Seven Perspectives on the Woodcut covers a wide range of issues related to
bookmaking in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The analyses of the art of
the woodcut presented here have their beginnings in the exhibition "A
Heavenly Craft: The Woodcut in Early Printed Books," which opened at the
Library of Congress in April 2005. Each chapter analyzes unique perspectives
on the artistic development of the woodcut. Topics include the work of
Albrecht Dürer, distinguished miniaturist Benedetto Bordon, early illustrated
versions of Genesis, the illustrations for Bernhard von Breydenbach's Travels
in the Holy Land, one of the earliest travelogues, and the history of early
illustrated prayer books and devotional texts. Corresponding images of
woodcuts as well as photographs of original woodblocks appear throughout
the volume. Distributed for the Library of Congress. [Order No. 100570]

HES & DE GRAAF Publishers re-issues The Shadow of the Crescent, because the book is concerned with the image of
the Turk in the West after the fall of Constantinople till the beginnings of the Reformation and deals with the
western attitude toward the Ottomans and the growing importance of the Islam. Certainly the problems were, and
still are immense, not exactly the same, but undoubtedly comparable. At least we can learn from this book that
there is nothing new under the sun."This book is primarily a survey of European responses, political as well as
literary, to the Turkish advance into Europe between the fall of Constantinople and the beginning of the Protestant
Reformation" (in: The American Historical Review, vol 74, nr 2 (Dec. 1968)). Sales rights: Available outside North
America from HES & DE GRAAF Publishers. [Order No. 103671]
