Banchs, Enrique Poeta argentino, nacido en Buenos Aires, cuya obra es una continua busca de formas clásicas. Ajeno a toda efusión sentimental, Banchs publicó sólo cuatro libros en su juventud: Las barcas El libro de los elogios El cascabel del halcón (1909) y La urna (1911), para luego sumirse en un voluntario silencio poético de más de medio siglo. Borges, quien le dedica un soneto en Los conjurados, consideraba a Enrique Banchs como el primer poeta argentino y a su libro La urna "un libro intemporal, porque sería igualmente admirable si se hubiera publicado cien años antes o si se publicara cien años después. Un libro que sólo puede definirse por su perfección: no encuentro otra definición posible." En diciembre de 1936 publicó en la revista El Hogar un ensayo titulado "Enrique Banchs ha cumpli

"Fonthill Bishop - a village with a past " The village of Fonthill Bishop, 15 miles west of Salisbury, is one of Wiltshire's oldest villages with a fascinating history. The church was built around 1240, and is an excellent example of 13th century stonework. Although it was restored and rebuilt in the 19th century it still retains carvings and pews from the 13th century onwards. Visitors to the village should also visit the famous arch across the road from the church, built, it's said, by Inigo Jones for Lord Cottington who bought the Fonthill estate from the notorious Castlehaven family in around 1640 after a sexual scandal resulted in the 3rd Lord Castlehaven being beheaded on Tower Hill in London. This was not to be the estate's last brush with scandal. It was sold to William Beckford Sr in the 1750s. But the scandal does not concern him, rather, his son, also named William, who, over his long lifetime (1760-1844) built up a huge collection of books, paintings furniture and objets d'art which he housed at Fonthill. He was a writer of Gothic novels and travel books, a composer of music, a landscape designer, and exceedingly rich. However, his reputation was scandalous, mainly because of his sexuality. In 1784 he was forced to flee to the Continent when news of his affair with William Courtenay of Powderham. On his return he retired behind The Barrier, an eight-mile long wall surrounding all 519 acres of his estate at Fonthill, to live in isolation.

(3) Giovanni Bellini [Giambellino] b d Venice, 29 Nov 1516). Painter and draughtsman, son of (1) Jacopo Bellini. Although the professional needs of his family background may have encouraged him to specialize at an early date in devotional painting, by the 1480s he had become a leading master in all types of painting practised in 15th-century Venice. Later, towards the end of his long life, he added the new genres of mythological painting and secular allegory to his repertory of subject-matter. His increasing dominance of Venetian art led to an enormous expansion of his workshop after c . 1490; and this provided the training-ground not only for his numerous shop-hands and imitators (generically known as Belliniani) but probably also for a number of major Venetian painters of the next generation. Throughout his career, Giovanni showed an extraordinary capacity for absorbing a wide range of artistic influences, both from within Venetian tradition and from outside. He also oversaw a technical revolution in the art of painting, involving the gradual abandonment of the traditional Italian use of egg tempera in favour of the technique of oil painting pioneered in the Netherlands. It was thanks to Giovanni Bellini that the Venetian school of painting was transformed during the later 15th century from one mainly of local significance to one with an international reputation. He thus set the stage for the triumphs of Venetian painting in the 16th century and for the central contribution that Venice was to make to the history of European art.

55. CDecor.com - Antiques Consultant Philip Hewat-Jaboor Advises American And Europe of pieces from the collections of Thomas Hope (17691831), a connoisseur, furnituredesigner and writer, and William Beckford (1760-1844), an antiquarian http://www.cdecor.com/magazine/jaboor.asp

September 2001 Antiques Hunter Italian scagliola tabletop, ca. 1725, attributed to Pietro Antonio Paoli Japanned side chair, ca. 1730 Regency painted and gilt wood torcheres designed by Thomas Hope One of a pair of George III gilt wood mirrors in the manner of John Linnell “I help clients who have achieved a certain economic status buy adult things,” antiques consultant Philip Hewat-Jaboor of London says of his career as a decorative and fine arts adviser helping European and American collectors acquire antique furniture, objects, fine arts, statues, marble chimneypieces and rare vases. Such advisers have existed since centuries past when pharaohs and kings amassed riches and plundered other kingdoms in their quest to attain vast amounts of wealth. Nowadays, the antiques advisory business is a lot more tame, and Hewat-Jaboor’s challenge is not so much acquiring antiques such as those shown on this page as educating clients on the endless possibilities in collecting and paying appropriate prices. “Clients may say they want English, but I’ll show them French and they realize they love it,” he says. “It’s about waking people up to unusual one-off things that are so exciting to find.” Discoveries have included a circa 1770 white marble English chimneypiece mounted with an elaborate running frieze of sunflowers and foliage cast in gilt bronze by Matthew Boulton, the renowned English metalworker; a Sèvres porcelain vase, one of three made in a deep violet, that has French royal provenance; and an early-19th-century Russian gilt-bronze mounted porphyry vase, which, Hewat-Jaboor later confirmed, was the mate to an Imperial piece made for Alexander I. “I knew it was important when I bought it, and I sold it to a longtime client. Then I saw its twin sitting in a Russian museum,” recounts Hewat-Jaboor, who has a reputation for uncovering great works of art.

58. TRM: Oriental Locales These classics can be found in his collected romances. One of the best, andmost bizarre writers in this genre was William Beckford (17601844). http://www.geocities.com/ruritanian_muglug/orient.html

Oriental Locales by Georges T. Dodds This article is a slightly modified and updated version of an article which first appeared in WARP (The Newsletter of the Montreal Science Fiction and Fantasy Association - MonSFFA This type of fantasy and horror very little science fiction is set in the Orient falls into essentially three categories: The 1001 Nights and derivatives, the Indian mythology/adventure, and the Far Eastern material. The 1001 Nights and its Derivatives The first European translation of The 1001 Nights was done by Antoine Galland, the "discoverer" of the text, under the title Les Mille et Une Nuits (Paris, 1704-1717,12 volumes). The 1001 Nights are probably representative of mediaeval Cairo in the time of the Memlook sultans and Baghdad under the Khalifate of the 8th-10th centuries A.D. Handed down orally, the first Arabic manuscripts date from the 15th century. While the English translation of Sir Richard Burton (no, not Liz Taylor's husband) is the most generally available and is unexpurgated, Edward William Lane's 1838-1840 translation ( Tudor , 1927; other eds.), while omitting sexually explicit passages, is considered by many to be the closest to the true spirit of the text, and like Burton's version, is copiously annotated.
