Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the social and economic context for so-called’ origin brands’ (products referred to and associated with a particular town, region or country) in ancient Rome, and develops a hypothetical model of how a Roman brand’s reputation might grow. This thinking is illustrated by four detailed case studies of luxury brands. Chapter 1 examines the role of brands in the Roman world in the light of modern thinking on the nature of brands and branding. I discuss the role of the consumer, in relation to brands, both modern and ancient, leading into an explanation of how brands are adopted by consumers, and how this might apply to a Roman luxury brand. Finally, I introduce and develop the concept of ‘origin brands’ in the Roman world, and relate the phenomenon of the origin brand to the consumer context. Chapter 2 sets out the élite socio-economic context in which Roman brands developed. The last part of this chapter examines the potential role of literature and its performance in élite households in the communication of brand information. Chapter 3 examines the nature of brand communication in the Roman world. In ancient Rome this was primarily word-of-mouth. This is analysed in a structured way to reflect the entire process from the production of a commodity to its ultimate purchase and consumption, leading to the formulation of a schematic model of the process. The second half of the thesis consists of four extended case studies that narrate the history of selected luxury origin brands and how they achieved their success in the Roman élite marketplace. The four examples – Corinthian bronze, ivory, silk and fine wines – represent different competitive marketplaces, and differing ways in which the brands concerned developed.

Full textAbstract:
The United States Air Force (USAF) trains C-130H Loadmaster students at Little Rock Air Force Base (AFB) through a civilian contract. The Aircrew Training System (ATS) contractor utilizes a Fuselage Trainer (FuT) to provide scenarios for the Loadmaster students to practice loading and unloading a simulated aircraft. The problem was the USAF does not have enough training devices and these devices are not at a high enough fidelity to accomplish many of the aircraft functions to meet the training objectives before flying on the actual aircraft. The ATS has moved the pilot's initial training into the Weapon System Trainer (WST). The WST has nearly eliminated all the aircraft flights for pilot initial instrument training because the simulator is life-like enough to accomplish the training tasks to qualify the students in the device. The Loadmaster student flights are scheduled based upon the pilot's flight training, thus forcing the Loadmaster students to utilize some other type of simulator device for their initial training.
The goal was to investigate an efficient and effective AR training system to instruct Loadmaster skills before they train on the aircraft. The investigation examined the use of a prototype Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) AR device attached to the Loadmaster's helmet. Three scenarios provided a basis to evaluate the different aspects of hardware and software needed to utilize an HMD as a Loadmaster training tool. The scenarios tested how the AR device may improve the C-130H Loadmaster training capabilities to learn normal and emergency procedures to students in the FuT. The results show a way to save the government thousands of dollars in fuel cost savings and open the eyes of the training contractor to a new way of training students using AR.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 20 years, selected disperse dyes and bis-3-carboxypyridinium-striazine reactive dyes have been widely promoted for the exhaust dyeing of polyester/cotton blends in a one-bath-one-stage ('All-in') process under neutral conditions. However, despite the time and energy savings afforded by this elegant dyeing process, there is a belief in the dyeing industry that economical production is limited to pale and medium depths of shade. The two dye classes (disperse dyes on polyester and bis-3-carboxypyridinium-striazine reactive dyes on cotton) were investigated to understand why heavy depths of shade could not readily be obtained, economically, using this process. The bis-3carboxypyridinium- s-triazine reactive dyes were responsible for the inability to achieve heavy depths of shade, economically, when dyeing at 130°C and neutral pH. The poor colour yield of the dyes was due to their low exhaustion level and low fixation efficiency at 130°C and pH 7.0-7.5, particularly when compared with the parent bis-monochlorotriazine dyes, fixed under alkaline conditions at 80°C. The synthesis and evaluation of some bis-3-carboxypyridinium-s-triazine reactive dye structures, possessing highly substantive chromophores, were investigated as a mecm of obtaining high colour yield, on 100% unmercersised cotton, at 130°C and pH 7.0-7.5. When a highly substantive bis-3-carboxypyridinium-s-triazine dye chromophore was incorporated into the reactive dye structures, heavy depths of shade could be readiiy obtained when dyeing at 130°C and neutral pH, using conventional salt concentrations. However, the wet fastness properties of the dye were poor, due to the slow removal of the hydrolysed dye and its propensity for back-staining adjacent white areas. If the high substantivity of a dye could be assigned to the reactive group, which is removed during the fixation of the dye, it may be possible to offer both acceptably high levels of build-up (and costeffectiveness) and wet fastness. The synthesis and evaluation of novel reactive dye structures, possessing substantivity-conveying reactive groups, when applied to cotton at 130°C and pH 7.0 - 7.5, were investigated. When a substantivity-conveying reactive group was incorporated into a reactive dye structure, as a replacement for a chlorine atom, the dye exhibited a higher substantivity than the parent monochlorotriazine dye. The use of amide derivatives of nicotinic acid as the reactive group in a s-triazinyl reactive dye resulted in an increase in the substantivity, compared with the parent 3carboxypyridinium- s-triazinyl dye. When two substantivity-conveying reactive groups were incorporated into a dye molecule, without changing the reactivity of the dye, the above effect is enhanced, resulting in higher colour yield than from the corresponding Kayacelon React dye. Since the substantivity-conveying reactive group is removed during the fixation of the dye, the high substantivity of the parent dye should not be an impediment to achieving good wet-fastness properties, without the need to use excessively long wash-off sequences.