‎Twenty essays on the continuing and renewed relevance to medieval studies of Ruth Finnegan's concept of the orality-literacy continuum.<br>Ever since its introduction in the 1970s, Ruth Finnegan?s notion of the oral-written, or the oral-literate, continuum has served as one of the most effective means of dispelling the dichotomous understanding of the two principal media of communication in the Middle Ages. However, while often casually invoked, the concept has never been made a focus of study in its own right. The present volume is an attempt to place the oral-written continuum at the heart of discussion as an object of a head-on theoretical investigation, as a backdrop to distinct processes of acquisition of literacy in different European regions, and, indeed, as a tool for navigating the rugged landscape of verbal forms, exploring the complexity of oral-literary interrelationships that they manifest. The articles probe the concept with a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, span diverse texts and genres, and involve a range of European cultural contexts, with special emphasis on Scandinavia and Northern Europe, but also reaching out to various other corners of the continent: from France, the Netherlands and England in the West, over Germany, Bohemia and Poland in the central region, to Serbia and Bosnia in the Southeast.‎

‎First printing of Hausdorff important paper in which a generalization of Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis was presented for the first time. This is equivalent to what is now called the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis.The continuum hypothesis is a hypothesis, put forth by Georg Cantor in 1877, about the possible sizes of infinite sets. It states: ""There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and that of the real numbers.""Felix Hausdorff is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and he contributed significantly to set theory, descriptive set theory, measure theory, function theory, and functional analysis.‎

‎Washington, 1963-64. 8vo. The two complete volumes 50 and 51 of the 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' in contemporary half cloth bindings + original printed wrappers.‎

‎First editions. In this work Cohen established the independence of the Axiom of Choice (AC) from ZF and the independence of the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) from ZFC. This result is among the most outstanding achievements in 20th century mathematics. For this work Cohen was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966 and the National Medal of Science in 1967 the 1966 Fields Medal continues to be the only Fields Medal to have been awarded for a work in mathematical logic.‎
