‎New Latin Contexts for Old English Homilies: Editions and Studies of Ten Sources and Analogues‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xii + 504 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442338.‎

‎Summary This book sheds new light on the Latin background of various Old English homilies, and of certain homilies from related vernacular traditions. Two broad themes are treated, the Nativity of Christ and Christian eschatology; the volume contains five Latin texts dealing with each theme. Critical editions, full English translations, and detailed introductions and commentaries are included, as well as case studies that demonstrate the relevance of each text to one or more homilies written in Old English, and, in a few cases, early Middle English and Old Norse. While the volume is intended for scholars of early English preaching, many of the texts hold considerable intrinsic interest and should have general appeal for medievalists, students of preaching, and those working on the transmission of biblical apocrypha in the Latin West.

‎Roman Mosaics of Britain Volume III: South-East Britain (2 vols) ‎

‎London, Society of Antiquaries of London, 2009 Two volumes, linnen bound, 600 pages, 31 x 24.5 cm. EN. New!. ISBN 9780854312894.‎

‎The third volume in this massive project to create the first complete corpus of the Roman mosaics of Britain covers the areas of Britain that were first to come under Roman control and where some of Britain's most impressive mosaics are to be found - in Colchester, Silchester, London and Verulamium, and in villas and palaces at Brading, Bignor, Fishbourne and Rockbourne. In their introduction to the volume, the authors trace the origins of mosaic-making in Britain, and the development of colour palettes and motifs, from the mainly black-and-white geometric designs of first-century Fishbourne Palace, reflecting contemporary Gaulish fashions, to the more elaborate polychrome designs of the third and fourth centuries, featuring figures from classical mythology, some of which (like Brading's Orpheus taming the animals with his music, or Lullingstone's Bellerophon slaying the Chimera) had been invested with new meaning as symbols of Christianity. They consider too the types of buildings with which mosaics are associated, the functions of mosaic-decorated rooms, the materials from which they are made, the impact of mosaic discoveries on early antiquaries and the pioneering mosaic paintings of artists such as Richard Smirke and Charles Stothard, published in Samuel Lysons' Reliquae Britanniae Romanae (1817). The catalogue follows the format of earlier volumes in providing an account of each mosaic's discovery and locating the mosaic within its building plan. Every mosaic is described, with significant parallels and major references, and illustrated with the authors' own paintings, reproductions of historic engravings and photographs, taken in situ wherever possible, before lifting or restoration. The result is an unrivalled scholarly resource for anyone interested in Roman art, craftsmanship, architecture and social life, which will shortly be complete with the publication of the fourth and final volume on Western Britain, including Wales. About the Author: David S Neal, FSA (b 1940), was first introduced to Roman mosaics and archaeology at Verulamium in 1957 while studying graphic design at Watford School of Art. In 1961 he joined the Ancient Monuments Inspectorate of the then Ministry of Works as an archaeological illustrator and for almost fifteen years supervised the archaeological drawing office. In this period one of his tasks was to record mosaics found on excavations conducted, or sponsored, by the Government. From 1963 he began his own series of excavations on Roman villas in Hertfordshire and in 1975 became a full-time archaeologist with the Department of the Environment (later English Heritage). He is now a freelance consultant. He was made a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1971 and awarded a Doctor of Letters for his contribution to Romano-British villa studies in 1992. Stephen R Cosh, FSA (b 1950), studied archaeology at Reading University before embarking on a career in teaching. As with David Neal, his interests in art and archaeology led to the study of Romano-British mosaics which he has illustrated since the 1970s, soon adopting Neal's technique. He has written numerous articles on Roman mosaics, particularly the study of regional groups. He has been the Honorary Secretary of ASPROM (the Association for the Study and Preservation of Roman Mosaics) since 1993 and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 2002. The authors formally agreed to collaborate on the corpus in 1993.‎

