Summary Les personnages historiques que sont Cl ment de Rome, Simon le Magicien, Pierre l'Ap tre et Apion le grammairien deviennent, dans les Reconnaissances de Cl ment, les personnages d'une fiction romanesque. Rufin d'Aquil e, la fin du IVe si cle, nous apprend qu'il existait de son temps deux versions de ces Reconnaissances dans lesquelles discussions philosophiques et rebondissements de l'intrigue visaient le m me but : d montrer la sup riorit de la v rit proph tique sur celle des philosophes et des autres tenants de la culture grecque. Les tudes que regroupe ce volume proposent une analyse du roman de Cl ment dans sa composition litt raire et dans son contexte culturel et religieux. On y aborde tout d'abord la question des rapports du texte cl mentin avec la paideia, dans les tudes qui portent sur la discussion entre Cl ment de Rome et Apion d'Alexandrie. C'est la nature litt raire du corpus qui occupe ensuite la partie centrale du recueil. On s'int resse aussi la relation qu'entretient le texte avec la philosophie et ses repr sentations, dans les chapitres qui cherchent comprendre l'opposition entre Pierre et Simon. C'est enfin la dimension jud enne du texte qui fait l'objet d'une s rie d' tudes qui traitent de proph tie, de mystique et d'identit religieuse. TABLE OF CONTENTS Avant-propos Premi re partie.

First printing of the paper, announcing the discovery of blood-platelets, THE THIRD CORPUSCLES OF THE BLOOD. Platelets, or thrombocytes or yellow blood cells, are very small, irregularly shaped clear cell fragments (i.e. cells that do not have a nucleus containing DNA), 2-3 µm in diameter, which derive from fragmentation of precursor megakaryocytes. The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days. Platelets are a natural source of growth factors. They circulate in the blood of mammals and are involved in hemostasis, leading to the formation of blood clots. Platelets release thread-like fibers to form these clots.Garrison & Morton, 864.

This translation of Garzoni's The Hospital of Incurable Madness provides a fascinating addition to our understanding of representations of mental illness in the Middle Ages. This translation of Tomaso Garzoni's Renaissance 'best-seller' provides a rich and revealing window on sixteenth-century views of madness and foolishness, and social deviance. Garzoni's encyclopedic work is perhaps the most important contribution of the last half of the century to the 'fools' genre to which Erasmus' Praise of Folly and Sebastian Brant's Ship of Fools also belong. Garzoni provides a spoof of academic writing on madness, with extensive 'reviews of the medical literature' on certain types of madness. A final, intriguing section on the varieties of madness to be found in Garzoni's female 'patients' reveals much about late-Renaissance attitudes towards women. New.

"DRAPER, (JOHN) WILLIAM. - THE FIRST DAGUERREOTYPE PORTRAIT.

In: ""The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. Conducted by David Brewster et al."". Vol. XVII. A stamp to titlepage and a few other pages. Entire volume offered. VIII,552 pp. Draper'spaper: pp. 217-225.
First printing of the famous paper in which Draper relates how he was able to made the first photographic portrait on a daguerreotype plate, giving an ennormously long exposure. The subject of the portrait, Draper's assistant, powdered his face with flour and sat in front of the camera for a half hour facing the sunlight.Draper stated that it is possible to make portraits in full sunlight, using mirrors as light reflectors. ""But in the reflected sunshine, the eye cannot support the effulgence of the rays. It is therefore necessary to pass them through some blue medium, which shall abstract from them their heat and take away their offensive brilliancy. Ihave used for this purpose blue glass, and also ammoniaco-sulphate of copper, contained in a large trough of plate glass, the interstice being about an inch thick."" (p. 217 in the paper offerd).""Draper first achieved wide celebrity for his pioneering work in photography. As early as 1837, while still in Virginia, he had followed the example of Wedgwood and Davy in making temporary copies of objects by the action of light on sensitized surfaces. When the details of Daguerre’s process for fixing camera images were published in various New York newspapers on 20 September 1839, Draper was ready for the greatest remaining challenge, to take a photographic portrait. A New York mechanic, Alexander S. Wolcott, apparently won the race by 7 October. But if Draper knew of this, he persisted in his own experiments and succeeded in taking a portrait not later than December 1839. His communication to the Philosophical Magazine, dated 31 March 1840, was the first report received in Europe of any photographer’s success in portraiture. The superb likeness of his sister Dorothy Catharine, taken not later than July 1840, with an exposure of sixty-five seconds, seems to be the oldest surviving photographic portrait.""(DSB).The volume contains also Michael Faraday's importent letter to Gay-Lussac on induction in the first English version. ""On Magneto-electric induction."", pp. 281-89 a. pp.356-366. (Originally published in French in ""Annales de Chimie et Physique"" in 1832.

The paper appeared the same year in ""Proceedings Am. Phil. Soc."" and it is an importent paper on the chemical action of light, the new science of photochemistry in which Draper made pioneering work, showing that it is only certain light rays of a definite wavelenght that is absorped, and it is this absorption that produces the photochemical effect.

Dedicated as a memorial to the great historian of England and the Continent in the eighth century, Wilhelm Levison, this book provides the widest and most in-depth exploration to date of relations between England and the Continent during an equally crucial period, the tenth century. The volume, which comes out of a sustained collaboration between English and Continental universities, contains thematically arranged essays by established leading specialists and also by younger scholars. By building on the approaches used by Levison as well as other methods that have been developed in the decades since his death, these essays tackle a broad range of questions: What routeways and modes of contact linked England with the Continent? How similar were attitudes to rulership and dynastic strategies? How did the law, the working of government, and the organization and culture of the church differ between England and the Continent? How was the past seen and represented on the two sides of the English Channel? In answering these questions, this volume offers news ways of exploring the links and developing the comparison between England and the Continent in the century after the collapse of the Carolingian Empire, a formative period for the development of Europe.
