The First Viral Images

Maerten de Vos, Antwerp Print, and the Early Modern Globe

Stephanie Porras

“Briskly argued, this engaging volume tells a story of dispersive transmission and ‘distributed agency,’ focusing on the forms and functions of the multiple versions of St. Michael the Archangel produced in Antwerp, Spain, Peru, New Spain, and the Philippines between the 1580s and ca. 1700. Porras’s account is theoretically engaged—as witness her rejection of paradigms of ‘translation,’ ‘hybridization,’ or ‘circulation’—and her argument, precisely because she anchors it in a specific image and its afterlife, is entirely convincing”—Walter Melion, author of The Meditative Art: Studies in the Northern Devotional Print, 1550–1625

Motion, Voice, and Mood in the Semitic Verb

Henning Ambjörn Sjörs

“The formal connection of morphemes such as those between the Akkadian ventive and the Arabic energic has long been recognized, but a coherent description of the functional derivation has been lacking until now.
