‎Victor Horta (1861-1947) est le célèbre créateur de l'architecture Art Nouveau. Après l'Hôtel Tassel, à Bruxelles, en 1893, Horta a construit plus de 40 immeubles en une décennie. Ce nouvel ouvrage expose les nombreuses influences qui se sont exercées sur son ?uvre, ainsi que son héritage. Les descriptions détaillées de 19 projets, dont le Pavillon Lambeaux, l'Hôtel Autrique, l'Hôtel Max Hallet et l'Hôpital Brugmann, sont illustrées de dessins originaux de Horta et de photographies réalisées spécialement pour l'occasion par le photographe primé Alastair Carew-Cox, spécialisé en architecture. L'ouvrage comprend en outre de nombreuses photographies de l'Hôtel Solvay, une des ?uvres majeures de Horta, dont l'accès, refusé aux photographes depuis 20 ans, a été exceptionnellement accordé à Alastair Carew-Cox au cours de l'été 2016, en reconnaissance de la contribution significative apportée par lui et le Professeur David Dernie à l'étude de Horta.‎

‎Summary Le lettere del medico fiorentino Alessandro Pini (1653-1717) e il suo trattato De moribus Turcarum fanno emergere un'immagine avvincente del popolo egiziano e della cultura ottomana. Ciò che Pini ha osservato in Egitto e nel mondo ottomano rivela una straordinaria dimensione mediterranea di commistione culturale, fatta di scambi e di incontri scaturiti dalle necessità lavorative e anche dalla semplice quotidianità. Oltre alla missione scientifica ufficiale egli doveva svolgere un'intrigante attività spionistica per Cosimo III, Granduca di Toscana, in cui si rivelò poi fallimentare. Amareggiato e osteggiato per l'insuccesso, passò poi alle dipendenze della Repubblica di Venezia e dimorò per vari anni a Istanbul e in Morea, dove senza pregiudizi e con ampiezza di vedute osservò le tradizioni e i costumi dei popoli che incontrava. Decise dunque consapevolmente di scrivere l'esaltazione di un mondo che l'Occidente vedeva come il suo alter ego negativo. Sebbene fosse stato imprigionato nella sua società di adozione, Pini rimase affascinato, forse anche ipnotizzato, da quello stesso mondo che lo aveva variamente premiato e frustrato sia nel suo lavoro ufficiale che nel suo incarico segreto.

‎Rampen, misdaden en ongelukken in Aalst op het einde van de 19e eeuw. Waarlijk dat gaat te verre is een Aalsterse geschiedkundige vereniging, opgericht door de auteurs met als doel de geschiedenis te laten beleven. Dit boek neemt je mee naar Aalst in de laatste decennia van de 19e eeuw (1875?1899). Op basis van honderden processen-verbaal van politie, waarin herbergen en herbergiers steeds een rol speelden, tonen we de rauwe werkelijkheid van arbeiders en hun gezinnen; verteld door slachtoffers, daders en getuigen, elk met hun eigen verhaal naar waarheid of leugen. Het was de tijd van de Belle Époque: vooruitgang en optimisme, maar ook uitbuiting en armoede. Fabrieksarbeiders zwoegden zes dagen op zeven, twaalf uur per dag, voor een hongerloon. Kinderen werden ingezet als goedkope werkkrachten en grote gezinnen leefden in kleine werkmanshuisjes, vaak in benauwde beluiken. Op vrijdagavond zochten velen hun toevlucht in cafés en danskoten, waar plezier vaak omsloeg in dronkenschap, ruzie en geweld. Waarlijk dat Gaat te Verre vertelt hun verhaal: van agressie en vechtpartijen tot diefstallen en wanhoop, maar ook van de sociale en politieke spanningen die Aalst blijvend hebben gekleurd.‎

‎Reception of Biblical Figures. Essays in Method‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 8 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503600765.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

‎, National Portrait Gallery (Thames), 2023 Hardcover, 48 pages, ENG., edition, 275 x 220 mm, full page illustrated coloured portaits. ISBN 9781855145870.‎