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the interaction between the conflicting ideologies of crusade and commerce, during the period when the Turkish maritime emirates of Anatolia became the primary target of western crusading endeavour. Through the close study of papal documents and archival evidence from the Italian mercantile republics, two principal areas are focussed on: firstly, the extent to which the temporal and spiritual mechanisms (e.g. trade licences and indulgences) introduced by the popes of the fourteenth century encouraged the Italian mercantile republics to participate in a crusade; secondly, the analysis of the policies of commercial exchange and military opposition adopted by the Latin states with regard to the Turks in the Aegean. The crusades in the Aegean are discussed in six chapters which broadly reflect the activities of the principal participants: 1) crusade negotiations during the pontificates of Clement V and John XXII: distractions to an Aegean crusade under Clement V; extrication from French influence under John XXII; gradual replacement of Byzantium as a target of the Aegean crusades during the 1320s; and the temporal and spiritual concessions granted by the popes to those Latin resisting the Turks in the Aegean; 2) the Zaccaria of Chios: their defence of the Aegean from Turkish attacks and the privileges they received from the papacy for this; 3) Venetian commercial activities in the Aegean: their alliances with and activities against the various Turkish emirates; 4) the 1334 naval league: the first anti-Turkish coalition; 5) the neglect of the Aegean crusades under Pope Benedict XII (1335-1342); 6) the Crusade of Smyrna and the climax of Latin efforts against the Turks in the first half of the fourteenth century (1343-1351). Although trade and crusade have often been regarded as incompatible by historians of the crusades (such as Stephen Runciman and Aziz Atiya), they both formed an integral, and inseparable, aspect of crusade policy and of western perceptions of the Turks.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Författaren till detta arbete har anledning att tro att piloter från olika flygsystem inom Flygvapnet känner olika stor grad av meningsfullhet med det arbete de utför. I detta arbete gör författaren en undersökning där han utifrån ett beteendevetenskapligt perspektiv försöker påvisa sådana skillnader mellan stridspiloter och transportflygpiloter. Samt vilka effekter dessa skillnader i så fall kan innebära för piloternas hälsa och motivation i såväl yrket som i livet i allmänhet. Författaren beskriver utifrån Aaron Antonovskys teori om känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) hur det går att förklara varför vissa människor är bättre rustade än andra för att klara av problematiska situationer eller svåra händelser. Vidare beskriver författaren även vikten av att individer känner en meningsfullhet i det arbete de utför och hur detta kan påverka deras vilja till att stanna kvar i det. Största delen av empirin till arbetet erhåller författaren genom en enkätundersökning bland piloter i Flygvapnet som flyger antingen JAS 39 Gripen eller C-130 Hercules. Resultatet av undersökningen är att författaren inte lyckas påvisa någon skillnad i känsla av sammanhang mellan de båda grupperna. De har utifrån detta resultat således likartade förutsättningar för att hantera motgångar och svåra situationer i livet. Författaren ser vidare en tendens till att transportflygpiloterna uppfattar sitt arbete som något mer meningsfullt än stridspiloterna, särskilt tydligt är detta i åldersintervallet 30-39 år. Författaren lyckas emellertid inte påvisa dessa skillnader som statistiskt signifikanta och utifrån uppmätt meningsfullhet med yrket drar författaren slutsatsen att de båda pilotgrupperna har likartade förutsättningar till att vilja stanna kvar inom sina respektive yrken.</p><br><p>The author of this work has reasons to believe that pilots from different systems within the Swedish air force experiences different degree of meaning with that work they carry out. In this essay the author does a survey where he on the basis of a behavior scientific perspective tries to identify such differences between fighter pilots and transport pilots. He also tries to describe what possible effects these differences, if they exist, could cause for the pilots' health and motivation. The author describes on the basis of Aaron Antonovskys theory about sense of coherence (SOC) how it is possible to explain why some people, better than other, manage to copewith difficult situations or threatening events. Furthermore the author describes the importance of feeling a purpose and meaningfulness with the work the pilots do and how this may affect their willingness to remain in their trade. The author has obtained most of the empirical material through a survey among pilots in the Swedish Air Force, flying either the JAS 39 Gripen or the C-130 Hercules. The result of the study is that the author is not able to detect any differences in sense of coherence (SOC) between the two groups of pilots. Based on this result they therefore seem to have similar abilities to handle adversities and difficult situations in life. The author also sees a tendency that cargo pilots experiences their work as something more meaningful than fighter pilots, this is particularly evident in the age 30-39 years. However, the author does not manage to prove these differences as statistically significant. Based on the study the author therefore draws the conclusionthat neither of the two different groups of pilots is more likely than the other to leave their profession due to lack of meaningfulness with what they are accomplishing.</p>

Lacey, Brian. "Investigation Into the Role of the C-Terminal Vicinal Cysteine Residues in High MR Thioredoxin Reductases." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2008. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/130.
