Book excerpt: Qu'elles soient précieuses comme le rubis, le diamant ou le saphir, semi-précieuses comme la turquoise, l'aigue-marine ou la cornaline, les pierres exercent sur nous un attrait irrésistible que ne suffit pas à expliquer la seule beauté de ces minéraux. Douées de pouvoirs reconnus et insolites, elles ont démontré leurs vertus thérapeutiques, leurs possibilités décoratives, leurs utilisations dans l'astrologie en traversant ainsi les époques jusqu'à nous.

Download or read book Music and Esotericism written by Laurence Wuidar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays analyzes the relationships that exist between esotericism and music from Antiquity to the 20th century, investigating ways in which magic, astrology, alchemy, divination, and cabbala interact with music. The volume seeks to dissolve artificial barriers between the history of art, music, science, and intellectual history by establishing an interdisciplinary dialogue about music as viewed against a specific cultural background. The synthesis of scientific and historical contexts with respect to music, explored here on a large scale for the first time, opens up a wealth of new approaches to music historical research, music performance, and musical composition. Each chapter presents either a unique example of music functioning within esoteric and scientific traditions or a demonstration of the influence of those traditions upon selected musical works. L’ouvrage analyse les relations entre l’ésotérisme et la musique de l’Antiquité au 20ème siècle étudiant comment la magie, l’astrologie, l’alchimie, la divination et la cabale ont interagit avec la musique. Il vise à dépasser les frontières entre l’histoire de l’art, l’histoire de la musique et l’histoire des sciences et des idées afin de nouer un dialogue interdisciplinaire sur la musique autour de contextes historiques et scientifiques précis. L’ouvrage offre une première synthèse sur les rapports entre ésotérisme et musique ainsi que diverses pistes de recherche à poursuivre.
Download or read book Fifteenth Century Studies Vol 28 written by Edelgard E. DuBruck and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of the volume, in addition to standard features such as the bibliographical update on 15th-c. theater, is on late-medieval authors as literary critics. Founded in 1977 as the publication organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposium, Fifteenth-Century Studies has appeared annually since then. It publishes essays on all aspects of life in the fifteenth century, including literature, drama, history, philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and ritual and custom. The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval century, a period that has long been the stepchild of research. The fifteenthcentury defies consensus on fundamental issues: some scholars dispute, in fact, whether it belonged to the middle ages at all, arguing that it was a period of transition, a passage to modern times. At issue, therefore, is the verytenor of an age that stood under the influence of Gutenberg, Columbus, the Devotio Moderna, and Humanism. Along with the standard updating of bibliography on 15th-c. theater, this volume is devoted to research on late-medieval authors as literary critics. Thus, for the historian as well as the writer of fiction, the tenuous limits between truth and fantasy (and the role of doubt) are investigated. If there are several eyewitness accounts of an event, which one can be trusted? Medieval memorialists sometimes became advisors to princes and used a rhetoric of careful persuasion. Values such as chivalry, courtly love, and kingly self-representation come up for discussion here.Several essays ponder the structure of poetic forms and popular genres, and others consider more factual topics such as incunabula on medications, religious literature in the vernacular for everyday use, a student's notebook on magic, and late medieval merchants, money, and trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Pentec™te, cette f�te charmante, Žtait arrivŽe; les champs et les bois se couvraient de verdure et de fleurs; sur les collines et sur les hauteurs, dans les buissons et dans les haies, les oiseaux, rendus ˆ la joie, essayaient leurs gaies chansons; chaque prŽ fourmillait de fleurs dans les vallŽes odorantes; le ciel brillait dans une sŽrŽnitŽ majestueuse et la terre Žtincelait de mille couleurs. Noble, le roi des animaux, convoque sa cour; et tous ses vassaux s'empressent de se rendre ˆ son appel en grand Žquipage; de tous les points de l'horizon arrivent maints fiers personnages, LutkŽ la grue et Markart le geai, et tous les plus importants. Car le roi songe ˆ tenir sa cour d'une mani�re magnifique avec tous ses barons; il les a convoquŽs tous ensemble, les grands comme les petits. Nul ne devait y manquer et cependant il en manquait un: Reineke le renard, le rusŽ coquin, qui se garda bien de se rendre ˆ l'appel, ˆ cause de tous ses crimes passŽs. Comme la mauvaise conscience fuit le grand jour, le renard fuyait l'assemblŽe des seigneurs. Tous avaient ˆ se plaindre; ils Žtaient tous offensŽs; et, seul, Grimbert le blaireau, le fils de son fr�re, avait ŽtŽ ŽpargnŽ.