‎David Hockney: Normandy Portraits accompanies a major exhibition on David Hockney at the National Portrait Gallery, London. It reveals new portraits painted in Hockney's Normandy Studio between 2020 and 2022. David Hockney: Normandy Portraits illustrates around 40 acrylic on canvas works painted by Hockney at his Normandy studio - depicting his friends and visitors, as well as the artist himself. This image-led book product will showcase a series of some previously unseen portraits, through 48 pages, uninterrupted by text, to allow readers to engage directly with the artworks. These works highlight the ongoing importance of portraiture within the artist's practice and demonstrate his sentiment that 'drawings and paintings . are a lot better than photographs to give you a sense of the person'. Hockney returned to painting after an intensive period spent depicting the Normandy landscape using an iPad. The portraits were painted quickly and directly onto the canvas without under drawing. As Hockney has said 'to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction'.‎

‎Summary «Music in the Disruptive Era» contains fifteen essays assessing the impact of today's revolutionary digital technologies on the ways audiences and industry professionals perceive, compose, consume, research, and communicate about music. After an initial assessment of ?the Disruptive Era? in a series of six snapshots offering a summary and review of some of the technological challenges (and opportunities) confronting both music producers and consumers, a group of international scholars considers the impact of the digital era in three major areas. First, there is the revolution in data storage and retrieval, with online archives and other digital resources making an unprecedented volume and diversity of information available to scholars and researchers for the first time ? all from the convenience of a home desktop. Second, three essays assess some of the myriad ways in which composers and music industry professionals have been influenced by the potentialities and discontinuities of the current age to find creative inspiration, attract new audiences, and reimagine traditional musical idioms. Finally, on the cutting edge of the digital divide, scholarly contributors examine two of the countless new genres birthed by the advent of the latest technological innovations: specifically, the ?meme? and the ?video loop.?

‎Latin Ptolemaic Writings on Astronomy and Astrology up to AD 1700 A Comprehensive Survey of the Works, Manuscripts and Early Printed Editions‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 2 vols, 1000 p., 178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:32 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English. *New . ISBN 9782503607153.‎

‎Throughout the Middles Ages and the early modern period, Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus, c. 100-170 A.D.) was considered the foremost authority in mathematical astronomy and in astrology in all societies that inherited Greek learning, including the Islamic world and Latin Europe. The history of the Ptolemaic tradition in these civilisations, however, has never been systematically researched. This book offers the first complete treatment for the Latin world. It includes a full survey of the Ptolemaic works (original works in translation, pseudepigrapha and commentaries), together with a catalogue of 693 manuscripts and 104 early printed editions (up to 1700 A.D.) of these works. This essential volume contains nothing less than the ultimate bibliographical and codicological survey of the entire Latin Ptolemaic tradition on astronomy and astrology up to AD 1700, in all its sprawling and oftentimes surprising detail. The end result is a monument of unrivalled erudition that breaks new ground on a page-by-page basis. It effectively puts contemporary research on the history of astronomy and astrology on a completely new foundation and is destined to remain the go-to resource in this area for many decades, if not centuries, to come (C. Philipp E. Nothaft)‎

‎J. Samuel White & Co., Shipbuilders : An Illustrated History of the Oldest Shipyard on the Admiralty List‎

‎, The History Press Ltd 2012, 2012 Paperback, 175 pages, English, 235 x 165 mm, book in perfect condition , with much illustrations in b/w,. ISBN 9780752466125.‎

‎J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty List and built 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard's closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding during which time the company had gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers alike. Famed early on for fast Revenue cutters and naval brigs, in its final years Royal Navy destroyers earned it great distinction. Highly innovative, it developed and patented many pioneering products while other innovations included semi-diesel engines, heat exchangers, air conditioners and compressors, besides a range of marine thruster units. Not only did the company build ships and boats but it also constructed a range of marine aircraft. During the First World War, White's production accounted for 100 ships, including twenty-seven destroyers, and 201 seaplanes. Production during the Second World War added up to 317 ships, among them twenty-six destroyers and a large minelayer. Illustrated with photographs of these and many of the company's other products, this book tells the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned it the slogan: White's-built - well-built! .‎

