European Art of the Eighteenth Century
"The Art Through the Century series introduces readers to important visual vocabulary of Western art."--Back cover.
The Jewish Eighteenth Century, Volume 2
The second volume of Shmuel Feiner's The Jewish Eighteenth Century covers the period from 1750 to 1800, a time of even greater upheavals, tensions, and challenges. The changes that began to emerge at the beginning of the eighteenth century matured in the second half. Feiner explores how political considerations of the Jewish minority throughout Europe began to expand. From the "Jew Bill" of 1753 in Britain, to the surprising series of decrees issued by Joseph II of Austria that expanded tolerance in Austria, to the debate over emancipation in revolutionary France, the lives of the Jews of Europe became ever more intertwined with the political, social, economic, and cultural fabric of the continent. The Jewish Eighteenth Century, Volume 2: A European Biography, 1750–1800 concludes Feiner's landmark study of the history of Jewish populations in the period. By combining an examination of the broad and profound processes that changed the familiar world from the ground up with personal experiences of those who lived through them, it allows for a unique explanation of these momentous events.

Saints in Art
"From Agatha to Zeno, this book presents the images and attributes of more than one hundred saints, those most frequently encountered in sacred art, history and legend, tradition and devotional literature. Lavishly illustrated, this book introduces the saints with their identifying attributes, notes on their lives and martyrdoms, and visual references that make it easy to identify their characters and legends and the forms of worship for each."--BOOK JACKET.
Kulturowe emanacje ciała
Jako istoty rozumne od zarania dziejów próbowaliśmy pytać (i wciąż pytamy) o naturę związku naszego ciała i świadomości. Dziś wiemy już, że ów związek nie tylko jest realizowany w sferze biologii, lecz także wykracza daleko poza nią. Relację ciało - świadomość określają bowiem uwarunkowania geograficzne, religijne, społeczne, ekonomiczne, polityczne i kulturowe. Z dzisiejszej perspektywy podejmowanie refleksji nad istnieniem człowieka wymaga włączenia do rozważań nad jego fizycznym bytem wątków pochodzących z różnych dyscyplin naukowych. Nałożenie interdyscyplinarnej optyki na refleksję nad ciałem daje możliwość ukazania złożonej i jednocześnie n...
Die Barockbaumeister Fischer von Erlach
Die Bibliografie stellt mit über 6.000 Titeln die Forschungsbreite zu dem Leben und Werk der Barockbaumeister Johann Bernhard und Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach.

Sowohl dem Einsteiger wie den Fachleuten wird damit erstmals wieder ein wichtiges Instrumentarium zur Recherche an die Hand gegeben.

Waiting for Verdi
The name Giuseppe Verdi conjures images of Italians singing opera in the streets and bursting into song at political protests or when facing the firing squad. While many of the accompanying stories were exaggerated, or even invented, by later generations, Verdi's operas—along with those by Rossini, Donizetti, and Mercadante—did inspire Italians to imagine Italy as an independent and unified nation. Capturing what it was like to attend the opera or to join in the music at an aristocratic salon, Waiting for Verdi shows that the moral dilemmas, emotional reactions, and journalistic polemics sparked by these performances set new horizons for what Italians could think, feel, say, and write.
