Dans les annees 400-410, un groupe d'ascetes menes par Honorat s'installe sur la plus petite des deux iles de Lerins, au large de Cannes, donnant ainsi naissance a l'un des premiers etablissements religieux d'Occident. Ce ?«desert?» monastique devint tres tot un pole d'attraction sans equivalent sur les plans spirituel. intellectuel et social. ainsi qu'un lieu d'essaimage, fournissant personnel. structures d'autorite et systeme de valeurs a la societe de l'Antiquite tardive. Au Moyen Age, les moines leriniens batirent, a partir de leur ile, une puissante Eglise seigneuriale commandant un vaste reseau de prieures et de dependances, engagee au service de la papaute et dans la lutte contre les ennemis de la foi, tels que les Sarrasins. t;histoire de Lerins est bien celle d'une Eglise dominant la societe de son temps.

Turnhout Brepols 2011. Hardback, VIII+304 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503533759. This volume presents essays on early modern Latinity, which examine both humanist Latin and Latinists' responses to Otherness of various kinds. The essays in this volume, many of which are in dialogue with Francoise Waquet's Latin or the Empire of a Sign, showcase some of the most exciting and sophisticated new work in the field of neo-Latin studies. They illustrate the significance of 'Latinity' for understanding the early modern world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and will be of interest not only to neo-Latinists but to students of the modern European vernaculars, social historians of language, lexicographers, intellectual and scientific historians, and to cultural and cross-cultural historians. Under the second term of the title, 'Alterity', our volume explores humanist Latin's 'opposition' to mediaeval Latin and the modern vernaculars; the 'otherness' of… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2013. Paperback, VIII+504 p., 15,6 x 23,4. ISBN 9782503545103. Jean de Nostredame est connu pour la publication en 1575 des Vies des plus celebres et anciens poetes provencaux que la critique medieviste a souvent critique ou denigre pour ses ?« inventions ?». Camille Chabaneau avait mis au jour des proses historiographiques qui revelaient l'ampleur d'un travail historique et litteraire, d'une pensee linguistique au coeur du XVIe siecle provencal. Par l'edition des Memoires Historiques, realisee d'apres le manuscrit original d'Aix-en-Provence, la place de Jean de Nostredame est ainsi considerablement reevaluee. Nous ne sommes pas en presence d'un ?« faussaire ?», mais d'un humaniste provencal dont l'oeuvre et l'action ont ete meconnues, negligees, et que l'on doit relire a l'aune de nos connaissances actuelles. Jean de Nostredame devient ainsi un historien et un ecrivain dont la pensee s'est effacee, et ce a… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2010. Paperback, 368 p., 10 b/w ill., 190 x 290 mm. ISBN 9782503515984. Most of the essays collected in this volume had their origins in a conference entitled Nouveaux regards sur le manuscript 564 de Chantilly/New Perspectives on the Chantilly Codex held on 13-15 September 2001 in Tours, under the auspices of the Centre d?Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance (Universite Francois Rabelais/Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique). The conference was the last in a series of meetings held that week marking the tenth anniversary of the musical research branch, Programme Ricercar. The idea to hold the conference had emerged in 1999 as we ourselves embarked on a collaborative project on this most fascinating of music sources from the late Middle Ages. Our own extended scrutiny of the codex and its contents, which has culminated in the publication of a detailed study and the first colour reproduction of the manuscript made us keenly aware of the significance of this source and its… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2009. Paperback, 289 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503517797. Until the late 19th century the food industry was restricted to a few activities, usually based on small scale industries. The links between agriculture and food processing were very tight. Due to increased purchasing power, population growth and urbanisation, the demand for food grew substantially. This was not only the case for basis products as corn and potatoes, but also and especially for more expensive, quality products as meat, fish and dairy produce. These developments generated, together with the essential technological innovations, the creation and development of modern food processing in specialized shops and factories. In only a few decades these industries transformed from an important complement to the primary agricultural production on the farms to a much comprising industrial business. At the end of the 20th century food processing has evolved into a modern, high-tech industry, dominated by a few large… Read More

Turnhout Brepols 2010. Paperback, 542 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503531816. La loi islamique ou Saria, qui utilise le Coran et les traditions prophetiques, est loin de se confondre avec ces donnees primitives. Elle a peu a peu precise son vocabulaire, sa methode, ses procedes de raisonnement, pour donner lieu a une discipline autonome, le fiqh. Cette science de la loi, impuissante a trouver une expression unique, s'est codifiee dans plusieurs ecoles concurrentes ou rites (madahib) qui finirent, comme on sait, par se reduire a quatre dans l'islam sunnite. Quant a l'histoire du fiqh, elle comporte bien des zones d'ombre. Fort obscure, en particulier, est la periode immediatement anterieure a la formation des ecoles, qui commence avec le iiie siecle de l'hegire (ixe siecle de l'ere chretienne). C'est qu'en effet les documents historiques restent vagues ou contradictoires sur les raisons qui inciterent les eponymes des rites, les imams reputes fondateurs, a faire preuve… Read More

This book is a wonderful conversation between images by the Japanese photographer, Yamamoto Masao (1957), and drawings by the Belgian artist, ARPAÏS du bois (1973). Between two worlds that are thousands of miles apart, between East and West, both artists understand each other perfectly in their shared passion for purity and simplicity - offering so much information and emotion with such a minimum of resources.

Summary The Mediterranean has, for millennia, formed the heart of an intensive trading network of ideas, goods, and people. For the ancient populations of the Levant, Cyprus, and Southern Anatolia, interactions with the sea ? from fishing to seafaring, and from trade to dye production ? were a constant presence in their life. But how did the coastal peoples of the Bronze Age understand the sea? How did living on the shore influence their lives, from daily practices to mythological beliefs? And what was the impact on their conceptual world? This volume seeks to engage with these questions by addressing the relationship between environment, diet, material production, perception, and thought formation through a combination of archaeological analysis and engagement with primary sources, and in doing so, it offers unique insights into the… Read More

Jeux de couleurs, variations de lumière, reliefs saisissants: la palette du photographe compose une fois encore la plus merveilleuse invitation au voyage.

Acc Art Books 1991 1991. Hardcover, 208 pages, English, 285 x 230 mm, book in perfect condition, with illustrations in b/w, . ISBN 9781851491513. This book discusses the connection between the process of early carpet dating and European paintings of the 16th and 17th century. It includes nearly a thousand examples of carpet types which are discussed according to places of origin: Anatolia, Persia, India and Egypt. As early as the 14th century carpets were traded from the Near East to Western Europe. This book focuses on the intersection of two civilizations: Islamic textile art in the form of carpets and Western European painting. Carpets were portrayed by artists in use as floor decorations, as table covers or to cover trunks and chests. The book concentrates on pictorial source material from about 1540 onwards, as Western paintings are indispensable references for the dating of later carpets. The presence of these carpets in paintings has enabled art historians and textile experts to document the… Read More
