This book was released on 1997 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1991, des travaux au nord-est de Marseille furent l'occasion d'étudier le quartier de Sainte-Barbe. Ces fouilles ont mis au jour les vestiges d'un bourg extra muros spécialisé dans l'artisanat de la céramique au 13e siècle. Pour la première fois en France, la production, sur plus d'un siècle, d'ateliers urbains polyvalents a été analysée. La présence d'un four de tradition islamique, le répertoire des formes suggèrent des transferts de savoir-faire, des circulations de modèles, la mobilité des artisans. L'ouvrage est augmenté d'une étude des fours à barres dans le bassin méditerranéen et au Proche-Orient, qui met en lumière une technique de cuisson aujourd'hui disparue en Occident.
Download or read book Graphic History written by Philip Benedict and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2007 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suite of forty prints published in Geneva in 1570 depicting the wars, massacres and troubles of the French Wars of Religion may have been the first picture history made in woodcuts or etchings that promised a geenral public a true view of great events of the recent past. This richly illustrated study reconstructs the gradual elaboration of this experimental work, situating it within the previously untold story of the use of the graphic arts to report the news in the fist centuries of European printmaking. Successive chapters explore the pictorial traditions that inspired the printmakers, examine how they gathered their information, assess the reliability of the scenes, and analyze the historical vision informing the series. Part 2 reproduces the full suite with commentary in double page fold-outs. Through the study of a single print series, lost chapters in the history of jorunalism, of the graphic arts, and of Protestant historical consciousness re-emerge.
Download or read book The Judgment of Palaemon written by Philip Ford and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Virgil's third Eclogue, Palaemon concludes the poetry competition between Menalcas and Damoetas by saying that he cannot choose between them, a judgment that is emblematic of the contest between Neo-Latin and vernacular poetry in Renaissance France. Both forms of poetry draw on similar roots, both are equally accomplished, and the contest between them is largely amicable. The Judgment of Palaement illustrates the almost symbiotic relationship between Renaissance Latin and French poetry, while exploring poets' motivation for choosing one language over another, the different challenges each form of writing involved, and the extent of the collaboration between different language communities. It focuses on some of the major writers of the period, as well as less known ones, and on genres specific to humanist poetry. It shows that composing in Latin was often considered more natural than writing in the vernacular, at a time when many Frenchmen's mother tongue was a non-standard French dialect or distinct language.
