The debate over the moment of Eucharistic Consecration at the Council of Florence (1439): An analysis of the arguments presented by Juan de Torquemada and Mark of Ephesus.
No full textThis dissertation aims to analyse the contributions of Markos Eugenikos, the Metropolitan of Ephesus, and the Castilian Dominican friar, Juan de Torquemada, to the debates concerning the nature and moment(s) of Eucharistic consecration at the Council of Florence which took place in June 1439, after both individuals were appointed by the Byzantine Imperial and Latin Churches respectively to articulate and defend their Church’s stances on this matter.
The author will begin by putting this conciliar debate into its broader historical context, particularly with regards to the Latin-Byzantine debates concerning Eucharistic consecration in the late medieval period. The author will then move on to examine the magisterial statements issued by the Latin and Byzantine Churches concerning the nature and moment(s) of Eucharistic consecration following Ferrara-Florence in the second chapter in order to assess Mark of Ephesus’ and Torquemada’s doctrines in terms of their dogmatic authority.
Chapters Three and Four will then examine how Torquemada and Mark of Ephesus both advocated their Churches’ doctrines of the nature and moment(s) of Eucharistic consecration after both individuals were respectively commissioned by Pope Eugenius IV and Emperor Ioannes VIII to fulfil this objective. Each chapter will first provide an overview of the pertinent factors within both Torquemada’s and Mark’s backgrounds that informed the tenor of their literary and oral contributions to this Florentine debate and the nature of the source material they evoked to support their respective doctrines. The author will then assess the arguments put forward by Mark and Torquemada in their own right, paying particular attention to how accurately each individual exegeted the Patristic and liturgical source material they evoked to defend their respective Church’s doctrines of Eucharistic consecration.
Chapter Five will move on to examine how Torquemada responded to Mark of Ephesus’ claims within the subsequent public conciliar debate which occurred on June 20th. The author will again examine how accurately Torquemada exegeted the Patristic and liturgical source material he evoked to defend the Latin Church’s doctrine of Eucharistic consecration in the face of the criticisms previously put forward by Mark of Ephesus. The author concludes this chapter by encapsulating the conciliar proceedings preceding the promulgation of Laetentur Caeli on July 6th. This will allow the author to provide some context relating to the subsequent divisions between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches concerning Eucharistic consecration, alongside the other matters of doctrine and praxis, referred to in this dissertation’s introductory Chapter.
To conclude, Chapter Six will summate this dissertation’s findings: The author will aim to conclude that, in contrast to Torquemada’s Eucharistic Cedula and two Sermones, Mark’s doctrine of the nature and moment(s) of Eucharistic consecration offers a relatively firmer basis from which modern-day Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox ecumenists could attempt to establish some form of consensus on this question
Estimating demographic parameters for capture-recapture data in the presence of multiple mark types
No full textIn mark-recapture studies, various techniques can be used to uniquely identify individual animals, such as ringing, tagging or photo-identification using natural markings. In some long-term studies more than one type of marking procedure may be implemented during the study period. In these circumstances, ignoring the different mark types can produce biased survival estimates since the assumption that the different mark types are equally catchable (homogeneous capture probability across mark types) may be incorrect.We implement an integrated approach where we simultaneously analyse data obtained using three different marking techniques, assuming that animals can be cross-classified across the different mark types. We discriminate between competing models using the AIC statistic. This technique also allows us to estimate both relative mark-loss probabilities and relative recapture efficiency rates for the different marking methods.We initially perform a simulation study to explore the different biases that can be introduced if we assume a homogeneous recapture probability over mark type, before applying the method to a real dataset. We make use of data obtained from an intensive long-term observational study of UK female grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) at a single breeding colony, where three different methods are used to identify individuals within a single study: branding, tagging and photo-identification based on seal coat pattern or pelage.Peer reviewe

Convergences in perfect BL-algebras
No full textThe aim of the paper is to investigate some concepts of convergence in the class of
perfect BL-algebras. Similarity convergence was developed by G. Georgescu and A. Popescu in
the case of the residuated lattices, while the convergence with a fixed regulator was studied
by Cernák for lattice-ordered groups and MV-algebras and by the author for residuated lattices. In this paper we study the similarity convergence and the convergence with a fixed regulator for the perfect BL-algebras. The main result is the construction of Cauchy completion of a perfect BL-algebra.Peer Reviewe
A Return to the Common Reader: Print Culture and the Novel, 1850-1900
No full textIn 1957, Richard Altick's groundbreaking work The English Common Reader transformed the study of book history. The collection aims to conceptualise some of the new directions that the field is taking fifty years afters the publication of this seminal work and to interrogate the category of the ‘common reader’ itself. What do we now mean by the term ‘common reader’? Is it still a useful term in book history and the sociology of literature? Though the history of mass readerships attests to a rise in literacy in the second half of the nineteenth century, and to snobberies and anxieties surrounding the development of a mass reading public, how did different institutional contexts, different groups of readers (such as women, soldiers, prisoners and radicals) and different forms of publication respond differently to the general trend of a growth in literacy? Were there groups of readers or forms of publication, for example, which complicate the picture of a growth in mass literacy and an elite fear of that growth? And who is to be included or excluded from the concept of the ‘common reader’? How did changing concepts of what constituted the ‘common reader’ in the first place contribute to the development of literary and print forms, educational institutions, and concepts of reading and readerships within the period? This privileging does not aim to disassociate the ‘common reader’ from Robert Darnton’s formulation of the author/publisher/reader circuit central to Book History, but rather to more closely analyse the multiple functions and interactions of the reader therein. Importantly, the interrogation of the concept of the ‘common reader’ is brought to bear, in every essay, on questions about the development of the novel in the period. The book offers important textual analyses of literary works by Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Ouida and a range of other popular novelists fruitfully bringing together Book History, print culture and literary methodologies in order to further research into the relationship between the social history of reading and the development of literature in the late nineteenth century. Bringing together a collection of essays, each of which explores distinctive cases of constructions of the ‘English common reader’, this book will further research in the sociology of literature by taking one of its fundamental categories of thought and exploring the complicated set of sociological, literary and historical assumptions and ideas which both underpin and contest it