Full textAbstract:
Mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TR) contains the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), which is essential for the enzyme’s catalytic activity. Substitution of the catalytic Sec residue for a cysteine (Cys) residue, results in a drop in kcat of 100- fold. Homologous high molecular weight TRs from other eukaryotes such as D. melanogaster and C. elegans, have naturally evolved a Sec to Cys substitution in their active sites and these enzymes function with high catalytic activity without the need for a Sec residue. Thus, various TRs can catalyze an identical reaction with either a Cys or Sec residue. A natural assumption in the field has always been that the lower nucleophilicity of a Cys thiol, relative to the selenol of Sec, is the reason for the much lower activity of the mammalian Cys-containing mutant. However, here I provide an alternative explanation. High Mr TRs contain either a Cys-Cys or Cys-Sec dyad that forms an eight-membered ring in the oxidized state during the redox cycle of the enzyme. These eight-membered ring structures are rare in protein structures, presumably due to the strain induced in the intervening peptide bond between the Cys residues. Here I take a “chemical approach” to studying the enzyme mechanism of TR by breaking it into two pieces. This approach is possible because of TR’s structural and mechanistic similarity to glutathione reductase (GR). In comparison to GR, TR contains an additional thiol-disulfide exchange step resulting from the presence of a sixteen amino acid C-terminal extension containing either a vicinal disulfide bond or vicinal selenylsulfide bond. This additional thiol-disulfide exchange step is in the form of the reduction and opening of the eight-membered ring motif. I have constructed a truncated version of the enzyme lacking the amino acid sequence possessing the ring motif so that I could isolate this ring-opening step from the rest of the catalytic cycle by using peptide disulfides/selenylsulfides as substrates. The results of this study using peptide substrates show that the ring opening step is the step of the catalytic cycle that is most effected by Sec to Cys substitution because the higher pKa of the Cys thiolate in comparison to the Sec selenolate means that the Cys residue must be protonated in this step.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis represents the first detailed study of the evolution of a medieval county border in south-midland England. It explores when and how the border between Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire might have been drawn and considers the impact it had on the societies located on either side. The findings are then related to Phythian-Adams’ idea of cultural provinces and his proposal of defining their boundaries by reference to culturally imposed county borders. Evidence from documents, archaeology, place-names and the landscape is used to suggest how both counties evolved from earlier Anglo-Saxon schemes of territorial organisation and how they developed as social, political and jurisdictional units in the period before the mid-fourteenth century. Counties were not the only possible foci for social cohesion, however, and the boundaries of other institutions - honours, religious houses and the church – are investigated to establish their relationship to those of the shires. The influence of the county border on the society and economy of the surrounding area is studied through a wide range of primary and secondary records which help shed light on the behaviour and mentality of border people. Numerical and statistical methods are frequently employed in analysing the data and results are presented making extensive use of maps of the border area. The accumulated evidence suggests that the eastern and western parts of the border evolved at different times and in different ways and, subsequently, had materially differing impacts on their localities. It is further concluded that, before c.1350, the findings are not wholly consistent either with the cultural provinces proposed, or with their detailed delimitation by the current county boundary. The precise reasons for those conclusions differ in respect of each side of the border but, ultimately arise from the varying speeds at which peripheral areas became fully integrated into the counties.

Crosby, Brian. "The choral foundation of Durham Cathedral, c.1350-c.1650." Thesis, Durham University, 1993. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/769/.
