The Pleasures of Virtue and the Virtues of Pleasure: The Classicizing Garden in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century China and Byzantium. Medieval Worlds|Movement and Mobility & Ideologies of Translation, III - Volume 13. 2021 medieval worlds Volume 13. 2021|
No full textDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries in Byzantium and China, the garden as a site of pleasure was an important literary theme among literati. Although pleasure had long been associated with gardens prior to this period, its simultaneous resurgence in both cultures was specifically linked to new ways of engaging with the classical tradition. This paper explores the nature and significance of the discourse of pleasure in the imagination of gardens in these two culturally distinct, but historically resonant, imperial societies. Noting important parallels and divergences in the literature surrounding pleasurable gardens in the two traditions, it argues that the garden as a site of pleasure was more than a document of the carefree pleasures of communing with nature. Instead, it was a declaration among literati – constrained by their place in a vast imperial bureaucratic system – of their agency, their integrity and, above all, their virtue. Far from being just a psychological or affective state, the pleasures they documented were a testimony of their freedom and moral authority in the face of a vast political order upon which they depended, but that also required their participation and validation as the bearers of the authoritative classical tradition that sustained the very imperial project. As a site charged with references and allusions to the ancient past and its authoritative voices, the garden provided an optimal arena in which those literati retreating from the front lines of official duty could fashion the conditions of their own pleasure, and thereby display their virtue, assert their autonomy and bring to fulfillment their human potentiality
Streit um „No. 1759“ – die Wachsmoulage als begehrtes Medium. VIRUS - Beiträge zur Sozialgeschichte der Medizin|VIRUS. Beiträge zur Sozialgeschichte der Medizin Band 19. Schwerpunkt: Objekte als Quellen der Medizingeschichte|
No full textA close look at collection items is an important key to further investigation. However, a stepback from the actual objects, and a search for broader contexts may offer insights that withinthe actual disciplinary field might be overlooked. This paper aims to follow the historical tracesof the dermatological wax moulages in the Würzburg collection. Therefore, it sheds light onthe actors and networks in the process of the production of the popular atlas by Eduard Jacobi,continued by Karl Zieler, that is very much linked to this collection. A broader historical networkis revealed by giving more attention to competitive Josef Jadassohn. Archive material of theJulius Springer publishing house in Berlin turns out to be a fruitful source of information aboutrelationships between doctors as authors, publishers, craftsmen like Alfons Kröner and thehistoricaleconomic situation. Thus, the examined case of moulage “no. 1759” representsa) the dialectics of showing as much as possible in the atlas and keeping the copyright for asmany reproduction models, and at the same time illustrates b) how important well-made andexclusive images are in the realm of modern scientific publishing. Also, uncertainties in thedevelopment of copyright and publishing contracts arise
Conformal moduli of symmetric circular quadrilaterals with cusps. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis
No full textWe investigate moduli of planar circular quadrilaterals that are symmetric with respect to both coordinate axes. First we develop an analytic approach that reduces this problem to ODEs and then devise a numerical method to find out the accessory parameters. This method uses the Schwarz equation to determine a conformal mapping of the unit disk onto a given circular quadrilateral. We also give an example of a circular quadrilateral for which the value of the conformal modulus can be found in analytic form. This example is used to validate the numeric calculations. We also apply another method, the so called hpFEM, for the numerical calculation of the moduli. These two different approaches provide results agreeing with high accuracy
La sezione sui colori nel glossario degli Hermeneumata Celtis. Edizione critica e commento. Wiener Studien|Wiener Studien 134 134|
No full textThe article provides a critical edition of chapter 32, περί χρωμάτων, of the Latin-Greek glossary of the so-called Hermeneumata Celtis (ms. Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek suppl. Gr. 43, fol. 37v). The commentary compares each item with the analogous pairs present in the glossaries of the Corpus glossariorum Latinorum. Furthermore, various exegetical questions are addressed, e. g. album / λευκόφαιον (ms. λευκοφγον), “whitish”; asperum / τραχύ, “white”; viscinum / ἰξιοειδές, “of the colour of mistletoe”, perhaps “red”; veneteum / πελιόν, “livid”; varium / διάπερκον, “dusky” or “spotted”
