Le cycle iconographique quasiment complet du Livre du C'eur d'amour epris est ici envisage de concert avec le texte, en revelant ainsi toute sa richesse et sa singularite. Ce volume est consacre a l?une des ?uvres majeures de Rene d?Anjou conservee aujourd?hui dans le manuscrit francais 24399 de la Bibliotheque nationale de France. En un songe allegorique qui est aussi quete chevaleresque, le C'ur personnifie veut rejoindre l'aimee. Les enluminures, par une mise en image efficace et dynamique du texte, rendent surtout la profonde melancolie, en cette fin du Moyen Age, d'un sentiment amoureux qui affronte de multiples epreuves. Comme dans le Mortifiement de Vaine Plaisance, compose deux ans plus tot et premier volet de ce diptyque litteraire, le c?ur (organe supplicie pour le Mortifiement ou Chevalier depite dans le roman de 1457) n'aura d'autre choix que le renoncement final et la douleur. A cet egard, anime d'un vrai souci spirituel, Rene d'Anjou fait edifier a la meme epoque, aux Cordeliers d?Angers, une chapelle dediee a saint Bernardin de Sienne (1453), pensee comme tombeau pour son c?ur. Les sujets evoques dans le traite de theologie morale ou dans les peripeties sentimentales du chevalier C?ur ne sont pas ainsi sans rappeler les sujets exprimes et representes dans le petit sanctuaire, echos d?une reflexion sur la Passion du Christ, la redemption, la Vaine Gloire et le salut de l?ame. Rose-Marie Ferre est Maitre de Conferences en Histoire de l'art medieval a l'Universite Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). Ses recherches portent sur les parametres de la commande artistique, les questions d'iconographie et de transmission culturelle a la fin du Moyen Age.

Softcover, 155 x 240mm., 369pp., b/w illustration. ISBN 9789042921108. This analytical bibliography, compiled with the support of the University of Antwerp, represents a first, important step toward broader studies concerning the nature, function, and significance of propagandistic materials that have been printed and distributed since the seventeenth century in connection with pilgrimage sites in the Southern Netherlands. Two and a half centuries (from 1600 to 1850) of publications are documented. This is an intriguing period for such a study because Catholic clergy made great use of printed propaganda materials for their (often successful) attempts to revitalize pilgrimages as part of the Counter-Reformation. Consequently, there was a new surge of such publications in the Southern Netherlands as of 1600 that prevailed until the early nineteenth century, when changing ecclesiastical views of how one should experience the Catholic faith led many local clergy to publish new types of pilgrimage books. As tens of thousands of pilgrimage texts were printed in this period, only one essential sub-group of these publications could be featured here, namely those related to Marian pilgrimage sites in the current provinces of Antwerp, Vlaams-Brabant, and the county of Brussels. The resulting bibliography reflects the holdings of numerous collections and provides, for each publication whenever possible, a full transcription of the title page, the collation of the book, and notes on whether or not illustrations, dedicatory texts, and personal notations by previous owners are present. This work consequently provides a useful base of knowledge for those interested in a wide variety of topics pertaining both to the production of devotional literature and the extensive popular hold these pilgrimage sites had on people in and beyond the Southern Netherlands.

Paperback, 102pp. ISBN 9789061942283. Jan Evertsen van Doorn was a bookseller and publisher active in Utrecht from about 1610 until his retirement in 1644. In addition to books, he also stocked music editions in a variety of genres, and in 1639 he published a Catalogus Librorum Musicorum listing all the music he had for sale. Though its existence was known through literary sources, Doorn's catalog was long thought to be lost. A copy survives in Paris at the Bibliotheque nationale, however, and is reproduced here in facsimile. In addition to this facsimile, the present volume includes a transcription of the original text with bibliographical annotations inserted. Three excellent indexes, "Composers and Editors," "Printers and Publishers," and "Lost Editions," provide easy and useful access to both the facsimile catalog and its transcription. The publication is graced with an introductory essay by Henri Vanhulst that places both the catalog and its contents in perspective within the musical milieu of their day. The essay codifies the careful and thorough study Vanhulst has obviously devoted to this document. Chief among the essay's most helpful features are six statistical tables that provide information on various aspects of the catalog, including chronologies of domestic and foreign editions, percentages of composers by nationality, and geographical distribution of printers and publishers.

