Turning over a new leaf / druk 1
change and development in the medieval book
2012 || Paperback || Rosamond McKitterick e.a. || Leiden University Press
Wat kunnen we concluderen over de lezer aan de hand van een onderzoek naar de lay-out van een middeleeuwse tekst? Mogen we aan de hand van een collectie van een bibliotheek conclusies trekken over de cultuur waarin deze collectie werd samengesteld?
Gedurende de middeleeuwen waren manuscripten voor boeken voortdurend onderhevig aan veranderingen. Deze kwamen voort uit nieuwe inzichten in bijvoorbeeld het gebruik van koppen bij teksten of de toepassing van hoofdstuknummering.
Met de focus op de...

Proportional Systems in the History of Architecture
A Critical Reconsideration
2018 || Hardcover || Matthew A. Cohen e.a. || Leiden University Press
Since the origins of architectural history, proportional systems have served as objects of belief and modes of iconographical communication. Whether they are capable of fulfilling more tangible functions remains a matter of debate today, for this ancient and diverse belief system continues to infiltrate architectural thinking in subtle and sometimes surprising ways.
In this collection of original essays, twenty-six leading scholars reconsider the long history of proportional systems across nu...

Cape Conflict
Protest and Political Alliances in a Dutch Settlement
2019 || Paperback || Teun Baartman || Leiden University Press
In the historiography of the period of Dutch rule in the Cape of Good Hope, from 1652 until 1795, Cape burghers are represented as the perpetual underdogs bristling against the rule of a restrictive Dutch East India Company (VOC). But was this relationship really so antagonistic?
The author places Cape colonial society in the wider context of the Dutch Republic and, in doing so, compares the political structures, institutions and dynamics of the Republic and its overseas settlement. He shows ...

Gum Arabic
The Golden tears of the Acacia Tree
|| Paperback || Dorrit van Dalen || Leiden University Press
Gum Arabic is a natural product which grows exclusively in the Sahel and has played an ever increasing role in the global economy. In the time of the crusades, Europeans bought the ingredient in Arab countries. Soon, it was not only used in ink or medicine, but also as a symbol of its putative Arab origin, the noble Orient. Later, gum was bought directly in the countries where it was produced, but western dependence on it grew. As European countries were laying the foundations for their colon...

The potters’ perspectives
A vibrant chronological narrative of ceramic manufacturing practices in the valley of Juigalpa, Chontales, Nicaragua (cal 300 CE-present)
2020 || Paperback || Natalia R. Donner || Leiden University Press
The work of Fernand Braudel (1949) should have revolutionized the way archaeology conceptualizes temporal scales and builds chronological narratives. Even though Braudel’s general views did impact archaeological theory deeply, his three different time-scales, together with insights into duration as the inner dialectic between different temporalities, remain neglected in archaeological practice.
Nowadays, ceramic chronology building in archaeology still relies on two main variables: time-spa...
