‎This book rediscovers the Antwerp painter Jan Massys (c.1510-1573) and his artistic milieu. / The painter Jan Massys (c. 1510-1573) trained under his father Quinten, succeeding him after his death (1530) at the head of Antwerp's most famous workshop. However, his career, destined for certain success, was abruptly cut short in 1544. Condemned for joining the Loysts sect, he had to flee Antwerp, finding refuge perhaps initially in France and at one point in Italy. Only in 1555 was he able to return to his homeland, regaining his artistic leadership within a few years. His oeuvre consists exclusively of works for private use and is characterized, in particular, by the depiction of elegant and seductive nude or half-naked female figures, protagonists of biblical or mythological subjects. The identification of the patron of the 1561 Venus with the view of Genoa (Stockholm, Nationalmuseum) in the person of the noble Genoese banker Ambrogio di Negro, offered the possibility of reconstructing the social context of the artist's clientele and his relations with those intellectuals ? both Genoese and Flemish-who gave life to the lively humanist academies of Antwerp. The figure emerges of a cultivated and particularly refined painter, who shared with his patrons the ideals of neo-Petrarchan poetry and executed paintings of great preciousness, characterized by a meticulous and skillful painting technique. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Johannes Massiis alias Quintens Chapter 2 A career of ups and downs Chapter 3 Jan Massys and female beauty Chapter 4 A varied painting technique for depicting beauty, lechery, and luxury Chapter 5 Inside Jan Massys? Workshop: good and not-so-good workshop practices Chapter 6 Inside Jan Massys Workshop: known and unknown assistants Chapter 7 ConclusionBIO Maria Clelia Galassi graduated in art history at the University of Genoa and obtained her PhD from the University of Milan. Since 2000 she is professor at the University of Genoa, where she teaches History of collecting and Technical Art History. She focused her researches on Flemish and Italian painting technique during the Early Modern Age, and in the artistic relationship between Genoa and the Netherlands in the 15th and 16th centuries.‎

‎Summary Le mythe d'Europe dont les premières attestations remontent au VIIIe siècle av. J.-C., dans les Poèmes Homériques et la Théogonie d'Hésiode, façonne de nouvelles visions, figures et images dans les productions littéraires européennes tout comme dans les milieux artistiques, dès l'Antiquité gréco-romaine à nos jours. Il s'agit d'un voyage énigmatique dont il est impossible de déterminer les véritables prémices et dont la fin est probablement encore lointaine. Le centre d'attention du présent volume est Europe, princesse phénicienne, et non l'Europe, idée géopolitique. Avec un regard multidisciplinaire et diachronique, cet ouvrage explore de différentes facettes de la réception du mythe. Les contributeurs proposent des réflexions autour de la caractérisation du personnage mythique d'Europe, pour les périodes archaïque et classique, et autour de la réélaboration du mythe à l'époque hellénistique et humaniste. L'enquête s'étend jusqu'à l'étude de la persistance du mythe d'Europe dans l'art et dans la littérature des époques moderne et contemporaine.

‎Cult, Devotion, and Aesthetics in Later Byzantine Poetry‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 249 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Greek. ISBN 9782503611723.‎

‎Summary Public religious ritual and private devotional practice together occasioned much of the production of Byzantine poetry. This includes not only hymns, an integral part of the liturgy since Late Antiquity, but also versified texts with a specific liturgical function (synaxaria, calendars, metrical prefaces), metrical hagiography, epigrams (inscribed on church buildings, icons, religious objects, books), or poems with a more personal character, such as versified prayers, catanyctic poems (i.e., poems of contrition) and self-addressed poems (eis heauton). These texts often have much in common, well beyond their metrical form: from their contexts of performance and reception to the themes, literary motifs, and rhetorical devices they contain. It was not uncommon for a single author to write in a variety of the aforementioned genres; and yet these texts are rarely studied together (not least due to the specialized nature of the expertise of individual scholars). Later Byzantium offers us a particularly rich spectrum of sacred poetry, which has only recently started to arouse significant interest. While most of its poetic genres have a long history in Byzantine literature, their metamorphoses in this period - connected to changes in socio-political, cultural and religious conditions - deserve closer study. It is the purpose of this volume to propose a broader scholarly approach to the aesthetics of Byzantine poetry, taking into consideration the contexts of religious practice and devotion from c. the 11th to the 15th centuries.

