Canterbury Talesby Geoffrey Chaucer, Robert W. Hanning, Peter TuttleISBN 1593083122 (1-59308-312-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Canterbury Tales'Book summary:On a spring day in April--sometime in the waning years of the 14th century--29 travelers set out for Canterbury on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Thomas Beckett. Among them is a knight, a monk, a prioress, a plowman, a miller, a merchant, a clerk, and an oft-widowed wife from Bath. Travel is arduous and wearing; to maintain their spirits, this band of pilgrims entertains each other with a series of tall tales that span the spectrum of literary genres. Five hundred years later, people are still reading Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. If you haven't yet made the acquaintance of the Franklin, the Pardoner, or the Squire because you never learned Middle English, take heart: this edition of the Tales has been translated into modern idiom.
From the heroic romance of "The Knight's Tale" to the low farce embodied in the stories of the Miller, the Reeve, and the Merchant, Chaucer treated such universal subjects as love, sex, and death in poetry that is simultaneously witty, insightful, and poignant. The Canterbury Tales is a grand tour of 14th-century English mores and morals--one that modern-day readers will enjoy. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Conference of the Birds'Book summary:Like "Rumi" and "Hafiz", the name "Attar" conjures up images of passionate attraction to the divine. A Persian Sufi of the 12th century, Attar's masterpiece is the Conference of the Birds, an epic allegory of the seeker's journey to God. When all the birds of the world convene and determine that they lack a king, one bird stands forth and offers to lead them to a great and mighty monarch. Initially excited, each bird falters in turn, whereupon their leader admonishes them with well-targeted parables. These pithy tales are the delight of this four-and-a-half thousand line poem, translated deftly into rhymed couplets. What is your excuse for not seeking God--your life is fine already, you prefer material pleasure, you aren't holy enough, you have pride, lack courage or are burdened with responsibility? Attar has an answer to encourage you on the path. And when you get to the promised land, who is the king that you will find? It may not be who you would expect, but you must make the journey to see. --Brian Bruya [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Confessions'Book summary:Maria Bouldings version is of a different level of excellence from practically anything else on the market. She has perfected an elegant and flowing style.
Rowan Williams
Archbishop of Canterbury
The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered the all time number one Christian classic. It is an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. Augustine was probably forty-three when he began this endeavor. He had been a baptized Catholic for ten years, a priest for six, and a bishop for only two. His pre-baptismal life raised questions in the community. Was his conversion genuine? The first hearers were captivated, as many millions have been over the following sixteen centuries. His experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions. This new translation masterfully captures his experience.
So old and yet so new! This contemporary translation of Augustine's Confessions was like meeting an old friend and touching perennial truth, despite the passing years. Augustine was surely larger than life--and this translation matches it.

Its lavish, full-bleed, six-color reproductions of fabrics from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and from lesser-known ecclesiastical treasuries in the Balkans, Sweden, Poland and Russia, demonstrate the creativity of Ottoman weavers in rich detail, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in design or a general appreciation for visual delights.

Después de El libro negro y La vida nueva, el lector en español puede adentrarse en otra novela "un puzzle filosófico y fantástico en el que se cruzan el arte, la religión, el amor, el sexo y el poder" de uno de los autores que despierta más expectación internacional.

Shoes And Pattensby Francis Grew, Margrethe De Neegaard, Susan MitfordISBN 1843832380 (1-84383-238-0)
Softcover, Boydell Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Shoes And Pattens'Book summary:Until recently, very little was known about medieval shoes. Glimpses in manuscript illustrations and on funerary monuments, with the occasional reference by a contemporary writer, was all that the costume historian had as evidence, not least because leather tends to perish after prolonged contact with air, and very few actual examples survived. In recent years, however, nearly 2,000 shoes, many complete and in near-perfect condition, have been discovered preserved on the north bank of the Thames, and are now housed in the Museum of London. This collection, all from well-dated archaeological contexts, fills this vast gap in knowledge, making it possible to chart precisely the progress of shoe fashion between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Textiles and Clothing, C. 1150-1450 : Finds from Medieval Excavations in London'Book summary:Among the most evocative items to be discovered by archaeologists are the scraps of silk and wool and other fabrics that signal so eloquently their owner's status and concerns. Such clothing and textile finds have figured prominently in excavations of medieval sites in London in the past two decades; they have included knitting, tapestries, silk hair-nets and elaborately patterned oriental, Islamic and Italian fabrics, which reveal for the first time the wide range of cloths available to medieval Londoners; there are beautifully made buttons, and buttonholes and edgings which display superb craftsmanship and a high level of needlework skills; the way that clothes were cut and sewn can be studied in detail. This highly readable account will be of wide general interest; dress historians and archaeologists will also find a wealth of new insights into the fashions, clothing and textile industries of medieval England and Europe. Contents include: The Excavations, Techniques used in Textile Production, Wool Textiles, Goathair Textiles, Linen Textiles, Silk Textiles, Mixed Cloths, Narrow Wares, Sewing Techniques and Tailoring, Dyes.

La Vitaby Benvenuto Cellini, Lorenzo BellottoISBN 8877469005 (88-7746-900-5)
Hardcover, Fondazione Pietro Bembo
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'La Vita'Book summary:Benvenuto Cellini, artista fiorentino vissuto tra il 1500 e il 1571, compose fra il 1558 e il 1565 un'autobiografia, rimasta inedita fino al 1728. L'opera può essere considerata la prima autobiografia moderna. La prima parte del racconto arriva fino al 1538, quando Cellini parte per Roma, descritta dall'artista come una città violenta, ingiusta. Castel Sant'Angelo, dove Cellini viene tenuto prigioniero nel 1538 (celebri le pagine sul suo rocambolesco tentativo di fuga) diviene il simbolo del potere che soggioga la città. La seconda parte si svolge alla corte di Francia, dove egli godé del favore di Francesco I. Giunge infine alla corte fiorentina, più piccola, ma anch'essa infestata di intrighi, invidie e gelosie. L'opera è anche uno dei primi esempi di prosa manierista, antiaccademica. [via]
