Emblems in the Free Imperial City
Civic virtues were central to early modern Nürnberg’s visual culture. These essays explore Nürnberg as a location from which to study the intersection of art and power. The imperial city was awash in emblems, and they informed most aspects of everyday life. The intent of this volume is to focus new attention on the town hall emblems, while simultaneously expanding the purview of emblem studies, moving from strict iconological approaches to collaborations across methodologies and disciplines.

Building Magic
This book redresses popular interpretations of concealed objects, enigmatically discovered within the fabric of post-medieval buildings. A wide variety of objects have been found up chimneybreasts, bricked up in walls, and concealed within recesses: old shoes, mummified cats, horse skulls, pierced hearts, to name only some. The most common approach to these finds is to apply a one-size-fits-all analysis and label them survivals and apotropaic (evil-averting) devices. This book reconsiders such interpretations, exploring the invention and reinvention of traditions regarding building magic. The title Building Magic therefore refers to more than practices that alter the fabric of buildings, but also to processes of building magic into our interpretations of the enigmatic material evidence and into our engagements with the buildings we inhabit and frequent.
Emblems and Impact Volume II
The art of the emblem is a pan-European phenomenon which developed in Western and Central Europe in the early modern period. It adopted meanings and motifs from Antiquity and the Middle Ages as part of a general humanistic impulse. Technological developments in printing that permitted the combination of letterpress with woodblock, and later copperplate, images, ensured that the emblem spread rapidly by way of printed collections. With time, emblematic ideas moved beyond Europe, conveying their insights and wisdom in the compact form of the book. These same books came to influence artists and designers working in the decoration of buildings, furniture, and household items, so that emblems ent...

Les médailles de Louis XIV et leur livre
L'histoire métallique de Louis XIV, ce sont des médailles et c'est un livre publié en 1702 par la dizaine de membres de la Petite Académie, dont les deux historiographes royaux Racine et Boileau. Des savants français, anglo-saxons, italiens et allemands étudient ici cette double histoire royale, ses principes de composition, depuis les premières créations jusqu’à la poétique de l’histoire, en passant par les modèles antiques; ses thématiques, que ce soient les interventions militaires, les ports maritimes ou la mort du roi; sa diffusion, vers les pays proches (Italie, Genève, Lorraine) ou lointains (Siam, Perse, Afrique, Canada); ses imitations, parodies et parallèles, dans la Rome papale comme dans l’Europe du nord. L’analyse a été portée jusqu’aux médailles de Louis XVIII.
