Celebrations at Court: Ephemeral Objects, Materials, and Machinery in the Early Modern Period - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
A rich and immersive insight into the spectacular courtly festival culture of 16th and 17th century Europe
Court celebrations constituted elaborate and flamboyant spectacles intended to showcase cultural sophistication, military power and technical expertise. Through carefully staged displays of marvel, feast and horror, they were performative articulations of power. By reiterating local traditions, such events reinforced and consolidated local belonging. Addressed both to rival rulers and to society at large, these celebrations functioned as strategic demonstrations of dynastic legitimacy and national abundance — economically, intellectually, and in terms of artisanal production.
Through thirteen richly illustrated chapters, this book maps key historical celebrations and the political circumstances surrounding them, while drawing on a diverse range of written sources—from pyrotechnics manuals to cookery books—to emphasize the material culture and technological foundations behind these celebrations. Celebrations at Court situates local European material culture within broader, transcultural contexts and offers new insights into the history of ideas and mentalities of the period.

Hardback. Etat : New. This book offers a transcription and translation into modern English of a unique and spectacularly illustrated sixteenth-century manuscript on war and festival culture during the reign of the Danish King Frederik II (r. 1559-1588). The manuscript, written in German by the King's specialist in artillery, Rudolf von Deventer, served as a manual for defense against the arch enemies of the Christian regime. The transcription and translation of the manuscript constitute an exceptional source for knowledge on and further research into North European war, artillery, technology, fireworks, and festival culture in the early modern period. The manuscript includes lavishly colored illustrations of machineries, firework dragons and battle scenes. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9788772196732
