The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium

Thousands of intact ceramic bowls and plates as well as fragments made in the medieval Byzantine empire survive to this day. Decorated with figural and non-figural imagery applied in a variety of techniques and adorned with colourful paints and glazes the vessels can tell us much about those who owned them and those who looked at them. In addition to innumerable ceramic vessels a handful of precious metal bowls and plates survive from the period. Together these objects make up the art of dining in medieval Byzantium. This art of dining was effervescent at turns irreverent and deadly serious visually stunning and fun. It is suggestive of ways in which those viewing the objects used a quotidian and biologically necessary (f)act – that of eating – to reflect on their lives and deaths their aspirations and their realities. This book examines the ceramic and metal vessels in terms of the information offered on the foods eaten the foods desired and their status; the spectacle of the banquet; the relationship between word and image in medieval Byzantium; the dangers of taste; the emergence of new moral and social ideals; and the use of dining as a tool in constructing and enforcing hierarchy. This book is of appeal to scholarly and non-scholarly audiences interested in the art and material culture of the medieval period and in the social history of food and eating.

History of Cartography

History of Cartography

This illustrated work is intended to acquaint readers with the early maps produced in both Europe and the rest of the world and to tell us something of their development their makers and printers their varieties and characteristics. The authors' chief concern is with the appearance of maps: they exclude any examination of their content or of scientific methods of mapmaking. This book ends in the second half of the eighteenth century when craftsmanship was superseded by specialized science and the machine. As a history of the evolution of the early map it is a stunning work of art and science. This expanded second edition of Bagrow and Skelton's History of Cartography marks the reappearance of this seminal work after a hiatus of nearly a half century. As a reprint project undertaken many years after the book last appeared finding suitable materials to work from proved to be no easy task. Because of the wealth of monochrome and color plates the book could only be properly reproduced using the original materials. Ultimately the authors were able to obtain materials from the original printer Scotchprints or contact films made directly from original plates thus allowing the work to preserve the beauty and clarity of the illustrations. Old maps collated with other materials help us to elucidate the course of human history. It was not until the eighteenth century however that maps were gradually stripped of their artistic decoration and transformed into plain specialist sources of information based upon measurement. Maps are objects of historical artistic and cultural significance and thus collecting them seems to need no justification simply enjoyment.

Eighteenth-Century Engravings and Visual History in Britain

Eighteenth-Century Engravings and Visual History in Britain

Extending the scholarly discussion of visual history this book examines eighteenth-century engraved book illustrations in order to outline the genealogy of the modern visualisation of the past in Britain. This study is based on a body of more than a hundred engraved historical plates designed in the second half of the eighteenth century in Britain and published in more than a dozen pictorial histories. Focusing on these previously unstudied engravings this work contributes to the study of eighteenth-century visual culture and is informed by current interdisciplinary approaches at the intersection of visual and book studies. Eighteenth-Century Engravings and Visual History in Britain is about the urge to envision the past and about the establishment of the new relationship between visual media visuality and history in eighteenth-century Britain. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history British history book studies and visual culture.

Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period

Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the linguistic situation in Europe was one of remarkable fluidity. Latin the great scholarly lingua franca of the medieval period was beginning to crack as the tectonic plates shifted beneath it but the vernaculars had not yet crystallized into the national languages that they would later become and multilingualism was rife. Meanwhile elsewhere in the world languages were coming into contact with an intensity that they had never had before influencing each other and throwing up all manner of hybrids and pidgins as peoples tried to communicate using the semiotic resources they had available. Of interest to linguists literary scholars and historians amongst others this interdisciplinary volume explores the linguistic dynamics operating in Europe and beyond in the crucial centuries between 1400 and 1800. Assuming a state of individual societal and functional multilingualism when codeswitching was the norm and languages themselves were fluid unbounded and porous it explores the shifting relationships that existed between various tongues in different geographical contexts as well as some of the myths and theories that arose to make sense of them. | Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period

Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems‏

Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems‏

Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems provides a mechanical engineering-based analysis of wave dispersion response in various structures created from different materials. Looking at materials including strengthened nanocomposites functionally graded materials metal foams and anisotropic materials it uses analytical solution methods to solve typical problems in the framework of a micromechanics approach. Nanocomposites are a novel type of composite materials fabricated by dispersing nanosized reinforcements in a matrix to combine the material properties of the matrix with the improved properties of nanosized elements. This book enables readers to learn about the theory and practical applications of this rapidly evolving field. Practically minded the book investigates the impact of employing various nanofillers and demonstrates how this augments stiffness within the nanocomposite. Topics covered include agglomeration and waviness of nanofillers porosity elastic mediums fluid flow and the impact of the thermal environment on a propagated wave. Using mathematical formulations to solve wave dispersion characteristics of structures including beams plates and shells the book obtains equations of structures using first- and higher-order shear deformation theories. This book will be of interest to professional engineers working in material and mechanical engineering nanocomposites nanofillers and micromechanics. It will also be of interest to students in these fields. | Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems‏
