‎Acquisition through Translation. Towards a Definition of Renaissance Translation‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 380 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, Languages: English, Italian, German. ISBN 9782503589541.‎

‎Summary The definition of translation in Renaissance Europe is here proposed as a process of acquisition: the book studies how a number of European languages, finding their identification in the newly evolving concept of nation, shape their countries' vernacular libraries by appropriating ancient and contemporary classics. The emergence of standard modern languages in early modern Europa entailed a competition with the dominant Latin culture, which remained the prevalent medium for the language of science, philosophy, theology and philology until at least the eighteenth century. In this process, translation played a very special role: in a number of significant instances we can identify in the undertaking of a specific translation a policy of acquisition of classical - and by definition authoritative - texts that contributed to the building of an intellectual library for the emerging nation. At the same time, the transmission of ideas and texts across Europe constructed a diasporic and transnational culture: the emerging vernacular cultures acquired not only the classical Latin models, incorporating them in their own intellectual libraries, but turned their attention also to contemporary, or near-contemporary, vernacular texts, conferring on them, through the act of translation, the status of classics. Through the examination of case studies, that take into account both literary and scientific texts, this volume offers an overview of how early modern Europe developed its vernacular national literatures, following the model suggested in the late Middle Ages, through a process of acquisition and translation.

‎Summary Ambiguum 10 is an important sample of Maximus the Confessor's philosophical exegesis, which has not received concentrated scholarly attention so far. This volume includes a new critical text edition by Prof. Carl Laga and a new English translation by Dr. Joshua Lollar. It also offers a unique insight into the universe of the great Christian thinker, showcasing his extensive knowledge of Aristotelian, Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy and offering possible parallels with the Corpus Hermeticum and Ps-Dionysius the Areopagite. The present volume is the first attempt to bring together scholars from different traditions to understand the message and the reception of this seminal work. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

‎Summary At a time when we reflect intensively on the issue of social cohesion, on the influence of architecture in lifestyles, and on relationships between neighbourhoods within large modern cities, this book aims to approach the study of "inhabiting modes" in Roman urban dwellings. Drawing on concepts common to historical anthropology and incorporating evidence from multiple lines of research (archaeological, iconographic, textual, and others), this volume aims to contribute to the invigoration of a social history of ancient housing through new research projects, publications, and digital tools from both individual and collaborative efforts. This field of study is currently undergoing a period of disciplinary revitalization and this volume is an opportunity to present the most recent work and to conduct a dialogue in an interdisciplinary perspective.

‎Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

‎Antwerpen, privaat uitgave Elaut., 2023 Softcover, 136 pages, rijkelijk ge llustreerd in kleur, 24x22cm ISBN 9789464782462.‎

‎Brussel viert dit jaar 130 jaar art-nouveau-architectuur. In Antwerpen mogen we schrijven over 125 jaar. In 1897-98 zijn de eerste art-nouveauwoningen ontworpen. Toonaangevende architecten zoals Alexis Van Mechelen, Jos Bascourt, Emile Thielens, Jules Hofman en Ernest Stordiau bijten de spits af. Antwerpen heeft meer dan 100 art-nouveaugebouwen waarvan er heel wat beschermd zijn als monument. In het Antwerpse straatbeeld zijn de ontwerpen van de architecten Frans Smet-Verhas en Emiel Van Averbeke niet meer weg te denken. Zoals het 'Volkshuis Help U Zelve' en de huizengroep 'De Vijf Werelddelen' beter bekend als 'Het Bootje'. Dit boek brengt eindelijk het gebouwde art-nouveau-erfgoed in de stad Antwerpen in woord n beeld in kaart, degelijk en voor een breed publiek. Het steunt op heel veel archiefonderzoek en plaatsbezoeken en brengt daarom ook veel nieuwe gegevens aan het licht, zeker over diverse bijzondere priv -interieurs die tot nu gesloten bleven. Het verruimt ook de kennis over de Antwerpse art nouveau, die tot nog toe vaak al te veel beperkt bleef tot de Cogels-Osybuurt. De bijdragen van de beide gastauteurs (Dr Mario Baeck en Tom Peeters) vestigen de aandacht op drie belangrijke sierende elementen in de Antwerpse art nouveau: moza eken, tegeltableaus en sgraffiti. De beroemde Brusselse kunstenaar Paul Cauchie heeft in Groot-Antwerpen meer dan 200 gevels met sgraffito gedecoreerd.‎

