The Reformation era has long been seen as crucial in developing the institutions and society of the English-speaking peoples, and study of the Tudor and Stuart era is at the heart of most courses in English history. The influence of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible created the modern English language, but until the publication of Gerald Brays Documents of the English Reformation there had been no collection of contemporary documents available to show how these momentous social and political changes took place. This comprehensive collection covers the period from 1526 to 1700 and contains many texts previously relatively inaccessible, along with others more widely known. The book also provides informative appendixes, including comparative tables of the different articles and confessions, showing their mutual relationships and dependence. With fifty-eight documents covering all the main Statutes, Injunctions and Orders, Prefaces to prayer books, Biblical translations and other relevant texts, thi62620620p 620p20p s third edition of Docume

This festschrift honors UCLA professor emerita Susan Downey and her meticulous scholarship on religious architecture and imagery in the Roman/Hellenistic world. The iconography of gods and goddesses, the analysis of sacred imagery in the context of ancient cult practices, and the design and decoration of sacred spaces are the main themes of the book. Authors examine such subjects as painting from Dura-Europos, Hellenistic sculpture at Saqqara in Egypt, Roman cameo glass, Pompeian fresco, and aspects of Venus in portrait sculpture. The essays on Dura-Europos are especially valuable in light of the present turmoil in the region. Professor Downeys influence shines through in these discussions, which echo her mentorship of several generations of art history and archaeology students and recognize her scholarly achievements. The broad temporal and geographic parameters of the volume are expansive, and the juxtaposition of images and analyses leads to surprising new conclusions.

Archaeology Outside the Box makes contemporary archaeology germane to the general public as well as to researchers in other disciplines. In thirty-one richly illustrated chapters, a wide variety of projects is presented by an international group of anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, and artists. These aim to broaden the applicability of archaeology by reflecting on archaeological remains in novel ways, or by addressing contemporary concerns with archaeological theory and research methods. Demonstrating the fascinating and pertinent nature of archaeology, the authors go far beyond its definition as a discipline that unearths objects of ancient material culture. Many chapters also provide arguments relevant to the soul-searching discussions currently taking place within archaeology worldwide and accelerated by the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

This publication includes a detailed discussion of the pottery, the finds and their parallels, and a reconstruction of both the excavation and stratigraphy of Tholos Gamma in the Bronze Age cemetery of Phourni at Archanes. This evidence is used to give the historical outline of the tomb from its foundation in Early Minoan IIA until its excavation in 1972. Several problems concerning Prepalatial mortuary practices are discussed, with particular reference to Tholos Gamma and the new evidence resulting from the study of this funerary assemblage. The artifacts from the tomb include pottery, metal objects, marble figurines, other small finds, and skeletal remains.

During the last few decades, there has been great interest in the problems of defining the extent and nature of kingship in the Mycenaean world. Questions concerning the degree of economic and religious power held by the king have been given special emphasis. This book surveys the conclusions drawn by individual scholars studying the Linear B tablets, contrasts their theories with our knowledge of the Mycenaean kingdoms as derived from the archaeological record, and finally compares this evidence with possible reflections in the oral tradition, specifically in the Iliad and Odyssey. This approach leads to the suggestion that the king in the Mycenaean period had only limited power over the society and its economy. Although the king appears to have controlled a large segment of the economy, it is argued here that other individuals and family groups within the kingdom also had a certain degree of economic independence.

The purpose of archaeology is to reconstruct and present the past as it was lived, warts and all. Too often that ideal has been restricted to the affairs and structures of the great and (often not so) good, ignoring what happened after the battles were won or lost. Everyday life carried on for the vast majority of people who cooked, built walls and fences, herded and tended animals, and made pottery, metal tools and foodstuffs. Each of these domestic tasks required tools and equipment, and each object tells a story of the users identity, both regional and personal. This volume presents a selection of worldwide studies of domestic objects and lives, from Scottish ceramics to Mayan urban zones. Each of these chapters demonstrate the commonalities humans share when there is no place like home, enhancing archaeological knowledge of the realities of life in the past.

