ART HISTORY +DVD Lisa Fagin Davis La Chronique Anonyme Universelle Reading and Writing History in Fifteenth-Century France vi + 439 p., incl. DVD, 97 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMSAH 61, HB, ISBN 978-1-905375-55-4, €175 Available This volume presents the first comprehensive study of the Chronique Anonyme Universelle, a lavishly illustrated scroll history of the world from Creation to the fifteenth century. Working in a French noble library around the year 1410, the anonymous compiler of the Chronique told the story of humanity – nearly six thousand years by his reckoning – by editing historical texts at his disposal, arranging them in parallel columns on a vertical scroll, and filling the inter-columnar space with complex genealogical diagrams. The present volume includes an extensive study of the sources, origin, transmission and illustration of the Chronique along with a critical edition, facing translation, and the entire miniature cycle of manuscript W 4 (c. 1465, now in private hands). Using an innovative image-annotation platform, the DVD insert provides access to a complete digital facsimile of the manuscript, giving the user wide-ranging search and browsing functionality along with complete access to the manuscript, transcription, translation and genealogical diagrams. Lisa Fagin Davis received her PhD in Medieval Studies from Yale University in 1993 and has since catalogued medieval manuscript collections at Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, the Walters Art Museum, Wellesley College, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Boston Public Library, and several private collections. Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History Sharon Dale The Arca di Sant’Agostino and the Hermits of St. Augustine in Fourteenth-Century Pavia iv + 203 p., 43 b/w ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMSAH 74, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-01-6, €100 Available In 1327 Pope John XXII granted the Hermits of St. Augustine joint possession of San Pietro in Ciel d’Oro in Pavia, a church that until then had been for a century in the sole charge of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine. Both orders claimed a founding by St. Augustine himself, whose relics were somewhere in the church – although their precise location was unknown. The unprecedented division of the church and the ensuing conflict between the Hermits and the Canons were embedded in the larger struggle between the forces of universal church and regional state that engulfed the city of Pavia and ultimately much of Italy in the fourteenth century. Both city and church were contested repeatedly among the papacy, the empire, and the Visconti. This book is a study of the political negotiation between the papacy and the Visconti conducted by the Hermits at San Pietro in Ciel d’Oro in the Trecento – and a related examination of the Arca di Sant’Agostino, the patronage and iconography of which were deeply enmeshed in that larger historical context.This volume argues that the Arca’s iconography embraces three seemingly disparate agendas: the Hermits’ own claims to St. Augustine, the celebration of Visconti authority in Lombardy, and the promotion of papal temporal power. Sharon Dale is Associate Professor of Art History at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. Her research interests center on the intersection of cultural, political, and diplomatic history in Late Medieval Italy. She is currently preparing a book on the diplomatic history of northern Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries. Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History 5 Albert Derolez The Making and Meaning of the Liber Floridus A Study of the Original Manuscript, Ghent, University Library, MS 92 iv + 355 p., 50 b/w ills., 100 col. ills. 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMSAH 76, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-22-1, €125 Available The Liber Floridus (1121), composed, written and illustrated by Canon Lambert of Saint-Omer, is the earliest illustrated encyclopedic compilation of the Latin West. Its autograph (Ghent, University Library, MS 92), a masterpiece of Romanesque book art and one of the most complicated manuscripts ever made, has been studied by the author for almost half a century. The present book is the culmination of this research and provides a detailed codicological and textual analysis, showing how this wonderful book was put together and examining the underlying ideas which Lambert sought to develop in its hundreds of texts and pictures dealing with astronomy, geography, natural history, history, religion and countless other subjects. 6 The book is illustrated with some one-hundred colour reproductions and numerous diagrams of quire structures. Three detailed tables will guide the reader to understanding the author’s argument, and full indices give access to the text and provide the basis for further investigation of individual chapters and pictures. Albert Derolez is Emeritus Professor at the Free Universities of Brussels; he was formerly Curator of Manuscripts and Rare Books at the Library of the State University of Ghent. He is Past President of the Comité international de paléographie latine and holds the Kenneth and Shirley Rendell Chair in Manuscript Studies at Rare Book School. Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History Debra Strickland The Epiphany of Hieronymus Bosch Imagining Antichrist and Others from the Middle Ages to the Reformation x + 334 p., 120 b/w ills., 20 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2016, HMSAH 77, HB, ISBN 978-2-503- 53036-9, approx. €110 In Preparation This study examines medieval Christian views of non- Christians and their changing political and theological significance as revealed in late-medieval and early-modern visual culture. Taking Hieronymus Bosch’s famous Epiphany triptych housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid as the point of departure, the author analyzes how representations of Jews, Saracens (later Turks), ‘Ethiopians’, and Mongols for centuries shaped western Christian attitudes towards salvation history, contemporary political conflicts, and the declining status of the Roman Church. She argues that Bosch’s innovative pictorial warning of the coming of Antichrist and the threat posed by non-Christians gained its power and authority through intervisual references to the medieval past. Before and after Bosch, imaginative constructions that identified Jews and Turks with Gog and Magog, or the Pope with Antichrist, drew upon a long-established range of artistic and rhetorical strategies that artists and authors reconfigured as changing political circumstances demanded. Painted at a pivotal moment on the eve of the Reformation, the Prado Epiphany is a compelling lens through which to look backwards to the Middle Ages, and forwards to Martin Luther and the ideological significance of escalating Christian/non-Christian conflicts in the formation of the new Protestant church. Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History 7 Jean Michel Massing, Nicolette Zeeman (eds.) King’s College Chapel 1515-2015 Art, Music and Religion in Cambridge 422 p., 250 col. ills., 225 × 300 mm, 2014, HMSAH 75, HB ISBN 978-1-909400-21-4, €75 Available This newly researched and richly illustrated volume of essays is published to commemorate the five-hundredth anniversary of the completion of King’s College Chapel. Seventeen eminent scholars explore the religious, cultural and artistic history of this spectacular building, from its foundation to the present day. They variously engage with politics, iconoclasm, aesthetics, drama, performance and sound; and, with a fresh and contemporary look at these topics, reveal the way in which the life of the Chapel, both religious and less religious, has developed and changed over the last five-hundred years. The collection of essays covers many varied aspects of the Chapel: the architectural engineering of the magnificent vaulting, the current state of the glorious stained glass windows, and the Chapel’s altarpieces among which the famous painting by Rubens, The Adoration of the Magi, has pride of place. Some of the fascinating personalities who have shaped the Chapel’s role in the life of the College are the subject of other essays. Finally, the history of the Chapel’s musical culture is traced from the first hundred years of the building’s existence up 8 to the twenty-first century, documenting the effect on service ritual and performance by the constantly changing religious practices and musicological values of the past, but at the same time focusing on the present-day fame of the King’s College Choir and the vibrant musical life in the Chapel. To accompany the text, the volume contains over two hundred and fifty illustrations, mostly in colour, offering a corpus of images of King’s College Chapel – prints, watercolours, oil paintings, photographs, architectural drawings, plans, maps and even postcards. These reflect the many and varied responses that the Chapel has elicited over time. REVIEW “Inevitably, so rich and diverse a volume is of particular interest to those associated with or familiar with King’s (...). However, even for those in far-scattered places whose encounter with the chapel may be limited to the broadcast carol service on Christmas Eve, this is a book that will richly repay the investment.” John Harper, in: Early Music, 43/3, 2015 Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History D ISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE ARTS IN THE BURGUNDIAN NETHERLANDS This series brings together art historical research of the Burgundian Netherlands. Susan Urbach, Ágota Varga, András Fáy Early Netherlandish Paintings Old Masters’ Gallery Catalogues Szépművészeti Múzeum Budapest Vol. I 450 p., 100 b/w ills., 200 col. ills., 210 × 297 mm, 2015, HMDC 1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-09-2, €150 Available This is the first volume in a series of scholarly catalogues on Flemish paintings from the Szépművészeti Múzeum in Budapest. Written by Dr Susan Urbach, Curator Emeritus of the Museum and renowned scholar of Northern Renaissance Art, with the assistance of curator Ágota Varga and conservator András Fáy, the catalogue includes extensive entries and bibliographical references on forty-nine works dating from c. 1460 to c. 1540. The volume covers approximately a third of the entire collection of Flemish Painting from the fifteenth century through to the seventeenth and includes the latest results of scholarly research and technical analysis.

