Book Description
Les vertus médicinales et spirituelles des plantes ont toujours fasciné les hommes. Depuis l'aube de l'humanité, c'est dans la nature que l'on trouve la plupart des remèdes. Tous les grands noms de la mythologie et de l'alchimie ont utilisé les "simples". Et au-delà de l'aspect thérapeutique de la plante, c'est à l'être vivant que le chaman s'adresse lorsqu'il sollicite une aide de la part de ces précieux alliés et c'est aussi l'être vivant que l'alchimiste tend à purifier pour préparer ses alkaests et élixirs. Des rites très précis ont toujours accompagné la récolte, puis la préparation des remèdes à base de plantes. Aujourd'hui, où le rationalisme prospère, redécouvrez les rites et les méthodes des anciens qui possédaient tous les secrets de la magie verte, ce que l'on nomme encore phytothérapie traditionnelle. Apprenez à : - préparer vos remèdes à base de plantes, - protéger votre entourage ou vous faciliter la vie - réaliser vos propres rituels - élaborer vos élixirs. Cet ouvrage donne les utilisations médicinales et magiques de plus de cent plantes ; les correspondances analogiques pour la médecine hermétique et les recettes ou conseils d'utilisation.

Jesuits and Matriarchs
Author: Nadine Amsler
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780295743806
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In early modern China, Jesuit missionaries associated with the male elite of Confucian literati in order to proselytize more freely, but they had limited contact with women, whose ritual spaces were less accessible. Historians of Catholic evangelism have similarly directed their attention to the devotional practices of men, neglecting the interior spaces in Chinese households where women worshipped and undertook the transmission of Catholicism to family members and friends. Nadine Amsler's investigation brings the domestic and devotional practices of women into sharp focus, uncovering a rich body of evidence that demonstrates how Chinese households functioned as sites of evangelization, religious conflict, and indigenization of Christianity. The resulting exploration of gendered realms in seventeenth-century China reveals networks of religious sociability and ritual communities among women as well as women's remarkable acts of private piety. Amsler's exhaustive archival research and attention to material culture reveals new insights about women's agency and domestic activities, illuminating areas of Chinese and Catholic history that have remained obscure, if not entirely invisible, for far too long. The open access publication of this book was made possible by grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.

De Sphaera of Johannes de Sacrobosco in the Early Modern Period
Author: Matteo Valleriani
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030308332
Category : Astronomy
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This open access book explores commentaries on an influential text of pre-Copernican astronomy in Europe. It features essays that take a close look at key intellectuals and how they engaged with the main ideas of this qualitative introduction to geocentric cosmology. Johannes de Sacrobosco compiled his Tractatus de sphaera during the thirteenth century in the frame of his teaching activities at the then recently founded University of Paris. It soon became a mandatory text all over Europe. As a result, a tradition of commentaries to the text was soon established and flourished until the second half of the 17th century. Here, readers will find an informative overview of these commentaries complete with a rich context. The essays explore the educational and social backgrounds of the writers. They also detail how their careers developed after the publication of their commentaries, the institutions and patrons they were affiliated with, what their agenda was, and whether and how they actually accomplished it. The editor of this collection considers these scientific commentaries as genuine scientific works. The contributors investigate them here not only in reference to the work on which it comments but also, and especially, as independent scientific contributions that are socially, institutionally, and intellectually contextualized around their authors.

In Defiance of Painting
Author: Christine Poggi
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300051094
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.

Kimbanguism
Author: Aurélien Mokoko Gampiot
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271079681
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
In this volume, Aurélien Mokoko Gampiot, a sociologist and son of a Kimbanguist pastor, provides a fresh and insightful perspective on African Kimbanguism and its traditions. The largest of the African-initiated churches, Kimbanguism claims seventeen million followers worldwide. Like other such churches, it originated out of black African resistance to colonization in the early twentieth century and advocates reconstructing blackness by appropriating the parameters of Christian identity. Mokoko Gampiot provides a contextual history of the religion’s origins and development, compares Kimbanguism with other African-initiated churches and with earlier movements of political and spiritual liberation, and explores the implicit and explicit racial dynamics of Christian identity that inform church leaders and lay practitioners. He explains how Kimbanguists understand their own blackness as both a curse and a mission and how that underlying belief continuously spurs them to reinterpret the Bible through their own prisms. Drawing from an unprecedented investigation into Kimbanguism’s massive body of oral traditions—recorded sermons, participant observations of church services and healing sessions, and translations of hymns—and informed throughout by Mokoko Gampiot’s intimate knowledge of the customs and language of Kimbanguism, this is an unparalleled theological and sociological analysis of a unique African Christian movement.
