The Book of Common Prayer 1559: The Elizabethan Prayer Book
John E. Booty's edition of The Book of Common Prayer, 1559, first published by the University Press of Virginia for the Folger Shakespeare Library in 1976 and long out of print, is now being reissued in the same handsome format as the original edition. In her foreword to the 2005 reissue, Judith Maltby writes, "It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of the 1559 Prayer Book. . . . Shakespeare was clearly shaped by a culture in which the vernacular was remarkably vigorous." Booty's text derives from a rare copy of the Elizabethan Prayer Book printed by Richard Jugge and John Cawode in 1559, now part of the Josiah Benton Collection of the Boston Public Library. Booty modernized spelling and punctuation, but took care not to distort the style and cadence of the Elizabethan text. To place the Prayer Book in its original cultural setting, he wrote a lengthy critical essay that traces the book's history and use during the sixteenth century. Helpful bibliographical notes enable readers to appreciate all the nuances of particular services and their contents. Particularly useful are the general index and the index of biblical passages, features unavailable in other editions of the Prayer Book. Through this magnificent document one begins to understand not only the Anglican church but also the Elizabethan culture in which Shakespeare lived, for this was one of the books that helped shape Renaissance England in all of its vitality and greatness. As Booty reminds the reader in his preface, each Sunday "in the parish churches and in the cathedrals the nation was at prayer, the commonwealth was being realized, and God, in whose hands the destinies of all were lodged, was worshiped in spirit and in truth.".

Des Wahnsinns Fette Beute / The Fat Booty Of Madness: The Goldsmithing Class at Munich Art Academy
Emotional, provocative, conceptual, imaginative, risky, profound, crazy, obstinate, colourful, strict, personal, sophisticated, playful - the jewellery class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich shows itself to be multi-faceted, unconventional in the extreme and undogmatic Since 1991 the class has been taught by Professor Otto Künzli, a Swiss goldsmith. At ARNOLDSCHE, the international publishers for contemporary auteur jewellery, a compendious book has just come off the presses - to mark the occasion of the exhibition mounted at the Neue Sammlung in Munich to celebrate the bicentenary of the Art Academy - covering the work of current and former Künzli students since 1991. This new publication reflects the diversity of their work in over 1,000 illustrations. The students of this Swiss professor certainly do not come from Germany alone; artists in jewellery converge on Munich from Korea, Australia, Japan, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and the US. Diversity which has grown out of the heterogeneity of all those distinctive cultures. A balance between individuality and community informs the spirit of the Künzli class, which is renowned worldwide. Essays by Maribel Königer, Ellen Maurer Zilioli and Otto Künzli himself as well as a foreword by Florian Hufnagl introduce the subject matter and make it abundantly clear that the current generation of art jewellery is not at all behind other aesthetic disciplines nowadays. On the contrary, it "has long since abandoned the antiquated commitment to beauty" (Maurer Zilioli) yet, in so doing, has retained its distinguishing quality: the "specific link between the object and that human being that is uniquely peculiar to jewellery" (Otto Künzli). Never have jewellery and fine art been closer than in The Fat Booty of Madness. A 520-page encyclopaedia of contemporary art jewellery that does honour - in the best sense of the word - to its name....
