Sprache: englisch || It is difficult to think of a subject in Bohemian and Central European history in the early modern age less popular and still today so little understood as that of alchemy associated with the reign of the Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612). The blame for this can by no means be laid solely at the door of the well-known film from the early 1950s, for it only took over the oversimplified picture of 'Rudolfine alchemy' as it was developed in Czech and German historiography in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. This picture mixed legends with facts that could be historically documented, and which were consequently and frequently interpreted incorrectly. It was not until the 1970s that the situation started to change, when a renewed interest in Mannerism and Rudolfine art led historians to examine other areas of Rudolfine culture, and therefore alchemy, too, which was a significant part of that culture. This interest was naturally accompanied by historians looking at alchemy itself in a different way, no longer seeing it simply as a predecessor of modern chemistry - and thus as a subject reserved for the field of history of science - and starting to study it as a complex and significant cultural-historical and social phenomenon connected with other disciplines, technologies, and areas of the life of society, including not only medicine, mining and metallurgy, but also religion, visual art, and the representation of the nobility. This publication deals both with activities that were directly supported by Emperor Rudolf II, and also those that developed in the broader social circle connected with the imperial court. This extended beyond the Czech lands to Austria and many parts of the Holy Roman Empire. The theme under consideration is primarily delimited by the period of the reign of Rudolf II, from 1576 to 1612, but for a proper understanding of the context it is also essential to refer to the development of alchemical research in Central Europe roughly from the beginning of the 16th century, and it is likewise important to follow its repercussions in the 17th century.

"Dimensions of Dialoguecelebrates the world-renowned Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer (born 1934), responsible for some of the most memorable and unique animated films ever realized, and who has strongly influenced filmmakers like Tim Burton and The Brothers Quay. This publication presents Svankmajer not only as a filmmaker but also as an outstanding fine artist, experimenter, poet and a militant surrealist. Through explorative and informative essays, scholars Bertrand Schmitt and Frantisek Dryje illuminate the various aspects of his output, including puppet theatre, Mannerism, Surrealism and his many collaborations with his wife, Eva Svankmajerova (1940-2005), a surrealist painter, filmmaker and ceramicist. The monograph, named after his 1982 film (noted for its brilliant display of "claymation") includes a number of reproductions of Svankmajer's art work, film stills, photographs from plays and a selection of documentary images from the life of this internationally respected and multitalented artist."

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. near to new.

Hardback. Condición: New. The German physician, alchemist, kabbalist, and theosopher Heinrich Khunrath (ca. 1560-1605) is one of the most remarkable figures in the intellectual history of the Renaissance. His work, combining text and images in a new way, is a fusion of the contemporary currents of thought in which alchemy went hand-in-hand with philosophy and Lutheran heterodox theology. As a follower of Paracelsus, Khunrath was in search of both the secrets of nature and the knowledge of God-the "theosophy". Books on Khunrath are rare, and the present study will appeal to scholars of the Renaissance, historians of science and alchemy, and early modernists in general.…

Condición: neu. 2 Bände, OKart., OSchuber, 1384 Seiten mit Abb., Bildbeilage, Namensregister, 17 x 25 cm, neu, originalverpackt. Sprache: tschechisch mit deutschem Resümee || An exceptionally important source for the history of the Czech lands in the early modern age (and one that has hitherto not been examined in detail) is the library of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol (1529-1595), who was Vice-Regent in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the years 1547-1563. The Archduke's library was most probably first established in Prague Castle. After 1567, when Ferdinand became ruler in Tyrol, the library was installed and further extended in Ambras chateau near Innsbruck. Later the contents of the library became scattered and the only sources that give us an idea of its original extent are an inventory of Ferdinand's estate from the year 1596 and an inventory of five hundred manuscripts that were transferred from Ambras to Vienna in 1665. * This collective monograph is the result of the grant project "Research into the Library of Ferdinand of Tyrol: Cultural History and Art History Aspects" (part of the "Support for Targeted Research Projects" programme of the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, no. 1QS800330501), which operated in 2005-2008. The monograph consists of two volumes. The first one contains descriptive and analytical texts devoted to the thematic groups represented in the library. A separate chapter deals with the manuscripts kept in the library among the printed works and in the Kunstkammer. Other texts are devoted to the chronological, geographical, and linguistic provenance of the printed works, and to the works dedicated to the owner of the library. The monograph culminates in a chapter devoted to Ferdinand's library in the context of 16th-century Bohemian and Austrian libraries. The second volume is a catalogue containing all the identified data and descriptions of the individual printed and manuscript works. Both volumes are supplemented by a pictorial appendix. Particularly in the case of the second volume, this appendix considerably enhances the documentary aspect of the publication because of its size. Book Language/s: Czech.…