‎London, Society of Antiquaries of London, 2010 Hardback with dustjacket, 480 Pages, 31 x 25 cm. NEW. EN. ISBN 9780854312948.‎

‎This volume brings to a triumphant conclusion this monumental project to catalogue, describe and illustrate every Romano-British mosaic. The area covered by the fourth and final volume in the corpus is one of the richest regions of Britain in economic as well as architectural and artistic terms and this is reflected in the quantity and quality of the region's mosaics, which include the largest figured mosaic ever found in Britain - the Woodchester Orpheus pavement - which was perhaps the inspiration for the other famous Orpheus mosaics of the Roman Cotswolds. At the heart of this affluent region is Cirencester, Roman Britain's second largest town, represented here by more than sixty mosaics, the second-century examples being the most exquisite in the country. There are also many fine mosaics from the region's highly ornate villas, as well as from the towns of Gloucester, Caerwent and Wroxeter. The catalogue follows the format of earlier volumes in providing an account of each mosaic's discovery and locating the mosaic within its building plan. Following the description are notable parallels and major references. Many of the illustrations are by the authors, with additional ones by Luigi Thompson, as well as photographs and historical engravings, a high proportion of the latter by Samuel Lysons whose home was in Gloucestershire where he did much of his pioneering work in archaeological excavation and illustration. Brief biographies of Lysons and all the other artists whose work grace all four volumes appear at the end of this volume. As with previous volume the work is preceded with a substantial introduction. This deals with the history and topography of the region, buildings and rooms, an assessment of regional workshops, and schemes, ending with a consideration of mosaics in relation to the end of Roman Britain. ‎

‎Belgicum is een fotoproject over Belgie. Het is geen objectieve weerspiegeling van een land maar een subjectief fotodocument in zwart-wit. Een ontdekkingstocht door een klein landje in het centrum van Europa tijdens de eeuwwisseling. Meer dan vijftien jaar heeft Stephan Vanfleteren door het territorium ?Belgicum? geslenterd, verdwaald en gejaagd door ontroering en liefde voor zijn moederland. Het werd een tocht door een land met littekens, op zoek naar een onvindbare identiteit maar met de melancholische ziel van een oude natie.‎

‎Steve Bloom's goal has been to search for the spirit of the world?s wildlife: the tiger?s eyes gleaming brightly in the jungles of India; polar bear cubs seeing the world for the first time; the few mountain gorillas left in Africa. The result is a perpetual dance for the eye which reveals not only the animals but much that is new to us about ourselves. Accompanied by his own commentaries, as passionate as they are informed, and thought-provoking quotes from legendary figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Gerald Durrell and Emily Dickinson, Spirit of the Wild brings to the fore the common experiences of all living beings. These unforgettable images will astonish and inform anyone who sees them as the full force of man?s environmental destruction of the planet and its creatures is revealed.‎

‎Summary L'auteur de ce livre propose la comparaison critique de toutes les utilisations attest es du motif gnostique du blasph me de l'Archonte et l' tude de la transformation de la citation du texte d'Isa e dans les textes gnostiques en examinant les particularit s de chaque attestation. Cette approche permet, entre autres, de bien distinguer les diff rentes versions du blasph me de l'Archonte et de retracer, autant que possible, les diff rentes tapes de sa diffusion dans la litt rature gnostique. Toutes ces variantes sont pr cieuses, car elles permettent de pr ciser les destinataires vis s par les diff rentes oeuvres et les contextes socioreligieux sp cifiques chacune de celles-ci. L'Archonte appara t tant t comme un mod le de conversion imiter, tant t comme un anti-mod le rejeter, comme le type de l'impi t religieuse. Ces pr sentations impliquent des destinataires et des situations communautaires diff rents, si bien que les origines du motif du blasph me de l'Archonte sont diverses, mais doivent tre situ es l'int rieur du cadre de la construction du discours interreligieux. Le blasph me de l'Archonte appara t alors comme un des volets de la crise identitaire du christianisme au II me si cle, qui s'est cristallis e, entre autres, autour de la question de la v ritable connaissance de Dieu.

