Sagalassos VI

Archaeology

Geo- and Bio-Archaeology in the Territory of Sagalassos Patrick Degryse & Marc Waelkens (eds)

Since 1990, the ancient city of Sagalassos in southwestern Turkey has been the focus of an interdisciplinary archaeological research project coordinated by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The papers collected in this volume reveal how the meticulous systematic and interdisciplinary reconstruction of the ecology and economy of the site and its territory has enhanced our understanding of the ancient settlement and its inhabitants beyond the traditional aspects of classical archaeology in Asia Minor. Highlighting geo-archaeological, archaeometrical, and bio-archaeological work performed within the framework of excavations and surveys between 1996 and 2006, this important book’s insights greatly enhance the promotion of real interdisciplinarity in classical archaeology. patrick degryse is Research Professor of Archaeometry and vice-director of the Centre for Archaeological Sciences at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

A Holocene Prehistoric Sequence in the Egyptian Red Sea Area: The Tree Shelter

Archaeology

Archaeology

Les peintures sur vases de Nagada I – Nagada II

Pierre M. Vermeersch (ed.)

The prehistory of the Eastern Desert of Egypt is not well understood. A Holocene Prehistoric Sequence in the Egyptian Red Sea Area: The Tree Shelter is an important contribution to our knowledge of the Epi-Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Predynastic occupation of the area. It presents the results of an excavation of a small rock shelter near Quseir, Egypt, which is one of the rare stratified sites in the Eastern Egyptian desert.

The stratigraphic sequence starts around 8000 bp and continues until about 5000 bp. The archaeological material attests clear connections with the Nile Valley and the Western Desert during the wet Holocene period. Topics covered in the book include the site’s lithics and ceramics, microwear analysis of the lithic artefacts, and the woody vegetation of the Neolithic period. pierre m. vermeersch is Emeritus Professor at the Katholieke Universiteit

This work proposes a new approach to Egyptian Predynastic iconography, based essentially on a study of vases with complex painted decorations from the prehistoric Naqada culture. It describes and illustrates for the first time 650 of these objects–the widest collection yet to be studied–along with some unpublished material. The author fully explains the rules of composition and the implementation of the decoration, thus elucidating the image function as well as the origin of some iconographic themes of the Pharaonic period.

The book’s original and instructive perspective defines the historic context, revealing a period getting ready for the emergence of writing and Pharaonic civilization.

Cultural History

Sources of Regionalism in the Nineteenth-Century Architecture, Art and Literature Linda Van Santvoort, Jan De Maeyer & Tom Verschaffel (eds)

Architectural concepts and styles seem to flourish from the most local of contexts to the global. This book investigates the regional, often conceived today as a late nineteenth-century phenomenon, primarily on account of the preservation and restoration movements that arose.

An interdisciplinary approach to regionalism, as manifested not only in architecture but also in art and literature, necessitates a more thorough examination of the complexity and multilayered quality of the phenomenon. The research is limited in time to the nineteenth century plus the years leading up to the First World War, and in place to Western Europe, with an emphasis on Belgium, France and England, and to a lesser extent on the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. Derived from the workshop ‘The Sources of Regionalism’ (Ghent, 2004) held by the fwo research group World Views, Cultural Identities and Architecture in Western Europe, 1815-1940, the essays in this book examine the meaning of regionalism in architecture, art, and literature, its sources, and its cultural and historical background.

Based on the cultural insight that ‘historism’ – understood as the projection of the past into the present by artistic means, or the ‘invention of tradition’ – always occurs in close connection with the emergence of nation states, this volume describes for the first time the cultural and denominational character and development of the Maas-Rhine region during the period between the French Revolution and the First World War. Seventeen contributions shed new and revealing light on the cultural identity of this Catholic-dominated core region of Europe, using the defining term ‘historism’ as the historiographical element that unifies the book’s four sections (Social and Church Historical Context, The Organisational Structure of Ecclesiastical Art, Centres of Art, ‘Grenzgänger’: between Theory and Praxis). wolfgang cortjaens is PhD in Art History (Universität Aachen).