Myra D. Orth Renaissance Manuscripts The Sixteenth Century 640 p., 360 b/w ills., 52 col. ills., 230 × 330 mm, 2015, HMMSF 4, HB, ISBN 978-1-872501-30-7, approx. € 250 In Preparation This publication is the first comprehensive survey to establish the importance of Renaissance manuscript illumination in the history of sixteenth-century French art. Although illustrated printed books were circulating freely by the beginning of the sixteenth century, patronage of manuscripts became all the more special to the ruling elite, and commissions from the court, aristocratic circles and the higher clergy resulted in a surge of artistic creativity that produced a wide range of outstanding illustrated works from devotional books to translations of classical and humanistic texts. While continuing the tradition of French figurative art, ornamentation became a major element in the style of the period, with frames and borders becoming a significant feature of the aesthetic impact of the illuminated page. One hundred manuscripts have been chosen for this survey, to represent the artistic 10 excellence of French book production of the period, as well as to demonstrate the stylistic relationships between artists and between books that may be seen to form distinct groups. Many years of research enabled the author to identify the hands of individual illuminators, both named and anonymous, and to connect these to a particular artistic milieu or regional group. Moreover, not only are the stylistic aspects of the manuscripts analyzed, but entirely new information regarding authorship, patronage and historical context of hitherto unstudied material is revealed. To accompany the detailed catalogue, the publication includes a corpus of 360 illustrations that offers a significant visual conspectus of manuscript illumination of the period. In addition to the introductory text, the author also provides brief biographies of Artists and Scribes, Authors and Translators, and Patrons and Dedicatees. A Survey Of Manuscripts Illuminated In France Alison Stones Gothic Manuscripts: 1260-1320 Part Two Manuscripts Made in the East, South-East, South-West, West and Centre of France 2 vols., 1200 p., 800 b/w ills., 100 col. ills., 230 x 330 mm, 2014, HMMSF 3.2, HB, ISBN 978-1-905375-95-0, € 300 Available This book traces the cultural context of book illustration, its production, owners, and makers in the various regions of France in the last third of the thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth centuries. The period c. 1260-1320 marks the emergence and the flowering of what has come to be known as the ‘courtly style’ in French painting, whose dynamic vitality is manifest throughout the region we now call France. By the end of this period French art had assimilated a rich variety of regional works and styles. New texts had been introduced to a range of patrons, and patterns to be played out in the following centuries were in place. Alison Stones Gothic Manuscripts: 1260-1320 Part One Paris and the Province of Sens, Normandy, the Province of Reims 2 vols., 1130 p., 838 b/w ills., 77 col. ills., 230 x 330 mm, 2013, HMMSF 3.1, HB, ISBN 978-1-872501-95-6, € 250 Available REVIEWS "In short, this is a publication that will command the interest of a wide range of readers, not only art historians, but anyone interested in the cultural history and impact of High Gothic France." "(...) Stones' entries are rigorously attentive to the fundamentals of visual analysis, and her characterizations of color, brushwork, draftsmanship, and facture are precise and informative."

Hamburger, in: Medium Aevum, Vol. LXXXIII, No.2 A Survey Of Manuscripts Illuminated In France Alexa Sand, in: The Medieval Review, 15.01.26 11 A CATALOGUE OF WESTERN BOOK ILLUMINATION IN THE FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM AND THE CAMBRIDGE COLLEGES Some 3000 manuscripts are being catalogued according to their place of origin and school of illumination, dating from the sixth to the sixteenth century and covering a wide range of texts both in Latin and in vernacular languages. Stella Panayotova, Deirdre Jackson, Nigel Morgan (eds.) France: c. 1000 - c. 1250 296 p., 382 col. ills., 230 × 330, 2015, HMIMC 3.1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-37-5, €175 Available This volume contains an impressive range of texts, from Horace (Cat. 17) and Ovid (Cat. 61) to the earliest known copy of the Collectio Lanfranci (Cat. 5) and Gerard of Cremona’s translations of Rasis’ works (Cat. 93). The majority, however, consists of Bibles of two kinds: imposing glossed books, produced in great numbers in the twelfth century, and their thirteenth-century successors, the compact pandects. Both categories include some of the most richly illuminated French manuscripts of the period. While this volume contains outstanding examples of illumination, notably the work of the itinerant Simon Master (Cat. 46), it also includes books that are modest in artistic terms, but valuable in other ways. Among them is a glossed Ezekiel which boasts one of the finest Romanesque bindings to survive in Cambridge collections, made almost certainly in Paris c. 1160-1170 (Cat. 41). Other aesthetically unassuming volumes form 12 important groups of material, for instance, the books assembled by Master Robert Amiclas during his forty years in France and given or sold by him to the Cistercian Abbey of Buildwas in Shropshire (Cat. 20-26, 37). The inclusion of numerous full-colour images in this volume, representing Bibles illuminated in all of these different styles, will hopefully inspire and support further research, especially on the ornamental initials which deserve more attention.

