Abstract:

This book explores the co-development of political, social, economic, and artistic networks of Florentines in the Kingdom of Hungary during the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg. Analyzing the social network of these politicians, merchants, artisans, royal officers, dignitaries of the Church, and noblemen is the primary objective of this book. The study addresses both descriptively the patterns of connectivity and causally the impacts of this complex network on cultural exchanges of various types, among these migration, commerce, diplomacy, and artistic exchange.

Abstract:

This book examines a group of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century figural silks depicting legendary lovers from the Khamsa (Quintet) of epic Persian poetry. Codified by Nizami Ganjavi in the twelfth century, the Khamsa gained popularity in the Persian-speaking realm through illustrated manuscripts produced for the elite, creating a template for illustrating climactic scenes in the love stories of “Layla and Majnun” and “Khusrau and Shirin” that appear on early modern silks. Attributed to Safavid Iran, the publication proposes that dress fashioned from these silks represented Sufi ideals based o

This chapter examines the Catholic Modernists who belonged to the generation of 1890 (Dreyfus).

Abstract:

This chapter evaluates the competing ways that ‘style’ has been said to operate in language. Rather than figure thought as primary and pre-verbal, and language as a secondary delivery system, this chapter recommends a messier relationship, whereby writing is not a simple act of translating but also a means of clarifying or generating ideas. The twenty subsequent chapters of this book exemplify this account of style as a mode of thinking through. Outlines of these individual essays are given, and correspondences drawn. The value of the book as a whole is addressed, as it contributes to scholars

Abstract:

Discussions of the authorship of the Gospel of John must answer two questions: who is the Beloved Disciple who is portrayed as the book’s primary source of information, and how is this individual related to the author, John the evangelist? On the first question, scholars are divided on whether the Beloved Disciple is a real historical individual or an ideal symbolic figure. Data from the text itself and from social-science perspectives on the reputations of key figures from the past suggest that both are correct: the Beloved Disciple was a legendary associate of Jesus whose presentation reflec

It consists of a series of letters largely written by two Persian travelers to Paris, who allow modern readers to view Parisian life from the perspective of an outsider.

Abstract:

What is ‘style’, and how does it relate to thought in language? It has often been treated as something merely linguistic, independent of thought, ornamental; stylishness for its own sake. Or else it has been said to subserve thought, by mimicking, delineating, or heightening ideas that are already expressed in the words. This ambitious and timely book explores a third, more radical possibility, in which style operates as a verbal mode of thinking through.

When should you engage with difficult arguments against your cherished controversial beliefs? The primary conclusion of this book is that your obligations to engage with counterarguments are more limited than is often thought.

This conclusion runs counter to aspects of the Millian political tradition and political liberalism, as well as some of the informal logic literature on argumentation.

This chapter demonstrates the social depth of politics in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, focusing the theory and practice of the ars rhetorica.

Since commoners were its intended primary audience, Cicero argued for ‘the ultimately popular nature of eloquence’.

Her redemption, however, depends on the love of a good woman: her husband’s daughter by his deceased first wife.

This book takes up three apparently anthropocentric myths that are central to Abrahamic religions—those of the primal human, the incarnated figure of a redeemer, and the resurrected body.

Abstract:

Based largely on Neville Chamberlain’s own words and official government documents, this book describes how were it not for Chamberlain’s powerful, dominating presence in the British government, World War II might have been avoided. Was Adolf Hitler hell-bent on inciting a war, and there was no course of action by any national leader that could have prevented World War II? Or, did Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement policy with Germany and slowness in strengthening England’s armed forces directly encourage Hitler to strike, dooming Chamberlain’s successor Winston Churchill to face

Chapter 8d discusses carcinoma of the penis, which is typically a squamous carcinoma arising on the penile shaft or glands in an uncircumcised patient. Management may be by primary surgery, either total amputation or partial amputation with reconstruction, or primary radiotherapy. Primary radiotherapy is indicated for those patients with T1 and T2 tumours <4 cm in diameter, particularly in those unfit for surgery, those with locally advanced disease and fixed inguinal lymph nodes, and for patients in whom surgical treatment may require total amputation and where they choose to have organ pr

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the evolution of figure skating after World War II. World War II was more devastating to the skating community than was World War I, primarily because figure skating between the wars had become more widespread. The seven-year lapse in international competition retested figure skating's resilience. However, it not only survived but developed into a greater sport than it was before. Before the war, North Americans did not win any European, World, or Olympic titles. When the European and World Championships were reestablished in 1947, Barbara Ann Scott of Canada won gold me

Abstract:

This book advances an innovative look at a well known, if arguably often misunderstood, historic building typology: the eighteenth-century brick terraced (or row) house. Created for the upper tier of the social spectrum, these houses were largely designed and built by what is customarily regarded as the lower tier of the architectural hierarchy; that is, by artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers and related tradesmen. From London and Dublin to Boston and Philadelphia, these houses collectively formed the streets and squares that became the links and pivots of ‘enlightened’
