‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1996 Paperback, 230 p., + 88 Plates, 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503505145.‎

‎This Buddhist text has a long history and enjoyed great popularity in many Asian countries. It incorporates dogmatic treatises and reflects several ancient cults devoted to the historical Buddha Sakyamuni as well as several Bodhisattvas. Of the three Chinese translations form the original Sanskrit text the one by Yi Jing (7th century) became the basis of further traditions. Fragments of a translation from this Chinese version into Old Turkish around the 10th century, were found by the numerous and famous Central Asian expeditions in Gansu as well as in the Turfan oasis. For the critical edition of the forewords and the first two chapters, all surviving manuscripts and blockprints (altogether two in Petersburg and about twenty in the Turfan Collection of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) have been collated. Parts missing in the Petersburg manuscripts are here edited for the first time. The edition is accompanied by a German translation as wellas a commentary on textual and Buddhological problems. All available remnants are reproduced in facsimile on 120 plates. Languages: German.‎

‎Vimalakirtinirdesasutra. Edition altturkischer Ubersetzungen nach Handschriftfragmenten von Berlin und Kyoto. Mit einem Appendix von Jorinde Ebert. Ein Vimalakirti-Bildfragment aus Turfan,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2000 Hardback, 205 pages., 190 Abbildungen, 210 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503509570.‎

‎Das Vimalakirtinirdesasutra, mit den Worten E. Lamottes "le joyeau du bouddhisme", ist eines der beruhmten Mahayana-Sutras und hat besonders in der Geschichte des chinesischen Buddhismus einen bedeutenden Platz erhalten. Vollstandig ist dieses nur in tibetischer und chinesischer Sprache uberliefert, nicht aber in Sanskrit, wo jedoch zahlreiche Passagen als Zitate vorkommen. Die mongolische Version ist direkt von der tibetischen abhangig. Auf die sanskritische Version gehen nicht nur die tibetische, sondern naturlich auch die chinesischen Fassungen zuruck, von denen immerhin drei unterschiedliche Ubersetzungen erhalten sind. Aus dem alten Zentralasien waren bisher Fragmente vor allem in khotansakischer und sogdischer Ubersetzung bekannt. Wahrend die erstere von der sanskritischen Tradition abhangig ist, wurde die letztere aus der chinesischen Fassung des Kumarajiva ubertragen. Einige wenige altturkische Fragmente in sogdischer Schrift wurden von D. Fedakar herausgegeben, die hier als Handschrift S mit eingearbeitet wurden. Mit der vorliegenden Ausgabe weiterer Vkn-Fragmente in mehreren in uigurischer Schrift geschriebenen Handschriften (A-I, X) lasst sich ein betrachtlicher Teil des Sutras in altturkischer Ubertragung rekonstruieren. Fur das Verstandnis des Vkn selbst ergeben sich partiell einige interessante Aspekte. Languages: German.‎

‎Buch von der Sundentilgung. SET. Edition des altturkisch-buddhistischen K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Paperback, LI+607 p., 120 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503526218.‎

‎The book is the first comprehensive edition of all hitherto identified fragments of the K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig in Old Uygur (Old Turkic) culled from several collections of Central Asian manuscripts in Germany, Russia, China and Japan. The text is a translation in 40 chapters of a Chinese Buddhist work (Cibei daochang chanfa) which belongs to the apocrypha. It testifies to the strong influence of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the second millennium A.D. among the Uygurs. The objective of the work, which was intended to be recited during a ritual, is the expiation of sins. Another aim was to rescue the patrons' relatives from a life in unfavourable births among hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals etc. Remarkable is the insertion of what must have been originally about a thousand Buddha names numerous of which are preserved in the Old Uygur version.

‎altturkische Kommentar zum Vimalakirtinirdesa-Sutra,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Paperback, 237 p., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503541570.‎

‎The book is the first edition of the Old Turkish commentary on the Vimalakirtinirdesa-Sutra. All fragments that were identified belonging to this commentary are now preserved in the Berlin Turfan Collection. The relevant commentary may have been based on a Chinese text, whose author was a representative of the Tiantai school. However, some lines in the Old Turkish version are the additions of the Uyghur translator or, more specifically, author and clearly show the strong influence of the Yogic'ra school, which was then studied with keen interest in Dunhuang, the neighbouring city of Turfan. This fact indicates the close relationship between this Uyghur author and the Buddhism in Dunhuang. Moreover, the Old Turkish version of the Vimalakirtinirdesa-Sutra (published by Peter Zieme as Berliner Turfantexte XX) is preserved. The comparison between these two texts shows, however, that both texts were independently translated into Old Turkish. Languages: German.‎