Full textAbstract:
The muniments of Durham cathedral, city, and diocese have been explored in order to present and assess the contribution made by lay musicians to worship in the cathedral. By 1335-60 the boys and men had become sufficiently established to merit specific payments. Whether or not the lay Cantor dates back that far is uncertain, but in 1390 it was agreed that what was required was a Cantor-Instructor. No proof for the implementation of this earlier than 1415 has come to light, nor has any contract earlier than that made by the monastery with John steel in 1430. From it and those of his successors, and from Rites of Durham, a picture emerges of the Cantor's duties and of the part played by boys and men in the daily Lady Mass in the Galilee chapel and in the Mass of the Name of Jesus on Fridays in the nave. Following the suppression of its monastic arm in 1539 Durham was re-constituted a cathedral only in 1541 . The pattern of worship established c.1560 continued until the 1620s, when the innovations introduced by John Cosin caused Peter Smart (a Calvinist) to preach a vituperative sermon on 27 July 1628. From the litigation which ensued much emerges about whole ordering of worship in Durham since the 1560s. Produced whilst the ceremonialists held sway were several sets of new music books for the choir. Some 40% of these are still in Durham. such is the detail in the muniments that it has proved possible to suggest when the books were transcribed and by whom. It has also proved possible to identify the contributions of no fewer than eight Durham scribes to the music books at Peterhouse, Cambridge. That their work should be so far afield is explained by the fact that when John Cosin became Master of Peterhouse i n 1635 he re-established the post of College organist and drew heavily upon the Durham repertoire. The succession of Cantors and Masters of the Choristers provided the framework on which to interweave details of their lives, historical events and musical developments. Biographical information relating to the other members of the choir has been assembled in Appendix 1. This is followed other Appendices many of which present together all occurrences of certain fields of information.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the relations between romance and texts of religious instruction in England between c.1170–c.1330, taking as its principal textual corpus the exceptionally rich literary traditions of insular French romance and religious writing that subsist during this period. It argues that romance is a mode which engages closely with religious and ethical questions from a very early stage, and demonstrates the discourses of opposition in which both kinds of text participate throughout the period. The thesis offers substantial readings of a number of neglected insular French religious texts of the thirteenth century, including Robert Grosseteste's Chasteau d'Amour, John of Howden's Rossignos, and Robert of Gretham's Miroir, alongside new readings of romances such as Gui de Warewic and Ipomedon. This juxtaposition of romance narrative and religious instruction sheds new light onto both kinds of text: romance emerges as a mode with deep-rooted didactic qualities; insular French religious literature is shown to be intensely concerned with the need to compete with romance’s entertaining appeal in literary culture. This oppositional discourse profoundly affects the form of instructional writing and romance alike. The discussion of the interactions between insular French romance and instructional literature presented here also serves as a new pre-history of Middle English romance. The final chapter of the thesis offers several new readings of texts from the Auchinleck manuscript, including the canonical romance Sir Orfeo and the neglected, puzzling Speculum Gy de Warewyk. These readings demonstrate that fourteenthcentury romance intelligently adapts the material it inherits from Francophone literature to a new cultural situation. In these acts of reformation, Middle English romance reveals itself as a discursive space capable of accommodating a wide range of ethical and ideological affiliations; the complex negotiations between romance and instructional literature in the preceding centuries are an important cultural condition for this widening of possibilities.

SYNTHESIS OF PYRROLO[2,1-c] [1,4] BENZODIAZEPINE -11- HYDRAZINYL DEVRIVATIES AS A POTENTIAL ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT
David Mingle and Abbas G. Shilabin Department of Chemistry, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN 37614, USA
ABSTRACT Pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4] benzodiazepine (PBD) is a class of natural products obtained from various actinomycetes which have both anti-tumor and antibiotic activities. They can bind to specific sequences of DNA that can trigger a biological response which is of pharmacological interest. PBD can also prevent cell division leading to death of the bacteria. This research focuses on the synthesis of novel PBD-11-hydrazinyl derivatives using a multi step synthesis. PBD-dilactam was initialy produced using isatoic anhydride and (S)-proline which was then converted to the PBD-thiolactam using Lawesson's reagent. Reaction of thiolactam with hydrazine in ethanol afforded PBD-11-hydrazinyl in good yield. Condensation of PBD-11-hydrazinyl with aldehydes possessing various substitutions was performed to generate (S,E)-11-[2-(phenylmethylene)hydrazono]-1,2,3,10,11,11a-hexahydro-5H-benzo[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-5-one. 1H-NMR , 13C-NMR , DEPT and GC-MS were used to characterize the products. Inhibition activity of the products were carried out using TEM-1 and p99 β-lactamases. Microbial activity will be conducted in collaboration with Natural Product Center at University of Mississippi on the final products.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the history of a family whose later generations were to become quintessential members of the gentry and how they managed their lands and lives. It is based on the early-fourteenth century cartulary left by Sir Roger of Okeover. The cartulary was probably motivated by Roger's childhood experience of the disputes over the wardship of himself and his lands. The cartulary is supplemented by cognate sources including the cartulary of the Abbey of Burton upon Trent and original documents. These provide an exceptional record stretching back to the early twelfth century and beyond. Chapter 3 argues that the origins of the Okeovers and their occupation of the manor of Okeover, held from the Anglo-Saxon Abbey of Burton, probably predate the Conquest. The Okeovers held lands from several individuals and institutions. Most of the land probably had origins before the Conquest and was held on a basis that later came to be categorised as socage tenure. This differs from land held by military service, a tenurial practice probably introduced by the Normans. This distinction was particularly important in cases of wardship. Chapter 4 shows that the Okeover's vertical social relationships with local magnates, particularly the Ferrers of Tutbury Castle, varied with the strength of the head of the Ferrers family at the time. Chapter 5 argues that the obligation to pay services in cash and to generate a cash income increased the relative independence of the family. Chapter 6 shows that support of younger siblings was an important objective resulting in horizontal alliances with other local families. Chapter 7 examines the problems of financial over-extension the family faced. This history of the Okeovers makes no claim to have produced results that necessarily apply more generally. It does, however, suggest that it would be productive to undertake further research into early twelfth-century deeds distinguishing tenures by socage from those by military service.

