‎Late Gothic Architecture , Its Evolution, Extinction and Reception , ‎

‎In this book, Robert Bork offers a sweeping reassessment of late Gothic architecture and its fate in the Renaissance. In a chronologically organized narrative covering the whole of western and central Europe, he demonstrates that the Gothic design tradition remained inherently vital throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, creating spectacular monuments in a wide variety of national and regional styles. Bork argues that the displacement of this Gothic tradition from its long-standing position of artistic leadership in the years around 1500 reflected the impact of three main external forces: the rise of a rival architectural culture that championed the use of classical forms with a new theoretical sophistication; the appropriation of that architectural language by patrons who wished to associate themselves with papal and imperial Rome; and the chaos of the Reformation, which disrupted the circumstances of church construction on which the Gothic tradition had formerly depended. Bork further argues that art historians have much to gain from considering the character and fate of late Gothic architecture, not only because the monuments in question are intrinsically fascinating, but also because examination of the way their story has been told?and left untold, in many accounts of the ?Northern Renaissance??can reveal a great deal about schemes of categorization and prioritization that continue to shape the discipline even in the twenty-first century.‎

‎Painting as a Modern Art in Early Renaissance Italy‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2020 Hardback, 366 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 115 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554003.‎

‎Summary Concepts of modernity have played a constitutive role in the canon of European art history at least since Giorgio Vasari, who looked back upon Giotto as the founder of "modern art" (arte moderna). The aim of this book is to establish a prehistory of Vasari's view. Was Vasari merely projecting a sixteenth-century concept of artistic modernity onto the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, or were the artists of that period guided by some notion of modernity as well? Brennan argues that discussions of "modern art" were in fact widespread during Giotto's time, according to the broad, medieval definition of "art" (ars) that encompassed activities as diverse as arithmetic, poetry, carpentry, music, and preaching. Within this discourse, to make an art "modern" meant setting it on a new foundation in "science" (scientia) and rationalizing it accordingly. By the year 1400, Florentine writers such as Cennino Cennini and Franco Sacchetti were applying these same terms and principles to Giotto. In doing so they shed light not only on the structure of artistic development in the fourteenth century, but also on the way Giotto's legacy shaped the prerogatives of artists in the early fifteenth - that is, in the generation of Brunelleschi, Donatello, and Masaccio.‎

‎Biblical Humanism in Bohemia and Moravia in the 16th Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2017 Hardback, 329 p., 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 tables b/w., English, Czech, Latin. *NEW. ISBN 9782503551814.‎

‎Bohemia and Moravia are extraordinarily important in the history of biblical translation into the Slavic languages. In the mid-14th century the first complete translation of the Bible into a national Slavonic language, namely the Old Czech, appeared in Bohemia. Other works that exerted influence on translations of the Bible into Polish, Lusatian, or Ruthenian originated in the Bohemian Lands in the 14th to 16th centuries. The Old Czech biblical tradition found its successors in the 16th century producing a number of translations of the Bible or its parts into the Czech language. The present volume follows the transmission of the biblical text in the 16th century focusing on those translators who exploited incentives of the biblical humanism and, as a consequence, deviated to a various degree from the Latin Vulgate tradition. The pioneering work of the Nám??? New Testament translation of 1533, closely linked to the first grammar of the Czech language issued in the same year, was followed shortly after by others and found its peak in the monumental Six-Volume Kralice Bible which originated between 1579 and 1594 and decisively influenced Modern Standard Czech. The present volume brings bio-bibliographical information about the authors of the translations, translatological analyses of the works examined, characterization of their Czech language and new findings about the sources for the translations. The breadth and depth of analysis are unprecedented in the scholarship dealing with 16th century Czech translations of the Bible. he book is divided into two parallel and mutually linked parts (I. Biographical sketches of translators and bibliography of prints, II. Linguistic analysis), each consisting of seven chapters (see below). The structure of the book, selection of prints examined and editorial note are described in an introductory part. Individual chapters describe biblical translations or their parts into Czech which were influenced by biblical humanism. The chapters are ordered chronologically according to the first edition of the translations described. The biographical information consists of information about the translation (period reports and reception, realization of the translation, copies preserved until today) and the translator (his studies, professional occupation, intellectual skills, confession and genres of his works important for the context of the work described and bibliography). The linguistic analysis aims at determining the sources of the translation, the translation strategy, the Czech of the translation and the impact of further tradition. The following works are analyzed: 1. New Testament (printed in Nám??? 1533) by Bene? Optát and Petr Gzel. The first Czech biblical translation to deviate intentionally from the Vulgate, translated from Erasmus? Latin New Testament version. The translators were non-conformist Utraquists residing in Moravia. The translation is unique as the translators created a lot of neologisms while trying to express the etymology of some religious terms. The translation was made use of in Jan Blahoslav?s works including his New Testament of 1564 and 1568. 2. The second Severin Bible of 1537 printed in Prague. It is a revised text of the first edition of 1529 and a very important text for further development of the Czech biblical translation. In both the Old and the New Testaments it deviates from the Vulgate to a certain even though limited degree. This Bible became the textual model for Melantrich?s editions of the Bible. 3. Paraphrase on the Gospel of St Matthew (Leitmeritz 1542) and translation of the Old Testament by Jan Vartovský of Varta. The paraphrase is a translation of Erasmus? paraphrase of the Gospel according to Matthew. Vartovský, a trilingual utraquist scholar and a Prague citizen, was also an author of an unpreserved translation of the Old Testament from original texts. 4. Netolický and Melantrich Bibles (1549?1577). The translation or modification of older versions was partially prepared by Sixt of Ottersdorf, a Reformation humanist and a well-known historian who prepared the translation of the Third Book of Maccabees (for the first time in a Czech version issued in the Netolický Bible of 1549) and also took part in modification of the New Testament. The Melantrich Bibles represent the official and most widespread Czech translation of the second half of the 16th century. 5. ?altá? svatýho Davida, translated by Mat?j ?ervenka and released in 1562 possibly in Prost?jov. It is the first translation of the Unity of Brethren to include numerous non-Vulgate readings even though it was translated from a Latin version. The translation was fiercely criticized in Jan Blahoslav?s grammar but in some readings it did influence the translation of Psalms in the Kralice Bible. 6. Two New Testament translations (printed in Ivan?ice in 1564 and 1568, respectively) by Jan Blahoslav, a bishop of the Unity of the Brethren, strongly influenced by Melanchthonian Reformation humanism. The translation was based on Greek-Latin versions of the Bezan and Erasmian tradition and quoted also the Greek text. It is a direct predecessor to the Six-Volume Kralice Bible. It originated as a counterpart to the Nám??? New Testament of 1533 and translations following the Vulgate. During the translation, Jan Blahoslav prepared a grammar of Czech intended also as a manual for future translation of the Old Testament. In the grammar various biblical sources and humanistic translations are mentioned which help us reconstruct the sources for the translation. 7. The Six-Volume Kralice Bible (1579?1594) and its reeditions before 1613. This Bible is the largest Czech humanistic translation and the first complete biblical translation into Czech to have been translated from the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek). It was prepared by a group of scholars and priests of the Unity of the Brethren. The first edition was printed in six volumes in which the biblical translation was supplemented by extensive philological and theological commentaries. These should compensate for exegetical works. The translation reflects influences of Reformation confessional culture and in the following centuries it decisively influenced the Standard Czech. The Kralice Bible and Blahoslav?s New Testament are therefore treated in the prepared publication most extensively. New findings enable to give a more accurate account of the whole process of translation and its cultural context.‎

