Hardcover with dusjacket, 370 p., 110 b/w ill. + 44 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English; Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard. ISBN 9781909400979. By the time of its completion in 1621, the former Jesuit church in Antwerp was one of the most brilliant achievements in the Southern Netherlands, particularly due to the ceiling paintings after Rubens? designs and his two altarpieces. Nevertheless, from the seventeenth century to the present day, the precise extent of Rubens? involvement in the architecture and the architectural sculpture of the church has been a point of discussion. Rubens was in close contact with the Jesuit Francois de Aguilon, designer of the ground plan of the Antwerp Jesuit church, and with lay brother Pieter Huyssens who made most of the drawings for the church. Known to be by Rubens? hand are a limited number of drawings and a sketch in oil for architectural ornaments and sculptures that relate both to the exterior and to the interior of the structure. Despite its numerous restorations, the iconographic scheme of the church is even today visibly influenced by Rubens? jaunty visual language which goes back to examples of ancient antiquity and its Christian interpretations in early Baroque churches in Rome. Some of the church?s decorative designs were also modelled after works by contemporary Italian artists such as Cherubino Alberti. In this critical catalogue, the design drawings and oil sketches attributed to Rubens, a number of which later served as models for religious as well as profane architectural decoration, including that of Cardinal-Infant Ferdinand's Pompa Introitus in 1635, are extensively discussed.

New New Arabic Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 23 cm). Introduction in English and Persian; facsimile text n Arabic. [30], 395, [11] p. An anonymous commentary on Kitâb al-Tadhkira by Ibn Mattawayh. Facsimile Edition of Mahdavi Codex 514 (6th / 12th century).= Shars Kitâb al-Tadhkirah fi? ahkâm al-jawâhir wa-al-a'râd. Ibn Mattawayh. Introduction and indices by Sabine Schmidtke. EBN MATTAWAYH (Mattûya), ABÛ MO?AMMAD HASAN b. A?mad b. Mattawayh, Mu'tazilite theologian of the Basran school, a student of Qâzî 'Abd-al-Jabbar (d. 415/1025). Where Ebn Mattawayh lived and the date of his death are not known. Wilferd Madelung has established that his Majmû' was written rather soon after 'Abd-al-Jabbar's death and that the late date sometimes given for Ebn Mattawayh's death as 468/1075 or 469/1076 has no foundation. Two works of his survive and are being published: a complete treatise of Mu!tazilite theology and a treatise on the "fine points" of theology. His Ketâb al-majmû' fi'l-mo?i? be'l-taklif is, as D. Gimaret has shown in his preface to the second volume, an independent, explicative, and sometimes critical rewriting of ?Abd- al-Jabbar's al-Mohit fi'l-taklif. The first of the two parts of Ebn Mattawayh's al-Tadkera fi a?kam al-jawaher wa'l-a'raz has been published (ed. S. N. Lo?f and F. Badir'un, Cairo, 1975). The first volume is a treatise on the "physics, or natural philosophy, of the Mu'tazilite world view: substances, atoms, bodies, their various properties (colors, tastes, odors, sounds, heat and cold, speech and language), existence and nonexistence, the basic accidents (akwan), etc.; and on all the auxiliary matters that form the background and supposition for arguments in the greater questions of theology: the eternity and justice of God, creation, the temporality of the Koran, man's power, moral responsibility (taklif), etc. According to the editors of the first part, the second and final part, fi'l-?ayat, which would be the "biology" of the theologian's world view, was being prepared for publication. The Ta?kera might be usefully read in conjunction with a treatise on the same subject by another disciple of ?Abd al-Jabbar, Abu Rasid Sa?id b. Mo?ammad b. Sa'id Nîsabûrî, al-Masâ 'el fi'l-?elâf bayn al-Basriyin wa'l-Bagdadiyin (Beirut, 1979). Ebn Mattawayh was one of the Mu'tazilites who favored 'Ali b. Abi ?aleb. Ebn Abi'l-?adid cites three times Ebn Mattawayh's Ketab al-kefaya (now lost), showing him to hold 'Ali superior to Abû Bakr (I, p. 8), and even saying that Ali was protected from sin and error (ma'?ûm) although, contrary to the Imami position, this was not necessary for his imamate (VI, pp. 376-77)-ma'sûmîya (protection from sin) necessarily being a quality of the Prophet during the time of his mission (VII, p.10).

