Turnhout Brepols 1999. Hardback, 336 p., + 38 ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503508443. Depuis le Moyen Age, les reliques ont joue un role fondamental dans la vie religieuse, mais aussi economique et politique des societes chretiennes tant occidentales qu'orientales. Pour autant, ce theme est reste jusqu'ici relativement neglige par l'historiographie. Le colloque qui a donne naissance a ce livre constitue une tentative originale pour interpreter le culte et la signification des reliques dans une approche d'anthropologie historique. Rassemblant dix-huit specialistes internationaux de disciplines differentes, alliant histoire et histoire de l'art, l'ouvrage aborde la signification des reliques au fil des siecles sous plusieurs aspects complementaires: les reliques representent un trait commun du christianisme, une affaire de foi, des objets de culte et un enjeu de pouvoir. Ce livre met ainsi en relief un phenomene essentiel de l'histoire des societes chretiennes: comment des… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2012. Hardback, XXVI+536 p., 7 b/w ill. + 150 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. Language : English, Italian. ISBN 9781905375844. This richly illustrated volume provides a translation and critical edition of the opening part of the Felsina pittrice, which focuses on the art of late medieval Bologna. The text is unusual in the context of the Felsina pittrice as a whole in that it seeks to record what survives in the city, rather than focusing on individual artists. In response to Vasari?s account of the Renaissance of painting in Florence, Malvasia offers a colorful and valuable portrait of Trecento painting in Bologna, noting the location and condition of destroyed or whitewashed frescoes, dismantled polyptychs, and paintings for which no other record survives. Malvasia provides crucial information on works by important fourteenth-century painters such as Lippo di Dalmasio, Simone dei Crocefissi, and Vitale da Bologna. Included in the volume are historical notes to the text and to the… Read More

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2017. Hardback, 2 volumes ., 844 pages ., 33 b/w ill. + 877 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9781909400665. Malvasia's life of Marcantonio Raimondi includes Malvasia's critical catalogue of prints by or after Bolognese artists, from Giulio Bonasone to Giovan Battista Pasqualini. A great connoisseur and avid collector of prints, Malvasia recognizes the intelligence and novelty inherent in Giorgio Vasari's life of Marcantonio with its list of prints produced by the Bolognese engraver. In republishing Vasari's life, Malvasia not only adds valuable new information, but also completes Vasari's list by cataloguing all the prints unnoticed by his Florentine predecessor. Aware of the interest of amateurs and collectors in identifying old and new prints, establishing their states, and building up an exhaustive collection, Malvasia undertakes the groundbreaking task of describing, one by one or by coherent series, the whole corpus of… Read More

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2012. Hardback, XXIV+414 p., 151 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English, Italian . ISBN 9781909400009. Richly illustrated, this critical edition and English translation of Malvasia?s lives of Domenichino and Francesco Gessi from his Felsina pittrice offer access to the life and work of two great masters of seventeenth-century Bologna. Domenichino?s life plays a seminal role in Malvasia?s definition of the "fourth age" of painting in Italy. From the very beginning, Malvasia pits against each other Guido Reni and Domenichino, the two champions of the vanguard style that emerged from the Carracci reform of painting. If Guido becomes the idol of the Lombard and Bolognese school, "more attuned to tenderness and audacity," Domenichino embodies an ideal of perfection more in keeping with the Florentine and Roman school, "fond of finish and diligence." Malvasia reports that he did not know Domenichino, and his reconstruction of the career of the… Read More

The abbey of San Sebastiano, which lies not far from the town of Alatri in Southern Lazio, preserves within its walls almost fifteen hundred years of history. This history is unusually bound to a number of important figures, from Saint Benedict to Pope Nicholas V and his circle of humanists. For the past four years a small team has been investigating the standing structures of the abbey, analyzing the stratigraphy of the standing walls and tracing the various phases through the building. The study has produced some startling discoveries: the plan and preserved walls of one of the oldest monasteries in Europe, and one of the earliest Renaissance villas. The book gives an account of the architecture and the history of the building, showing how each phase relates to the last both structurally and thematically. Languages : English.

