The purpose of the article is a realization of tradiтionalism as mеtаdirection of art in XX century that historically comparable with mеtаdirection of styles modern-vanguard, jointly forming artistic paradigm of the past century, then the last becomes firmly established in nеоrеnaissаnce world-outlook according to with "system of Leonardo da Vinci" P. Valéry. The methodology of the study is a historian-cомpаrаtive approach, as this demonstrates works of A.Losev, also culturology foreshortening of musicology analysis, as this is given in "Symphonic etude" and others beside B.Asafiev. The scientific novelty of the work is conditioned, first, that that for the first time in specified foreshortening is presented analysis composition of V.Vlasov, but, secondly, original is a theoretical idea about cultural intrusion in style-typology life length Neo-Gothic that impossible was in classicist of music creative activity to XIX-XX cent. Conclusions. Traditionalism forms mеtаdirection since in base this style unity prescribed expressiveness of romanticism-pоstromanticism and realism XIX century that forms analogies to mеtаstyle forming of the modernism (vеrism at the end XIX - at the beginning initially XX century, "hard" type of the neoclassicism I. Stravinsky and P. Hindemith, others), in which vanguard took place as focus of the symbiosis of the styles-directions expressionism, futurism, primitivism, having formed new unity of the vanguard of the second wave in the manner of nеоexpressionism.

AbstractThe concept of aerial perspective has been used for the first time by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). This article studies its dependence on Ptolemy's Optica and overall on the optical tradition inaugurated by Ibn al-Haytham's Kitāb al-Manāẓir (d. after 1040). This treatise, that was accessible through several Latin and Italian manuscripts, and was the source of many Medieval commentaries, offers a general theory of visual perception emancipated from the case of the moon illusion, in which physical and psychological factors are closely combined. Atmospheric extinction (not refraction, which is sometimes confused with) affects the conjectured size of remote objects. This phenomenon is also the core source for a pictorial rendering of depth, that is based onto a principle different from the diminution of size.

Koch (1844) originally described only the male of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) elliptica (Koch, 1844), which he named Rhipistoma ellipticum. For the past century, however, this name has been considered a junior synonym of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) leachi (Audouin, 1826), or a nomen nudum. We redescribe here the male and larva of H. (R.) elliptica and describe the female and nymph for the first time. Our redescription is based on the male holotype, plus numerous specimens from southern and East Africa. The adults of this tick parasitize domestic and wild carnivores, and the immature stages infest rodents in these regions. For comparative purposes redescriptions of all parasitic stages of H. (R.) leachi are provided. It parasitizes the same hosts as H. (R.) elliptica in Egypt, and in northeastern, Central, West and East Africa.

AbstractS 786 is one of the so-called Orthodoxorum charters, a group of documents which provide important evidence about the Anglo-Saxon chancery, the development of charters in the tenth century, and the history of Pershore Abbey and the tenth-century Benedictine reforms. The document has therefore received a great deal of attention over the past century or so, but this attention has been focussed on the surviving tenth-century single sheet, and so a second, significantly different version of the text has lain unnoticed. This second version is preserved in a copy made by John Joscelyn, Latin Secretary to Archbishop Matthew Parker. Among the material uniquely preserved in this copy are Old English charter bounds for Wyegate (GL), Cumbtune (Compton, GL?) and part of the bounds probably for Lydney (GL), as well as a reference to a grant by Bishop Werferth of Worcester. In this article both versions of the document are discussed and are published together for the first time, and a translation of the single sheet is provided. The history of the two versions is discussed in some detail, and the text of a twelfth-century letter which refers to the charter is also edited and translated.

Probably an example of every type of material ever manipulated and utilized by man through out history will eventually find its way to a conservator for treatment and preservation. The term “art conservator”, commonly used to describe those that work to protect and preserve the physical remains of mankind's invention and creativity, is a misnomer. We are better described as conservators of cultural materials, as our work involves the preservation of a huge range of materials and artifacts, many of which would not qualify as “art” under its most accepted definition. From the sublime (a Leonardo da Vinci cartoon) to the ridiculous (a 19th century saloon singer's dress made entirely from rattlesnake skins), from the ancient (paleolithic cave paintings) to the new (a pair of Nike® Air Jordans), if they are in a collection somewhere, they are candidates for examination by a conservator.Despite the variety of materials and artifacts facing us, professional conservators use common approaches to the care of collections and we share the same arsenal of tools.

