Brill Tibetan Printing: Comparison, Continuities, and Change
Book SynopsisIn Tibetan Printing: Comparisons, Continuities and Change the editors publish the results of the workshop “Printing as an Agent of Change in Tibet and beyond” held at Pembroke College, Cambridge, in November 2013. This is the first study of the social and cultural history of Tibetan book technology that takes materials, living traditions and cross-cultural comparisons into consideration. Bringing together leading experts from different disciplines, it discusses the introduction of printing in Tibetan societies in the context of Asian book cultures with an eye to the questions raised by the study of the European history of printing. This title is available online in its entirety in Open Access. Contributors are: Tim Barrett, Alessandro Boesi, Peter Burke, Michela Clemente, Hildegard Diemberger, Dorje Gyeltsen, Franz-Karl Ehrhard, Helmut Eimer, Johan Elverskog, Camillo Formigatti, Imre Galambos, Agnieszka Helman-Wazny, Tomasz Wazny, Sherab Sangpo Kawa, Peter Kornicki, Leonard van der Kuijp, Stefan Larsson, Ben Nourse, Anuradha Pallipurath, Porong Dawa, Paola Ricciardi, Tsering Dawa Sharshon, Sam van Schaik, Cristina Scherrer-Schaub, Marta Sernesi, Pasang Wangdu.Trade Review"For me, the value of this book lies in the connections that it draws between the materiality of the book – its physical make-up and the labor of production – and the sociopolitical and historical impact of the spread and dissemination of the knowledge contained within the books. To understand how this impact plays out in the telescoping contexts of Asia and then Tibet is key to a proper understanding of the region's intellectual and religious history, and the editors are to be congratulated on their innovative and vital contribution to this history."

Brill Networked Nation: Mapping German Cities in Sebastian Münster’s 'Cosmographia'
Book SynopsisIn Networked Nation: Mapping German Cities in Sebastian Münster’s 'Cosmographia', Jasper van Putten examines the groundbreaking woodcut city views in the German humanist Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia. This description of the world, published in Basel from 1544 to 1628, glorified the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and engendered the city book genre. Van Putten argues that Münster’s network of city view makers and contributors—from German princes and artists to Swiss woodcutters, draftsmen, and printers—expressed their local and national cultural identities in the views. The Cosmographia, and the city books it inspired, offer insights into the development of German and Swiss identity from 1550 to Switzerland’s independence from the empire in 1648.Trade Review"This book is a significant, original, and beautifully executed contribution to the study of Renaissance culture in the German lands. In its meticulous reconstruction of Münster’s networks, the milieux and ambitions of the artists who worked on the city views, and the fate of city views across different texts and multiple editions, it brings together scholarship on humanism, publishing, dynastic rivalries, Swiss independence, and penmanship (among other things) into a legible set of relationships. This research then forms the basis for impressive and persuasive analyses of the city views themselves, amply demonstrating the case for their importance in identity formation and representation." Christine R. Johnson, Washington University, St. Louis "Jasper van Putten's fine book should reach a wide audience of historians, in particular anyone with an interest in cultural geography and the increasingly popular topic of the history of maps and knowledge. Van Putten’s clear and logical text is deeply researched throughout and provides strong analysis about the cultural significance of city views as portraits, often linked to a regional ruler and to civic identity, particularly for imperial cities."

