‎The Series Hispanica has been launched with the publication of the first volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Hispaniae Medievalium containing inscriptions from the province of Zamora. The paleographic, epigraphic and historiographic importance of these written monuments - the inscriptions- is obvious. In paleographic terms, the Zamora Corpus provides for the first time an uninterupted view of the development of capital script up to the 15th century, based on a series of photographs arranged according to types of script, an aspect of the history of writing which was neglected until now.

‎Stained Glass Windows‎

‎, Brepols 1996, 1996 90 pages., + 8 ill., 160 x 240 mm, English, Paperback, . ISBN 9782503360768.‎

‎This study aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the scholarship on medieval stained glass windows. This study provides an up-to-date overview of the scholarship on a single source material, stained glass. Included are an extensive bibliography, and brief chapters on the nature and development of this medium, the technique of making a window in the middle ages, post-medieval reception and documentation, and the historical significance of windows. Most examples are chosen from English or French sites, though the reference material is comprehensive; for instance, the bibliography includes all the catalogues published by thirteen countries in the Corpus Vitrearum series. The author guides the reader to recent literature on medieval attitudes to glass as a window material, the encoding of exegetical and theological systems, the structuring of narrative, and the function of windows as luminous altar-pieces or as memorials. Researchers are invited to cull from windows information concerning technology, latinity, piety, heraldry and genealogy, dress, and attitudes to class and gender. In order to understand the present condition of windows, brief accounts are given of iconoclasm, early restoration practices, and patterns of collecting. There are nine black and white illustrations that serve to clarify technical details; one of them, illustrating the paint layers in a group of twelfth century heads, was drawn especially for this book. The author, Madeline H. Caviness, is Mary Richardson Professor and Professor of Art History at Tufts University, and served as President of the International Board of the Corpus Vitrearum from 1987 to 1995. Her last book, The Sumptuous Arts at the Royal Abbeys in Reims and Braine (1990), was awarded the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy of America for 1993. Review "There is no one more qualified to present an overview of current scholarship in the field of stained glass studies than Madeline H. Caviness. (...) the present volume is a welcome addition to anyone's library of reference tools and pedagogical resources." (H. M. Sonne, in: The Medieval Review, 99.01.07)‎

‎Summary This second volume in the series Studies in English Medieval Embroidery is dedicated to the Opus Anglicanum Cope of St Domenico, Bologna now housed in the Museo Civico Medievale. Essays are by the Director, curators and conservation staff of the Museo Civico in collaboration with new archival research by leading scholars in the field of textiles and the production of medieval liturgical vestments. It is edited by Dr. M.A. Michael, head of the Opus Anglicanum Project at the University of Glasgow. This volume presents the first detailed investigation of the iconographical cycle depicted on the cope and provides new evidence for dating which places the Bologna Cope within the short-lived patronage of Pope Benedict XI before 1304. A comprehensive investigation of the archival materials relating to the Cope and its rediscovery in the 19th century is also accompanied by a detailed historiography of the literature and exhibition history of the cope and an account of the challenges faced during its recent conservation.

‎Michael Borremans Fire from the Sun,‎

‎, David Zwirner Books , 2018 Gebonden, Hardcover met stofomslag compleet. HB, 254 x 178 mm, 80 pages, throughout colour illustrations. English edition. ISBN 9781941701836.‎

‎Known for his ability to recall classical painting, both through technical mastery and subject matter, Borremans's depiction of the uncanny, the perhaps secret, the bizarre, often surprises, sometimes disturbs the viewer. In this series of work, children are presented alone or in groups against a studio-like backdrop that negates time and space, while underlining the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout Borremans's recent work. Reminiscent of cherubs in Renaissance paintings, the toddlers appear as allegories of the human condition, their archetypal innocence contrasted with their suggested deviousness. In his accompanying essay, critic and curator Michael Bracewell .takes an in-depth look into specific paintings, tackling both the highly charged subject matter and the masterly command of the medium. He writes, "The art of Michael Borremans seems always to have been predicated on a confluence of enigma, ambiguity, and painterly poetics-accosting beauty with strangeness; making historic Romanticism subjugate to mysterious controlling forces that are neither crudely malevolent nor necessarily benign." Published on the occasion of Borremans's eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner in Hong Kong,‎

‎Published in conjunction with a combined exhibition of work by Micha l Borremans and Mark Manders at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, this volume documents what turned out to be an remarkable encounter between these two European artists. The delicate experiment of a double show like this one forces interference and tension between two distinct bodies of work, with the work of one artist providing the framework for the other, and vice versa. Nevertheless, it is an exemplary show in which a kind of choreography between Borremans, a painter, and Manders, a sculptor and installation architect, emerges through a sombre colours and formal contrasts.‎

‎With a Grace Not to Be Captured: Representing the Georgian Theatrical Dancer, 1760-1830‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, x + 198 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 77 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503583563.‎

