New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Founded in 1987, Portikus is one of the most important alternative exhibition spaces in the world. This catalogue studies its role in the art world and the seminal exhibitions which have been held at its beautiful premises in Frankfurt am Main.

This book is a history of the initiative, its projects and actors, notably the architect and planner Ernst May, and its achievements, set within the turbulent context of the Weimar decade. It chronicles its many accomplishments: the construction of housing settlements, innovations in construction and materials, the parks and garden colonies program, innovations in school, medical facility and church design, reforms in woman’s sphere, and a crafting of New Life culture. It examines the New Frankfurt am Main in light of the social and political debates that shaped it and the works it produced, and describes the relationship of work and theory to contemporary reform movements. Finally, the narrative underscores the gulf between the idyll of modernity and the political and social realities of life in a Germany on the brink of collapse.

This innovative study of urban liberalism in the most liberal major city in Imperial Germany goes well beyond anything currently available. The author draws on original archival sources to examine the nature of German liberalism from the annexation of Prussia to the outbreak of the First World War.

This work by Jeremias Held is the second German translation of the emblems of Andrea Alciato, who is rightfully known as pater et princes of the emblem. The first German translation was written by Wolfgang Hunger and published by Chrestien Wechel in a bi-lingual Latin-German edition in Paris in 1542. Hunger's German version was reprinted in facsimile in 1967 and 1980. Held's version of 1566-67, presented here, has never before been offered in its entirety in a modern reprint. It, too, is a bi-lingual edition with the Latin texts followed by Held's German version. However, the two prefaces are in German alone. Held's version contains 132 woodcuts in text to Alciato's 212 emblems. The facsimile reprint has been done from Glasgow University Library SM 45.

From a manuscript that was lost for more than half a century comes new information about one of the greatest Jewish communities of all time. The court diary of Rabbi ?ayyim Gundersheim (d. 1795), a member of the rabbinic court of late eighteenth-century Frankfurt, sheds light on daily life in the Judengasse ("Jewish lane"), home to over 3,000 people, including Meyer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the famous banking family. Familial quarrels, squabbles between neighbors, legal proceedings over business deals gone sour, real estate transactions, and other disputes brought before the rabbinic court offer a window onto the world of daily life in the Frankfurt Jewish community in the waning years of the city's ghetto. Yet, Rabbi ?ayyim Gundersheim's diary is more than just a prism through which to view daily life. A Window on Their World provides a transcription of over 200 cases that were brought before the rabbinic court between 1773 and 1794-records that reveal the workings of the Jewish community and the place of Jewish tradition on the eve of the Enlightenment. Edward Fram not only provides readers with an English language summary of each case, but offers indices of the names of all individuals mentioned in the diary as well as a glossary of non-Hebrew terms. Pertinent documents from the Frankfurt pinqas, or community record book, have also been provided in order to give readers a more complete picture wherever possible. Fram's introduction to the diary includes a biographical background, an outline of Jewish legal autonomy in the early modern period, and a discussion of the importance of court documents as legal and historical sources.

The Great Illusion. Illusionistic sculptures are not an invention of our times. The endeavor to make sculptures as realistic as possible goes back four-and-a-half-thousand years. The magnificently illustrated volume provides an overview of veristic sculptures throughout the ages, as well as insights into the history of the materials and techniques with which they were created.

Frankfurt am Main, seat of many foreign and domestic banks (including the Bundesbank) and since 1998 also of the European Central Bank, is today among the most important financial centres in Europe. The city's history as a key location for banking and finance is not confined to the post-war years. Its beginnings go well back into the Early Modern period and even into the Middle Ages. Carl-Ludwig Holtfrerich shows how intricately that history is interwoven with the cultural, social and political development of Frankfurt. His book makes for fascinating reading and will appeal not just to economic historians but to anyone interested in the links between past and present.