De tels pavements, parce qu’ils témoignent de la rencontre entre deux traditions techniques et culturelles, apparaissent comme des objets d’étude privilégiés pour appréhender conjointement les questions relatives à l’origine, la production et la consommation que pose la « faïence » à ses débuts en France. À partir de l’approche globale du cas de Suscinio, choisi en raison de son exemplarité, les chemins que cette technique exogène a empruntés et les raisons de son utilisation ont pu être précisés. Les données techniques, iconographiques et analytiques collectées grâce à la démarche méthodologique proposée apportent de nouveaux éléments de réponse. Ainsi, l’importation de produits finis et l’expérimentation locale ont pu être exclues au profit de l’importation de savoirs techniques ou du transfert de connaissances. Le répertoire iconographique et le style de tradition gothique ont montré qu’il y avait eu adaptation de la technique à un nouveau milieu socio-culturel. Son utilisation dans des lieux de l’édifice particuliers et particulièrement importants ne servait pas seulement une démonstration de pouvoir mais lui conférait également le statut de marqueur spatial, hiérarchique et social<br>Tin-glazed earthenware manufacturing and use changed from its beginnings in the refined courts of the Islamic Far East up to its manufacturing in the West. In France, the technique was introduced during the Gothic period. It appears simultaneously, in specific geographical areas, at times used in the composition of luxurious floor-tiles where it often coexists with indigenous transparent high-lead glazed tiles. Such floor-tiles bear witness to the meeting between two technical and cultural traditions. That is the reason why they are particularly appropriate when studying together issues relating to the geographical origin, production and consumption of tin-glazed earthenware technique at its beginnings in France. The ways followed by this exogenous technique and the reasons for its use were clarified through the overall approach of the exemplary case of Suscinio. Technical, iconographical and analytical data collected by using a multidisciplinary methodology have provided some answers. Imported products and local experimentation can be excluded in favor of imported skills or transfer of knowledge. The Gothic tradition of the iconography and the style showed that the technique was adapted to a new socio-cultural context. Its use in particular and particularly important places was not only reserved to a manifestation of power but also worked as spatial, hierarchical and social markers

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I examine the various ways in which medieval authors used the term "lollard" to mean something other than "Wycliffite." In the case of William Langland's Piers Plowman, I trace the usage of the lollard-trope through the C-text and link it to Langland's dependence on the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. Regarding Chaucer's Parson's Tale, I establish the orthodoxy of the tale's speaker by comparing his tale to contemporaneous texts of varying orthodoxy, and I link the Parson's being referred to as a "lollard" to the eschatological message of his tale. In the chapter on The Book of Margery Kempe, I examine that the overemphasis on Margery's potential Wycliffism causes everyone in The Book to overlook her heretical views on universal salvation. Finally, in comparing some of John Lydgate's minor poems with the macaronic sermons of Oxford, MS Bodley 649, I establish the orthodox character of late-medieval English anti-Wycliffism that these disparate works share. In all, this dissertation points up the eschatological character of the lollard-trope and looks at the various ends to which medieval authors deployed it.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of credit transactions in the English countryside. It is based on the evidence of private lawsuits of debt recorded in the rolls of medieval manorial courts. Most of the credit studied was relatively small scale and involved peasants. The dissertation explores a range of issues to do with legal aspects of debt, the status of creditors and debtors and the nature of the transaction in which they were engaged. While consisting primarily of a detailed investigation of two sets of manor court records, the dissertation aims to draw broader conclusions by comparing the two local studies with other existing evidence and research. The dissertation is in two parts. The first part begins by looking at changes over time in the number of new debt cases begun in individual courts. It asks whether legal changes specific to particular jurisdictions may have encouraged or discouraged the initiation of litigation. This involves a detailed consideration of manor court procedure and personnel as it affected debt and similar types of case, as well as the relationship between manor courts and other categories of medieval tribunal that handled debt business. The second part provides close analysis of the people who participated in litigation. Their social and economic status, place of residence and patterns of lending and borrowing are considered. Also, attention is given to the subject matter of the recorded loans, their size and possible purposes. Part II is closely linked with Part I, since it explores the possibility that particular local legal jurisdictions tended to foster characteristic forms of credit market and participation in that market.

