Turnhout Brepols 2003. Hardback, XVI+384 p., 160 x 235 mm. ISBN 9782503512020. The thirteen articles in this volume deal with the Neo-Latin emblem book after the birth of the genre with Andrea Alciato?s Emblematum libellus (1531). While the interest in emblematics has grown considerably during the last decades, the seminal Neo-Latin production has received relatively little attention. In Mundus Emblematicus an international team of experts in the field makes this part of the emblem tradition accessible to a broad scholarly audience. The articles cover a variety of emblem books published at the time, ranging from influential humanist collections (for instance those by Achille Bocchi, Hadrianus Junius, or Joachim Camerarius) to alchemist (Michael Maier) or religious emblems (such as the books of the Calvinist Theodere de Beze, or the Jesuit Herman Hugo). In each paper subjects dealt with include the historical context of the work and its makers, the relation between word and image, the structure of the… Read More

Stichting Kunstboek . Softcover, 22.5 x 17 cm, 128 p., 75 illustraties, tweetalig Nederlands/Engels, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9789058563576. Vision werd in 1986 door Pierre Mazairac en Karel Boonzaaijer ontworpen vanuit de filosofie om een kast als compositie deel van de architectuur te laten zijn. Mede door de maximale flexibele toepassingsmogelijkheden en de uiterst bescheiden vormgeving was dit ontwerp van meet af aan zeer succesvol bij de Nederlandse producent Pastoe. 25 jaar later blijven de mogelijkheden in compositie onbeperkt: van een driedimensionaal relief tot een grafisch raster van lijnen en vlakken, van een serie sideboards tot een architectonisch landschap van volumes. Het boek Vision ? Ruimte voor verbeelding schetst het verhaal van deze jonge klassieker.

Turnhout Brepols 2007. Paperback, VIII+428 p., 342 b/w ill., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503513669. This study focuses on change and continuity within the architecture of the Southern and Northern Low Countries from 1530 to 1700. Instead of looking at both regions separately and stressing the stylistic differences between the classicist North and the baroque South, the book establishes a new, common history of architecture for both parts of the Low Countries during the 17th century. Their reception of Antiquity in the guise of the Italian Renaissance, first introduced in Court circles in the early 16th century, constituted the common heritage on which they built after the political separation. The book also reassesses the position of Netherlandish architecture in the international debate on the Renaissance north of the Alps. New.

