Paperback, XVIII+224 p., 210 x 297 mm. Volume 4 ISBN 9782503534688. Ce premier volume consacre aux bibles hebraiques conservees a la Bibliotheque nationale de France presente trente-deux manuscrits : dix-sept ont ete produits dans la peninsule iberique, sept dans l?aire ashkenaze, et un en Italie. La diversite de ces provenances favorise la comparaison des modes de fabrication, de copie et d?illustration des bibles hebraiques en Europe occidentale, durant le Moyen age. En effet, ces techniques ont ete influencees par le contact avec les cultures arabe et chretienne. Dans les bibles iberiques, des listes massoretiques sont copiees en debut et en fin de volume, quelquefois aussi a la fin du Pentateuque et moins souvent, a la fin des prophetes. Dans quelques bibles luxueuses, deux pages enluminees, formant une meme unite visuelle, representent les instruments du Temple. Certaines de ces bibles comportent egalement des vignettes enluminees destinees a indiquer les pericopes dans le Pentateuque, ou des grotesques et des figures zoomorphiques dans les marges de certaines pages. Mais l?element le plus original et le plus caracteristique des bibles hebraiques medievales est la decoration en forme de micrographie, presente dans toutes les aires geographiques. Certains textes accompagnent parfois celui de la Bible ; ils illustrent les differentes modalites de son etude et de son utilisation : grammaire et massore, traductions, commentaires, calendriers et listes liturgiques. Ces textes ont ete copies en meme temps que celui de la Bible ou ajoutes par des possesseurs successifs. Signalons uniquement deux des plus belles bibles decrites dans ce volume : Hebreu 15, copie a Lisbonne peu avant l?expulsion des juifs du Portugal, en 1496, et Hebreu 21, copie a Tudele (Navarre) par Josue ibn Gaon de Soria, pour Abraham de Leria, en 1301 ou 1302. Les abondantes annotations marginales trouvees dans les marges et les feuillets de garde de ces bibles, et de quelques autres, nous aident a retracer leur histoire ; ils sont de precieux temoins de la culture hebraique medievale.

Paperback. 489 p., 98 b/w ill., 98 fig., 156 x 234 mm, 2001 Languages: French ISBN 9782503509556. Entre les invasions germaniques du Ve siecle, et arabes du VIIIe, la peninsule iberique a su creer au VIIe siecle une brillante civilisation "hispano-wisigothique". Celle-ci s'est exprimee dans une litterature et un art singuliers, encore antiques et deja medievaux, adaptes aux besoins d'une societe hispanique nouvelle. Le representant le plus eminent de cette culture est Isidore, archeveque de Seville (560 ?-636), dont le rayonnement s'est prolonge sur tout l'Occident du haut Moyen Age. Le present livre trace d'abord les coordonnees d'espace et de temps des civilisations de l'Espagne meridionale (la "Betique" des Romains) des origines au VIe siecle. Puis il reconstitue la biographie d'Isidore -qui n'a guere de sources directes-. Il degage ensuite l'originalite de ses differentes oeuvres, regroupees par themes. Il analyse enfin les categories et les valeurs d'une pensee plus coherente et plus personnelle qu'on ne l'avait trop longtemps cru. On trouvera ici la synthese d'un demi-siecle de recherches, dans le premier ouvrage d'ensemble, en langue francaise, sur Isidore de Seville et son temps. Jacques Fontaine, Membre de l'Institut, professeur emerite de l'universite de Paris IV-Sorbonne a consacre sa these a Isidore de Seville, et il en est toujours le specialiste mondial inconteste. Il est l'auteur de Isidore de Seville et la culture classique dans l'Espagne wisigothique, et de Naissance de la poesie dans l'Occident chretien. Esquisse d'une histoire de la poesie latine chretienne du IIIe au VIe siecle Introduction generale Premiere partie: l'espace et le temps de l'Espagne du sud 1) La region de la Betique, carrefour de civilisations 2) Ombres et lumieres des premiers siecles chretiens 3) Des marees barbares au royaume de Tolede Deuxieme partie: une vie mouvementee et bien remplie 4) Une famille de "personnes deplacees" 5) Le cadet d'un grand frere aine 6) L'eveque metropolitain
Hardback, X+229 p., 99 b/w ill. + 12 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm. ISBN 9782503520186. Superbia und Narziss in Miniaturen mittelalterlicher Handschriften ist ein denkbar ungleiches Paar. Superbia hat ihre Wurzeln im Alten Testament, Narziss dagegen entstammt der antiken Mythologie. Wahrend Narziss nach der Antike ganze 8 Jahrhunderte in Vergessenheit gerat und nicht vor Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts erstmals wieder malerisch dargestellt wird, ist Superbia seit dem 9. Jahrhundert ein Bildthema. Mit der Untersuchung der Ikonographie von Superbia und Narziss in Miniaturen mittelalterlicher Handschriften aus dem 9. bis 16. Jahrhundert entwickelt und belegt das Buch eine These: dass trotz aller Gegensatzlichkeiten der beiden Figuren in der Buchmalerei ein Austausch bildlicher Elemente zwischen ihnen stattfindet, der dazu fuhrt, dass die in den mittelalterlichen Texten vollzogene Umdeutung des Narziss zu einem Sinnbild des Hochmuts auch im Bild erkennbar wird.

The Print Room of the Royal Library of Belgium currently possesses roughly 700,000 independent prints, including a few hundred early' woodcuts and engravings from the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which make up one of the most important parts of the collection. In the course of time, only a small portion of these has been recorded in a systematic catalogue. One-and-a-half centuries ago, in 1857, the head curator Louis Alvin catalogued the Library's noteworthy collection of Italian niello prints. Thirty-five years later, in 1892, Max Lehrs, then head of the Dresden Print Room, published the first and only inventory of the collection of fifteenth-century northern engravings in the Royal Library's Print Room. As for the two other parts of the collection included in this book, namely the early woodcuts and the early Italian prints, this is the very first time that each has been examined as a group. Consequently, the exceptionally rich collection of 'early' prints in the Royal Library of Belgium has remained essentially unknown to many thus far. This catalogue is a first step in making the collection better known.