‎Ren e Lorie Noctuary‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 32, 2019 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 96 pages, Illustrated.ENG-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262333.‎

‎Noctuary ? the first publication of Ren e Lorie (b. 1989), a Brussels based photographer ? is a photografic journey into undefined landscapes and interiors. The black and white photographs are full of magical moments, uncertain feelings and surreal light. "A lot of images you see here were made during the end of a period of loss. Close beloved ones that passed away. When you go through this intense process of letting go, looking back, trying to hold on, forever is a strong compulsion. You want to latch onto these past certainties, in order to avoid the confrontation of constant change and dissociation, processes unique to life. Photography serves as a consolation to impossibly embrace what was."‎

‎BOOK TOWER IMAGES. Visualizing Henry van de Velde's Ghent University Library Tower‎

‎, A-S books, 2023 softcover , 270 x 200 mm, 168 pages , 210 colour illustrations, EN edition. ISBN 9789076714691.‎

‎The Ghent University library with its famous "Book Tower" was designed by Henry van de Velde in the 1930s. It re-opened recently after a long restoration process under the supervision of Robbrecht en Daem architecten. Book Tower Images focuses on the rich artistic imagery of the monument. Over the years, leading artists and photographers such as Frans Masereel, Lucien Herv , Candida H fer, and Carl De Keyzer have visualized it abundantly. Jan De Cock, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and others realized installations or dance performances in the building that were documented with the help of photographs and films. Juxtaposing multiple images of the same building, Book Tower Images deals with various models of architectural representation: from typical modernist architectural photographs by Emile Sergysels from the 1940s to recent explorations by Dirk Braeckman, Geert Goiris, Aglaia Konrad, and Walter Vorjohann among many others. Book Tower Images combines architectural photography with a myriad of other artistic and photographic practices such as documentary photography, street photography, fashion shoots, photojournalism, amateur photography, painting, drawing, video, film et cetera - with, of course, the Book Tower as leitmotiv. De Gentse Universiteitsbibliotheek met de beroemde Boekentoren, die door Henry Van de Velde in de jaren 1930 werd ontworpen, werd onlangs heropend na een lange restauratiecampagne. Hoewel de tentoonstelling Beelden van de Boekentoren inspeelt of dit heuglijke feit, schenkt zij niet zozeer aandacht aan het gebouw zelf maar eerder aan de rijke beeldvorming ervan. De bibliotheektoren werd in de loop der jaren immers uitvoerig gevisualiseerd door toonaangevende fotografen zoals Lucien Herv en Candida H fer terwijl kunstenaars als Jan De Cock en Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker er installaties of dansvoorstellingen realiseerden die met behulp van foto's en films werden geregistreerd. Door meerdere beelden van hetzelfde gebouw te confronteren maakt deze expositie een veelvoud aan architecturale representatietechnieken duidelijk: van de typische modernistische architectuurfoto's die Emile Sergysels in de jaren 1930 maakte tot de recente exploraties door Aglaia Konrad. Daarnaast koppelt de expositie architectuurfotografie aan een ruime waaier van andere artistieke en fotografische praktijken zoals documentaire fotografie, street photography, modefotografie, fotojournalistiek, amateurfoto's, schilderkunst, video, et cetera - met, uiteraard, de Boekentoren als rode draad. Met werk van Kristien Daem, Jan De Cock, Walter De Mulder, Carl De Keyzer, Geert Goiris, Lucien Herv , Candida H fer, Jan Kempenaers, Aglaia Konrad, Fran ois Schuiten, Emile Sergysels en vele anderen. Dit project werd gerealiseerd in samenwerking met de Centrale Bibliotheek van de Universiteit Gent en de Archives et Mus es de la litt rature te Brussel en met de genereuze steun van Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne‎
