Art, Narrative,and Religious Imagination

Marc Michael EpsteinIn this beautifully illustrated book,historian Marc Michael Epsteinexplores four magnificent andenigmatic illuminated haggadot

manuscripts created for use at home services on Passover. They include the earliest known surviving illuminated haggadah: theBirds’ Head Haggadah, made in Mainz around 1300, in which

many of the faces on the human figures depicted throughoutare replaced with those of birds. Also presented is the GoldenHaggadah from Barcelona,c.1320–30, along with two Spanish‘siblings’, the Rylands Haggadah and its purported Brother,made between 1330 and 1340, which share similariconography and style.Though the importance of these manuscripts is universally acknowledged, Epstein examines them with fresh eyes, offeringinsightful solutions to long-unresolved questions concerningthe meaning of the art contained within them. In addition, heuses these treasured volumes as a springboard to addressbroader issues in the study of Jewish thought and culture.Marc Michael Epstein is professor of religion at VassarCollege.

explores for the first time the development and significance of thiscollection, making unprecedented use of the Museum’s archivalresources, much of which has never been published. This overview reveals changing attitudes toward collecting over time, asPhiladelphia (historically a conservative city) and its flagshipmuseum were confronted with the dramatic aesthetic shiftsheralded by modernism. From being the largest institutionalcollector of Tiffany glass in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to coaxing Florence Knoll Bassett out of retirement in 2005 to design her own exhibition, the Museumhas made a unique contribution to the history of design. This

beautiful publication is a vital reference for anyone interestedin the history of museums, decorative arts and design.Kathryn Bloom Hiesinger is Curator of European Decorative Arts after 1700 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Swami Vivekananda’s speech to the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 is the centrepiece of Indian artist Jitish Kallat’s new work,Public Notice 3 . The installation went onview at the Art Institute of Chicago exactly 108 years afterVivekananda delivered his address calling for an end to ‘bigotry and fanaticism’. The text of the speech appears on the risers of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Grand Staircase where it is illuminatedin the five colours—red, orange, yellow, blue and green—designated by the United States Homeland Security Advisory System to signify threat levels. This book, which documents theinstallation, is a full-scale exploration of Kallat’s work.

Debra Bricker Balken

Since his early work was first

embraced by Alfred Stieglitz, John Marin has been recognisedas one of America’s foremost watercolourists. During the lasttwo decades of Marin’s career,however, oil painting played a

greater role in his studio practice. Marin’s engagement with oil was liberating, eventually yielding a more fluid, linear andcalligraphic style. This beautiful publication is the first to focusexclusively on Marin’s output from the 1930s through the early 1950s, a corpus of nearly seventy works, which has beengenerally overlooked in art historical literature. Debra BrickerBalken resituates these works within the discourses of mid-century modernism, convincingly arguing that critics saw themas important precursors to Abstract Expressionism.ExhibitionPortland Museum of Art, Maine, 23/06/11–09/10/11

A man of as many names as

motives, Edward Bancroft is asingular figure in the history of Revolutionary America. Born inMassachusetts in 1745, Bancroftmoved to England in the 1760sand began building a respectablerésumé as both a scientist and aman of letters. Though lauded in

his time as an American patriot, when British diplomatic archives were opened in the late nineteenth century, it was revealed thatBancroft led a secret life as a British agent acting against Frenchand American interests. This book reveals the full extent of Bancroft’s deception and assesses whether he should ultimately beconsidered a traitor to America or a patriot to Britain.“Schaeper is the first scholar to explore Bancroft’s life indetail and to treat his activities as a spy in a sober, intelligentfashion.”—Harry Dickinson, University of Edinburgh

Jacob P. Dalton

Taking two early Tibetan texts as hisstarting point, Jacob Dalton explores the ways in which violence has been integralto the development of TibetanBuddhism. Paying particular attentionto Tibet’s dark age that spanned from842 to 986 C.E., he draws on previously unstudied manuscripts discovered in thefamous ‘library cave’ near Dunhuang.These demonstrate how this period inTibetan history was crucial to theTibetan assimilation of Buddhism, andto the spread of the violent themes of tantric Buddhism. From the late tenthcentury onward, this period and itsmythic and ritual themes of violence,demon taming and blood sacrifice cameto play important symbolic roles inTibetan history and politics.

Jacob P. Dalton is Assistant Professor of Tibetan Buddhist Studies in theDepartment of East Asian Languagesand Cultures and the Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies,University of California, Berkeley.

Sudan, 1880–1960Brian J. Peterson

In this groundbreaking historicalinvestigation, Brian Peterson considersfor the first time how and why ruralpeoples in West Africa ‘became Muslim’under French colonialism. Petersonrejects conventional interpretations thatemphasise the roles of states, jihads andelites in ‘converting’ people, arguinginstead that the expansion of Islam owedits success to the mobility of thousandsof rural people who gradually, andusually peacefully, adopted the new religion on their own. Based on extensivefieldwork in villages across southern Mali(formerly French Sudan) and on archivalresearch in West Africa and France, the

book draws a detailed new portrait of grassroots, multi-generational processesof Islamization in French Sudan whilealso deepening our understanding of theimpact and unintended consequences of colonialism.Brian J. Peterson is Assistant Professorof History, Union College.