A Catalogue of Western Book Illumination in the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Cambridge Colleges NEW SERIES R ENOVATIO ARTIUM This new series of scholarly monographs is devoted to European painting, sculpture, architecture, drawing, and printmaking of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Anne Dunlop Andrea del Castagno and the Limits of Painting iv + 187 p., 2 b/w ills., 78 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMRENA 1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-18-4, € 125 Available The Florentine painter Andrea del Castagno (c. 1419-1457) was a central figure of the Italian Renaissance, and his work appears in every major survey textbook on the period. Giorgio Vasari described Andrea del Castagno a master of drawing and a constant innovator. Vasari also however claimed that Andrea was a cold-blooded assassin, a man who left a self-portrait as Judas and who had murdered a fellow painter to obtain the secret of painting in oil.When Andrea del Castagno drew, he drew blood. The story is untrue; the few documents on the artist suggest an uneventful life and a very successful short career.Yet Vasari’s tale is suggestive, and it serves as the starting point of this book, the first monograph study of Andrea del Castagno in more than three decades. Many of the painter’s visual experiments were artistic dead-ends, seldom or never repeated, and they reveal the limits of a whole emerging visual system. This is painting that struggles to update old schemata for new antiquarian concerns and a new artistic order; natural, supernatural, and imaginary phenomena are all uneasily subject to the same norms of depiction and the same totalizing visibility. In a series of close analyses of key works, this book argues that Andrea del Castagno’s art of creative disruption lays bare the problems and paradigms of early Western art. It is a limit case at the moment when the idea of art was itself coming into being. Renovatio Artium 13 Felipe Pereda Images of Discord Poetics and Politics of the Sacred Image in 15th Century Spain approx. 300 p., 18 b/w ills., 44 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMRENA 2, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-33-7, approx. € 110 In Preparation Felipe Pereda reconstructs the history of religious art in Spain between two crucial dates in the ‘politics of the image’ enforced by the ‘Reyes Católicos’: 1478 and 1501. By focusing first on Seville, then on Granada Pereda evokes the first moments of the institution of the ‘Santo Oficio’ and its later developments. In both cities, the local authorities had established the obligation for citizens to keep religious images within their houses. In Seville, the authorities in particular targeted the ‘marranos’ (Jewish converts); in Granada, the new ‘moriscos’ (converted Muslims). 14 In both cases, the edicts emanated from the confessor of Queen Isabella of Castile, Fray Hernando de Talavera, himself of ‘converso’ origin. At the intersection of social history and intellectual history, Images of Discord shows in which ways religious and social conflicts determined the status and development of sacred art in late fifteenthand early sixteenth-century Castile and Andalusia and, more broadly, the history of Spanish art in the early modern period. Renovatio Artium A RCHITECTURE AND THE ARTS IN EARLY MODERN ITALY This series publishes substantive, peer-reviewed scholarship on the architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, and related arts of Early Modern Italy. Amee Yunn The Bargello Palace The Invention of Civic Architecture in Florence approx. 300 p., 165 b/w ills., 240 × 240 mm, 2015, HMAAI 3, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-31-3, approx. € 100 In Preparation This book offers a new, revised building history of the Bargello, the first town hall of Florence. A careful analysis of documents, fabric, and restoration allows us to reconstruct the original site. It reveals two previously unidentified building stages. The first palace, begun in 1255, adapted an ex-neighborhood consortium reusing an old tower and three houses. In the 1280s, a second palace arose next to it, thus creating a twin-palace complex for the Podestà and Capitano, the highest-ranking public officials. Long misidentified as the 1255 palace, the front wing’s lower two stories were actually built in 1291-1308. An unroofed precinct wall enclosed the older structures behind a monumental facade, forming an open-air courtyard used for tribunals and stables. This part became known as the ‘old palace’ when the large, arcaded courtyard and rear wing were added in 1316-1322. The ‘new palace’ containing the Magdalen Chapel was designed for the Angevin court in residence, not for the communal administration of justice as generally believed. After a 1332 fire devastated the upper stories, the front wing was covered with two immense roof vaults in 1332-1346. This book illustrates the Bargello’s early architecture. Reinterpreting the timeline radically changes our understanding of the palace’s construction, function, and urban context during the formation of early modern Florence. Specialized in late medieval and Renaissance Italy, Amee Yunn concentrated in government as an undergraduate at Harvard and received her PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts, NewYork University. Her research interests are Florence, civic patronage of art, iconography, reuse of materials in building, conservation and restoration.