Brill Interactive and Sculptural Printmaking in the Renaissance
Book SynopsisSuzanne Karr Schmidt's Interactive and Sculptural Printmaking in the Renaissance tells the story of a hands-on genre of prints: how innovative paper engineering redefined the relationship of early modern viewers to art, humanism, and science. Interactive and sculptural prints pervaded the European reading market of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Single sheets and book illustrations featured movable flaps and dials, and functioned as kits to build three-dimensional scientific instruments. These hybrid constructions—part text, part image, and part sculpture—engaged readers; so did the polemical, satirical, and, occasionally, erotic content. By manipulating dials and flaps, or building and using the instruments, viewers learned to think through images as well as words, interacting visually with desires, social critique, and knowledge itself.Trade Review“This book is a masterclass in how to find odd things, make sense of them and tell their story in order to reinterpret the historical record. […] Although Karr Schmidt has not gone as far as tasting Renaissance prints, her deep understanding of personal engagements with these objects rewrites standard assumptions about early modern print culture. The book is generously illustrated with colour images. It goes far beyond most publications by showing artefacts in different states, illustrating how an image can change, from its closed to open form, from male to female or devotional to obscene. It offers side-by-side comparisons of related interactive works in other media, from ivory carvings to monumental furniture, also in their different states. […] This book constructs a wholly new approach to the history of printed material, one that begins with the cutting, sewing and tactile reading of this hardback volume itself.” Elizabeth Savage, University of London. In: The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 160 (November 2018), pp. 980–981. “This is the cutting edge of a thriving scholarship on prints as a versatile and dynamic art form. It would be of interest to historians interested in prints, art, science, medicine, religion and culture.” Sachiko Kusukawa, Trinity College, Cambridge. In: Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews, March 2019. “extremely well-researched […] heavily illustrated […] the book makes a substantial contribution to current development in print scholarship by foregrounding the materiality and actual use of prints.” Ashley D. West, Temple University. In: Print Quarterly 36.3 (2019). “fascinating work […] it breaks new ground […] an important contribution to the history of the book” Sheila McTighe, Courtauld Institute of Art. In: The English Historical Review, Vol. 134, Issue 569 (August 2019), pp. 987–989. “authoritative and beautifully illustrated […]. With its meticulous reconstruction of the processes of printing and its close readings of the multitude of ways in which readers procured knowledge, this study will become a necessary point of reference for all scholars working on early modern religious and scientific print culture.” Pollie Bromilow, University of Liverpool. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies 6.3 (August 2019), pp. 534–537. “Schmidt’s volume delves into the subject ambitiously, turning long overdue attention to the contrivance of the medium [of interactive prints]. … the cases she presents are stimulating and might well inspire scholars to work out other facets of these artifacts and their historical contexts.” Charley Ladee, University of Utrecht. In: Nuncius 34.1 (February 2019), pp. 198-200. “innovative […] the discussions of the sensory aspects of flaying, disrobing, and penetrating into other realms of knowledge adds a new dimension to the significance of the ownership and reception of printed images in early modern Europe.” Evelyn Lincoln, Brown University.

Brill Expressionism and Poster Design in Germany 1905–1922: Between Spirit and Commerce
Book SynopsisIn Expressionism and Poster Design in Germany 1905–1925, Kathleen Chapman re-defines Expressionism by situating it in relation to the most common type of picture in public space during the Wilhelmine twentieth century, the commercial poster. Focusing equally on visual material and contemporaneous debates surrounding art, posters, and the image in general, this study reveals that conceptions of a “modern” image were characterized not so much by style or mode of production and distribution, but by a visual rhetoric designed to communicate more directly than words. As instances of such rhetoric, Expressionist art and posters emerge as equally significant examples of this modern image, demonstrating the interconnectedness of the aesthetic, the utilitarian, and the commercial in European modernism.Trade Review“This book is essential reading for all scholars on modern German art.” Christian Weikop, University of Edinburgh. In: Print Quarterly, Vol. 39, No. 4 (December 2022), pp. 471–474.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Figures Introduction: Expressionism between Spirit and Commerce 1 Illustration, Abstraction, Advertising: Wilhelm Worringer and the Continuities of German Art 2 Hieroglyphic Appeal: The Visual Rhetoric of the German Object Poster, Werkbund Style, and Expressionist Art 3 Promoting Expressionism before Expressionism: Künstlergruppe Brücke and Theories of the Modern Image before World War I 4 From War to Revolution, from Propaganda to Art: Expressionism and Posters of the Revolutionary Period 5 Expressionism after Expressionism: “Dead” Expressionism and Theories of the Modern Image after World War I Conclusion: Expressionism as Buzzword Copyright of Figures Bibliography

