‎Carolingian Experiments‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 298 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503594101.‎

‎Summary Carolingian Experiments presents essays exploring how the Carolingians (ca. 700-ca. 900 CE) ? a regime known especially for concerns over imperial power, order, and moral correction ? fostered a remarkable era of experimentation in medieval Europe. The scholars featured here ask new questions and conduct their own methodological experiments to uncover some of the many ways that people innovated within the Carolingian world. To that end, numerous themes are covered in this volume: culture and society, family and politics, religion and spirituality, literature and historiography, law and hierarchy, epistemology and science. This array of scholarly experiments reveals some of the range and depth of Carolingian invention. Furthermore, the essays consider how Carolingian innovation can be found in places both more and less known today, employing novel approaches to unearth some unexpected, even uncanny phenomena. This volume consequently offers a defamiliarizing view of the Franks, unveiling them as a people whose seemingly straightforward imperialism and reform were effective precisely because they stimulated and nurtured potent, creative impulses. In fact, one might argue that the Carolingian world's conservative, moralizing authorities ? despite, or perhaps at times because of, their determination to instil correct thought and behaviour in their subjects ? fostered many varieties of experimentation. Collectively, the authors of this volume seek to inspire new thinking about the Carolingians, while modelling alternative approaches and potential avenues for future research. Carolingian Experiments overall encourages readers to see that much remains unexplored, unknown and even unexpected about the Carolingians and their world.

‎Thorvald Hellesen 1888-1937‎

‎Blakkisrud, Dag, Matthew Drutt, Hilde Morch: Thorvald Hellesen 1888-1937. 2022. 272 pages, 280 colour illustrations. Hardback. 28 x 24cms. Thorvald Hellesen (1888-1937) was a Norwegian avant-garde artist who lived and worked in Paris in the 1910s and 1920s. He and his wife, the French artist HÃlÚne Perdriat, were part of a circle of artists that included Pablo Picasso, Fernand LÃger, Constantin Brâncusi, Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and many others. In his short yet intense life, Thorvald Hellesen created an impressive unique oeuvre, oriented on Modernism, consisting of oil paintings, watercolours, gouaches, drawings, design projects, and textiles. Nevertheless, even in Norway he is only known to a few. With this publication the authors Dag Blakkisrud, Matthew Drutt, and Hilde MÞrch have created a written portrait of Hellesen. In addition to classifying him within the history of art, they try to find explanations as to why his artistic practice is only now being considered important and interesting for Norwegian and international art history. Text in English and Norwegian.‎

He survived shipwreck and disaster only to be imprisoned for violating the terms of his scientific passport by changing ships and carrying prohibited papers. He identified and corrected the effect upon compass readings of iron components and equipment on board wooden ships and he wrote what may be the first work on early Australian exploration A Voyage to Terra Australis.""(Wikepedia)‎

‎Theatres of Belief: Music and Conversion in the Early Modern City‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 12 col., 10 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598871.‎

‎Summary These eleven essays, all centrally concerned with the intimate relationship between sound, religion, and society in the early modern world, present a sequence of test cases located in a wide variety of urban environments in Europe and the Americas. Written by an international cast of acclaimed historians and musicologists, they explore in depth the interrelated notions of conversion and confessionalisation in the shared belief that the early modern city was neither socially static nor religiously uniform. With its examples drawn from the Holy Roman Empire and the Southern Netherlands, the pluri-religious Mediterranean, and the colonial Americas both North and South, this book takes discussion of the urban soundscape, so often discussed in purely traditional terms of European institutional histories, to a new level of engagement with the concept of a totally immersive acoustic environment as conceptualised by R. Murray Schafer. From the Protestants of Douai, a bastion of the Catholic Reformation, to the bi-confessional city of Augsburg and seventeenth-century Farmington in Connecticut, where the indigenous Indian population fashioned a separate Christian entity, the intertwined religious, musical, and emotional lives of specifically grounded communities of early modern men and women are here vividly brought to life.

