Turnhout Brepols 2004. Hardback, XIV+224 p., 5 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503514888. This book aims to collect and present the results of research done within the context of the project 'The voice of silence / La voz del silencio: An interdisciplinary research project about literate women and women authors in the West-European late Middle Ages (11th to 15th centuries) from a gender perspective'. The project was a bilateral research project, with participants of the University of Santiago de Chile on the one hand and Universiteit Gent on the other. Medieval scholars, literary historians, cultural historians and literary theorists joined forces. The angle from which the material was being studied, however, was always the same: gender being the central issue. The project focused on women as participants in late medieval society and culture. Indeed, all the researchers involved acquired their expertise in the field of 'medieval society and culture' and/or the field of women's… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2013. Hardback, approx. X+298 p., 37 b/w ill. + 8 colour ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503534206. This volume takes as its focus the paradoxical double-bind of textuality and visuality in the culture of the high and late Middle Ages and early modernity. In a series of case studies contributors explore the historical and theoretical implications of the idea that texts and images alike ?speak to the eye?. Some scholars have proclaimed the coming of a ?visual turn? to explain the boom in conferences, books, and even specialized journals that take as their topic the theoretical or historical study of visual culture. The notion of visual culture may seem self-evident, not merely from our own twenty-first-century perspective but also when applied to earlier periods of western European history. However, the nature and status of the visual media, as well as the ways in which these were received, experienced, and appropriated, underwent several major changes between the twelfth and the… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2005. Paperback, IV+226 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503517094. Depuis l'invasion arabo-berbere de la Peninsule iberique en 711, les societes hispaniques chretiennes sont tres affectees par la guerre. Aux alentours de l'an mil, cette guerre prend une nouvelle dimension. Apres une periode de conflits internes et de defaites, culminant lors des fameux raids d'al-Mansur, les principautes chretiennes prennent l'offensive. A cet egard, l'an mil constitue bien un tournant dans l'histoire de l'Espagne chretienne. Vers le milieu du onzieme siecle, la Reconquista est en marche, tandis que quatre forces politiques s'imposent : les royaumes de Leon, de Pampelune et d'Aragon, et les comtes catalans. La multiplication des conflits influe tres fortement sur l'organisation des pouvoirs civils, et implique des enjeux fondamentaux dans la genese des Espagnes chretiennes medievales, qui connaissent alors de profondes mutations culturelles, juridiques et… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2002. Hardback, XX+373 p., 15 x 23. ISBN 9780888448163. The scholarship of Jocelyn Nigel Hillgarth touches the whole history of medieval Spain, the history of Christianity and its institutional practices, and the medieval intellectual achievement. The essays by students and friends gathered here honour the remarkable reach of that lifework and the sympathies in which it remains rooted. Essays by David Abulafia, Anthony Bonner, Harvey Hames, and Charles H. Lohr explore the writings of the Majorcan scholastic, reformer and missionary, Ramon Lull. The broader history of Spain may be found in Jacques Fontaine's consideration of the eponymous founder of Spain, Hispalus; in Manuel C. Diaz y Diaz's discussion of royal liturgy in Visigothic Spain; in Lucy K. Pick's examination of the tenth-century queen-regent of Leon, Elvira; and in Mark Meyerson's exploration of the fate of the Jews of Morvedre (Sagunto) in 1348. Other papers study the complex interaction between the… Read More

Prestel 2012. Hardcover, 228 pages, ENG, 290 x 270 x 25 mm, dustjacket, NEW !, Full Page Coloured Photographs, Not just another photobook.... ISBN 9783791346892. Filled with startling portraits of Africa's raw and tragic beauty, this first retrospective of Peter Hugo's award-winning work collects the most important images from the photographer's career to date. Pieter Hugo has been documenting his native continent of Africa since his late teens. An autodidact, he was eventually drawn to portraiture, an interest that culminated with his hugelypopular book, The Hyena and Other Men. Since that book, Hugo has continued to earn high praise while testing the limits of the traditional portrait. As Aperture magazine observes, "Hugo maneuvers through the muddy waters of political engagement, documentary responsibility, and the relationship of these to his own aesthetic." In the books Nollywood and Permanent Error he suffuses a journalist's perspective and a voyeur's theatricality… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2009. Paperback, VI+196 p., 1 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503519845. This book retraces the nature and role of credit in the pre-industrial European countryside. As part of an ongoing examination of credit and its provision in European past societies, the nine papers collected in this volume offer further insight into the ways in which credit was provided and managed, as well as the opportunities which credit may or may not have presented in effecting economic and social change between c. 1200 and c. 1850. In these respects, the papers in this volume add to a developing investigation of the history of credit and of indebtedness in northern Europe, which also coincides with a continued interest in the structures of credit evident in studies of southern European societies. The present volume also, for a broad North Sea region, develops a concentration upon the economic and social history of credit from the late medieval period to the early nineteenth century. The themes here are… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2003. Paperback, VI+421 p., 9 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503507217. Le manuscrit, issu de la bibliotheque ducale, fait allusion a des evenements qui se sont produits entre 1454 (date du recit du Banquet de Faisan de Lille et du "registre" des voeux prononces par le duc et les nobles) et 1463/64 (date de la Bulle de croisade de Pie II et de l'Epitre a la Maison de Bourgogne). Il a du etre etabli a ce moment, dans un contexte difficile, pour rassembler des arguments en faveur d'une croisade a laquelle Philippe le Bon etait sur le point de renoncer. Les voeux, en partie inedits, expriment un sentiment d'appartenance au monde bourguignon, une adhesion aux ideaux de l'Eglise, mais aussi une analyse realiste de la situation. Un index des "vouhans" eclaire la diversite de leurs personnalites et fait vivre un milieu. Loin d'etre consideres domme des "serments apres boire", ces voeux apparaissent, a la lumiere des textes… Read More

