The Gothic threshold of Sabine Baring-Gould : a study of the Gothic fiction of a Victorian squarson
Get PDFThis thesis is a study of the Gothic fiction of Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-
1924), with particular attention given to Baring-Gould’s roles as squire and parson. I
have chosen to analyze two of Baring-Gould’s Gothic works, the novel Mehalah
(1880) and the novella Margery of Quether (1884), both which allow a particularly
profitable examination of the influence of Baring-Gould’s roles on his fiction.
In studying these texts I apply my theory of Gothic fiction as a particularly
modern genre built upon a "Gothic threshold," a meeting point of extreme opposites
which ambivalently contrasts and merges the categories of the modern and the
medieval.
In the first chapter I describe how Baring-Gould’s unique Hegelian-influenced
Tractarian philosophy influenced his creation of the dialectical setting of Mehalah. I
argue that because of this influence Mehalah should be recognized as a significant
contribution to the literature of the Oxford Movement.
In the second chapter I argue that Mehalah’s historical setting in the time of
the French Revolution and the influence of Wuthering Heights reinforce Mehalah’s
use of the “Gothic threshold” structure and contribute to its theme of ambivalent
progress.
In the third chapter I discuss the influence of Baring-Gould’s sermon-writing
on Mehalah and consider connections between Baring-Gould’s role as parson and the
novel’s botched marriage theme.
In the final chapter I discuss Margery of Quether as an innovation in the
Gothic and vampire tradition as perhaps the only Gothic work that directly dramatizes
the Land Law debate and presents that debate as a "Gothic" contest. I argue that
Margery channels Baring-Gould’s tensions as a landowner.
In the conclusion I argue that Mehalah and Margery display Baring-Gould’s
technique of constructing miniature Gothic battles that relate to larger confrontations,
and that the ultimate terror presented in these works is the conclusion of the battle
between ancient and modern forces

Towards Open Modeling of Building Automation over the entire building life cycle
Get PDFOne step towards achieving climate neutrality in cities is to operate buildings energy-efficiently. Building automation systems are a key element in optimizing the operation of modern buildings (e.g., controling HVAC systems and switching lights on/off). However, it is often the case that the actual energy consumption of a building is higher than expected. One reason is that building automation is usually only designed in detail very late during the construction phase of buildings. Consequently, the design assumptions often differ from the actual realization, which leads to operational failures and inefficiencies. As a result, the total savings potential cannot be exploited for time and budget reasons. Hence, building automation should be modeled and tested already in the design phase to avoid insufficiencies in the implementation, resulting in higher operational costs and energy consumption.
To address these challenges, we developed a method for platform-independent modeling of the control logic and integrating it into an open data model. This method allows the control logic to be linked to the components and parameters of the building model already in the design phase and throughout the entire building life cycle

De Lingua Sabina: A Reappraisal of the Sabine Glosses
Get PDFThis thesis offers a reappraisal of the Sabine glosses through the analysis of thirty-nine words, all glossed explicitly as Sabine in ancient sources ranging from the first century BCE to the sixth century CE.
The study of the Sabine glosses found in ancient grammarians and antiquarians goes back to the beginnings of Italic scholarship. Over time, two positions on the Sabine glosses have crystallised: (a) the Sabine glosses are evidence of a personal obsession of the Republican author Varro, in whose work many Sabine glosses survive, and (b) the Sabine glosses are true remnants of a single language of which little or no epigraphic evidence has survived.
By using the neogrammarian observation that sound-change is regular and exceptionless, it is possible to ascertain whether or not the Sabine glosses are likely to be from the same language. This thesis finds that the sound-changes undergone by the Sabine glosses show no broad agreement. The developments are characteristic of different languages – Latin, Faliscan and various Sabellic languages – and many changes are mutually exclusive. This consequently throws doubt on the assertion that the Sabine glosses are all taken from one language. Instead, the glosses should be seen as part of a discourse of the relationships between Romans, Sabines and Sabellic-speaking peoples.
During the Republic, Sabines were central to Roman myth, historiography and political rhetoric. As the Sabines were a distinct people in the Roman foundation myths, but were largely Romanised in the Republican present, they became a convenient bridge between Rome and the Sabellic-speaking peoples of Central and Southern Italy, to whom Greek and Roman writers ascribed myths tracing origin back to the Sabines. This continued into the Empire, when emperors such as Claudius and Vespasian utilised their (supposed) Sabine heritage to gain ideological capital. In light of this, the phenomenon of Sabine glosses cannot be seen as one man’s interest, but as a means of reflecting on Rome’s relations with Sabellic-speaking Italy
KOMPARASI SEJARAH DAN ANALISIS TEKS SABINE SCHMIDTKE
No full textThis study looks at the numerous studies of Islamic theology conducted by Western nations since the early nineteenth century. They studied Muslim thinkers' writings and brought them to the West. Initially, the study of the manuscript was general in nature, but later thinkers narrowed it down to a specific study. Sabine Schmidtke is a modern Orientalist who specializes in manuscripts of Islamic theology, particularly Mu'tazilah theology. In this study, the author employs the library research method to examine Sabine Schmidtke's books and journals on the relationship between Jewish Karaites, Shia theology and Mu'tazilah theology. Based on the author's research, Sabine's comparative historical and textual studies have revealed that the Shia school of thought and the Jewish Karaites sect have adopted Mu'tazilah thought, specifically the thought of Abu al-Husayn al-Basri. They not only adopted ideas, but they also copied and preserved writings found in Yemen in the form of manuscripts.
Keywords: Sabine Schmidtke, Jewish Karaites, Mu'tazilah

Entre l'Italie et les Pays-bas méridionaux: le parcours artistique et culturel de Theodoor van Loon / THEODOOR VAN LOON, 'Pictor ingenius' en tijdgenoot Rubens
No full textThe Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium own one of the most important museal collection of works by Theodoor van Loon (ca. 1582- 1649) in the world. Thanks to the generous support of the Léon Courtin-Marcelle Bouché fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation three of his works have been restored recently: The Virgin with child and Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, The assumption of the Virgin and The adoration of the shepherds. The restoration was indicated both from esthetical as curatorial reasons. Moreover, it offered the perfect opportunity to study the artist, who received little attention until now. This study has culminated in this book.
In the first chapter of the book Irene Baldriga reconstructs Van Loon’s artistic career and his contacts with intelectual circles in Rome and the Netherlands. Sabine van Sprang and Eelco Nagelsmit reconstruct the context of the production of The Virgin with child and Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist (for the castle of Tervuren) and The assumption of the Virgin for the Church of Sint-Jan-Baptist ten Begijnhof in Brussels. In chapter four Jana Sanyova, together with curator Sabine van Sprang and conservators Hélène Dubois, Marie-Annelle Mouffe and Catherine Van Herck treat the paint layers and choice of materials by the painter, based on paint samples taken during restoration. The last chapter deals with the restoration itself
