Ce livre offre pour la premiere fois aux assemblees de langue francaise l'ensemble des elements chantes grace auxquels la celebration liturgique peut trouver la "plenitude" (forma nobilior) que souhaitait le Concile "Vatican II" dans sa restauration de la liturgie (Constitution conciliaire sur la liturgie no 113). Pour "celebrer en chantant" au sens du Concile, il ne suffit pas d'introduire dans les rites un certain nombre de "morceaux de chant" ou de musique. C'est la celebration liturgique elle-meme qui, dans ses actions et ses paroles, dans ses rites et ses textes, doit trouver sa forme lyrique et chantante. Language : French. 0 g.…

Paperback, 238 p., 13 x 21 cm. ISBN 9782503509501. L'histoire du roi et des sept sages occupe dans le panorama de la litterature medievale une place similaire a celle que l'on peut attribuer aujourd'hui au celebre recueil des Mille et une nuits. Elle tire son origine d'un recueil de contes largement repandu dans les litteratures arabe, grecque, syriaque et perse, le Livre de Sindibad. Selon la mode orientale, elle propose, sous le titre generique de Roman des Sept Sages de Rome, une intrigue romanesque dont le principal interet reside dans la presence de recits enchasses (procede utilise plus tard par Boccace dans son Decameron et par Chaucer dans ses Canterbury Tales). Le recit transmis par Jean, moine de l'abbaye cistercienne de Haute-Seille vers 1200, se deroule sous l'empire, a Rome, a Constantinople ou en Sicile, dans un decor domine par les merveilles du monde antique. C'est dans ce cadre que se deroulent les aventures du roi Dolopathos, de la reine et du prince heritier, meles dans une intrigue ou le courage et la vertu finissent, apres bien des peripeties, a triompher de la ruse et la seduction. Les auteurs sont Maitres de conference a l'Universite de Geneve, specialistes de la litterature d'exempla et des contes populaires medievaux. Languages : French. 0 g.…

XIV, 249 pp. Publisher's boards. (Medieval Texts and Cultures of Northern Europe, 3).

Hardcover. 120 p., 140 x 215 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9780888444769. This book presents five texts that recount the history of Britain from the time of its legendary founding by Brutus in 1200 BC to the fall of Richard II in 1399 AD. All the texts are anonymous: the earliest was composed some time during the reign of Edward I (before 1307), the last early in the fifteenth century. The first text is the Harley Epitome, a prose account from Brutus to Henry III (1272); the second is the Metrical History, a versification of the Harley Epitome in end-rhymed hexameters; the third is a marginal prose commentary on the Metrical History; the fourth and fifth texts are a continuation of the Metrical History in elegiac couplets, from Edward I to Richard II (1272-1399), and a prose commentary on the continuation. Only a portion of the Metrical History has been printed before. While based on the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth and other English historians, these texts exhibit an interest in Scottish and northern English affairs that makes it certain they were composed in northern England, in the political context of the English-Scottish hostilities of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. The Latin of the prose is fairly simple, and that of the poetry is unadorned; strong arguments are put forth in the introduction to the volume that the texts could have formed part of a programme for elementary history teaching in fourteenth-century York. The introduction discusses the authorship, place of composition, and purpose of the works, as well as the manuscript tradition, the versification and the language of the texts. A select bibliography, explanatory and textual notes, and an index of sources complete the volume. 0 g. …

Une image claire et tres complete sur la chronologie du debut de la chretiente.Le systeme chronologique le plus utilise dans le monde est celui base sur l'annee de 'Notre Seigneur' (Anno Domini), l'ere chretienne.