‎Use of Pragmatic Documents in Medieval Wallachia and Moldavia (Fourteenth to Sixteenth Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xvii + 329 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:26 b/w, 2 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503587974.‎

‎Summary In the region that was to become Moldavia and Wallachia, there are almost no traces of the use of writing for the millennium after the Roman Empire withdrew from Dacia. Written culture surfaces only by the second half of the fourteenth century, after the foundation of state institutions. This book surveys the earliest extant documents, their issuers, and the motives that triggered the development of documentary culture in Moldavia and Wallachia. By the fifteenth century, Moldavians were already accustomed to the use of charters. In Wallachia, noblemen also appealed to written records, but at that stage mainly in extraordinary circumstances. Women could not inherit land, and noblemen requested princely charters confirming a legal fiction that turned their daughters into sons. After the mid-sixteenth century, Wallachia experiences a steep growth in the number of charters issued. In this period of economic and social upheaval, charters proved an extraordinary means for the protection of landed property. Yet neither principality held secular archives - the storage of documents for later use in private hands suggests an early stage in the development of documentary culture. By covering the 'birth' and spread of pragmatic literacy in medieval Moldavia and Wallachia, this book thus fills an important lacuna in what is known about the development of literacy in the later Middle Ages.

‎Political Ritual and Practice in Capetian France. Studies in Honour of Elizabeth A. R. Brown‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 457 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:27 b/w, 9 col., 2 tables b/w., 3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593029.‎

‎Summary In this volume, thirteen of the world's leading scholars of medieval France explore some of the most important ideas, events, personalities, and artistic creations of the Capetian world (987-1328). From some of the earliest medieval attempts to make narrative treatments of French history, through the invention of the schools, the creation of Gothic architecture, the practices of chivalry, the practice of statecraft, and the promulgation of law codes, the volume offers a panoramic view of the kingdom and the era that has come to define the medieval world in both the scholarly and popular imaginations. The scholars brought together in this volume share as well a common sense of gratitude and an intellectual debt to Elizabeth A. R. Brown, whose own rigour and brilliance has inspired their work and shaped their sense of the past. Political Ritual and Practice in Capetian France is both a tribute to a scholar of real accomplishment and a collection of original scholarship raised upon on the foundations that Elizabeth A. R. Brown herself set down. TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Illustrations, List of Contributors Introduction Jay Rubenstein and M.

‎In 2016, the world's oldest existing library reopened in Fes, Morocco. It opened for the first time in the 9th Century. These shrines to the written word date back even further, and continue to be built today. They're a place where some of the oldest written texts are preserved and some of the newest technology connects visitors with vast amounts of knowledge. Libraries are changing, but, as places that are fundamentally free and open to all, they're also staying the same. Libraries of the World explores the most stunning examples, but it also explores how varied the idea of a library can be. It can be a grand Baroque hall with leather-bound tomes or a mid-century masterpiece, but it can just as easily be a few shelves in a repurposed phone booth. ‎

‎Für seine wohlgeformten, lasziven nackten Frauen berühmt, war Peter Paul Rubens erstes Anliegen die Darstellung der Sinnenfreuden in all ihren Formen. Ein Barockmaler, der in seinem gesamten künstlerischen Schaffen die Freuden und Wunder des Körperlichen feierte, die strikten sozialen Vorschriften zugunsten einer emotionalen und sinnlichen Porträtierung der Nacktheit aufgebend, um die Schönheit des menschlichen Körpers zu zelebrieren, die für den Künstler ebenso natürlich war wie die Landschaften seiner Jugend. In einem üppig illustrierten Bildband entdecken Maria Varshavskaya und Xenia Egorova diesen flämischen Künstler und setzen einen einzigartigen Fokus auf sein Werk.‎

