His children having to provide for their sustenance by the labour of their hands, resolved to do so with courage. But, that they might not dis honor the coat of arms of their noble ancestors, they assumed the plebeian names of two plants, the plantain and the leek, in French Plantain and Porret. One became a bookseller, the other an apothecary. Only the last phrase is true in this legend. Plantin, after his marriage, lived some time in Paris. In 1549 he settled at Antwerp, which was at that time, together with the capital of France, the most flourishing town of the north-west of our continent, as a book-binder and casket-maker.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In de 16de eeuw was Antwerpen een belangrijk humanistisch centrum. De ideale omgeving voor boekbinder-drukker en eersteklas netwerker Christoffel Plantijn. Via brieven hield hij contact met figuren zoals de geleerde Justus Lipsius, de kaartenmaker Abraham Ortelius en de plantkundige Rembert Dodoens. Dit boek bundelt de brieven die het meest tot de verbeelding spreken en die de uitgever-zakenman in volle actie tonen: terwijl hij auteurs ronselt, een Bijbelvertaling opstart, problemen met personeel oplost en nog veel meer. Plantijns brieven bieden zo meer inzicht in de persoon Plantijn én in de zestiende-eeuwse tijdsgeest met thema?s die ook vandaag nog brandend actueel zijn, zoals internationale handel, oorlog, censuur, reputatieschade, vader-dochterrelaties...00Exhibition: 'Brieven van Plantin', Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp, Belgium (28.11.2020-28.2.2021).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"In 'The Ruins Lesson,' the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet-critic Susan Stewart explores the West's fascination with ruins in literature, visual art, and architecture, covering a vast chronological and geographical range from the ancient Egyptians to T. S. Eliot. In the multiplication of images of ruins, artists, and writers she surveys, Stewart shows how these thinkers struggled to recover lessons out of the fragility or our cultural remains. She tries to understand the appeal in the West of ruins and ruination, particularly Roman ruins, in the work and thought of Goethe, Piranesi, Blake, and Wordsworth, whom she returns to throughout the book. Her sweeping, deeply felt study encompasses the founding legends of broken covenants and original sin; Christian transformations of the classical past; the myths and rituals of human fertility; images of ruins in Renaissance allegory, eighteenth-century melancholy, and nineteenth-century cataloguing; and new gardens that eventually emerged from ancient sites of disaster"--
