Thomas Grisell letter to Thomas Rotch, 2nd mo 19th 1823
No full textThomas Grisell's letter reached the Rotch household several months before the unexpected death of Thomas Rotch in August, 1823. This is the last letter of the series and presumably the author learned of his friend's death before another letter was penned. 7.95" x 10" (20.2 by 25.5 cm
Barefoot in the Hemlocks: Nick Adams’ Betrayal of Love in Ten Indians
No full textRelying on manuscripts, biography, and other Hemingway works, Wadden disputes critical claims that the story serves as a successful initiation for Nick. Asserts that Prudence’s betrayal leaves a lasting emotional impact on Nick is comparable to other experiences found in “Indian Camp,” “The Killers,” “The Last Good Country,” and “Fathers and Son.
ASMITA modelling of the Wadden Sea with focus on the Groningerwad: Assessing how the Groningerwad will respond to accelerated sea level rise
No full textSome of the sediment which is eroded from the Dutch coast ends up in the Wadden Sea. Because of this the morphological development of the Wadden Sea is important, not only for the Wadden Sea itself but also for the maintenance programs of the adjacent coastlines. This is one of the reasons that the morphological development of the Wadden Sea is extensively studied. Some of these studies use the ASMITA model to make predictions of the morphological development with accelerating sea level rise. The Groningerwad is a part of the Wadden Sea consisting of a number of smaller tidal basins which has not been modelled with ASMITA. It has not yet been necessary to structurally nourish the coastlines surrounding the Groningerwad. However, as sea level rise increases it might well be possible that the coastal profiles surrounding the Groningerwad require nourishment. Therefore this thesis aims to study the Groningerwad with ASMITA to make a prediction of how the area will develop with accelerating sea level rise. To do this a morphological study is performed to determine the current morphological developments. This morphological study, based on available literature and bathymetry measurements of the area, finds that the Groningerwad is a highly dynamic area. It also determined the area and characterizing volume of each of the tidal basins, which have been used to set up the ASMITA model. For each basin in the Groningerwad an ASMITA model is set up using the information from the morphological study. The ASMITA model is used to make predictions for the development of the intertidal, channel and delta volumes of each of the Groningerwad its basins. The required parameters for the model have been derived from relevant formulas and the assumption that the Groningerwad is currently in a morphodynamic equilibrium. This was done because the time period for which bathymetrical measurements are available are to short to allow for a proper calibration procedure for these parameters. With this setup the ASMITA models show that all basins will lose intertidal sediment volume with rising sea levels. The larger basins of the Groningerwad also will not reach a new dynamic equilibrium state with large levels of sea level rise rate increase. When comparing these results to other basins in the Wadden Sea, it appears that the basins in the Groningerwad respond a lot slower than other Wadden Sea basins. Given the difference between the Groningerwad and the Wadden Sea and the fact that the time period over which bathymetrical data is available was to short to fully calibrate the model the recommendation is made to revisit this study when more data is available and it is possible to calibrate the relevant parameters.Civil Engineerin
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. These efforts failed, and regulation was largely left thereafter to civic authorities.The published version was published as Chapter 3 in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 5Izbicki, Thomas M.

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
Forbidden Colors in the Regulation of Clerical Dress from the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) to the Time of Nicholas of Cusa (d. 1464)
