A House in Lisbon
Luso - American Development Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal. 1997. (ISBN: 9729724601). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 24 x 31 cm; 2.552 Kg; 230 pages with illustrations in colour; New book with signs of shelf wear.; A House in Lisbon tells the history of the building situated on the Rua do Sacramento à Lapa, 21, the current headquarters of the Luso-American Development Foundation. It is a history of the people who have lived in this house since 1757, imprinting it with their mark and their memory. Built by João Fernandes de Oliveira, who for many years held the Brazilian diamond contract, the house was subsequently occupied by the Viscounts of Santarém and Beire, the apostolie nuncio Cardinal Di Pietro, and a host of other personalities who afford us a vivid glimpse into Lisbon's history during the past two hundred years. In addition, research on the house has made it possible to trace the urban development of the surrounding neighbourhood, Lapa, contributing surprising elements to our understanding of the period dominated by the Marquis of Pombal.nThe struggle between the Trinitarian sisters and the Absolutist Power sheds new light on the various twists of a reality still shrouded in myth.

Vestigios Hebraicos Em Portugal - Viagem de Uma Pintora; Jewish Vestiges in Portugal - Travels of a Painter
Laura Cesana, Lisboa. 1998, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 9789729737008). Hardcover.

The author research and her drawings, paintings and engravings are included in the publication.; "The book also opens doors to Jewish landmarks in a way not found in the meager guidebooks that tourists usually resort to when they visit Portugal. The Cesana book is written in both Portuguese and English on facing pages. It also has a rich supplement of notes. The text, the photographs of places, objects and her art work are a very sensitive account of a five year search." excerpt from the review by KATHLEEN TELTSCH (retired journalist of "The New York Times"); "The artist Laura Cesana presents a rare depiction of the heritage of Portuguese Jewry through history, culture, and art (..) She also remembered to include brief depictions of Portuguese Jewish settlements in Brazil, Amsterdam, and New York.(.) Laura Cesana is unique in that she commemorated little-known segments of Sephardic Portuguese Jewry not only through historical and ethnographic notations, but via original paintings. Her Italian and United States background add a new perspective to viewing Portuguese Jewry.(.) Cesana combines traditional still-life motifs of fruit and Jewish table settings with modernistic artistic forms - cubes, collages, overlapping, streaking, tattering, shadows, and smattering. It is thought-provoking, informative, but yet equally removed, hidden, and discrete. (.) The book should be a part of anyone's library who takes an interest in Portuguese Jewry." excerpt from the review by YITZCHAK KEREM (editor of "Sapharad"). Very Good/No Jacket.

Collecting for the Public, Works That Made a Difference: Essays for Peter Hecht
Paul Holberton publishing, London. 2016, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9781911300045). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 21.6 x 26 cm; 1.267 Kg; 240 pages with 90 colour illustrations; This book celebrates a great champion of our public collections. Peter Hecht is probably best known as an art historian who has specialized in Dutch art of the seventeenth century, with a focus on its iconography and critical fortunes. His interests, however, are wide-ranging and include the history of museums and the development of public collections in the Netherlands. Throughout his career, Hetch has worked to show us why museums matter and how their collections, large or small, national or local, can make a profound difference to the lives of those who use them. As a scholar, he has shared his understanding of how collections are formed; as an expert advisor he has influenced the fate of numerous potential acquisitions; and more recently, as a curator, he has put his knowledge into practice both in a museum setting and online, helping to animate enthusiasm for the depth and breadth of collections across the Netherlands. Perhaps above all, as a passionate believer in the power of objects, he has campaigned to keep ambitions at the highest level, reminding us that no collection, however great, is ever complete and that it is always possible to do better. In this book a number of museum curators and other art historians shine their light on one or more acquisitions that have made a difference in the collections they entered, explaining why this is so and how these purchases or donations happened - from medieval to modern. We hope that this will bring people the world over to realise the importance of collecting for the public, locally, nationally and internationally and to acknowledge and encourage the role of private individuals, associations and institutions, as well as public bodies, in this vital endeavour.

Persian Painting: Five Royal Safavid Manuscripts of the Sixteenth Century
George Blazier, New York. 1996. (ISBN: 0807608130). Soft cover. Book, English text.; Paperback.; 20.5 x 28 cm; 0.5 Kg.; 127 pages with colour illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear on the exterior, namely some scuffs. Interior in very good condition.; Classical painting flourished in Iran during the sixteenth century under the aegis of the Safavid Shahs. The forty-eight colour plates reproduced here represent the most unusual and dazzling miniatures painted during this period. A semi-nomadic people of luxuriant taste, the Iranian nobility created a life-style of world within magical world: brocade tents in which the Shah and his man feasted mid-battle were ptiched in the desert; palaces opened onto fountains and gardens; lovers, bathers, game-players, and warriors all had their place within a single panorama. The artists captured it all, often spending months filling in their small paintings with minute detail to render the whole world on a single page. With their unique techniques, they applied lapis lazuli, malachite, silver, and gold throughout their art. In these exquisitely portrayed settings, a world of great luxury and delicacy unfolds on every folio - each realized in the shimmering, jewel-like paintings that delight the eye and please the mind. The author traces the historical developments of Safavid Rule, provides commentaries on each painting, and clarifies the fine points. Good/No Jacket.