En agosto de 1964, el politólogo germano estadounidense Hans Morgenthau se dirigió a la Fundación Rockefeller con la idea de que el mundialmente famoso jurista Hans Kelsen viajara al lago de Como, en Italia, donde la Fundacion aun posee la Villa Serbelloni, para escribir una historia intelectual de su vida y de su epoca. Sin embargo, la Fundacion Rockefeller se mostro esceptica respecto de si el academico de 83 años, que en ese momento vivia en Berkeley (California), podria seguir viajando a Europa y escribir una obra de estas caracteristicas. Morgenthau sugirio que la biografia se escribiera en Berkeley y que Kelsen tuviera una secretaria. Para ocupar este cargo, Morgenthau sugirio a Helen Smelser, quien era la esposa de Neil Smelser, un profesor de sociologia de Berkeley que habia trabajado con Kelsen anteriormente. De hecho, la Fundacion Rockefeller concedio posteriormente una subvencion de 3.500 dolares para que la obra pudiera comenzar a escribirse.Solo en ese momento, Hans Kelsen, el "sujeto" sobre quien se hablaba en la correspondencia entre Morgenthau y la Fundacion Rockefeller, pudo hablar por si mismo: aunque Kelsen estaba decididamente dispuesto a poner su vida por escrito, consideraba que la señora Smelser, que no hablaba aleman, no era apta para asumir el papel que le habian asignado. La unica persona que podia ayudarle a escribir una autobiografia, segun el, era su antiguo alumno y ayudante de su epoca en Viena y Colonia, Rudolf Aladar Metall. No obstante, Metall debia seguir trabajando en la Organizacion Internacional del Trabajo (ILO), en Ginebra, hasta agosto de 1966. A pesar de todo, la Fundacion Rockefeller acepto este cambio de planes. Asi, inmediatamente despues de su jubilacion, en otoño de 1966, Metall viajo a Berkeley, donde se encontro con su maestro academico que al parecer se mantenia en buena forma. Al fin y al cabo, como informo Metall mas tarde, su maestro permanecia ocupado leyendo las pruebas de la traduccion al ingles de la segunda edicion de su Reine Rechtslehre [Teoria pura del derecho]. En la casa de Kelsen, en el numero 2126 de la avenida de Los Angeles, Metall pudo consultar, para la redaccion del libro, "la biblioteca privada de Hans Kelsen [] asi como toda su correspondencia personal". Sin embargo, la autobiografia nunca llego a publicarse; quizas porque la salud de Kelsen se habia deteriorado rapidamente en el entretanto, o quizas tambien porque Kelsen penso que era mejor que el manuscrito que habia surgido no apareciera bajo su propio nombre. En cualquier caso, tres años despues, en 1969, el propio Metall publico el libro Hans Kelsen. Leben und Werke [Hans Kelsen. Vida y obra]. Infortunadamente, solo en la sobrecubierta, y no en el propio texto, se advierte de que el libro es una "biogra

El Archivo Simón Ruiz, crucial para entender la actividad económica y financiera a mediados del siglo XVI, alberga la correspondencia entre el que fuera corregidor de Medina del Campo y uno de los hombres de negocios mas importantes en la epoca de Felipe II, y la familia Gomes de Elvas. Los inicios comerciales de esta familia se gestaron en la ciudad fronteriza que da nombre a su linaje. Las fuentes documentales consultadas en esta localidad y las cartas remitidas a Medina del Campo permiten reconstruir el camino que condujo a los Gomes de Elvas a convertirse en una de las casas de negocios mas importantes de Portugal.Este libro va mas alla de una perspectiva meramente economica y ahonda en los estudios de familia y empresa, analizando el comportamiento de la familia Gomes de Elvas y sus estrategias empresariales, un camino que no solo los condujo al exito economico, sino tambien al ennoblecimiento de varios de sus miembros. Este hito es especialmente relevante, pues su exito se consumo con la obtencion de un prestigioso oficio, como es el de correo mayor, que se transformara en un cargo hereditario con el que asegurar el estatus economico y su influencia social a lo largo de diversas generaciones.

This is the incredible story of why and how Winston Churchill in his mid-50s decided to write an autobiography designed to reshape his image and to reduce an overwhelming personal debt burden. The book, My Early Life, emerged from a truly Churchillian writing process that was both complicated and highly focused. An extensive dictation process using both external research and his own previously written materials created a rough draft. Then additional researchers, reviewers and publishers on two continents helped mold the final product. My Early Life is Churchills Aeneid and many sections approach lyric poetry in the style of writing and in its visual and emotional impact. How all this came about is described and analyzed in this book. It further explores just how successful an endeavor this was and the global impact this book has had on literature and as a source for educational and literary publications.

