‎Francis Picabia : Catalogue Raisonn Vol. III (1927-1939) English / Francais ‎

‎, Exhib Intern/ Mercator 2019, 2019 Hardcover, 424 pages, English/Francais, 305 x 260 mm, with illustrations, book in perfect order, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9789462302488.‎

‎This third in a planned four-volume catalogue raisonn of works by the French avant-garde artist Francis Picabia (1879-1953) includes paintings and selected drawings dating from mid-1927 through 1939. Innovative collage-paintings and flamboyant figural compositions known as "monsters" that dominated Picabia's output in the mid-1920s gave way, during 1927, to new artistic directions. The most important of these was an exploration of the concept of transparency in many forms, first through the addition of new elements to his own pre-existing works, then through the elaboration of tangled compositions, the so-called "transparencies," superimposing outlined figures, animals, plants, and other motifs of various origins. Picabia's characteristic refusal of consistency of style endured, however, and his production during the period also encompassed imposing representational compositions with firmly contoured and solidly colored forms, thickly painted topographical landscapes, curvilinear abstractions, and, toward the end, photo-based figural paintings foreshadowing his notorious painted nudes of the early 1940s.‎

‎William Durand, Rationale IV,On the Mass and Each Action Pertaining to it ‎

‎, Brepols, 2013 Paperback, 525 pages , 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782503548791.‎

‎William Durand (c. 1230-Nov. 1, 1296), Bishop of Mende, France, was unquestionably the most renowned liturgical scholar of the later Middle Ages. His encyclopedic allegorical exposition of the rites and worship services of the Latin Church, the Rationale divinorum officiorum, or "Rationale for the divine offices," is the best known medieval work in its genre. Divided into eight books of varying length, the Rationale is exhaustive in its treatment of a wide variety of subjects: the church building and liturgical art; the ministers of the church and their functions; liturgical vestments; the Mass and the Divine Office; the Church's calendar and its feast days. Modern scholarship has clearly shown that Durand's Rationale superseded all previous liturgical commentaries within only a few years of its publication (c. 1292-1296). By the end of the fifteenth century, it had become one of the most widely disseminated treatises of its kind in western Europe. Book 4, Durand?s lengthy and detailed commentary on the Mass, has never been translated into English. The present volume makes this important text available for modern students of liturgy, musicology, theology, and art history for whom the original Latin text is not accessible. The present translation also provides extensive annotation and explanation of Durand?s sometimes cryptic etymologies, while bringing to light important source material embedded within his commentary. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaeualis as Guillelmus Durantus - Rationale divinorum officiorum IV (CCCM 140). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation. Corpus Christianorum in Translation (CCT 14)‎

‎William Kentridge. Basta y sobra‎

‎, MUSEO NACIONAL CENTRO DE ARTE REINA, 2017 softcover / Tapa blanda / 236 pages / CASTELLANO / Espanol. ISBN 9788480265607.‎

‎Cat logo de la exposici n Basta y sobra de William Kentridge. La muestra preparada en esta ocasi n por el Museo Reina Sof a plantea que el trabajo esc nico de Kentridge (Johannesburgo, 1955), galardonado con el Premio Princesa de Asturias de las Artes 2017, no se puede entender como un discurso en paralelo al pl stico. Al contrario, se trata de una misma esencia que encuentra manifestaciones distintas que se retroalimentan continuamente. La propia evoluci n de la trayectoria intelectual y profesional de Kentridge, artista poco frecuente en los museos de Espa a, testimonia perfectamente la simbiosis de ambos "mundos".‎

‎On Gambling Pascasius Justus Turcq‎

‎BE - , LYSA, 2022 Hardcover with dusjacket, 284 pages, LYNX, vol. 1 ? Hardback, rounded spine, sewn, dust jacket, reading ribbon, Language: English & Latin, fine!. ISBN 9789464447668.‎

‎Pascasius Justus Turcq was born in the Flemish town of Eeklo. As a young man, he travelled through Spain before devoting himself to the study of philosophy and medicine in Italy. On gaining his doctorate, he returned north and settled in Bergen-op-Zoom, where he worked as a physician and eventually became the city?s mayor. He attended to William the Silent as one of the physicians who worked to save the Prince?s life after the assassination attempt of 1582. Alongside tales of gambling princes and perceptive accounts of the mental suffering experienced by problem gamblers, Pascasius? De alea is remarkable for its singular insights into 16th-century medical science. Basing himself on the authority of the ancient, late-antique and mediaeval traditions, Pascasius first fuses discrete theoretical systems into an innovative framework, allowing him to propose a novel description of compulsive gambling as a psychological disorder. Secondly, Pascasius articulates a series of pioneering cures. He describes this therapy in cognitive terms reminiscent of approaches to non-substance addiction in use today. On Gambling was routinely referenced in scholarship on gambling into the 18th century before disappearing almost entirely from view. Newly available here, with a critical Latin text and English translation, On Gambling epitomises the creative potential of 16th-century medical humanism.‎

‎Antoon De Clerck: Visuele hygi ne - Visual hygiene. ‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers / Museum van Deinze , 2023 PB, 280 x 200 mm, 208 pages, ENG-NL edition. ISBN 9789461618658.‎

‎Antoon De Clerck (1923-2001) bekleedt een opmerkelijke positie in het landschap van de 20ste-eeuwse schilderkunst in Belgi . In 2023 zou hij 100 jaar geworden zijn, hoog tijd dus voor een terugblik met zowel een retrospectieve tentoonstelling als een monografie. Antoon De Clerck kwam in Deinze al vroeg in contact met Hugo Claus en Roger Raveel, en zou met die laatste levenslang bevriend blijven. Na een eerste periode van schilderen die vanuit de academie nog sterk aanleunde tegen het werk van leermeesters zoals Hubert Malfait en Jos Verdegem, geraakte Antoon De Clerck sterk ge ntrigeerd door de Nieuwe Visie van Raveel, met onder andere enkele gemeenschappelijke projecten als gevolg (Beervelde, Dulcia). Ondertussen onderscheidde Antoon De Clerck zich met zijn talent op vlak van grafisch ontwerp en typografie, en vond hij wat later een eigen weg die sterk aanleunde bij het vigerende hyperrealisme. In zijn uitgepuurde beeldtaal streeft hij vooral de waarachtigheid na, een kijk op het echte leven die dan weer sterk aanleunt bij de visie binnen de popart en door hemzelf soms 'visuele hygi ne' genoemd.‎

‎Historia Apollonii regis Tyri: A Fourteenth-Century Version of a Late Antique Romance. Edited from Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Vaticanus latinus 1961‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, xi + 123 pages, Size:140 x 215 mm, Language: Latin. ISBN 9780888444868.‎

‎Summary With its shipwrecked princes, pirates, and princesses, the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri provided medieval Europe with one of its most popular and influential narratives. The tale incorporates many literary features characteristic of the ancient Hellenistic novel, but differs markedly from its Greek predecessors: its narrative is presented in condensed fashion, its description of characters and events is straightforwardly functional, and the style of its Latin simple. While these features make the Historia Apollonii an oddity among the ancient novels, they contributed to the appeal the story held for later readers and writers in medieval Europe. This edition provides a text of the Latin Historia Apollonii as a reader from the later Middle Ages might have encountered it, from a manuscript written in Italy in the middle of the fourteenth century.‎