‎Baracoa, bakermat van de Cubaanse cacao, is een noodzakelijk boek. Cacao is immers een autochtoon product waarvan het belang nog niet voldoende wordt benadrukt. Het boek exploreert de kenmerken die Baracoa onderscheiden als de Cubaanse en misschien zelfs Latijns-Amerikaanse en Cara bische stad waar cacao de sterkste sporen heeft achtergelaten en waar in vergelijking met andere producerende landen, reeds lang vervlogen tradities werden bewaard. Baracoa, hoofdstad van de Cubaanse cacao, is een complexe en rijke culturele ruimte waar een eeuwenoude landbouwactiviteit specifieke culturele kenmerken heeft, die bepalend zijn voor de identiteit van die plek.‎

‎The human history of color, The earliest forms of human creativity in carvings, markings, and cave paintings bear witness to humanity's engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton's Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color dictionary of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz Wada. also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.‎

‎A mirror on fashion and mass media in a powerful photographic work by Cindy Sherman. The book accompanying the first Cindy Sherman exhibition in the Low Countries Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) is known for her pioneering work in photography, through which she explores themes of identity, gender and social roles by transforming herself into different personas in a variety of staged scenes. Anti-Fashion approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective, focusing on the interaction between fashion and art. She uses her many commissions for magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and her close collaboration with famous designers as a constant source of inspiration. Conversely, this contemporary artist also continues to influence the aesthetics of the fashion world today, providing essential impulses. Sherman expresses her interest in fashion in a subversive way: her photographs depict people that are anything but desirable, contradicting all conventions of haute couture and the usual representations of beauty. Her wide range of characters shows the artificiality and mutability of identity, which seems more selectable, (self-) constructed and fluid than ever before. Companion publication to the exhibition Cindy Sherman at FOMU (Fotomuseum Antwerpen) from 28 September 2024 until 2 February 2025.‎

‎Crusading, Society, and Politics in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Age of King Peter I of Cyprus‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 630 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:38 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503598567.‎

‎Summary The King of Cyprus, Peter I of Lusignan (1359-1369), was one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the Latin East and the later crusades. He was involved in European power politics, his crusading activities brought him into conflict with the Turkish beyliks of Anatolia and the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt, and his rule was closely linked with broader developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, such as the decay of Byzantium, the East-West schism, and the beginning of the Ottoman expansion in the Balkans. His adventurous life constitutes a captivating case study of court life, feudal and chivalric ethos, and political culture in the fourteenth century. This volume investigates developments in the Eastern Mediterranean before and during the reign of Peter I from a comparative perspective. It consists of five parts, which treat the political, diplomatic, and ecological context of the crusading movement in the time between the fall of Acre (1291) and the sack of Alexandria (1365), Peter I's crusading policy and the Alexandrian crusade, Cypriot society and court life in the time of Peter I, the situation in Muslim-Turkish Anatolia, the second target of King Peter's crusading policy, and, finally, Byzantium, its encounter with the Turks, the schism of the Churches, and theological trends in the time of the Hesychast Controversy.

‎Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This is the first of two Terra Sacra volumes, which share the aim of changing our understanding of the environmental impact of crusading and colonization in northeastern Europe. The present volume provides a detailed inter-disciplinary comparison of the environmental transformations associated with the emergence of the crusader states of Livonia and Prussia. It draws on and integrates a range of archaeological, paleoenvironmental, historical, and cartographic sources in order to highlight the diverse impact of colonization and landscape reorganization that followed in the wake of the Baltic Crusades. The companion Terra Sacra volume complements this survey by presenting a number of case studies from across the eastern Baltic region.

‎Summary This volume is an introduction to eleven of the main medieval Eastern Christian historians used by modern scholars to reconstruct the events and personalities of the crusading period in the Levant. Each of the chapters examines one historian and their work(s), and first contains an introductory examination of their life, background and influences. This is then followed by a study of their work(s) relevant to the Crusades, including the reasons for writing, themes, and methodology. Such an approach will allow modern researchers to better understand the background and contexts to these texts, and thus to reconstruct the past in a more nuanced and detailed way. Written by eleven eminent scholars in their fields, and examining chronicles written in Armenian, Greek, Syriac, and Arabic, this book will be essential reading for anybody engaged in research on the Crusades, as well as Eastern Christian and Islamic history, and medieval historiography.

