A Reluctant Author
Cardinal Reginald Pole (1500-1558) left an abundance of manuscripts that have lacked an inventory & description. This monograph is intended to remedy that lack & perhaps contribute to a critical edition of some of his major works, especially "Pro ecclesiasticae unitatis defensione (De unitate)," "Apologia ad Carolum Quintum" "De summo pontifice," "De sacramento," a more complete version of "Discorso di pace," &, the most difficult text, "De reformatione ecclesia." In order to grasp the importance of such a project, this volume provides a sketch of Pole's career & the significance of these works.
advanced very high resolution radiometer AVHRR
Since the launch of the first of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRRs) in 1978, the data from these instruments has used for a wide range of non-meteorological applications. In this book, the author describes satellite system, AVHRRs, control of the spacecraft, and data- recovery arrangements. The book covers processing of the data to extract useful environmental information. The applications of the data to marine problems, based primarily on the study of sea-surface temperatures from the thermal-infrared channels of the instrument, are considered, as well as the study of vegetation and a whole variety of other land-based and hydrological applications.
Le Policratique de Jean de Salisbury, 1372, livre V
Le livre V du Policraticus, ce miroir des princes composé par Jean de Salisbury, présente l'originalité d'intégrer ce que le Moyen Age considérait comme le miroir des princes de Plutarque, l'Institutio Trajani, qui, indépendamment du problème épineux de la paternité et de l'origine du texte, partage l'esprit des traités politiques et moraux de Plutarque. Traduit par Denis Foulechat en 1372, le Policraticus fait son entrée à la cour de Charles V. Les références à la situation politique, morale et juridique du XIIe siècle dans l'empire Plantagênet, mais aussi aux auteurs antiques et médiévaux faisant autorité en la matière définissent le Livre V du Policraticus comme l'ax...
Botticelli Past and Present
The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.