Brill Literature as Document: Generic Boundaries in 1930s Western Literature
Book SynopsisLiterature as Document considers the relationship between documents and literary texts in Western Literature of the 1930s. More specifically, the volume deals with the notion of the “document” and its multifaceted and complex connections to literary “texts” and attempts to provide answers to the problematic nature of that relationship. In an effort to determine a possible theoretical definition, many different disciplines have been taken into account, as well as individual case studies. In order to observe dynamics and trends, the idea for this investigation was to look at literature, taking its practices, its factual-looking and concrete applications, as a point of departure – that is to say, then, starting from the literary object itself.Trade Review“Literature as Document dimostra quanto il testo letterario sia centrale nella definizione del nostro rapporto col passato, e quanto il suo ruolo di documento sia flessibile e aperto a nuove tipologie di indagini per le quali i saggi contenuti nel libro già provvedono a gettare solide basi.” - Simone Marsi, Università di Parma, IT in Between, Vol. 11 2021 pp. 376-381 "Insgesamt bietet der Band interessante und gut durchdachte Studien zu sowohl etablierten, als auch unbekannten Werken der 1930er Jahre." - Isabelle Geising, Universität des Saarlandes (Germany), in: Literaturwissenschaftliches Jahrbuch Vol.61 2020 pp. 378-380 "In conclusione, Literature as Document dimostra quanto il testo letterario sia centrale nella definizione del nostro rapporto col passato, e quanto il suo ruolo di documento sia flessibile e aperto a nuove tipologie di indagini per le quali i saggi contenuti nel libro già provvedono a gettare solide basi." - Simone Marsi, l’Università di Parma (Italy), in Between Vol. XI.22 2021 pp. 376-381 "Doordat alle auteurs in deze bundel een vergelijkbare methodologie hanteren, namelijk tekstanalyse, krijgt de lezer gaandeweg oog voor allerlei dwarsverbanden tussen literaire teksten en documenten die eerder verborgen bleven. Het zijn allemaal doorwrochte, intelligent geschreven studies die het spectrum van onderzoek over deze periode op een zinvolle wijze verbreden en verdiepen door aandacht te besteden aan de verhouding tussen fictie en werkelijkheid. De studies werpen bovendien een nieuwe blik op de periode van het modernisme, omdat de gekende technieken van collage en montage in deze bundel ook met andere informatiedragers dan tekst worden verbonden, zoals met beeld en geluid. De grootste winst van deze bundel is wel dat deze verrassende invalshoeken aanzetten tot het lezen en herlezen van de besproken werken." - Janneke Weijermars, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (Netherlands), in: Tijdschrift voor Nederlandse Taal- en Letterkunde Vol. 136.1 2020Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Notes on Contributors Introduction: Positions and Roles of Literary “Documents”: Textual Games and the Creation of Hybrids Sarah Bonciarelli, Anne Reverseau and Carmen Van den Bergh PART 1 Sketching the Document 1 The Difference between “Document” and “Monument” Remo Ceserani 2 A Re-evaluation of Documentary Tendencies in Neue Sachlichkeit Gunther Martens and Thijs Festjens PART 2 Revisiting the Cornerstones 3 Characters as Social Document in Modernist Collective Novels: the Case of Manhattan Transfer Antonio Bibbò 4 Documenting Berlin in the Twenties: War Neurosis and Inflation in Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz Stijn De Cauwer and Sven Fabré 5 Building up a “Glasshouse” in Nadja: Documenting the Surrealist Way of Life Nadja Cohen PART 3 Experimental Writings 6 The “Essence of Things” and Their Decomposition: the Use of Montage in Dino Terra’s Metamorfosi Achille Castaldo 7 Tardy Presents: Embodied Agency in the “Documental” Poetry of Benjamin Péret and Antonio Porchia Piet Devos and Gys-Walt Van Egdom PART 4 Generic Transfers 8 “Madrid está cerca”: Spanish Civil War Radio Poetry Robin Vogelzang 9 “Documentary” Aspects in Umberto Barbaro’s Literary and Cinematographic Practice Fabio Andreazza 10 Plot Placement and Literary Plot: How Economic Context Becomes Part of Literature Toni Marino

