‎Summary This book explores the legend of Adam's Contract with Satan that was made after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.This legend was current in the Eastern Orthodox churches of SE Europe as well as in the Caucasus. Unknown forms of the legend have been found in two traditions, the Romanian and the Armenian, and are investigated here. Notably this legend has found its way into folk stories and sometimes into folk music, showing how widely it was accepted and distributed. This legend also inspired images in both traditions. In Romania the most striking illustrations are to be found in Bukovina province, in frescos on the famous painted churches of that region, as well as in manuscripts. In Armenia features of this story are incorporated into the iconography of the Baptism of Christ in the River Jordan.

‎Summary Patrick Zutshi is a leading authority on the later medieval Western Church and papacy and internationally recognised as an expert in papal diplomatic and the Avignon Curia. This volume brings together essays by over twenty of Patrick's colleagues and friends, all distinguished scholars in medieval history, to celebrate his 70th birthday. The volume reflects both Patrick's wide scholarly interests, ranging from the administration of the papal curia to intellectual and legal history and the mendicant orders, and his extensive network of colleagues and collaborators in different countries, including Germany, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, USA, and UK. This collection of essays also engages with important themes in later medieval history of wide interest to university students, their teachers, and other researchers in the field, comprising: Mendicants and the Religious Life; University and Intellectual History; Bishops and Secular Clergy; and the Papal Curia between Avignon and Rome. All the essays draw on original research, reflecting Patrick's own research and editing of manuscript and archival sources. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

‎Summary Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century advertisements for pianos, pianists, merchants, music publishers and, above all, for domestic purchases are full of images employed for commercial rather than cultural purposes. This volume examines the commercial characters and significances of how pianos were pictured between the early days of 'modern' marketing to today. During the early 1920s, piano sales peaked in the United States; nevertheless, pianos have continued to be sold even as radios, record players, television sets and electric keyboards increasingly replace them as must-have sources of entertainment and improvement. The market for player pianos, although comparatively short-lived, also provided manufacturers and retailers with opportunities to depict pianos and pictures.

‎masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen in the centre of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Room 606 is the last surviving interior of the SAS House: an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960. Jacobsen was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, throughout his career, creating complete settings for daily life and dissolving the boundaries between architecture, interior and industrial design. The chapters are organized thematically: each consists of three sections that together look at Room 606 as a microcosm of the SAS House, reconstruct the original building, and trace the connections between Jacobsen's masterpiece and his other works - from whole buildings to household objects.‎

‎Late Medieval Cistercian Monastery of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. Monastic Administration, Economy, and Archival Memory‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 208 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 18 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503567716.‎

‎Summary Founded in 1132, Fountains Abbey became the wealthiest English Cistercian monastery - yet relatively little analysis has been made of its surviving records to investigate how its wealth was controlled and sustained. This book deals with this secular aspect of the religious community at Fountains, investigating in particular the way in which prosaic business records were compiled and redacted. It traces the transmission of data from original charters through successive versions of cartularies, and in the process establishes the existence of a previously unknown manuscript. It also reveals how abbots in the fifteenth century interacted with and adapted the records in their care. In this process, two quite different aspects of monastic life are uncovered. First, it sheds new light on the history of Fountains Abbey through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, amongst other things how it responded to the turmoil of the Black Death, and discloses for the first time the allegiance of one abbot to the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses. Second, it reveals the worldly skills shown by the community of Fountains that were successfully applied to exploit the monastery's large landholdings across Yorkshire, mainly through wool and agricultural production, but also through fisheries, tanning, mining, and metalworking. The economic success of these activities enabled the abbey to become a prosperous institution which rivalled the wealth of the aristocracy. This book addresses recordkeeping and archival memory at one, Cistercian, monastery - albeit a well-endowed and prosperous one - in the north of England. However, its treatment of archival sources could be extended to other houses in different geographical locations and different orders, to enable comparisons between monasteries dealing with economic change and social and political upheaval in the later Middle Ages.

