No full textNa podstawie fromborskich archiwaliów miejskich i ksiąg metrykalnych Fromborka, Braniewa i Lidzbarka Warmińskiego autor przedstawił sylwetkę rajcy fromborskiego Jacobusa Zanetiego/Zanettiego (około 1661-1737) i dzieje jego rodziny ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem osoby jego syna Jacobusa Zanetiego/Zanettiego juniora (1735-1776), rzeźbiarza i od 1770 roku obywatela Starego Miasta Braniewa. Przy okazji zaprezentował także postacie dwóch innych rajców fromborskich: pochodzącego z Lidzbarka Warmińskiego Michaela Knorra (1683-1722) i wywodzącego się najpewniej ze wsi Skolity w komornictwie dobromiejskim Joannesa Constantinusa Herdera (około 1677-1742), powiązanych rodzinnie z rajcą Jacobusem Zanetim/Zanettim.Drawing on Frombork town’s archive and the metric books of Frombork, Braniewo and Lidzbark Warmiński, the author considers the figure of Jacobus Zaneti/Zanetti, a councilor of Frombork (c. 1661–1737) and the activities of his family, in particular his son Jacobus Zaneti/
Zanetti junior (1735–1776), a sculptor and from 1770 a citizen of the Old Town of Braniewo. In addition, he also considers the biographies of two other Frombork councilors: Michael Knorr (1683–1722) from Lidzbark Warmiński and Joannes Constantinus Herder (1677–1742), who
probably came from the village of Skolity in the Dombromiejski district, with familial connections to the circle of councilor Jacobus Zanetti/Zanetti

Biocultural rights: Walking the distance between traditions
No full textThe author engages with some of the main theses that Sajeva faces in her book. Bio-cultural rights seem to realize an alternative approach, different from the traditional and “Western” one, when environment conservation is at stake. On the other hand, they are also perfectly understandable, because they seem to revolve around some key notions which are well-known within Western culture. Such a complexity calls for a scrutiny of the possible impact that bio-cultural rights may have on the relationships between individuals and groups, culture ad institutions, rights and duties

Forecasting banknotes
No full textA central bank’s liquidity forecast is important in ensuring that it supplies the banking system’s need for central bank money. Banknote (or currency in circulation) demand is the largest and for some central banks the most variable component of the liquidity forecast. Accurate forecasting of banknotes is essential in ensuring an accurate liquidity forecast and in turn effective monetary policy implementation. This Handbook discusses these issues and outlines a structural time series state space (STSSS) model which is now used by central banks including the Bank of England and ECB to forecast banknotes (currency in circulation).Forecasting banknotes
Giustizia divina e invasioni saracene: comportamenti "non taumaturgici" nel bios di san Saba da Collesan (seconda metà X secolo)
No full textThe protagonists of Italo-Greek hagiographies of the X-XII centuries appear to be endowed with medical knowledge obtained through the reading of Classical works; however, the ritual aspects in the description of healing miracles in their bioi are equally important. This paper presents an analysis of episodes of the life of St. Sabas of Col- lesano, written at the end of the X century by Orestes, patriarch of Jerusalem, where the saint performs healing rituals comparable to those of the other Italo-Greek bioi, except that he does not seem able to heal his patients and limits himself to predicting their prognosis. The author links such episodes to the new wave of Arab raids in Calabria in the second half of the X century, with its aftermath of famines and epidemics. “Non thaumaturgical” behaviour such as that of St Sabas could therefore reveal the difficulty of reconciling the faith in a providential plan with the recurrent misfortunes experienced by the population. It highlights the helplessness of the saint in providing the locals with material help, while on the other hand the emphasis on his prophetical skills re-establishes faith in a divine plan operating even in these circumstances
