Un vieux dicton universel : " si tu veux savoir où tu vas, alors retourne-toi et regarde d'où tu viens " Depuis ma tendre enfance, j'ai entendu parler des Chauffeurs du Lyonnais : vous savez, ceux qui pendant la Révolution Française, chauffaient les pieds des gens pour leur faire avouer où ils cachaient leur magot et aussi, ceux qui attaquaient les diligences. Mon grand-père Jean Gerin, né à Aveize le 14 décembre 1865, m'expliquait ce que son grand-père lui racontait à ce sujet, mais il me précisait que les gens n'aimaient pas que l'on en parle, car la religion, les notables et les seigneurs et même les petits paysans, étaient impliqués dans cette affaire. Ceci s'était déroulé dans la Petite Vendée Lyonnaise (nom donné par analogie à ce qui s'était passé dans la Grande Vendée). Le centre stratégique de la Petite Vendée était Saint-Martin-en-Haut car c'est là qu'était né le chef des brigands : Pierre Grataloup surnommé en patois le petit Monsu " (" le petit Monsieur " : petit par la taille mais Monsieur dans le sens de personne importante comme un notable). Depuis quelques années, et surtout depuis que j'ai fait un travail considérable pour écrire le parcours et la vie de Vacher le tueur de bergères, beaucoup de mes lecteurs, me supplient de chercher, afin de percer ce grand mystère du " Petit Monsu ", qui parait-il, pèse de plus en plus lourd sur les gens et la collectivité de cette région, parce que depuis deux siècles, on entend tout et n'importe quoi à ce sujet. Que savait-on sur les chauffeurs du Lyonnais ? Comme trace écrite et authentique, il y a bien sûr une quinzaine de pages écrites en 1859 par Aimé Vingtrinier qui avait 47 ans à ce moment-là. Sa famille paternelle était originaire de Ambérieu en Bugey dans l'Ain, il habitait à Lyon et sa grand-mère maternelle Émilie Martinière née Montagnat, habitait à Thurins (Rhône). Aimé Vingtrinier avait écrit ce qu'elle lui avait raconté en 1820 quand il avait 8 ans. C'est comme ça que l'on sait avec certitude, car ceci rejoint la mémoire collective, que " le Petit Monsu " s'appelait Pierre Grataloup et était né à Saint-Martin-en-Haut. (...)

A profound understanding of the surrealists’ connections with alchemists and secret societies and the hermetic aspirations revealed in their works • Explains how surrealist paintings and poems employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, alchemy, and other hermetic sciences to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers • Provides many examples of esoteric influence in surrealism, such as how Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers Not merely an artistic or literary movement as many believe, the surrealists rejected the labels of artist and author bestowed upon them by outsiders, accepting instead the titles of magician, alchemist, or--in the case of Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo--witch. Their paintings, poems, and other works were created to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers. They used creative expression as the vehicle to attain what André Breton called the “supreme point,” the point at which all opposites cease to be perceived as contradictions. This supreme point is found at the heart of all esoteric doctrines, including the Great Work of alchemy, and enables communication with higher states of being. Drawing on an extensive range of writings by the surrealists and those in their circle of influence, Patrick Lepetit shows how the surrealists employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, and alchemy not simply as reference points but as significant elements of their ongoing investigations into the fundamental nature of consciousness. He provides many specific examples of esoteric influence among the surrealists, such as how Picasso’s famous Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers, how painter Victor Brauner drew from his father’s spiritualist vocation as well as the Kabbalah and tarot, and how doctor and surrealist author Pierre Mabille was a Freemason focused on finding initiatory paths where “it is possible to feel a new system connecting man with the universe.” Lepetit casts new light on the connection between key figures of the movement and the circle of adepts gathered around Fulcanelli. He also explores the relationship between surrealists and Freemasonry, Martinists, and the Elect Cohen as well as the Grail mythos and the Arthurian brotherhood.

Not so long ago, in certain cities on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived and flourished side by side. What can the histories of these cities tell us? Levant is a book of cities. It describes three former centers of great wealth, pleasure, and freedom—Smyrna, Alexandria, and Beirut—cities of the Levant region along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. In these key ports at the crossroads of East and West, against all expectations, cosmopolitanism and nationalism flourished simultaneously. People freely switched identities and languages, released from the prisons of religion and nationality. Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived and worshipped as neighbors.Distinguished historian Philip Mansel is the first to recount the colorful, contradictory histories of Smyrna, Alexandria, and Beirut in the modern age. He begins in the early days of the French alliance with the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century and continues through the cities' mid-twentieth-century fates: Smyrna burned; Alexandria Egyptianized; Beirut lacerated by civil war.Mansel looks back to discern what these remarkable Levantine cities were like, how they differed from other cities, why they shone forth as cultural beacons. He also embarks on a quest: to discover whether, as often claimed, these cities were truly cosmopolitan, possessing the elixir of coexistence between Muslims, Christians, and Jews for which the world yearns. Or, below the glittering surface, were they volcanoes waiting to erupt, as the catastrophes of the twentieth century suggest? In the pages of the past, Mansel finds important messages for the fractured world of today.

How are processes of vision, perception, and sensation conceived in the Renaissance? How are those conceptions made manifest in the arts? The essays in this volume address these and similar questions to establish important theoretical and philosophical bases for artistic production in the Renaissance and beyond. The essays also attend to the views of historically significant writers from the ancient classical period to the eighteenth century, including Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, St Augustine, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen), Ibn Sahl, Marsilio Ficino, Nicholas of Cusa, Leon Battista Alberti, Gian Paolo Lomazzo, Gregorio Comanini, John Davies, Rene Descartes, Samuel van Hoogstraten, and George Berkeley. Contributors carefully scrutinize and illustrate the effect of changing and evolving ideas of intellectual and physical vision on artistic practice in Florence, Rome, Venice, England, Austria, and the Netherlands. The artists whose work and practices are discussed include Fra Angelico, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Filippino Lippi, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael, Parmigianino, Titian, Bronzino, Johannes Gumpp and Rembrandt van Rijn. Taken together, the essays provide the reader with a fresh perspective on the intellectual confluence between art, science, philosophy, and literature across Renaissance Europe.
