‎Between Body and Soul in Old Norse Literature. Emotions and the Mutability of Form‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 224 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605883.‎


‎Summary What did the body mean for inhabitants of the medieval Norse-speaking world? How was the physical body viewed? Where did the boundary lie between corporality and the psychological or spiritual aspects of humanity? And how did such an understanding tie in with popular literary motifs such as shape-shifting? This monograph seeks to engage with these questions by offering the first focused work to delineate a space for ideas about the body within the Old Norse world. The connections between emotions and bodily changes are examined through discussion of the physical manifestations of emotion (tiredness, changes in facial colour, swelling), while the author offers a detailed analysis of the Old Norse term hamr, a word that could variously mean shape, form, and appearance, but also character. Attention is also paid to changes of physical form linked to flight and battle ecstasy, as well as to magical shapeshifting. Through this approach, diametrically different ways of thinking about the connection between body and soul can be found, and the argument made that within the Old Norse world, concepts of change within the body rested along a spectrum that ranged from the purely physical through to the psychological. In doing so, this volume offers a broader understanding of what physicality and spirituality might have meant in the Middle Ages. TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction.

‎Augustin exégète et prédicateur dans les Sermons sur Matthieu‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 722 pages, Size:165 x 250 mm, Language: French. ISBN 9782851213037.‎


‎Summary In his preaching, does Augustine of Hippo adapt his biblical commentaries and, if so, according to what criteria? To answer this question, this book studies the exegesis of some twenty sermons preached on the Gospel of Matthew. The first chapter places them in their historical, geographical, polemical and liturgical contexts. The following chapters investigate the patristic tradition and the Augustinian works in order to shed light on the specificity of the interpretations; the rhetorical dimension is also taken into account. Through their scriptural interpretations, these sermons assume the concrete situation of the audience and are inserted into the dynamics of the liturgy from which they receive the material for the commentary and the finality that guides it. Their exegesis is situated at the intersection between the Word of God which it extends and implements (chapters 2 to 4) and the responses it seeks to elicit from the listeners (chapters 5 to 7). This desire to edify the listeners, both personally and communally, while aiming at spiritual progress and orthopraxis rooted in the confessed truth, helps to enlighten the preacher's adaptation of the Sermons on Matthew. Dans sa prédication, Augustin d'Hippone adapte-t-il ses commentaires bibliques et, si oui, selon quels critères ? Pour répondre à cette question, cet ouvrage étudie l'exégèse d'une vingtaine de sermons prêchés sur l'Évangile de Matthieu. Un premier chapitre les replace dans leurs contextes d'énonciation, historiques, géographiques, polémiques et liturgiques. Les chapitres suivants procèdent à une enquête dans la tradition patristique et dans l'oeuvre augustinienne pour, le cas échéant, mettre en lumière la spécificité des interprétations ; la dimension rhétorique est aussi prise en compte. Ces sermons assument par leurs interprétations scripturaires la situation concrète de l'assemblée et s'insèrent dans la dynamique de la liturgie dont ils reçoivent la matière du commentaire et la finalité qui l'oriente. Leur exégèse se situe à l'intersection entre la Parole de Dieu qu'elle prolonge et met en oeuvre (chapitres 2 à 4) et les réponses qu'elle cherche à susciter de la part des auditeurs (chapitres 5 à 7). Cette volonté d'édifier les auditeurs, à la fois personnellement et communautairement, en visant tout autant un progrès spirituel et une orthopraxie découlant de la vérité confessée, contribue à éclairer l'adaptation du prédicateur dans les Sermons sur Matthieu.

‎Architecte et paysagiste formée à l?Institut d?architecture Saint-Luc de Liège, Anne Rondia développe une pratique professionnelle qui l?amène à aborder tant l?insertion paysagère d?infrastructures de transport en divers milieux que la conception et la gestion d?espaces publics d?échelles et de natures très variées en milieu urbain, principalement en tant qu?auteur de projet au sein de la Ville de Liège (1994-2017). Son apport dans la redéfinition des espaces publics est fondamental. Il se caractérise entre autres par une vision sociétale engagée, orientée vers les pratiques habitantes, respectueuse du contexte historique et paysager tout en soutenant l?intégration d??uvres d?art dans l?espace public. Les aménagements portés par Anne Rondia sont nombreux : quai des Tanneurs, place Émile Wiket, cour du Cinéma Sauvenière? Mais c?est surtout en remportant le concours pour le parc Saint-Léonard (en association avec Arlette Baumans et Aloys Beguin, 1994) et avec les projets du parc Sainte-Agathe (Prix de l?urbanisme, 2015) et de valorisation touristique des Coteaux de la Citadelle à Liège qu?Anne Rondia touche à la reconnaissance tant de la critique que du grand public. Ce dernier projet obtient en 2016 le prix du paysage de Wallonie et une mention spéciale pour la participation du public, au prix européen du paysage 2017. De 1980 à 2013, Anne Rondia partage ses expériences et son expertise en tant qu?assistante puis chef de travaux à Saint-Luc puis à la faculté d?architecture de l?Université de Liège et exerce actuellement en tant que conseillère ou partenaire pour le paysage dans le cadre d?équipes pluridisciplinaires.‎

