  • Château Minuty
    CHÂTEAU MINUTY Brought to life in 2014, Minuty’s modern tasting room (pictured) and cellar is perfectly situated on the hillsides overlooking the Bay of St. Tropez. “M” de Minuty Limited Edition Rosé 2019 Côtes de Provence, France ESTATE Château Minuty is the global leader in Côtes de Provence rosé, and beyond that it can be argued is the most important estate in the history of Provence rosé. The Saint-Tropez based, family owned estate has been, since its founding, one of the quality leaders for the region. Minuty then became one of the most visible producers in the second half of the 20th century, a result of quality production and commercial foresight when no one in the region could imagine the global phenomenon Provence rosé would become. And then in the last two decades, Minuty defined the vision for and led the unbelievable growth in Provence rosé around the globe. All this achieved by a family estate now in its third generation, led by two brothers overseeing all the vineyard work, winemaking and sales. WINE Minuty invites you to savor the essence of the French Riviera with its third M de Minuty Limited Edition bottle. This year’s iconic M de Minuty “Bouteille Provencale” breathes new life through the vibrant designs of Barcelona based visual artists Zosen Bandido and Mina Hamada. Illustrating the world of Minuty through the Mediterranean sea, sun and soil, this eye- catching bottle invites you to picture yourself on the beach enjoying all the pleasures of summer. VINEYARD M de Minuty comes entirely from hand harvested grapes grown in the Côtes de Provence, making it perhaps the only major regional wine that is still hand harvested.

In does so by examining one of the most prominent humanists of the European Republic of Let- ters: the Leiden classical scholar Jacob Perizonius (1651–1715). Through analysis of Peri- zonius’s unpublished lectures on universal history, it explores how ‘classicists’ (long before they commonly identified as such) could command geographies and tempo- ralities far distant from Greco-Roman antiquity. Late humanist classical scholars like Perizonius used the ancient genre of universal history or historia universalis to com- bine everything from the fall of Rome to the emergence of Renaissance Europe into a single continuous narrative. In so doing, Perizonius helped forge a via media between antiquity and modernity at a moment when self-identified “ancients” and “moderns” * I wish to thank Mordechai Feingold for inviting me to write this article and for his generous assistance throughout the process. I am also most grateful to Anthony Grafton for his many insights into Perizonius and his expert guidance through the world of humanist scholarship. As I was finishing this article I greatly benefited from participation in a discussion group with Anton Matytsin and Thomas Wallnig on the history of early modern historiography.

  • Press File 2019 Edition
    Press file 2019 Edition Arles, Celebrated by artists and photographers, Arles reverberates all year round with rich cultural events. Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, the couturier Christian Lacroix, the photographer Lucien Clergue… they all underlined the light and picturesque beauty of the city. Their creative energy can be found in world-famous international events such as the Rencontres de la Photographie, the “Suds à Arles” music festival, or the opening of the Luma Foundation, an experimental contemporary art center, crowned by Franck Gehry’s tower. Narrow streets, shady squares, hidden passageways, vibrating terraces, the banks of the Rhone River, the superb Provençal market, Arles is a city that takes the time to live. In each successive season the festival-goers, the aficionados, animate the city : Easter feria, traditional costume festivals, Christmas Fun… Festivals have become a tradition. Or the opposite! Everything is an excuse to make merry, to celebrate the history and the beautiful Arlesian dress costumes. The language, the dress, bullfighting, Camargue bull games… Over ten major festivals take place each year and attract the crowds. Rome, then Arles, listed on the UNESCO world heritage list. The Roman heritage monuments of Arles are unique and well preserved. This heritage is visible on every street corner : Amphitheater (Arena), Roman Theater, Baths of Constantine, the Cryptoportico, the Alyscamps, the mosaics and Roman barge displayed in the Arles Archaeological Museum… “Arelate” is reborn before our visitors’ eyes. Other remarkable survivors, the buildings dating from the Romanesque period, such as St. Trophime’s church and cloisters, are superb. Last but not least, Arles is a stopover on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Campostela.

  • Ford Madox Ford: Travel Writing in Provence
    FORD MADOX FORD: TRAVEL WRITING IN PROVENCE ALICE BAILEY CHEYLAN Laboratoire Babel EA 2649, Université de Toulon Abstract: Ford Madox Ford is known as a novelist, essayist, poet and literary critic, but very rarely as a travel writer. Yet he did turn to travel writing later in life, producing a mixture of memoir, historical writing and ode to place. This short paper analyzes Ford Madox Ford’s description of southern France in his travel book Provence From Minstrels to the Machine, first published in 1935. Keywords: Ford Madox Ford, British expatriate, Provence, travel writing 1. Introduction Ford Madox Ford is known as a novelist, essayist, poet and literary critic, but very rarely as a travel writer. Yet he did turn to travel writing later in life, producing a mixture of memoir, historical writing and ode to place. He was not the first British or American writer to embark on a journey to live and write in France. He had perhaps been inspired by his literary predecessors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, who had recounted his impressions of France in his famous Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes, published in 1879, or Henry James, whose travel book A Little Tour of France was published in 1884. Neither was he alone among his contemporaries to document his discoveries. Edith Wharton had embarked on three automobile tours of the country in 1906 and 1907, while Ezra Pound had traced the footsteps of the troubadours on his walking tour through southern France in 1912. Then in the interwar years, numerous writers took advantage of the new technology, which so facilitated travel and their renewed possibility to discover France.

  • Rambles on the Riviera
    Rambles on the Riviera by M. F. Mansfield RAMBLES ON THE RIVIERA CHAPTER I. A PLEA FOR PROVENCE “À Valence, le Midi commence!” is a saying of the French, though this Rhône-side city, the Julia-Valentia of Roman times, is in full view of the snow-clad Alps. It is true, however, that as one descends the valley of the torrential Rhône, from Lyons southward, he comes suddenly upon a brilliancy of sunshine and warmth of atmosphere, to say nothing of many differences in manners and customs, which are reminiscent only of the southland itself. Indeed this is even more true of Orange, but a couple of scores of miles below, whose awning-hung streets, and open-air workshops are as brilliant and Italian in motive as Tuscany itself. Here at Orange one has before him the most wonderful old Roman arch outside of Italy, and an amphitheatre so great and stupendous in every way, and so perfectly preserved, that he may well wonder if he has not crossed some indefinite frontier and plunged into the midst of some strange land he knew not of. The history of Provence covers so great a period of time that no one as yet has attempted to put it all into one volume, hence the lover of wide reading, with Provence for a subject, will be able to give his hobby full play. The old Roman Provincia, and later the mediæval Provence, were prominent in affairs of both Church and State, and many of the momentous incidents which resulted in the founding and aggrandizing of the French nation had their inception and earliest growth here.