Brill Sculpture in Print, 1480–1600
Book SynopsisSculpture in Print, 1480–1600 is the first in-depth study dedicated to the intriguing history of the translation of statues and reliefs into print. The multitude of engravings, woodcuts and etchings show a highly creative handling of the ‘original’ antique or contemporary work of art. The essays in this volume reflect these various approaches to and challenges of translating sculpture in print. They analyze foremost the beginnings of the phenomenon in Italian and Northern Renaissance prints and they highlight by means of case studies amongst many other topics the interrelated terminology between sculpture and print, lost models in print, the inventive handling of fragments, as well as the transformation of statues into narrative contexts.Trade Review“This book provides a wonderful introduction to the topic in all its breadth.” Joris van Gastel, University of Zurich.

Brill Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands: An Iconological Analysis of the Relationships between Art, Science and Power
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2023 Menno Hertzberger Encouragement Prize (Book History) In Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands, Gwendoline de Mûelenaere offers an account of the practice of producing illustrated thesis prints in the seventeenth-century Southern Low Countries. She argues that the evolution of the thesis print genre gave rise to the creation of a specific visual language combining efficiently various figurative registers of a historical and symbolic nature. The book offers a reflection on the representation of knowledge and its public recognition in the context of academic defenses. Early Modern Thesis Prints makes a timely contribution to our understanding of early modern print culture and more specifically to the expanding field of study concerned with the role of visual materials in early modern thought.Table of ContentsAbbreviations Introduction 1 Development of the Production of Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands A Teaching in the Spanish Netherlands B Development of Thesis Broadsides during the Seventeenth Century C The Antwerp Context in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century D Other Productions in the Southern Low Countries E Print Run, Distribution, and Conservation of Thesis Prints 2 The Manufacture of the Thesis Engraving A The Broadsheet Medium: Complementarity of Text and Image B Status of the Image: From Knowledge Organization to Message Coding C The Posters, “Ephemera”?

Brill Gateways to the Book: Frontispieces and Title Pages in Early Modern Europe
Book SynopsisGateways to the Book investigates the complex image–text relationships between frontispieces and illustrated title pages on the one hand and texts on the other, in European books published between 1500 and 1800. Although interest in this broad field of research has increased in the past decades, many varieties of title pages and a great deal of printers and books remain as yet unstudied. The fifteen essays collected in this volume tackle this field with a great variety of academic approaches, asking how the images can be interpreted, how the texts and contexts shape their interpretation, and how they in turn shape the understanding of the text.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Notes on the Editors Notes on the Contributors 1 Gateways to the Books: Early Modern Frontispieces – Introduction Gitta Bertram, Nils Büttner and Claus Zittel PART 1: The Culture of the Frontispiece 2 Considerations on the History and the Analysis of Illustrated Title Pages Gitta Bertram 3 Minerva in the Printshop: Publisher’s Advertising in Frontispieces and the Media Presence of Early Modern Printer-Publishers Lea Hagedorn 4 The Frontispiece Portrait and Its Critics: Visual and Verbal Tactics for Undermining the Social Productivity of Printed Portraits in Early Modern Scholarly Culture Hole Rößler PART 2: The Frontispiece between Art and Science 5 The Poetological Frontispiece in 17th-Century German Poetry Claus Zittel 6 Lady Music, Pythagoras, Apollo & Co.: Frontispieces and Title Woodcuts in Music Theory Prints and Musical Textbooks around 1500 Fabian Kolb 7 Visualising the Constitution of Art: Frontispieces in “Kunstliteratur” in the Early Modern Period Constanze Keilholz 8 When Mars Meets Euclid: The Relationship between War and Mathematical Sciences in Frontispieces of Fortification Treatises Delphine Schreuder 9 Travels towards Humankind’s Salvation, Travels through Nature Enlightened by Science: Frontispieces on Africa and the Levant, 17th–18th Centuries Cornel Zwierlein PART 3: Case Studies 10 A Moralistic Journey: The Tabula Cebes as an Architectural and Spatial Allegory in Sixteenth-Century Basel Miranda L.
