de la

Commission officielle instituée par le

Conseil communal de la ville d'Anvers

pour la publication des documents

relatifs à la vie et aux

oeuvres de Rubens

 

In 1974 we published a reprint edition of Charles Ruelens & Max Rooses' Correspondance de Rubens et Documents Epistolaires concernant sa vie et ses oeuvres (5 vols. in folio, orig. published from 1886-1892); in 1977 we reprinted Max Rooses' L'oeuvre de Rubens, 5 vols., orig. publ. from 1886-1892. Both reprint editions have been received well in the art historical world.

As we received the information that the BULLETIN - RUBENS, originally published from 1882-1900, is very often lacking in art historical libraries, we have decided to undertake a reprint edition of this work which contains so much further information on the life of Rubens. A special brochure with an extensive description of the contents is available on request.

The Rubens-Bulletin remains an invaluable source for archival documents on Rubens and his family published  above all by P. Génard and C. Ruelens. In addition it comprises Max Rooses' Addenda and Corrigenda to his five volumes: L'oeuvre de P.P. Rubens. It's scarcity in American libraries would make a reprint most desirable.

Republishing this set is certainly interesting. Even though a few facts have been rendered out of date by later publications, the set is still important as a basic source for Rubens Studies.
