Hardback, 414 p., 3 planches, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503505800. La maison priorale des Hospitaliers situee a Saint-Gilles, sur la rive languedocienne du Petit-Rhone, est l'un des plus anciens etablissements de l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jerusalem en Occident. Son cartulaire, aujourd'hui conserve dans les archives municipales d'Arles, est riche de trois cent soixante dix-huit actes echelonnes de 1129 a 1210. Il fournit une information exceptionnelle, non seulement sur l'histoire de l'Hopital dans la premiere phase de son implantation meridionale, mais egalement sur la mise en valeur de la Camargue, sur les structures sociales, sur les rapports entre les villes (Arles, Saint-Gilles, Beaucaire) et leur arriere-pays, au temps de la mise en place des consulats, ainsi que sur les mentalites religieuses. Dans une region ecartelee entre les pouvoirs civils et ecclesiastiques rivaux, partagee entre Empire et Royaume, les Hospitaliers s'infiltrent peu a peu et tissent patiemment un reseau de possessions foncieres, de liens feodaux et de droits de seigneurie, destines a faire d'eux l'une des plus importantes puissances economiques des pays du Bas-Rhone.

Hardback, 696 p., 34 b/w ill. + 2 colour ill., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503532608. The rise of modern science and European colonial and imperial expansion are indisputably two defining elements of modern world history. James E. McClellan III and Francois Regourd explore these two world-historical forces and their interactions in this comprehensive and in-depth history of the French case in the Old Regime presented here for the first time. The case is key because no other state matched Old-Regime France as a center for organized science and because contemporary France closely rivaled Britain as a colonial power, as well as leading all other nations in commodity production and participating in the slave trade. Based on extensive archival research and vast primary and secondary literatures and sharply reframing the historiography of the field, this landmark volume traces the development and significance for early-modern history of the Colonial Machine of Old-Regime France, an unparalleled agglomeration of institutions geared to the success of the French colonial enterprise, including the Royal Navy, the Academie Royale des Sciences, the Jardin du Roi, and a host of related specialist institutions working together at home and overseas. Mainly supported by the French state, the Colonial Machine reveals itself through its actions from the time of Colbert and Louis XIV as it grappled with fundamental problems facing contemporary European colonialism: cartography and navigation; medical care of sailors, colonists, and slaves; and applied botany and commodity production. Historians of globalization and European overseas expansion, of Old-Regime France, and of science in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries will henceforth take this stimulating volume as a necessary starting point for further reflection and research.

This first modern reprint of Antonius a Burgundia?s neat and concise emblem book is based on the copy in the Royal Library Albert I at Brussels, and focuses on the vices of the tongue: abuse, equivocation, insults, detraction, blasphemy, lying, perjury, and calumny. This first modern reprint of Antonius a Burgundia's neat and concise emblem book Lingua vitae et remedia is based on the copy in the Royal Library Albert I at Brussels.

It was issued almost simultaneously in Latin and Dutch with the vices of speech, the second offers remedies for such defects. In a wide-ranging introduction Van Houdt discusses the cultural and literary context of the book and the issues it raises, setting it in the intellectual framework which shaped its pedagogical principles and ethical ideas. The catalogue of sins and remediescan be traced back to theological and humanistic sources, among which Erasmus'diatribe Lingua holds a special place.The appendix includes collated variants, an index of Latin mottoes with an English translation, a list of pictorial motifs, and an index of themes. Languages : English.

Hardback, 130 p., 160 x 235 mm. ISBN 9782503507804. This book is an edition of Hieronymus Ammon?s Imitatio Crameriana, which is a compilation of forty heart emblems in imitation of Daniel Cramer?s Emblemata Sacra, and in the context of contemporary Nuremberg as a thriving centre of culture important as a theory of learning and translation. In 1649 Hieronymus Ammon, a town lawyer in Nuremberg, published a sophisticated bilingual emblem book in Latin and German under the title Imitatio Crameriana. The book is a compilation of forty heart emblems, imitations of Daniel Cramer's Emblemata Sacra. At this time Nuremberg was a centre of economic and political power, and boasted a thriving culture. The town's poets had a serious interest in rhetoric and poetics, and they showed an appreciation for the vernacular culture that was being promoted by the Sprachgesellschafften. In this context the notion of imitatio is important as a theory of learning and translation. Imitating classical patterns was considered a means to develop style through independent variation. Cramer's heart emblems were considered by Ammon and his friends as an ideal model. Even more so because they adhered to orthodox protestant dogma. Thus these emblems fulfilled the expectations of erudition and wit, while satisfying protestant principles of scripture. Most of the biblical mottoes were texts used for daily sermons in the Lutheran church. The substantial introduction is followed by a list of Ammon's Latin mottoes which are juxtaposed with their source mottoes in Cramer's emblems and accompanied by English translations; there is also a second list of the key motifs in the emblem pictures.
