1377154Paris: Editions du Patrimoine, Centre des Monuments Nationaux, 2015 in-4 oblong, 273 pages, riche illustration en couleurs et en n/b. Cartonnage illustré d'éd., très bon état. Monographie sur la plus grande tapisserie conservée du Moyen âge. Résumé: Commandée par le duc Louis Ier d'Anjou, frère de Charles V, à la fin du XIVe siècle, la tenture de l'Apocalypse est une réalisation monumentale exceptionnelle de l'art lissier, tant par ses dimensions et son histoire que par son sens et sa symbolique. Illustrant le dernier livre de la Bible, écrit par saint Jean à la fin du Ier siècle de notre ère, elle montre les fléaux qui s'abattent sur l'humanité et les combats entre le Bien et le Mal, et s'achève par la victoire de Dieu, délivrant ainsi un grand message d'espoir.Véritable manifeste de la puissance princière, elle reflète aussi, en interprétant cette vision eschatologique que propose la Bible, l'esprit de son temps, ses peurs et ses attentes, ses fastes et sa violence. La première partie du livre évoque l'art de la tapisserie au XIVe siècle, les collections princières au temps de Charles V, mais aussi l'histoire de la tenture et ses tribulations, sa relation à l'art pictural, ses sources d'inspiration et l'emblématique dont elle est le support.La seconde partie présente chacun des "tableaux" de la tapisserie, valorisé par le format à l'italienne du livre ; en regard de chaque planche, le texte de l'Apocalypse (dans la traduction de Bossuet) et les commentaires spécifiques à chacune d'elles. Pour concevoir ce livre exceptionnel, les directeurs d'ouvrage ont réuni autour d'eux les historiens et les conservateurs les plus réputés sur le sujet.

328 pages; This book has come out of a project that pioneered, and is continuing to pioneer, the in-depth application of state of the art scientific analyses to ceramic artefacts and skeletal material. The vases and skeletons of Bronze Age Greece which are the subjects of this comprehensive study, do not appear as they do in their usual format - illustrations in a book with descriptions of contexts. In this project, and therefore in this book, each object is revealed from the inside, and because of this, it has a different story to tell - what people ate and drank in everyday life, the diet and health of the people who lived in Bronze Age Greece. By means of organic residue and stable isotope analysis, knowledge has been extended beyond anything previously gleaned through normal archaeological research. There are some fascinating insights, such as the origin of modern Greek retsina, which was traced first to the time of Agammemnon, then to Crete in the 17th century BC and finally to the Early Minoan Period, c. 2000 BC. The results of this ground breaking project have been presented in 7 international exhibitions, starting with the National Archaeological Museum in Athens in 1999. It is the most widely travelled exhibition of Greek artefacts ever mounted. This volume gives the reader the ultimate "story within the story": the primary scientific evidence behind the work that has been carried out up to 2003. It has been written by the world renowned scientists who carried out the work.
