The poems of Hugh Primas deserve to be better known, and the announcement by Teubner of an edition in preparation to replace the fundamental but incomplete text of Wilhelm Meyer is welcome news to students of medieval Latin poetry. The studies which appear below discuss certain problems in two of Primas' longest rhythmical productions.

While searching for traces of Virgilian echoes in medieval Latin poetry, I came upon the following unusual Christmas song from Bohemia, recorded between ca. 1410 and 1420 in a manuscript of the Abbey of Hohenfurth:1. En aetas iam aurea incipit vigere Regnaque saturnea revolvuntur vere,2. Parvulus dum nascitur ex intemerata Virgine, quae pariens mansit illibata.3. Sibyllinis versibus hic fuit praedictus, Quod Maro commemorat, nec est sermo fictus.4. Utrique ergo psallite, Matri, nato canite pie resonantes.5. Tibi Deus pater grates, Qui in figura per vates filium spopondisti;6. Atque tibi sacrum flamen, Qui nobis consolamen obumbrando contulisti.7. R° Narrando poetice, Intelligendo mystice, is est Saloninus, Vera sapientia, filius divinus.

Chapter 1 surveys the place of Homer in Roman literary culture before Ovid, including the prominent place of the Iliad and Odyssey in early education and the role played by Livius Andronicus and Ennius in bringing the Greek past to Rome. It offers an overview of the character of Homeric allusiveness in Latin poetry before Ovid, especially in Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius and the elegists. The chapter concludes with the suggestion that Ovid’s familiarity with the Homeric poems is based not only on the poems themselves but also on the tradition of scholarly exegesis that develops in Alexandria and moves to other centers of learning in the ancient world. The scholia of Aristarchus are chief among these paratexts. In particular, Ovid’s fondness for Homeric episodes deemed of suspect authenticity by the critics reflects his playfully contrarian attitude.

In the tenth century Gandersheim was a small, proudly independent principality ruled by women. All who belonged to Gandersheim (except for the servants) were of noble birth, taking vows as canonesses - that is, free to leave the abbey, if they wanted. Hrotsvit, born around 935, was one of these canonesses. She was well aware of her talent for writing Latin and - as she confessed later in a rhyming prose-preface - ‘was not to lie sluggish in the heart’s dark cavern and be destroyed by the rust of negligence, but rather struck by the hammer of unfailing diligence, was to echo some small ringing note of divine praise.’ ‘In complete secrecy’ she began to write poems based on writings she had found in the library of Gandersheim.

Underlying Pathology

Abstract Spinal cord (dorsal column) stimulation (SCS) and intraspinal opioids (ISO) are treatments for patients in whom abnormal illness behavior is absent but who have an objective basis for severe, persistent pain that has not been adequately relieved by other interventions. Usually, physicians prescribe these treatments in cancer pain or noncancer-related neuropathic pain settings. A survey of academic centers showed that 87% of responding centers use SCS and 84% use ISO. These treatments are performed frequently in nonacademic settings, so evaluators likely will encounter patients who were treated with SCS and ISO. Does SCS or ISO change the impairment associated with the underlying conditions for which these treatments are performed? Although the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) does not specifically address this question, the answer follows directly from the principles on which the AMA Guides impairment rating methodology is based. Specifically, “the impairment percents shown in the chapters that consider the various organ systems make allowance for the pain that may accompany the impairing condition.” Thus, impairment is neither increased due to persistent pain nor is it decreased in the absence of pain. In summary, in the absence of complications, the evaluator should rate the underlying pathology or injury without making an adjustment in the impairment for SCS or ISO.

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Fifth Edition, is available and includes numerous changes that will affect both evaluators who and systems that use the AMA Guides. The Fifth Edition is nearly twice the size of its predecessor (613 pages vs 339 pages) and contains three additional chapters (the musculoskeletal system now is split into three chapters and the cardiovascular system into two). Table 1 shows how chapters in the Fifth Edition were reorganized from the Fourth Edition. In addition, each of the chapters is presented in a consistent format, as shown in Table 2. This article and subsequent issues of The Guides Newsletter will examine these changes, and the present discussion focuses on major revisions, particularly those in the first two chapters. (See Table 3 for a summary of the revisions to the musculoskeletal and pain chapters.) Chapter 1, Philosophy, Purpose, and Appropriate Use of the AMA Guides, emphasizes objective assessment necessitating a medical evaluation. Most impairment percentages in the Fifth Edition are unchanged from the Fourth because the majority of ratings currently are accepted, there is limited scientific data to support changes, and ratings should not be changed arbitrarily. Chapter 2, Practical Application of the AMA Guides, describes how to use the AMA Guides for consistent and reliable acquisition, analysis, communication, and utilization of medical information through a single set of standards.
