The posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954?2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf?s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception. This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf?s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpa s Du Bois ( 1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf?s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois?s stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2014), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.

Scarce first edition of the epoch-making work that founded modern philological scholarship and began the modern debate over the date of writing of Homer's works, creating in turn the two Homeric schools of thought, the Analysts and the Unitarians. Although the work bears on the title-page the words ""Volumen I"", no second volume ever appeared, and Wolf never made any attempt to compose it. ""When Wolf took up his professorship in 1783, a critical point in the history of education had been reached. New ideas derived from Locke and Rousseau were at work and Wolf longed to enter the fray. He found able and enlightened allies in the ministers of Frederick the Great, and with their help and by his enthusiasm he was able to carry out his long-cherished plan to give a new basis to the science of philology. To Wolf this meant philology in the original sense - love of letters, of learning and of language. He defined it as ""the knowledge of human nature as exhibited in antiquity"""" its matter was everything that remained of ancient culture, to which an equal care and scholarship must be devoted. The ""Prolegomena to Homer"", the best exposition of Wolf's beliefs, were written in a great hurry to meet the needs of a lecture course, and they have all the merits of good lectures: command of method, the gift of inspiration, penetration and breadth of view. Wolf's thesis is no theory, but a collection of great ideas, which laid the foundations for the dominance of German scholarship in the nineteenth century. They have inspired and given purpose to education ever since."" (Printing and the Mind of Man).With the 18th century came major developments in classical scholarship, the greatest of the classic epics being no exception - Homeric scholarship changed dramatically, and the end of the century saw the opening of the discussion which was to dominate the 19th and 20th centuries, namely that of the ""Homeric question"". The Homeric question is essentially the question of the identity of the poet(s) of the Homeric epics, and the nature of the relationship between ""Homer"" and the epics. In the 19th century it came to be the fulcrum between two opposed schools of thought, the Analysts and the Unitarians. The issue came about in the context of 18th-century Romantic interest in popular lays and folktale, and the growing recognition that the Homeric epics must have been transmitted orally before being written down, possibly much later than ""Homer"" himself. The key to determining who Homer was, lay in the answer to the question of when the poems were composed.The modern debate over exactly when they took on a fixed written form, began with the present work by Wolf. According to Wolf, the date of writing is among the first questions in the textual criticism of Homer. He considers the real mode of transmission of the poems and acknowledges that it was oral, arguing that they were composed in the mid-10th century BC. He further concludes that the Iliad and the Odyssey could not have been composed in the form in which we know them without the aid of writing and that they changed considerably over time in the hands of bards performing them orally and editors adapting written versions to contemporary tastes. The apparent artistic unity of the poems must have come about after their transcription.This new form of philological scholarship completely altered the way that philology has been done ever since the appearance of the present work.

Edition originale des traductions en français par Louis Langlès de cette réunion de 3 travaux réunis en 2 parties sur Pégu, ville portuaire du sud de la Birmanie, et le Ceylan, Sri Lanka actuel (E.O. : I. Londres, 1785, II. Berlin & Stettin, 1782 et Hambourg, 1782). William Hunter (1718-1783), médecin, professeur, anatomiste et orientaliste écossais, vécut une grande partie de sa vie en Inde. Après avoir choisi de faire une maîtrise en arts à l'Université de Glasgow, qui le mènerait à une carrière religieuse, il vient à la médecine en étudiant avec William Cullen (1710-1790 ; médecin et chimiste britannique). Il commence à s'intéresser à l'anatomie au St George's Hospital de Londres, se spécialise dans l'obstétrique et arrive à établir ce domaine comme une branche à part entière et acceptée de la médecine. Après 1756, la pratique médicale de Hunter était principalement consacrée à l'obstétrique, et il était le spécialiste le plus performant dans ce domaine en Grande-Bretagne à son époque, devenant médecin de la reine Charlotte en 1762. Il est élu membre de la Royal Society en 1767 et professeur d'anatomie à la Royal Academy en 1768. Pour aider à l'enseignement de la dissection, il engage le sculpteur Agostino Carlini (vers 1718-1790; sculpteur, peintre et membre fondateur de la Royal Academy) pour faire des sculptures des écorchés d'un criminel récemment exécuté. Il est très intéressé par l'art et a de vastes connexions avec le monde artistique. Hunter choisit pour illustrer ses schémas les dessins de Léonard de Vinci (1452-1519 ; célébrissime peintre italien et homme d'esprit universel) et Kenneth Clark (1903-1983 ; historien de l'art, auteur, directeur de musée, professeur d'université) le considère comme la personne qui a permis la redécouverte des dessins de Léonard de Vinci au XVIIIe siècle au Royaume-Uni. En outre, Hunter est un collectionneur de minéraux, monnaies, instruments scientifiques, objets ethnographiques, de livres rares et d'uvres d'art en tout genre. Il a légué ses collections à l'université de Glasgow, un acte qui a inspiré l'ouverture du Hunterian Museum, le premier musée public d'Écosse, en 1807. Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Hunter prend le poste de chirurgien sur un vaisseau de marine avant de passer au service de la Compagnie des Indes dans le Bengale. Il est envoyé à Java comme inspecteur général des hôpitaux, professeur et examinateur du collège de Calcutta et enfin, secrétaire de la Société asiatique. Hunter a rassemblé les matériaux pour la première partie du présent ouvrage en juillet 1782, lorsque son navire a été retenu par une tempête à Pegu. Il décrit les produits et l'agriculture de Pegu, ainsi que les grottes d'Elephanta, d'Ambola et de Canara. Cette partie est complétée par un important compte rendu de Ceylan, le tout traduit de langlais (E.O. : Londres, 1785). La seconde partie intitulée "La vie et les avantures de Jean-Christophe Wolf [...] (pp. 96-354), traduit de lallemand (E.O. : Berlin & Stettin, 1782) est due à Wolf lui-même, relate ses aventures à Ceylan. Johann Christoph Wolf (1683-1739) est un savant, hébraïste allemand, professeur de langues orientales à Hambourg, recteur de l'académie de cette même ville et premier secrétaire d'État à Jaffanapatnam à Ceylan. Suit la traduction de lallemand en français (E.O. : Hambourg, 1782) de la description abrégée de cette île due à Adolf Eschelskroon (1736-1793), explorateur danois, marchand, consul et agent royal danois à Kiel qui vécut aux Indes orientales pendant 18 ans. Provenance : le Baron Zangiacomi (1766-1846), magistrat et un homme politique français : il est successivement pair de France, président de chambre et conseiller à la Cour de cassation, membre du Conseil des Cinq-Cents et député de la Convention nationale (ex-libris armorié gravé collé au dos du premier plat). Rare édition en français dont on ne dénombre que quelques exemplaires passés en vente ces 100 dernières années. 1 vol. 8vo (200 x 128 mm.) in 2 parts with continuous pagination of : part 1 : 32 pp. (of which false title, title) ; 95 pp. ; part 2 : [2] ff. (false title, title); 354 pp. (including table, resumption of pagination at 97, jumps and errors in pagination without incidence, 351 pp. in reality). Engraved armorial bookplate pasted to the back cover: "Bibliothèque de Mr. Le Baron de Zangiacomi". (Some spotting, foxing and marks due to the leather). Contemporary half-basane with corners, boards covered with glue paper, spine ribbed and decorated, titles in red and green morocco, edges speckled with blue. (Defects of use). First edition of the French translations by Louis Langlès of this collection of 3 works in 2 parts on Pegu, a port city in southern Burma, and Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka (E.O.: I. London, 1785, II. Berlin & Stettin, 1782 and Hamburg, 1782). William Hunter (1718-1783), a Scottish physician, teacher, anatomist and orientalist, lived much of his life in India. After choosing to pursue a Master of Arts degree at Glasgow University, which would lead to a religious career, he came to medicine by studying with William Cullen (1710-1790; British physician and chemist). He became interested in anatomy at St. George's Hospital in London, specialized in obstetrics, and succeeded in establishing this field as a separate and accepted branch of medicine. After 1756, Hunter's medical practice was primarily devoted to obstetrics, and he was the most successful specialist in this field in Britain in his day, becoming physician to Queen Charlotte in 1762. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1767 and Professor of Anatomy at the Royal Academy in 1768. To help teach dissection, he hired the sculptor Agostino Carlini (c. 1718-1790; sculptor, painter and founding member of the Royal Academy) to make sculptures of the flayed body of a recently executed criminal. He was very interested in art and had extensive connections to the art world. Hunter chooses to illustrate his diagrams with the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519; celebrated Italian painter and universal mind) and Kenneth Clark (1903-1983; art historian, author, museum director, university professor) considers him the person who brought about the rediscovery of da Vinci's 18th century drawings in the UK. In addition, Hunter is a collector of minerals, coins, scientific instruments, ethnographic objects, rare books and works of art of all kinds. He bequeathed his collections to the University of Glasgow, an act that inspired the opening of the Hunterian Museum, the first public museum in Scotland, in 1807. In the last years of his life, Hunter took the position of surgeon on a naval vessel before moving to the service of the India Company in Bengal. He was sent to Java as Inspector General of Hospitals, Professor and Examiner of the College of Calcutta and finally, Secretary of the Asiatic Society. Hunter gathered the materials for the first part of this work in July 1782, when his ship was held up by a storm at Pegu. He describes the produce and agriculture of Pegu, as well as the caves of Elephanta, Ambola, and Canara. This part is completed by an important account of Ceylon, all translated from English (E.O.: London, 1785). The second part, entitled "The life and adventures of Johann Christoph Wolf [...]" (translated from French, pp. 96-354), translated from the German (E.O.: Berlin & Stettin, 1782), is due to Wolf himself and relates his adventures in Ceylon. Johann Christoph Wolf (1683-1739) was a German scholar, Hebraist, professor of Oriental languages in Hamburg, rector of the academy of the same city and first secretary of state in Jaffanapatnam in Ceylon. Follows the translation from German into French (E.O.: Hamburg, 1782) of the abridged description of this island due to Adolf Eschelskroon (1736-1793), Danish explorer, merchant, consul and royal Danish agent in Kiel who lived in the East Indies for 18 years. Provenance: Baron Zangiacomi (1766-1846), a French magistrate and politician: he was successively peer of France, president of chamber and adviser to the Court of Cassation, member of the Council of Five Hundred and deputy of the National Convention (armorial bookplate engraved pasted on the back of the first plate). Rare edition in French of which only a few copies have been sold in the last 100 years.