‎Carte des routes et des cites de l'est de l 'Africa' a la fin de lAntiquite. Nouvelle edition des 'Voies romaines de l'Afrique du Nord' concue en 1949, d'apres les traces de Pierre Salama,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Paperback, 345 pages + Two maps of Northern Africa, Five maps, 220 x 280 mm. new. ISBN 9782503513201.‎

‎In 1951, Pierre Salama published a book in Algiers entitled Voies romaines de l'Afrique du Nord, which featured a map of the road network at the scale of 1:1 500 000, printed as soon as 1949. Fifty years later, a group of Africanists have decided to publish this new map using the layout that Pierre Salama had been working on since the 70's, based on overlays of the map of the French National Institute of Geography (IGN) at the scale of 1:500 000, but only for the western part of the Maghreb. The IGN printed this layout on a geographical mother map with colours, an indication of landforms and river system. The authors have also written an introduction providing the necessary information to the reader approaching road archaeology without former training. The sites identified on the map are dealt with in notes with varying degrees of detail. The notes give the Ancient and Modern names justifying the identification and location of each site. They also provide a summary of the main steps of their administrative history and describe the main archaeological remains for the different periods of occupation. This 'New Salama Map' could not be published before the recent death of our friend and colleague, but was submitted to his careful scrutiny and approval. Pierre Salama avait publie a Alger, en 1951, un volume sur les Voies romaines de l'Afrique du Nord qui contenait une carte au 1/1.500.000e du reseau routier, imprimee des 1949. Cinquante ans plus tard, un groupe d'africanistes s'est propose de publier la nouvelle carte dont, depuis les annees 1970, P. Salama preparait le trace, sur des calques de la carte de l'Institut de Geographie National francais au 1/500.000e, mais seulement pour la partie orientale du Maghreb. L'IGN s'est charge d'imprimer ces traces sur un fond de carte geographique en couleurs, indiquant le relief, attenue, et l'hydrographie. Les auteurs ont aussi prepare une introduction apportant l'essentiel des precisions necessaires au lecteur qui aborderait l'archeologie des routes sans etudes prealables. Les sites localises sur la carte font l'objet de notices plus ou moins detaillees, indiquant les differents noms antique et moderne qui justifient l'identification et la localisation, resumant les etapes essentielles de l'histoire administrative et decrivant les principaux vestiges archeologiques pour les differentes periodes de son occupation. Cette ? nouvelle carte Salama ? n'a pu paraitre avant le deces recent de notre ami et collegue, mais elle avait ete examinee et approuvee par lui. Languages: French.‎

‎Wim Delvoye Intropective bevat bijdragen van meerdere belangrijke auteurs als Adrian Dannatt, Bernard Marcade, Dirk Snauwaert en Bart Verschaffel, die het werk op een verschillende manier benaderen en interpreteren. De Brit Adrian Dannatt en de Belg Dirk Snauwaert die al sinds lang nauwe contacten hebben met de kunstenaar, werpen een kritische en persoonlijke blik op de kunstenaar, zijn leven en zijn werk. De Franse kunstcriticus Bernard Marcade interpreteert het werk op een eigenzinnige manier op basis van themas als de proliferatie, het barbaarse, de pragmatische utopie of het tactische conformisme. In een meer iconografische benadering, belicht de Belgische filosoof Bart Verschaffel het werk van deze uitvinder van de hedendaagse kunst vertrekkend van tien belangrijke werken. Het prachtig geillustreerde boek dat in nauwe samenwerking met de kunstenaar tot stand kwam, wordt vervolledigd met een levendige en geillustreerde biografie van de hand van Olivier Duquenne.‎

‎Munich, Hirmer Verlag - Replica Workshop ? National Museums of Berlin , 2012 144 pages, 100 colour illustrations, 20 x 27 cm, hardcover. FINE ISBN 9783777447513.‎

‎In the 19th century plaster replicas of historical art objects represented the fulfilment of the old dream of a museum which contained the world?s masterpieces. The Berlin manufactory provides a journey through different cultures from antiquity to the present. Berlin?s cast workshop was founded in 1819 and is the oldest and largest of its kind. Goethe and the brothers von Humboldt were already among its customers. To this day, this institution continues to sell hand-painted replicas of major sculptures which are defined by their artistry and workmanship. Since its foundation, the supply of casts has been steadily increased to 7,000 works. Thanks to this ongoing and enormous supply, and the techniques of the manufactory, which were handed down from generation to generation, it has been possible to maintain the exceptionally high standard of Berlin?s plaster cast tradition. Its repertoire already exceeds the expansive inventory of the Berlin State Museums. Not only masterpieces of these museums, such as the bust of Nefertiti and the Pricesses Luise and Friederike by Schadow are included, but also the best-known works from other important collections. The Laocoon Group and Rodin?s Thinker are among these famous plaster casts. The 100 examples in this magnificently designed and richly illustrated volume provide a comprehensive insight into the achievements and work of plaster casting. This book also pays tribute to the art of creating plaster replicas as an important cultural technique of the 19th century, a time when these artworks played a very important role not only in museums and private and study collections, but also served to decorate private homes.‎

