‎Jan van Mieris (1660-1690) : His Life and Work / catalogue raisonne.‎

‎, Casae, 2021 Hardcover, 182 pages; ENG.edition; 305 x 215 x 16 mm, NEW, illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN 9789083103112.‎

‎Jan van Mieris was trained by his famous father Frans, and worked in the tradition of the Leiden 'fijnschilders'. Art historian and former owner M.J. Ripps about his Self-Portrait: "The theme of the artist with the tools of his trade to hand has a robust tradition on both sides of the Alps. In the middle sixteenth-century artists such as Catherina Sanders van Hemessen (c. 1500 - 1566) and Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1532 - 1625) memorably depicted themselves with brushes, palette, and Mahlstick, as did leading artists of the subsequent generations. Jan van Mieris' self-portrait is in dialogue with that of his father Frans, and engages a tradition that ultimately reaches back to Rogier van der Weyden (1399/1400 - 1464) and forward to Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 - 1669) - critical reference points with which the elder and younger Mieris would have been well acquainted. And by placing themselves at a ledge, father and son invoked a pictorial tradition with roots in Raphael's iconic portrait of Castiglione. In this little self-portrait, thus, grand traditions are encapsulated in miniature."‎

‎BOERHAAVE BOTANICUS : Zijn tuinen, zaaiboeken en botanische vrienden‎

‎Leiden, Primavera Pers, 2018 Paperback, 220 blz, Nederlands, Illustraties. ISBN 9789059972742.‎

‎Dit boek gaat over een onbekende kant van de beroemde Leidse arts Herman Boerhaave: zijn leven als plantkundige. In 1709 werd Boerhaave hoogleraar geneeskunde en kruidkunde, en prefect van de Leidse Hortus Botanicus. Binnen een jaar had h ij een catalogus van alle planten in de Hortus samengesteld. Gedurende v ijftien jaar noteerde h ij ? in zogenoemde zaaiboeken ? alles wat h ij zaaide of plantte in de Hortus en later op Oud-Poelgeest, het landgoed dat h ij kocht omdat de Hortus te klein was voor zijn verzameldrift. Bioloog Margreet Wesseling ontdekte in deze zaaiboeken een schat aan nieuwe informatie die zij combineerde met gegevens uit de vele brieven die Boerhaave schreef. In Boerhaave Botanicus presenteert de auteur een aanvulling op het beeld dat wij van de arts Boerhaave hebben. U leest over Boerhaave?s botanische vrienden, zoals de Brit William Sherard en Jean Baptiste Bassand, hofarts te Wenen; over Fransen, Italianen, een Spanjaard en een jonge Zweed. Overal vandaan stuurde dit internationale gezelschap zaden naar Boerhaave. Bomen hadden Boerhaave?s bijzondere belangstelling. Op Oud-Poelgeest stichtte hij een arboretum met exotische soorten uit Noord-Amerika en Oost-Indi , maar ook alle soorten essen en wilgen die hij maar kon bemachtigen. Carolus Linnaeus, de later beroemd geworden grondlegger van o.a. botanische nomenclatuur, kwam er op bezoek en noemde het een waar paradijs. Boerhaave Botanicus is een eerbetoon aan een man met een onverwoestbare werklust, een arts die zich in korte t ijd een nieuw vakgebied eigen maakte en zoveel botanische kennis vergaarde dat h ij van zijn vakgenoten internationaal veel waardering kreeg.‎

‎Urban Hierarchy. The Interaction between Towns and Cities in Europe in Late Medieval and Early Modern Times‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 228 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503577272.‎

‎Summary Urban hierarchy means a new study approach that focuses on the reciprocal concurrence of relationships between urban centers, their complementarity, opposition, support and ongoing collaboration. The goal is to go beyond the single analysis of a city and focus on the interaction between towns and cities and to distinguish their dynamics and the degree of specialization within a political framework. The final objective is to provide a comprehensive historical analysis as urban history requires, open to the advantages of interdisciplinarity and the contributions of the international researchers that will take part in the book. The processes of urban hierarchisation are not only vital for observing the dynamics of cities, but also for studying in depth the response capabilities of the urban systems in the face of new challenges and stimuli. These aspects of the historical analysis of cities are still quite unexplored and, therefore, they will receive a great deal of attention in the book. The initial regional frameworks will not exclude small towns and rural centers since, even though they may look less potentially relevant, they might display greater specific development. Thanks to a renewed methodology and special attention to the empirical basis, it is possible to improve our knowledge of the urban systems of European regions at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Early Modern Era, shedding light on some aspects of the medieval past that will also influence other scientific areas of humanities.

‎Jan Massys : Renaissance Painter of Flemish Female Beauty.‎

‎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.‎

‎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)‎

‎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.

‎Founded in 1873, the Arabia factory grew to become one of Europe?s leading manufacturers of modern utility and art ceramics by the middle of the 20th century. In Arabia, Ceramics, Art, Industry, the contributors have placed a particular emphasis on design-related issues. The introductory chapter by Elise Kovanen gives an overview of the Arabia factory and its achievements over the years. Helena Leppanen presents a great deal of hitherto unpublished information on the working methods, techniques, and models of the Arabia decoration department, while Marjut Kumela describes the history of Arabia tableware services from the Asian-influenced revived styles of the 1870s to the incipient modernism of the 1930s and the new challenges brought about by the Second World War. Susanna Vakkari continues the narrative by discussing the design of utilitarian objects from the final breakthrough of modernism to products of the present day. Susann Vihma and Tapio Yli-Viikari analyse the design philosophy of Kaj Franck, who was an important artistic director at Arabia, with particular reference to Kilta and Teema, his best-known tableware services. Marianne Aav explores the output of the Arabia Art Department and its significance for the factory?s image. Each chapter is complemented by illustrations of works by Arabia4s designers. The book includes the Arabia Factory Marks.‎

‎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.

‎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.
