  • ISBN : 0452299039
  • Pages : 497 pages

Download or read book The Sign written by Thomas de Wesselow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a first-century Jew called Jesus manage to spark a new religion? Christianity was born nearly two thousand years ago and has won untold millions of followers. Yet, historians still cannot say how it really began. The Sign finally provides the answer. Traditionally, the birth of Christianity has been explained via the miracle of the Resurrection, but historians have been unable to account for Christianity’s remarkable success without the Resurrection to spark it. If no one really saw the Risen Jesus, how were people convinced that he was their immortal Messiah? Art historian Thomas de Wesselow has spent the last seven years deducing the answer to this puzzle. Reassessing a much-misunderstood historical source and reinterpreting critical biblical passages, de Wesselow shows that the solution has been staring us in the face for more than a century. The Shroud of Turin, widely thought to be a fake, is, in fact, authentic. And it holds the key to the greatest mystery in human history.

Book The Shroud

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ian Wilson
  • Publisher : Random House
  • Release : 2010-03-24
  • ISBN : 1409094707
  • Pages : 514 pages

Download or read book The Shroud written by Ian Wilson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades after radiocarbon dating declared the Turin Shroud a mediaeval fake, brand-new historical discoveries strongly suggest that this famous cloth, with its extraordinary photographic imprint, is genuinely Christ's shroud after all. In 1978 in his international bestseller The Turin Shroud Ian Wilson ignited worldwide public debate with his compelling case endorsing the shroud's authenticity. Now, 30 years later, he has completely rewritten and updated his earlier book to provide fresh evidence to support his original argument. Shroud boldly challenges the current post-radiocarbon dating view - that it is a fake. By arguing his case brilliantly and provocatively, Ian Wilson once more throws the matter into the public arena for further debate and controversy.

Book The Art of the Renaissance in Eastern Europe

Download or read book The Art of the Renaissance in Eastern Europe written by Jan Białostocki and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Little has been written about the influence of Italian Renaissance art in eastern Europe, even though the Florentine artists who were invited to Buda or Cracow brought with them a more refined and more original form of their art than the Lombards took to France and Germany. This handsome volume, which contains more than 350 illustrations, describes how Hungary, Bohemia, and Poland succumbed to the irrepressible new style. Concerned primarily with architecture, sculpture, and architectural decoration, Professor Białostocki concentrates on the direct impact of Tuscan and North Italian artists known to have worked in various eastern European cities and courts. Taking a functionalist approach, he considers the historical background of patronage and humanism, and he discusses the most typical artistic projects of the time: the castle, the chapel, the tomb, and the town. His concluding chapter deals with the period when late Renaissance, mannerism, and early baroque coexisted to form a hybrid style. A comprehensive bibliography offers previously uncollected material in several eastern European languages. An outstanding contribution to Renaissance studies, this book should not only encourage the exploration of new areas of comparative study but also make enlightening reading for nonexperts interested in the art of the Renaissance." --

Book The Illuminated Chronicle

    Book Details:
  • Author : János M. Bak
  • Publisher : Central European University Press
  • Release : 2018-07-01
  • ISBN : 9633862655
  • Pages : 480 pages

Download or read book The Illuminated Chronicle written by János M. Bak and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Illuminated Chronicle was composed in 1358 in the international artistic style at the royal court of Louis I of Hungary. Its text, presented here in a new edition and translation, is the most complete record of Hungary's medieval historical tradition, going back to the eleventh century and including the mythical past of its people. The pictures in this manuscript—formerly known as the Vienna Chronicle—are not merely occasional illustrations added to some exemplars, but text and image are closely connected and mutually related to each other, to qualify it as a proper “illuminated chronicle”. The artistic value of the miniatures is quite high, and the characters are drawn with detail and with a knowledge of anatomy. Forty-two of the miniatures are included in the present volume. A full color facsimile will be accessible online. The 147 pictures are an invaluable source of information on late medieval cultural history, costume, and court life. In a historiographical context, The Illuminated Chronicle is an attempt at the popularization of the national history and a systematic appeal to circles beyond the old monastic-clerical audience. The Illuminated Chronicle (Chronica de gestis Hungarorum e codice picto saec. xiv.) is the ninth volume in the Central European Medieval Texts, a Latin–English bilingual series.
