Soft Cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English and Norwegian. 236 pp. This publication presents Finnish and Norwegian art from a bygone era when myths, folk tales, legends, and national history were all the rage, and stems from a joint exhibition organized by the National Museum in Norway and the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum. The book features several essays that situate this art within the wider context of late-nineteenth-century European symbolism. At the time, Nordic art was considered to embody a primeval force and a timeless wisdom, something that fascinated the leading thinkers of the day. This richly illustrated catalogue takes the reader on a journey towards The Magic North, with artists such as Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Gerhard Munthe, Hugo Simberg, Theodor Kittelsen, and Pekka Halonen.

Summary Peter of Pisa was among the scholars invited by Charlemagne to his court in the late 780s, and, according to Einhard, Charlemagne's biographer, he taught grammar to the Emperor himself. The present book offers a critical edition of the textbook on grammar that Peter composed while teaching in the palatine school. It has survived in three versions, which enable us to see, how Peter's ideas on language pedagogy developed, when new grammatical works and methods of teaching became accessible to scholars in the court circle. Grammatical education was at the heart of the Carolingian reform of learning, which owed many of its crucial features to Alcuin of York. His teaching of the Liberal Arts assigned major importance to the use of dialectic in all intellectual inquiry, including the study of grammar. This new approach to grammar, which is first attested in the works of Peter of Pisa and Alcuin, affected not only the advanced study of grammar but even secondary level pedagogy. Interaction between grammar and logic became standard practice with the subsequent generations of grammarians, establishing itself as a permanent feature of medieval culture from the eleventh century onwards. It is to this intellectual context that Peter's manual on grammar is related in the present book. TABLE OF CONTENTS Petrus Pisanus - Grammatica - ed. A. Luhtala, A. Reinikka 0 g.