VISTAS supports the publication of new scholarship on European sculpture of the late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods, 1250-1780. Anne Markham Schulz The Sculpture of Tullio Lombardo vi + 463 p., 339 b/w ills., 225 × 300 mm, 2014, HMVISTAS 1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-17-7, € 140 Available In the first book ever devoted to the sculpture of Venice’s most famous Renaissance marble carver, Markham Schulz integrates all biographical data from primary and secondary sources and criticism of every epoch, with her own first-hand study of Tullio’s work over the course of forty years, to create a comprehensive picture of Tullio’s sculpture – its characteristics and iconography, its sources, development, and influence – within the context of Renaissance Venetian art. At the same time, she explores Tullio’s relations to his father Pietro and his brother Antonio, both renowned sculptors in their own right. The text is accompanied by 339 newly made and largely full-page illustrations, many of sculptures which, on account of their height and inaccessibility, have never been photographed before. Thus, every detail of the author’s meticu- 16 lous and pellucid analyses is made manifest to the reader by illustrations, which not only meet the most exacting standards for the photography of sculpture, but also provide a treasury of gorgeous images. REVIEWS ‘The Sculpture of Tullio Lombardo represents a wonderful beginning to what promises to be a revelatory series of publications.’ David Ekserdjian, in: Apollo, March 2015 ‘A formidable photographic campaign has produced sumptuous black-and-white photographs and revealing close-up details (...). A much-needed and thoughtful overview of an outstanding artist.’ D. Pincus, in: Choice, May 2015 VISTAS New Scholarship on Sculpture 1250-1780 Richard J. Tuttle (auth.) Nadja Aksamija, Francesco Ceccarelli (eds.) The Neptune Fountain in Bologna Bronze, Marble, and Water in the Making of a Papal City vi + 248 p., 150 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMVISTAS 2, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-24-5, € 75 Available As a gateway to the central Piazza Maggiore and a work of singular beauty and elegance, the Neptune Fountain is one of Bologna’s most prized artistic gems, recognized by all but understood by very few. Richard Tuttle’s monograph represents the first comprehensive study of this iconic monument, executed between 1563 and 1567 by the Flemish artist Giambologna and the Sicilian architect Tomaso Laureti, that considers all of the complex aspects of its commission, planning, execution, iconography, and urban impact. Working with an extraordinary body of documentary and visual materials, Richard Tuttle (1941-2009) – one of the world’s foremost authorities on Renaissance Bologna – reveals how the fountain was created collaboratively by papal administrators and artists, how it depended on contemporary hydraulic technology, communicated political messages, and became an instrument of urban renew- al. The book’s broad appeal, scholarly rigor, and eloquent writing promise to make it an indispensable source on Italian sixteenth-century sculpture, architecture and urban planning, as well as a definitive text on this remarkable Renaissance fountain. Richard J. Tuttle (1941–2009) taught Renaissance architectural history at Tulane University for thirty years (1977–2007), before moving to the University of Bologna’s Department of Architecture and Urban Planning in 2007. He was the author of numerous groundbreaking and award-winning studies on Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and urbanism.

Taste and the Antique: The Lure of Classical Sculpture: 1500-1900 Revised and Extended Edition approx. 400 p., 200 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2016, HMVISTAS 3 , HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-25-2, approx. € 100 In Preparation Taste and the Antique offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the reception and afterlife of the most famous ancient statues discovered in Rome and Italy from the Renaissance to the close of the nineteenth century. Before Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus or Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, sculptures like the Laocoön, the Apollo Belvedere or the Medici Venus set the taste of artists, connoisseurs and the educated elites of the West for almost five centuries. Reproduced in every possible media for gardens and palaces throughout Europe, celebrated by poets and writers from Marino and Byron to Proust and Dickens, they served as sources of inspiration for artists as diverse as Michelangelo, Rubens and Turner. Originally published in 1981, Taste and the Antique was hailed by Ernst Gombrich as a thought-provoking work that met a ‘longfelt want’. Reprinted five times since with minor alterations, Haskell and Penny’s book has become a classic of art history that is still used as the standard reference by scholars and anyone interested in the reception of the classical tradition. This new edition offers a complete revision of the original text to incorporate updates and new information on the single statues and their context in the light of research undertaken in the field over the past three decades.

This series provides a new critical edition by Lorenzo Pericolo. Malvasia’s relevant preparatory notes to the Felsina pittrice, or the Scritti originali, are also be published for the first time in their entirety. Carlo Cesare Malvasia, Elizabeth Cropper, Lorenzo Pericolo (eds.) Lives of Domenichino and Francesco Gessi xxiv + 414 p., 151 col. Ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2013, HMFP 13, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-00-9, € 150 Available Richly illustrated, this critical edition and English translation of Malvasia’s lives of Domenichino and Francesco Gessi from his Felsina pittrice offer access to the life and work of two great masters of seventeenth-century Bologna. Domenichino’s life plays a seminal role in Malvasia’s definition of the ‘fourth age’ of painting in Italy. From the very beginning, Malvasia pits Guido Reni and Domenichino, the two champions of the vanguard style that emerged from the Carracci reform of painting, against each other. If Guido becomes the idol of the Lombard and Bolognese school, ‘more attuned to tenderness and audacity’, Domenichino embodies an ideal of perfection more in keeping with the Florentine and Roman school,‘fond of finish and diligence’. Malvasia’s life of Domenichino can be defined as the most tormented and ultimately unsuccessful eulogy in the Felsina pittrice: a great piece of art-historical criticism about an artist whose greatness Malvasia could not deny. His assessment of the artistic personality of Francesco Gessi turns upon the painter’s rivalry with his master, Guido Reni, whose perfection in painting nevertheless remains unmatchable. In relating how Domenichino snatched the highly talented Giovan Battista Ruggeri away from his previous master, Francesco Gessi, Malvasia turns the conflicts inherent in Domenichino’s life into a generational struggle between artistic factions. Felsina Pittrice: The Lives of the Bolognese Painters 19 NEW SERIES T HE MEDICI ARCHIVE PROJECT The point of departure and thematic node of this series are the history of Medici dynasty and their cultural and political primacy in sixteenth- to eighteenth-century Europe. Significant attention will be paid to those scholarly works that employ the four million letter archive (Mediceo del Principato) of the Medici Grand Dukes (1537-1743). MAP’s mission is to make this vast, largely unpublished archival material available: currently, MAP’s on-line platform “BIA” features over 25,000 transcribed and circa 350,000 digitized letters. MAP intends to promote both traditional monographic studies as well as collections of essays. The range of topics includes art history, diplomatic history, history of collecting, religious history, history of medicine, history of music, history of science, book history and military history in Renaissance and early modern Europe, with a particular emphasis on Tuscany and Italy. Alessio Assonitis, Brian Sandberg (eds.) The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive (1537-1743) approx. 300 p., 20 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMMAP 1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-34-4, approx. € 100 In Preparation Taking advantage of the vast archives of the Medici Grand Dukes, the authors of this volume present original research and fresh perspectives on the Medici family and the Tuscan court, revealing the mechanisms of Medicean diplomacy, patronage, and cultural brokerage. The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive offers a unique window into early modern Florentine society through an exploration of the archives of the Medici ruling family. Teeming with four and a half million letters, the archival collection of the Medici Grand Dukes housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence chronicles the culture and history of Europe and beyond, for a span of over two hundred years. The letters of this collection, known as the Mediceo del Principato, embrace a great variety of themes including diplomacy, art, medicine, food, science, and material culture. 20 Since its contents originate from a court archive that served both the state and a ruling family, the collection comprises administrative, political and financial correspondence as well as more private and intimate accounts of the Medici themselves and their activity at court. The sixteen essays address a variety of topics – book history, Ottoman relations, collections of New World artifacts, medical history, gender studies, and material culture – all with direct reference to the Medici Grand Duchy. Making use of these and other original sources, the essays in The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive shed new light on the mechanisms and strategies that enabled Florence to emerge from decades of internecine conflict and diplomatic chaos in order to enjoy cultural and political prominence. The Medici Archive Project S TUDIES IN BAROQUE ART The series Studies in Baroque Art aims to bring together current scholarship on Baroque art, focusing both on Italian and North-European Renaissance Masters. Anna C. Knaap, Michael C. J. Putnam (eds.) Art, Music and Spectacle in the Age of Rubens The Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi +CD viii + 351 p., incl. CD, 203 b/w ills., 35 col. ills., 210 × 280 mm, 2014, HMSBA 3, HB, ISBN 978-1-905375-83-7, € 125 Available This volume deals with the triumphal entry of the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand, brother of King Philip IV of Spain, into Antwerp in 1635, one of the largest and most spectacular festivals ever mounted in an early modern city. The outdoor festivities in honor of the city’s new governor included a citywide procession, performances, fireworks, music, and political speeches. Along the processional route appeared nine richly ornamented stages and arches designed by Peter Paul Rubens and executed by a group of local painters and sculptors, including Jacob Jordaens, Theodoor van Thulden, and Jan van den Hoecke. To commemorate the event, the city commissioned a lavish festival book, entitled the Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi (1641), which contains learned commentaries by Jan Gaspar Gevaerts, a city official and Latinist, as well as folio engravings by Theodoor van Thulden after Rubens’s stages. More than a simple description of the event, Gevaerts’ volume offers a rich compilation of references to ancient writers and reproductions of ancient coins. While most literature on the subject has focused on Rubens’s nine monumental arches and his twelve preparatory oil sketches for the designs, this volume will examine the entry and its accompanying festival book as a whole. A group of highly distinguished specialists from different disciplines will discuss the entry and Gevaerts’ book from a myriad of viewpoints, including art, architecture, music, theater, history, politics, classical knowledge, and economic and intellectual networks. It is the first time that the entry will be examined from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. The book draws on a wide variety of primary sources, including Rubens’s preparatory oil sketches, Gevaerts’ festival book, pamphlets describing the entry, and political songs from the period.

