In the beginning was the word, and in the Middle Ages were kings, princes, and high-ranking religious members whose wealth and influence produced illustrated bibles of extraordinary craftsmanship. This edition brings together 50 of the finest medieval bible manuscripts from the Austrian National Library. With examples from every epoch of the Middle Ages, the collection explores visualizations of the bible in various theological and historical contexts. In impeccable reproduction quality, these stunning images may be appreciated as much as art historical treasures as they are important religious artifacts.

Reese Annesley was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant leaving a message for her best friend to save her from her awful date, when a gorgeous stranger overhears and offers her some dating advice. She proceeds to tell him to mind his own damn business his own tall, handsome, full-of-himself damn business and goes back to her miserable date, though she can't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he catches her―and winks. When Chase Parker and his equally hot date suddenly appear at Reese's table, she's sure he's going to rat her out. But instead, he pretends he and Reese are old friends and joins them, telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about their fake childhood. And her date suddenly goes from boring to bizarrely exciting.

In order to protect her kingdom from the wrath of a vengeful goddess, Princess Candra must remain locked inside a tower for seven years. Seven long years without a friend―or a lover―by her side. And shut inside the tower with her? A Fellian, the enemy of her people, a fearsome warrior race complete with wings and claws and fangs. Nemeth is terrifying, cruel, and disturbingly magnetic. Candra should kill him for his supplies, but she’s desperate for his company…and his touch. As time inside the unchanging tower rolls on, Candra uncovers the man behind the stony facade. And when their tenure hits an unexpected snag, Candra and Nemeth are forced to make a difficult choice. They’ll need to face an outside world they no longer recognize, one that threatens their lives and their surprising love.

Brilla sobre mí un sol que invento, este verso de Nocturnidad del viento, detonó esta mirada central en la poesía de Mateo Morrison para mí, implicaba esta noción triple de cuerpo, naturaleza y sociedad, “brilla sobre mf expresaba la noción de cuerpo, de forma física, “un soP' indicaba la apertura de lo natural, el sol es un astro encendido del universo, pero este sol no es designado “el sol' sino “un sol”, es decir, de los soles posibles de aquel universo, sólo hablamos de uno, un sol, además, “que invento”, que estoy figurándome, estamos diciendo entonces que ese sol inventado pertenece al ámbito de la cultura, del conocimiento, del arte. Hay un vencimiento de la naturaleza por el arte.
