‎Ecocriticism and Old Norse Studies. Nature and the Environment in Old Norse Literature and Culture‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 312 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604848.‎

‎Summary Ecocriticism and Old Norse Studies is the first anthology to combine environmental humanities approaches and the study of premodern Nordic literature and culture. The chapters gathered here present innovative research based on the most recent developments within ecologically informed literary and cultural studies. Covering a wide variety of sources, the volume provides new insights into the Old Norse environmental imagination, showing how premodern texts relate to nature and the environment ? both the real-world environments of the Viking Age and Middle Ages, and the fantastic environments of some parts of saga literature. Collectively, the contributions shed new light on the role of cultural contacts, textual traditions, and intertextuality in the shaping of Old Norse perceptions and representations of nature and the environment, as well as on the modern reception and (mis-)use of these ideas. The volume moreover has a contemporary relevance, inviting readers to consider the lessons that can be learned from how people perceived their environments and interacted with them in the past as we face environmental crises in our own times.

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 454 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, 48 musical examples, Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9782503608464.‎

‎Summary The music heard in Italian cinema along the arch of the three decades highlighted in this book, has not only made history but has become an unspoken of patrimony of humanity. This book provides a platform to build a lasting tribute to those composers who were, indeed, the ?sounding? protagonists of hundreds of films - from Fellini's La dolce vita to Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso to a myriad of cultural documentaries and productions made for cinema and television. The book is divided into three parts comprising essays on the music of Nino Rota, lesser-known composers yet important on the national circuit like Carpi, Gervasio, Vlad, and Chailly, and four essays dedicated to the towering figure of Ennio Morricone whose legacy will continue to hover over Italian cinema of the 50s-70s for many decades to come. An introductory essay, 17 chapters annotated and provided with musical examples, tables, and iconographic material written by internationally known academics specialised in Italian film music; bibliographies and abstracts following each essay; biographies of the contributing authors; and an index organized by names and subjects, make this volume an indispensable research tool free of geopolitical barriers and ideological constrains in the bourgeoning field of Film Music.

‎Summary Medieval memoria - the commemoration of the dead - was both a form of collective memory and a social practice present in every sphere of life. It shaped identities and constituted groups, and thus the study of commemorative practices can tell us a great deal about medieval communities. This study shows the importance of memoria as a form of collective memory for different groups and institutions: city government and guilds, the Teutonic Order, bishops and cathedral chapters, and monastic communities, in late medieval Livonia (present-day Latvia and Estonia).

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 268 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:45 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503595948.‎

‎Summary Starting from a political reality, which is, at the same time, artistic and cultural, the book Ars Hasburgica aims to review the still so common historiographical conception of the Renaissance that conceives this period from a geographically Italocentric, artistically classicist and politically centered the idea of "national" arts and schools. But Renaissance is a more global and complex phenomenon. What this book aims to offer is an idea of the art of that period that considers the role played by the Habsburg dynasty and its various courts in this period, trying to verify whether, by applying other historiographic models, and having the art of the Casa de Austria as a focus, traditional ideas can continue to be maintained well into the twenty-first century. We refer to the so-called "Vasari paradigm", on which art history of the sixteenth century has largely been built over the last centuries. It is also intended to structure concepts about the art of the period not so much around nationalist considerations and identities of the arts, but to raise these issues throughout ideas such as that of the court as a political, artistic and cultural sphere, in the wake of the classical studies by Norbert Elias, Amedeo Quondam or Carlo Ossola.