‎Summary This volume presents 34 studies (750p) in English, French, and Italian, assembled as a tribute by friends and former students from around the world to the late Frank Dobbins (1943-2012), distinguished scholar of the French chanson in early modern Europe. The book is built around studies of music in the Renaissance and Baroque periods (which form the core of the book), together with contributions about music composed between the second half of the eighteenth century and the twentieth centuries; these reflect both the wide-ranging variety of Frank's interests, and the range of his friendships. Secular, sacred, vocal, and instrumental music are all treated, while individual essays focus upon codicology, music printing and editing, music analysis, music theory, text-setting, biography, music and literature, music and theology, and both the reception and sociology of music. They include major discoveries about the diffusion of Jacques Moderne's choirbooks, Josquin's music, and musical and archival sources, while a number cast new light on different repertories.

‎Theatres of Belief: Music and Conversion in the Early Modern City‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 12 col., 10 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598871.‎

‎Summary These eleven essays, all centrally concerned with the intimate relationship between sound, religion, and society in the early modern world, present a sequence of test cases located in a wide variety of urban environments in Europe and the Americas. Written by an international cast of acclaimed historians and musicologists, they explore in depth the interrelated notions of conversion and confessionalisation in the shared belief that the early modern city was neither socially static nor religiously uniform. With its examples drawn from the Holy Roman Empire and the Southern Netherlands, the pluri-religious Mediterranean, and the colonial Americas both North and South, this book takes discussion of the urban soundscape, so often discussed in purely traditional terms of European institutional histories, to a new level of engagement with the concept of a totally immersive acoustic environment as conceptualised by R. Murray Schafer. From the Protestants of Douai, a bastion of the Catholic Reformation, to the bi-confessional city of Augsburg and seventeenth-century Farmington in Connecticut, where the indigenous Indian population fashioned a separate Christian entity, the intertwined religious, musical, and emotional lives of specifically grounded communities of early modern men and women are here vividly brought to life.

En proposant l'édition de l'ensemble de leurs préfaces, cet ouvrage éclaire d'une lumière nouvelle la complexion de ces savants qui défendent une certaine idée de l'homme, de l'amitié, de la paix en un siècle d'affrontements.

‎Dans ce livre des historiens, philosophes, philologues, historiens de l?art, de la littérature et des spectacles, tous spécialistes français et étrangers de la première modernité, s?attachent à comprendre les manières dont s?est établie « la circulation vivante des symboles » dans une civilisation hantée par la question de l?origine des signes. Ils démontrent avec une grande cohérence la fécondité substantielle des premiers travaux de Paulette Choné, qui esquissèrent à propos de la Lorraine ducale et évêchoise au tournant de 1600 les principes d?une « histoire totale ». Ils illustrent la valeur de la diversité dans des enquêtes rendues solidaires par une phénoménologie historique raffinée. Ils rappellent que l?utilité spirituelle de l?art dépend de la présence magistrale.‎

‎Wedding of Charles I and Henrietta Maria, 1625. Celebrations and Controversy‎

‎Summary On 11 May 1625 Charles I married Henrietta Maria, the youngest sister of Louis XIII of France. The match signalled Britain's firm alignment with France against Habsburg Spain and promised well for future relations between the two countries. However, the union between a Protestant king and a Catholic princess was controversial from the start and the marriage celebrations were fraught with tensions. They were further disrupted by the sudden death of James I and an outbreak of the plague, which prevented large-scale public celebrations in London. The British weather also played its part. In fact, unlike other state occasions, the celebrations exposed weaknesses in the display of royal grandeur and national superiority. To a large extent they also failed to hide the tensions in the Stuart-Bourbon alliance. Instead they revealed the conflicting expectations of the two countries, each convinced of its own superiority and intent on furthering its own national interests. Less than two years later Britain was effectively in a state of war against France. In this volume, leading scholars from a variety of disciplines explore for the first time the marriage celebrations of 1625, with a view to uncovering the differences and misunderstandings beneath the outward celebration of union and concord. By taking into account the ceremonial, political, religious and international dimensions of the event, the collection paints a rounded portrait of a union that would become personally successful, but complicated by the various tensions played out in the marriage celebrations and discussed here.