Hardcover with dusjacket, 380 pages ., 132 b/w ill. + 49 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781912554317. Painted altarpieces form an important and familiar part of Peter Paul Rubens?s substantial oeuvre. Much less widely known is the fact that Rubens's involvement in such commissions sometimes went beyond the paintings themselves, and that he also designed sculptural framing and decorative surrounds for his patrons. There are several examples of designs by Rubens for sepulchral monuments too. These altar surrounds and tombs belong to the category of architectural sculpture . comprising the elements of the orders of architecture and their free application on the one hand, and monumental figurative or ornamental sculptural elements on the other. This was a visual language in which Rubens was especially well versed, and he drew on it not only in his paintings but also in his designs for tapestries, title-pages, book illustrations and ephemeral decorations. Rubens?s designs for architectural sculpture were more than just a natural extension of his own artistic activities: they fulfilled a need in the design practice of the sculptors and architects of the period who executed the works. Hans van Mildert, for example, regularly turned to designs by his friend Rubens. Evidence is found in both Van Mildert?s own work and that of Rubens himself of a design and workshop practice with, at its core, a collection of models that represented the intellectual capital of each of the artists concerned. The architectural sculpture that Rubens designed is also an expression and application of his personal views on art theory, which centred on the study of sculpture by painters and defined how they ought to render it in their own work. As elsewhere in his oeuvre, Rubens?s inspiration for the visual language he brought to bear in this area was frequently drawn from celebrated examples from antiquity and sixteenth-century Italy.
Hardback, 406 pages , 145 b/w ill., 180 x 265 mm. volume II fine ISBN 9780199210411. Dr. Balis explores examines in the greatest detail Ruben?s paintings and drawings of hunting scenes and thereby throws a fascinating light on the society in which the artist lived, bringing the hunting scenes together for the first time in a definitve catalogue raisonne. Rubens may be said to have revived the genre of hunting scenes, a theme whose popularity had declined since the Middle Ages. Moreover, he enriched the courtly allusions and contemporary preoccupations. Dr. Balis explores this updating of the genre by examining in the greatest detail Ruben?s paintings and drawings of hunting scenes and thereby throws a fascinating light on the society in which the artist lived. This volume brings the hunting scenes together for the first time in a definitve catalogue raisonne that documents both the precedents for and the originality of Rubens?s development of hunting iconography, and argues that the prolific production of Flemish animal painters in the 17th century owes its very existence to Rubens?s example and his creation of a sympathetic audience. Both text and catalogue discuss the ever-important questions of what part Rubens himself played in the execution of these sometimes huge canvases, since he seems to have relied in some degree on the assistance of his studio or of specialized animal painters.

This volume catalogues and discusses all the known representations by Rubens of the Life of Christ after the Passion, and the material is sufficiently varied to convey a brilliant impression of the energy, inventiveness and technical and artistic mastery - the art of Rubens. This volume catalogues and discusses all the known representations by Rubens of the Life of Christ after the Passion. It includes the little-known group of paintings and drawings of Christ Triumphant over Sin and Death, as well as the various depictions of the Conversion of Saint Paul, the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin, the Last Judgement, the Fall of the Damned and the Assumption of the Blessed. They range from small panels to the largest works Rubens ever painted and count amongst the most popular and influential of his compostions. In his catalogue Dr. Freedberg presents a considerable amount of new evidence relating to their evolution and patronage, while separate sections are devoted to particularly important and unusual aspects of their iconography.
