Sowing with Faith: Immanence and Eternality in the Liberation of Nature
No full textBartholomew applies liberation theology to the destruction of nature occurring under the current free market system. Bartholomew argues for a greater respect for nature by emphasizing the immanence of God. Bartholomew relies on the tradition of God\u27s immanence which stresses the existence of God within and around humanity. God living closely among people implies that God must also live closely with the environment provided for humanity. This establishes a relationship between God and nature. Having a healthy relationship with nature is, therefore, reflective of a healthy relationship with God. An inherent part of treating the environment with care is conscientiousness about consumption. This, Bartholomew makes clear, also makes it easier to provide for the rest of humanity. Humanity\u27s relationship with nature mirrors its relationship God. The interconnectedness of these relationships cannot be escaped, and humanity is challenged by God to be respectful of each aspect. The author argues that this can be enacted in society by creating a new attitude towards the free market one which shows humanity in control of that market, instead of that market being an idol. This would not only allow people to treat the environment with more care, but it would make economic changes like tax reform more palatable
Bartholomew Tardiveau letter to Arthur St. Clair, June 30, 1789
No full textThis letter written by B. Cardiveau to Arthur St. Clair in June 1789 argues that slaves from the Southern states should be allowed to continue their servitude in the Northwest Territory even though slavery was outlawed by the Northwest Ordinance. Cardiveau predicts that if slaves are not allowed to be kept in the territory, southerners will not settle north of the Ohio River, and the area "will infallibly remain for a long time in a state of infancy." Cardiveau also suggests that slavery could be completely repealed if and when Ohio became a state and the citizens had a right to decide for themselves. The seven-page letter measures 9" by 13" (10 by 32 cm) and is part of a larger collection of Arthur St. Clair letters that is owned by the State Library of Ohio and on permanent deposit at the Ohio History Connection.
Arthur St. Clair (1734-1818) was governor of the Northwest Territory and administrator of Indian affairs for the western territories from 1787 to 1802. St. Clair led an army against a large alliance of American Indians, led by Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket) and Miami chief Mishikinakwa (Little Turtle), who threatened war after their land was given to the U. S. government without their authorization, in November 1791. St. Clair suffered a disastrous defeat, losing half of his men. In response, President George Washington appointed General Anthony Wayne to defeat the region's American Indian tribes, which he did in 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. St. Clair also had many disagreements with the territorial legislature. He supported the division of the territory into different states that would be admitted separately to the Union despite the opposition of members of the legislature, including Thomas Worthington, who wished to hasten Ohio's admission for statehood. In 1802, Worthington and others asked President Thomas Jefferson to dismiss St. Clair from office, which he did on November 22, thus clearing the way for the legislature to begin drafting Ohio's constitution. St. Clair retired to his home in Lingonier, Pennsylvania, and died there in 1818

