Taschen cynicism
Do not buy this version, buy the original: Hieronymus Bosch (World of Art)
The original is the book written by Walter Gibson.
Taschen republished this book by Gibson, but used an anagram of his name to create a fictional "Bosing". The copyright to the text is held by Thames & Hudson. One wonders what it was that prevented Walter Gibson asserting his "moral rights".
It is great to see that this publication by the cynical opportunists, Taschen, is no longer in print!

A nice representation of Bosch.
This is definitely a good introduction to Hieronymus Bosch. Not only does it detail the life of this rather enigmatic artist, but it also has an excellent selection of his artwork. His work is well-represented and well-researched with informed analyses. A solid, unique, and interesting book. Certainly worth the price. ... Read more

Excerpt:Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri (Arabic : ) was the last of the Mamluk Sultans. One of the last of the Burji dynasty , he reigned from 1501 to 1516. On the disappearance of Sultan Al-Adil Sayf ad-Din Tuman bay I , it was not till after some days that the choice of the Emirs and Mamluks fell upon Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri. As Circassian slave, he had served Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qaitbay ; was over forty before he was raised to independence as Emir of ten; and then, rapidly promoted to command of Tarsus , Aleppo and Malatia , he became Emir of a thousand, Chamberlain of the Court , and chief Vizier . At first he declined the throne; but being pressed by the Emirs, who swore faithful service, he at last consented. He was now 60 years of age; but, still firm and vigorous, soon showed the Emirs that he was not to be overruled by any of them. Consolidation of Power The reign began as usual with the removal of all Tuman bay s I adherents. As dangerous to the throne, they were laid hold of, imprisoned or exiled and their property escheated; while the opposite party were restored to freedom and raised again to power and office. Tuman bay I from his hiding-place was found to be plotting against the new Sultan; after some weeks, betrayed by his friends, he... ... Read more

Excerpt: Alanya -The city has changed hands many times over the centuries, and its name has reflected this. Alanya was known in Latin as Coracesium or in Greek as Korakesion from the Luwian Korakassa meaning "point/protruding city". Under the Byzantine Empire it become known as Kalonoros or Kalon Oros, meaning "beautiful/fine mountain" in Greek. The Seljuks renamed the city Alaiye (), a derivative of the Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I's name. In the 13th and 14th centuries, Italian traders called the city Candelore or Cardelloro. In his 1935 visit, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk finalized the name in the new alphabet as Alanya, changing the 'i' and 'e' in Alaiye, reportedly because of a misspelled telegram in 1933. Piri Reis map of Alanya from 1525 showing the extent of the medieval city and the location on the Pamphylia plain.Although first fortified in the Hellenistic period following the area's conquest by Alexander the Great, the castle rock was likely inhabited under the Hittites and the Persian Empire.

A Phoenician language tablet found in the district dates to , and the city is specifically mentioned in the 4th-century BC Greek geography manuscript, the periplus of Pseudo-Scylax. Alexander's successors left the area to Ptolemy I Soter after .
