Catalan School. Vall de Boí. Romanesque. Circa 1160 - 1175"Virgin from a Calvary"Carved and polychromed wooden sculpture.41 × 11 × 7.5 cm.The relevance of our sculpture is evident, as it is cataloged and reproduced in the monumental encyclopedia Catalunya Romànica, volume XXVI, page 373.According to Jaume Barrachina's file, the sculpture's location at the time of publication was unknown, and its existence was only known through an old photograph from the Arxiu Más (Mas CA-13 162). Barrachina places it geographically in the western Pyrenees and dates it to the second half of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th centuryThis piece is fully Romanesque in style, and notably, the Virgin retains her original polychromy. She is depicted frontally, with her hands crossed over her chest. Her shoulders are narrow, and she has an elongated, slender face with large, slanted eyes. She wears a simple red polychromed tunic and a blue mantle decorated with red rosettes, each outlined with white dots and bearing a white cross at the centre. The mantle falls from her head, covering it while revealing a little of her hair at the forehead, parted into two locks.One of her shoes has lost much of its texture; the other shows traces of black polychromy.On the reverse, a vertical hollow could suggest the figure was used as a reliquary. This magnificent image may be associated with significant examples of Catalan Romanesque sculpture, such as the Virgin from the Calvary of Tragó de Noguera, kept in the MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya) in Barcelona. In that composition, the Virgin Mary and Saint John flank Christ on the cross. The similarities with this Virgin are striking, particularly in the way Mary is portrayed with both hands crossed and the highly schematic Romanesque style. That said, in our opinion, this sculpture is of superior quality and craftsmanship.We should also consider the Mare de Déu de Ger, also part of the MNAC collection and originally from the parish church of Santa Coloma de Ger. It shares significant stylistic similarities with this figure: the long, slender face, narrow shoulders, and mantle that falls from the head. Chronologically, they also belong to the same period. Returning to Jaume Barrachina's description, he notes that it is an image of the standing Virgin Mary dressed in a tunic, veil, and mantle. Her hands are crossed at her waist, and she holds her left hand with her right.This forms a characteristic image of a Calvary. Barrachina compares it with the previously mentioned Calvary of Tragó, which, as he specifies, is somewhat later than ours. There is another similar one that is also out of its original context and conserved in the Episcopal Museum of Vic (see Catalunya Romànica, vol. XXII, p. 90). 90).Barrachina concludes by stating that, due to the limited available material (he had available at the time) it is challenging to provide a precise stylistic approximation. Nevertheless, the elongated shape of the head, facial features, and the tip of the headdress on the forehead undoubtedly refer to a sculpture from the western Pyrenees.Provenance: Private collection, Spain.Reference Bibliography:Catalunya Romànica, vol. XXVI. page 373. Text by Jaume Barrachina.

ROUSSEAU JEAN-JACQUES: (1712-1778) French Writer and Philosopher who influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe. An extremely rare A.L.S., `J.J. Rousseau´, two pages, 8vo, n.p., 24th April 1762, in French. An excellent autograph letter by Rousseau, referring to his wound and to his encyclopedia, stating in part `Dans la supposition qu´il vous a plu de faire, Monsieur, que ma blessure n´était qu´une piqure d´aiguille, vous avez eu raison de trouver étrange que je tardasse à vous remercier de ce que vous avez bien voulu faire pour mon encyclopédie; mais quand je vous aurai dit que je souffre encore de ma main et que j´écris avec peine, j´espère que vous excuserez ce retard qui très assurément ne viens point d´ingratitude.´ (Translation: "In the supposition that you were pleased to say, Sir, that my wound was only a needle prick, you were right to find it strange that I was slow in thanking you for what you were kind enough to do for my encyclopedia; but when I have told you that I still suffer from my hand and that I write with difficulty, I hope that you will excuse this delay which most assuredly does not come from ingratitude.") Further, Rousseau comments on the mistakes and errata to sort out on the new volumes before sending copies of the work, saying `En relisant ce que j´ai des deux derniers volumes, je vois qu´ils fourmillent de fautes, et qu´ils peuvent encore moins se passer d´un errata que les deux premiers... Heureusement nous avons tout le temps d´en prendre à notre aise, et je vois de plus en plus que cette affaire ne sera pas sitôt besogne faite. Ainsi je prends insensiblement mon parti...´ (Translation: "Rereading what I have of the last two volumes, I see that there are plenty of errors, and that they cannot be issued so, do even less without an errata than the first two... Fortunately we have plenty of time to take it easy, and I see more and more that this matter will not be done so soon. So I am gradually making up my mind...") Before concluding Rousseau states in part `Je ne vous envoye point encore mon encyclopédie parce qu´il faut l´envelopper, faire des paquets, travail qui effraye beaucoup...´ (Translation: "I am not sending you my encyclopedia yet because it needs to be wrapped and packaged, a very frightening task...")