‎Leonardo, de eerste natuurwetenschapper ‎

‎, Tirion, 2000 Softcover, 352 pagina's, 23.5 x 15.5 cm, NL. *Goede staat. ISBN 9789043901123.‎

‎Een monografie over Leonardo da Vinci die een nog weinig belichte kant van deze Renaissancekunstenaar en -wetenschapper belicht: Da Vinci als natuurwetenschapper. Hoewel dit boek in de eerste plaats zijn natuurwetenschappelijke ideeen belicht, komen andere aspecten ook ter sprake. De auteur maakt duidelijk dat de belangrijkste schilderijen die Da Vinci maakte, lofzangen waren op zijn dubbele talent als kunstenaar en wetenschapsbeoefenaar en dat er een vruchtbare wisselwerking tussen beide gebieden was. Ook de mens Da Vinci wordt door White duidelijk belicht. Deze homoseksuele vegetarier was een man van tegenstellingen en conflicten die veel reisde en het leven tot op de bodem wilde ervaren. De tekst lijkt geschreven door een auteur die Da Vinci persoonlijk heeft gekend en zijn zoektocht naar het leven van nabij heeft meegemaakt. Hij brengt zijn interpretatie van Da Vinci heel dicht bij de lezer. Niet verwonderlijk, want de auteur had als kind al een enorme fascinatie voor Da Vinci. Het is jammer dat het boek geen informatie geeft over de achtergrond van White. Er zijn verschillende zwart-witschetsen en portretten opgenomen. Het boek besluit met een beschrijving van de voornaamste personen in Da Vinci's leven, voor hem belangrijke jaargetallen, noten en een register.‎

‎Anatomical Studies 1./ Study heads and anatomical studies / Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard , vol. 20.1‎

‎, , 2022 Hardcover with dusjacket, 220 pages, Size:175 x 260 mm, Illustrations:94 b/w, 62 col. fine!. ISBN 9780905203805.‎

‎The central theme of Rubens?s paintings is the human figure, often represented nude or partially clothed and involved in dramatic action. As a history painter, Rubens?s acclaimed skill in rendering the human body whether male or female, lean or fleshy, mature in years or young, animated or lifeless, vigorous or diseased, heroic or cowering, sensuous or decrepit, idealised or blemished and imperfect enabled him to vie with the greatest artists ever known, while creating increasing demand for his work among Europe?s intellectual, cultural, religious and political lite. His mastery in depicting human figures and their dynamic movements suggests that he followed the example of Leonardo da Vinci (1452?1519), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475?1564) and other Italian artists he admired, who made extensive studies of human anatomy. As pointed out by two recent perceptive scholars, however, the robust, muscular male nudes in action who appear in so many of Rubens?s narrative paintings are often anatomically inaccurate. Moreover, and as will become clear in this volume, Rubens?s approach to anatomical study was not closely similar to that of any of his forbears. In many respects his ways of working are comparable to those of Michelangelo, who used the knowledge he acquired through dissection not to pursue verisimilitude but to invent the anatomy of his figures according to his own idea of physical beauty, strength and expression. Yet unlike Italian Renaissance artists such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Alessandro Allori (1535?1607), Rubens did not perform or witness dissections and seems to have rarely studied from the live nude model. What, then, was the nature and extent of Rubens?s study of human anatomy? The present volume will offer an answer to that question, while also establishing when and where most of his anatomical works were made and reassessing the issue of their intended purpose.‎

‎The posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954?2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf?s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception. This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf?s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpaïs Du Bois (°1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf?s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois?s stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2014), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.‎

‎Teaching the Past Prehistory and Archaeology in European Schools and National Curricula‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 214 , Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 45 col., 6 tables b/w., Language(s):English. *New . ISBN 9782503617084.‎

‎Since the foundation of archaeology as a discipline, archaeologists have aimed to communicate proper information about the past to the wider public. For the most part, however, this dissemination of knowledge has been informal. The teaching of archaeology and of prehistory as part of an adopted national curriculum, meanwhile, has been largely ignored; while subjects such as the ?Stone Age? often feature in school curricula, the ways in which archaeology and prehistory are taught has often been disregarded. This volume aims to fill a gap in our understanding of how archaeological knowledge is disseminated by examining the presence of archaeology and representations of the distant past in school education, particularly through the analysis of history textbooks. The contributors to this volume, drawn from different countries across Europe, here assess the teaching of archaeology and prehistory in their own countries in the light of national perspectives, and distinctive education policies. Covering topics such as the portrayal of prehistory, the use and manipulation of the past, the role of stereotype and myth, and the perceptions of archaeology as a discipline, the papers together shed a unique light on to the dissemination of the material past.‎