Full textAbstract:
The eleven illuminated missals at the core of this thesis share a distinctive scale that sets them apart from the majority of other decorated missals. Their scale was a key factor in the visual and ritual experiences they offered their patrons and their earliest users. Missals made in the later fourteenth century and the early fifteenth century included some of the physically largest examples of this genre of book ever made. Containing the text of the late medieval Mass, and read by its priest during the ritual’s performance, they were essential components of the ritual that resulted in the physical embodiment of Christ in the Eucharist. Large missals were a distinctive variation of the Mass book. However, existing scholarship has not offered sufficient reasons for a wide-ranging phenomenon of large missal patronage and manufacture. This thesis argues that the scale of these books was a central rhetorical device that magnified their significance and reception. At the heart of this adoption of the large-scale format was the aggrandisement of the Mass itself, reaffirming its place as the central rite of the Christian Church and contemporary devotions about the ritual. Study of these eleven manuscripts suggests that their exceptional size and the treatment of their interior designs supporting their visuality were issues for this particular period. Explanations for the adoption of large Mass books are given by examining their visibility in the Mass, as part of what is termed here the ‘altarscape’. Having established this, this thesis offers reasons for why patrons and clerics used a cumbersome large format for the text of the ritual. The missals unmistakeably reasserted orthodox values in the face of challenges to conventional understanding of the Eucharist from those holding non-conforming views. Simultaneously, the emphasis on expanded proportions arguably reflects contemporary practices of commemoration where being remembered was an essential part of dying well. And finally, the interior and exterior scale of these books was used for new devotional themes, including the Virgin.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the family in the late medieval and Tudor period. It is intended to demonstrate the potential of gentry studies which adopt an interdisciplinary framework through a combination of history and archaeology. It is also an examination of gentry identity and its relationship to the family. A single family will be used for this examination: the Gascoigne family of Yorkshire. Multiple branches will be examined, including the branches of Gawthorpe, Lasingcroft, Cardington and Hunslet. This enables the assessment to include the variances in identities between each branch of the family. Ultimately, this investigation reveals the complexity of identity within a singular family and posits the consequences of this in the wider historiographical debate. Chapter One of this thesis will introduce the Gascoigne Family. It will bring together evidence from a myriad of different sources to recreate, as far as possible, the Gascoigne family history. Chapter Two assesses the social networks of the family, and ultimately discerns that career-based networks tend to be short-lived in comparison with networks based upon kinship and location. Chapters Three and Four consider the involvement of the Gascoigne family in politics and the law. They examine office-holding and magnate affinities, and propose that the appointment of William Gascoigne I as Chief Justice of England was the culmination of a period of politicisation within the legal sphere. Chapter Five examines the family's relationship with the landscape, with specific focus on tomb monuments and manorial complexes. This thesis concludes by showing that the Gascoigne family as a single entity cannot be adequately defined, and that interdisciplinary frameworks offer an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the past.

Full textAbstract:
Ripon Minster has usually been discussed in the context of England’s cathedrals and monastic churches. Its status as parish church has been overlooked. This thesis examines its role as parish church and its place in the society of its parish. An interdisciplinary approach is employed to analyse both the building and the institution. The following subjects are addressed: the exercise of power and authority by the minster clergy, the social significance of the use of space in the minster, the renovation of the church building after 1450, the minster as an employer of building craftsmen, and the minster as landlord. The Chapter of canons wielded significant power over the parish with its authority coming from St Wilfrid. The institutional aspect of the minster set it apart from most contemporary parish churches and had an effect on how parishioners could use and alter the building, and also had a significant impact on liturgy and commemoration. Nevertheless, lay foundation of guilds within the minster and widespread support for the building campaigns after 1450 demonstrate devotion to the minster as parish church. By analysing the use of the building, the disruptive effects of the tower repair and nave renovation campaigns are demonstrated. While the primary focus is on the building and its use, the minster cannot be understood in its social context without examining it in the wider parish. Analysis of the chapels and charitable institutions of the parish shows that the minster became increasingly important as parish church around 1400. The Fabric’s employment practices and urban estate management are also significant in that they show how the minster’s needs fuelled the building industry and shaped the urban landscape in a time when the Fabric was forced to respond to the social changes caused by the Black Death.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates the cultural work of gestures in the religious life of late medieval England. It exposes a void in current scholarship to suggest that gestural performances lie at the centre of contemporary modes of learning, highlighting how embodied engagements with faith allow for a new analysis of the nature of late medieval religious practices and teaching. The study establishes a sustainable grammar of religious gestures in late medieval England, tracing sources of encouragement for embodied performance before examining how established corporeal regimes could be distorted and re-appropriated. The thesis begins with an introduction to the engagements with gestural politics that have emerged in medieval textual studies in recen t years to suggest that gestural studies may be a tangible, flowering field. I turn to the liturgy as the starting point for my own examination of the gestural culture of late medieval Christianity, exploring verbal and bodily engagement by preachers and congregants with generalised notions of gestural behaviour, while highlighting distortions of practice in relation to the liturgical year. The thesis then examines how the gestures of the Church are used and misused in contemporaly religious drama, noting the distinct mannerisms that are associated with particular saints and biblical figures, while outlining the gestural transgressions that occur, especially with relation to diabolic characters. The next section focuses on the relationship between gestures and the