Dschamali (Jamali Yazdi) Frühe iranische Enzyklopädie der Natur Farrukh-nama-i Dschamali. Persische Handschrift auf Papier. Iran, 18. Jahrhundert. • Illustrierte Enzyklopädie der Natur • Verfaßt von Jamali Yazdi, einem persischen Gelehrten des 12. Jahrhunderts • Prachtvolle Abschrift des 18. Jahrhunderts mit zahlreichen aquarellierten Zeichnungen • Von großer Seltenheit! Keine Handschrift des Werkes im internationalen Auktionshandel, sehr wenige in öffentlichen Bibliotheken Das um 1201 verfaßte naturkundliche Kompendium behandelt in 16 Kapiteln eine Vielzahl von Themen über Mensch, Tier und Pflanze. Es ist das zweite Werk der frühen enzyklopädischen Literatur in Iran und hat gegenüber der gelehrten ersten Enzyklopädie Nuzhat-nama von Schahmardan aus den Jahren 1113-1120 einen eher populären Stil. Laut eigenem Vorwort nennt sich der Verfasser 'Abu Bakr bin al-Muttahar bin Muhammad bin al-Qasim bin Ab[u] Sa’[i]d al-Dschamal, genannt al-Yazdi, wohnhaft im Dorf Bâlih im Distrikt Buwan der Provinz Istakhr [Iran, 12./13. Jh.]: Farrukh-nama-i Dschamali , verfaßt 598H/1201.' Zu Beginn überschrieben '2. Band' und rückseitig arabisch foliiert mit f. 167-256.), hier die beiden letzteren Kapitel über Pflanze und Tier, teils in zwei Fassungen, persisch. Laut Einleitung umfaßt das Werk 16 Abhandlungen (maqale ) mit jeweils mehreren Unterabschnitten (qism, fasl, bab ), was eher den Handschriften der ersten, auf 580/1185 datierten Fassung entspricht: 1. Abhandlung über den Menschen, (hier davon nur der Unterabschnitt über Tiere und die Nutzung ihrer Körperteile, in der 4. Abhandlung f. 236-249). - 2. Vögel (Anfang f. 177r. nicht ausgewiesen, wohl Fortführung nach Lücke f. 223r). - 3. Bäume und Pflanzen (f. 178r). - 4. Kräuter (f. 187r). - 5. Gummi (sumugh, f. 187v). - 6. Edelsteine, Metalle und Mineralien (f. 188r). - 7. Arzneimittel. - 8. Öle und die Wissenschaft von der Physiognomie (tirasat, f. 192v). - 9. Sternenkunde und Astrologie (f. 193r). - 10. Handlesung, Tabelle positiver und negativer Tage und die Bedeutung von Pahlavi-Wörtern (das alte Mittelpersisch, f. 201v). - 11. Lösemittel für Gold, Perlen und Talkum (als Elixir), Messing (f. 204v). - 12. Gifte und Drogen als Gegengifte (f. 205r). - 13. Vergnügungen, Täuschungskunst und Buchkunst. - 14. Schlußkapitel (! abweichend von andern Hss.). - 15. Die Wirkung der Sterne. - 16. Anzeichen in den Sternen für Ablehnung oder Gewährung von Wünschen (f. 210v). Ab f. 223r findet sich abgewandelter Text zu denselben Themen in veränderter Systematik: Mitten in einer 2. Abhandlung im Unterkapitel zu wunderlichen Lebewesen im Land Yadschudsch va Madschudsch und dem folgenden Unterkapitel über den Basilisk (mar-i af’a ) zu Meerestieren, Fischen, Insekten und Reptilien, mit am Rand nicht ausgewiesenen Zeichnungen: f. 230r die „Eidechsenart“ zeigt eher Hunde. Ebenda beginnt die 3. Abhandlung hier über die Vögel, f. 230v über den Wundervogel Simurgh, ab f. 231v wieder namentlich am Rand in Rot ausgewiesen, Zählung von f. 232 fehlt ohne