Research continues to show that the Christian religion is gradually disappearing from the public, cultural and social spheres in Western Europe. Even on the individual level, institutionalised religion is becoming increasingly marginalised. Some scholars, however, speak of a repositioning of the Christian churches in post-modern Europe, citing new forms of religious life and community. This book focuses on the complex mutations the Christian churches in Western Europe have experienced since World War II. The authors offer a comparative exploration of the situations in several countries and describe the evolution (including the specific growth and decline) of the various Christian denominations.

In 1936 schreef de befaamde economist John Maynard Keynes: ‘ideas of economists and political philosophers are more powerful than is commonly understood’. Keynes ging daarmee in tegen de diepgewortelde overtuiging in de studie van de politieke besluitvorming dat belangen van economische aard vaak allesbepalend zijn. De belangrijkste strekkingen in het hedendaagse onderzoek naar politieke besluitvorming slagen er niet in om ideeën een duidelijke plaats te geven. In dit boek wordt de uitspraak van Keynes met een nieuw denkkader over de verhouding tussen ideeën en belangen getoetst aan een Belgische casus.

Er wordt onderzocht of de liberale economische wetenschap zich kon opdringen als richtsnoer voor het Belgische landbouwbeleid tussen 1830 en 1884. De landbouwpolitiek vormt een interessante casus omdat de economisten het intrekken van de protectionistische graanwetten als een eerste graadmeter voor hun succes beschouwden. Bovendien werd België in het midden van de negentiende eeuw geteisterd door een belangrijke voedselcrisis.

De opvattingen van de economisten en hun inspanningen om de politieke economie te verspreiden worden onderzocht, evenals de politieke besluitvorming over staatsinterventie in de landbouw en het graanhandelsbeleid.

After a distinguished career of more than 35 years, Ignace Bossuyt retired as professor at the Musicology Department of the University of Leuven on October 1st 2007. As an internationally recognised leader in the field of later-16th-century music, Bossuyt consolidated the department’s reputation as a centre of excellence in renaissance music studies. Articles in this volume deal with music from the period on which the dedicatee focussed his own research. Subjects discussed include newly discovered music by Philippe de Monte and Heinrich Isaac, humour in the motets of Orlando di Lasso, the beginnings of music history, compositional procedures in renaissance music, and Tinctoris’s art of listening.

A wide range of methodological perspectives is offered, including historiography, reception studies, source studies, music analysis, music theory, style studies, and aesthetics of music. The publication is both a Festschrift in which distinguished specialists honour an outstanding colleague, and a Liber Amicorum compiled for a dear friend.

Contemporary Photography

Photography between Poetry and Politics The Critical Position of the Photographic Medium in Contemporary Art

Hilde Van Gelder & Helen Westgeest (eds)

This book examines a recurrent question in recent literature on the use of the photographic medium in contemporary art.

It is concerned with the multiformity of ways the photograph manifests itself in diverse artistic practices today, and with the consequences of this situation for photography’s critical potential. Central to this discussion is the question whether photography has a hybrid or chameleonic character because it can be part of entirely different mixed-media works of art.

The book also raises such questions as: Does the photo-image nowadays serve mainly as a useful tool to make a renewed kind of tableau, often marked by a rather noncommittal and ‘poetic’ visual imagery? When photographic practices aim at raising a critical debate on the internal workings of the artistic system itself or on broader social problems, is the photograph then able to distinguish itself from a merely ‘political’ statement or a pamphlet? A distinguished variety of authors, all specialists in the field of contemporary photography, offer their viewpoints on this debate.

‘Love is joy with the accompanying idea of an external cause.’

Spinoza’s definition of love (Ethics Book 3, Prop. lix) manifests a major paradigm shift achieved by seventeenth century Europe in which the emotions, formerly seen as normative ‘forces of nature,’ were embraced by the new science of the mind. We are determined to volition by causes. This shift has often been seen as a transition from a philosophy laden with implicit values and assumptions to a more scientific and value-free way of understanding human action.

But is this rational approach really value-free? Today we incline to believe that values are inescapable, and that the descriptivemechanical method implies its own set of values. Yet the assertion

by Spinoza, Malebranche, Leibniz, and Enlightenment thinkers that love guides us to wisdom – and even that the love of a God who creates and maintains order and harmony in the world forms the core of ethical behaviour – still resonates powerfully with us.

