Basileia von Alexandria. Topographisch-urbanistische Untersuchungen zum ptolemäischen Königsviertel
, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xx + 444 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:191 b/w, 1 col., Language: German. *new ISBN 9782503587424.
Summary Die Basileia von Alexandria in Ägypten waren eine der bedeutendsten Herrscherresidenzen der hellenistischen Zeit. Sie erstreckten sich über einen beträchtlichen Teil der antiken Stadt und dienten den Ptolemäern während der nahezu 300 jährigen Existenz ihrer Dynastie als Wohn- und Regierungssitz. Die Untersuchung versammelt erstmals alle archäologischen und literarischen Quellen zum ptolemäischen Königsviertel und wertet diese detailliert aus. Neben Aspekten der Lokalisierung, des Aussehens und der Funktion der Einzelelemente der alexandrinischen Basileia werden übergeordnete Fragen adressiert, die eine kulturhistorische Einordnung der Herrscherresidenz ermöglichen. Diese beinhalten neben der komparatistischen Betrachtung hellenistischer Palastanlagen auch Verknüpfungen mit ideologischen und architektonischen Vorläufern unter der Prämisse, dass sich Aspekte der Herrschaftsideologie in der Anlage königlicher Bauten und Bauensembles widerspiegeln. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine umfassende topographisch-urbanistische Rekonstruktion der Basileia von Alexandria und veranschaulicht, wie sich diese in der Entwicklung hellenistischer Residenzen verorten lässt. Durch die Einbettung in einen breiteren kulturhistorischen Kontext lassen sich zudem Traditionen und Innovationen des ptolemäischen Königsviertels aufzeigen und evaluieren.

Late Antique Harrowing of Hell and Its Medieval Reception. Eusebius of Alexandria's Sermons 15 and 17 (CPG 5524 and 5526) and their Latin Rewritings
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 551, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:4 tables b/w., Languages: English, Latin, Greek. ISBN 9782503614465.
Summary In 1904, Edward Kennard Rand published a Latin sermon by an unknown author from a single manuscript of the ninth century that recounts the amazement of the devil at the crucifixion of Jesus and the devil's defeat at the coming of Christ into the underworld, or the Harrowing of Hell. This Sermo de confusione diaboli et inferni added a new dimension to the already complex body of research on the sermons attributed to pseudo-Eusebius of Alexandria and the Gospel of Nicodemus. A century later, new witnesses of the text edited by Rand and an unedited Latin translation of pseudo-Eusebius' Sermo 17 have begun to shed new light on the interconnectedness of all these materials. The present book critically edits the newly identified Latin documents and discusses them in relation to their Greek source(s) and to one another. It retraces the paths from the protean forms of pseudo-Eusebius' Greek sermons 15 and 17 to their Latin translations, to the Sermo de confusione diaboli et inferni, and to the Gospel of Nicodemus. In the process, it highlights the creativity of the copyists and translators of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and demonstrates their profound interest and investment in the story of Christ's Descent into Hell.

First printing of this important publication in the history of telegraphs cables with a most interesting presentation inscription: It was given by Siemens to A. L. Ternant, author to several early paper on submarine cables. The Malta-Alexandria cable was ordered by the British government, manufactured by John Pender, and constitute one of the very first submarine telegraph cables. ""The making and laying of the Malta to Alexandria cable gave rise to researches on the resistance and electrification of insulating materials under pressure, which formed the subject of a paper read before the British association in 1863. The effect of pressure up to 300 atmospheres was observed, and the fact elicited that the inductive capacity of gutta-percha is not affected by increased pressure, whereas that of india-rubber is diminished. The electrical tests employed during the construction of the Malta and Alexandria cable, and the insulation and protection of submarine cables, also formed the subject of a paper [the present]."" (Munro, Heros of the Telegraph, P. 72). The Malta-Alexandria cable was the first Siemens was involved in and the experience made him in 1874: ""design the cable ship Faraday and assisted in the laying of the first of several transatlantic cables that it completed. During the last fifteen years of his life he actively supported the development of the engineering profession and its societies and stimulated public interest in the conservation of fuel, the reduction of air pollution and the potential value of electric power in a wide variety of engineering applications.(DSB).In 1859 Glass, Elliot and Company received an order from the British Government to manufacture and lay a cable from Falmouth, England to Gibraltar. The government then changed the route to Rangoon - Singapore and finally to Malta - Alexandria, Egypt.