‎Summary If dance on the London stage can be said to have had a 'golden age', it might be thought to be the years between 1760 and 1830. The changes included the arrival on the London stage of ballet d'action, and the appearance of Vestris and Noverre. Dance in the theatre and the opera house continued to be essential to the financial success of any season, and it was a ubiquitous element in the London theatrical season both in dramatic works and as entr'acte pieces. These years also saw important changes that affected theatrical dance and thus public perceptions of celebrity dancers. Despite this, and in comparison with other performers, far fewer portraits of dancers were produced. This can be explained in part by a visual culture that privileged a particularly national view of celebrity. As one of the contributors argues in this volume, 'The rhetoric of a "British school of art" contributed to marginalizing foreign singers and dancers on the London stage, as well as other immigrant artisans who had a major role to play in the economics of eighteenth-century London leisure life.' Through the examination of a series of major dancers, this volume examines the way in which the images created represented a dancer's image, which was then often exploited through the medium of print. The images discussed in the volume include formal and informal portraits, portraits in character, prints, and caricatures. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface I.

‎Summary The Cistercian abbeys of northern England provide some of the finest monastic remains in all of Europe, and much has been written on their twelfth- and thirteenth-century architecture. The present study is the first in-depth analysis of the art and architecture of these northern houses and nunneries in the late Middle Ages, and questions many long-held opinions about the Order's perceived decline during the period c.1300-1540. Extensive building works were conducted between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries at well-known abbeys such as Byland, Fountains, Kirkstall, and Rievaulx, and also at lesser-known houses including Calder and Holm Cultram, and at many convents of Cistercian nuns. This study examines the motives of Cistercian patrons and the extent to which the Order continued to enjoy the benefaction of lay society. Featuring over a hundred illustrations and eight colour plates, this book demonstrates that the Cistercians remained at the forefront of late medieval artistic developments, and also shows how the Order expressed its identity in its visual and material cultures until the end of the Middle Ages.

‎Musical Exoticism. The Mediterranean and Beyond in the Long Nineteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xii + 392 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:39 b/w, 16 tables b/w., 34 musical examples, Language: English. *new ISBN 9782503611778.‎

‎Summary The sound image of Otherness has been a significant source of inspiration for Western music, especially since the late eighteenth century. Encounters with the racial and geographical Other fomented interest in unfamiliar musical traditions, which informed exotic projections by Western composers. This volume explores aspects of musical exoticism and its staging during the long nineteenth century, with a special focus on the Mediterranean. This diverse and yet historically interconnected region was arguably the heart of the exotic enterprise during this period. The intersection of exoticism, nationalism and empire is considered, with a special focus on the situation of Spain as both source of local colour and purveyor of musical exoticism. The essays in this volume explore elements of exoticism across a range of musical styles: from song to opera and the popular musical stage, and from instrumental to symphonic works. The analysis of this corpus also involves the examination of musical culture in dialogue with literature and figurative arts. While many of the essays focus on constructions of exoticism in individual works, several essays focus on repertories of musical exoticism and their coverage in musicological literature.

‎Marie de Bourgogne/Mary of Burgundy. 'Persona', Reign, and Legacy of a Late Medieval Duchess / Figure, Principat et Post rit d'une Duchesse Tardo-M di vale‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 475 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:61 b/w, 44 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):French, English. ISBN 9782503588087.‎

‎Summary Mary of Burgundy (r. 1477-1482) occupies an important place in the history of late medieval and early modern Europe, yet her life and principate have received relatively little scholarly attention. They are, however, key to the history both of the Low Countries and of Europe, since her marriage to Maximilian of Austria united the Habsburgs with the Valois-Burgundy dynasty, giving them vast territories on the borders of France. In this book, some of the best specialists in the field contribute to a better understanding of Mary's principate, its features, and its long-term perception. In the first part, the authors address the issue of Mary's contested legitimacy as a late medieval female ruler: law, literature, visual arts and theatrical representations are examined as means of communication, strengthening or weakening her authority. In the second part, the authors examine some of Mary's governmental tools and the agents behind them. Finally, the last part questions the ways in which Mary's power and her principate have been represented and reinterpreted in subsequent eras, often with political or social intent, beginning with Maximilian's long regency and reign immediately after her death, right up to modern-day Belgium. Marie, duchesse de Bourgogne (r. 1477-1482), occupe une place essentielle entre Moyen ge et premi re Modernit dans l'histoire des Anciens Pays-Bas et d'Europe. Alors que son mariage avec Maximilien d'Autriche unit la dynastie des Valois-Bourgogne celle des Habsbourg, laquelle s' tablit alors durablement aux fronti res de la France, la vie et le bref principat de Marie restent peu tudi s. Visant comprendre cette p riode de transition et ses ressorts, tant l' poque que dans le temps long, ainsi qu' tablir un bilan et lancer de nouvelles pistes de recherche, cet ouvrage r unit plusieurs des meilleurs sp cialistes actuels autour de trois questions essentielles. Dans un premier temps, la l gitimit contest e de ce pouvoir f minin est abord e sous diff rents angles : le droit, la litt rature, les arts visuels et les spectacles publics qui sont tudi s en tant que moyens de communications renfor ant ou affaiblissant l'autorit de la duchesse. Ensuite sont mis en lumi re les agents et les outils gouvernementaux au service de ce pouvoir. Enfin, les contributeurs s'interrogent sur la mani re dont ce pouvoir et ce principat furent (re)lus et repr sent s aux poques ult rieures en fonction d'agendas politiques volutifs, du long r gne de Maximilien de Habsbourg la Belgique contemporaine.

