Massekhet Keritot. Text, Translation and Commentary. A Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud
No full textThe tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical, philological and philosophical investigation on these gender issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of sexual behavior

Ge-type gray-glazed bo bowl
No full textThis is a Ge*-type bo bowl with a wide, open mouth and a flat bi-shaped base (yu bi xing di). Both the exterior and interior are in a gray glaze. Overall the glazing evidently bears large, gray iron-colored and small brownish-golden crackles, or 'jin si tie xian' (gold thread and iron wire), which is unique to the Ge ware. The ring of the bi-shaped base is unglazed, exposing the smoothly wheeled brown body with a circle of spur marks. The recessed center of the base is glazed and crackled, similar to the bowl itself.
The bi-shaped base usually appears on bowls made in the mid to late Tang dynasty. A disc is cut away from the flat base of a bowl, leaving the base with a ring resembling a jade bi. The ring is unglazed and the recessed center may or may not be glazed. But as to this Ge-type bo bowl, its bi-shaped base is actually flat rather than raised as the standard practice. Further, the Ge ware was first developed during the Song period. Thus, this piece is a combination of the Song-Song-style crackles and the Tang-style base, a practice frequently adopted by later replicas. Therefore, this Ge-type bo bowl should be a recent copy, approximately made during the late 19th century to mid-20th century.
* The Ge kiln (elder brother's kiln) refers to a legendary Song kiln whose site is still unknown today. The color of the recognized extant Ge vessels varies from black, dark gray, light gray to earth-yellow. The dark body was known as 'iron bone'. Ge ware is coated in a thin layer of opacified gray-green glaze, with variations such as rice yellow and a paler version of gray-green or rice yellow. The crackles on Ge ware are of two types. One is known as jin si tie xian (gold thread and iron wire) which is a combination of large dark crackles and small yellow crackles. The other is a crackle of similar size. Most Ge vessels were fired on their own foot and only a few used spurs. Common vessel forms include bowls, saucer dishes, washes, vases, cencers, dishes and jars. No mention has been made of Ge ware in Song literature nor have any examples been found in a Song tomb. The shape and technique used on many of these extant Ge ware bear characteristics of Yuan porcelain. Therefore, one point of view among scholars is that the period of Ge ware production could be extended from the Southern Song to the Yuan dynasty. The Yuan scholar Kong Qi first mentioned the terms ge ge dong yao (the kiln in the elder brother's cave) and ge ge yao (the elder brother's kiln) in his Zhi Zheng Zhi Ji (Plain Records of the Zhizheng Reign) of the Yuan dynasty. In the early Ming, author Cao Zhao also used the term 'ge ge yao' in his Ge Gu Yao Lun (The Essential Criteria of Antiquities) 1388. The first reference to ge yao (Ge kiln or ware) has been found in Xuande Ding Yi Pu (A Manual of Xuande Ritual Vessels) of 1428. At the end of Yuan, the difference between the old and new ge ge yao was noted. From the Xuande and Chenghua reigns of the Ming, Jingdezhen started making imitations of Ge wares, which continued into the Qing dynasty.Qing dynasty; Republican perio
Little Bo-Peep
No full textHere is another Donohue surprise-a book, like Jack and Jill (1895?) that contains only the title-story and fables. This book has the same cover border, the same back cover, and the same Mother Goose endpapers as that book. Its selection of fables surprises me because it seems to complement carefully the selection of fables there. Though they seem to draw on the same sources (see my comments there), there are no repeaters here. After Little Bo-Peep there are four fables, three of which (The Larks and the Farmer, FS, and BW) identify their texts as by Clara Doty Bates. The fourth, TH, has illustrations by Childe Hassam. The first fable is curious for presenting first a full-page illustration by one hand, titled The Larks and the Farmers. Then come five pages with the title The Larks and the Farmer and illustrations by a different hand. Other than Bates and Hassam, I cannot identify the author and artists. There is some material missing at the end, including the finish of BW and one of the endpapers. This book has no spine left. All its pages are separated. Still, I was lucky to get it at this price!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clara Doty Bates et a
Parent-subsidiary dispersion and executive excess perks consumption
No full textWe investigate the impact of parent-subsidiary dispersion on the corporate executives’ excess perks consumption using comprehensive data of 1,784 Chinese listed firms over the 2003–2017 period (i.e., total firm-year observations of 24,976). We argue that firms with greater geographic and institutional environment dispersion are subject to an acute information asymmetry problem, which makes it difficult and costly for shareholders and the public to monitor managerial actions and hence, facilitates managers to consume perks excessively. Consistent with this assertion, we find a positive relationship between parent-subsidiary company dispersion and executives’ excess perks consumption. These patterns are not likely to be driven by the firms’ endogenous choice and remain robust to various proxies for parent-subsidiary dispersion and executives’ excess perks consumption. In addition, our results also show that firms with a greater dispersion between parent and subsidiary companies have higher investor recognition. However, investor recognition does not appear to negatively impact the rate of executives’ excess perks consumption, which may explain why executives’ excess perks consumption is not mitigated in firms with greater parent-subsidiary dispersion
