  Visual Cultures of Secrecy in Early Modern Europe
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-11-2025, 02:58 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Secrets in all their variety permeated early modern Europe, from the whispers of ambassadors at court to the emphatically publicized books of home remedies that flew from presses and booksellers’ shops. This interdisciplinary volume draws on approaches from art history and cultural studies to investigate the manifestations of secrecy in printed books and drawings, staircases and narrative paintings, ecclesiastical furnishings and engravers’ tools. Topics include how patrons of art and architecture deployed secrets to construct meanings and distinguish audiences, and how artists and patrons manipulated the content and display of the subject matter of artworks to create an aura of exclusive access and privilege. Essays examine the ways in which popes and princes skillfully deployed secrets in works of art to maximize social control, and how artists, printers, and folk healers promoted their wares through the impression of valuable, mysterious knowledge."

  Exodus, the Path of Initiation: a free course
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-07-2025, 05:51 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"The book of Exodus hides a very kabbalistic and alchemical guidance since it goes directly into our psychosomatic selves. So, we are going to study how Exodus, which in Hebrew is named שמות Shemoth, hides precisely different kabbalistic clues and alchemical mysteries, written in order to guide those who want to enter into Eden or the promised land."