Total length (unfixed) 3.0 mm, crown 0.3 mm. Body cylindrical with tapering, dorso-ventrally flattened abdomen. Body wall translucent grey with minor brown pigmentation on peristomium and pygidium, and green pigmentation on chaetiger 6. Branchial crown ~10% of total body length. Two pairs of radioles, each with six pinnules. One ventral pinnule on radiole with 4–5 yellow-white spots in life (Fig. 2 B–C). One pair of vascularised, unbranched ventral filamentous appendages present, extending for about two-thirds length of radiolar crown, approximately same width as pinnules (Fig. 2 B–C). Anterior peristomial ring with membranous collar, followed by posterior peristomial ring (Fig. 4 A–B,D). Collar margin smooth, higher ventrally, separated by a narrow dorsal gap that corresponds with ciliated faecal groove (Fig. 4D). Peristomial eyes, black rounded spots (Fig. 2E). Pygidial eyes absent. Superior thoracic notochaetae elongate, narrowly hooded; 5–7 per fascicle (chaetigers 1–5), 4–5 per fascicle (chaetigers 6–8) (Figs 3A; 4 A–C). Inferior thoracic notochaetae on chaetigers 1–8 short; 3–4 per fascicle except chaetiger 2, which has 6 per fascicle. Thoracic neuropodia each with 4–7 uncini in chaetigers 2–8 (Fig. 3B). Thoracic uncini with rows of evenly small teeth gradually decreasing in size away from main fang (Figs 3B; 4E). Position of chaetae and uncini reversed in abdominal segments; number of abdominal uncini per fascicle decreasing posteriorly from 22 to 9. Abdominal uncini each with multiple rows of teeth that are uniform in size (Figs 3C; 4H); manubrium at least five times longer than dentate region, with base about two thirds the width of the dentate region. Abdominal neuropodia are elongate, narrowly hooded, decreasing posteriorly from 4–6 to 2 per fascicle (Fig. 4G).</p> <p> <b>Variation.</b> Paratypes are similar to the holotype. However, females have oocytes in thoracic chaetigers 4–5 (Fig. 2C) and a pair of pigmented spermathecae in the base of the radiolar crown. Females differ from males in having thoracic neuropodia with uncini in chaetigers 2–5 followed by 3–6 elongate hooded chaetae in neuropodia of chaetigers 6–8 (Fig. 3E,G).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Manayunkia occidentalis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is the sister group to <i>M. speciosa</i> based on COI sequence data with a minimum pairwise distance (simple distance) to our <i>M. speciosa</i> samples of 11.0%, clearly supporting that they can be regarded as a separate taxon, although phylogenetic support for this relationship was weak (bootstrap 28%). <i>Manayunkia occidentalis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>M. speciosa</i> are the only species of <i>Manayunkia,</i> and in fact of any Fabriciidae (see Huang <i>et al</i>. 2011), to show sexual dimorphism with regards to thoracic chaetal complement. Males of <i>M. occidentalis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, and <i>M. speciosa</i> (Rouse pers. obs.) on specimens from near the type locality (SIO-BIC A12106), show the typical arrangement of thoracic uncini in each of chaetigers 2–8, while females have thoracic uncini in chaetigers 2–5 only (Fig. 3H). The neuropodia of chaetigers 6–8 instead have elongate hooded chaetae (Fig. 3G). These elongate hooded chaetae were seen in all females examined. Larval development would be worth studying to see if there is a loss of thoracic uncini or if they never develop in chaetigers 6–8. It is somewhat surprising that this major difference in chaetal complement was never noted previous in observations on <i>M. speciosa. Manayunkia occidentalis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> differs markedly from descriptions of <i>M. speciosa</i> by Leidy (1883) and Pettibone (1953) in that it has far fewer pinnules on the radioles. In this regard <i>Manayunkia occidentalis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is similar to other <i>Manayunkia</i> species that have relatively few pinnules (see Rouse 1996).</p>Published as part of <i>Atkinson, Stephen D., Bartholomew, Jerri L. & Rouse, Greg W., 2020, The invertebrate host of salmonid fish parasites Ceratonova shasta and Parvicapsula minibicornis (Cnidaria: Myxozoa), is a novel fabriciid annelid, Manayunkia occidentalis sp. nov.

Marulić's Distich on St. Bartholomew
No full textBrowsing through the pages of Daniele Farlati’s monumental work Illyricum sacrum, in the Garagnin Fanfogna Library at Trogir the author has found a piece of paper, in 18th century handwriting, reading:
In Bartholomeum Averoldum Archiepiscopum Spalatensem
Distichon
Aspice dissimiles quam sint duo Bartholomei:
Hic pellem Christo sustulit, ille dedit.
Auctore Marco Marulo, ut fertur.