imagination in Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ and Margery Kempe's Book to highlight the individualistic possibilities of gestural performance in the fifteenth century. The final chapter examines the theological rebuke to this gestural culture, specifically in the crafting of the Book of Common Prayer, highlighting how reformers in the sixteenth century dealt with the corporeal engagement with God which had flourished previously, with specific relation to visual and material culture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the political, economic and social fortunes of London's drapers in the Late Middle Ages, and the city's developing role in both the domestic and export trades in cloth. The first section considers the early development of the drapers' guild in the context of political and economic pressures. The city-wide ramifications of collaboration among drapers intent on protecting mutual economic interests are discussed with particular reference to John of Northampton, draper, who was politically-active in late fourteenth century London. An exploration of the identity or identities of London drapers sets the guild's significance in the wider context of other networks of association based on residence, kinship, apprenticeship, property-holding and parish-based brotherhoods. The next section discusses London's emerging role as the distributive centre of an expanding trade in English cloth. The role of cloth consumers (particularly noble and gentle households) in increasing London's magnetism is considered through an analysis of the purchase accounts of the Great Wardrobe. Aspects of investment in the domestic production of cloth, and the relationship between drapers, London clothworkers and provincial clothiers, is brought to light by a study of particulars of ulnage accounts, and of debt and Chancery cases involving drapers. The final section, based on particular accounts of custom and subsidy, supplements what is known of London's expanding role in the cloth export trade with an analysis of the various mercantile interests behind these exports. In addition, the drapers' path from the export of wool and import of Flemish cloth in the early fourteenth century, to the export of cloth from the late fourteenth century, to a diversity in both imports and exports which was born of growing economic confidence by the end of the fifteenth century, is discussed alongside the growing competition faced by drapers as domestic suppliers and retailers of cloth.

Full textAbstract:
The personal naming system of England underwent a profound transformation during the medieval period. In the eighth century, a large number of unique, dithematic names of Old English origin were created for individuals. These names were rarely shared by people in the same family or community. By the fourteenth century, this system had changed into one where very few names, predominantly of continental or biblical origin, were shared unequally by the majority of the population, often combined with a byname or surname. The changes which took place have generally been examined through the prism of the Norman Conquest, and the change of system has often been seen to coincide with the imposition of Norman customs. This thesis reexamines the English case in the context of recent continental research. It carries out quantitive studies of 14 corpora of names collected from 11 different medieval English sources dating from c.800 to c.1300. These studies reveal a number of broad trends in the changes that took place to naming across the period. This quantitative analysis is combined with micro-analytical studies of naming decisions within specific families and communities. The results presented in this thesis suggest that the transformation to the English naming system was similar in many ways to that which took place across much of continental Europe during the same period, and it argues that the changes on both sides of the Channel had related systemic causes which had their roots in a fundamental reorganisation of the lived environments of the people of medieval Europe and the communities of which they were a part. As such, it has implications for the history of personal naming in both England and Europe, as well as the wider historiography of England during this period.

La thèse étudie la stratification et l'évolution des élites de la cité. Le passage à une société de notables s'opére entre Sylla et Néron. Les parcours municipaux (de nombreuses fonctions existent) dépendent de la dignité familiale. Quelques familles (Claudi, Vedii) sont très influentes, mais la présence de médecins, athlètes, rhéteurs, affranchis au Conseil prouve la mobilité de la société. La fusion entre Ephésiens romanisés et immigrants italiens (souvent des Déliens affranchis) est réalisée vers 100. Les officiels romains présents facilitent l'accès au 1er siècle des Ephésiens à l'asiarchie et à la dignité équestre. Le premier sénateur apparaît vers 100 ; les accès au sénat se multiplient entre 190 et 200. La mobilité est facilitée par des approts des cités d'Asie, des mariages décidés au koinon, des départs vers Rome. Les femmes contrôlent leur argent et jouent un rôle public. L'évergétisme très varié est contrôlé par le Conseil. La terre et le commerce sont les sources principales des fortunes. Les statues, maisons, sacrophages retrouvés permettent des identifications avec des familles connues. Ces élites ouvertes ont réussi leur intégration dans l'Empire.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents and contextualises a distinct cluster of fresco cycles depicting the life of Mary Magdalen in the central-eastern Alpine regions of Trentino, Tyrol and the Swiss Grisons from the late middle ages to the early Renaissance. Located for the most part in the marginal rural parish ambit and reflecting the agenda of the local patron, these cycles offer an alternate manifestation of the popularity and relevence of a major saint at this time. As such my thesis is a corrective to the precedence placed on the role of the mendicant orders in the development and transmission of the Magdalen cult and its visual canon. Through a series of interrelated case study chapters, I examine the narrative mural paintings found in the churches of Dusch, Rencio, Vadena, Seefeld, Cusiano and Pontresina, with three further appendices presenting relevant comparative works and restoration details. Each chapter sheds light on a neglected but crucial area of late medieval painting, drawing to the fore their individual interpretations of the Magdalen cult but also their affinities to one another. In particular, my thesis establishes the possibility of diverse patronage sources, modes of image reception and access. Moreover, it documents the sophisticated handling of issues such as gender, religious drama and the relevance of the life cycle liturgies, all of which contribute to the many iconographical innovations. In the absence of mendicant association, I suggest that the transmission of the visual cult of Mary Magdalen was made possible by itinerant artists and workshops, as well as a generational network of influence radiating from regional centres. As a result, my thesis contributes to a growing interest in the organisation, life and relevance of rural parish churches and communes and particularly those in remote areas.

