Translation as creative retelling : constituents, patterning and shift in Gavin Douglas' Eneados
No full textThe Thesis analyses and evaluates how Gavin Douglas (Eneados, 1513) has refocused Virgil's Aeneid, principally by giving more emphasis to the serial particularity inherent in the story, loosening the narrative structure and involving the reader in its retelling.
Chapter I pieces together (from the evidence not merely of what Douglas explicitly says, but of what his words imply) what for him a "text" in general is, and what accordingly it means for a translator or a reader to be engaged with it. This sets the scene for what follows.
The next four Chapters look in turn at how he re-expresses important (metaphysical) characteristics of the story. In Chapter II his handling of time is discussed, and compared with Virgil's: the Chapter sets out in detail how Douglas consistently refocuses temporal predicates, foregrounding their disjunctiveness and making them differently felt. In Chapter III spatial position and distance are analysed, and Douglas' way of dealing with space is found to display parallels with his treatment of time: networks are loosened and nodal points are accentuated. In Chapter IV the way in which he presents individuals is compared with Virgil's, and a similar repatterning and shift reveals itself: Douglas provides his persons with firmer boundaries. Chapter V deals with fate, where Douglas encounters special difficulties but maintains his characteristic way of handling the story. The aim of these four Chapters is to characterise formally how Douglas concretises and vivifies the tale of Aeneas, engaging his readers throughout in the retelling.
Finally, Chapter VI looks at certain general principles of translation theory (notably connected with the ideas of faithfulness and accuracy) and argues for a way in which Douglas' translation can be fairly experienced by the reader and fairly evaluated as a lively retelling which (albeit distinctive) is fundamentally faithful to Virgil
Data for: "Large-scale culturing of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, its growth in, and tolerance of, variable environmental conditions"
No full textData corresponding to culture observations of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma cultured in independently variable conditions.

Adele Westgård, Mohamed M Ezat, Thomas B Chalk, Melissa Chierici, Gavin L Foster, Julie Meilland, Large-scale culturing of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, its growth in, and tolerance of, variable environmental conditions, Journal of Plankton Research, Volume 45, Issue 5, September/October 2023, Pages 732–745, https://doi.org/10.1093/plankt/fbad034
The data is observational data from culturing experiments of polar planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina pachyderma grown under independently variable conditions. Small (<100um), healthy (active rhizopodial network, test full of brightly coloured cytoplasm) specimens were collected from the Greenland Sea (74.5N, 01.6E), placed into individual bottled and placed into incubators upon return to the ARCLIM culturing lab at UiT, Tromsø. Culturing conditions were temperatures 2-7C, salinity 29.8-36.7, pH 7.8-8.4. This dataset described the biological response, including growth, size, mortality of the specimens in said conditions as well as the growth patterns of asexually reproduced offspring.</p

Failed Censures: Ecclesiastical Regulation of Women’s Clothing in Late Medieval Italy
No full textChurchmen in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries tried to regulate the costume of Italian women.

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
