Book Synopsis Henry the Liberal by : Theodore Evergates
Download or read book Henry the Liberal written by Theodore Evergates and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the twelfth century, the county of Champagne grew into one of the wealthiest and most important of French principalities, home to a large and established aristocracy, the site of international trade fairs, and a center for artistic, literary, and intellectual production. It had not always been this way, notes Theodore Evergates, who charts the ascent of Champagne under the rule of Count Henry the Liberal. Tutored in the liberal arts and mentored in the practice of lordship from an early age, Henry commanded the barons and knights of Champagne on the Second Crusade at twenty and succeeded as count of Champagne at twenty-five. Over the next three decades Henry immersed himself in the details of governance, most often in his newly built capital in Troyes, where he resolved disputes, confirmed nonlitigious transactions, and monitored the disposition of his fiefs. He was a powerful presence beyond the county as well, serving in King Louis VII's military ventures and on diplomatic missions to the papacy and the monarchs of England and Germany. Evergates presents a chronicle of the transformation of the lands east of Paris as well as a biography of one of the most engaging princes of twelfth-century France. Count Henry was celebrated for balancing the arts of governance with learning and for his generosity and inquisitive mind, but his enduring achievement, Evergates makes clear, was to transform the county of Champagne into a dynamic principality within the emerging French state.
Book Synopsis The Four Modes of Seeing by : ElizabethCarson Pastan
Download or read book The Four Modes of Seeing written by ElizabethCarson Pastan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borrowing its title from Madeline Harrison Caviness's influential work on the modes of seeing articulated by the twelfth-century cleric Richard of Saint Victor, this interdisciplinary collection brings together the work of thirty scholars from England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. Each author has contributed an original article that engages with ideas formulated in Caviness's wide-ranging scholarship. The historiographic introduction discusses themes in Caviness's publications and their importance for art historical and medieval studies today. The book's thematic matrix groups together essays concerned with: The Material Object, Documentary Reconstruction, Post-Disciplinary Approaches, Multiple Readings, Gender and Reception, Performativity, Text and Image, Collecting and Consumption, and Politics and Ideology. The contributors include curators, art historians, historians, and literary scholars. Their subjects range from medieval stained glass to the nineteenth-century Gothic Revival, the Sachsenspiegel, and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Many foreground issues of gender, reception, and textuality, which have permeated Caviness's scholarship. Some also present approaches to sites that have been the subject of important studies by Caviness, including Canterbury, Chartres, Reims, Saint-Denis, Sens, and Troyes. The volume offers a broad range of methodological approaches to key topics in the study of medieval imagery and thus highlights the vitality of the field today.

Book Synopsis The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300 by : Theodore Evergates
Download or read book The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300 written by Theodore Evergates and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore Evergates provides the first systematic analysis of the aristocracy in the county of Champagne under the independent counts. He argues that three factors—the rise of the comital state, fiefholding, and the conjugal family—were critical to shaping a loose assortment of baronial and knightly families into an aristocracy with shared customs, institutions, and identity. Evergates mines the rich, varied, and in some respects unique collection of source materials from Champagne to provide a dynamic picture of a medieval aristocracy and its evolving symbiotic relationship with the counts. Count Henry the Liberal (1152-81) began the process of transforming a quasi-independent baronage accustomed to collegial governance into an elite of landholding families subordinate to the count and his officials. By the time Countess Jeanne married the future King Philip IV of France in 1284, the fiefholding families of Champagne had become a distinct provincial nobility. Throughout, it was the conjugal community, rather than primogeniture or patrilineage, that remained the core familial institution determining the customs regarding community property, dowry, dower, and partible inheritance. Those customs guaranteed that every lineage would survive, but frequently through a younger son or daughter. The life courses of women and men, influenced not only by social norms but also by individual choice and circumstance, were equally unpredictable. Evergates concludes that imposed models of "the aristocratic family" fail to capture the diversity of individual lives and lineages within one of the more vibrant principalities of medieval France.

