Paperback, Nederlands, originele uitgeversomslag, 17,5x24,7 cm., 320 pp. ISBN 9789058673442. Symbolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series B : 32. De negentiende eeuw was een eeuw van vooruitgang en expansie, en daardoor ook van optimisme. Er leek geen beperking te zijn aan de mogelijkheden die de mens in zijn evolutie kon bereiken. Toch had de medaille ook een keerzijde en groeide de bezorgdheid over wat er in de evolutie zoal mis kon lopen. Het codewoord dat deze bezorgdheid zou domineren en ontsluiten, was 'degeneratie'. Artsen en antropologen, kunstenaars en psychologen, en vele anderen bogen zich vanaf 1860 over het fenomeen, ook in Belgie. 0 g.

Paperback, Nederlands, originele uitgeversomslag, 17.5x25 cm., 427 pp., geillustreerd in z/w en in kleur. ISBN 9789058670717. Symbolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series B : 19. Het intellectuele leven van de Nederlanden kende tijdens de regeerperiode van keizer Karel een uitzonderlijk hoogtepunt. De invloed van het humanisme was voelbaar in alle domeinen van kunst en wetenschap. De ontdekkingsreizen, de snelle technologische vooruitgang en de toegenomen materiele welvaart zorgden voor een ongezien optimisme bij geleerden over de mogelijkheden om de antieke kennis te restaureren en om de wereld te ordenen volgens kosmische beginselen. De meest diepgaande hervormingen vonden plaats in de geneeskunde en de botanie, maar ook de wiskunde, astronomie en cartografie getuigden van een groot dynamisme. Over deze uitermate boeiende evoluties liep in het najaar van 2000 de tentoonstelling Wereldwijs. Wetenschappers rond keizer Karel in het Stedelijk Museum Vander Kelen-Mertens te Leuven. Humanisme en natuurwetenschap, ambacht en astrologie, boekdrukkunst en censuur vinden er hun weerslag in meer dan tweehonderd kostbare objecten -- schilderijen, wandtapijten, wetenschappelijke instrumenten, manuscripten en zeldzame oude drukken. De tentoonstelling tekent een beeld van het wetenschappelijk leven in en om de Leuvense universiteit in de eerste helft van de zestiende eeuw en peilt naar de motieven van de geleerden die gestalte gaven aan de humanistische wetenschap. In de rijk geillustreerde catalogus van deze tentoonstelling De geleerde wereld van keizer Karel wordt elk van de tentoongestelde objecten uitvoerig beschreven en toegelicht door een team van specialisten. De notities brengen een hedendaagse kijk op de renaissance-wetenschap door nieuwe accenten te leggen op minder bekende onderwerpen zoals astrologie en occulte wetenschap, de instrumentmakerskunst, de informatienetwerken, en de materiele cultuur van het wetenschapsbedrijf. De catalogus zet aan tot een vernieuwende kijk op de uitzonderlijke rijke ideeenwereld op de drempel van de moderne tijd. 1210 g.
