Le vitrail et les traités du Moyen Âge à nos jours
"De tous temps les artistes ont cherché à transmettre leurs réflexions théoriques et leurs savoir-faire. Les traités en sont la forme la plus aboutie, certainement la plus durable. Si les grands ouvrages de Vitruve, d'Alberti ou de Serlio jalonnent l'histoire des arts, les travaux de moindre portée, manuels pratiques, livres de recettes composent une littérature souvent négligée. Les historiens du vitrail ont entrepris avec succès l'étude de ces ouvrages. En 2006, le XXIIIe colloque international du Corpus Vitrearum a pour la première fois permis de confronter les connaissances, les méthodes et les conclusions des chercheurs. La prise en compte de l'ensemble des ouvrages que l'on peut désigner par le mot 'traité' a permis à elle seule de nombreuses découvertes et en a fait des sources désormais incontournables. Elles se prêtent à des analyses aussi diverses que stimulantes, commentaires historiques et critiques, analyses expérimentales des données techniques etc. Une voie est ainsi ouverte vers une connaissance plus complète du vitrail et vers une évaluation nouvelle de sa place parmi les autres arts."--P. 4 of cover.
Openness in Medieval Europe
This volume challenges the persistent association of the Middle Ages with closure and fixity. Bringing together a range of disciplines and perspectives, it identifies and uncovers forms of openness which are often obscured by modern assumptions, and demonstrates how they coexist with, or even depend upon, enclosure and containment in paradoxical and unexpected ways. Explored through notions such as porosity, vulnerability, exposure, unfinishedness, and inclusivity, openness turns out to permeate medieval culture, unsettling boundaries, binaries, and clear-cut distinctions.

Jaarboek voor middeleeuwse geschiedenis 14 (2011)
In dit 'Jaarboek' worden diverse interessante thema's uit de middeleeuwse geschiedenis van de Nederlanden behandeld. Nicolas Mazeure onderzoekt de omgang van monnik Folcuin met de archivalia van de Vlaamse abdij van Sint-Bertijns. J.A. (Hans) Mol biedt een nieuwe kijk op de eind elfde eeuw op gang gekomen veenontginningen in het huidige Noordwest-Overijssel en Zuid-Friesland. Aan de hand van de door de dertiendeeeuwse Vlaams-Henegouwse gravin Johanna van Constantinopel uitgevaardigde oorkonden belicht Els De Paermentier het bestuur en de machtsuitoefening door vrouwen. Jaap van Moolenbroek ontrafelt het ontstaan van de mythe rond de inname van Damietta door Haarlemse kruisvaarders. Ellen Wurtzel laat zien hoe de stedelijke verdedigingswerken in het vijftiende- en zestiende-eeuwse Lille in toenemende mate werden beschouwd als collectief bezit. Truus van Bueren, Kim Ragetli en Arnoud-Jan Bijsterveld belichten de mogelijkheden en uitdagingen van het brede onderzoeksterrein van middeleeuwse 'memoria', in het bijzonder van het Utrechtse MeMo-project.
The Routledge History of Women in Early Modern Europe
The Routledge History of Women in Early Modern Europe is a comprehensive and ground-breaking survey of the lives of women in early-modern Europe between 1450 and 1750. Covering a period of dramatic political and cultural change, the book challenges the current contours and chronologies of European history by observing them through the lens of female experience. The collaborative research of this book covers four themes: the affective world; practical knowledge for life; politics and religion; arts, science and humanities. These themes are interwoven through the chapters, which encompass all areas of women’s lives: sexuality, emotions, health and wellbeing, educational attainment, litigatio...
