In the preface to his edition of the ninth-century Book of Cerne (Cambridge, University Library, MS L1. 1.10), A. B. Kuypers notes “two great currents of influence, two distinct spirits, Irish and Roman” at work in the composition of the prayers in this private devotional book. Moreover, Kuypers asserts that “these influences are traceable through the whole range of the strictly devotional literature of the period.” Since it is generally acknowledged that the two great forces shaping the early Anglo-Saxon church were the Roman missionaries in the south and Irish monks in the north, it is reasonable to suspect that the Anglo-Saxon devotional practices to St. Michael the Archangel were also influenced by both traditions.

Purpose The study aims to present a comparative analysis of available Web 2.0 tools in library websites of selected Nigerian and South African universities. Design/methodology/approach Content analysis was adopted as the design for the study. Twenty university library websites comprising ten top-ranking Nigerian universities and ten top-ranking South African universities were sampled for data collection. Five research questions developed and answered. Findings The findings show that the use of Web 2.0 tools in the selected universities is encouraging. There are more Web 2.0 tools available on the South African university library websites. The South African university libraries are ahead of their Nigerian counterparts in terms of the integration of Web 2.0 tools, e-resources and e-databases and provide platforms for easy retrieval of information by their users. There are more e-resources available on the South African university library websites compared with their Nigerian counterparts. e-Journals are the most available e-resources in the selected university library websites of both countries. Similarly, more academic e-databases are available on the South African university library websites, whereas only few are listed on the web pages of the selected Nigerian university library websites. Research limitations/implications Because available studies seem to ignore the possibility of comparing one university library’s website with another, conducting a study such as this will provide an insight and idea on the types of features, tools and applications to be included on university library websites. This will be useful for university whose library is planning to develop a website. Originality/value Because of the wide variation reported in this study concerning available tools and resources on the university library websites in South Africa and Nigeria, it is recommended that African universities should come up with a standard that will mandate universities to have a certain number of tools identified in this study on their various university websites.

The report on the finding describes the hitherto unknown Codex Ve 2 of the Prague Monastery of Our Lady of the Snows, which contains two medieval German texts of scholarly prose - 'Buch der Natur' by Conrad of Megenberg (complete text) and 'Pelzbuch' by Gottfried of Franconia (a selection). The same composition is shared by four known codexes from various German libraries. A detailed analysis has revealed that the Prague Codex is closest to a manuscript from the University Library of Heidelberg, signature Cpg 286, from the year 1442. It can be assumed that the Prague Codex (referred to as Pr2) and the Heidelberg Codex were copied from the same template, although the quality of the text in the Heidelberg manuscript is higher. The Prague manuscript was written around the middle of the 15th century and originates, like the Heidelberg manuscript, from the south-west of the Upper German language region, having features of the Swabian dialect. Der Fundbericht beschreibt den bisher unbekannten Kodex Ve 2 des Prager Klosters St. Maria Schnee, der das 'Buch der Natur' Konrads von Megenberg (Text vollständig) sowie das 'Pelzbuch' Gottfrieds von Franken (in Auswahl) enthält. Die gleiche Zusammensetzung kommt auch in vier weiteren bisher bekannten Kodices aus verschiedenen deutschen Bibliotheken vor. Durch eine eingehende Analyse wurde festgestellt, dass der Prager Kodex der Handschrift der Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg Cpg 286 aus dem Jahre 1442 am nächsten steht. Es ist anzunehmen, dass der Prager Kodex (von uns als Pr2 bezeichnet) und die Heidelberger Handschrift aus der gleichen Vorlage abgeschrieben wurden, wobei die Qualität des Textes in der Heidelberger Hs. höher ist. Die Prager Handschrift wurde um die Mitte des 15. Jh. s. geschrieben, entstand wie die Heidelberger im Südwesten des oberdeutschen Gebietes und weist gewisse Züge des schwäbischen Dialekts auf.

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.
