The Nostra Senora da Adjuda had sailed 14000 miles from the Indian kingdom Gujarat. Her mission, to deliver a rhinoceros to the Pope. 'The Pope's Rhinoceros' tells the stories which culminate in this bizarre incident. Ranging from the Baltic Sea to a flyblown colony in India, from a tribe hidden in the African rain forest to atrocities committed in an obscure town in Tuscany, Norfolk's brilliant novel holds up the true history of the rhinoceros as a mirror to the fantasies and obsessions of the Renaissance.

We don't know when he was born or when he died. We know nothing of his career before he became Govenor of Judea, and nothing of what happened to him after he was recalled by Tiberius. Some say he came from Rome, others from Spain or Germany. Everyone, from the evangelists to the writers of the medieval mystery plays, has his own Pilate, each symbolic of something, each a projection of his own ideas and anxieties. This extraordinary book is all about our Pilates real half real and invented. Some are familiar, some surprising. They have depths and contrasts that are unexpected. They do remarkable things. Among these surprises, perhaps, are the glimpses we get of a man actually walking on a marble floor in Caesarea, feeling his shoes pinch, clicking his fingers for a slave, while the clouds of lasting infamy gather over his head.

A long, straight road runs between sleeping fields to the little village of Lodeshill and on it two cars lie wrecked and ravished, violence gathered about them in the silent air. One wheel, upturned, still spins. Howard and Kitty have recently moved to Lodeshill after a life spent in London. Now, their marriage is wordlessly falling apart. Custom car enthusiast Jamie has lived in the village for all of his nineteen years and dreams of leaving it behind, while Jack, a vagrant farm worker and mystic in flight from a bail hostel, arrives in the village on foot one spring morning, bringing change. All four of them are struggling to find a life in the modern countryside, all are trying to find ways to belong. Building to an extraordinary climax over the course of one spring month 'At Hawthorn Time' is both a clear eyed picture of rural Britain, and a heartbreaking exploration of love, land and loss. A future classic.

In most of the world humankind has created enormous political frameworks, whether ancient (such as China) or modern (such as the United States). Sprawling empires, kingdoms or republics appear to be the norm. By contrast Europe has remained stubbornly chaotic and fractured into often amazingly tiny pieces, with each serious attempt to unify the continent (by Charles V, Napoleon and Hitler) thwarted. In this ambitious and exciting new book, Brendan Simms tells the story of Europe's constantly shifting geopolitics and the peculiar circumstances that have made it both so impossible to dominate, but also so dynamic and ferocious. It is the story of a group of highly competitive and mutually suspicious dynasties, but also of a continent uniquely prone to interference from 'semi detached' elements, such as Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Britain and (just as centrally to Simms' argument) the United States.

Original woodcut, printed from four woodblocks on laid paper. 2nd state probaly around 1550 printed This is the so-called copy of the large calvary (Der große Berliner Kalvarienberg), a very rare and early woodcut, which is printed from four woodcut blocks. This much discussed large woodcut exists only in eight copies all in public institutions. The original version of it is only known in two copies: in Berlin (Kupferstichkabinett) and in London (British Library). With our example now eleven woodcuts of the large calvary are known. We have compared our copy with the example in the Berliner Kupferstichkabinett and learned that our example must be slightly earlier printed then the one in Berlin. This could be defined clearly by comparing the eruptions in the wood. But none of these 8 known copies do have as our copy an additional monogram: ?HS" in the lower right side. The monogram is either cut into the woodblock or was stamped into that gap. This monogram in our woodcut not mentioned in any bibliography or descriptive text about the large calvary. It is looking very similar to the monograms, which Hans Schäufelein was using, who did his apprenticeship in Dürer's worksshop. There is also a ?Hans Schwarz" known, the 2nd husband of Hans Schäufelein's widow. Many questions are still open on the authorship of the large calvary, maybe the work could also be attributed to Hans Schäufellein. The authorship and attribution to Albrecht Dürer and the dating of this woodcut is still uncertain, although the woodcut shows several Dürerian motifs, but many extraneous elements speak against an undivided authorship. The design of the woodcut can be dated to the time before Albrecht Dürer's first stay in Venice. Provenance: The woodcut was acquired in the mid 1980's and it was kept in a private collection. The woodcut was backed on thick paper. This was lately perfect removed and we discovered now an old collector's stamp on the reverse in the lower left corner. The laid paper does not show any watermark. We were also able to identify the collector's stamp and can thus close a small gap in the origin story of the woodcut. Lugt 1008 (H.