‎Summary The Scythians have fascinated investigators since the time of Herodotus. This study examines the bronze and silver coinage of the kingdom of Scythia Minor in Dobruja at the mouth of the Danube River, a Scythian successor state that emerged in the second century BCE after the breakup of Scythia Magna. It is based on a corpus of over 1,500 coins, more than ever before, and draws upon scholarship in nine languages, including hard-to-find sources from Bulgaria, Romania, USSR, Ukraine, and Russia. The much-debated chronology of the six kings of Scythia Minor (Kanites, Tanousas, Charaspes, Ailis, Sariakes, and Akrosas) is determined through literary evidence, inscriptions, die linkage, shared monograms, coin hoards, and counterstamps. Metrological analysis distinguishes four denominations, plus the alterations and debasements of the weight standard during the troubled reigns of Ailis and Sariakes. Fifteen counterstamps that appear on Scythian coins are attributed to the local Greek poleis of Callatis, Tomis, Istros, and Dionysopolis. An inventory of four hoards and 47 findspots of single coins identifies the mint site, Dionysopolis. The volume concludes with a catalog of 63 major coin types and 15 counterstamps, plus bibliography and index.

‎Summary Archaeology as a discipline has undergone significant changes over the past decades, in particular concerning best practices for how to handle the vast quantities of data that the discipline generates. Much of this data has often ended up in physical ? or, more recently, digital ? archives and been left untouched for years, despite containing critical information. But as many recent research projects explore how best to unleash the potential of these archives through publication, digitization, and improved accessibility, attention is now turning to the best practices that should underpin this trend. In this volume, scholars turn their attention to how best to work with and shape archaeological archives, and what this means for the field as a whole. The majority of case studies here explore archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, some of which are conflict zones today. However, the contributions also showcase more broadly the depth of research on archaeological archives as a whole, and offer reflections upon the relationship between archaeological practices and archival forms. In so doing, the volume is able to offer a unique dialogue on best practices for the dissemination and synthetization of knowledge from archives more generally, whether physical or digital.

‎Summary The Liber de ordine creaturarum is an anonymous Latin work with an Irish provenance that dates back to the seventh century. It presents the creation as the divine handiwork and is notable for serving as both a commentary on the Hexaemeron (Six-day Work) in Genesis and as one of the earliest works of systematic theology. Although previously attributed to Isidore of Seville, the Liber de ordine creaturarum is far more than a mere compilation of 'authorities.' Instead, it emphasizes the inherent order that exists within the creation itself.

‎Summary Written transmission relies on the fact of 'publication,' the step between the authorial process and reception. But what does 'publishing' mean in the context of a manuscript culture, in which books were copied slowly and singly by hand? This is a fundamental question. If one fails to appreciate the act of publication, one's understanding of any authorial work and its reception from any period will remain defective. The case studies in this volume ask what it meant for medieval and renaissance authors and their associates to publish. The contexts under scrutiny range from England to Italy, from hagiography to literary criticism, and from Carolingian monasteries to renaissance libraries. Medieval publishing remains undiscovered territory in the main. This volume constitutes a first effort towards a long-term narrative, from the ninth to the sixteenth century.

‎Summary GARDEN TRANSMISSIONS: WORD, IMAGE, EXPERIENCE, FUTURE examines the ways in which the exchange of garden forms, designs, technologies, and styles created a global garden culture at the intersection of nature and cultural expression from the early modern age to the present. Europe, at the center of this global exchange, drew inspiration from Islamic and Chinese garden traditions and benefitted from the traffic of botanical novelties from the Americas. In turn, European models were successfully exported to other parts of the world and adapted to other landscapes, environments, and climates. The appropriation of new design ideas, methods, and trends resulted in new garden types and invigorated earlier approaches to horticulture. These garden transmissions?effected through the exchange of writing and images as well as direct contact between cultures?provided the tools for fruitful cross-pollination of knowledge and skills as a mode of mediation between humans and nature.

