Hendrik Conscience Library, Johan Bonny Co-auteur: Pierre Delsaerdt
Heilige boeken; Sacred books. jodendom, christendom en islam; judaism, christianity and islam (E/ NL)
Gebonden, Hardcover, 255 x 200 mm, 176 p, throughout colour illustrations, E/ NL edition. ISBN 9789085866732. De Tenach, de Bijbel en de Koran zijn wereldberoemde 'heilige' boeken met een eeuwenoude geschiedenis. Ook vandaag zijn deze boeken nog steeds essentieel en betekenisvol. Ze staan centraal in de geloofsbeleving van joden, christenen en moslims. Deze rijk geillustreerde catalogus vertelt over de vorm, de inhoud, het gebruik en de studie van Tenach, Bijbel en Koran. Drie curatoren (Pierre Delsaerdt, Geert Lernout en Jo Van Steenbergen) selecteerden 45 unieke objecten - 15 uit elke traditie - en lichten de bijzonderheden van elk stuk toe. Het essay van Emilio Platti contextualiseert de gelijkenissen en verschillen tussen deze drie heilige boeken en Herman Van Goethem ontrafelt de herkomst van een Thorarol die in de Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience wordt bewaard. Aanvullend op deze historiserende invalshoek tonen essays van Julien Klener, Johan Bonny en Ahmed Azzouz aan hoe levend en relevant de boektradities ook vandaag nog zijn. The Tanakh, the Bible and the Qur'an are 'sacred' books known throughout the world and with a history dating back over centuries. Today these books are still as elemental and significant as they ever were. They are at the heart of religious life for Jews, Christians and Muslims. This richly illustrated catalogue discusses the structure and content of Tanakh, Bible and Qur'an and explains how these books function in religious practice and study. Three curators (Pierre Delsaerdt, Geert Lernout and Jo Van Steenbergen) have selected forty-five unique exhibits - fifteen from each religion - and elaborate on particular aspects of each piece. The essay by Emilio Platti puts into context the similarities and differences between these three sacred books, while Herman Van Goethem unravels the origins of a Torah scroll kept at the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library. In addition to this historical approach, essays by Julien Klener, Johan Bonny and Ahmed Azzouz demonstrate the vitality and relevance still enjoyed by these religious books today.

MASTER PIERRE PATELIN: A FARCE IN THREE ACTS -- A Unique Copy
Boston MA: Walter H. Baker & Co 1914. HC. very good red cloth hardcover. B&W illustrations. PATELIN belongs to a series of farces which had come mysteriously into being as early as 1277 when a little piece called THE BOY AND THE BLIND MAN was performed at Tournay. Most of these farces have been lost but the hundred and fifty or so that happen to survive show clearly enough what must have been the character and range of all. Published in wraps this copy was bound in red cloth and presented to the author William Stone Booth to who this work is dedicated. Tipped in the rear are two letters from the author to Stone discussing the work and how the dedication should be written. Also signed and dated by Stone on the front free endpaper. 121pp. Walter H.
