paperback, 220 pages ., 156 x 234 mm, Français. ISBN 9782503540689. L'Apocalypse johannique a longtemps pose probleme dans l?Eglise ancienne, en raison de son caractere hermetique et de l?abus qu?en ont fait les sectes millenaristes. L?Orient ne l?a recue que tardivement, non sans restriction, dans le canon des Ecritures. En Occident, elle n?a pas suscite les memes reticences. Elle le doit a un exegete genial, qui a su en proposer une lecture a la fois politiquement correcte, theologiquement acceptable et spirituellement utile, dans un contexte historique tres different de celui ou elle avait ete redigee. Tyconius, qui a vecu en Afrique du Nord dans la seconde moitie du IVe siecle, appartenait a l?Eglise donatiste, mais il etait loin de partager sans reserve sa doctrine. Il en prenait meme le contre-pied sur des points fondamentaux. Cela n?a pas empeche que son commentaire de l'Apocalypse ait subi le sort commun a la plupart des ouvrages reputes, a tort ou a raison, heretiques: il n?a plus ete recopie et s?est perdu. Cependant, les commentateurs de l?antiquite chretienne et du haut moyen age s?en sont inspires de facon a ce point etroite, qu?il est possible de reconstituer, par comparaison, leur source commune. Ce texte fondateur, dont on trouvera ici la traduction, a ete edite dans la serie latine du Corpus Christianorum sous le numero 107A. Des renvois aux pages correspondantes de l?edition sont fournis dans les marges de cette publication. Monseigneur Roger Gryson, professeur emerite a l'Universite catholique de Louvain, est connu notamment par ses travaux sur l'histoire des institutions ecclesiastiques dans l'antiquite, l'arianisme latin et la critique textuelle de la Bible latine.

paperback, 230 p., 156 x 234 mm, english. ISBN 9782503531557. Andrew of St Victor (? 1175) was an exegete of a rare quality who set out to expound Scripture according to its literal sense, guided by the examples of Jerome and Hugh of St Victor. The books of Samuel and Kings had a great influence on the spirituality and theology of the Middle Ages. To the medieval mind, they were more than just historical accounts; they attested to an important period in God?s dealings with this world, when interpreted typologically, they could also relate to other periods in the history of salvation. Yet before such higher spiritual wisdom could be attained, students at the school of St Victor first had to study the Scriptural texts at the most basic level of allegoresis: their historical, or literal, sense. The Commentary on Samuel and Kings offers such a literal explanation and gives an opportunity to study Andrew at work: as a critical researcher, who used concepts of grammar, literary theory, and science to elucidate the text and who made Jewish exegesis available to Christian scholarship, and as a compiler. His meticulous scholarship on the literal sense of Scripture formed an important component of the curriculum of the school at St Victor, where thorough learning was seen as a preparation for mystical knowledge and spiritual understanding. The source text of this volume appeared in the series Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaeualis as Andreas de Sancto Victore - Expositio hystorica in librum Regum (CCCM 53A). References to the corresponding pages of the edition are provided in the margins of this translation. Frans van Liere holds a Ph.D. in medieval studies from Groningen University and is Professor of History at Calvin College (USA). His critical edition of Andrew of St Victor's Commentary on Samuel and Kings (Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis 53A) appeared in 1996.
Hardback with dusjacket., Languages: English, 345 pages., 50 b/w ill. 150 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm, fine condition . ISBN 9782503536781. Willem Key was one of the leading portrait and history painters in sixteenth-century Antwerp. He was born in Breda in 1516. Following in his older brother Wouter's footsteps, Willem went to Antwerp to become a painter. He studied under Pieter Coecke (1529) and later, like Frans Floris, apprenticed in the workshop of Lambert Lombard in Liege before becoming a free master in 1542. In 1568, just when he had reached the top of his abilities and enjoyed the patronage of outstanding individuals and institutions, Willem Key died suddenly. The artist?s biographer and painter Karel van Mander tells us that Key was blessed with ?Sulcke edele gheesten,? such a noble mind. And, he had a ?Docta manus,? a learned hand, as the Bruges humanist and painter Domenicus Lampsonius phrased this topos in 1572. This is the first monograph to place Willem Key and his oeuvre in a historical framework. It demonstrates why the nobility, including the Duke of Alba and Cardinal Granvelle, considered him the best portrait painter of his day and why leading humanists viewed his many history paintings as eloquent visualizations of contemporary art theory. The reason why Willem Key's peers regarded him as such an exceptional painter lay in his creative ability to do battle on an uneven playing field with the artists who had been to Italy. In his reconciliation of the Netherlandish tradition with the rapidly advancing Italian manner, Key grasped the spirit of the Renaissance as formulated by Alberti. The quintessence of Key's art inspired numerous artists in his own time and later, including the grandmaster of the Baroque, Pieter Paul Rubens. By shedding light on this amazing confrere of Pieter Bruegel, Pieter Aertsen, Anthonis Mor and Frans Floris and placing him in the highly complex and fascinating time he lived in, this monograph and catalogue raisonne of the art of Willem Key restores the artist to his rightful place in sixteenth-century Antwerp art.

pp. ii, 104. +Plus astounding woodblock prints throughout. 12mo. 250mm. Publisher's full cloth binding in green decorated with striking black ink woodcut set on orange. Spine lettered in gilt. The first published work of John Gincano, a virtually unknown master of foreboding expressionistic woodcuts. Executed at the advent of the Great Depression (the zenith of the Expressionist era), these grim woodcuts compare with the best work of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Vasily Kandinsky, and Emile Nolde. As Willy Pogany states in his preface, 'Gincano's delightful woodcuts not only illustrate Schlemihl's peregrinations, but describe a life partly his own. They illuminate this charming satirical romance and are fully imbued with the whimsical spirit of the book, rendered as they are with masterful simplicity and telling originality. The idea of illustrating 'Peter Schlemihl' with woodcuts is a very fortunate one, as it not only suggests the period when Chamisso wrote this immortal fantasy, but somehow by its very nature of strong contrasts in Black and White constantly brings to mind the lost 'shadow'.