‎Summary This book explores the legend of Adam's Contract with Satan that was made after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.This legend was current in the Eastern Orthodox churches of SE Europe as well as in the Caucasus. Unknown forms of the legend have been found in two traditions, the Romanian and the Armenian, and are investigated here. Notably this legend has found its way into folk stories and sometimes into folk music, showing how widely it was accepted and distributed. This legend also inspired images in both traditions. In Romania the most striking illustrations are to be found in Bukovina province, in frescos on the famous painted churches of that region, as well as in manuscripts. In Armenia features of this story are incorporated into the iconography of the Baptism of Christ in the River Jordan.

‎Selling Pianos with Pictures. Commercial Art and Keyboard Instruments from the Eighteenth Century to the 1920s‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, xv + 186 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:110 b/w, 50 col., Language: English.*new ISBN 9782503583570.‎

‎Summary Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century advertisements for pianos, pianists, merchants, music publishers and, above all, for domestic purchases are full of images employed for commercial rather than cultural purposes. This volume examines the commercial characters and significances of how pianos were pictured between the early days of 'modern' marketing to today. During the early 1920s, piano sales peaked in the United States; nevertheless, pianos have continued to be sold even as radios, record players, television sets and electric keyboards increasingly replace them as must-have sources of entertainment and improvement. The market for player pianos, although comparatively short-lived, also provided manufacturers and retailers with opportunities to depict pianos and pictures.

‎masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen in the centre of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Room 606 is the last surviving interior of the SAS House: an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960. Jacobsen was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, throughout his career, creating complete settings for daily life and dissolving the boundaries between architecture, interior and industrial design. The chapters are organized thematically: each consists of three sections that together look at Room 606 as a microcosm of the SAS House, reconstruct the original building, and trace the connections between Jacobsen's masterpiece and his other works - from whole buildings to household objects.‎

‎Late Medieval Cistercian Monastery of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. Monastic Administration, Economy, and Archival Memory‎

‎Summary Founded in 1132, Fountains Abbey became the wealthiest English Cistercian monastery - yet relatively little analysis has been made of its surviving records to investigate how its wealth was controlled and sustained. This book deals with this secular aspect of the religious community at Fountains, investigating in particular the way in which prosaic business records were compiled and redacted. It traces the transmission of data from original charters through successive versions of cartularies, and in the process establishes the existence of a previously unknown manuscript. It also reveals how abbots in the fifteenth century interacted with and adapted the records in their care. In this process, two quite different aspects of monastic life are uncovered. First, it sheds new light on the history of Fountains Abbey through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, amongst other things how it responded to the turmoil of the Black Death, and discloses for the first time the allegiance of one abbot to the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses. Second, it reveals the worldly skills shown by the community of Fountains that were successfully applied to exploit the monastery's large landholdings across Yorkshire, mainly through wool and agricultural production, but also through fisheries, tanning, mining, and metalworking. The economic success of these activities enabled the abbey to become a prosperous institution which rivalled the wealth of the aristocracy. This book addresses recordkeeping and archival memory at one, Cistercian, monastery - albeit a well-endowed and prosperous one - in the north of England. However, its treatment of archival sources could be extended to other houses in different geographical locations and different orders, to enable comparisons between monasteries dealing with economic change and social and political upheaval in the later Middle Ages.

‎The central theme of Rubens?s paintings is the human figure, often represented nude or partially clothed and involved in dramatic action. As a history painter, Rubens?s acclaimed skill in rendering the human body whether male or female, lean or fleshy, mature in years or young, animated or lifeless, vigorous or diseased, heroic or cowering, sensuous or decrepit, idealised or blemished and imperfect enabled him to vie with the greatest artists ever known, while creating increasing demand for his work among Europe?s intellectual, cultural, religious and political lite. His mastery in depicting human figures and their dynamic movements suggests that he followed the example of Leonardo da Vinci (1452?1519), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475?1564) and other Italian artists he admired, who made extensive studies of human anatomy. As pointed out by two recent perceptive scholars, however, the robust, muscular male nudes in action who appear in so many of Rubens?s narrative paintings are often anatomically inaccurate. Moreover, and as will become clear in this volume, Rubens?s approach to anatomical study was not closely similar to that of any of his forbears. In many respects his ways of working are comparable to those of Michelangelo, who used the knowledge he acquired through dissection not to pursue verisimilitude but to invent the anatomy of his figures according to his own idea of physical beauty, strength and expression. Yet unlike Italian Renaissance artists such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Alessandro Allori (1535?1607), Rubens did not perform or witness dissections and seems to have rarely studied from the live nude model. What, then, was the nature and extent of Rubens?s study of human anatomy? The present volume will offer an answer to that question, while also establishing when and where most of his anatomical works were made and reassessing the issue of their intended purpose.‎

‎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.‎
