Das Äthiopien in Adolph Knigges Roman: Realität oder Hilfsmittel
No full textThe German Adolph Knigge (1752–96), an exponent of the Age of Enlightenment, is the author of a novel, which he gave a title including some Ethiopian elements. This article seeks to answer three questions: 1. How far the description of Knigge’s Ethiopia does agree with the “real” Ethiopia. 2. What could have been the sources of his information and knowledge. 3. Why did he choose Ethiopia as peg, though he was not writing for Ethiopianists or people alike. It is obvious that for the description of the fictitious Ethiopian novel Knigge took the information from Bruce’s travel report. And it is obvious that he was familiar with Ludolf and his time. Knigge being interested in a success of his publications could rely on a sales promoting effect of the book title because of the background of information of his 18th century readership

(N. del T.)Eduard Seler, antes de aventurarse por primera vez en México en 1887, buscó en la ciudad de Santa Fe, Nuevo México, el consejo y la guía del sabio Adolph Bandelier (Berna, 1840–Sevilla, 1914). Para finales de la década de los ochenta decimonónicos las investigaciones y erudición de Bandelier le habían conferido un sólido prestigio entre los estudiosos de las antiguas civilizaciones del continente americano, y era autor de un puñado de libros indispensables como On the Art of War and Mode of Warfare of the Ancient Mexicans (1877), On the Social Organization and Mode of Government of the Ancient Mexicans (1879), Report of an Arquaeological Tour in Mexco in 1881 (1884). En Santa Fe, Seler tuvo la oportunidad de ver el manuscrito de 1400 fojas titulado “Histoire de la Colonisation et des Missions de Sonora, Chihuahua, Nouveau-Mexique, et Arizona jusqu’à l’année 1700”, escrito por el propio Bandelier, así como su anexo de cuatro álbumes de bocetos y mapas, antes de que el arzobispo John Baptiste Salpointe de Nuevo México lo obsequiara al papa León XIII y se extraviara temporalmente en la Biblioteca Apostólica Vaticana. Por aquel entonces Bandelier se preparaba para pasar la página de su temporada en el suroeste de Estados Unidos y adentrarse en Perú; trabajaba en la novela con la que se propuso describir para el lector no especializado la vida de los indios pueblo antes de la llegada del hombre blanco en The Delight Makers (1890) y trabajaba también en uno de sus estudios más apasionantes, The Gilded Man (El Dorado) and Other Pictures of the Spanish Occupancy of America —cuya edición corrió a cargo de Thomas A. Janvier y se publicó en 1893, cuando su autor ya se encontraba en Perú. En el centenario de la muerte de Bandelier vale la pena recordarlo como sea, asomándose, por ejemplo, a las páginas que preparó para acompañar su limpia edición de The journey of Alvar Cabeza de Vaca and his companions from Florida to the Pacific, 1528-1536 (Nueva York, A. S. Barnes & Co., 1905)
The use of electronic record management system at selected TVET college
No full textThis research investigates the implementation of Electronic Records Management Systems (ERMS) at specific Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in Limpopo, particularly emphasising Capricorn TVET College. The research seeks to improve administrative efficiency by tackling the difficulties associated with good record management. Critical issues examined encompass barriers to ERMS implementation, its advantages, and the correlation between staff productivity and technological acceptability. A quantitative research methodology was employed, utilising a cross-sectional descriptive design. Data were gathered from 180 administrative personnel at Capricorn TVET College using standardised questionnaires. The research concentrated on identifying obstacles to ERMS implementation, advantages of the system, and its effect on work performance. Research demonstrates that ERMS markedly enhances administrative performance through improved efficiency, collaboration, and data security. The results indicate that ERMS promotes administrative efficiency, bolsters data security, and minimises errors. Nonetheless, insufficient training and reluctance to change were recognised as major obstacles to acceptance. The perceived utility and user-friendliness of the system were pivotal elements affecting employee adoption and performance enhancement
Aisopou Mythoi/Fabulae Aesopicae Graecae Quae Maximo Planudi Tribuuntur
No full textThe full title reads this way: Aisopou mythoi Fabulae Aesopicae Graecae quae Maximo Planudi tribuuntur ad veterum librorum fidem emendatas Ioannis Hudsonis suisque adnotationibus illustratas atque indice verborum locupletissimo instructas edidit Io. Michael Heusinger curavit et praefatus est Christ. Adolph. Klotzius. The book is easy to find online; it seems to be the only book that comes up if one Googles Wittekindt, although this edition may be a reprint of a 1770 edition also done by Wittekindt. The book has three parts: a lengthy unpaginated introduction; 120 pages of some 149 fables and their variants; and a Greek/Latin dictionary of all the vocables that occur in Aesop's fables. This third section has a two-page addition cataloguing items explained in the notes. The whole comes, online sources say, to 288 pages. The introductory section includes a preface by Klotz; a catalogue of manuscripts by Heusinger, a preface to the reader by Hudson; and sixty-eight ancient testimonies to Aesop and the fables. For those confused by the shortened and Latinized names on the title-page, here are more complete and modern names: Christian Adolph Klotz edited this book, following on the work of editor and commentator John Hudson with Johann Michael Heusinger's index verborum. The publisher is Johann Georg Ernst Wittekindt.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GreekJoannis Hudsonis, Io. Michael Heusinger, Christ. Adolph. Klotziu
