As a master of his discipline, the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius has been read widely for centuries. This collection of essays by an international team of experts investigates his influence and reception in ideas, artistic forms, and building practices from antiquity to modern day. The stories of influence told in these pages suggest that it is the unbridgeable gulf between the Vitruvian text and surviving monuments that makes reading the Ten Books so endlessly compelling. The contributors to this volume offer their own, original readings, which are organized into the five sections: transmission; translation; reception; practice; and Vitruvian topics.

Tia Trafford's 'Everything Is Police' explores the pervasive role of policing within the context of anti-Black violence, tracing its historical roots from slavery to contemporary society. The book critically examines the colonial legacies that underpin modern policing practices and how they perpetuate racial hierarchies and systemic violence. By analyzing incidents such as the killing of Stephen Lawrence, Trafford situates these events within the 'colonial present,' highlighting the continuous impact of colonialism and imperialism. The work is intended for scholars and readers interested in cultural studies, racial justice, and policing, aiming to provoke thought and discussion on reform and abolitionist perspectives.

Les références à l’Antiquité grecque et romaine se font très présentes dans la création des artistes plasticiens. Il s’agit d’un phénomène de reprise qui n’est pas seulement européen, comme pourrait a priori le laisser penser une longue tradition culturelle : il concerne aussi bon nombre d’artistes américains et extrême-orientaux. Assurément, l’Antiquité constitue aujourd’hui un univers référentiel riche et stimulant dans lequel les artistes viennent avec grande liberté puiser. À travers cet ouvrage, nous nous intéresserons tant aux œuvres artistiques produites ces quarante dernières années qu’aux artistes qui les façonnent et aux publics qui les reçoivent

The first aim of the book is to show the systematic unity of the Avicennian doctrines on ontology and aetiology, highlighting the threads connecting the two. The second aim is to investigate Avicenna's influence over his intepreters, assessing continuities and discontinuties"--

"The Prologue offers an overview of the Reformation of method from Augustine of Hippo through to the Ramist movement, providing an orientation to the rest of the book. It highlights and explains an important nexus of Realism, exemplarism and illumination fundamental to Ramism. Beginning with Augustine it shows how these themes coalesced into a distinctive Christian philosophy taken up and refined by Franciscans such as Bonaventure of Bagnoregio and John Duns Scotus, as well as by Ramon Lull, the Franciscan-inspired encyclopaedist. It traces the continuation of this methodological impulse into the Platonism and Christian humanism of the Renaissance, highlighting especially the topical and Realist (Scotistic) reform of logic pioneered by Lorenzo Valla and Rudolph Agricola. It concludes by showing the reception of this topical and biblical reform in Philipp Melanchthon and the movement of Reformed scholasticism, revealing Reformed Scotism and Christian philosophy as important preconditions for Ramism"--

"What do writings about the German king Henry IV (Bruno of Merseburg), about the failed conquest of Ireland (Gerald of Wales), about the wars led by Frederick Barbarossa (Rahewin) and about the Dutch fight against the Spanish armies (Famiano Strada) have in common? They demonstrate that whatever tasks Latin historiographers were facing, they strived to write captivating history that gave meaning to complex conflicts, wars, political intrigues and upheavals. In doing so, they all employed a range of Sallustian techniques and narratives. This book explores the reception of Sallust in post-antique Europe, illuminating how it can help us understand what constitutes Latin literature and literature in general"--