Stoichita The Self-Aware Image. An Insight Into Early Modern Meta-Painting A Revised and Updated Edition vi + 337 p., 138 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMSBA 4, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-11-5, € 125 Available The notion of the painting as an art object is relatively recent. This volume offers an impressive and complex account of the origins and development of this invention from the late Renaissance through the end of the baroque age. In comparison to the ‘old’ image characterized by its preeminently liturgical function and its display in a predetermined space, the ‘new’ image is increasingly autonomous and movable. As a modern art object, the painting becomes the focus of an aesthetic contemplation through its insertion into a gallery or a collection. As a result of the Protestant iconoclasm and the advancement of scientific knowledge, the essence and role of the image is put into question and thematized not only by theologians and scholars, but especially by artists. The painting thus becomes a field of 22 visual experimentation in which art reflects on itself, its potential, its limits, its truth, and its nothingness. The pictorial devices through which artists introduce their authorial self into the image and stage the making of the image itself form the foundation of a new poetics: the poetics of meta-painting. First published in French in 1993, Victor Stoichita’s The Self-Aware Image has become a classic of the history of art. This new, updated, and improved English edition marks the twentieth anniversary of a work that radically changed the perception of seventeenth-century art and that constitutes an ever-valid reference for contemporary scholarship. An introduction by Lorenzo Pericolo illustrates the great importance of the book to our comprehension of baroque painting. Studies in Baroque Art This definitive Catalogue Raisonné of the work of the great C ORPUS RUBENIANUM LUDWIG BURCHARD Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens is being published in twenty-seven parts, some parts appearing in more than one volume. The Corpus is based on the material assembled over several decades by Ludwig Burchard, universally recognized as the foremost scholar in this field. After Dr Burchard’s death in 1960, his material was handed over to the City of Antwerp to be edited by the Centrum voor de Vlaamse Kunst in de 16e en 17e eeuw. Each part is written by a well-known scholar and the aim is to realize Burchard’s intention of embodying all present-day knowledge of the work of Rubens. Carl Van de Velde, Fiona Healy, Karolien De Clippel, Elizabeth McGrath, Bert Schepers, Gregory Martin Mythological Subjects approx.700 p., incl. ills., 220 x 280 mm, 2016, HMCRLB 11, ISBN 978-0-905203-67-6, approx. € 275 In Preparation One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world. Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard 23 Christine Van Mulders Works in Collaboration: Jan Brueghel I & II approx. 375 p., 120 b/w ills., 40 col. ills., 180 × 265 mm, 2016, HMCRLB 27.1, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-43-6, approx. € 175 In Preparation Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder were collaborating as painters as early as c. 1598, before Rubens’s stay in Italy, but the most important period of their alliance spans from 1609 to 1621. After the death of Jan Brueghel the Elder in 1625, his son Jan the Younger continued the partnership with Rubens until the latter’s death in 1640. The collaborative oeuvre of Rubens and Brueghel can be roughly divided into three groups: Madonnas in garlands of flowers, interiors with allegories, and landscapes with mythological and religious themes. Following his Italian sojourn and after his appointment as court painter to the Archdukes Albert and Isabella in 1609, Rubens also developed artistic relationships with other colleagues including Paul Bril and Frans Snyders. Works in collaboration with Brueghel from this period include the beautiful Mars Disarmed by Venus (Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum), the Garden of Eden (The Hague, Mauritshuis) and the 24 Louvre Madonna, made for Cardinal Federico Borromeo. The culmination of the two men’s creative relationship is the fivepart series of the Allegories of the Senses of 1617-1618 (Madrid, Prado), which lies at the heart of the present volume. The cycle depicts the Five Senses against a backdrop of princely splendour and is an extraordinary feat both artistically and in terms of its iconography. During the twenties Brueghel and Rubens co-produced multiple landscapes with history scenes, mainly in response to the demand for such works from a growing regular clientele. Diana’s Departure for the Hunt and Sleeping Diana and Nymphs (Paris, Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature) are fine examples. Although Rubens maintained lifelong working partnerships with other artists, the works he produced in conjunction with Brueghel form a special group, reflecting the personal friendship that existed between the two men. Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard Lieneke Nijkamp, Prisca Valkeneers, Koen Bulckens (eds.) Picturing Ludwig Burchard (1886-1960) A Rubens Scholar in Art-Historiographical Perspective 164 p., 56 b/w ills., 1 col. ill., 180 × 265 mm, 2015, HMSTAH , PB, ISBN 978-1-909400-20-7, € 65 Available This book is the result of the international study day held on 6 December 2013 to celebrate the Rubenianum 50th anniversary. In 1963 a ship landed at the port of Antwerp carrying the specialized library and photo archive of the eminent Rubens scholar Ludwig Burchard. Ever since, the Rubenianum has been able to pride itself on this important legacy and to expand it in order to become the internationally renowned study centre for sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Flemish art it is today. The proceedings aim to contextualize and to bring to light the man who stood at the beginning of the Rubenianum collection. What is his role within Rubens research? What characterizes the documentation he left us? How might he have operated when compared to his peers? Who was Ludwig Burchard? REVIEW “Burchard’s meticulously collected material and photographs still is a milestone for the Rubensforschung. This book is the result of an international study day held at the Rubenianum on December 6, 2013, to celebrate its 50th anniversary.” Veronika Kopecky, in: Historians of