The Romero Memory
Exploring Heritages of International Solidarity
2024 || Paperback || Judith Gruber e.a. || Leuven University Press
On 24 March 1980, Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated while celebrating mass in San Salvador. During the last years of his life, Romero had become an outspoken opponent of the oppression by El Salvador’s dictatorial regime and a beacon of peace and hope in a country torn by injustice, inequality and violence. His assassination sparked global outrage and converged with a growing international awareness of the plight of Latin America. To this day, Romero continues to inspire ...

Moral Seascapes
On the Ethics and Aesthetics of Maritime Emergency
2024 || Paperback || Chiara Giubilaro e.a. || Leuven University Press
We are no strangers today to visual representations of human suffering at sea: the refugee crisis that continues to play out in the seascape between Europe and Africa (and not only there) yields an ever-growing archive of humanitarian tragedy. As both a visual backdrop and a lethal medium of unequal mobility, maritime space and landscape play a significant role in mediating the ethical demands of this crisis. Yet there has been little exploration of the longer history of morality’s role in ...

2018 || Paperback || Milena Minkova || Leuven University Press
A comprehensive critical anthology of Neo-Latin texts.

Neo-Thomism in Action
Law and Society Reshaped by Neo-Scholastic Philosophy, 1880-1960
2021 || Paperback || Wim Decock e.a. || Leuven University Press
In his encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for Church doctrine and tradition. As a result, the neo-scholastic framework dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter.
This volume assesses the societal impact of the Thomist revival movement, with particular atten...

Building, Teaching, Researching Architecture
2022 || Paperback || Eireen Schreurs e.a. || Leuven University Press
The practice of architecture manifests in myriad forms and engagements.

Pietro Pomponazzi and the Renaissance Theory of the Elements
A Study with Editions of Unpublished Texts
2024 || Hardcover || Luca Burzelli || Leuven University Press
In medieval and early modern natural philosophy, very few issues were as controversial as the nature of the elements. From the thirteenth up until the sixteenth century, European thinkers discussed this problem with growing interest. Defining the nature of the elements was key to deciphering the very structure of the universe and the essence of things. Along with five primary texts, here edited for the first time, this book discusses one of the most original contributions to this debate, that...

Retranslating the Bible and the Qur’an
Historical Approaches and Current Debates
2024 || Paperback || Elvira Kulieva e.a. || Leuven University Press
By spanning both historical and current aspects, and by treating the Bible and the Qur’an together, this book breaks new ground and paves the way for future research on the myriad discursive and religious aspects of retranslation.
This carefully curated collection of article argues that the retranslation of canonical religious texts is a multi-faceted phenomenon. The collection demonstrates that retranslations of such texts manifest in different forms, depending on the religious, political ...

The United States of Belgium
The Story of the First Belgian Revolution
2018 || Paperback || Jane C. Judge || Leuven University Press
In 1790, between the birth of America (1776) and the creation of the French National Assembly (1789), nine provinces nestled between the French and Dutch borders declared themselves a new free and independent country: the United States of Belgium. Before then, the provinces had been part of the vast Austrian Habsburg Empire ruled by Joseph II. In 1789 revolutionaries from Brussels to Ghent to Namur recruited a grass-roots army that, to the surprise of many, successfully chased imperial forces...