Reading these articles in our AHY Forum brought back a flood of memories to my last days as a university undergraduate at Emory University when I first encountered Emperor Rudolf II and Renaissance Prague in a course taught by the late James Allen Vann. What captivates us about the past? What prompts naive undergraduates to take that fateful step and pursue a PhD in history? For me, it was simply Rudolf. I was not alone. The quizzical emperor ensconced in his castle high above the city has intrigued the imaginations of many. There is certainly irony in this, for Rudolf as an emperor was no success. He ended his reign an ineffective ruler browbeaten by his own brother to abdicate as king of Bohemia. But if he failed politically, there were lasting triumphs elsewhere. Rudolf's contemporary, the Flemish painter and theoretician Karel van Mander, famously pointed to Prague and the emperor as the “greatest art patron in the world.” And what emperor can boast that his most acclaimed “likeness” was a collage of fruits and vegetables, a portrait executed by a student of Leonardo da Vinci?

Contemporary identity in Thailand is prominently configured through an allegiance of reformed Buddhism with the modern Thai state. What is not well understood, however, is the centrality of “comparative religion” to the construction of this naturalized religionationalist identity, for interreligious study in Siam has been an integral component of modern Thai identity since the mid-nineteenth century. First, the emergence of “religion” as an object of study in modern Thailand is explored here, in an effort to detail the genealogy of this field for the first time. The articulation of Thai religious identity is identified as a response to intellectual challenges from colonial influences, especially the reproofs of Buddhism by Christian missionaries and Orientalist scholarship on religion. Thai Buddhist intellectuals responded to these challenges by robustly countering that Theravada Buddhism was, in fact, superior to Christianity and other religions. Finally, I explore the contentions between the Thai Buddhist apologetics and their opponents as a genealogy of the knowledge in comparative religion in Siam over the past century and a half. Given this genealogy, the field of comparative religion in Thailand is revealed as being far from a disinterested pursuit of knowledge; rather, it is part of the formation and reaffirmation of Thai national identity.

For the first time in Russian science the article considers a project of the architectural monument to Dante Alighieri, the Italian medieval poet, conceived by artist Cesare Laurenti in the beginning of the 20th century, but never built. One of the main features of that monument was that it was inspired by the mausoleum project attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The author of the article studies the cultural context in which Cesare Laurenti worked and which influenced his choice of the idea and its embodiment. Particular attention is given to ideological transformation of the project through time.

AbstractIn the past years, theoretical high-school education in Romania has gone through much public criticism regarding both the quality and the effectiveness of the instruction offered to students. An excessive focus on theory for most subjects and the neglect of the practical aspects/applications of the themes studied are known to have had negative effects on students’ motivation and their ability to choose a career and to adapt to the labour market requirements. The authors of this article intend primarily to briefly analyse some of the curricular aspects underlining this problem and to suggest some opportunities to offset this situation – opportunities derived from the business community and within the reach of the theoretical high-schools’ managers. In support of the proposed solutions, the authors are going to examine two types of initiatives implemented at the “Gheorghe Lazăr” National College from Sibiu: “training placement” in EU-funded Leonardo da Vinci projects and a “work-experience” type of initiative leading to a successful programme run every school year in cooperation with firms, institutions, and companies from Sibiu.


The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual brings together a collection of essays at the fore of the critical reassessment of Eliot’s life and work in light of the ongoing publication of his letters, critical volumes of his complete prose, the new edition of his complete poems, and the forthcoming critical edition of his plays. The volume features various approaches, but the dominant methodology is a historicist: essays reconsider Eliot’s work as a poet, critic, playwright, editor, and foremost exemplar of literary modernism in light of contemporary debate, contexts, and newly available primary materials. In addition to cutting-edge scholarship re-dating the chronology and genesis of Eliot’s poetry and plays, recasting longstanding scholarly debates, and reframing standard critical narratives, this volume contains two special forums. The first commemorates the centenary of the publication of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” Together, essays in this cluster reexamine the circumstances surrounding the poem’s original publication, recontextualize its allusions, and reconstruct its reception over the past century. The second essay cluster examines the annotations made in books from Eliot’s personal library, recently made available to researchers for the first time. The book concludes with a bibliography of recent Eliot scholarship, including book reviews, dissertations, journal articles, book chapters, and monograph publications.