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2012. Hardcover. II 276 pages., 17 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503536811. La theorie de l?art s?est largement constituee par le recit : c'est le cas dans l?Antiquite, ou elle s?est developpee par le biais de fragments biographiques dont certaines ont eu a travers les siecles un succes retentissant. Le recueil Millet, qui rassemble les nombreuses references a l?art que l?on trouve dans les ecrits antiques, est en grande partie une collection d?anecdotes. A partir du quinzieme siecle, la theorie humaniste, qui s?est efforcee de penser a la fois l?activite de l?artiste, l?elaboration de l??uvre et son agencement formel, a eu recours a l?analyse et a l?argumentation plutot qu?au recit, mais elle est loin d?avoir rompu avec le mode narratif : Vasari a fait des emules et, pendant plusieurs siecles, le succes des Vies de peintres ne s?est pas dementi, celui des historiettes exemplaires non plus. Le propos de ce volume est… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2003. Hardback, 248 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503514468. This book contains research papers related to the scientific activities in the Ottoman Empire which comprise various scientific traditions, including the Islamic tradition inherited by the Ottoman Turks and carried on by the Arabs, who were part of the Empire and then joined by European peoples, such as the Bosnians and Albanians newly converted to Islam ; as well as the tradition of different Christian peoples living in Anatolia and the Balkans, (e.g. the Greek Colleges where ? new ? science was taught), and the contributions of native Jewish scholars as well as those who emigrated from Andalusia. The Ottoman world had the necessary grounds for the interaction of all these different traditions. The Ottoman Empire held vast lands in Europe and, as a result of the contact with European science from the very early ages, the new scientific European tradition spread in the Ottoman lands for the first time outside its own cultural… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2007. Hardback, XIV+399 p., 2 b/w ill., 9 b/w line art, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503520674. This volume examines forms of interaction between monastic or mendicant communities and lay people in the high Middle Ages in Britain, France, the Low Countries, and Scandinavia. The nineteen papers explore these issues in geographically and chronologically diverse settings in a way that no English-language collection has yet attempted. It brings together the latest research from established as well as younger historians. The first section, 'Patrons and Benefactors: power, fashion, and mutual expectations', examines lay involvement in foundations, the rights held by patrons, and how they used these powers as well as networks of relationships with broader groups of benefactors. The authors demonstrate how changing fashions shaped the fortunes of particular orders and houses and explore how power relations between different types of patrons and benefactors - royal figures, kinship, and… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 1996. Hardback, 123 p., + 99 pl., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503505428. The great paleographer Ludwig Traube was the first to suggest that the actual handwriting of John Scottus Eriugena could be identified. In this new study, the first full examination of the problem of Eriugena's handwriting, the authors not only systematically review the evidence, but suggest a solution. Their identification of the autograph is based upon a detailed palaeographical and philological examination of the surviving examples of the scripts of the two Irishmen who wrote in the twelve ninth-century manuscripts associated directly with Eriugena and his school. Languages: English, Latin.

Turnhout Brepols 2009. Hardback, LXVI+250 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503406817. This volume presents the first edition of the Letters of Iakovos Monachos addressed to the sevastokratorissa Eirene, sister-in-law of the Emperor Manuel I Komnenos (1143-1180). Writing in the late 1140s, Iakovos offers spiritual advice to Eirene, and affirms his support for her in times of trouble. This is a rare example of the correspondence of a Byzantine spiritual father and provides tantalizing glimpses into Eirene's difficult life. Both are significant figures in Byzantine cultural history, Iakovos as the author of the renowned Kokkinobaphos Homilies on the Theotokos and Eirene as a noted literary patroness. The Letters' style is striking. They are constructed almost entirely from a mosaic of quotations from the Cappadocian Fathers and other patristic authors, the most recent being Niketas of Herakleia. Very little can be attributed to the pen of Iakovos himself, leaving questions about his motivation but… Read More