Peeters Leuven, 2023. softcover, 245 pages, 25x 17cm. ISBN 9789042950306. Studia Academiae Belgicae , nr. 3 / In 2019, in commemoration of Pieter Bruegel's death 450 years ago, the Academia Belgica dedicated an international symposium to Bruegel and Italy. The proceedings of this scientific meeting have now been published in the most recent volume of the Acta Academiae Belgicae. Although Bruegel spent about two years in the peninsula, remarkably little of his Italian artistic production has been preserved and the impact of Bruegel's encounter with Italy is not immediately noticeable in his oeuvre. Why then did Bruegel go to Italy? To formulate possible answers, the authors consider not only the master and his work, but also the cultural and artistic exchange between Italy and the Low Countries before, during and after his Italian journey. They trace the conditions, traditions and networks that motivated and shaped Bruegel's dialogue with Italy, thus opening new paths in the research of… Read More

Peeters Publishers 2023. softcover, XIV-221 pages, Illustrated. ISBN 9789042950306. Pieter Bruegel the Elder is best known for his peasant and winter scenes, archetypal images of the Low Countries, but his masterpieces always manage to transcend the local. A defining element in his hybrid landscapes are the Alpine rock formations he observed on his way to or return from Italy. Bruegel travelled to the peninsula around 1552, and his sojourn lasted about two years. Though remarkably little of his artistic production in Italy has been preserved, later compositions demonstrate that Bruegel must have journeyed to Rome, and then as far as Naples and Messina. The purpose of this book is to reassess Bruegel?s encounter with Italy within a broad cultural-historical context and in light of recent scholarship. Communication between Italy and the Low Countries was intense during Bruegel?s time, as were artistic, political, and economic relations. While Italo-Netherlandish ties interconnected Bruegel?s world on… Read More

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2020. Hardback IV+408 pages ., 227 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. Languages: English. ISBN 9781912554027. The first detailed survey of the representation of music in the art of Renaissance Italy, opening up new vistas within the social and culture history of Italian music and art in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Visual representations of music were ubiquitous in Renaissance Italy. Church interiors were enlivened by altarpieces representing biblical and heavenly musicians, placed in conjunction with the ritual song of the liturgy. The interior spaces of palaces and private houses, in which musical recreations were routine, were adorned with paintings depicting musical characters and myths of the ancient world, and with scenes of contemporary festivity in which music played a central role. Musical luminaries and dilettantes commissioned portraits symbolising their personal and social investment in musical expertise and skill. Such visual representations of music… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2007. Hardback, XX+228 p., 1 b/w ill., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9782503523989. This volume surveys recent studies of the metaphorical and material facets of food in medieval and early modern Europe. Ranging from literary, historical, and political analyses to archaeological and botanical ones, this collection explores food as a nexus of pre-modern European culture. Food and feasting are understood not simply as the consumption of material goods but also as the figurative and symbolic representations of culture, which Mauss has termed a 'total social fact'. To understand the myriad ways in which discourses about food and feasting are mobilized during this period is to better understand the fundamental role food and feasting played in the development of Europeans' habitual patterns of behaviour and of thought.

Brepols - Harvey Miller 2006. Hardcover. 396 p., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503519913. Aux XIVe, XVe et au debut du XVIe siecle, le processus de creation litteraire devoile un nouveau rapport de l'auteur a son ?uvre sous-tendu par le souci de donner corps a un livre, de donner vie a un objet qui transmettra un ecrit. Cette singuliere preoccupation vehicule un etonnant acte de foi en l'avenir, en une permanence que les aleas de la tradition manuscrite, voire de la reception contemporaine, dementent parfois. Centrees sur la preoccupation pour la materialite jusque dans ses plus infimes details, les contributions rassemblees dans ce volume font revivre les auteurs et les ?uvres medievaux dans le concret de l'espace manuscrit, et leur conferent ainsi un nouvel eclairage, que n'apporte pas la seule lecture litteraire. Trente specialistes de l'histoire du livre et de la litterature presentent, dans ce volume issu du 2e colloque… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2004. Paperback, 242 p., 98 b/w ill., 240 x 340 mm. ISBN 9782503521718. This volume is a collection of new essays by art historians from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States dedicated to shedding new light on the complex historical interrelationship between functions and decorations within architectural settings. It concentrates on the historical context of works of art, that is their ritual embedding in liturgy, ceremony and habit. The authors thereby focus on a particularly rewarding object, namely the Vatican Palace as it appeared between the 13th and the 16th century. The contributions consider various aspects: the Vatican's medieval textile decorations, the impact of ceremonial concerns on architectural form, the relationship between music and ceremony, Pinturicchio's and Raphael's wall paintings in the papal apartments, the decorations of the Cappella Paolina and the Sala Regia, the history of the Vatican Library, and also… Read More
