Alabaster was a popular material in European sculpture, especially from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. Its relative availability and easy to sculpt characteristic made it a highly suitable material for both large monuments and small objects, for mass production and individual works, from England to Spain and France to the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. This material has been the subject of multidisciplinary research in various European countries for several decades. The research combines material analyses with historical and art-historical approaches. This publication, made for the occasion of the large exhibition on the theme at M Leuven opening on October 14th, brings together all renown specialists on the material and sheds light on the many facets of alabaster, such as its physical and chemical properties as well as its translucency, its whiteness, its softness, and its beautiful sheen, all of which made it a popular material used in different types of sculpture from the middle ages to the baroque, all throughout Europe, ranging from bespoke tombs, funerary monuments and commissioned sculptures and altarpieces to commercially interesting formulas such as English or Mechelen alabaster reliefs.--éd.

1517 : fondation du 'Collegium Trilingue', ou "Collège des Trois Langues" de Louvain. L?histoire de cet établissement humaniste en est une non seulement d?une remarquable visée scientifique et pédagogique, mais aussi d?efforts obstinés, voire de combats courageux, couronnés d?un succès international sans précédent. Mettant à profit le legs de Jérôme de Busleyden, conseiller au Grand Conseil de Malines, décédé en août 1517, Érasme s?attela aussitôt à la création d?un collège où des savants de renommée internationale prodigueraient un enseignement public et gratuit de latin, de grec et d?hébreu. Dans ce collège "trilingue", étudiants-boursiers et professeurs vivaient ensemble. La fondation du collège, près du Marché aux poissons, au centre de Louvain, a dû affronter de nombreuses critiques et attaques de la part d?adversaires "traditionalistes". Dans le premier siècle de son existence, le collège dut traverser des moments difficiles à une époque fortement marquée par des troubles politiques et religieux. Toutefois, pendant ce temps, le nouvel institut s?acquit une haute renommée scientifique à travers l?Europe. De l?étranger, des centaines d?étudiants y accouraient pour suivre les cours donnés par des professeurs de réputation internationale. À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, la Révolution française mit brusquement fin à trois siècles d?enseignement "trilingue".0Les contributions dans cet ouvrage fournissent une vue d?ensemble du projet pédagogique et scientifique animé par l?esprit d?Érasme, de l?histoire du Collège des Trois Langues, et de sa contribution didactique et scientifique à l?étude des langues et des littératures, dans son contexte européen.

Rehearsals is the first book to provide a detailed account of the German invasion of Belgium in August 1914 as it affected civilians. Based on extensive eyewitness testimony, the book chronicles events in and around the towns of Liege, Aarschot, Andenne, Tamines, Dinant, and Leuven. Fearing resistance from guerilla fighters and determined to cross rapidly through Belgium, German armies, particularly in locations where they met resistance from Belgian or French forces, treated civilians with great ruthlessness. Nearly 6,000 non-combatants were executed as "franc-tireurs," including women and children (the equivalent of about 230,000 Americans today), and some 25,000 homes and other buildings were burned. But there were no franc-tireurs, only innocent Belgians who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even today, accounts of the killing, looting, and arson are dismissed as "atrocity propaganda," particularly in the U.S. and U.K. Those historians who acknowledge that the German war crimes took place attribute them to a spontaneous outbreak of paranoia about franc-tireurs. Rehearsals offers evidence that the executions were part of a deliberate campaign of terrorism ordered by military authorities, and reflected beliefs that differed from those of their counterparts in other Western European nations.