‎PLEURANTS : Albasten treurfiguren voor het grafmonument van Jean de Berry (1340-1416) ‎

‎, Phoebus Focus XXVI, 2022 PB, 210 x 148 mm, 88 p., NL editie., Phoebus Focus XXVI ISBN 9789464366211.‎

‎iddeleeuwse sculpturen zijn notoir moeilijk te bestuderen. Al te vaak is hun oorspronkelijke context en functie door eeuwen van slijtage, veranderingen of verwaarlozing verloren gegaan. Hierdoor ontgaat hun esthetische impact, betekenis of symbolische complexiteit ons soms volledig en kunnen nuances er slechts met moeite uit worden afgeleid of gereconstrueerd. Gelukkig is dit niet het geval voor de twee prachtige pleurants - of treurfiguren - in de collectie van The Phoebus Foundation. Deze Phoebus Focus neemt je mee op een queeste vol vragen en ontdekkingen: wie waren deze mannen, voor wie werden deze beelden gemaakt en waarom? Matthew Reeves vertelt het verhaal van een van Frankrijks rijkste prinsen, Jan van Berry, zijn intense liefde voor de kunst en de manieren waarop beeldhouwkunst gebruikt werd om te herdenken, tot gebed aan te sporen en politieke doeleinden te dienen. Matthew Reeves is directeur van een van 's werelds meest toonaangevende galerie n voor Europese, middeleeuwse kunst. Hij co rdineert het internationale tentoonstellingsprogramma van de galerie en publiceert artikels en tentoonstellingscatalogi over diverse onderwerpen, waaronder glas-in-lood ramen, textiel, keramiek, sculptuur en paneelschilderkunst uit de late middeleeuwen en de renaissance. Hij is gespecialiseerd in het artistieke mecenaat van hertog Jan van Berry (1340-1416), en meer bepaald in zijn Sainte-Chapelle, het bijhorende decoratieve programma en het grafmonument.‎

‎The uncommon first printing of Arnold's groundbreaking work on translating Homer, which constitutes the most important work in the history of translation-theory of the Homeric corpus. The work revolutionized the understanding of Homer in general, of the Homeric language and all following efforts to translate the Odyssey and the Iliad. ""The best-known commentary on how the Homeric text should be translated was written by the Victorian poet and literary and social critic Matthew Arnold in 1861, with many subsequent editions and reprintings. ""His lectures on translating Homer were the first adequate estimate, at least in English, of the literary qualities of the ""Iliad"" and ""Odyssey"" and did much to destroy the notion of a native genius or inspired folk-poet. Homer was now seen to be a conscious artist and took his place once and for all as the chief poet of antiquity, as Dante was of the Middle Ages and Shakespeare of modern times."" In his book Arnold reviewed most of the existing English translations … From this review and his own observations he extrapolated several rules for translating Homer. First, a translator should be ""faithful"" to the original, an ideal Arnold noted requires the translator to choose between producing a text so smooth that the reader does not realize it is a translation versus reproducing certain oddities of the original language to remind the reader of its origin. Second, a translator should seek to reproduce Homer's style and effect on the reader."" (Young, The Printed Homer, 2008, p. 88). Matthew Arnold (1822 -1888) was a famous English poet and cultural critic, who worked as an inspector of schools. In 1857, he was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford and was the first in this position to deliver his lectures in English rather than in Latin. His first major achievement as Oxford-professor was his three lectures ""On Translating Homer"" that were published as they are here, in 1861. ""[T]he most substantial fruits of his professorship were the three lectures ""On Translating Homer"" (1861)-in which he recommended Homer's plainness and nobility as medicine for the modern world, with its ""sick hurry and divided aims"" and condemned Francis Newman's recent translation as ignoble and eccentric..."" (Encycl. Britt.). The work had an enormous effect on Homer studies and on classical scholarship, translation-practice, and literary theory in general.‎
