hardback 434 p., 160 x 240 mm francais. ISBN 9782503505985. A propos de la parution de la version anglaise en 1978, M. Pacaut, dans son compte rendu dans les Cahiers de civilisation medievale, exprimait le principal regret qu'avait suscite chez lui la lecture du present ouvrage, "a savoir qu'il n'y ait pas de ce volume une traduction francaise". C'est un grand plaisir donc de pouvoir annoncer enfin la parution de l'edition francaise, completement mise a jour et adaptee a tous les progres de la recherche (y compris les publications parues en 1996). On dispose ainsi d'une introduction claire et complete aux sources originales de l'histoire du Moyen Age occidental ainsi que de l'information necessaire a leur utilisation et leur interpretation correctes. Couvrant toute l'Europe occidentale du cinqieme au quinzieme siecle, ce livre est une aide precieuse pour le chercheur desirant avoir acces a ces sources d'information et offre un instrument de premier ordre en ecdotique de l'histoire medievale. Les differents types de textes narratifs et non narratifs y sont exposes, et l'histoire de la naissance et du developpement des etudes medievales du seizieme siecle a nos jours est decrite dans un apercu original. Quoique l'attention se soit portee principalement sur l'Europe occidental, deux courts chapitres sont toutefois consacres a l'histoire byzantine. Le texte de ce livre est identique a celui paru sous le titre l'Introduction aux sources de l'histoire medievale. Le dernier contient en outre les parties IV (Ouvrages de reference pour l'etude des textes medievaux) et V (Introduction bibliographique aux sciences auxiliaires de l'histoire).

hardcover, XIV 717 p., 43 b/w ill., 178 x 254 mm, English Hanno Wijsman is Researcher in Medieval History at Leiden University, focusing on the cultural history of the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, with special attention to books and libraries in the Low Countries and France. ISBN 9782503525587. This interdisciplinary study presents a two-part survey of the production and ownership of luxury manuscripts in the late-medieval Netherlands. Part I analyses a corpus of 3,700 illustrated manuscripts produced between 1400 and 1550 in the Low Countries. The result is a cornucopia of information about many aspects of manuscript production: chronological, geographical and gender distribution, the genres of texts, the languages used, the dimensions of books, the number of illustrations, and the relationship between the making of hand-written and printed books. Part II examines the libraries of the pre-eminent owners of illustrated manuscripts in the Netherlands: the ducal family and the noble elite. The great bibliophile Philip the Good set an example of book collecting that was emulated by the nobles of the court, creating a typical ?Burgundian? fashion in book ownership by which a small elite demonstrated a well defined group identity. Luxury Bound charts this new vogue in books and reading, an important aspect of cultural change in the late-medieval Low Countries.

Blackmore, was one of the most famous English novelists of the second half of the nineteenth century. He won acclaim for vivid descriptions and personification of the countryside, sharing with Thomas Hardy a Western England background and a strong sense of regional setting in his works.

Hardcover with dusjacket. 360 p., 149 b/w ill. + 46 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781909400863. The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created. The present volume V - 2 of the Corpus Rubenianum catalogues Rubens?s exploration and representation of the theme of the public life of Christ. The period in Christ?s life during which he spread his message by wandering and preaching with the apostles in the Holy Land, offered a particularly poignant and important part of religious discourse within the context of the Counter-Reformation period in the Netherlands. In order to rebut the Calvinists and their call for the stripping of imagery and lavish decoration from churches, and the destruction of furniture and altarpieces that followed, the Roman Catholic Church sought to establish an innovative and powerful visual rhetoric with renewed urgency. The scenes from the ministry of Christ could serve as potent reminders of the core values of Roman Catholic spirituality. Rubens, as a devout Catholic, created a number of impressive paintings to express this, although most of the works he produced seem to have been intended for the open market. The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created.

First American edition. Contents clean. Hardbound. Very Good. Hannah Mary Rathbone (1798-1878) was an English writer and the author of The Diary of Lady Willoughby. Influenced by her father's tastes, she had read many histories and memoirs of the Civil war and adjacent periods, and her publisher (Thomas Longman) took great pride in bringing out the Diary as an exact reproduction of a book of the seventeenth century, in which it was supposed to be written. He had a new fount specially cast at the Chiswick Press. In some quarters the Diary was at once accepted as genuine; in others, author and publisher incurred indignant reproof as having conspired in an intentional deception. Readers speculated on the identity of the writer; and Robert Southey, Lord John Manners, and Mr. John Murray were in turn suggested. In the third edition the publishers and author inserted a joint note avowing the real character of the book. In 1847 Mrs. Rathbone issued a sequel under the title Some further Portions of the Diary of Lady Willoughby which do relate to her Domestic History and to the of the latter Years of the Reign of King Charles the First, the Protectorate, and the Revolution. The two parts were in 1848 re-published together. The general excellence of Mrs. Rathbone's workmanship, when she is at her best, becomes most clearly evident if Lady Willoughby's Diary is compared with Anne Manning's Life of Mary Powell (1850), which manifestly owed its origin to the success of the earlier work, but is altogether inferior to it.
