Omstreeks 1900 maakte de Leuvense fotograaf Edouard Morren een unieke fotoreportage over de Leuvense universiteitsgebouwen. De 78 foto's werden ingebonden in een luxueus foto-album, dat op het Leuvense universiteitsarchief wordt bewaard. Deze vernieuwde uitgave maakt het album nu toegankelijk voor een ruim publiek en voorziet het van commentaar. De foto's laten ons toe een rondgang te maken langs de toenmalige universiteitsgebouwen: auditoria, laboratoria, tekenzalen en snijzalen, leeszalen en boekerijen, de universitaire apotheek, de melkerij en de brouwerij van het Landbouwinstituut. Van heel wat getoonde interieurs waren geen afbeeldingen bekend. Het boek biedt niet alleen een vrij volledig overzicht van de hele universiteit, het besteedt ook ruim aandacht aan de laboratoria die getuigen van de opkomende verwetenschappelijking van het academisch onderwijs. Around 1900 the Louvain photographer Edouard Morren made a unique photo report of the university buildings. The 78 photographs were bound in a luxurious album, which is now preserved at the Louvain university archives. This new edition reproduces the numerous views of the most important sites of the university as well as photo's of interiors that had never been documented before. A special focus is on the various laboratory facilities, that testify to the emerging scientific tradition of the university.

Biography of one of the twentieth century's greatest historiansHenri Pirenne (1862-1935) was a Belgian historian of international stature. He had an intellectual reputation that extended far beyond the borders of his own country. The Histoire de Belgique, which he published in the early decades of the twentieth century, was regarded as a model of innovative national history. His ideas about the development of the medieval city attracted attention, and his thesis on the influence of Islam on European history initiated a debate that continues today. Pirenne is now established as one of the twentieth century's greatest historians, who inspired not just a whole generation of French historians, but numerous other European and American intellectuals too.This book is not merely a writer's oeuvre. It is a life in pictures: Pirenne's biography is probingly enhanced by means of original and attractive pictorial material. The photos illustrate how the historian was intellectually formed and how his career developed. They illuminate the growth of his oeuvre and the rise of his reputation. They depict his teachers and friends. They recapture the events at which he was honoured, and his wartime exile.Henri Pirenne, Historian: A Life in Pictures opens to view the work and life of an historian whose significance continues to be recognised well beyond the confines of his own discipline.