183 x 133 mm. (7 1/8 x 5 1/4"). WITH A FULL-PAGE MINIATURE DEPICTING THE HARROWING OF HELL, featuring a naked Adam and Eve on the left, and on the right Christ bending down to rescue John the Baptist, the figures framed by a stone archway supporting a hairy creature who aims the point of a spear directly at Adam and Eve, the miniature in a thin brown frame with gilt lines, surrounded on two sides by the words "VERBUM DOMINI MANET IN ETERNUM" in gilt, all framed in gray and red washes with double rules of black and gilt. Light soiling to frame, a little flaking to the gray border and a couple of small scuffs and smudges elsewhere, verso with spotting, but the miniature vibrant and well preserved with only very trivial imperfections. A close copy of an early 16th century engraving by Albrecht Dürer, this powerful miniature depicting the Harrowing of Hell is an intriguing artifact that ties together manuscript art, print culture, and the Reformation. The image depicts an apocryphal tale in the Gospel of Nicodemus in which Christ, following his death but before his Resurrection, descends into Limbo in order to save righteous souls who had passed away before him (particularly figures from the Old Testament). Christ appears here in pale pink robes carrying a long staff with a cross and banner adorning the top. Having just brought down the gates of Hell, he stoops to rescue John the Baptist (here dressed in furs) from its depths. A naked Adam and Eve, covering their loins, stand at the left of the composition--Adam now a gray-bearded old man as a reflection of sin and mortality, but Eve still as she was at the Expulsion, in keeping with the period's inclination to retain the classically idealized youthful feminine form. Above them is a stone arch upon which a dog-like demon perches stealthily, aiming a spear directly at the oblivious couple. Another demon snaps its jaws at the feet of Christ, and we can see a lick of flames below the broken gate as more captive souls clamor to escape. The painting is skillfully done, showing the artist's facility with anatomy, proportion, and foreshortening. The bodies of Adam and Eve are particularly excellent, with lovely skin tones and convincing molding. The composition is clearly based on an engraving by Dürer published in 1513 as part of a major series of 16 images known as the "Engraved Passion." In translating a black & white print into a full-color painting, the artist here dispensed with a few details seen in Dürer's work, such as the shadowy figure behind Adam and Eve, and the stigmata on Christ's hand; however, the overall composition deviates little from the original, suggesting that the artist may have been working from an actual engraving. Although this leaf contains just a few words in the form of a border inscription--"Verbum Domini manet eternum" ("the Word of the Lord endures forever")--they are monumentally important. This line from Isaiah 40:8 and 1 Peter 1:25 became the motto of the Lutheran Reformation, appearing on art, clothing, coins, and even armor of the 16th century. The Schmalkaldic League, an influential group of allied Lutheran principalities in the Holy Roman Empire at the time, also adopted it as their motto. Given the dominance of print materials during the Reformation period, our hand-painted miniature--possibly produced as a frontispiece--must have been a very special commission. It is also an object that is prime for further study, touching on aspects of book production, religious art, and the transmission of images and ideas in the early modern period.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 6 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches (size of plaque). 10 x 7 ½ inches (size with frame). mounted in an antique wooden frame c1840 on a pine backing board (a number of minor surface blemishes, crack of not more than ½ inch in top near centre & 2 small cracks of not more than ½ inch in hat). The subject, Ulrich Varnbüler [1474-1545], was a German humanist and public official. In 1521 he was appointed chancellor to the Reichsregiment [1521-30] which was to exercise imperial powers in Germany in the absence of Charles V. With the Reichsregiment he first resided in Nuremberg where his friend Albrecht Dürer sketched his portrait for a woodcut which was executed in 1522 and upon which this ivory is based. The text in the cartouche of the woodcut reads in translation: "Through this picture, Albrecht Dürer from Nuremberg would like to recognize Ulrich, the secretary and chief clerk of the Roman imperial government, with the surname Varnbüler, whom he loves immensely." Varnbüler was also friends with Erasmus and translated into German the latter s adage Dulce bellum inexpertis (Basel: 1519). Varnbüler was instrumental in obtaining in the name of the emperor protective privilege against pirated editions for works published by Johan Froben and Andreas Cratander. A number of works were dedicated to him by Cratander, Willibald Pirckheimer and Peter (II) Schöffer. See P.G.Bietenholz, Contemporaries of Erasmus , 1987, Vol. III p. 377.

