1998ill. Si tratta del catalogo della mostra, curata da Jacques Chatelain e Gherardo Priuli e proposta a Lanzo (Circolo degli Artisti, 1-30 agosto 1998). In esposizione uno spaccato della vita rurale d'antan attraverso momenti così importanti del vivere quotidiano alpino quali la marcatura del pane e la decorazione del burro, campo nel quale il contadino-intagliatore ha forse espresso maggiormente la capacità creativa fantastica e simbolica. Palette e forme da burro, marche e sigilli da pane: oggetti di provenienza dall'area alpina occidentale: Piemonte, Valle d'Aosta, Francia e Svizzera.
2020br. In cosa consistevano le cerimonie sotterranee delle streghe e cosa rappresentava la Sibilla appenninica? Dove portava il percorso iniziatico degli alchimisti ancora celato nei labirinti di palazzi e giardini marchigiani? Quali furono i più segreti riti delle sette esoteriche esistite nelle Marche medievali e moderne? Attraverso le pagine del libro, come in un viaggio millenario per le valli di una regione tanto ricca di storie, miti e leggende, con un linguaggio semplice e scevro da pregiudizi, si cercherà di far luce su alcuni aspetti rimasti piuttosto sconosciuti e controversi dalla figura del grande Federico II, lo «Stupor Mundi», ai perseguitati Sacconi e ai ribelli Fraticelli, fino alle congreghe occulte dei Quietisti e degli Spiritisti. Filo conduttore del testo è quello di offrire al lettore una visione alternativa della cultura regionale, scoprendo in luoghi dimenticati e simboli arcani le antiche tracce di rituali e fedi religiose o filosofie. E così, dopo essere usciti dalle metaforiche tenebre, si torna a rivedere le stelle e paradossalmente si giunge alle origini della scienza stessa.

2012réf. 15566Latomus. Fine. Softcover. Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene – the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif’s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general.; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . 2012. 2870312776 .

2010ill., br. I Martiri Tebei erano quei soldati appartenenti alla mitica Legione Tebea, composta interamente da cristiani, al tempo dell'imperatore Massimiano. Quando si rifiutarono di reprimere alcuni galli cristiani, la legione venne decimata ad Agaunum, oggi San Maurizio nel Vallese. Forse potrebbero essere solo una leggenda. Comunque, nel corso dei secoli, i Martiri Tebei hanno generato tutta una serie di tradizioni e miti moderni. All'origine del culto la testimonianza di Sant'Eucherio, vescovo di Lione della prima metà del V secolo, che ha assegnato ai Martiri Tebei un'eco che, a fasi alterne, è giunta fino a noi, trovando nella devozione popolare una notevole affermazione. In questo libro l'autore propone un'analisi approfondita del culto dei Martiri Tebei: vengono studiate le fonti di cui lo storico dispone al fine di comprendere in che modo possano aver alimentato la formazione del culto. Sono fondamentali il capitolo sull'evangelizzazione della regione pedemontana e quello sulla figura del santo martire. Altri capitoli analizzano la biografia di alcuni tebei "famosi" e i molteplici aspetti del culto che trova il proprio fertile humus in riti, culti, reliquie e in una fiorita aneddotica in cui agiografia, leggenda ed echi di pratiche pagane convivono in stretta simbiosi.

1912263p. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding, gold decorated and lettered. Binding has some old spotting and bits of wear. Hardbound. First U.S. Edition. Stephen's important first book, a novel of the Dublin slums that was published in Britain as 'The Charwoman's Daughter'. James Stephens (1882-1950) was left fatherless in the Dublin slums at the age of two. His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings. During this time he published several pieces which focused on Irish national pride, the importance of learning one's Irish language and customs, and remembering the ancient saga heroes. Stephens met many of his great contemporaries during this period including George Russell (AE), George Moore, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, etc. In the year 1912, Stephens published The Charwoman's Daughter and later in the same year his noted work The Crock of Gold. The Crock of Gold was a great success and Stephens moved to Paris so he could concentrate on writing full time. Cynthia Kavanagh who had been his lover since 1907 accompanied him. He later married her in 1919. The Demi-Gods was published in 1914 and in 1915 he moved back to Dublin to become the Registrar of the National Gallery of Ireland (and stayed in that position till 1924). Stephens witnessed the shooting of a man as a result of the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916. This became a turning point for him as the event intensified his patriotic feelings and renewed his interest in old Irish literature. Stephens moved to London in the year 1925. He began a series of lecture tours which extended to the United States. In 1935 Stephens began a literary and personal friendship with James Joyce. His colleagues considered Stephens to be a genius who easily embraced fantasy, philosophy, and comedy - those who read him today will still be struck by his genius. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! STEPHENS/W77
