2005réf. 160172Toulouse: Universite de Toulouse 2005. Softcover. All VG. Doctoral thesis. 3 volumes identically bound with acetate covers and black cloth spines. 1157 pages across the 3 volumes. Volume I: 428 pp. with no illustrations the main thesis. Volume II: pp. 429 - 1019; documents appendices bw photos. Volume III: The works of Villon listed and pictured. The works studied constitute the period from 1947 to 1963. It retains 943 letters from Villon to Espic and attached documents: biographical historiographic theoretical. The letters and documents are reproduced in the 2nd volume. These sources contribute to a better understanding of the production of the artist as a whole. The first part deals with the correspondence the guiding thread. Analysis description and methodological propositions are stated and lead to a reflection on the relations between the epistolary and the "writings of artists". Next comes a monographic study. The great stylistic passages of the graphic and painted work are studied. The role of Villon in cubism the "Golden Section" is reconsidered. The transition to abstraction and the return to figuration around 1935 are evaluated. After 1945 Villon's representative abstraction embodies the reassuring values of a traditional French painting supported by the art market and the institutions of the Fourth Republic.

Publisher's original buckram covers bound in at rear. Decorated title page initials printer's devices.

In the introduction to the present edition Whibley says that the translation "is a masterpiece untouched by age"--a description equally applicable to the book itself whose contents have scarcely been touched. The French courtier Comines ca. 1445 - ca. 1511 chronicles the reign of Louis XI and the Italian expedition of Charles VIII covering most of the three decades beginning in 1464. The work comprises the first critical and philosophical history to be written after antiquity and it earned for Comines the appellation of "father of modern history." Britannica says that "the graphic style of his narrative and above all the keenness of his insight into the motives of his contemporaries an insight undimmed by undue regard for principles of right and wrong make this work one of the great classics of history." Our translation by Danett the first in English was originally published in 1596 and the present edition uses the 1601 version which includes a life of Comines. The introduction by Charles Whibley gives a biography of Comines and an analysis of his style and ideas. Danett fl. 1566-1601 also translated from various authors a sequel to Comines' work and an epitome of descriptions of the Low Countries drawn from the works of Guicciardini.

réf. 80080hardcover. 8vo marbled boards rebacked in cloth; ex-lib foxed. Paris 1838. First Edition. This treatise is memorable in the history of medicine for overthrowing Hunter's erroneous ideas as to the identity of gonorrhea and syphilis establishing the autonomy of these diseases. Ricord 1800-1889 by his work in the Hopital du Midi Paris reestablished the fundamental part of our present knowledge of syphilis. His analysis of the course of syphilis into three stages which is of course conventional has however performed a great service in making it easier to comprehend the multiform symptoms which syphilis presents. unknown books