‎The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive offers a unique window into early modern Florentine society through an exploration of the archives of the Medici ruling family. Teeming with circa three million letters, the archival collection of the Medici grand dukes housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence chronicles the culture and history of Europe and beyond, across a span of over two hundred years. The letters of this collection, known as the Mediceo del Principato, embrace a great variety of themes including diplomacy, art, medicine, food, science, and warfare. Since its contents originate from a court archive that served both the state and a ruling family, this collection comprises administrative, political, and financial correspondence, as well as more private and intimate accounts of the Medici themselves and their activity at court. At the same time, it would be a great misconception to assume that this enormous archival corpus pertains just to Florence or just to the Medici, given that the vast majority of these missives were written by ambassadors, agents, and informants stationed throughout Europe. This volume, The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive, aims to unlock not only the complex structure of the Mediceo del Principato but also the richness of its content. The sixteen essays address a variety of topics ? book history, Ottoman relations, collections of New World artifacts, medical history, gender studies, and material culture ? all with direct reference to the Medici grand duchy. The original research that supports these studies was drawn in part from the Medici Archive Project's online platform (BIA) for querying over 350,000 digitized and/or transcribed letters. Making use of these and other original sources, the essays in The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive shed new light on the mechanisms and strategies that enabled Florence to emerge from decades of internecine confl ict and diplomatic chaos in order to enjoy cultural and political prominence.

‎Holbein's Wit. Pictorial Ingenuity in Renaissance Art‎

‎Summary Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543) is renowned as an outstandingly realistic painter-the acme of Renaissance naturalism. In fact, he was a purveyor of cunning ambiguity. Holbein's Wit: Pictorial Ingenuity in Renaissance Art reveals the artist at play, juggling the uncertainties and paradoxes that arise in the enterprise of imitation. Spanning Holbein's career in Basel and London, and encompassing his portraits, devotional paintings, and designs for prints and the decorative arts, the book explores this celebrated artist's subtle pictorial wiles. Holbein was immersed in the multi-faceted world of Renaissance ingenium or 'wit', which could mean innate talent, mental acuity, generative capacity, and a person's unique nature. In dialogue with witty patrons such as Desiderius Erasmus and Thomas More, Holbein advanced an ingenious kind of artmaking characterised by visual jokes, puns, and internal contradictions. Responding to humanism's literary conceits with an inventive visual language, he upended conventional assumptions about naturalism and the status of painting to assert the worth of an autonomous artistic intelligence.

‎Integrated Peasant Economy in Central and Eastern Europe. A Comparative Approach‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 264 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503590042.‎

‎Summary Income integration based on the peasants' engagement in non-agrarian sectors is a prominent and widespread feature in the history of the European countryside. While listing a multitude of activities outside the narrow scope of farm management aimed at self-consumption, prevailing interpretations emphasize how survival was the goal of peasant economies and societies. The "integrated peasant economy" is a new concept that considers the peasant economy as a comprehensive system of agrarian and non-agrarian activities, disclosing how peasants demonstrate agency, aspirations and the ability to proactively change and improve their economic and social condition. After having been successfully applied to the Alpine and Scandinavian areas, the book tests this innovative concept through a range of case studies on central and eastern European regions comprising Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine. By enhancing our knowledge on central and eastern Europe and questioning the assumption that these regions were "different", it helps overcome interpretive simplifications and common places, as well as the underrepresentation of the "eastern half" of Europe in scholarly literature on rural history. That's why the book represents a refreshing methodological contribution and a new insight into European rural history.

‎Languages and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in Renaissance Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 433 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601816.‎

‎Summary Although much work has been done in the field of Renaissance Studies, at present there is no book which offers a comparative overview of the linguistic interaction between Renaissance Italy and the wider world. The present volume is intended to fill this void, representing the first-ever collection of essays that deal with multiple types of language contact and cross-cultural exchanges in and with respect to Renaissance Italy (1300?1600). We bring diverse disciplinary perspectives together: literary scholars, historians, and linguists with different regional expertise; we argue for multilingualism and language contact as products of a period of dynamic change which cannot be fully grasped through a single framework. The contributions present a variety of case-studies by often cross-fertilising their approaches with other disciplinary lenses. This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of a truly global Renaissance Italy where languages, textual traditions, and systems of knowledge from different geographical areas either combined or clashed. It takes a fresh approach to the history of late medieval and early modern Italy by focusing on East/West linguistic and cultural encounters, transmission of ideas and texts, multilingualism in literature (various genres and various forms of multilingualism), translation practices, reception/adaptation of new knowledge, transculturalism and literary exchanges, and the relationship between languages and language varieties.

‎, Paris Mus es, 2018 hardcover, 160 pages 31 x 25 x 2,2 cm ENGLISH *NEW ISBN 9780847864256.‎

‎Timed to coincide with a major exhibition, this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the Antwerp group of six who changed the face of contemporary fashion, Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury -- monochromes, oversize volumes, and his signature constructed-deconstructed cuts - whose credo is comfort, timelessness, sensuality, and authenticity. Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.‎
