa, Christophe Cherix, een nieuwe inleiding geschreven (Soby's essay werd eveneens behouden) en zijn alle onderschriften gecorrigeerd en vervolledigd. De facsimiles zijn gedrukt op 160 grams papier. Editie bestaat uit een brochure met teksten van Christophe Cherix en James Thrall Soby en 40 platen gedrukt op Magnani Pura Cellulosa 160 g, in een groen linnen doos met zwart lint. Oplage: 500 exemplaren originele prijs; 220.00 euro Paul Klee (1879-1940) was an exceptional painter, draftsman, printmaker, teacher and theorist who has had a decisive influence on the development of art in the last century. Especially in his graphic work is good to see how loosened itself from tradition and became one of the great innovators of modern art. This portfolio was first published in 1945 by the publisher and art dealer Curt Valentin and then, two years later, reissued by the MoMA (New York). The publication consisted of loose sheets with facsimile printing forty lithographs and etchings by Paul Klee and was accompanied by a booklet with an introduction by James Thrall Soby, Trustee of the MoMa and former head of the Department of Sculpture and Sculpture. In 1947 were already thirty of the forty published prints part of the graphic collection of the museum. For this new reissue (the third) are all forty works by Paul Klee re-photographed and digitized - eight are in color. For this special edition, the current chief curator of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at MoMA, Christophe Cherix written a new introduction (Soby's essay was also retained) and all captions corrected and completed. The reproductions are printed on 160 gram paper. Edition includes a booklet with texts by Christophe James Thrall Soby Cherix and 40 plates printed on Magnani Pura Cellulosa 160g, in a green linen box with black ribbon.

The transformation of the myriad of medieval kingdoms, principalities, local lordships, city-?states? and peasant ?republics? into ?modern? states, claiming some measure of sovereignty, remains one of the core themes of European history, because it gets down to the very root of the (idea on the) Europe we live in. Some 20 leading experts cast new light on various aspects of this process, such as political communication, foreign diplomacy, dynastic self-representation, political economy, national identities, and military resources. The articles are a tribute to the prominent medieval historian, Wim Blockmans, on the occasion of his retirement as professor of medieval history at Leiden University and rector of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) at Wassenaar.
, Brepols, 2010 The Quintessence of Lives Intellectual Biographies in the Low Countries presented to Jan Roegiers XXXVII 513 p., 160 x 245 mm, Languages: English,Paperback. ISBN 9782503532103.
What is the essence of a life? Which elements merit selection by a biographer? Which should be discreetly left out? To what extent can an intellectual?s thoughts and actions be captured in schemes and structures, without distorting or reducing the richness of a multifarious personality? These are the questions which underlie the contributions to the volume The Quintessence of Lives: Intellectual Biographies in the Low Countries presented to Jan Roegiers. More than twenty-five historians have written intellectual biographies of figures who created a ?second life? for themselves on paper. All persons discussed are firmly rooted in the intellectual life of the Low Countries and were active there between the sixteenth and the twentieth century. The volume is offered on the occasion of the retirement of Prof. Dr. Jan Roegiers as full professor at the K.U.Leuven. As head librarian and archivist, also in charge of the university?s art collections, Jan Roegiers played a pivotal role in collecting, preserving and making available the documentary and artistic inheritance of the University of Leuven. His main interest is in the intellectual and ecclesiastical history of the Low Countries in the Modern period, but his curiosity also made him venture far beyond the boundaries of the research group in which he was active as professor ordinarius. Whatever the topic, all his texts show how much he valued the craftmanship of historiography, his great consideration for the wider context which codetermines the acts and writings of committed intellectuals, and his relish for erudition. These same features are variously reflected in the biographical contributions in this volume. They illustrate how social and cultural trends in the surrounding environment affect the actual course of action chosen by individuals who helped shape the intellectual life of our region. Academically trained lay people and clerics, as well as academics from many disciplines are to be encountered here. The authors look at how they react to the Zeitgeist, how they often go against the current and leave their mark on a whole era; or how individuals who enjoyed the same education eventually go opposite ways and proclaim conflicting views. The book will be published in the series Bibliotheque de la Revue d?histoire ecclesiastique, in recognition of the important part Jan Roegiers has played these many years as director of this international academic journal, which has recently started a formal cooperation with Brepols Publishers. The contributions, mainly in English and French, but also in German and Dutch are written by Erik Aerts, Bruno Boute, Rob Brusten and friends, Luc Courtois, Pierre Delsaerdt, Jean-Pierre Delville, Wim Francois, Willem Frijhoff, Lieve Gevers, Craig Harline, Guido Hendrix, Marion Huibrechts, Staf Janssens, Eddy Louchez, Jeroen Nilis, Ernest Persoons, Eddy Put, Toon Quaghebeur, Ludo Simons, Violet Soen, Gilbert Tournoy, Michel van Meerbeeck, Dries Vanysacker, Johan Verberckmoes, Tom Verschaffel, Dries Welkenhuyzen, and Kaat Wils.