Book Synopsis The Symbolic Language of Royal Authority in the Carolingian World (c.751-877) by : Ildar H. Garipzanov
Download or read book The Symbolic Language of Royal Authority in the Carolingian World (c.751-877) written by Ildar H. Garipzanov and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a conventional political narrative of Carolingian history shaped by narrative sources, capitularies, and charter material. It is structured, instead, by numismatic, diplomatic, liturgical, and iconographic sources and deals with political signs, images, and fixed formulas in them as interconnected elements in a symbolic language that was used in the indirect negotiation and maintenance of Carolingian authority. Building on the comprehensive analysis of royal liturgy, intitulature, iconography, and graphic signs and responding to recent interpretations of early medieval politics, this book offers a fresh view of Carolingian political culture and of corresponding roles that royal/imperial courts, larger monasteries, and human agents played there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Galen presents a comprehensive account of the afterlife of the corpus of the second-century AD Greek physician Galen of Pergamum. In 31 chapters, written by a range of experts in the field, it shows how Galen was adopted, adapted, admired, contested, and criticised across diverse intellectual environments and geographical regions, from Late Antiquity to the present day, and from Europe to North Africa, the Middle and the Far East. The volume offers both introductory material and new analysis on the transmission and dissemination of Galen’s works and ideas through translations into Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Hebrew and other languages, the impact of Galenic thought on medical practice, as well as his influence in non-medical contexts, including philosophy and alchemy.

Book Synopsis Illuminating the Renaissance by : Thomas Kren
Download or read book Illuminating the Renaissance written by Thomas Kren and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and richly illustrated catalogue focuses on the finest illustrated manuscripts produced in Europe during the great epoch in Flemish illumination. During this aesthetically fertile period – beginning in 1467 with the reign of the Burgundian duke Charles the Bold and ending in 1561 with the death of the artist Simon Bening – the art of book painting was raised to a new level of sophistication. Sharing inspiration with the celebrated panel painters of the time, illuminators achieved astonishing innovations in the handling of color, light, texture, and space, creating a naturalistic style that would dominate tastes throughout Europe for nearly a century. Centering on the notable artists of the period – Simon Marmion, the Vienna Master of Mary of Burgundy, Gerard David, Gerard Horenbout, Bening, and others – the catalogue examines both devotional and secular manuscript illumination within a broad context: the place of illuminators within the visual arts, including artistic exchange between book painters and panel painters; the role of court patronage and the emergence of personal libraries; and the international appeal of the new Flemish illumination style. Contributors to the catalogue include Maryan W. Ainsworth, curator of European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; independent scholar Catherine Reynolds; and Elizabeth Morrison, assistant curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum. Illuminating the Renaissance is published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Getty Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the British Library to be held at the Getty Museum from June 17 to September 7, 2003, and at the Royal Academy of Arts from November 25, 2003 to February 22, 2004.
Book Synopsis Le temps long de Clairvaux by : Arnaud Baudin
Download or read book Le temps long de Clairvaux written by Arnaud Baudin and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2017 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Fondée par saint Bernard en 1115, l’abbaye de Clairvaux connut un rayonnement extraordinaire dans l’Occident médiéval et donna naissance à la branche la plus féconde de l’ordre de Cîteaux, avec plus de 360 maisons d’hommes. Entièrement rebâti au XVIIIe siècle, le monastère fut supprimé en 1790, ses bâtiments vendus comme biens nationaux puis transformés en maison centrale de détention en 1811. Malgré la richesse de ce passé, l’abbaye demeura pourtant dans l’ombre de son fondateur jusqu’à la création de l’association Renaissance de l’abbaye de Clairvaux en 1979, puis l’organisation du premier colloque sur l’histoire de Clairvaux en 1990. Vingt-cinq ans après, le neuvième centenaire de l’abbaye constitue une nouvelle étape dans la production historiographique claravallienne comme en témoigne la publication des Actes de ce deuxième colloque organisé à Troyes et à Clairvaux du 16 au 18 juin 2015. À travers une vingtaine d’essais répartis en quatre axes principaux, les auteurs dressent un bilan des dernières recherches de ce Temps long de Clairvaux et jettent les bases des études à venir : des îles Britanniques au Portugal, en passant par la Catalogne et la Sicile, ils nous conduisent le long de ce rameau si fertile ; de la porterie de l’abbaye-mère aux confins de la Transylvanie, ils racontent l’intégration des moines blancs dans le monde des campagnes et des villes ; de la bibliothèque du monastère aux créations de Le Corbusier, ils interrogent la culture de Clairvaux et l’existence, réelle ou imaginaire, d’un « art cistercien » ; enfin, du XVe au XVIIe siècle, ils nous présentent les figures de deux abbés entraînés dans la tourmente du Grand Schisme et des écueils de la commende."