‎An intimate window into the secret lives of more than seventy - five great artists by one of France's most successful and best-known photographers. During the golden age when Montparnasse was teeming with artists, Robert Doisneau gained remarkable access to the key figures working in Paris from 1937 onwards, and he visited their studios and caught them in various private moments: working, reflecting, and even playing with their children. This book, which includes some previously unpublished photographs, shares Doisneau's intimate view on the work and lives of these artists. Many remain famous-Picasso, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Giacometti, Saul Steinberg, Marcel Duchamp, Le Corbusier, Foujita-while others have fallen into obscurity, perhaps one day to be rediscovered. Regardless of the artist's social status-whether major luminary of the day or struggling newcomer- Doisneau approached each subject with the same humble eye. His signature black-andwhite photographs capture the nostalgia of the period and bear witness to these artists in the act of creating some of the world's finest art. This book, published in conjunction with Doisneau's daughters, is a fascinating document of the daily lives of artists by one of the world's most famous and popular photographers.‎

‎Gee?nthousiasmeerd door Darwin en de Duitse embryologie trokken aan het eind van de negentiende eeuw Nederlandse ontwikkelingsbiologen vanuit hun nieuwe laboratoria naar buiten. Hun leidsman was Pieter Harting: dankzij hem bekeken en vergeleken studenten onder de microscoop nauwkeurig de ontwikkelingsstadia van verschillende plant- en diersoorten. Konden zij sporen van het evolutionaire verleden vinden in de wijze waarop flora en fauna zich nu ontwikkelden? Vanaf 1872 reisden Nederlandse studenten naar het prestigieuze internationale zoo?logische station in Napels, pal aan de kust, om daar de nieuwste technieken te leren. Dit kon dankzij een door de overheid ingesteld nationaal stipendium, een primeur. De zoo?logen die daarvan terugkwamen, overtuigden de Nederlandse staat vervolgens om een eigen zoo?logisch station te steunen. In Den Helder kwam zo?n station tot stand dat visserijproblemen in de Rijn en de Noordzee te lijf ging. Plantenembryologen zetten in diezelfde periode in Buitenzorg (nu Bogor) in Nederlands-Indie? een groot botanisch-agronomisch instituut op, inclusief internationaal bezoekersstation, met grote gevolgen voor de koloniale economie. Mannen van de microscoop is de biografie van vier biologen (Pieter Harting, Ambrosius Hubrecht, Paulus Hoek en Melchior Treub) en hun lobby voor nationale en koloniale laboratoriumwetenschap. Zonder hen hadden het Nederlandse e?n het Indonesische wetenschapslandschap er vandaag de dag heel anders uitgezien. ‎