It is, evidently, an idea we are unwilling to relinquish.

This collection of insightful essays emerged from two ‘ContactFora’ organized within the framework of the research project Actuality of the Enlightenment: The Moral Science of Emotions, conducted under the auspices of Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van Belgie voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten. It offers a range of important and fascinating perspectives on how the triumph of ‘reason’ affected not only our scientific-philosophical understanding of the emotions and especially of love, but our everyday understanding as well. gábor boros is Professor of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy of the Faculty of Arts of Lorand Eötvös University Budapest.

Henrici de Gandavo Quaestiones Variae Girard J. Etzkorn (ed.)

In the process of completing his critical edition of Marcus of Orvieto’s Liber de Moralitatibus, Dr. Girard J. Etzkorn happened upon a set of questions attributed to Henry of Ghent at the end of Rome’s Bibliotheca Angelica codex 750. These questions are edited in this volume under the proviso ‘attributed to’ so that scholars may compare the texts with other works of the Ghentian master known to be authentic. Based upon some intitial comparisons Etzkorn concludes that the ten questions appear to be of two literary genres. The first six are best fitted into the category of Disputed Questions while Questions seven to ten are better characterized as Quodlibetal questions given their relative brevity and small number of objections ‘pro’ and ‘contra’. Moreover, the ten questions seem to be ‘selected’ questions and were not likely disputed at the same time. Future investigations are essential to find out if the questions may indeed be attributed to Henry himself or whether they have been written by one of Henry’s disciples who was ‘copying’ the thoughts and words of the master.

Prior to his retirement in 1995 girard j. etzkorn was a Research Professor at St. Bonaventure University’s Franciscan Institute.

Henricus Bate. Speculum divinorum et quorundam naturalium

La transmission d’un thème platonicien, des Alexandrins à la philosophie arabo-musulmane Daniël De Smet, Meryem Sebti & Godefroid de Callataÿ (eds)

Henry Bate’s Speculum divinorum (ca. 1285-1302) is a huge philosophical encyclopedia in which the author depicts his Neoplatonic-Peripatetic world-view. Dwelling on a rich variety of Greek, Arabic, Hebrew and Latin sources, he thoroughly discusses all main issues of Aristotle’s natural philosophy (including psychology) and metaphysics, and systematically attempts to reconcile the Aristotelian perspective with the viewpoint of Plato and late ancient Platonists. Though deeply influenced by both Averroes and Aquinas, he is neither an Averroist nor a Thomist. Rather, Bate’s Mirror reflects Albert the Great’s ideal of the fiducia philosophantis, whose ‘intellect is enlightened in accord with heavenly beauty.’

Henricus Bate. Speculum divinorum et quorundam naturalium

Grâce à sa grande richesse, la métaphore platonicienne du miroir a été adoptée, amplifiée et élaborée dans l’Antiquité par une multitude d’auteurs, certes tous d’inspiration platonicienne, mais appartenant à la fois au paganisme et au christianisme. Lorsqu’on étudie cette métaphore dans le corpus philosophique, mystique et poétique en terre d’Islam, on constate qu’il ne s’agit pas d’une récurrence fortuite, d’un lieu commun, d’un archétype de la pensée humaine. Il s’agit au contraire de l’adoption d’un thème précis, toujours lié à un contexte platonicien malgré la pluralité des courants dans lesquels il apparaît.

Les contributeurs au livre Miroir et Savoir se sont attachés à étudier les modalités selon lesquelles le thème platonicien du miroir est passé du paganisme et du christianisme à la culture arabo-musulmane, de la langue grecque et syriaque à l’arabe et au persan.

Latin and Vernacular Translations of Scientific Treatises in Medieval Europe Michèle Goyens, Pieter De Leemans & An Smets (eds)

Medieval translators played an important role in the development and evolution of a scientific lexicon. At a time when most scholars deferred to authority, the translations of canonical texts assumed great importance. Moreover, translation occurred at two levels in the Middle Ages. First, Greek or Arabic texts were translated into the learned language, Latin. Second, Latin texts became source-texts themselves, to be translated into the vernaculars as their importance across Europe started to increase.

