Jaime Eguiguren Art & Antiques
Hugo Miguel Crespo & Annemarie Jordan Gschwend, The “Pangolin Fan”: An Imperial Ivory Fan from Ceylon. Artistic Confluence and Global Gift Exchange between Sri Lanka and Renaissance Portugal (Buenos Aires: Jaime Eguiguren Art & Antiques, 2022). ISBN: 978-84-09-41680-6. This richly illustrated book presents a definitive study of nine imperial ivory fans from Renaissance Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), carved between 1542 and 1551, in the royal workshops of the lost Sinhalese kingdom of Kōttē (කෝට්ටේ රාජධානිය). These rare ivories, which display a mix of Hindu and Buddhist iconography, are today dispersed amongst public and private collections in Europe. They were commissioned by King Bhuvanekabāhu VII (1521-1551), at the height of his reign, as political gifts for high-ranking members of the Portuguese royal family. Five intricately carved Kōttē fans were earmarked for the Portuguese Queen, Catarina of Austria (r. 1525-1578), a Habsburg infanta and youngest sister of Emperor Charles V.

Librairie Frédéric Douin : Used and Rare Books

Note the most recent catalogue, 16 July 2022, and all previous catalogues available. Shop at Douin: "Be Curious: and Life Shall Only be More Beautiful !" Some people burn, banish, defame, and censor books -- some people cherish and preserve books even at the cost of their own life. Reference to Ian Caldwell, The Rule of Four (2004), which is much more than an "ultimate puzzle book." It is one of the 'forgotten' books of utter Humanist defiance against zealotry, blinkered censorship, against the decline of the free and genuine Academia, and against Savonarola-style book-burning. You know very well which side we -- the PSR -- stand on. And yet, we would never refuse to publish a diversity of 'sides'. You draw your own conclusions from that ... . Whichever conclusion you wish to draw -- whatever (it really does not matter, just do NOT impose it on others, and especially NOT using the Police, the Courts, Internet 'Disinformation' [so-called] Commissioners, the so-called 'Authorities' and the so-called 'Trusted Sources' or 'Fact Checkers'). You know what the song says, "Sweet dreams are made of this / Who am I to disagree?" (Eurythmics, the absolutely iconic cheap second-hand-home-equipment-recorded Track 6 of 'Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This]', 1983). It all indeed is -- and has been for entire millennia -- a question of fundamental 'values'. Just not values imposed by the dumb force of so-called Law and relentless 24/7/365 Propaganda. You know what? BLAST 'Sweet Dreams' through your speakers 24/7. Just so! Because you can ... For the sheer 'annoyance' factor. Value books, value independent thought, value core honesty.


Paul Holberton Publishing 
The Global City: On the Streets of Renaissance Lisbon, edited by Annemarie Jordan Gschwend and K. J. P. Lowe (Paul Holberton Publishing: London, 2015; ISBN 9781907372889; 240 pp.) draws us into the past sensory universe of a Lisbon pre-dating the sudden seismic shock and tsunami of 1755. It does so from the starting point of two large-scale sixteenth-century vistas by an anonymous Flemish master that depict the Rua Nova dos Mercadores commercial and financial thoroughfare. Acquired in 1866 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the vistas contribute a unique spatio-temporal window into the past, at street level, bustling with the stark contradictions and contrasts of a global metropolis. The volume conjoins the two works of art with a wealth of data from newly found or suitably valorized archival documents, accompanied by a carefully selected display of little known or unpublished images of contemporary trade staples, curiosities, luxury and prestige items, naturalia, exotica, and other objects. A physical expression of the worldwide tangle of commerce, the Rua Nova as an architectural construct symbolically echoed the estuary of the river Tagus as a natural feature opening out to the Atlantic and to the oceans far beyond. The book Iets readers glimpse Lisbon and its material culture in all the vibrant cosmopolitanism characterizing this major trading hub of the Renaissance world, a hub whose essence and texture were to be forever altered by one of the planet's iconic natural cataclysms – an earthquake and a tsunami – on Saturday, 1 November 1755, the holiday of All Saints' Day.
