Women and Power at the French Court, 1483--1563 explores the ways in which a range of women " as consorts, regents, mistresses, factional power players, attendants at court, or as objects of courtly patronage " wielded power in order to advance individual, familial, and factional agendas at the early sixteenth-century French court. Spring-boarding from the burgeoning scholarship of gender, the political, and power in early modern Europe, the collection provides a perspective from the French court, from the reigns of Charles VIII to Henri II, a time when the French court was a renowned center of culture and at which women played important roles. Crossdisciplinary in its perspectives, these essays by historians, art and literary scholars investigate the dynamic operations of gendered power in political acts, recognized status as queens and regents, ritualized behaviors such as gift-giving, educational coteries, and through social networking, literary and artistic patronage, female authorship, and epistolary strategies.

This comprehensive and richly illustrated catalogue focuses on the finest illustrated manuscripts produced in Europe during the great epoch in Flemish illumination. During this aesthetically fertile period – beginning in 1467 with the reign of the Burgundian duke Charles the Bold and ending in 1561 with the death of the artist Simon Bening – the art of book painting was raised to a new level of sophistication. Sharing inspiration with the celebrated panel painters of the time, illuminators achieved astonishing innovations in the handling of color, light, texture, and space, creating a naturalistic style that would dominate tastes throughout Europe for nearly a century. Centering on the notable artists of the period – Simon Marmion, the Vienna Master of Mary of Burgundy, Gerard David, Gerard Horenbout, Bening, and others – the catalogue examines both devotional and secular manuscript illumination within a broad context: the place of illuminators within the visual arts, including artistic exchange between book painters and panel painters; the role of court patronage and the emergence of personal libraries; and the international appeal of the new Flemish illumination style. Contributors to the catalogue include Maryan W. Ainsworth, curator of European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; independent scholar Catherine Reynolds; and Elizabeth Morrison, assistant curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum. Illuminating the Renaissance is published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Getty Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the British Library to be held at the Getty Museum from June 17 to September 7, 2003, and at the Royal Academy of Arts from November 25, 2003 to February 22, 2004.

« Le mot manuscrit se comprend de lui-même et n’a pas besoin d’explication. Du jour où l’homme a connu l’écriture, l’art de traduire sa pensée, de fixer ses souvenirs à l’aide de signes soit figuratifs, soit conventionnels, il a existé des manuscrits. On se propose de retracer en quelques pages l’histoire de ces curieux monuments. On ne saurait nier l’intérêt de cette étude : seuls avec les monuments figurés, jusqu’à l’invention de l’imprimerie, les manuscrits nous ont conservé les productions de l’intelligence humaine et transmis l’histoire du monde. On commencera par quelques notions préliminaires sur la matière et la forme des manuscrits. Toute matière minérale, végétale ou animale, présentant une surface suffisamment étendue et facile à aplanir et à polir, a pu recevoir l’écriture ou le dessin. Toutefois, pour nous en tenir aux usages les plus répandus, voici les principales substances employées depuis la haute antiquité jusqu’à nos jours : pierre de toute espèce, bronze, bois, terre cuite, papyrus, peau ou parchemin, papier. L’usage de la plupart de ces matières s’est perpétué jusqu’à nos jours. La pierre et le marbre nous ont conservé ces innom-. brables inscriptions commémoratives ou d’ordre administratif, dont l’étude a renouvelé de nos jours l’histoire des peuples méditerranéens. En Égypte, c’est sur le basalte, l’une des substances les plus dures du règne minéral, que les écrivains ont gravé péniblement leurs fins hiéroglyphes ; Rhamsès le Grand a couvert des pans de montagnes du récit pompeux de ses triomphes. En Grèce, à Rome, on préfère le marbre ou un calcaire quelconque. L’usage de la pierre et du marbre subsiste encore au moyen, âge, mais alors on réserve généralement ces matières coûteuses et peu commodes pour de courtes inscriptions. » Fruit d’une sélection réalisée au sein des fonds de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Collection XIX a pour ambition de faire découvrir des textes classiques et moins classiques dans les meilleures éditions du XIXe siècle.