‎Ideology and Patronage in Byzantium. Dedicatory Inscriptions and Patron Images from Middle Byzantine Macedonia and Thrace‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 177 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:55 b/w, Language(s):English, Greek. ISBN 9782503605326.‎

‎Summary Based on the evidence of epigraphic material in combination with monumental painting, this book explores important dedicatory inscriptions (9th-beginning of the 13th c.) from Macedonia and Thrace, which have so far been investigated mainly from a philological-historical standpoint, thus neglecting the major issue of Middle Byzantine patronage. Through patron inscriptions and textual sources, the role and the motives of military officials in the patronage of defensive and fortification works, and the manner of publicizing them, are examined systematically. Patronage is looked at through the ideological messages that the donors endeavor to promote in a local society or monastic community, and which echo their relationship with the state and their views on education and faith. The new interpretations presented in this book result from the collation of historical, prosopographical, archaeological and visual data, which offer valuable evidence about military patronage, the relation of the donation to the personal life of the donor and his family, the spiritual life of monasticism and the building complex of the monastery, and the relationship between inscriptions, space and iconography. Interesting methodologically is the co-examination of the various categories of inscriptions in combination with historical texts and donor portraits, which opens up new avenues of research for the study of the interdisciplinary material in question.

‎Marina Rheingantz. The FRAC Auvergne welcomes for the first time in France the Brazilian painter Marina Rheingantz. Her paintings and embroideries are nourished by the recollection of Brazilian landscapes, memories of the compactness of the earth, of light and its variations, of the atmospheric nebulousness of twilight, of the pointillist scattering of birds in the sky, of the emergence of clusters of flowers and shrubs, of mounds emerging from the surface of flooded plains? Painting landscapes today cannot be envisaged without the awareness of the incongruity and inactivity of such a subject. Painting landscapes cannot be separated from the conviction that such a subject ? historically exhausted ? can still be tackled, especially if one keeps in mind a banality that is always good to remember, namely that a painting is first of all the story of a look at something: the painting tells the way in which the painter?s gaze has landed on his subject before depositing it on its support.‎

‎This book rediscovers the Antwerp painter Jan Massys (c.1510-1573) and his artistic milieu. / The painter Jan Massys (c. 1510-1573) trained under his father Quinten, succeeding him after his death (1530) at the head of Antwerp's most famous workshop. However, his career, destined for certain success, was abruptly cut short in 1544. Condemned for joining the Loysts sect, he had to flee Antwerp, finding refuge perhaps initially in France and at one point in Italy. Only in 1555 was he able to return to his homeland, regaining his artistic leadership within a few years. His oeuvre consists exclusively of works for private use and is characterized, in particular, by the depiction of elegant and seductive nude or half-naked female figures, protagonists of biblical or mythological subjects. The identification of the patron of the 1561 Venus with the view of Genoa (Stockholm, Nationalmuseum) in the person of the noble Genoese banker Ambrogio di Negro, offered the possibility of reconstructing the social context of the artist's clientele and his relations with those intellectuals ? both Genoese and Flemish-who gave life to the lively humanist academies of Antwerp. The figure emerges of a cultivated and particularly refined painter, who shared with his patrons the ideals of neo-Petrarchan poetry and executed paintings of great preciousness, characterized by a meticulous and skillful painting technique.

‎Summary Contrairement la grandeur ou la dignit , la question de la beaut de l'homme n'a gu re retenu l'attention des commentateurs. Trop souvent r duite la seule beaut corporelle, elle est jug e secondaire, relevant de l'histoire sociale des apparences ou de l'esth tique. l'inverse, le propos de cet ouvrage est de montrer que la beaut joue un r le essentiel dans la dignification de l'homme, en s'appuyant sur les deux grandes traditions qui ont model l'id al de perfection humaine jusqu' l' ge classique : d'une part, le culte antique de la beaut , revivifi au Moyen ge par la Renaissance du xiie si cle et magnifi l' ge humaniste avec le d veloppement des arts plastiques ; d'autre part, la tradition chr tienne dans laquelle l'homme, cr l'image et selon la ressemblance de Dieu (Gn 1, 26), porte en lui une tincelle de la divine Beaut . Ainsi entend-on r fl chir moins la beaut elle-m me qu'au sens de la beaut , par un dialogue entre th ologie, philosophie, litt rature et th orie de l'art. Se r v le alors toute la complexit de la question marqu e par une tension constante entre recherche de l'id al et paradoxes, beaut plastique et beaut vivante, beaut corporelle et beaut spirituelle, kalokagathie et th orie sil nique de l'opposition entre ext rieur et int rieur, beaut visuelle et beaut musicale, beaut de l'homme et beaut de Dieu.

