Trade Paperback. Fine. This landmark study of the American Indian berdache documents how tribal cultures venerated these androgynous people. Walter L. Williams combines historical documentation with his own important and controversial fieldwork to explore all facets of the berdache tradition. An acclaimed authority on the subject, Williams is the first outside observer to participate in both the public rituals and private lives of berdaches in various tribes.

Paperback, 525 pages , 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782503548791. William Durand (c. 1230-Nov. 1, 1296), Bishop of Mende, France, was unquestionably the most renowned liturgical scholar of the later Middle Ages. His encyclopedic allegorical exposition of the rites and worship services of the Latin Church, the Rationale divinorum officiorum, or "Rationale for the divine offices," is the best known medieval work in its genre. Divided into eight books of varying length, the Rationale is exhaustive in its treatment of a wide variety of subjects: the church building and liturgical art; the ministers of the church and their functions; liturgical vestments; the Mass and the Divine Office; the Church's calendar and its feast days. Modern scholarship has clearly shown that Durand's Rationale superseded all previous liturgical commentaries within only a few years of its publication (c. 1292-1296). By the end of the fifteenth century, it had become one of the most widely disseminated treatises of its kind in western Europe. Book 4, Durand?s lengthy and detailed commentary on the Mass, has never been translated into English. The present volume makes this important text available for modern students of liturgy, musicology, theology, and art history for whom the original Latin text is not accessible. The present translation also provides extensive annotation and explanation of Durand?s sometimes cryptic etymologies, while bringing to light important source material embedded within his commentary. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaeualis as Guillelmus Durantus - Rationale divinorum officiorum IV (CCCM 140). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation. Corpus Christianorum in Translation (CCT 14)

paperback, geillustreerd, 304 pagina's. ISBN 9789077503423. In de achttiende en negentiende eeuw bestond er een uitgebreide etiquette rond de correspondentie. Auteurs van brieven- en etiquetteboeken adviseerden wat van aanhef tot postscriptum de juiste stijl en inhoud van een brief was en familieleden voorzagen elkaars brieven van soms streng commentaar. Willemijn Ruberg beschrijft in Conventionele correspondentie hoe een vijftal families uit de Nederlandse hogere burgerij en adel met het fenomeen briefwisseling omging ? laverend tussen ?natuurlijkheid? en conventies. Al op jonge leeftijd leerden kinderen uit de elite, op basis van nieuwe pedagogische idealen, wat een fatsoenlijke brief was. Gedurende de adolescentie kregen brieven een speciaal karakter. Jonge mannen en vrouwen schreven elkaar vurige, romantische vriendschapsbrieven, maar gebruikten de briefwisseling ook als zelfonderzoek, om hun karakter te verbeteren. In verlovingsbrieven onderhandelden geliefden zelfs over hun relatie voor ze daadwerkelijk in het huwelijk traden. Negentiende-eeuwse correspondenten klaagden over het plichtmatige karakter van gelegenheidsbrieven zoals felicitaties, nieuwjaarswensen en condoleancebrieven en over het gebrek aan oprechtheid daarin. Toch waren ze belangrijk om de banden tussen families te bestendigen. Ruberg toont in dit boek met vele verrassende, ontnuchterende en schrijnende voorbeelden aan dat de briefwisseling een regelrecht socialisatiemiddel was. Via een ogenschijnlijk intiem medium trachtte de Nederlandse elite de eigen normen over te dragen en in stand te houden.

23 pages, including an in-text illustration of Sangai. Plus a fold-out sketch diagram. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Twenty-three years after his triumphant and disastrous conquest of the Matterhorn, Whymper turned his attention to the soaring Andes peaks of Ecuador. This expedition was designed primarily to collect data for the study of mountain sickness and of the physical effects of altitude. The summits of Chimborazo (20,948 feet) and six other mountains between 15,000 and 20,000 feet were reached for the first time. A night was spent on the top of Cotopaxi (19,613 feet), and the features of that great volcano were studied. In his valuable report, Whymper includes a data table of temperatures and heights of mountain summits of Chimborazo, Corazon, Cotopaxi, Sincholagua, Antisana, Pichincha, Cayambe, Sara-urcu, Cotocachi, and Carihuairazo. From the wider points of view of the geographer, the geologist, and traveller, Whymper brought home much valuable material. This illuminating account pre-dates the author's book, "Travels Amongst the Great Andes of the Equator" published in 1891. Accompanied by a sketch diagram, illustrating the northern part of Mr. Whypmer's travels.