The situation of the respective translators at these two levels was fundamentally different: whereas the former could rely on a long tradition of scientific discourse, the latter had the enormous responsibility of actually developing a scientific vocabulary. The contributions in the present volume investigate both levels, greatly illuminating the emergence of the scientific terminology and concepts that became so fundamental in early modern intellectual discourse. The scientific disciplines covered in the book include, among others, medicine, biology, astronomy, and physics.

During the sixteenth century, the traditional act of dedicating a text took on a new meaning due to the wider dissemination of the printed book. As the dedication and other paratexts thus became an almost indispensable part of the publication, they merit careful examination by those who study the presentation and impact of any printed work in its context. Paratexts bridge the gap between the outside world of the reading public and the enclosed world of the book, and often present biographical information concerning the persons involved in the making of the book. In the present volume, general reflections as well as case studies in the field of paratexts to Latin works and to musical compositions on Latin texts consider and exemplify these as well as other aspects of paratexts.

The multidisciplinary perspective further enriches the insight in form, function and nature of the dedicatory act in the sixteenth century.

A synthesis of the nature of the sixteenth-century dedication is thus presented, relevant not only to Neo-Latinists and musicologists, but also to (book) historians, philologists, and others.

Waarmee houden wetenschappers vandaag de dag zich bezig? En welke invloed hebben hun ideeën en ontdekkingen op ons en op de wereld om ons heen? Deze vraag vormt het uitgangspunt van de jaarlijkse terugkerende en inmiddels zeer gewaardeerde lezingenreeks ‘Lessen voor de xxi-ste eeuw’ van de K.U.Leuven. De veertiende editie ‘Denken en weten over de wereld’ gunt het algemene publiek een blik achter de schermen van het laboratorium, het atelier of de studeerkamer en laat zien op welke wijze klimaatverandering, voedselvoorziening, opvoeden en onderwijs, bierbrouwen, humor, beeldcultuur en milieu, de rol van de usa, medische statistiek, het levenseinde of navelstrengbloed een impact hebben op het dagelijkse leven.

What preoccupies scientists today? What is the impact of their ideas and discoveries on ourselves and on our society? This question is the starting point of the ‘Lectures for the twenty-first century’. Parallel to the established Dutch series, this year for the first time an English edition was organized.

This first English edition offers an international audience a glimpse behind the scenes of the laboratories, the work shops or the studies and shows how linguistic justice, the history of Belgium, Fair Play, food supplies, global change, cultural identity, China and the global environmental government, civil law, bioinformatics, molecular medicine, art and cultural identity of the Low Countries and vortices in nature impact our daily lives.

Dedicated to increasing our knowledge and awareness of the ever-growing diversity and pluralism of global society, Forum A. & A. Leysen has initiated an annual debate/lecture series, beginning with a focus on Islam in today’s world and in Europe in particular.

Seven well-known influential authorities – each an active participant in the public debate on the global role of Islam past, present and future – recently presented papers at the first Intercultural Relations Conference sponsored by Forum A.& A. Leysen. These important contributions, on the topic Islam and Europe: Challenges and Possibilities, are reprinted in this volume.

Although each contributor speaks from his own distinctive point of view, a common message emerges from all seven texts: only dialogue – on the one hand between the West (countries that manifest themselves as Western Democratic constitutional states) and Islam, and on the other hand within and among societies historically identified with Islam – will overcome entrenched confrontation and negative animosity, engender new possibilities and understandings, and, by encouraging free and critical thinking, pave the way to social equity and the scientific innovation that, potentially, can lead to more prosperity. In the course of the conference all seven talks led to fascinating debates. This book includes the most important questions asked and the speakers’ responses. Although the question of how to actually construct the dialogue remains unsettled, this ground-breaking book takes a giant step toward an answer. speakers John Richard Bowen, Ruud Peters, Bassam Tibi, Tariq Modood, Nasr Abu Zayd, Sadik Al-Azm, Tariq Ali