Textverlust, f. 236 beginnt laut Überschrift eine 4. Abhandlung über Pflanzen, im Text geht es jedoch um Krokodile, Wolfsarten und andere Vierbeiner. Weiterhin f. 249v die 5. Abhandlung über Bäume, mit einer Illustration der Dattelpalmenpflege durch zwei Personen und einem ähnlichen Text wie anfangs f. 178r, fortlaufend bis f. 256v. mit Abschlußformel der hier als 5. gezählten Abhandlung und oktogonales Siegel. Die in den Text integrierten, vielleicht etwas später ausgeführten Illustrationen nach populären alten Vorbildern sind meist aquarelliert, an wenigen Stellen sind leere Flächen geblieben. Interessant sind Vergleiche der doppelt vorkommenden Unterkapitel mit abweichenden Darstellungen, z.B. bei der Palme f. 249v, die von zwei Personen gepflegt wird. Das eingeheftete Blatt f. 211r von anderer Hand beschrieben und mit Kolophon für den dritten Teil des Farrukh-nama : 25. Zilhiddscha 11(91?) H / 24. Januar 1778, restlicher Kolophon ausgeschnitten, Siegel mit Devise. Rückseitig ein nicht zugehöriger Text mit Kolophon einer 'Harfen-Epistel' (Tschang-nama al-Risala al-Tschang ), verfaßt von Ibn al-`Aziz al-Mara’i. Der vierte Teil ergänzt Lücken aus dem 2. und 3. und gibt eine etwas veränderte Fassung von Teilen des 4., alles bei fortlaufender Foliierung, so daß diese Uneinheitlichkeit der Vorlage dieser Kopie geschuldet ist. Es fehlt der 1. Band über den Menschen. Eine gedruckte Edition erschien Teheran 1967, hrsg. von Iraj Afshar. Wir danken Prof. Dr. Claus Peter Haase für die wissenschaftliche Unterstützung.

Magnificent holidays with a passionate row, an annual menaion and a two-row cycle of icons of the Mother of God - a kind of encyclopedia of the Mother of God images. A majestic monument to Christianity and late Russian icon painting, where in one image the annual and Mother of God universe of Orthodoxy is revealed, full of sacrifice. With the epicenter of suffering and resurrection, the testimony of all the upcoming saints and with hope in the miraculous images of the intercessor. The Virgin Mary series is interrupted by the marks of Unexpected Joy, Joy of All Who Sorrow, the Sign and Coronation of Mary - milestones of the communion and growth of spiritual truths. The Passion Series is composed of: the Ascension of Mary, the Old Testament Trinity, the Entry into Jerusalem, the Raising of Lazarus, the Washing of the Feet, the Last Supper, the Flagellation of Christ, the Imposition of the Crown of Thorns, the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, the Descent from the Cross and the Entombment. Particularly attractive is the rare completeness of the lists of icons of the Mother of God, which can serve as an encyclopedia of the Mother of God images. The bright decorative painting on a golden background sounds excitingly solemn and life-affirming. Cypress board, gesso, tempera, gilding. Russia. Second half of the 19th century. Dimensions: 53x44 cm. Width: 44cm, Height: 53cm, Depth: 3cm, Weight: 10kg, Condition: Good, Material: Wood, gesso, gilding, tempera
