‎Plaisir des yeux, les chefs-d'?uvre sont aussi des documents de leur temps. Ils racontent les joies et les angoisses des epoques lointaines, les passions et les tourments, la vie quotidienne des petites gens et les rivalites des grands, les tromperies, les aspirations, la mort et bien sur l'amour. C'est parfois avec une precision toute documentaire que les peintres nous devoilent la realite et le reve des siecles passes : Holbein nous montre des diplomates a la cour anglaise, Bruegel un mariage dans une grange, Rubens, Delacroix et Ingres decrivent les fantaisies erotiques de leur societe ; a Paris, Manet fete la decouverte de l'electricite et Rivera decrit une promenade dominicale dans un parc au Mexique.‎

‎ROSENZWEIG FRANZ. AN OVERLOOKED MASTERPIECE‎

‎Stern der Erl�sung.‎

‎Frankfurt Kaufmann 1921. Royal 8vo. Original half cloth binding with the illustrated and printed cardboard-boards. Hinges weak internally and externally and cloth here a bit torn. Overall a very good copy of of this very fragile original binding the cloth is very thin and fragile and usually totally ruined making the work quite scarce in the original binding - which has the David Star on the front board. Internally very nice and clean. 532 pp - 2 leaves of advertisement. � The uncommon and in original binding fairly scarce first edition of this overlooked masterpiece by one of the most significant Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. The work should rightfully be considered one of the most important philosophical productions of the 20th century and ought to rank with Heidegger's "Sein und Zeit". <br><br>The work which Rosenzweig wrote while in the trenches of the First World War is the attempt to articulate the place of man in Creation. In Rosenzweig's dense prose various strains come together and are reconciled: Judaism and Christianity on the one hand and German idealism and nascent existentialism on the other.<br><br>This grandiose synthesis both builds on and distances itself from Rosenzweig�s doctoral dissertation on Hegel�s concept of the state which still ranks among the most significant 20th century contributions to the literature on Hegel. By its ambition of going beyond the format of academic philosophy to embrace the reality of human existence Der Stern der Erl�sung could be compared to Sein und Zeit Martin Heidegger's first major work which was published in the same year. And it is exactly the towering influence of Heidegger on 20th century philosophy that has overshadowed Rosenzweig's work which has however only gained in prominence in recent years especially through the writings of Emmanuel Levinas on whom Rosenzweig was a major influence.<br><br>"Der Stern der Erl�sung" is usually labeled a work of Jewish philosophy and Rosenzweig is rightly considered along with Emmanuel Levinas and Martin Buber his close friend and collaborator as one of the most significant Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. However his scope and vision transcend parochial boundaries and should as we develop a more considered perspective on the last century earn "Der Stern der Erl�sung" a place among its most important works of philosophy. hardcover‎

‎SAVONAROLA GIROLAMO. SAVONAROLA'S MASTERPIECE‎

‎Triumphus crucis de fidei veritate. i.e. "Triumph of the Cross".‎

‎Venice Luca Olchiense 1517 8vo. In contemporary full vellum. Title-page with woodcut vignette rapaired at bottom not affecting text or vignette. Three small holes to title-page and round stamp to lower part of title-page and last leaf not affecting text or vignette. Small repair to lower part of M1 not affecting text. 112 ff. � Rare second latin edition of Savonarola's perhaps most famous and influential work his spiritual masterpiece essentially a celebration of the victory of the Cross over sin and death and an exploration of what it means to be a Christian. <br>On 12 May 1497 Pope Alexander VI excommunicated Savonarola and threatened the Florentines with an interdict if they persisted in harbouring him. On 18 March 1498 after much debate and steady pressure from the government he withdrew from public preaching. Under the stress of excommunication Savonarola composed the present work. <br><br>"In his religious treatise The Triumph of the Cross Savonarola draws on classical triumphal imagery and the tradition of Florentine pageantry as he allegorically depicts the triumph of Christianity in the form of a triumphal procession. Since it is difficult for the human mind to imagine the supernatural and invisible works of Christ the friar argues they need to be presented and visualized in metaphorical form. The image of the triumphal chariot serves this purpose well." Uppsala Universitet Ren�ssansen - mellan medeltid och modernitet.<br><br>Luca Olchiense was active as printer for a very short period of time 1517-18 and the present work is one of the few he managed to complete. <br><br>Adams S520 hardcover‎