Brepols - Harvey Miller 1997. Hardcover. 348 p., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 02150060200. This volume contains papers presented at a conference held in Montreal in September 1995. Focusing specifically on the study of French and English societies in the late Middle Ages, these papers demonstrate the essential role of the written document in the growth of state power and the development of an effective bureaucracy at all levels of government, from kingdoms to principalities, towns and villages. Emphasis is given to analysis of the strategies by which medieval chanceries attempted to control the quality and authenticity of written documents. A first theme of the conference was the production of written records, the conventions and rules governing their form and content, and authorities who defined and enforced these standards. The second theme was the importance of written documents in administration and justice, and the resulting need to devise means of… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2005. Hardback, XXII+266 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503516363. Christine de Pizan (1364-1431) has been recognised as a poet, early humanist and feminist precursor but rarely as political theorist whose works were intended to have a direct impact on the tumultuous politics of her time. The essays in this collection focus on Christine as a political writer and provide an important resource for those wishing to understand her political thought. They locate her political writing in the late medieval tradition, discussing her indebtedness to Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine as well as her transformations of their thought. They also illuminate Christine's 'political epistemology' her understanding of political wisdom as a part of theology, the knowledge of God. New light is thrown on the circumstances which prompted Christine to write on political issues and on her attitude to Isabeau of Bavaria. These essays show that Christine's originality consisted in her capacity to… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 1994. Paperback, 309 p., 153 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503503400. Die Erforschung der Pseudo-Chrysostomica hat seit 1968 mit den Codices Chrysostomici Graeci und mit der Ubersicht uber noch nicht editierte Texte, die M. Geerard 1974 im zweiten Band der Clavis Patrum Graecorum zusammengestellt hat, fur jene Patristiker, die an kritischen Editionen von Homilien arbeiten, grosse Fortschritte gemacht. Die Texte selbst sind aber bisher einem grosseren Kreis interessierter Patristiker nicht zuganglich geworden; wollte man auf kritische Editionen denselben warten, in denen die Uberlieferungsgeschichte anhand aller uns noch zuganglichen Zeugen geklart wird, dann besteht wenig Hoffnung, dass sie in kommenden Jahrzehnten jenen Patristikern und allgemein jenen Philologen bekannt werden, die nicht unmittelbar mit den betreffenden Handschriften selbst arbeiten. Die Clavis von M. Geerard nennt allein 239 nicht editierte Texte, und diese Liste ist bei weitem nicht vollstandig. Sucht man nach einem Weg,… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2004. Hardback, CVI+500 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503050690. The commentary on Aristotle's Peri hermeneias is certainly one of the most important texts in the corpus of Peter Abaelard's works on logic. The author discusses the Aristotelian text in an unbiased and thorough manner without avoiding any difficulties, and thereby addresses all basic issues of classical logic and semantics. The text forms part of the so-called 'mixed commentaries' and is characterised by short self-contained systematic discussions within an explication of the Aristotelian text. Of particular significance are the discussions of predication (chapter 3), future contingentia (chapter 9) and modal logic (chapters 12-14). In 1927, this substantial commentary was edited by Bernhard Geyer. The edition was based on the only manuscript of the text then known to scholarship (Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana M 63 sup., fols. 45r-72r). In 1938, M. Grabmann discovered a second manuscript of the work… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2010. Hardback, XI+260 p., 5 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503528595. This volume of essays concentrates on the effects of preaching in late medieval and early modern Europe, particularly through the concept of charisma, a term introduced into the discussion of religion and politics by Max Weber. Used by Weber, the term indicates the power of a person to move others to action, to animate and mobilize them. The late medieval and early modern periods witnessed the emergence of preachers who became powerful public figures central to the mobilization of populations towards religious reform or crusades. Such preachers were also enmeshed in civic life and the life of courts. Super-preachers like Bernardino of Siena and John of Capistrano shaped opinion on a wide range of issues: the ethics of business, marriage and gender relations, attitudes towards minorities, the poor and social responsibility, as well as the role of kings and other rulers in society. Preaching events were the mass… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2007. Hardback, XX+488 p., 42 b/w ill., 21 b/w line art, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503520605. Gautier de Coinci (c. 1177-1236) was a Benedictine prior, a poet and composer, and the author of several very popular religious works, including a large collection of Miracles of the Virgin in French, which enjoyed a wide circulation during the Middle Ages. Gautier drew on multiple Latin sources for his work, embellishing and personalizing them as he adapted them to his poetic design. Conceiving of his collection of miracles as a complete work, Gautier carefully organized the tales into two books, framing each with authorial exordia and lyrics praising the Virgin. In addition to its obvious literary interest, the subsequent manuscript tradition offers a remarkable panorama of medieval manuscript production, in particular due to the fascinating combination of text, music and illustration. Bringing together a select group of scholars from multiple disciplines (including art history, musicology,… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 1998. Paperback, 240 p., 16 x 25. ISBN 9782503505763. This study presents Walter of Chatillon?s Alexandreis and his exploration of the problems of interpretating not only languages, but also the texts, philosophies, religions and literatures of the past. Walter of Chatillon, the twelfth-century Latin poet now famed for his satirical lyrics, acquired international renown in the Middle Ages for his epic on Alexander the Great, the Alexandreis. This work did for the Middle Ages what Vergil had done for the Romans, proving the ability of the moderni to rival the ancients in learning and the arts. The Alexandreis immediately joined the Aeneid in the medieval paideia and was read in schoolrooms throughout Europe in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The Alexandreis enters into the twelfth-century debate about education. The intellectual world was rapidly changing, as the schools became specialized and professionalized, threatening the hitherto secure position of the liberal arts and… Read More

Empathy is a deep feeling or intuition for kinship transcending self-preoccupied individuality. This book is about empathy in the Middle Ages, before it had a name.The authors begin by tracing the origins of empathy in pre-Christian Antiquity and early Christianity, especially in mysteries of divine justice, by which the good often suffered and the wicked prospered and, as with surgical healing, compassion was manifested by inflicting pain. The authors also explore many facets of empathy's development in the Latin West, criss-crossing the artificial borders of academic departments to reveal interlocking connections that give emotional power to images, whether verbal, pictorial, or performative. In a powerful multi-disciplinary collaboration, they identify conditions and limits of empathy, and areas in which the dynamic between insiders and outsiders forced subversive explorations of… Read More

Such condescending impressions about the peoples living at the 'end of the world' have been adapted by Scandinavian historians who, until recently, have stressed the isolation and the otherness of the North, and ignored the many similarities to the 'culturally more developed' Europe. This collection of articles by Nordic scholars is truly interdisciplinary, covering philology, history, archaeology, theology, and other approaches. It is divided into two parts, the first of which addresses conversion from a broad perspective, while the second is devoted to the consolidation of Christianity and ecclesiastical structures. The book investigates from a fresh viewpoint important aspects of Nordic Christianity in the Middle Ages and discusses to what extent ideas and institutions were adapted to local circumstances. It includes a variety of topics, such as the remnants of… Read More
