Surviving pre-Eyckian panel painting of around 1400 is in short supply, but more remains than was thought. At present the list of works to be studied includes some thirty objects in collections in Belgium and elsewhere. In the first volume ten objects, which in fact constitute the majority of pre-Eyckian works in Belgian collections, are documented as thoroughly as possible. Their interpretation is underpinned not only by classic art historical analysis but also by macro-photography, X-radiography, infrared photography and reflectography, dendrochronological data and, in so far as was feasible or justifiable, laboratory analysis of pigments and binding media. The research has benefited to the full from the expertise of the many specialists of the IRPA/KIK. In volume two of this publication are a number of individual contributions by 'guest authors'. They cover diverse topics, ranging from specific technical observations regarding one noteworthy feature or group of works, to historical context, peripheral iconographic phenomena, aspects of restoration, and the exploration of Ghent's archives by way of a case study.

Dit boek gaat over de vraag wat zorg in de laatste levensfase geslaagd maakt in de beleving van patiënten, hun naasten en hun zorgverleners. Artsen en ethici gaan in het boek op zoek naar het ‘Higgs-deeltje’ van palliatieve zorg: onzichtbaar maar essentieel voor de samenhang en het goede begrip. Het goede levenseinde in casussen biedt vingerwijzingen aan iedereen die belang heeft bij geslaagde zorg. Omdat dit boek zich richt op de praktijk van de zorg, dus op het beslissen en handelen van zorgverleners en zorgvragers, begrijpen we de zorgpraktijk zowel van bovenaf, vanuit de theorie, als van onderaf, vanuit de praktijk. Uit de vele casussen blijkt dat er bij geslaagde zorg aandacht was ...
De Friese burgemeesterszoon Willem Augustijn van Donck wil maar één ding en dat is de liefde van zijn vader winnen. Alles wat hij doet blijkt verkeerd uit te pakken. Hij is onhandig met vrouwen en brengt zichzelf keer op keer in moeilijkheden. Om indruk te maken verdiept hij zich in een nieuw procédé voor het maken van suiker te maken en probeert hij deugdzaam te leven. Maar zijn inspanningen zijn vergeefs. Om uit te vinden waarom zijn vader hem afwijst zal hij zich in diens verleden moeten verdiepen. Daarbij roept hij de hulp in van de door zijn vader gehate maar geniale heer Bergsma. Maar Augustijn raakt al spoedig verstrikt in een web van leugens, chantage, liefdadigheid en waanbeelde...
The HLA FactsBook presents up-to-date and comprehensive information on the HLA genes in a manner that is accessible to both beginner and expert alike.

The traditional picture is that there is little information about Tongeren, the capital of the civitas Tungrorum in Roman times, from Late Antiquity onwards. In the last twenty years or so, very cautiously, voices have been raised to nuance the story of the general decline of Tongeren from the beginning of the fifth century. A recurring question is whether Tongeren remained inhabited and what its function might have been. A key site is the Roman basilica, the predecessor of an early medieval church. A key figure is the bishop, whose seat was moved to neighbouring Maastricht in the sixth century. Based on an extensive database, a picture of late Roman Tongeren is drawn, with its public and pr...
