Here Richard Krautheimer takes what Charles S. Lorenzo Ghiberti, sculptor and towering figure of the Renaissance, was the creator of the celebrated Bronze Doors of the Baptistery at Florence, a work that occupied him for twenty years and became known (at Michelangelo's suggestion, according to tradition) as the Doors of Paradise. Princeton Monographs in Art and Archaeology, 31. He is the author of numerous works, including the Pelican Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture and Rome: Profile of a City, 312-1308 (Princeton). Richard Krautheimer, Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, currently lives in Rome. Seymour, Jr., describes as "a fascinating journey into the mind, career, and inventiveness of one of the indisputably outstanding sculptors of all the Western tradition." This one-volume edition includes an extensive new preface and bibliography by the author. He then applies these theorems to show the rationality of some very general L-series. After a detailed analysis of the cohomology of curves and surfaces, Professor Milne proves the fundamental theorems in étale cohomology - those of base change, purity, Poincaré duality, and the Lefschetz trace formula.
The next two chapters concern the basic theory of étale sheaves and elementary étale cohomology, and are followed by an application of the cohomology to the study of the Brauer group. The author begins with a review of the basic properties of flat and étale morphisms and of the algebraic fundamental group. Milne offers this more elementary account covering the essential features of the theory. In order to provide an accessible introduction to étale cohomology, J. Yet until now, the work has been available only in the original massive and difficult papers. This work found many applications, not only in algebraic geometry, but also in several different branches of number theory and in the representation theory of finite and p-adic groups. Artin introduced étale cohomology in order to extend the methods of sheaf-theoretic cohomology from complex varieties to more general schemes. Grothendieck's work on algebraic geometry. One of the most important mathematical achievements of the past several decades has been A. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. Her books include Structures of Avarice: The Bukhala' in Medieval Arabic Literature (Leiden) and Blindness and Autobiography: Al-Ayyam of Taha Husayn (Princeton). Whereas woman in the classical period speaks through the body, woman in the modern period often turns corporeality into a literary weapon to achieve power over discourse.įedwa Malti-Douglas is Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature at the University of Texas, Austin. Showing how early Arabo-Islamic discourse continues to influence contemporary Arabic writing, she maintains that today feminist writers of novels, short stories, and autobiography must work through this tradition, even if they subvert or reject it in the end. Malti-Douglas first analyzes classical texts (both well-known works like The Thousand and One Nights and others still ignored in the West) in which the female voice, often associated with wit or trickery of a sexual nature, is subordinated to the male scriptor. Spanning the ninth through twentieth centuries and covering a wide range of texts-from courtly anectdote to mystical and philosophical treatises, from works of geography to autobiography-this study reveals how woman's access to literary speech has remained mediated through her body. Woman's voice and body are closely entwined in the Arabo-Islamic tradition, argues Fedwa Malti-Douglas in this pioneering book.