‎Padre Martini's Closed and Enigmatic Canons with Solutions by Luigi Cherubini. A 19th-Century Guide into Renaissance Music Riddles‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 336 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:76 b/w, 6 tables b/w., 95 pages of musical scores, Language: English. ISBN 9782503608471.‎

‎Summary Every chapter of the three volumes of Giovanni Battista Martini's Storia della Musica begins and ends with an enigmatic canon: 72 puzzle canons, which formed the subject of debate in the 18th and 19th centuries. Luigi Cherubini proposed solutions for all canons, forming a pedagogical collection designed to reveal the secrets of the enigmatic canons practice to 19th-century musicians. Cherubini explained in detail how each proposed solution was reached. The resolutions are all based on a 'Table of Latin words', a list of enigmatic expressions. For each expression, Cherubini gives an explanation detailing how they must be interpreted in order to find the resolution of the riddles. Practically 56 expressions from Cherubini's 'Table of Latin words' can be identified in Renaissance treatises. Until the first half of the 16th century, a canon was a formula that musicians would put into action to create one or more parts of music ? the 'canon' was just the formula and not the music itself. Explanations of such formulas were compiled in Renaissance music treatises. It is this journey ? the one enigmatic expressions took as they travelled from the Renaissance into the 19th century ? that Luigi Cherubini's complete edition of proposed solutions to Padre Martini's enigmatic canons seeks to illustrate.

‎Pietro Metastasio?s Operatic Storm. Texts and Musics for Didone abbandonata, Alessandro nell?Indie, Artaserse, Adriano in Siria, and Demofoonte‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 480 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503604367.‎

‎Summary Pietro Metastasio (1698-1782) can be considered as the most renowned operatic dramatist of eighteenth-century Europe. His drammi per musica travelled all around Europe - and beyond - throughout the eighteenth century and the early years of the nineteenth. Courts, palaces, and public theatres were eager to perform his dramas, and so hundreds of composers set them to music, sometimes on more than one occasion. This volume lets the surviving textual and musical traces speak for themselves. As a catalogue of the sources of five of Metastasio's most successful titles - Didone abbandonata, Alessandro nell'Indie, Artaserse, Adriano in Siria, and Demofoonte -, it offers their most complete chronology up to date, as well as a detailed presentation of the printers and the theatres in which these texts became alive. In the case of the majority of these works, thousands of manuscripts and copies attest to more than one hundred complete musical versions and over two hundred and fifty productions. They may thus rightly be considered witnesses to the operatic fever that took Europe by storm in the Enlightenment.