Cet ouvrage s'efforce de decrire non seulement les origines et les premieres applications du systeme de Denys le Petit, de sa creation jusqu'a son adoption dans l'Europe d'Occident au XIe siecle, mais egalement les systemes chronologiques de l'antiquite tardive ainsi que le contexte dans lequel cette nouvelle idee fut creee. Il en resulte une fresque chronologique et geographique qui englobe les evenements survenus pendant mille ans dans le monde chretien latin et l'Orient byzantin. Georges Declercq emmene le lecteur a l'epoque de l'emergence des eres de la creation alexandrine et byzantine; il examine avec lui la controverse de Paques, les travaux de comput de Victorius d'Aquitaine et ceux de Denys le Petit, ainsi que le role des Anglo-Saxons dans l'introduction de l'ere chretienne pour dater les evenements de l'epoque. Il s'attarde avec lui sur la maniere dont Denys le Petit etablit l'incarnation du Christ en l'an 1 de notre ere. De par son envergure, cet ouvrage s'adresse tant aux specialistes qu'au grand public.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Here, for the first time in English, is Pacht's well-known, fundamental text, Methodisches zur Kunsthistorischen Praxis. Pacht's approach to art history is shaped by his conviction that visual art, like music, can say things in its own medium that cannot be said in any other. He aims to sharpen our perceptions by recreating the social and cultural context in which an object was made, clarifying unfamiliar notions of space and time or significant gestures and symbols which are no longer recognizable. Each part of Pacht's analysis is illustrated by reference to a specific manuscript, painting, building or sculpture, and his examples range from medieval and Renaissance art through to the works of Rembrandt. He explores the theories of major thinkers from Riegl, Wolfflin and Croce to Panofsky and Gombrich. But the emphasis always returns to the activity of looking, and Pacht's greatest achievement is in showing the student and general reader alike how to practise art history in their own encounters with works of art.…

Paperback, 142 p., 130 x 190 mm. ISBN 9782503509839. Aux 8e et 9e siecles, plusieurs sectes refusant l'autorite des rabbins naquirent au sein du judaisme oriental. Seul le caraisme se maintint et sa lutte avec le rabbinisme fut loin d'etre sterile: sa reflexion donna a la theologie juive une nouvelle impulsion. Ces Juifs particuliers reconnaissent seulement l'ecrit, la Torah, et rejettent toute la tradition orale du Talmud et de l'enseignement rabbinique. En marge du judaisme traditionnel, les Caraites, par leur diversite communautaire, connurent des parcours parfois opposes qui les amenerent a se proclamer Juifs parmi les Juifs en Egypte, ou, au contraire, a se definir comme religion separee du judaisme en Europe orientale. Plus de 20.000 Caraites vivent actuellement en Israel. Reconnus de fait comme minorite religieuse, au meme titre que les Samaritains, ils sont confrontes a l'inevitable probleme de l'assimilation a la societe civile israelienne. Jean-Francois Fau, historien du judaisme, replace les Caraites dans leur double contexte, juif et sectaire, passe et present, et decrit l'histoire, la culture et la vie de cet autre judaisme.

Paperback, 207 pages., 140 x 216 mm.*NEW ISBN 9782503510507. This exhaustive, authoritative study describes not only the origins and the early development of the Dionysian system of dating, from its invention until its adoption throughout Western Europe, but also its antecedents in Late Antiquity and the general context in which the era was conceived. The most successful dating system the world has ever known is that based on the 'Year of the Lord' (Anno Domini) - the Christian era. It was created in AD 525 by a Scythian monk, Dionysius Exiguus, primarily as a means of numbering Easters. Today, this system for reckoning time is used globally and is by no means restricted to adherents of Christianity. The present essay aims to describe not only the origins and the early development of the Dionysian system, from its invention until its adoption throughout Western Europe in the course of the eleventh century, but also its antecedents in Late Antiquity and the general context in which this era was conceived. The result is a broad chronological and geographical survey, encompassing developments over a period of a thousand years in both Latin Christendom and the Byzantine East. Georges Declercq takes the reader through the emergence of the Alexandrian and Byzantine ears of creation, the vexed question of the Easter or Paschal controversy, the computistical works of Victorius of Aquitaine and Dionysius Exiguus, and the role of the Anglo-Saxons in the manner in which Dionysius came to fix the incarnation of Christ in AD 1. This comprehensive survey is directed to both specialists and non-specialists and will be indispensable for any reader interested in early Christian chronology. Georges Declercq is a lecturer at the University of Brussels, and teaches medieval history at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and medieval palaeography at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles. He has published on the medieval history of the county of Flanders, and works mainly in the field of charters and diplomatics. Languages: English. 0 g.…

