We’re excited to announce that we had the pleasure of meeting Przemysław Strożek, co-editor of 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵-𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦 (1900-1945) at the EAM Conference in Cracow!
This volume, part of our 𝘈𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵-𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 series, explores the impact of modern sports—such as cycling, boxing, and football—on avant-garde movements like Cubism, Futurism, and Dada. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it sheds light on how sports shaped the aesthetics, culture, and politics of early 20th-century avant-garde.

🥘 Asked for his summer reading pick, digital communications manager Billy Sawyers nominated Brill's "Best of Delectable Foods and Dishes from al-Andalus and al-Maghrib."
He explains: "Nawal Nasrallah's epic translation of a cookbook from 13th-century Andalusia is making me long for more scholarly works that stimulate both intellect and appetite. This enormous book presents some beautiful illustrations alongside Ibn Razīn al-Tujībī’s 475 recipes – most of which sound pretty tasty, as well as being interesting historical documents. I'm looking forward to trying his aubergine omelet and following his advice for pickling lemons. Though I'm a bit less keen on the browned sparrows, soured with vinegar."
If this has whetted your appetite, you've got three days left to get 50% off this and other tempting titles now using code DGBSS24. Visit our website via the summer sale link in our bio!

Today, 23 August, is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, commemorating the 1791 uprising in what is now Haiti—a powerful demand for freedom that continues to resonate.
Days like this are important to inscribe the tragedy of the slave trade in everyone’s memory. As we reflect on our shared history and the ongoing fight for justice, we’ve highlighted six essential books that explore the legacy of the slave trade. Let’s learn from the past and work toward a future where dignity and human rights are upheld for all.

🎨 Brill’s iconic mantelpiece restored!
Back in 1750, Samuel Luchtmans I, the son of Brill’s founder, commissioned an allegorical mantelpiece by Nicolaas Reyers. It depicted Pallas Athena and Hermes, with Leiden professors as children, symbolizing learning and commerce. The painting, inspiring Brill’s logo for over a century, hung in Brill’s typesetting room until it required restoration after falling in 2022.
The frame was restored by a Leiden-based company specializing in antique furniture, and the canvas was treated by a professional restorer, who also touched up some discolored parts and applied a new layer of varnish. Now it is finally visible again in full glory in our canteen, the Plantijn!
Thank you to Arjan van Dijk, Brill’s Publishing Director for History, who offered a tour about the fascinating history and restoration of the piece to interested colleagues last month.