The fourth volume examines all the works attributed to masters with provisional names from the 1470s to the first half of the 16th century (Master of the Joseph Sequence, Master of the Magdalen Legend, Master of the Orsoy Altarpiece, Master of the Saint Barbara Legend, Master of the Saint Catherine Legend, Master of the Saint Lucy Legend, Master of the Saint Ursula Legend, Master of the View of Saint-Gudule, Master of 1473). It was towards 1900 that anonymous works were first grouped, on the basis of stylistic affinities, around certain paintings presenting particular characteristics. Each group is attributed to an anonymous master named after the painting (the eponymous work) which forms the basis for this group. These ensembles serve to give direction to the work of art historians, in the hope of identifying these anonymous painters at a later date. Some of these groups, to which new works have been added over past decades, appear fairly heterogeneous, and merit critical reexamination in the light of modern analysis methods. Like the three previous volumes, it is published in English and abundantly illustrated with colour photographs of the investigated paintings, detail photographs and comparative material. Each of the nineteen paintings has been submitted to exhaustive and detailed examination following a scientific research method which has been fully established over the years. This includes, on the one hand, examination of the supports and the original frames, dendrochronological analysis, infrared reflectography, stereomicroscopic observation, radiographic analysis, ultraviolet fluorescence imaging and, where possible, examination of paint samples and, on the other hand, historical, iconographic and stylistic analysis, dating, attribution and bibliography. Information is drawn from documents in the museum?s archives and supplemented with material held at the Royal Institute for the Study and Conservation of Belgium?s Artistic Heritage (IRPA/KIK) and the Centre for the Study of Fifteenth-Century Painting in the Southern Netherlands and the Principality of Liege. Each group of paintings attributed to a master with a provisional name is introduced with a short status quaestionis evoking the origins of the grouping and the principal publications relating to it. In their notices on the individual paintings, the authors have based their research on comparing them as closely as possible with the works around which each ensemble is grouped. Certain paintings in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium are themselves eponymous works. In these cases the authors have made every effort to document these reference works as thoroughly as possible.

First edition of Peano's third version - the third volume - of his Formulario-project aiming at presenting all mathematical axioms and results in a clear form always using his five axioms and thereby rewrites all known mathematics in a symbolic form and thus provide a key to a satisfactory solution to the questions of the foundations of mathematics. The logical notations used by Peano were used and developed by Whitehead and Russell in their ""Principia Mathematica"" of 1910.""In 1892 he announced in the Rivista the Formulario project, which was to take much of his mathematical and editorial energies for the next sixteen years. He hoped that the result of this project would be the publication of a collection of all known theorems in the various branches of mathematics. The notations of his mathematical logic were to be used, and proofs of the theorems were to be given. There were five editions of the Formulario (the offered item being the third). The first appeared in 1895"" the last was completed in 1908, and contained some 4,200 theorems (the item offered). But Peano was less interested in logic as a science per se than in logic as used in mathematics. (For this reason he called his system ""mathematical logic."") Thus the last two editions of the Formulario introduce sections on logic only as it is needed in the proofs of mathematical theorems."" (DSB).The famous Italian mathematician, logical philosopher, pioneer of symbolic logic, and a founder of mathematical logic and set theory, Giuseppe Peano (1858 -1932) studied mathematics at the University of Turin, where he was employed just after graduating (1880), and where he stayed almost all of his life, devoting this to mathematics. After having graduated with honours, he was employed to assist first Enrico D'Ovidio, and then the renowned Angelo Genocchi, who possessed the chair of Infinitesimal calculus. In 1890 Peano became extraordinary professor, and in 1895 ordinary professor, of infinitesimal calculus at the Unversity of Turin.

First appearance of the statistical paper in which the authors introduced the conceptS of 'Multiple Correlation' and 'Partial Correlation'. ""Pearson did not pursue the theory of multiple and partial correlation beyond the point to which he had carried it in his basic memoir on correlation (1896). The general theory of multiple and partial correlation and regression was developed by his mathematical assistant, G. Udny Yule, in two papers published in 1897. Yule was the first to give mathematical expressions for what are now called partial correlation coefficients, whcih he termed ""net correlation coefficients."" What Pearson had called coefficients of double regression, Yule renamed net regressions"" they are now called partial regression coefficients. The expressions ""multiple correlation"" and ""partial correlation"" stem from the paper written Alice Lee and read to the Royal Society in 1897.""(DSB).
