FIGURE 1 in All genera of the world: an overview and estimates based on the March 2020 release of the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG)
No full textFIGURE 1. Kingdom-level breakdown of IRMNG content (March 2020 version) by estimated numbers of accepted genera. Note, "Algae" of older treatments no longer appear as a kingdom, being now distributed among Plantae, Chromista and Protozoa, with former "blue-green algae" (Cyanobacteria) now within Bacteria. Kingdom Chromista of this scheme (based on Ruggiero et al. 2015) corresponds approximately to the "SAR" (or Sar) supergroup (Stramenopiles, Alveolates and Rhizaria) of other schemes e.g. that of Adl et al. (2019), with the addition of Cryptista, Haptophyta, Picozoa and Telonemia.Published as part of Rees, Tony, Vandepitte, Leen, Vanhoorne, Bart & Decock, Wim, 2020, All genera of the world: an overview and estimates based on the March 2020 release of the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG), pp. 123-140 in Megataxa 1 (2) on page 129, DOI: 10.11646/megataxa.1.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/387531

Introduction - Law, Christianity and Secularization in the Low Countries
No full textWhat impact has Christianity had on law and policies in the Lowlands from the eleventh century through the end of the twentieth century? Taking the gradual 'secularization' of European legal culture as a framework, this volume explores the lives and times of twenty legal scholars and professionals to study the historical impact of the Christian faith on legal and political life in the Low Countries. The process whereby Christian belief systems gradually lost their impact on the regulation of secular affairs passed through several stages, not in the least the Protestant Reformation, which led to the separation of the Low Countries in a Protestant North and a Catholic South in the first place. The contributions take up general issues such as the relationship between justice and mercy, Christianity and politics as well as more technical topics of state-church law, criminal law and social policy
Martinus Becanus, On the Duty to Keep Faith with Heretics
No full textThis work offers an extraordinary perspective on the early modern debates about toleration and the binding force of agreements between people of different Christian faiths. Drawing on principles of contract law developed by jurists and theologians from the School of Salamanca, the Jesuit controversialist Martinus Becanus (1563–1624) argues in favor of the duty to honor promises beyond confessional boundaries. Although hostile to religious freedom as a matter of principle, he acknowledges that a prince may have good reasons to grant exceptions. In particular circumstances the toleration of religious diversity may not only prevent greater evil, but also advance the greater good, especially by stimulating a kind of pious competition between confessional communities. This first English translation of Becanus’s De fide haereticis servanda allows modern scholars to discover a major work of one of the most prominent advocates of a permission concept of tolerance in the early modern period
