‎Centuries of Darkness: Challenge to the Conventional Chronology of Old World Archaeology‎

‎Hard Cover in dj. Fine/fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 434 pages with b/w illustrations. The old world has confronted archaeologists with many riddles, perhaps the most tantalising of which is the Dark Age, an economic and cultural recession so devastating it lasted for 400 years from 1200 to 800BC. Or did it? The dates for the near east and Mediterranean are derived from the highly regarded chronology of ancient Egypt, but could not that itself have been miscalculated? This is the pioneering theory proposed by Peter James in an intricate piece of scholarly detective work.‎

‎RARE historical-critical study of the Book of Esther by Sigmund Jampel (1874-1934), an eminent Galician Bible scholar and rabbi who was among the first Jewish Bible scholars who recognized the value of archaeological and epigraphical finds for establishing the antiquity of the historical accounts of the Bible and the questioning of Wellhausen's hypotheses. This study takes into account the archaeological excavations of Susa, which authenticated the description of the royal palace in the Book of Esther, and includes an appendix by Marcel-Auguste Dieulafoy (1844-1920), a French archaeologist, noted for his excavations at Susa (modern-day Shush, Iran) in 1885. Contains many excerpts in Hebrew. 220x150mm. VIII+165 pages. Quarter-cloth marbled board Hardcover with gilt spine. Front cover slightly scratched. Cover and spine rubbed and somewhat stained. Cover edges and corners, and spine edges bumped and slightly peeling. Pencil marks on few pages and title-page. Few pages wrinkled. Several pages and text block edges slightly age-stained.

‎Summary In the Late Republican period, Rome underwent monumental changes. Within the city, numerous building projects were undertaken by the wealthy and politically powerful as they jostled for power, while further afield, wars were fought and Rome's authority gradually expanded into new territories. One of the key players in this field was Julius Caesar, who took advantage of the fluid and fast-changing political and military alliances to position himself in the centre of power. During this time, he became the first to design a forum ? the Forum Iulium, now known as Caesar's Forum ? in his family's name. Today, this site, in the very heart of Rome, is home to The Caesar's Forum Project, where excavations have yielded new knowledge about both the long history of Rome, and the broader context of its global history and cultural heritage. Taking this project as its starting point, this volume draws together scholars working both on the excavations, and on Caesar more generally, to shed new light on the often enigmatic figure of Julius Caesar. The chapters gathered here offer insights into remains and sources from both the time of Caesar and from later periods, giving new perspectives not only on his life and death, but also on the central role that he has ever since continued to play in historiography since.

‎Antwerpen , Stockmans, 2021 Softcover, 128 pages, illustrations in color, 26,5 x 22 cm, paperback, English text: The book has an introduction by mathieu and annelies of goodcopy.ink and a work by Rinus van de Velde. 1/250 numberd copies Signed. ISBN 9789464363142.‎

‎Between March 2020 and November 2021 Bram Van Meervelde and Jan Lemaire went beachcombing on the banks of the river Schelde. The treasures and trouvailles were compounded in the book Jutten designed by Jean-Michel Meyers. . Why is it two men in boots keep trudging the mud in search of shards of the past? But a year has passed and on it goes, the larking, the scouring, the scavenging. One tea towel after another filled with coins, marbles, pipes. Finds have a strange hold over us. There?s a magic to them that shines on a lot longer than the soon fading glimmer of things we intentionally choose. That purposefulness is probably what kills our enthusiasm after a week or so. Because when we make a choice, there?s too much of ourselves in the object already. We don?t deem a consciously picked item deserving of a tea towel display. The more trash we?ve dug through to get to our treasure, the more it becomes. Hence the mud-crusted trouvailles. We?ve had to make our hands dirty and?like any good romance?half the pleasure lies in the hunt. So we go hunting for crap that?s out of place. Crap that becomes a find, simply because it was lost. A diamond is nothing very special in a jewellery store, but it?s everything when found among discarded fish. Yet maybe the real reason for this endless trawlings for trinkets is another story altogether. Not that of a seventeenth-century mariner tossing a coin into the Scheldt to buy a safe passage, but the belief that we're not the ones that find the perfectly rounded rock, it's the pebble that finds us. For all its muteness, it speaks to us.‎

‎, Maklu Antwerpen, 2020 Paperback, 138 pagina's, 24 x 16 x 0,9 cm. illustraties. ISBN 9789044137644.‎

‎Is Antwerpen ooit een Romeinse stad geweest? In dit boek wordt eerst ingegaan op de stand van zaken in het archeologisch onderzoek. Daarna komen de geschreven bronnen aan bod en de belangwekkende historische besluiten die daaruit kunnen worden getrokken voor de ontstaansgeschiedenis van de stad, aansluitend bij de archeologische gegevens. Belangrijk voor het zelfbeeld van de Antwerpenaren zijn echter ook de vele legenden die door de eeuwen heen rond het ontstaan van de stad zijn geweven, vaak met politieke bedoelingen. De meest markante daarvan is wel de stelling dat het Antwerps de taal was van het Paradijs? Met bijdragen van Jan M.F. Van Reeth, Guido Cuyt, Alfred Michiels en Toon van Hal. Jan M.F. Van Reeth is classicus en ori ntalist. Hij is onder meer voorzitter van het Nederlands Klassiek Verbond en doceert over godsdienstgeschiedenis van het Nabije Oosten. Hij publiceerde bij Garant het boek Kalam over Arabische theologie.‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers , 2016 Hardback, 297x210mm, 364p, 896 bw and col. illustrations. Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9789461613011.‎

