Basilea Patristica. Praefationes in Ambrosii, Augustini, Gregorii Magni Opera. Humanistische Vorreden zu Basler Kirchenv ter-Gesamtausgaben
, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 365 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Languages: Latin, Greek, German. ISBN 9782503580685.
Summary Was blicherweise am Rande einer Ausgabe steht, r ckt in den Mittelpunkt des vorliegenden Bandes: die praefationes zu den Basler Gesamtausgaben von drei prominenten Kirchenv tern der lateinischen Tradition (Ambrosius von Mailand, Augustinus von Hippo und Gregor der Gro e). In der fr hen Neuzeit (bis ca. Mitte 16. Jh.) war Basel ein europaweit bekanntes Zentrum f r die Buchproduktion und die Edition antiker und fr hchristlicher Autoren. Die Vorreden bzw. Widmungsbriefe der Ausgaben dieser Schriftsteller beleuchten das geistlich und philologisch gepr gte Interesse f r die genannten Autoren, die in der Zeit des Humanismus und der Reformation wiederentdeckt und neu gelesen wurden. Diese praefationes sind kulturhistorisch aufschlussreiche und sprachlich oft kunstvoll gestaltete Paratexte. Sie lagen bisher zumeist nur in den jeweiligen Fr hdrucken vor; hier werden sie zum ersten Mal kritisch ediert und durch eine deutsche bersetzung sowie einen knappen Kommentar erschlossen.

Basilea Patristica II: Praefationes in Hieronymi Opera. Humanistische Vorreden zu Basler Hieronymus-Gesamtausgaben
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 234, Size:156 x 234 mm, Languages: Latin, Greek, German. ISBN 9782503622774.
Summary Im Humanismus war Hieronymus, einer der vier V ter der lateinischen Kirche, f r seine Gelehrsamkeit hoch gesch tzt. Erasmus f hlte sich zu ihm besonders hingezogen: Dies schl gt sich am deutlichsten in den praefationes zu den drei Hieronymus-Gesamtausgaben nieder, die er von 1516 bis zu seinem Tod (1536) beim Basler Drucker Froben betreute. Im vorliegenden Band sind diese Vorreden (samt jenen der Frobenschen Ausgabe von 1553) chronologisch ediert, mit kritischem und Similien-Apparat sowie mit historisch-philologischen Anmerkungen versehen. Die Edition erg nzt jene der praefationes zu den anderen drei V tern der lateinischen Kirche (Ambrosius, Augustinus und Gregor der Gro e), die ebenfalls im humanistischen Basel in der ersten H lfte des 16. Jh. erschienen sind (Basilea patristica, 2019). So bieten die beiden B nde die Textgrundlage f r weiterf hrende Untersuchungen im Rahmen der Patristik, der neulateinischen Literatur und Philologie sowie der fr hmodernen Kulturgeschichte an.

Beginnings of Opera in Europe. Origins, Adaptations, and Cultural Exchange
, Brepols, 2026 Paperback, Pages: 337, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 12 col., 7 tables b/w., 2 tables col., 1 musical example, Languages:English, German, Italian. ISBN 9782503583648.
Summary This is the first book dedicated to the early history of opera in Europe from a comparative perspective. It takes into account not only the various beginnings of opera in Italy around 1600 (Florence, Rome, Mantua), but also the mechanisms of reception and adaptation of the new genre outside of Italy in the following decades (in the German-speaking realm, and in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania). Questions of genre and its terminology are discussed as well as the history, function, and contents of librettos and their distinctive linguistic and structural devices. Special attention is paid to issues of performance practice, such as the assignation of certain types of roles to certain types of singers, and staging. In order to broaden this perspective, the influence of Spanish 17th-century spoken drama on the early Venetian opera is explored. Furthermore, the beginnings of regional operatic traditions outside of Italy (such as in Spain and France) play a central role, along with the specifically English concept of 'dramatic opera', and the question of music in spoken drama. In this way, new and fascinating insights can be gained into opera in its initial phase (roughly from 1600 to 1680), including its development and regional styles, its acceptance or rejection, and the critical discourse surrounding the genre.

Summary This study interrogates press caricatures and cartoons, staged revue and opera parodies to reveal the role they play within the Parisian theatrical, social and cultural sphere. From the beginnings of Wagner reception in Paris, through the heyday of opra-bouffe in the hands of that comic genius Herv, to the international operatic repertoire played on Parisian stages in the 1890s especially works by Verdi and Wagner performed during an increasingly tense nationalist climate alongside those by Massenet, Reyer and Saint-Sans this book examines the workings of parody which draws on opera for its subject material, its appeal, and for whom. Parodys repetition of dramatic and musical conventions is compounded by the abundance of revue shows on Parisian stages, by prolific authors such as Clairville, which deftly used well-known opera and operetta repertoire alongside the scie that popular tune given new words countless times over to create new yet familiar theatrical experiences. Indeed, by the 1890s, the words and musics of Faust, Carmen and Guillaume Tell in particular, held resonant value to signify the operatic. Aside from political caricature in which the figure of Wagner became embroiled, the ways in which parody brings together the high and the low to mock cultural norms, to neutralise alterity or innovation and refocus commentary onto internal, local, conventional and legitimised cultural products and debates becomes apparent. Opera and Parody in Paris, 18601900 thus uncovers a huge amount of primary and hitherto unpublished sources in an analysis of highly appealing intermedial materials that dominated Parisian print and stage culture in the late-nineteenth century.

Joseph Urban: Architecture, Theatre, Opera, Film
New York, Abbeville Press, 1992 Linnen binding, missing dustjacket, 272 pages, 31 x 23.5 cm, english text. *fine condition. ISBN 9780896599123.
Synopsis: This is the first biography of Joseph Urban designer of furniture, stage, opera and film sets, also interiors, decorative objects and buildings. He was a household name in his time and his reputation is now set for a revival. Born in Vienna in 1872, the multi-talented Urban was already enjoying a career in archiecture, stage design, and book illustration before he was brought to America in 1911 to do stage settings for the Boston Opera. By 1914 his highly regarded productions had caught the eye of impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, who lured him away to design nearly all of his shows and Follies on through the 1920s. His lush stagecraft soon revolutionized all of American theatre design, attracting the attention of William Randolph Hearst, who enticed Urban into becoming artistic director for his Cosmopolitan movie studio, where he designed all of the Marion Davies films. During this period he also operated a showcase on Fifth Avenue for the Wiener Werkstatte and was artistic director of the Metropolitan Opera. Many of his original opera settings continued in use well into the New York cityscape, many of which, unfortunately, have been demolished, including the original Ziegfield Theatre and Central Park Casino. However, the Hearst Building and the New School for Social Research, the city's first International Style building, remain. Several of his works in Palm Beach still stand, including his most extravagant extant construction, Mar-a-Lago, the former Post estate now owned by Donald Trump. Reviews: Renaissance man Joseph Urban (1872-1933) is rediscovered in this first full-scale biography and appreciation. Urban acquired a reputation in fin-de-siecle Vienna for architecture, stage design, and book illustration. He arrived in America in 1911 to design productions for the Boston Opera and stayed to make an impact on theater stagecraft, opera and movie sets, Art Deco and International Style architecture, and industrial design. Relying on the vast Urban Archives at Columbia University and interviews with Urban's daughter Gretl, this rigorously researched and lavishly illustrated volume (with 282 images, 129 in color) revives the spirit and personality of one of the century's most talented designers. An important choice for academic and larger public libraries with specialized interests. - Russell T. Clement, Brigham Young Univ. Lib., Provo, Ut.