Paperback, 328 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503511580. Too often technology is seen as inferior to science, as a simple practical application of a self-sufficient "pure" knowledge. Such a dichotomy is for sure an illusion. The contributions met in this volume, reflecting the richness and the density of the session Science, Technology and Industry during the XXth International Congress of History of Science in Liege in 1997, show all technology as nothing less than the bridge between science on one side, society and economy on the other side. And this bridge is not a one-way road but a place of interactions between the theoretical and the applied, between the knowledge and the know-how. A special section of this book demonstrates that this equal footing dialogue has been particularly intense as far as the military technical development is concerned, and that for many centuries.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Rubens was well placed to take advantage of the increasing demand for scenes of Christ's Passion in the Southern Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th Century. He had developed a reputation for his religious paintings in Italy, and his return to Antwerp coincided with the efforts of the Catholic Church to restore and replace altarpieces damaged by the Calvinists. The experience of Italy fostered Ruben's interest in both the historical and the human aspects of Christ's Passion. The influence of classical sculpture and of Titian, Michelangelo and Caravaggio is evident in the monumental quality of his compositions, but he also valued the emotional intensity of Northern masters like Rogier van der Weyden and Quentin Massys. He made many innovations in his concern for accuracy, especially in disputed subjects like the Elevation of the Cross. Ruben's success in transforming all these diverse influences is a tribute to his deeply held religious beliefs and his determination to give his viewers the sense of witnessing a moment in history. The images that Rubens created were appropriated throughout Europe.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Following the general introduction to the Beatus tradition covered by Volume I of this five-part publication, the present book catalogues and illustrates the seven earliest surviving Beatus Commentaries which range from the 9th to the 10th century, and for which the monastery of San Salvador de Tabara figures prominently as a place of production: The Silos Fragment, The Morgan Beatus, The Vitrina 14-1 Beatus, The Valladolid Beatus, The Tabara Beatus, The Girona Beatus, The Vitrina 14-2 Fragment. Each catalogue entry discusses the individual manuscript in depth, the location of production, the work of the outstanding - and often identifiable - illuminators and scribes, the manuscript's codicology, and the currents of influence which find expression in these manuscripts: the pictorial vocabularies of the Mozarabic, Islamic and Carolingian worlds. This publication is the Catalogue Raisonne of the earliest surviving manuscripts of the tradition of the commentary on the Apocalypse, with reproductions of every illustration in these manuscripts.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This new Catalogue Raisonne, Part III in the series on Natural History, is based on the collection originally formed by Prince Federico Cesi in the early 17th century and later acquired by Cassiano. These drawings constitute the first truly scientific study of fossilized woods and are executed with such finesse, skill and detail that they will be of immense interest both to art-historians and to historians of science. The drawings, the majority of which have remained unstudied and unpublished until now, include specimens of wood and animal fossils, ammonites and concretions, pyrits and baked clays, as well as a series of field drawings giving the sites where these specimens were found. The introductory essays discuss the background to Cesi's project as well as the importance of the drawings to the history of seventeenth- century culture and science.…

Hardback, 450 p., + ills., 23 x 28 mm. ISBN 9782503509242. C'est sur ordre de Philippe le Bon, que Jean Wauquelin, bourgeois de Mons et libraire en cette ville, entreprit la traduction en francais d'une vaste compilation redigee par le valenciennois Jacques de Guise (+ 1399), intitulee Annales historiae principum hannoniae. Cette chronique ecrite a l'origine dans le cercle des comtes de Hainaut de la maison de Baviere magnifiait en trois parties l'histoire du comte, de la chute de Troie a la mort de Jeanne de Constantinople en 1244. Le 12 avril 1433, Jacqueline de Baviere, comtesse de Hainaut, Hollande, Zelande et dame de Frise, renoncait a ces territoires au profit de Philippe le Bon. Celui-ci trouva dans les Chroniques le recit et l'eloge de ses pretentions sur le comte. Les paiements de la mise par ecrit de ces trois prestigieux volumes s'echelonnent de 1448 a 1453. Le duc en surveilla de pres l'avancement. Si des enlumineurs de renom, Guillaume Vrelant et Loyset Liedet, furent charges d'illustrer les volumes II et III, c'est cependant la miniature de presentation du volume I qui, des l'origine, a retenu l'attention. Cette majestueuse composition, attribuee a Rogier de la Pasture -Van der Weyden-, montre le duc, accompagne de son jeune fils -le futur Temeraire- et entoure de ses conseillers et de chevaliers de la Toison d'Or. Il recoit des mains du traducteur agenouille le premier volume des Chroniques. Cette miniature etonnamment vivante est consideree a bon droit comme un chef-d'oeuvre d'interet national. Pour assurer la conservation la meilleure de ce volume si souvent sollicite et afin de permettre une restauration et un examen scientifique dont on pourra juger les resultats, le volume I a ete derelie. A cette occasion, outre le premier folio, une trentaine de miniatures qu'il contient seront offertes au regard du public. Celui-ci pourra apprecier, comme jadis le fit le duc, leur qualite et leur fraicheur remarquables. Languages : French, English, Dutch. 0 g.…
