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. Languages : English.

Gebonden, Hardcover met stofomslag compleet. Nederlandstalig | 485 pagina's. . ISBN 9789061862680. In 1975 verscheen b.g.v. het 550-jarig bestaan van de universiteit van Leuven een groots opgezette geschiedschrijving, inclusief de geschiedenis van de gebouwen, de bibliotheek en het studentenleven. De nieuwe editie van dit gedenkboek is met nieuw onderzoek verbeterd en aangevuld met een vierde deel over de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven na het vertrek van de franstaligen in 1968. De grootste universiteit van Belgie was vanaf 1425 tot de oprichting van de universiteit van Leiden in 1574 de enige universiteit in de toenmalige Nederlanden. Van 1817-1830, toen Belgie met Nederland verenigd was, werd zij rijksuniversiteit. In 1834 werd door de Belgische bisschoppen een franstalige Katholieke Universiteit opgericht, die als een van de staat onafhankelijke instelling aansloot bij de middeleeuwse Alma Mater. De plaats van de universiteit in de geestelijke en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, eerst van de Nederlanden (o.a. Erasmus, Jansenisme) en later van Belgie (o.a. de taalstrijd), komen goed uit de verf. De geschiedenis is boeiend beschreven met prachtige illustraties, voor een deel in kleur. Met uitvoerige geannoteerde bibliografie.NBD|Biblion recensie, Drs. N. Versluis.)

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.
