Book Description
Las normas que se han seguido en el estudio de las marcas de agua del siglo XVIII han sido muy parecidas a las de los primeros. En este caso, el estudio se ha centrado en diez archivos, unos estatales y otros eclesiásticos. El desglose de los documentos de Galicia en zonas representadas por los distintos archivos, puede ser una ventaja al intentar datar un documento sin fecha, orientándonos por las filigranas encontradas en los papeles de su zona de procedencia, conservados en el archivo correspondiente. En la edición del trabajo figura para cada archivo un prólogo escrito por el Director del mismo dando noticia de la historia y contenido del archivo y qué parte del mismo se ha estudiado, en lo que a filigranas se refiere. A continuación figuran las láminas de filigranas y, al final, la relación de documentos. También un índice de nombres y otros de letra y grupos de letras.

Book Description
Mestizo: a person of mixed blood; specifically, a person of mixed European and American Indian ancestry. Serge Gruzinski, the renowned historian of Latin America, offers a brilliant, original critique of colonization and globalization in The Mestizo Mind. Looking at the fifteenth-century colonization of Latin America, Gruzinski documents the mélange that resulted: colonized mating with colonizers; Indians joining the Catholic Church and colonial government; and Amerindian visualizations of Jesus and Perseus. These physical and cultural encounters created a new culture, a new individual, and a phenomenon we now call globalization. Revealing globalization's early origins, Gruzinski then fast forwards to the contemporary mélange seen in the films of Peter Greenaway and Wong Kar-Wai to argue that over 500 years of intermingling has produced the mestizo mind, a state of mixed thinking that we all possess. A masterful alchemy of history, anthropology, philosophy and visual analysis, The Mestizo Mind definitively conceptualizes the clash of civilizations in the style of Homi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak and Anne McClintock.

Book Description
Bibliophiles in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century began to take a serious interest in the manuscripts of the Middle East and the paper on which they were written. Perhaps the most important of these men were C.-M. Briquet working in Geneva, and J. Wiesner and J. von Karabacek working in Vienna. All three were concerned with the burning topic of the moment: Was oriental paper made of cotton? Within the space of two years these three writers published seminal articles for the European study of Arab paper. Das Arabische Papier is one of those articles. The late Don Baker's inspiration to set about the translation and interpretation of this work was 'simply the desire to know the contents of this much quoted article'. Students, historians, curators, collectors, conservators and all those interested in the historical development and spread of papermaking will realise why Don Baker wished to make this important text available to English readers. This Archetype edition is a revised edition of the volume, which Don Baker produced in 1991.