‎In Spring 2012 the Museo d'Arte of Lugano will present in Villa Ciani a wide retrospective of the work of Tony Cragg (Liverpool, 1949), one of the most significant artists in the contemporary scene. Through some forty sculptures and assemblages, and a hundred drawings and etchings, the exhibition will retrace the artist's creative history from the late Seventies up to the most recent works. The exhibition in Lugano, and its accompanying catalogue, will however not be a simple presentation of the wide range of visual ideas and forms generated by the artist in the course of the years. The selection of the works on display and their sequence will also allow, together with the works on paper, to grasp the logic and the creative processes which lie at the basis of the most revolutionary shapes in contemporary sculpture. The catalogue will also include texts by Marco Franciolli and Guido Comis, as well as an interview to Tony Cragg never published before. English/ IT edition‎

‎Stylish and colourful, Italian ceramics of the 1950s-70s reflect the vibrant fashions, latest developments in ceramic design, and modern art of the period. Although made in large quantities and exported around the world, little is known about the companies and designers who behind them. From Bitossi to Bertoncello, and from Fantoni to Fornasetti to the many potteries on San Marino, this book breaks open a treasure chest of mid-century modern ceramic design including the rediscovery of a forgotten factory. Illustrated with over 380 stunning, specially commissioned, full colour photographs, this is the first publication to identify and bring together many of the leading factories and designers, and examine the diverse influences behind these highly varied and innovative ceramics. A specially written, illustrated introduction puts them in context, and an extensive illustrated directory of marks and labels helps you identify your ceramics. Contents include: -Over 380 stunning, specially commissioned full colour photographs. - Chapters open with a detailed history of the factory or pottery including full biographical details of designers and their inspirations and influences. A ?Hallmark Design? box gives more details about their most iconic and successful design. - Chapters on Bagni, Bitossi & Aldo Londi, Bertoncello & Rigon, Desimone, Fratelli Fanciullacci, Fantoni, Fornasetti, Gambone, and potteries on San Marino including Libertas and Marmaca. - A chapter on other makers, including objects from Mancioli, La Freccia, Pucci, and the many factories in and around Florence and Deruta. - The book closes with an illustrated chapter of marks and labels, with pages dedicated to marks used by Bagni, Bitossi, Fratelli Fanciullacci, and distributors and importers such as Raymor and Rosenthal Netter‎

‎Corpus of Cuneiform Texts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art II Literary and Scholastic Texts of the First Millennium B.C,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2005 Hardback, XLIV+490 p., 220 x 285 mm. ISBN 9782503517407.‎

‎This important scholarly work is volume two in a series of four volumes that will publish all the more than six hundred cuneiform tablets in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Included are 106 religious, scientific, scholastic, and literary texts, written in Sumerian and Akkadian and primarily dated to the latter part of the first millenium b.c. They shed new light on the civilization of the ancient Near East - on its complex beliefs and customs and surprisingly vast knowledge of mathematics and astronomy - for both the contemporary scholar and interested reader. The texts are organized in five sections: Documents of the Temple Cult include hymns and prayers, rituals and petitions; Documents of the Incantation Priest, Diviner, Physician, and Magician reveal various categories of omens; Literary Texts present myths and legends; The Scholastic Tradition contains a variety of texts and lists, including mathematical and astronomical texts; and the final section covers Unidentified Fragments. Among the most important texts are No. 42, a fragment of the Babylonian version of the ancient Flood story, and No. 81, which attests to the intellectual achievement of Babylonian astronomers. Eighteen distinguished international scholars in the field have contributed transliterations and translations of each tablet, and these are accompanied by commentaries and by insightful introductory essays on each genre. The volume was assembled and edited by Ira Spar, Professor of Ancient Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey, and W. G. Lambert, Professor Emeritus of the University of Birmingham, England. Lambert also contributed several entries and a general introduction that provides contextual information about the transmission of the literary and scholastic tradition in pre-Hellenistic Mesopotamia. The precise facsimile drawings of every tablet hand-made by Ira Spar are a valuable visual accompaniment to the text. This publication reaffirms the Museum's ongoing commitment to promote wider knowledge of Ancient Near Eastern civilization. And significantly, it appears at a time when better understanding of the history and culture of that region of the world holds particular relevance. Volume one of this series (1988) documents 120 tablets, cones, and bricks from the third and second millenia b.c. Volume three (2000) covers private archive texts from the first millenium B.C. Volume four, in preparation, will include an edition of cuneiform tablets written in the first millenium b.c. and inscriptions on bricks, cylinders, and prisms of royal records of the kings of Babylon and Assyria.
