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
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)
No full textMedieval canon law attempted to distinguish clergy from the laity by restricting their dress choices. The article focuses on prohibition of wearing red or green on the street. Both colors were identified with the nobility.The published version was published as Chapter 7 in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 1Izbicki, Thomas M.

Supporting data for Primary data for Poly(4-ketovalerolactone) from Levulinic acid, Synthesis and Hydrolytic Degradation
No full textThe raw data files are organized within folders by the instrumentation used for characterization or by the chemdraw file. The characterization files are labeled by the number given to each molecule in the main text of the document.These files contain primary data along with associated output from instrumentation supporting all results reported in Xu et. al. Primary data for Poly(4-ketovalerolactone) from Levulinic acid, Synthesis and Hydrolytic Degradation. In Xu et al. we found: We report here the synthesis of poly(4-ketovalerolactone) (PKVL) via ring-opening transesterification polymerization (ROTEP) of the monomer 4-ketovalerolactone (KVL, two steps from levulinic acid). The polymerization of KVL proceeds to high equilibrium monomer conversion (up to 96% in the melt) to give the semicrystalline polyketoester PKVL with low dispersity. PKVL displays glass transition temperatures of 7 °C and two melting temperatures at 132 and 148 °C. This polyester can be chemically recycled through hydrolytic degradation. Under aqueous neutral or acidic conditions, the dominating pathway for polyester hydrolysis is through backbiting from the chain end. Under basic conditions, mid-chain cleavage, accelerated by the ketone carbonyl group in the backbone, promotes the hydrolysis of nearby backbone ester bonds. The final hydrolysis product is 5-hydroxylevulinic acid, the ring opened hydrolysis product of KVL. PKVL was also observed to degrade under the action of a Brønsted acid to a bis-spirocyclic dilactone natural product altaicadispirolactone, which is a dimer of KVL. This constitutes a rare example of a one-step synthesis of a secondary metabolite in which a polymer was the starting material and the sole source of matter. Analogous ROTEP of the isomeric 4-membered lactone 4-acetyl--propiolactone (APL) was also explored, although this chemistry was not as well-behaved as the KVL to PKVL polymerization.National Science Foundation, CHE-1901635Xu, Shu; Wang, Yuanxian; Hoye, Thomas R.

Thomas Crutchfield account book, 1848-1861
No full textA book containing business accounts, including details about travel expenses and the purchase and sale of lumber as well as other goods and services. The author also catalogs personal spending, the dates and pricing of properties offered for rent, and the purchase and leasing of enslaved people. Many entries are consistent with the business activities of Thomas Crutchfield Sr., who died in 1850. Someone continued to make entries in the book for activities dated up to 1861
