Abstract

This volume refers to medium-sized panels and fragments of stained-glass windows from the Middle Ages up to the end of the 18th century, found in public buildings, churches, museums and private collections in the present five provinces of Flanders (Belgium). The present volume contains the panels and fragments encountered and researched by the authors since they started their research more than thirty years ago. Many of these panels and fragments are totally unknown to the public as they have never been displayed, nor published. Nevertheless they demonstrate an important aspect of stained-glass production and stained-glass conservation. Where large windows in churches are well known to the public, it is often forgotten that even more stained glass was created for dwellings of the noble or patricians, house chapels, guild rooms, smaller spaces in abbeys, etc. It also became clear that virtually no glass was thrown away and larger fragments and panes were recycled as ‘stop gaps’ or integrated in composite panels, the so called ‘vitraux d’antiquaires’. Furthermore archaeological sites nearly always reveal quite small pieces of glass, which could not be used for repairs or as ‘cullet’ in the glass production cycle. A selection of these archaeological finds is also presented in this volume. At the end of this volume ‘Addenda’ to the previous volumes are also added.

Abstract

In the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the Irish were by far the largest foreign student body at Leuven University. After Henry VIII's break with Rome, Irish catholic students were no longer welcome in Oxford and Cambridge and were obliged to turn to the continent for their education. Leuven was the first university they attended. Already in 1548 there is a record of a William de Trehesse matriculating at Leuven University. For almost two centuries Leuven had no less than three Irish Colleges : the Franciscan College of St. Anthony's (1607), the Irish Pastoral College (1622/4) and the Dominican College of the Holy Cross (1624). In 1797 the French Revolution closed the university and all o its colleges. Due to the abundance of the Leuven University archives, it has been possible to reconstruct the academic careers of almost 1200 Irish students. However, they don't represent all the Irish students to have attended Leuven University. Only a few Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits and other regulars are listed. The friars and fathers studied in their own colleges or in the study houses of their orders. The majority of Irish secular students were destined for the priesthood and the Irish mission. A few studied law and many, surprisingly, medicine. Irish Leuven alumni provided no fewer than five archbishops, twelve bishops and ten professors at Leuven University itself.

Abstract

In deze publicatie worden zowel de vroegste projecten voor nieuwe zestiende-eeuwse versterkingen voor de stad Antwerpen, als de bouw van de Spaanse omwalling, de chronologie, de aannemers en de maatschappelijke implicaties van deze grootse onderneming toegelicht. Rijkelijk geïllustreerd met dikwijls nooit eerder getoond materiaal, wordt de Spaanse omwalling weer tot leven gebracht, vanaf haar bouw in 1542 tot aan haar laatste toevoegingen tijdens de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw. De afbraak van de Spaanse omwalling tijdens de jaren 1860-1870 vormt het sluitstuk van de chronologie van haar bestaan. Bijzondere aandacht gaat dan ook naar de maatschappelijke en politieke drijfveren die gespeeld hebben in België en Antwerpen om tot deze afbraak over te gaan, inclusief de sloop van de citadel. Een aanvullende reportage op basis van negentiende-eeuwse foto’s, die juist voor de afbraak van de Spaanse omwalling werden gemaakt, geeft een goed beeld van deze monumentale militaire constructie. Ze zijn de laatste ‘levende’ getuigen van de Spaanse omwalling bovengronds. Vandaag blijft nog enkel ondergronds een gedeelte van deze ooit zo grandioze militaire versterking van Antwerpen over. Hopelijk kunnen deze unieke restanten, dankzij de recente archeologische opgravingen naar aanleiding van de heraanleg van de leien, optimaal bewaard blijven voor het nageslacht, en, waar mogelijk, ook nog een culturele verrijking betekenen in het openbaar domein van de stad.