Netherlandish Art Review of Books, September 2015 Published outside a Series 25 TMUSEUM HE PAPER OF CASSIANO DAL POZZO The ‘Museo Cartaceo’ (‘Paper Museum’) is a collection of some 10,000 watercolours, drawings and prints, assembled during the seventeenth century by the Roman patron and collector Cassiano dal Pozzo and his brother Carlo Antonio. It represents one of the most significant attempts before the age of photography to embrace human knowledge in visual form. The catalogue raisonné, in 35 volumes, will give unprecedented access to this major source of reference for the intellectual, cultural, artistic and scientific history of seventeenth-century Europe. Brent Elliott, Luigi Guerrini, David Pegler Flora: Federico Cesi’s Botanical Manuscripts 3 vols., 1328 p., 869 col. ills., 220 × 285 mm, HMPMB 7, HB, ISBN 978-1-905375-78-3, € 260 Available This three-volume catalogue presents five manuscripts containing some 780 mainly botanical drawings, now in the library of the Institut de France. They were produced for Federico Cesi in the 1620s to further the researches of the scientific society he had founded in Rome, the Accademia dei Lincei, of which Cassiano dal Pozzo was a member. Many of the drawings depict plants such as ferns, bryophytes, mosses and liverworts, which had been considered ‘imperfect’ because (like fungi) they seemed to lack reproductive structures – flowers, fruit or seeds. These drawings constitute some of the earliest microscopic studies in the history of science. One manuscript is dedicated to illustrations of seaweeds and is the first known sustained study of this subject, while another is a miscellaneous volume that includes thirty prints as well as drawings of fungi and lichen, insects, a bat, a hermaphrodite rat and 26 other curiosities. Introductory essays discuss the importance of these drawings to Cesi’s researches and how the manuscripts made their way into the collections of the Institut de France, their botanical content and place in the history of botanical illustration. All drawings are reproduced as full-plate colour illustrations and accompanied by botanical identifications and commentary. Brent Elliott was the Librarian of the Royal Horticultural Society from 1982 to 2007, and is now the Society’s Historian. Luigi Guerrini is a historian specialising in the history of science in Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and particularly in the history of the early Accademia dei Lincei (1603–30). David Pegler is the former Head of Mycology at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He has published 16 books and more than 300 scientific papers.

Franklin, Bernard Nurse, Pamela Tudor-Craig Catalogue of Paintings in the Collection of the Society of Antiquaries of London 520 p., 259 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2014, HMCAT 3, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-19-1, € 200 Available This definitive catalogue of the paintings in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries provides a detailed discussion of one of the world’s most important collections of English royal portraits. The collection includes such individual works as the portrait of Richard III with his broken sword – signifying the king’s defeat at the Battle of Bosworth and the subjugation of the royal house of York – and of Mary I by Hans Eworth, painted shortly after her coronation on 1 October 1553, in which every detail of her dress and jewellery speaks of her iron determination, adherence to the Catholic faith and her sense of destiny. In this richly illustrated volume, every picture in the collection is shown in large scale, along with related works from other major collections around the world. Introductory essays set the collection in context, a collection that, as leading art historian Sir Roy Strong says in his introduction to the catalogue, ‘contains some of London’s hidden jewels … works of the utmost national importance’.

T RIBUTES Mark Stocker, Phillip G. Lindley (eds.) Tributes to Jean Michel Massing Towards a Global Art History approx. 280 p., 178 b/w ills., 16 col. ills., 220 × 280 mm, 2015, HMTRIB 7, HB, ISBN 978-1-909400-38-2, approx. € 100 In Preparation An indispensable study for all admirers of Jean Michel Massing’s work, this publication includes essays reflecting some of the many fields of research that he has explored throughout his academic career. Twenty-one of Professor Massing’s colleagues and former students have contributed to this volume on the occasion of his retirement as Professor of Art at the University of Cambridge. The global aspect of Jean Michel Massing’s oeuvre forms the binding element between the various topics covered in this collection, paying homage to the interdisciplinary nature of his approach to the field of art history. Defying strictly linear, spatio-temporal trajectories, this volume is an ongoing conversation with 28 Professor Massing, ambitiously taking his brilliant work as the inspiration and basis for the further development of a global history of art. Jean Michel Massing has been a guiding force in the department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge since 1977 and is a leading figure in the discipline internationally. His publications have covered an extraordinary range of subjects, including classical art and its influence from Antiquity to the Renaissance, investigations into medieval and early modern astrological and religious imagery, the Ars memorativa, the emergence of the emblem, African art, and the image of the Black. Tributes Matthew M. Reeve (ed.) Tributes to Pierre du Prey Architecture and the Classical Tradition, from Pliny to Posterity vii + 288 p., 129 b/w ills., 210 × 275 mm, 2015, HMTRIB 6, ISBN 978-1-909400-12-2, € 100 Available This volume comprises sixteen essays honoring Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey and his invaluable contributions to the field of art and architecture. Drawing inspiration from the language of classicism in architecture, its morphology and replications, which has been the dominant theme of du Prey’s work throughout his internationally renowned career, friends, colleagues and students pay their respects to the dedicatee through their own original and di- verse scholarly interests. To borrow Pierre du Prey own phrase from his postlude to this book, his ever-inspiring ‘belief in the value of architecture to society’ has been the driving force behind the innovative research that makes up this volume.
