Part III discusses prosulas according to their placement in the liturgical calendar. It is structured into three chapters, the first providing a general discussion of prosulas as glosses and a complete liturgical table of all Beneventan prosulas, the second examining the prosulas of the Temporal (the feasts connected with the life and mission of Jesus), and the third analyzing those of the Sanctoral (the feasts of the Saints). Prosulas of the Temporal were particularly abundant in manuscripts copied in female establishments, possibly as a reflection of the special devotion to Jesus as the nuns’ spiritual spouse; those of the Sanctoral tend to favor saints from Africa or West Asia, the perceived cradles of Christianity, to emphasize the prestige of the local Church.

Despite the presence of a third-party candidate, 15 newspapers gave less total space to the '68 campaign than to those in '64 and '60. Evidence suggests that equal space per candidate is still the norm.

Inthe early months of 1327 the communities of the Angevin kingdom of Sicily were ordered to send representatives to Naples, there to discuss means of opposing ‘the lord Lewis, duke of Bavaria:qui in Italiam transire disposuit et regnum Sicilie invadere, servans antiquum odium belli et interitus Corradini.’ The reference to the last Hohenstaufen in this contemporary comment on Lewis' Italian enterprise is at first sight surprising. During the half-century following Conradin's execution the prestige of the empire in German hands had fallen steeply in the estimation of western Europe; all the activity of Dante's emperor could not disguise that fact. From time to time the Angevins at Naples urged the abolition of the institution, as something of which the usefulness was now outworn. Other solutions were being talked of, such as the setting up of a separate hereditary kingdom in Lombardy or the transference by election or papal provision of the imperial title to the ruling house of France. Perhaps too much importance has been attributed to some of these schemes, though there is no reason to doubt the seriousness of French ambitions to acquire as much as possible of the western possessions of the empire. But their frequent recurrence, together with the known weakness of the German kingship, does indicate a climate uncongenial to a repetition of the themes of Hohenstaufen imperialism by a German ruler in the third decade of the fourteenth century. Consequently Lewis' conflict with the papacy has an anachronistic air. Long ago Gregorovius cast a stereotype destined to wear well, when he wrote that ‘this afterpiece’ was saved from being ‘an utterly unbearable caricature of a great past’ only by the ‘progress of human thought’ with which it was associated.

<p>The purpose of my thesis has been to establish the reasons for adapting Shakespeare for children in the modern age and to see if adaptations are influenced by the time they are written. From my analysis of forty- two adaptations for children of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, covering a period of almost two hundred years, three distinct trends have emerged. The first is the evolution of Shakespeare, in terms of his reputation and literary prestige. The second is the growth in the variety of adaptations of Shakespeare for children. The third is the tendency of treatments to reflect the eras in which they were produced.  This project represents an under-discussed field of Shakespeare studies. Comparing a wide variety of texts in the context of the time they were written has been neglected, as has the comparison of texts in different eras. This project covers seven time periods (with a chapter devoted to each): 1800 to 1840 (The Beginning); 1850 to 1910 (The Golden Age), 1919 to 1939 (Between the Wars); 1940 to 1959 (Post War Recovery); 1960 to 1979 (Performance Adaptations); 1980 to 1989 (Shakespeare in Schools) and 1990 to 1999 (End of a Millennium).  I argue three points: The first is that the prestige of Shakespeare has been systematically and consistently reinforced in each generation echoing his development from England’s greatest writer to an international icon. The second is that adaptations of MND have been influenced for the past 200 years by education in one way or another, either for pedagogic use or as metatheatrical device, ensuring an increasing variety of adaptations. The third is that MND has been rewritten to suit a specific era and audience.</p>

This chapter explores ecumenical methodology. It is organized in six sections. The first reflects on ecumenism as a ‘method’, a ‘way’, variously understood, about which there is a second-order methodological discourse concerning how it is best pursued. The second reflects on the variant approaches of ‘Life and Work’ ecumenism and ‘Faith and Order’ ecumenism. The third assesses some of the strategies which have hitherto been important in bilateral dialogue and identifies the need now for an ecumenical gear-change. The fourth section pursues this idea by focusing on a strategy which has come to be referred to as ‘receptive ecumenism’. Following an exploration of the methodological implications of this strategy in relation to bilateral dialogues in the fifth section, the sixth section finally explores its implications at the level of the local church.