‎Opus circa speculare enigma universi‎

‎Summary Although he has not yet been widely studied, Heymericus de Campo - Heymeric van den Velde - (1395-1460) played a role of some importance among the philosophers of the 15th century. He worked as a Master of Arts at the University of Cologne, where he was the main representative of the followers of Albertus Magnus (Scola Albertistarum), as member of the Bursa Laurentiana. He subsequently became a professor of theology and rector of the University of Louvain in 1435. The Opus circa speculare enigma universi corresponds to this final period of his career. In this treatise, Heymericus presents a diagram that represents the principles of universal knowledge. The so-called enigma universi constitutes, according to Heymericus, a certain ?exemplar, paradigm or visible mirror image of the archetypal world.? Although it does not contain any illustration, the entire work is concerned with a detailed description and interpretation of the enigma. It is a geometric image composed of four circles and four concentric triangles, colored in blue, green, red and black on a white background, through which the human intellect is able to reflect its intellectual knowledge on sense and imagination. Aunque su obra a n no ha sido ampliamente estudiada, Heymerico de Campo -Heymeric van den Velde- (1395-1460) tuvo un papel relevante entre los fil sofos del siglo XV. Trabaj como Maestro en Artes en la Universidad de Colonia, donde fue el principal representante de la Scola Albertistarum, la llamada Bursa Laurentiana. Despu s de lo cual se convirti en profesor de teolog a y rector de la Universidad de Lovaina en 1435. El Opus circa especulare enigma uniuersi corresponde a este ltimo per odo de su carrera. En esta obra Heymerico describe un diagrama que representa los principios del conocimiento universal. De hecho, el llamado enigma uniuersi, del que trata la obra, constituye, seg n Heymerico, cierto ?ejemplo, paradigma o imagen especular visible del mundo arquet pico?. Aunque no contiene ninguna ilustraci n, toda la obra se ocupa de una interpretaci n detallada del enigma. Se trata de una imagen geom trica compuesta por cuatro c rculos y cuatro tri ngulos conc ntricos, coloreados en azul, verde, rojo y negro sobre un fondo blanco, a trav s de la cual el intelecto humano debe poder reflejar su conocimiento intelectual en los sentidos y la imaginaci n.

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 637 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Language: Italian. ISBN 9782503584058.‎

‎Summary This catalogue collects Italian biblical works issued from the beginning of print to the middle of the 17th century. The abundant literature had multiple uses: the transmission of the sacred text, its interpretation, preaching, religious education, and devotional uses (meditation and prayer). It was also used as a foundation of learning and general knowledge, ethics, professional practices (i.e. in medecine and politics), domestic piety and everyday life, as well as literary and theatrical entertainment. This catalogue will help to reconstruct the access to the Bible by Italian lay people. It contributes to the historiographical debate on how Italians could read the Bible after the ban of biblical translations. It represents an extremely rich source of information for future research about authorship, readership and the very nature and use of this production, shedding light on forgotten bestsellers of Italian Renaissance.‎

‎Summary The aim of this book is to examine the social, political and cultural consequences of 'collective forgetting' in the Middle Ages. Since the seminal work of Maurice Halbwachs, historical research has focused on 'collective memory' as the basis of social cohesion. Jan Assmann has introduced the slightly different concept of 'cultural memory', which he sees as a constitutive condition of political organisations and their stabilisation. Drawing on this Assmannian concept, this book examines this other process of 'collective forgetting'. Cet ouvrage ambitionne d'examiner les cons quences sociales, politiques et culturelles de l'oubli collectif au Moyen ge. Depuis les tudes fondatrices de Maurice Halbwachs, la recherche historique s'est int ress e la m moire collective en tant que fondement de la coh sion sociale. Jan Assmann a introduit le concept l g rement diff rent de m moire culturelle , condition constitutive selon lui des organisations politiques et de leur stabilisation.

‎Painters and Sitters in Early-Seventeenth Century Rome. Portraits of the Soul‎

‎Summary Significant innovations in portraiture occurred during the transitional period from the end of the sixteenth-century to the early seventeenth-century in Rome. Portraits by Annibale Carracci, Valentin de Boulogne, Anthony van Dyck, Simon Vouet and Gianlorenzo Bernini display a loosening of formality and a trend towards movement. These artists produced a portrait type that was more inclusive of the viewer, more communicative, more revealing of a private face. The portraits in this study were less likely to celebrate achievements, family or social standing, titles, rank or station. Instead they portray individuals who exist apart from their professional personae. They reveal unique and characteristic traits of their subjects captured at a particular moment in time. They used subtle affetti, painting technique and colour to express mood and atmosphere and evoke the presence of the sitter. The sitters include poets, courtiers, buffoons and the artists themselves, and each composition is attentive to the thoughts, emotions and imaginative life of the individuals.