The acidly intoned text alludes to bishop’s heavenly patron, the apostle Bartholomew. The bishop Bartholomew, as far as we know, fully deserved the authorts contempt. Farlati, referring to documents and traditions, reproached him for having done little worth mentioning in the twenty-three years of his pastoral rule in Split (1479-1503), his only merit being the building of the fortifications around the archiepiscopal castle (Sućurac). Namely, this Renaissance prelate, bored with life in the provincial Split, was almost constantly absent from the town, where rule of the unpopular archbishop was marked by disorders, moral corruption and declining faith. Among other things, he had to pay the Pope the sum of 1500 ducats in order to procure a bishop’s seat in Italy for his illegitimate son

Ben Jonson Across Cultures: Bartholomew Fair’s Italian Adaptation
No full textBartholomew Fair, the Jacobean comedy by Ben Jonson (1614), was recently adapted and translated into Italian, in particular into Genoese dialect, by the Italian playwrights Mario Bagnara and Bartolomeo Rottondo. In this article, the author discusses their project by comparing the English source text (ST) and the Italian target text (TT), and by analysing Bagnara and Rottondo’s translational choices. In particular, the author applies the new methodology of translational stylistics, together with translation studies, stylistics and pragmatics, in order to examine the figure of and the very first lines uttered by Ursula, the “pig-woman” (BF, The Persons of the Play), and in order to study Jonson’s presentation of a Jacobean working woman and Bagnara and Rottondo’s linguistic and cultural translation of this figure
On the Background and Career of Bartholomew of Grabarje, the Prior of the Priory of Vrana between c. 1474 and 1512
No full textU ovom prilogu autor kratko raspravlja o porijeklu i karijeri Bartola, priora Vranskog priorata u drugoj polovici petanestog i prvim godinama šesnaestog stoljeća. Temeljem dosad malo poznatih izvora, autor tvrdi da je Bartol pripadao onim Berislavićima Grabarskim za koje se u historiografiji smatralo da su za naraštaj stariji od njega, a vjerojatno su mu bili suvremenici i bratići. Autor dalje pokazuje da je Bartol upravljao dobrima priorata ranije nego se dosad mislilo, već od kraja 1473., te pretpostavlja da je na taj položaj dospio zahvaljujući vezama s Nikolom Iločkim, kraljem Bosne između 1471. i 1477. godine. Donose se i transkripcije neobjavljenih izvora koji osvjetljavaju Bartolovu karijeru.This paper focuses on the background and career of Bartholomew of Grabarje, the prior of the Hungarian Hospitaller province (the priory of Vrana) in the second half of fifteenth and the early sixteenth century. Having briefly commented on current views on Bartholomew\u27s background, the author asserts that Bartholomew, unlike previously thought, was a member of an older generation of the family from Grabarje. He was possibly a son of a thus far unknown member of the family and the cousin of the sons of Benedict Berislavić. He further took control over the priory\u27s estates at an earlier date than currently accepted, probably as early as 1473, and assumed the priory thanks largely to his connections to Nicholas of Ilok (Újlaki), the king of Bosnia at the time, in whose service Bartholomew seems to have been early in his career. The author also brings transcriptions of thus far unpublished documents referring to Bartholomew
Autocreation of Bartholomew Paprocki (ca. 1543–1614) in dedicatory letters in Gniazdo cnoty and Herby rycerstwa polskiego
No full textBartholomew Paprocki (ca. 1543–1614) dedicated to King Stephen Bathory two works from his vast literary output. The first one was called Gniazdo cnoty. It was published in 1578 in Cracow. Another of the works was called Herby rycerstwa polskiego. It was published in 1584 in Cracow. In dedicatory letters in these works we can find elements of autocreation of the author. Bartholomew Paprocki appeared as chosen by God. Both works were created by God’s inspiration. The second element of autocreation was the topos of modesty. The author admitted in dedicatory letters to his imperfections. However, the exact reading of the symbols which he used, especially in Herby rycerstwa polskiego, suggests that it was only part of the game with reader. The author used the topos of modesty to follow the convention which was used in dedicatory letters. These symbols were used to illustrate attitude of pride Bartholomew Paprocki had of his works.Bartłomiej Paprocki (ok. 1543–1614) dedykował królowi Stefanowi Batoremu dwa dzieła spośród swojego bogatego dorobku literackiego. Pierwsze z nich nosiło tytuł Gniazdo cnoty. Zostało ono wydane w 1578 roku w Krakowie. Drugim były Herby rycerstwa polskiego wydane w Krakowie w 1584 roku. W listach dedykacyjnych tych utworów odnaleźć można elementy autokreacji autora. Bartłomiej Paprocki jawi się w nich jako wybrany przez Boga twórca. Oba dzieła miały powstać także z natchnienia bożego. Drugim z elementów autokreacji był topos skromności. Autor przyznał się w listach dedykacyjnych do swych twórczych niedoskonałości. Jednak dokładane odczytanie symboli, jakich użył, szczególnie w Herbach rycerstwa polskiego, pozwala przypuszczać, iż był to jedynie element gry z czytelnikiem. Autor użył toposu skromności, aby wpisać się w konwencję obowiązującą w listach dedykacyjnych. Natomiast owe symbole posłużyły do ukazania postawy dumy Bartłomieja Paprockiego ze swego dzieła