Add to basket46,5 x 35,5 cm.Not dated, not signed, early XVII century.Painted on a thin wooden panel, consisting of two parts, with a small indentation at the top. The original engraving was made in 1526 in Rotterdam by the Germain painter Albrecht Dürer, 1471-1528, and is now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A Roman Catholic reformer and one the most important Netherlandish humanists, Erasmus of Rotterdam held a deep admiration for Albrecht Dürer, whom he praised in a eulogy as the greatest of graphic artists: "And is it not more wonderful to accomplish without the blandishment of colors what Apelles accomplished with their aid?" In likening Dürer to Apellesindeed, in asserting the German's superiority over the Greek artistErasmus echoed a tradition dating back to antiquity of judging artists and the visual character of their work by the standards set by their predecessors. Dürer would certainly have appreciated the praise for his graphic talents. The portrait amply demonstrates the virtuous effects Dürer was able to achieve without the benefit of color or a liquid medium. Convincingly aligned at an angle to the picture plane, Erasmus stands writing in his study, with the books that indicate his substantial intellect and scholarship arranged around him. The vase of lilies probably refers to the purity of his mind, while the Latin and Greek inscription, prominently framed like a picture on the wall, underscores the scholar's humanistic interests: "This image of Erasmus of Rotterdam was drawn from life by Albrecht Dürer." Below is the date, 1526, in Roman numerals. Dürer met Erasmus at least once in Brussels and twice in Rotterdam during a trip to the Netherlands in 1520 and 1521. Although he sketched Erasmus several times during his trip, he did not execute the engraving until six years later, and only then with the encouragement of his close friend Willibald Pirkheimer. For certain reasons, Dürer had been disappointed by the well-known Protestant reformer. Dürer based the portrait on a medal of 1519 in Pirkheimer's collection by Quentin Massys and reproduced the Greek inscription found on the medal, which states: "A better portrait his writings show." Presumably, Erasmus agreed, because he made known his disappointment with this portrait to at least two of his colleagues. And yet, Dürer's Erasmus remains one of history's richest and most powerful depictions of scholarly preoccupation and the humanist ideal. 46,5 x 36 cm.Niet gedateerd, niet gesigneerd, begin XVII eeuw. Geschilderd op een op een dun houten paneel, bestaande uit twee delen, met aan de bovenzijde een kleine inkeping.De originele gravure werd in 1526 gemaakt in Rotterdam door de Duitse schilder Albrecht Dürer, 1471-1528, en bevindt zich nu in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Erasmus van Rotterdam, een rooms-katholiek hervormer en een van de belangrijkste Nederlandse humanisten, had grote bewondering voor Albrecht Dürer, die hij in een lofrede prees als de grootste van alle grafische kunstenaars: "En is het niet wonderbaarlijker om zonder de verleiding van kleuren te volbrengen wat Apelles met hun hulp heeft volbracht?" Door Dürer met Apelles te vergelijken, ja, door de superioriteit van de Duitser over de Griekse kunstenaar te bevestigen, herhaalde Erasmus een uit de oudheid stammende traditie om kunstenaars en het visuele karakter van hun werk te beoordelen naar de maatstaven van hun voorgangers. Dürer zou de lof voor zijn grafische talenten zeker op prijs hebben gesteld. Het portret laat goed zien welke fraaie effecten Dürer kon bereiken zonder het gebruik van kleur of een vloeibaar medium. Erasmus staat overtuigend in een hoek ten opzichte van het beeldvlak, schrijvend in zijn studeerkamer, met om hem heen de boeken die getuigen van zijn grote intellect en geleerdheid. De vaas met lelies verwijst waarschijnlijk naar de zuiverheid van zijn geest, terwijl de Latijnse en Griekse inscriptie, prominent ingekaderd als een afbeelding aan de muur, de hum.
