Internal Podalic Version and Extraction the Decreasing Incidence at a General Hospital
No full textDuring his Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology the author was impressed with the infrequency of internal podalic version and extraction at his institution. This procedure seemed to be relegated to a minor role in the handling of difficult obstetrical problems. The thought occurred that a perusal of the past record of versions at this hospital might in itself give tile clue to the apparent decreasing incidence and also possibly serve as a yardstick of the improvement in obstetrical care In a general hospital. | This study covers the years from January 1, 1926, to July 1, 1948. For purposes of comparison these years are divided into five-year periods, with the exception of the last period concerned, which is two and one-half years in length. The total number of births considered is 21,425 with a total number of 167 versions.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Western medieval legal manuscripts in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania
No full textWestern legal manuscripts of the Middle Ages in North American collections are among the least known to scholars. The University of Pennsylvania has a rich collection of these texts, several of which were in the collection of the historian Henry Charles Lea. Included are works of civil law and canon law, as well as collections of papal letters and guides to pastoral care. The descriptions of most of these manuscripts in the catalog of Norman P. Zacour and Rudolf Hirsch are perfunctory, sometimes erring or omitting valuable information. Other manuscripts were added in recent years in the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection. Much of this material is being added to the Franklin online catalog of the University’s libraries, but researchers frequently do not search these digital resources. This article provides more complete guidance to the University’s medieval legal manuscripts than any of the existing catalogs offers, whether in print or online. It also provides updated bibliographic information in print or online. Every manuscript has been examined by the author in situ. Among the important works represented in the collection is the Panormia (a work of canon law often attributed to Ivo of Chartres). Authors present include the curialist Thomas of Capua, canonists Petrus de Braco, William of Pagula, Bernardus Raimundi, Adam of Aldersbach, Raymond of Peñafort, and civil lawyers Baldus de Ubaldis, and Bartolus de Saxoferrato. Three of these manuscripts were owned in the past by Sir Thomas Phillipps

Visual communication in mapping the life and afterlife of Nicholaus Maniacutius
No full textThis project is a faculty-student research collaboration with Dr. Marie-Therese Champagne and mentored by Prof. Thomas Asmuth. The faculty-student group consists of multidisciplinary students from the Kugelman Honors Program and faculty stemming from the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Respectfully with Prof. Thomas Asmuth from the art department and Dr. Marie-Thérèse Champagne from the history department. The project's research director and author. The students include Rayne Henry, Lucas Alderfer and Isabella Cameron.
The research is a component of Champagne's research of the text, Ad incorrupta pontificum nomina conservanda by Nicolaus Maniacutius, a 12th-century Cistercian scholar from Rome. The text is devoted to preserving the 'proper' naming and lineage of Catholic popes. Ad incorrupta is an important work by Maniacutius; in other writings, he condemns the brutalization of texts and history by faulty scribal transcriptions. Champagne has painstakingly spent years locating surviving copies of Ad incorrupta revealing that the manuscript is located in multiple sites across Europe. The text was reproduced by hand for many institutions in the later Middle Ages, indicating the significance and popularity of the subject
The Gospel of Thomas and the earliest texts of the synoptic gospels
No full textResearch on the Gospel of Thomas in the last quarter of a
century has made it clear that the origins of this apocryphal gospel
cannot
be
satisfactorily explained from a single point of view. The
author thus suggests that Thomas
be
understood as a growing collection
of sayings which originated in various places and languages, with some
logia being added to the collection after its inception. While this
suggestion is by no means new, there have been few extensive attempts
to study Thomas from such a presupposition.
Due to the need for a control group, only the logia which have
rather close parallels to the Synoptic gospels are investigated. Verbal and textual affinities are noted between these logia and the earliest texts of the Gospels (the Coptic versions, the Diatessaron, the
Old Syriac version, and other early versions and Christian writings).
Various degrees of probable contact between each logion and these
texts are assigned.
The results of this study give some idea as to the place of
origin, the original language, and the approximate date at which certain logia were added to the collection. Those sayings which show a
closer affinity to the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version, or other
Syrian writings may
be
considered as having been added to the sayings
collection as it circulated in its earliest form, possibly in a Semitic language. Other logia which show no signs of awareness of a
Syrian reading, but which are similar to variants found in the Coptic
versions or other Egyptian texts, may well have originated in Egypt
and been added to the collection at a later stage. These results,
however, must await verification by those who might approach Thomas
from related, but different, perspectives
Characteristics of The Plautine Comic in Pseudolus
No full textTitus Maccius Plautus did not write an original work. The author from Sarsina himself acknowledged the Greek model of his plays. The ancients did not have a cult for originality, the way modernists do and Plautus makes no exception. All that the playwright aims to, regardless of the form, is laughter: “It is a comedy full of charm and humor: / You will roll in the aisles” . Through the analysis of “Pseudolus”, we have tried to outline several characteristics of ludus comicus, of the artistic modality to accomplish it, by the means of which the author from Sarsina managed to assert his uniqueness.ludus comicus, comic, Titus Maccius Plautus
Sir Thomas More and holy orders: More's views of the English clergy, both secular and regular
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to present Sir Thomas More's
views on the sacrament of Holy Orders with particular
reference to the English clergy using as evidence More's own
writings and relevant manuscript material as well as various
other contemporary sources.
The discussion of More's activity as ecclesiastical
patron, based on manuscript sources, will illuminate this
previously undocumented aspect of his involvement in clerical
affairs. It will indicate how far his views on the English
clergy are corroborated by those priests he presented to
benefices in addition to providing us with a detailed look at
the problems associated with early 16th Century patronage.
More's activity as a royal councillor, seen through his
own eyes and revealed in his writings and other sources, will
be discussed as it touches on the English spirituality.
Particular attention will be paid to the development of
More's criticisms of the clergy and his emerging
understanding of the sacrament of Orders as it took shape in
his polemical career.
His duties as Lord Chancellor, particularly his campaign
against heretics in England and heretical writings abroad,
will be presented as well as his opposition to secular
statutory reforms of the clerical estate. More's activity as
secular judge of clerical litigants in the courts of Star
Chamber and Chancery will be analysed on the basis of
manuscript evidence of those courts and his own comments
found in his published and private writings.
Finally, More's concluding remarks on both controversial
doctrinal issues and the part played by the English clergy in
the Henrician Reformation (to 1535) will be discussed as it
is found in the works written from the Tower