Full textAbstract:
The success of the First Crusade by the Christian armies caught the interest and arrested the imagination of contemporaries, stimulating the production of a large number of historical narratives. Four eyewitness accounts, as well as letters written by the crusaders to the West, were taken up by later authors, re-worked and re-fashioned into new narratives; a process which continued throughout the twelfth century and beyond. This thesis sets out to explore why contemporaries continued to write about the First Crusade in light of medieval attitudes towards the past, how authors constructed their narratives and how the crusade and the crusaders were remembered throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It will analyse the development in the way the First Crusade was recorded and investigate the social, religious, intellectual and political influences dictating change: How, why and under what circumstances was the story re- told? What changed in the re-telling? What ideas and concepts were the authors trying to communicate and what was their meaning for contemporaries? The thesis will also aim to place these texts not only in their historical but also in their literary contexts, analyse the literary traditions from which authors were writing, and consider the impact the crusade had on medieval literature. The focus will be on Latin histories of the First Crusade, especially those written in England and France, which produced the greatest number of narratives. Those written in the Levant, the subject of these histories, will also be discussed, as well as texts written in the Empire and in Italy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the roles played by craft organisations or 'guilds' in medieval urban society through a case study of the tailors of London in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Using the records of the City and of the guilds themselves, including the important early records of the Tailors, this study seeks to answer important questions about the nature of these organisations and the impact which they had upon urban society. Far from being the mere 'agents' of municipal governments, craft guilds often performed important and constructive functions on behalf of the artisans themselves. The first two chapters examine the extent to which voluntarism characterized the activities of many of these associations: the guild of London tailors, though unusual in the scale and scope of its spiritual and charitable provision, embodied widely shared principles of association which were not articulated solely through parish guilds. Subsequent chapters look at the ways in which the Tailors' guild expressed and articulated other concerns of their members and those outside the ruling guild: in the sphere of City politics, for instance, the Tailors came to represent the aspirations of many poorer citizens through their struggle for civic prominence. Likewise, in the sphere of economic regulation, this thesis demonstrates the ways in which the Tailors' guild, among others, was able to introduce flexible and pragmatic policies of enforcement, based upon the shared interests of those inside and outside the decision-making groups. The final section of the thesis then examines more closely the limitations of impressions of economic structures derived purely from guild statutes. First, the nature of apprenticeship and servanthood in medieval London is examined with particular emphasis upon the differing perceptions of these 'life-cycle institutions' by all concerned. Secondly, a systematic analysis of the structure of the tailoring industry in London is carried out and explores the remarkable diversity of economic life in the capital.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on papal overlordship of monarchs in the Middle Ages. It examines the nature of alliances between popes and kings which have traditionally been called ‘feudal’ or – more recently – ‘protective’. Previous scholarship has assumed that there was a distinction between kingdoms under papal protection and kingdoms under papal overlordship. I argue that protection and feudal overlordship were distinct categories only from the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Before then, papal-royal alliances tended to be ad hoc and did not take on more general forms. At the beginning of the thirteenth century kingdoms started to be called ‘fiefs’ of the papacy. This new type of relationship came from England, when King John surrendered his kingdoms to the papacy in 1213. From then on this ‘feudal’ relationship was applied to the pope’s relationship with the king of Sicily. This new – more codified – feudal relationship seems to have been introduced to the papacy by the English royal court rather than by another source such as learned Italian jurists, as might have been expected. A common assumption about how papal overlordship worked is that it came about because of the active attempts of an over-mighty papacy to advance its power for its own sake. But the people who gained from papal overlordship were those outside the papal curia who could instrumentalize papal power for their own ends. It was up to kings, regents and their councillors to decide when and whether to use papal overlordship and protection. Papal overlordship was a tool of royal more than of papal power.
