Download or read book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book excerpt: L'Altas des monnaies gauloises de Henri de La Tour, paru en 1892 a été unanimement salué par la critique lors de sa parution. Le livre, qui a fait date, présentait pour la première fois de manière ordonnée un aperçu de l'ensemble des monnaies gauloises grâce aux planches du graveur Dardel. Les 55 planches présentant près de 2000 monnaies gauloises qui correspondent à l'illustration des descriptions du Catalogue des monnaies gauloises de la Bibliothèque Nationale rédigé par M. Muret, M. Chabouillet et M. de La Tour (paru en 1889). En 1876, le ministre de l'Instruction publique décida d'entreprendre un catalogue général des monnaies gauloises. A ce moment, on voulait réunir en un Corpus la description de toutes les pièces de cette série conservées dans les musées publics et dans les collections particulières; le texte devait être accompagné d'un atlas. Il était tout naturel de commencer par mettre à contribution le Cabinet de France, le plus riche en monnaies gauloises. La Commission de topographie des Gaules, qui comptait parmi ses membres Saulcy et Gh. Robert, les deux savants les plus versés dans l'étude de la numismatique gauloise, fut chargée de mèner à bien cette oeuvre ; elle désira avoir pour collaborateurs MM. Chabouillet et Muret, du Cabinet de France. On commença aussitôt à réunir les documents nécessaires et à faire exécuter par Dardel de superbes planches, au nombre de quarante-cinq, qui furent payées sur les fonds alloués à la Commission pour les recherches d'antiquités nationales. Ce plan primitif eut pour résultat de réunir, dans les planches, un très grand nombre de pièces étrangères au Cabinet de France. Les monnaies de la Bretagne insulaire sont, en grande partie, empruntées au bel ouvrage de sir John Evans; les collections du Musée de Saint-Germain, de Ch. Robert, de Danicourt, la découverte de Jersey, etc., furent mises à contribution. En 1883, par suite de la dissolution de la Commission de topographie des Gaules, ses membres cessèrent de s'occuper du Catalogue et de l'Atlas. MM. Chabouillet et Muret en restèrent exclusivement chargés et purent réaliser une idée déjà soumise à leurs collègues qu'ils n'avaient pu convaincre; le Catalogue général des monnaies gauloises devint le Catalogue des monnaies gauloises de la Bibliothèque nationale; on laissa de côté l'Atlas, qui ne concordait plus avec le nouveau plan ; on décida que, lorsque ce serait possible, on publierait un second volume de catalogue consacré aux pièces étrangères au Cabinet de France. Ce projet risque fort, faute de travailleurs de bonne volonté, de ne pas être réalisé de longtemps. En résumé, le Cabinet des médailles de France y a gagné d'avoir un Catalogue de ses richesses, augmenté de nombreuses pièces qui ne font pas partie de ses collections, et cela sans qu'il lui coûtât de sacrifices pécuniaires. Ensuite, il fut reconnu que l'Atlas était le complément nécessaire du Catalogue, et on se décida à le mettre à la disposition du public, qui peut ainsi se servir d'un ensemble de planches telles qu'il n'en avait pas rêvé jusqu'à ce jour. Ce livre classique, bien qu'ancien reste encore aujourd'hui l'ouvrage de référence que devraient posséder tous les collectionneurs de monnaies gauloises.

Download or read book The Roman Villa in the Mediterranean Basin written by Annalisa Marzano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a comprehensive survey of Roman villas in Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of the Roman Empire, from their origins to the collapse of the Empire. The architecture of villas could be humble or grand, and sometimes luxurious. Villas were most often farms where wine, olive oil, cereals, and manufactured goods, among other products, were produced. They were also venues for hospitality, conversation, and thinking on pagan, and ultimately Christian, themes. Villas spread as the Empire grew. Like towns and cities, they became the means of power and assimilation, just as infrastructure, such as aqueducts and bridges, was transforming the Mediterranean into a Roman sea. The distinctive Roman/Italian villa type was transferred to the provinces, resulting in Mediterranean-wide culture of rural dwelling and work that further unified the Empire.

Download or read book Roman in the Provinces written by Gail L. Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Roman in the Provinces: Art on the Periphery of Empire" accompanies an exhibition of the same name that will open at Yale University Art Gallery in August 2014 and will travel to the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College in February 2015. With objects assembled primarily from Yale University Art Gallery s world-class Roman and Byzantine collection and including a few significant loans from other institutions, "Roman in the Provinces" explores the varied ways in which different individuals, groups, and regions across the empire reacted to being Roman. Drawing especially on materials from Yale University s excavations at Gerasa and Dura-Europos, the exhibit presents material chronologically and geographically distant from imperial Rome. This focus encourages better characterization and understanding of the local responses and multiple identities in the provinces as they were expressed through material culture. Contributors to this publication offer new scholarship on a wide range of subjects, including religious practices, military customs, and epigraphy, with the common aim of ascertaining what the Roman Empire was actually like and how scholars should approach its study today.

Download or read book The First Modern Museums of Art written by Carole Paul and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the first modern, public museums of art—civic, state, or national—appeared throughout Europe, setting a standard for the nature of such institutions that has made its influence felt to the present day. Although the emergence of these museums was an international development, their shared history has not been systematically explored until now. Taking up that project, this volume includes chapters on fifteen of the earliest and still major examples, from the Capitoline Museum in Rome, opened in 1734, to the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, opened in 1836. These essays consider a number of issues, such as the nature, display, and growth of the museums’ collections and the role of the institutions in educating the public. The introductory chapters by art historian Carole Paul, the volume’s editor, lay out the relationship among the various museums and discuss their evolution from private noble and royal collections to public institutions. In concert, the accounts of the individual museums give a comprehensive overview, providing a basis for understanding how the collective emergence of public art museums is indicative of the cultural, social, and political shifts that mark the transformation from the early-modern to the modern world. The fourteen distinguished contributors to the book include Robert G. W. Anderson, former director of the British Museum in London; Paula Findlen, Ubaldo Pierotti Professor of Italian History at Stanford University; Thomas Gaehtgens, director of the Getty Research Institute; and Andrew McClellan, dean of academic affairs and professor of art history at Tufts University.