‎Sublime Truth and the Senses: Titian's Poesie for King Philip II of Spain‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, iv + 232 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:71 b/w, 77 col., Languages: English, Italian, Latin. ISBN 9781909400276.‎


‎Summary The paintings for Philip II, known as the Poesie, are among the most frequently discussed works of art that address a favored Renaissance theme, the influence of the pagan gods on human actions. The commission is traceable to 1549, when Emperor Charles V summoned the artist to Augsburg following Prince Philip's triumphal parade through the empire as his father's heir apparent. The cycle that took shape comprises Danae and Venus and Adonis (Madrid, Prado); Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Callisto (Edinburgh, National Gallery of Scotland); Perseus and Andromeda (London, Wallace Collection) and Europa (Boston, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum). These masterpieces of the artist's mature period can be considered the most important Renaissance grouping of mythological paintings executed by a single artist. The author proposes that Philip's expected elevation prompted the commission and that the subjects form a cohesive program of Hapsburg ethical views and political concerns, and that Titian created new visual idioms to represent the complex issues which the subjects address in part by engaging themes with a significant prior history in family patronage. While Titian's Poesie for Philip II are well known monuments of western culture, they have never before been investigated with this focus. The dispersal of the pictures' in the seventeenth century resulted in a scholarly focus on the single pictures and a concentration on their sensual aspects. In Aretino, a Venetian dialogue on painting, Titian's friend and apologist Lodovico Dolce is a spokesman for art that following poetry, entices through beauty, while hiding important truths beneath the veil of allegory. This study analyzes the ways in which Titian incorporates new concepts of sensuality and spirituality in a Venetian vernacular to create masterpieces whose originality and ravishing beauty belie their didactic content.‎

‎Jews and Muslims under the Fourth Lateran Council. Papers Commemorating the Octocentenary of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215)‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 280 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581514.‎


‎Summary The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) was groundbreaking for having introduced to medieval Europe a series of canons that sought to regulate encounters between Christians and Jews and Muslims. Its canon 68 demanded that Jews and Muslims wear distinguishing dress, in order to prevent Christians from entering into illicit sexual relations with them, restricted the movement of Jews in public spaces during Holy Week, and exhorted secular authorities to punish Jews who in any way "insult" or blaspheme against Christ himself. Other canons sought to exercise greater control over moneylending, to provide relief to Christian borrowers, to extract tithes from Jews who held Christian properties as pledges, and prohibited Jews from exercising power as public officials over Christians. The canons condemned converts who preserved elements from their former religion, promoted a fifth Crusade to the East, exempted Crusaders from taxes and from interest payments to Jewish moneylenders, restricted trade with Muslims or Saracens, and condemned Christians who provided arms or assistance to Saracens. The Council's canons affected the missionary efforts of the late medieval Church and its attempts to convert Jewish and Muslim minorities, and established essential guidance on minority relations not to be surpassed until Vatican II in the 1960s.

‎ Baga, Visions of Africa‎

‎, 5 Continents, 2019 softcover, 148 pages, 72 ills. 16,5 x 24 cm., test in English, *new. ISBN 9788874398201.‎


‎The Baga, along with the Nalu and the Landuma, are a small rice-growing community living along the coast of Guinea, in West Africa. They became famous following the discovery of their extraordinary sculptures by explorers, colonial administrators, ethnologists, collectors, and art dealers towards the end of the nineteenth century. Nowadays, the art of the Baga is admired in the public and private collections of northern European countries. Their works consist mainly of different types of wooden masks and statues of various sizes, as well as wonderful percussion instruments, chiefs' seats, and other skillfully carved utilitarian objects. All these sacred objects were once created and used as important features in their ritual behavior based on the manifestation of their divinities, ancestor worship, rites of passage, secret brotherhoods, and the performance of important social ceremonies like weddings, funerals, and harvesting. But more recently they have also included entirely new sculpted works created by talented, highly skilled craftsmen who were influenced by colonization and newly introduced religions, while at the same time finding inspiration in traditional myths and legends. Fascinating examples of this eclecticism are the figures of colonists depicted standing, on horseback, or riding birds, the many different kinds of female busts representing Mami Wata, the sea goddess, winged figures, bestiaries associated with tales and legends, and the personifications of the heroic founders of their villages.‎
