Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From the mighty halls of ancient Alexandria to the coffered ceilings of the Morgan Library in New York, human beings have had a long, enraptured relationship with libraries. Like no other concept and like no other space, the collection of knowledge, learning, and imagination offers a sense of infinite possibility. It's the unrivaled realm of discovery, where every faded manuscript or mighty clothbound tome might reveal a provocative new idea, a far-flung fantasy, an ancient belief, a religious conviction, or a whole new way of being in the world.In this new photographic journey, Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries to reveal their architectural, historical, and imaginative wonder. Through great wooden doors, up spiraling staircases, and along exquisite, shelf-lined corridors, he leads us through outstanding private, public, educational, and monastic libraries, dating as far back as 766. Between them, these medieval, classical, baroque, rococo, and 19th-century institutions hold some of the most precious records of human thought and deed, inscribed and printed in manuscripts, volumes, papyrus scrolls, and incunabula. In each, Listri's poised images capture the library's unique atmosphere, as much as their most prized holdings and design details.Featured libraries include the papal collections of the Vatican Apostolic Library and the Trinity College Library, home to the Book of Kells and Book of Durrow. With meticulous descriptions accompanying each featured library, we learn not only of the libraries' astonishing holdings-from which highlights are illustrated-but also of their often lively, turbulent, or controversial pasts. Like the Franciscan monastery in Lima, Peru, with its horde of archival Inquisition documents.At once a bibliophile beauty pageant, an ode to knowledge, and an evocation of the particular magic of print, this compact edition of our best-selling XXL-title is above all a cultural-historical pilgrimage to the heart of our halls of learning, to the stories they tell, as much as those they gather in printed matter along polished shelves. Bibliophiles, rejoice! In this rapturous photographic journey, Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries to celebrate their architectural and historical wonder. From medieval to 19th-century, from private to monastic, this is a cultural-historical pilgrimage to the heart of our halls of learning and the stories they tell.

From the cover: Late Baroque, Rococo and the early Enlightenment were the formative spirits of the age during the reign of Maria Theresa, in which the cultural life of the court burgeoned into extraordinary bloom. Here the arts found a broad horizon of activity: ceremonies, feasts and costumes required a fitting artistic setting. Specific artistic genres evolved, made to serve courtly prestige and divertissements. Porcelain was then a new material and took on a pre-eminent status in this creativity. With its unique, gleaming surface, porcelain was an ideal medium for all objects which based their essential effect on material brilliance. And above all, the malleability of the material in developing new forms and types was predestined to express the graceful and delicate style of Rococo. Its specific surface effect, animated much more by painterly aspects than sculptural values, made porcelain the suitable medium for converting contemporary pictorial source works into three dimensions. Contemporary painting, copper engraving and figurines became the foil of a rapidly expanding production of porcelain figures, which reached its quantitative peak around 1760. Porcelain had by then already become the favoured material for small-scale sculpture of the eighteenth century, endowing this genre with an unprecedented intrinsic value. In the Rococo period, small-scale sculpture was now in fact preferred in porcelain and became an autonomous artistic genre of its own. Proving particularly successful were figures and groups reflecting the themes and circumstances of courtly life. The chosen period of 1740 to 1780 was the heyday of courtly banquets and ceremonial, providing rich sources of inspiration for the porcelain figures. The graphic recording of these events and occasions was decisively encouraged by Maria Theresa and her court. Commissions to depict court events were given to court artists and imperial institutions - the porcelain factory had been one of the latter since 1744. Ceremonies, feasts and costumes in the time of Maria Theresa became pictorial motifs. They provided the Viennese porcelain figures of this epoch with their historical and aesthetic foundations.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Ob vertäfelte Klosterbibliothek, Büchersaal einer altehrwürdigen Universität, berühmte Privatbibliothek oder die private Hausbibliothek, die die eigene Biografie abbildet - Büchersammlungen und Bibliotheken sind Wohlfühlorte, Oasen der Stille und zugleich überbordend vor Ideen, Möglichkeiten, Historien, alternativen Lebenswelten und unentdeckten Dingen. Sie bieten konzentrierter Arbeit, moderner Geisteswissenschaft und analytischem Denken Raum und sind doch auch Orte der Kontemplation, des Träumens und des Erinnerns. Auf dieser Fotoexpedition besucht Massimo Listri einige der ältesten und schönsten Bibliotheken der Welt, um deren architektonische, historische und fantasievolle Wunder zu enthüllen. Durch große Holztüren, über Wendeltreppen und entlang exquisiter, mit Regalen ausgestatteter Korridore führt er uns durch herausragende private, öffentliche, Bildungs- und Klosterbibliotheken, die bis ins Jahr 766 zurückreichen. Diese Institutionen aus dem Mittelalter, dem Klassizismus, dem Barock, dem Rokoko und dem 19. Jahrhundert beherbergen einige der wertvollsten Aufzeichnungen menschlichen Denkens und Handelns, die in Manuskripten, Bänden, Papyrusrollen und Inkunabeln niedergeschrieben und gedruckt sind. In jeder dieser Bibliotheken fangen Listris aussagekräftige Bilder die einzigartige Atmosphäre der Bibliothek ebenso ein wie die wertvollsten Bestände und Gestaltungsdetails. Zu den vorgestellten Bibliotheken gehören die päpstlichen Sammlungen der Vatikanischen Apostolischen Bibliothek und die Trinity College Library in Dublin, in der das Book of Kells und das Book of Durrow aufbewahrt werden. Die sorgfältigen Beschreibungen, die jede vorgestellte Bibliothek begleiten, informieren nicht nur über die erstaunlichen Bestände der Bibliotheken - aus denen einige Highlights abgebildet sind -, sondern auch über ihre oft bewegte, turbulente oder kontroverse Vergangenheit.
