Eighteenth-Century Indian Muraqqaʿs
Fourteen essays and one appendix discuss numerous eighteenth-century Indo-Persianate albums (muraqqaʿs) consisting of folios with paintings, calligraphic pieces, and elaborate decorative margins. These albums – now in Berlin, Baroda, London, Paris, and Manchester – were assembled for or collected by the Mughal nawabs of Awadh (Uttar Pradesh), local elites in Bengal and Bihar, as well as Europeans. The book not only presents hitherto rarely investigated material, but also provides general information and many new discoveries based on first-hand codicological study and historical research. It will significantly expand our knowledge of the production, collecting practices, and audiences of muraqqaʿs in eighteenth-century India.

Music for Three Or More Pianists
Documents the literature for multiple pianos--hugely popular in the 19th century and starting to regain popularity now. Until the early 20th century when recordings began to proliferate, transcriptions and arrangements of symphonic and chamber music were issued for pianists to familiarize themselves with rarely heard music. When the transcription tide receded, original works for multiple pianos attracted a number of important 20th-century composers. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
De zee in je ogen
Amsterdam, 1641. De vierentwintigjarige Francesca di Paolo wordt per abuis ontvoerd. Dat is het begin van een romance tussen haar en Dirk Vredeman, een zeeman die fortuin gemaakt heeft in Indië.

After Dictatorship
Numerous studies concerning transitional justice exist. However, comparatively speaking, the effects actually achieved by measures for coming to terms with dictatorships have seldom been investigated. There is an even greater lack of transnational analyses. This volume contributes to closing this gap in research. To this end, it analyses processes of coming to terms with the past in seven countries with different experiences of violence and dictatorship. Experts have drawn up detailed studies on transitional justice in Albania, Argentina, Ethiopia, Chile, Rwanda, South Africa and Uruguay. Their analyses constitute the empirical material for a comparative study of the impact of measures intro...