‎Tussen 1269 en 1322 kenden de Vlaamse munthuizen van Ieper, Brugge, Gent, Aalst, Dendermonde, Ninove en Damme een grote bloei. Die viel samen met het bewind van de graven Margaretha van Constantinopel, Gwijde van Dampierre en Robrecht van Bethune. In deze publicatie worden alle grote zilveren munten die in deze periode in de Vlaamse munthuizen werden geslagen besproken en bestudeerd. Uniek aan dit overzichtswerk is dat alle munten in vrijwel alle varianten zijn afgebeeld. De Vlaamse muntslag wordt in een breed historisch kader geplaatst waardoor de publicatie zich richt tot iedereen die geboeid is door de geschiedenis van Vlaanderen in de late dertiende en de vroege veertiende eeuw. Jean-Claude Martiny is secretaris van het Europees Genootschap voor Munt- en Penningkunde. Eerder publiceerde hij bij Uitgeverij Snoeck het driedelige standaardwerk Het Munthuis in Gent.‎

‎archeologie van leren schoeisel in de middeleeuwen en nieuwe tijden in Vlaanderen : een chronologische, technische en typologische studie : analyse en interpretatie‎

‎, Spa-Uitgevers,, 2020 Paperback, 2 dln 547 en 251 pp. Rijk ge llustreerd. . ISBN 9789089320445.‎

‎Na de boeken over schoeisel van Goubitz en Volken volgt hier het derde grote standaardwerk over schoenen, maar dan specifiek over Vlaanderen. In totaal heeft Jan Moens 38 leerensembles onderzocht, waarvan er 20 voorzien waren van een absolute datering en de overige 18 gedateerd konden worden op ander vondstmateriaal. Methodologisch worden twee kenmerken ge ntroduceerd om schoenzolen te determineren, op basis van de gelenginsnoering en de zoolsymmetrie. Voor het bovenleder is een werk-typologie opgebouwd die rekening houdt met de bestaande typologie n van Goubitz en Volken. Zooltypen en neustypen willen veranderen in de door Jan Moens vastgestelde vijf tijdvakken. Sommige schoentypen komen maar in een korte periode voor, andere daarentegen over een heel lange periode. Primaire snijpatronen veranderen ook in de loop der tijd. Er wordt ook aandacht besteed aan de productieprocessen van schoenmakers en schoenlappers en waar deze beroepen hun activiteiten uitoefenden binnen de stedelijke context. Als vondstcomplexen voldoende grote aantallen zolen opleveren, kan gekeken worden naar de demografische samenstelling, de verdeling kinderen-volwassenen. Ook blijkt dat kinderschoenen vaak een kleine maat volwassen schoenen betreft, hoewel bepaalde typen meer in trek zijn bij kinderen. Het is een uitvoerige studie geworden waarbij alle mogelijke aspecten aan de orde komen. Leeronderzoekers hebben deze studie nodig mede door nieuwe inzichten en als aanvulling op de reeds eerder verschenen werken.‎

‎Art and the Sacred in Mumuyeland‎

‎Hardcover, HB, 280 x 210 mm, 144 pages , 90 illustrations, English edition. fine! ISBN 9789058566003. Despite some field research our knowledge of the sacred among the Mumuye is still embryonic. In all these acephalic groups of a binary and antinomic nature, the complex va constitutes an extremely varied semantic field in which certain aspects are accentuated depending on the circumstances. Religious power is linked to the strength contained in sacred objects, of which only the elders are the guardians. Moreover, this gerontocracy relies on a system of initiatory stages which one must pass to have access to the status of 'religious leader'. Geographically isolated, the Mumuye were able to resist the attacks of the Muslim invaders, the British colonial authority and the activities of the different Christian missions for a long time. As a result the Mumuye practised woodcarving until the beginning of our century. In 1970 Philip Fry published his essay on the statuary of the Mumuye of which the analysis of the endogenous network has so far lost nothing of its value. Basing himself on in situ observations, Jan Strybol attempted to analyse the exogenous network of this woodcarving. Thus he was able to document about forty figures and some masks and additionally to identify more than twenty-five Mumuye artists as well as a specific type of sculpture as being confined to the Mumuye Kpugbong group. During and after the Biafran war, hundreds of Mumuye sculptures were collected. Based on information gathered between 1970 and 1993 the author has demonstrated that a certain number of these works are not Mumuye but must be attributed to relic groups scattered in Mumuye territory.‎