‎L'aigle, le lion et la Ménorah. Approche socioculturelle de la diaspora juive d'Asie Mineure aux époques tardo-républicaine et impériale romaines‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Paperback, Pages: 596, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, 19 col., Languages: French, Hebrew, Greek. ISBN 9782503612041.‎

‎Summary Bien moins connue que les foyers de Juifs alexandrins ou babyloniens, la diaspora anatolienne offre un champ d'étude du plus haut intérêt en vue de saisir les interactions entre un peuple à la culture forte basée sur la tradition du Livre et les croyances et coutumes souvent polythéistes et païennes des nombreux groupes sociaux qui firent de l'Anatolie un creuset de civilisations. La synagogue de Sardes, implantée dans la zone la plus prestigieuse de la cité, représente un exemple frappant de l'intégration réussie d'une communauté ayant conservé son altérité, mais prenant une large part à la vie civique dans un Orient hellénisé dominé par Rome. Les motifs artistiques représentant entre autres des aigles et des lions qui entourent la table où l'on lisait la Torah donnent une image du syncrétisme religieux qui influença le judaïsme micrasiatique. Comme pierre de touche afin de saisir l'étendue de cette culture juive originale, les sources littéraires mais surtout l'épigraphie funéraire révèlent des éléments de croyances, des aspirations et de la position sociale de ces hommes et de ces femmes durant leur vie et après celle-ci. Les documents de pierre, qui nous renseignent notamment sur l'onomastique en usage dans la diaspora, ainsi que l'archéologie des sépultures, des synagogues, ou encore la numismatique nous instruisent sur l'évolution des croyances juives et des rites dans le temps long, particulièrement durant l'époque romaine. Ce travail de recherche sur le judaïsme anatolien se veut une solide contribution à l'étude de la dynamique des cultures qui fusionnèrent dans un espace géographique péninsulaire, entre sédimentation et résurgence de systèmes de croyances.

‎Summary The medieval courtly lyric, the site for the first extended literary exercises in Occitan, French, Italian and German, is one of the foundations of how we think about European literature. Since the nineteenth century it has in many accounts underpinned a system of linguistically-informed national traditions. David Murray shows in 'Poetry in Motion' how categorizing poetry under headings like 'French' or 'Italian' poetry can obscure the thinking of medieval poets and scribes about what constituted a language. Rather than existing within a series of rigidly distinct linguistic systems, Murray demonstrates that song moved in a fluid environment where linguistic boundaries could be easily crossed. Aided by its melody, metrical form or quotation in a larger text, a song could travel and elicit meaningful reactions and interactions far from 'home'. Combining literary studies with philology, manuscript studies and musicology, 'Poetry in Motion' shows the truly European reach of song in the Middle Ages.

‎Paolo Veronese‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, Pages: 376 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm; Illustrations:2 b/w, 357 col. Language:English, Italian, Latin. ISBN 9781909400986.‎

‎David Rosand's Paolo Veronese is a masterly account of the Venetian painter's artistic achievement, demonstrating a complete command of the literature and scholarly issues, insightful interpretations of individual paintings and drawings, and a marvelously elegant prose style. Rosand's reading of each painting judiciously considers how Veronese brought his pictorial intelligence to bear on the formal qualities of his work to create his own personal rhetoric of visual expression, one that embodies the ?dignity and nobility of painting and resonates with viewers and readers today. Rosand?s arguments are not solely visual, however, but are buttressed by extensive quotations from scripture and textual sources. The author synthesizes decades of research and careful reflection, refining his own approaches, which have themselves stood the test of time. Careful readings of specific paintings, including the celebrated Wedding Feast at Cana, the frescoes at the Villa Barbaro, and the church of San Sebastiano, where Rosand played an integral part in the recent restoration by Save Venice Inc., are all accompanied by lavish illustrations, providing the reader the opportunity to put into practice the author?s conviction that our own responses to paintings will guide their interpretation.‎