All its 87 miniatures are reproduced here in colour. The commentary, by an expert in hunting iconography, not only describes the subjects matter of each miniature, but also summarizes and explains the text of each chapter. Languages : English.

Boekenverzamelingen symboliseren door de eeuwen heen de geleerdheid en cultuur van hun eigenaar. Het woord bibliotheek duidt in de meeste talen niet langer alleen op de boeken zelf maar ook op de gebouwen waarin ze zijn ondergebracht. De bibliotheek is in zijn hoogste vorm een totaalkunstwerk geworden waarin schilderkunst, sculptuur, meubels en architectuur in een naadloos en dramatisch geheel samenkomen. En architecten wedijveren met elkaar, vanaf hun ontwerpen voor de bibliotheken van het oude Rome tot aan die voor de Bibliotheque Nationale in Parijs, om boeken in de meest spectaculaire omgeving onder te brengen. Dit boek is het eerste overzicht van de geschiedenis van dit gebouwtype, van het ontstaan van het schrift tot de dag van vandaag, van het oude Mesopotamie tot het moderne Japan. Elk tijdperk en elke cultuur heeft de bibliotheek opnieuw uitgevonden, gemodelleerd naar zijn eigen prioriteiten en interesses, en al doende een afspiegeling geschapen van de beschaving zelf. De fraaiste bibliotheken herbergen niet zozeer boeken als wel kennis, creativiteit en beschouwing; ze belichamen het hoogste van wat de mensheid kan bereiken. James Campbell en Will Pryce hebben de wereld afgereisd en rond de tachtig bibliotheken bezocht en gedocumenteerd. Ze hebben een mijlpaal van een boek gecreeerd, een complete architectuurgeschiedenis van de bibliotheek.
softcover , met omslagwikkel, 15.5x24cm, xviii-626 p. - ISBN 978 90 5867 567 5 ISBN 9789058675675. Vormingsjaren (Leuven-Rome-Wenen) , Lipsius en het Plantijnse huis , In 2006 is het precies 400 jaren geleden dat de humanist en filoloog Justus Lipsius overleed. Justus Lipius had heel sterke banden met de Leuvense Alma Mater en heeft een grote rol gespeeld om de Leuvense universiteit, die zwaar te lijden had gehad onder de politiek-religieuze troebelen van de eerste decennia van de Tachtigjarige oorlog, weer aantrekkelijk te maken voor studenten uit het buitenland. Dit boek, dat verschijnt naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling, legt de nadruk op het wereldwijde netwerk van Lipsius??™ correspondenten. De intense briefwisseling van Lipsius met geleerden en hooggeplaatste personen in Europa biedt een boeiende getuigenis van de reputatie die de geleerde bij zijn tijdgenoten verworven had.
Paperback, IV+272 p., 217 b/w ill. + 40 colour ill., 1 CD, 210 x 270 mm. ISBN 9782503533438. Solving Cases: Books and Paper Artefact Restoration is a collection of Italian restoration experiences documented by the author during his thirty years in this field. The author's intention was to take the reader by the hand and accompany him/her step by step as he confronts the complexities of each situation and resolves the case. Anyone interested in or already studying conservation techniques for cultural heritage artefacts will find this book helpful as it is not a standard textbook but a series of cases where the author explains his reasoning and describes how he approached the investigation process that is necessary in any direct conservation procedure. The discussions in this book highlight how even the smallest folds in an artefact can be read to increase our historical and technical knowledge. This book is divided into three sections, each offering a detailed investigation into different types of artefacts: manuscripts on parchment and on paper; books needing minimal treatment on their bindings to books requiring completely new bindings; drawings, prints, miniatures, oil paintings, and finally a globe covered with printed maps. The final part examines a unique case of virtual restoration on one of the oldest surviving images on paper. The book comes complete with a CD full of colour photos so you can visually follow the step by step description of the investigation process. Languages: English.