A critical first-hand appraisal of the activities, achievements, and importance of the Jewish Brigade by IDF Major-General Shlomo Shamir (Rabinowicz), its Covert Internal Commander on behalf of the Haganah and the Jewish national institutions in Palestine. Some myths surrounding the Brigades activities are also dealt with in this appraisal. The Jewish Brigade, a unit of the British Army during WW2, played a crucial role on behalf of world Jewry in the fight against Nazi Germany. Comprised mainly of Jewish volunteers from Palestine, the Brigade was formed in 1944 after four years of struggle for deployment as a fighting force. The Brigade participated in the Italian campaign, distinguishing itself in the battles along the Senio River and proving that Jewish soldiers could fight as a unified force against a well-trained enemy and prevail. Beyond combat and under Shamirs guidance, the Brigade was the first to search for, meet, and care for survivors of the Holocaust. Despite British disapproval, its members worked at numerous Displaced Persons camps in Germany, particularly at Bergen-Belsen, and facilitated the illegal journeys of many survivors to Palestine. The story of the Brigade therefore, exemplified a dedicated pursuit of both military goals and Jewish national aspirations. With many Brigade members subsequently becoming leading figures in the fledgling Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the book shines a light on how the experience of these Jewish volunteers in the British Army was irreplaceable in shaping both the military and political landscape of the nascent State of Israel.

The Pyrrhic War attracted a great deal of attention in antiquity as the first contest between the burgeoning Roman Empire and the powers of the Hellenistic world. While blame for the initiation of hostilities fell squarely upon the polity of the Tarentines, scholars have long been wary of accounts relating how this conflict began.Three episodes set at Taras prove important for the construction both of Roman history and of narratives in antiquity. Approached as a case study of inventio in historiography, this monograph examines the aims and techniques of authors from Polybius to Zonaras in their depictions of the wars onset. No two of our sources offer the same version of events and new details emerge over the course of time. Analysis of the perception of injury, on the part of the Romans and the Tarentines, considers the implications of the just war on the writing of history.

Wurden Kriegshelden, politische Fuhrerhelden und Superhelden zum Thema unzahliger Studien, hat sich die Forschung bisher kaum mit der Heroisierung gewohnlicher Menschen auseinandergesetzt. Das Buch schliet diese Forschungslucke am Beispiel der USA, Deutschlands und Grobritanniens - es ist die erste systematische wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Alltagshelden, die aufgrund tatsachlicher oder ihnen zugeschriebener auergewohnlicher Taten heroisiert werden.

Ob Sonne statt Reagan auf der Friedensdemo oder Che-Guevara-Poster und Kaffee aus dem revolutionaren Nicaragua in der WG-Kuche - die Protestkulturen im Westeuropa der 1980er Jahre speisten sich zu einem Groteil aus der spannungsreichen Auseinandersetzung mit Amerika. Die von ihnen betriebene Sinnstiftung ist also ohne die Bezuge und Referenzen, die Wechselwirkungen und Verflechtungen im transatlantischen Dreieck zwischen den beiden Teilen des amerikanischen Kontinents und Europa nicht zu verstehen.

Christian missions in the Middle East were and still are a highly sensitive topic. For a number of academics, they have destroyed indigenous cultures and are nothing else than the religious wing of imperialism. A new development in historiography gives a different interpretation: Missions seem to have strongly contributed to the development of social work, healthcare, education, and science in certain regions of the world sometimes even implementing basic social infrastructure that has been neglected by local rulers for decades or centuries. In particular, the missions in the Middle East have exhibited a strong "social dimension". Thus, one could even speak of a specific "trademark", for conversions hardly took place in the "house of Islam", and also among Jews during the 19th and 20th century.This volumne brings together some of the essential papers of a conference dealing with questions of cultural, religious and social history in this field of research. It contributes to the historiography of Christian missions, welfare organisations as well as of Christian Churches in the Middle East. The book challenges the predominantly eurocentric depiction of the history of Christianity by juxtaposing a transnational reading of Christian activism in the Orient.

Law is a particularly fruitful means by which to investigate the relationship between religion and state. It is the mechanism by which the Roman state and its European successors have regulated religion, in the twin actions of constraining religious institutions to particular social spaces and of releasing control over such spaces to those orders. This volume analyses the relationship from the late Republic to the final codification of Roman law in Justinians Constantinople.
