A brilliant translation of this classic account of the art of memory and the logic of linkage and combination, the two traditions deriving from the Classical world and the late medieval period, and becoming intertwined in the 16th Century. From this intertwining emerged a new tradition, a grandiose project for an 'alphabet of the world' or 'Clavis Universalis'. Translated with an Introduction by Stephen Clucas.

Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's attention. In the face of both cocaine wars and guerrilla conflict, the country has maintained steady economic growth as well as a relatively open and democratic government based on a two-party system. It has also produced an impressive body of art and literature. David Bushnell traces the process of state-building in Colombia from the struggle for independence, territorial consolidation, and reform in the nineteenth century to economic development and social and political democratization in the twentieth. He also sheds light on the modern history of Latin America as a whole.

Dependence upon grain deeply marked every aspect of life in eighteenth-century France. Steven Kaplan focuses upon this dependence at the point where it placed the greatest strain on the state, the society, and the individual--on the daily supply of grain and flour that furnished the staff of life. He reconstructs the history of provisioning in pre-industrial Paris and provides a comprehensive view of a culture shaped by the subsistence imperative. Who were the agents of the provisioning trade? What were their commercial practices? What sorts of relations did they maintain with each other? How did the authorities regulate their business? To answer these questions, Professor Kaplan combed the archives and libraries of France. He maps out the elementary structures of the trade and shows how they were transformed as a result of cultural and political as well as commercial and technological changes. In rich ethnographic detail he evokes the dayto-day life of merchants, millers, bakers, brokers, and market officials. He shows how flour superseded grain and how the millers overtook the merchants in the provisioning process. He explores the tension between the suppliers' need for freedom and the consumers' need for security. Even as he weaves the intricate patterns of life inside and outside the marketplace he never loses sight of the immense interests at stake: the stability and legitimacy of the government, the durability of the social structure, and the survival of the people.

In "The Treatises of Benvenuto Cellini on Goldsmithing and Sculpture," the illustrious Renaissance artist provides an in-depth exploration of his artistic philosophy and the technical expertise required in the intricate arts of goldsmithing and sculpture. Written with vibrant prose and a meticulous attention to detail, Cellini's treatises serve as both instructional manuals and personal narratives, encapsulating the spirit of the 16th century. His passionate reflections on creativity, craftsmanship, and aesthetic beauty resonate through vivid anecdotes and practical advice, marking a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of art theory during the Renaissance. Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was not only a master goldsmith but also a sculptor and an author, with a life that intertwined artistry and adventure. His experiences—ranging from court intrigues to personal rivalries—shaped his perspective on art as a discipline of both skill and emotion. Inspired by the classical ideals and the burgeoning humanist thought of his era, Cellini's works reflect a deep-seated belief in the power of individual creativity and the importance of personal expression in art. This treatise is an essential read for students, artists, and historians alike, offering invaluable insights into Renaissance artistry and Cellini's indomitable spirit. Through his eloquent and engaging narrative, readers are invited to engage with the artistic processes of a genius whose influence continues to reverberate through the world of art today.

Few writers are as integrally bound to place as Pablo Neruda was to the landscape of Isla Negra on the Chilean coast. In this volume issued to celebrate the centennial of the Nobel Prize-winning poet's birth, the poems and photos reveal the landscape of Isla Negra as well as the home into which Neruda put so much of himself.
