Historische anatolische Teppiche.

New New German Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (34 x 25 cm). In German. 112 p., 70 unnumbered color plates. Historische Anatolische Teppiche. Historical Anatolian carpets. Ein asthetisch ansprechendes Kulturerbe hoher Symbolkraft Teppiche aus Anatolien. Gegenstand der Kulturgeschichte: In den letzten dreibig Jahren hat sich unser Verstandnis von Begriff und Gegenstand der Kulturgeschichte grundlegend geandert. Sie ist heute nicht mehr ausschlieblich auf Ausdrucksformen der Hochkultur wie Kunst, Wissenschaft und Literatur beschrankt. Inzwischen gehören samtliche Bereiche des alltaglichen sozialen Lebens ohne jegliche Einschrankung zum Untersuchungbereich dieses Wissensgebietes. Historiker, die sich der Kulturgeschichte der Osmanen widmen, haben mittlerweile ebenfalls damit begonnen, die Kultur der "gewöhnlichen" Menschen einer kritischen Wertung zu unterziehen. Deren tagtagliches Leben, ihre Vorstellungen von Zeit, Raum und Schönheit, ihre Kleidung, ihr Essen und ihre Gesprache ebenso wie ihre Formen der Kommunikation werden unter einem neuen Blickwinkel betrachtet. Aus diesem Grunde wurden unterschiedliche Bereich, die nach klassischem Verstandnis zur Volkskunde oder Ethnologie gehören, ebenfalls zum Gegenstand der Untersuchungen von Kunsthistorikern (28-4). An den Anfang der Betrachtung ist jedoch die Frage zu stellen, wie Kultur und die von ihr geschaffenen Werte zu definieren sind. Contents: Karapinar, Taspinar, "Marpuçlu" Gördes, Megri, "Kömürcü" Kula, "Barock" Gördes, Karakeçili, Dösemealti, Yahyali, "Kiz" Bergama, Karakeçili, Manastir, Zara, Zile, Konya, Avunya, Karaman, Balikesir Yüncü, Kirsehir, Kirsehir, "Karaova" Milas, Burdur, Karakeçili, Fethiye, Taspinar, Avunya, Bergama, Cihanbeyli, Çanakkale, Dösemealti, Ladik, Kozak, Karakeçili, Milas, Yahyali, Sille, Bergama, "Barock" Kirsehir, Keçimuslu, Karakeçili, Manastir, Yuntdag, Ürgüp, Yahyali, Ezine, Altintas, Dösemealti, Cihanbeyli, Dazkiri.

Collected biographies of German Jewish emigres professors teaching at Istanbul University during WW2.

Comprehensive studies both on the university reform and on the scientists who came to Turkey following this reform and worked particularly on basic sciences, medicine and architecture are available. However those studies conducted on the refugee scientists who came to Istanbul University. Faculty of Letters so far are more restricted in both quantitative and qualitative terms.

Bruegel and Beyond Netherlandish Drawings in the Royal Library of Belgium, 1500-1800.

Hardcover, 305 x 240 mm, 392 pages, Fine!, ENG edition . ISBN 9789464366389. Awe-inspiring reference work on the Flemish and Dutch art of drawing from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, with masterly drawings from the collection of the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR). The Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels houses the largest collection of drawings in the country. Among its highlights are works by leading artists of the Low Countries, including Pieter Bruegel I, Joris Hoefnagel, Hendrick Goltzius, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Jacques Jordaens. As the library's collection has been little studied up to now, it is largely unknown to scholars and the general public. To acquaint a wider audience with these important works of art, this richly illustrated publication brings together for the first time over one hundred master drawings from the Royal Library's vaults. Not only new art-historical insights are presented, but also numerous rediscovered drawings and revised attributions to artists such as Maarten van Heemskerck and Karel van Mander. This carefully researched book, written by thirty specialists in the field, aims to make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the history of Netherlandish drawing from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Daan van Heesch is Head of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium. Sarah Van Ooteghem is an independent art historian. Between 2012 and 2018, she was Assistant Curator of Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium. Joris Van Grieken is Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium.
