The Artist, The Sultan and his portrait: Mehmed the Conqueror according to Gentile Bellini.= Ressam, Sultan ve portresi: Gentile Bellini'ye göre Fatih Sultan Mehmet. [Exhition catalogue]. Edited by Münevver Eminoglu. Consultant: Günsel Renda. This exhibition consists of a single painting: the famous portrait that the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror had painted by the Italian artist Gentile Bellini about five hundred years ago and is now in the collection of the National Gallery of London. The painting is a magnificent souvenir of a brief 'golden age' in a reminder that, as early as the Renaissance and under the leadership of a strong and foresighted ruler, Ottoman society, which always looked wetward, hd the chance to grasp universal civilization.

A few cellotape stains to inner covers else Book is VG. ; 1.25 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 376 pages; The city of Memphis on the Nile, which had often served as capital in the long period preceding Egypt's conquest by Alexander the Great, became the country's "second city" following the founding of Alexandria. Drawing on archaeological findings and on an unusual combination of Greek and Egyptian evidence, Dorothy Thompson examines the city's economic life and the character of its multi-racial society in the era from Alexander to Augustus. Memphis under the Ptolemies will interest students of intercultural relations and will be essential reading for Egyptologists, papyrologists, and historians of the Hellenistic world, including those concerned with religion. The relationship of the native population with the Greek-speaking immigrants is illustrated in Thompson's analysis of the position of Memphite priests within the Ptolemaic state. Egyptians continued to control mummification and the cult of the dead; the undertakers of the Memphite necropolis were barely touched by things Greek. The cult of the living Apis bull also remained primarily Egyptian; yet on death the bull, deified as Osorapis, became Sarapis for the Greeks. Within this god's sacred enclosure, the Sarapieion, is found a strange amalgam of Greek and Egyptian cultures.

"The third of a trilogy of novels about the rise of the House of Stewart" Book
brossura L'Afganistan, la Colombia e la Palestina di oggi hanno qualcosa in comune con il Mezzogiorno d'Italia dopo il 1860? Quale Italia si è costruita nel 1861? Come e perché nasce la questione meridionale? Quali sono le colpe dei Borboni e quali quelle degli intellettuali del Sud? Criminali o partigiani i briganti??A domande del genere vuole rispondere questo libro nel quale il passato viene riletto in costante confronto con il presente. Storia alla Montanelli, quindi, ma, soprattutto, storia senza falsi pudori, anche a rischio di apparire revisionisti ad oltranza e dissacratori, nella convinzione che è ormai arrivato il momento di rendersi conto di come sono davvero andate le cose prima e dopo l'impresa di Garibaldi.
