Quaesivi vultum tuum. Liturgy, figura and Christ’s Presence
No full textFor medieval Christians, the figural, typological meaning is of the greatest importance in trying to make sense of historical events. There are not only figural meanings in the events of the past – i.e., those recounted in
the Old Testament – that are fulfilled in the New Testament, but also in the events taking place after the life of Christ. Within this framework, the topic of God’s Face finds its meaning: the Holy Face is not only a relic, but also – or even primarily – a real figura

Searching HathiTrust: Old Concepts in a New Context
No full textThis paper examines the use of the HathiTrust Digital Library as a resource for locating primary sources in the course of historical research. It focuses on the incorporation of library metadata into HathiTrust database records and the benefits this has on search strategies. The author outlines a method for locating primary sources that reduces information overload and allows researchers to target specific types of documents commonly used by historians. Historians report turning more and more frequently to open book repositories to find relevant material for their research, but also that searching full text databases often leads to information overload. The case study presented demonstrates that HathiTrust provides not only a rich collection of primary sources, but also that its inclusion of Library of Congress Subject Headings creates a uniquely effective means of searching them with higher recall and precision. Despite their usefulness, the author identifies some limitations to searching LCSH in HathiTrust and makes recommendations for overcoming them. Librarians in academic environments should promote the informed use of HathiTrust among their faculty as a way of providing superior research support and improving collaboration between researchers and librarians
The iconography of the Roman Veronica: From the repertoires of Karl Pearson to Veronica Route
No full textThis article seeks to identify the Roman veronica’s icono- graphic features by comparing the 200 veronicas’ characteristics noted by Pearson in 1887, the observations of diverse veronica scholars, and an online database of 3,817 veronicas (www.veronicaroute.com) in which each example is tagged for place and date. Pearson noted the veronica’s link to the Mandylion – the light/dark face, the trans gured/suffering face – and arrived at 1450 as the turning point from the trans gured to the suffering face. According to the Index of concentration, dark-faced veronicas with a “cut-out”outline are linked to the Roman relic, suggesting that early veronicas resembled the Mandylia in Rome and Genoa. According to the database, the early veronicas resembled the Mandylion; the dominant type of veronica between 1300 and 1500 had the trans gured face; and there is not necessarily a link between the dark face of the veronica and the suffering face of Christ
Cover Story: A Modus Vivendi? Sex, Marriage and the Church
