In September 2008, the seventh edition of the International Colloquium of Greek Palaeography (Madrid-Salamanca, 15-20 September 2008) celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Palaeographia graeca, the pioneer work of the Benedictine Bernard de Montfaucon that established the fundamentals of the discipline. Papers by renowned specialists in the field contributed to the methodology of study and to our knowledge of Greek manuscripts, and opened new perspectives for the study of the Greek manuscripts preserved mostly in European libraries, taking into account new methodological approaches, the possibilities of online resources, and the results of ongoing research projects. The Proceedings published here include contributions by specialists from over ten different countries, dealing with palaeographical issues such as ancient capital and lower-case lettering, writing and books in the Macedonian, Comnenian and Palaeologan periods, and Greek scribes and ateliers in the Renaissance (especially in manuscripts from the Iberian Peninsula). Many contributors also take a codicological approach and consider the material aspects of the codex, as well as other new research techniques. Finally, some papers deal with the book as object and how this relates to its content, as well as with the history of texts. The International Colloquia of Greek Palaeography are organized by the International Committee of Greek Palaeography, presided by Prof. Dieter Harlfinger. The seventh edition payed tribute to the memory of the late Jean Irigoin, who died in 2006. Languages: English, Italian, Spanish.

Hardback, XXVI+374 p., 17 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503515212. This is a significant new study of the festival culture of northern Europe in the later Middle Ages: more specifically of the German-speaking communities of the great cities of the eastern Baltic littoral in what was then called Livonia, corresponding roughly to the territories of present-day Estonia and Latvia. While subject to a degree of Scandinavian influence, the festival culture of Livonian cities such as Riga, Reval (Tallinn), and Dorpat (Tartu), which were members of the Hanseatic League, substantially overlapped with that of other German-speaking areas, not least the Hanseatic cities of northern Germany. The major part of the book is devoted to the main annual festivals of the merchants' guilds: Christmas, Carnival, the popinjay shoot, and the May Count celebrations. There follows an analysis of specific aspects of the festivals: spatial contexts, finances, food and drink, entertainments (dances, jousts, games), customs and rituals. There is also a concluding glance at changes in festival culture after the Reformation. The study combines close scrutiny of local customs (made possible by the almost miraculous survival of uniquely detailed documentation), contextualization within the wider comparative context of festival culture in late-medieval Europe, and an alterness to significant recent scholarship in both English and German.

Paperback, VI+868 p., erratumvel, 210 x 270 mm. ISBN 9782503536705. Cet ouvrage a pour vocation de rendre accessible l'unique antiphonaire cistercien d'origine prebernardine. Ce palimpseste, conserve a l'abbaye trappiste de Westmalle, contient la liturgie de Bernard de Clairvaux, elaboree autour des annees 1142-1147, mais aussi les precieuses traces du chant cistercien anterieur, meconnues jusqu'ici. Le temporal 12A, le sanctoral 12B et leurs gardes ont ete reproduits integralement. Les fac-similes couleur sont accompagnes d'une introduction historique et d'une etude detaillee qui proposent au contemporain un voyage aux sources du chant cistercien. Les annexes fournissent une double perspective : un premier tableau se consacre a l'analyse codicologique et paleographique ; un second signale les unica indispensables a la comprehension des liturgies cisterciennes : grattages, reecritures, variantes, biffures, deplacements, omissions, lacunes, fragments et pieces doublons. Mutile, lacere, recousu, rature et gratte, l'antiphonaire 12A-B de Westmalle presente les stigmates d'une histoire largement obscure. Puisse ce manuscrit ?« martyr ?» plonger le lecteur dans l'univers mysterieux et fascinant de nos racines chretiennes. Languages: French.
Paperback, 170 p., 18 b/w ill., 150 x 235 mm. ISBN 9782503513355. Depuis plus d'un demi-siecle, les historiens et les sociologues se sont beaucoup interesses aux courants de pensee et aux mouvements qui, au cours des siecles, ont lie l'aspiration a un ordre social plus juste ou a une reforme religieuse a l'avenement d'une ere nouvelle, placee sous le signe de la perfection et de la paix, qui durerait jusqu'a la fin des temps. On a longtemps considere ces phenomenes comme des formes de fanatisme ou comme une expression "pre-politique" de la lutte des classes. Sans negliger ces facteurs, le present volume vise a fournir une interpretation equilibree et a jour de ces formes radicales d'attente et d'espoir d'un changement, qui n'ont rien perdu de leur actualite. Languages : French, English, Italian.

Hardback, 250 p., 150 b/w ill. + 32 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503516844. The subject of the present publication is the working practices of the Ghent-Bruges illuminators, active in Flanders in the decades around 1500. Its focus is on manuscripts featuring freestanding, isolated motifs painted in the margins of text pages. The author traces how this decorative system was created by the Master of the David Scenes in the Grimani Breviary, a prolific inventor of appealing borders; how it was applied by his closest collaborators, and how it was imitated and adapted by other illuminators. Among these were Simon Bening, the Carmelite sister Cornelia van Wulfschkercke, and a number of anonymous masters, including several whose oeuvres are identified here for the first time. The author elucidates the sources for the isolated motifs and demonstrates how the codicological structure of the manuscripts provides insight into the use and the dispersion of various models for border decorations. The book discusses the famous strewn-flower borders and other types of fully decorated borders as well. The author analyses the isolated motifs in relationship to the page lay-out and the decorative programme of Ghent-Bruges standardised books of hours. The stylistic examination of both the miniatures and the borders of the manuscripts under discussion completes the integrated approach of this study. The author demonstrates how the illuminators collaborated with each other and exchanged artistic models for the illumination of these precious manuscripts. Languages: English.

Hardback, 305x230mm, 256p, 200 colour illustrations, French edition . ISBN 9782915542721. Les Expositions universelles du XIXe siecle, en France comme ailleurs ont inspire une importante litterature officielle ou journalistique, a visee le plus souvent promotionnelle, sans compter d'innombrables guides, alignant chiffres et parcours. Plus rares sont les impressions de premiere main livrees par les visiteurs. Le recit d'Ahmed Zaki (1867-1934), lettre arabe decrit par son biographe comme ?« maghrebin d'origine, palestinien de culture, egyptien d'enracinement ?», est d'autant plus precieux qu'il permet de faire entendre une voix non-europeenne. Autodidacte, l'homme oeuvra sa vie entiere en Egypte au renouveau des lettres arabes. Grand bibliophile, il collectionna les ouvrages rares en langue arabe. Amateur d'art, il defendit avec passion la renaissance de l'architecture islamique. L'ampleur des curiosites de cet esprit eclaire donne une saveur particuliere au compte rendu de ses visites repetees (du 18 avril au 12 juillet 1900) aux installations de l'Exposition. Zaki fait partager a son lectorat arabe ses enthousiasmes et ses irritations, a travers une ecriture fleurie, emaillee de vers, proverbes et maximes populaires. La traduction en francais de son texte invite ainsi a une double decouverte : l'Exposition universelle vue par un homme de lettres egyptien, et la facon toute particuliere dans laquelle il retranscrit ses observations. Ce recit singulier est accompagne d'une iconographie exceptionnelle permettant de decouvrir les metamorphoses de la capitale durant l'Exposition : pavillons, tapis roulants, constructions en tout genre, le lecteur retrouve l'ensemble des batiments decrits dans le compte-rendu detaille de ce journaliste hors normes.
