‎Studying the Arts in Late Medieval Bohemia. Production, Reception and Transmission of Knowledge‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 358 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 16 col., 14 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593173.‎

‎Summary From its foundation in 1348, the University of Prague attracted students as well as scholars from all over Europe to its Faculty of Arts, where they studied and taught the subjects of the curriculum in all their variety. Nevertheless, our knowledge about these Prague scholars and their thought is still rather limited. In an effort to fill this gap, this volume is the first devoted entirely to the production, reception, and transmission of knowledge in the Arts Faculty of the medieval University of Prague, covering topics in astronomy, linguistics, logic, metaphysics, meteorology, and optics. It also links Prague's Faculty of Arts to several others at universities across Europe and it examines the study of the arts in Bohemia outside the university, including the Jewish milieu. The book contributes to advancing the status quaestionis in various ways, mainly through the analysis of less well-known and even unpublished texts, critical editions of some of which are printed here for the first time.

‎Third edition of vol. 7 of Salmon's extensive 'Modern History' containing information on Poland, Bohemia, Silesia, Moravia, Hungary, Transilvania, Sclavonia, Servia and Croatia. Salmon’s ""Modern History” is an ambitious attempt to provide a comprehensive account of the world’s countries, their histories, and their contemporary states during Salmon’s time and stands as a monumental achievement in the history of 18th-century historiography. His work is a fine example of the Enlightenment's goal for cataloging and comprehending the world, offering a unique snapshot of global perspectives as understood by Europeans in the early modern period. It represents one of the earliest comprehensive attempts to document and analyze the state of nations worldwide.‎

‎This publication is the first to appear in a major new series of catalogues covering all Western medieval illuminated manuscripts in Cambridge, excluding only the manuscripts in the University Library which are being catalogued separately. The entries are based on the most recent studies undertaken by the Cambridge Illuminations Research Project; they are organised geographically by place of origin, and, within that grouping, listed chronologically. The present two-volume catalogue deals with the early manuscripts produced in the Frankish Kingdoms, the splendid, richly illustrated books from the Northern and Southern Netherlands ranging from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, illuminations from the Meuse region, manuscripts both in Latin and the vernacular from the late eleventh to the end of the sixteenth century from Germany, and lastly an interesting group of books from Bohemia, Austria and Hungary. The focus of the catalogue is on the illumination, and includes detailed listings of all miniatures, decoration and ornamentation, which are made easily accessible by the inclusion of an exhaustive iconographic index. Entries also include much information on the textual contents of the manuscripts and on their provenance, as well as the most recent bibliographical references. Every manuscript catalogued is also illustrated, generally with several images, providing readers with a corpus of some 750 illustrations which are all reproduced in full colour.‎

Review "These volumes triumphantly justify 'paper cataloguing'. [...] The authors and sponsors are to be warmly congratulated and urged to complete a series that makes a fundamental contribution to knowledge." (Catherine Reynolds, in The Burlington Magazine CLIII, March 2011, p. 182) On ne peut que se r jouir de la qualit de ces deux premiers volumes et souhaiter la parution rapide des tomes suivants. (A. Ch telet, dans Art et M tiers du Livre 31, D c 2009-f v 2010, p. 91-92) "The first two beautifully designed volumes of Illuminated Manuscripts in Cambridge have all the indices and finding aids (including an index of biblical and non-biblical iconography) to facilitate further research. They are brimming with ideas, are full of dissertation topics, and are testaments to the bounty ? intellectual and sensuous or even sybaritic ? spread out before students of medieval manuscripts." (Kathryn M. Rudy, in HNA Review of Books) "This updating of the traditional manuscript catalogue is a very useful addition to the scholarship on manuscripts in English collections, in part because of the precision and brevity of the updated information, but especially because of the sumptuous illustrations, which provide the irreplaceable visual context for the textual information the catalogue presents." (Stephen Clancy, in Speculum 86/3, July 2011, p. 789) "The series will be a landmark in manuscript studies, and one can only hope that further support will hasten further projected volumes." (Rowan Watson, in: The Burlington Magazine, vol. CLIV, 2012, p. 847) "Esta calidad editorial y cient fica, presentes en los dem s tomos y vol menes que conforman la serie Illuminated Manuscripts in Cambridge de Harvey Miller/Brepols, es un excelente modelo a tener en cuenta para la edici n de futuros cat logos de manuscritos iluminados." (Isabel Escandell Proust, in: Codex Aquilarensis, 29, 2013, p. 289-304) (?) un instrument de travail pr cieux pour le chercheur et l?amateur clair . (Marc Gil, dans Le Moyen Age, 1, 2017, p. 207) ‎
