Mit dieser zweibandigen Arbeit wird ein umfassendes neues Zitierwerk fur die Munzpragung des romischen Kaisers Traianus (98-117) vorgelegt. Es verzeichnet in einem systematisch aufgebauten Katalogteil, der auf der Basis von ca. 24.000 Einzelbelegen erstellt ist, in bisher nicht gekannter Prazision alle Typen und Varianten traianischer Reichsmunzen. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Systematisierung der vielfaltigen Bustendarstellungen des kaiserlichen Munzbildnisses sowie der relativen und absoluten Chronologie der Munzpragung - vor allem in der Rekonstruktion des Prageablaufs fur die so problematische Periode des funften Kaiserconsulats (103-111): Fur diese Zeitspanne wurde auch eine neue Analyse der numismatischen Portraittypologie Traians durchgefuhrt, die im Kontext der Entwicklung des rundplastischen Kaiserbildes diskutiert wird. Das Buch enthalt neben dem Katalog, der auch ausfuhrliche Materialnachweise und Angaben zur relativen Haufigkeit der einzelnen Typen und Varianten bieten kompakte Pragetabellen zur raschen Orientierung sowie einen Einleitungsteil zu allen relevanten historischen, finanzgeschichtlichen, numismatischen und doxographischen Aspekten. Ein umfangreicher Kommentarteil erlautert die gewahlte Ordnung; mehrere Indices und Konkordanzen zur bisher vorliegenden Zitierliteratur sowie ein umfassender Bildteil von 164 Tafeln machen das Werk in Hinkunft zu einem unentbehrlichen Arbeitsinstrument.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