Ao celebrarmos 50 anos do início do Concílio Vaticano II, nada mais natural que tentar fazer uma avaliação deste evento na vida da Igreja. Tarefa ingente, dada a profusão de temas e comentários posteriores. Assim, limitamos nosso estudo ao escolher a Constituição Dogmática Lumen Gentium e ao optar por uma ótica latino-americana. Numa primeira parte, expomos o inevitável conflito resultante das diversas interpretações da eclesiologia conciliar, embora sem pretender ser completos. Numa segunda parte, o texto se concentra mais na questão da colegialidade ou sinodalidade eclesial, no período pós-conciliar, com ênfase na importância da Igreja Local para o futuro. A terceira parte se ocupa com a emergência de um laicato adulto na Igreja, para terminar, numa quarta parte, com algumas observações conclusivas, que, embora imperfeitas e fragmentadas, nos parecem necessárias à continuidade do processo deslanchado pelo Concílio.Abstrackt: Since we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Vatican II, it was just natural that we should try to make an assessment of this event in the life of the Church. Given the multitude of issues dealt with and of the comments that followed, this is not an easy task. We limited the scope of our study, therefore, by choosing to examine just the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium and only from a Latin American perspective. In a first part, although we do not claim to have covered the issue completely, we expose the inevitable conflict resulting from the different interpretations of the conciliar ecclesiology. In the second part, the text focuses more on the issue of the ecclesial collegiality or synodality in the post-conciliar period, with special emphasis on the future importance of the local church. The third part deals with the emergence of an adult laity in the Church, and finally, the fourth part has some concluding remarks, which, though imperfect and fragmented, seem necessary for the continuation of the process unleashed by the Council.

This article examines Judge John Woolsey’s famous 1933 U.S. District Court decision declaring Ulysses not obscene, a ruling that legalized the novel’s importation into the U.S. and paved the way for Random House’s 1934 edition. “U.S. v. One Book Called ‘Ulysses’” was the third (and most important) in a trio of obscenity cases that Woolsey decided in the early 1930s, and in all three cases he heard arguments from ACLU lawyer Morris Ernst. A deeper understanding of Woolsey’s decision and its importance must restore its larger contexts, and this essay considers the decision’s unusual features—its sparse use of case history, its rhetorical flourishes, its outsize stature—through a detailed consideration of Judge Woolsey himself. Several unexamined documents (in archives and in private hands) help clarify our heretofore hazy picture of Woolsey, and a clearer image suggests that Woolsey’s decision relies not upon the standard authority of case law but upon what we might call prestige. What makes Judge Woolsey’s literary bent both compelling and “dangerous” (in the words of Judge Learned Hand) is that a decision like U.S. v. Ulysses highlights the resemblance between the prestige of literature and the authority of the law.

Herbert Graham Cannon, Beyer Professor in the University of Manchester, died in a London hospital on 6 January 1963, at the age of sixty-five. He had been for more than forty years a leading figure among British zoologists. An inspiring teacher, a vigorous and controversial writer, he had contributed greatly to the advancement of zoology by his researches on arthropodan animals and, in particular, by his interpretations of the embryology of the Crustacea and of the nature of their feeding mechanisms. Graham Cannon was born on 14 April 1897, in Wimbledon, the third child of a family of four. His father David William Cannon was a compositor in the firm of Eyre and Spottiswoode and was for several years engaged in the preparation of maps and papers for the India Office; his mother was the daughter of a Charles Graham who owned and drove one of the first horse-buses to run on a regular service in south London. David Cannon’s weekly wage was little enough for the needs of a largish family and when Graham was about five years old the parents moved from Wimbledon to a house in Brixton near to which there were some good free schools. Cannon was sent for a time to the local council school and, on winning a scholarship, he moved on to Wilson’s Grammar School in Camberwell where he followed the normal grammar school curriculum specializing, in the higher forms, in science subjects in preparation for entrance to a University. He took little part in field games, but he was interested in chess and rifle shooting. He also enjoyed making things, and early developed a facility for drawing and sketching. As evidence of this I have been told that one of his schoolmasters, the father of a present Professor of Zoology, thought sufficiently well of the young Cannon’s drawings to keep them to the day of his retirement as examples of the work of his more talented pupils. But Graham’s main love was music. He had a good singing voice and was for several years a choirboy at the local church where, on special occasions such as the Christmas and Easter services, he and his brother would almost invariably be called upon to take the solo parts.

The most famous of Henri Beyle's pseudonyms is Stendhal, but it is only one of hundreds adopted by Beyle. I argue that his pseudonyms fall into three categories: those used in personal correspondence to strengthen affective bonds, those used for publication and thus for entry into the literary market, and those developed in the creative process and reserved for private use. The pseudonym Stendhal belongs to the second group, which is characterized by Beyle's attempt to co-opt the prestige of particular predecessors (in this instance, the art historian J. J. Winckelmann, from the village Stendal). The pen names Mocenigo and Dominique are significant examples of the third group, which most closely resembles the Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa's heteronyms and heralds a modernist vision of authorship.

<p><em>This research was generally based on an interesting phenomenon in 2006, when Merapi erupted. There was Maridjan’s rebellion as a royal servant to climb down from Merapi when Hamengkubuwono X as the king commanded him. The main questions were what were the factors of Maridjan’s resistances?; what were the forms of Maridjan capitals in this fighting?; and what did Maridjan get from the bet as the winner? The approach of this research was anthropological perspective using participatory observation and analyzed by qualitative method. To get data, researcher lived in Maridjan’s house for several months in Merapi. The findings of the study were there was Maridjan’s resistance which was interpreted as a fighting created by media. The second was Maridjan’s resistance supported by two capital powers; the cultural power as the Merapi’s caretaker and the discourse capital supported by the media. The third was Maridjan won the bet by getting the prestige in his social status either popularities or wealth.</em></p>
