The viola da gamba was a central instrument in European music from the late 15th century well into the late 18th. In this comprehensive study, Bettina Hoffmann offers both an introduction to the instrument -- its construction, technique and history -- for the non-specialist, interweaving this information with a wealth of original archival scholarship that experts will relish. The book begins with a description of the instrument, and here Hoffmann grapples with the complexity of various names applied to this and related instruments. Following two chapters on the instrument's construction and ancestry, the core of the book is given to a historical and geographical survey of the instrument from its origins into the classical period. The book closes with a look at the revival of interest in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Laurent La Gamba Portraits et Autoportraits (32 illustrations couleur) Le peintre Laurent La Gamba traite ici du th me de l'autoportrait sous un angle la fois politique, pol mique et satirique. Pour l'artiste, l'autoportrait sert une mise en sc ne dichotomique et sym trique des st r otypes qui s'attachent l'identit occidentale. Ces oeuvres sur toile s'organisent ainsi autour des stigmates, marqueurs visuels socioculturels simplistes, que relaie la m diasph re. L'artiste inventorie ainsi tout un panth on de codifications physiques travers une s rie de sch matisations vestimentaires qui illustrent la division fondamentale, constitutive et pr caire du Moi. Cet inventaire, Laurent La Gamba le pousse jusqu' l'absurde, portant son comble l'absurdit m me des typologies, en explorant picturalement ces diff rentes possibilit s d'identification.
