At their meeting of March 22, 1900, the Council resolved:— “That the Obituaries of deceased Fellows, in addition to appearing in the ‘Year-Book,’ be issued, either yearly or at such other intervals as may seem desirable, in a volume uniform with the ‘Proceedings.’” The present volume, containing the Obituary Notices in the Year-Books for 1900 and 1901 is accordingly issued, and will be followed at suitable intervals by similar collections from future issues of the Year-Book. Two or three notices will be found at the end of the collection which were not included in the Year-Book for 1901. It has been thought convenient to add a general index to all the Obituaries that have appeared in the volumes of the “Proceedings” since their publication was commenced, which was in vol. 10, published in 1860.

General Linguistic

As a general index of language development, the recall of first through fourth order approximations to English was examined in four, five, six, and seven year olds and adults. Data suggested that recall improved with age, and increases in approximation to English were accompanied by increases in recall for six and seven year olds and adults. Recall improved for four and five year olds through the third order but declined at the fourth. The latter finding was attributed to deficits in semantic structures and memory processes in four and five year olds. The former finding was interpreted as an index of the development of general linguistic processes.

The present volume is a tribute to Marlia Mango on the occasion of her retirement from the University service of Kings College, Oxford University. All essays, written by her students, offer the result of their research and express a profound gratitude to their teacher. The essays tackle a wide range of subjects covering a vast territory from Constantinople to its periphery as well as Italy. Chronologically diverse, research materials span from late antiquity to the late Byzantine period.

General Index

The intention of this research is to investigate the aspect of non-linearity and chaotic behavior of the Cyprus stock market. For this purpose, we use non-linearity and chaos theory. We perform BDS, Hinich-Bispectral tests and compute Lyapunov exponent of the Cyprus General index. The results show that existence of non-linear dependence and chaotic features as the maximum Lyapunov exponent was found to be positive. This study is important because chaos and efficient market hypothesis are mutually exclusive aspects. The efficient market hypothesis which requires returns to be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) cannot be accepted.

Present Volume

The contributors to the present volume are all competent in at least two languages, and some have grown up in bilingual environments. The same was true of John Milton. His facility in languages is widely acknowledged, but the bilingualism of his culture is not, especially among those who can access only part of it. Milton was educated through the medium of Latin at St Paul’s School and at Cambridge. Much of his writing was in Latin, in both poetry and prose, and he also spoke the language as a student, a traveller in continental Europe, and a civil servant during the Commonwealth and Protectorate. In due course some of Milton’s English works were translated into Latin, in part because Latin was deemed to be superior to English as a literary language. The Latin Milton was an important presence in eighteenth-century England, and in this volume Estelle Haan’s two chapters show how the translation of Milton into Latin during this period shaped both the perception of his poetry and the debate about the nature and purpose of translation....

Metaepistemology

Present Volume

Epistemology, like ethics, is normative. Just as ethics addresses questions about how we ought to act, so epistemology addresses questions about how we ought to believe and enquire. We can also ask metanormative questions, like: What does it mean to claim that someone ought to do or believe something? Do such claims express beliefs about independently existing facts, or only attitudes of approval and disapproval towards certain pieces of conduct? How do putative facts about what people ought to do or believe fit in to the natural world? In the case of ethics, such questions have been subject to extensive and systematic investigation, yielding the thriving subdiscipline of metaethics. Yet the corresponding questions have had far less attention in epistemology. The present volume focuses on these questions and thus aims to promote the subdiscipline of metaepistemology. It brings together a collection of new essays drawing on the sophisticated theories and frameworks that have been developed in metaethics concerning practical normativity, and examining whether they can be applied to epistemic normativity, and what this might tell us about both.

Role Of Women

This is one of the few chapters in the present volume that address the role of women in Virgilian translation practices. More specifically, Cox focuses on Marie de Gournay’s translation of Aeneid 2. While de Gournay’s translation is marked by imprecisions, it also conveys her sense of pride—a pride she takes in breaching the stronghold of men as she places herself into the lineage of French translators of Virgil. The author argues that de Gournay uses her translation as part of a struggle for sexual equality, a struggle that is especially intensified by her loneliness and sense of alienation within her own time and culture.
