(Ernst von Meyer in History of Chemistry). For this discovery Lord Rayleigh and W. Ramsay received the Nobel Prize (1904).After having made several measuring of the densities of gases, ""Rayleigh came across a curious puzzle. With oxygen, he always obtained the same density, regardless of how the oxygen might be produced, whether from one particular compound, from a second compound, or from the air. The situation was different with nitrogen. The nitrogen he obtained from air constantly showed a slightly higher density than the nitrogen he obtained from any of various compounds. Rayleigh could think of several ways in which the nitrogen obtained from air might be contaminated but none of the possibilities checked out experimentally. He was so frustrated that he went so far as to write to the journal ""Nature"" asking for suggestions. Ramsay, a brilliant Scottish chemist, asked permission to tackle the problem and received it. The upshot was that a new gas, somewhat denser that nitrogen, was discovered to exist in the atmosphere. It was named argon and it was the first of a series of rare gases of unusual properties whose existence had never been suspected.""(Asimow).Dibner, Heralds of Science No. 50 - Neville, Historical Chemical Library vol.

Catalogue of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, Volume IV. MSS 481-485,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, XXVIII+616 p., 281 b/w ill., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9782503514406.
Volume IV is devoted to the items in the Beinecke's general collection with the shelf numbers 481, 482, 483, 484, and 485, each a discrete collection of manuscript fragments. The text consists of 285 entries -- describing single leaves, groups of leaves, or pieces of leaves -- of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts written between the seventh and sixteenth centuries in Western Europe. They are, for the most part, the battered remnants of otherwise lost books from the Middle Ages. Almost all of the fragments included in this catalogue are in Latin, although there are a few items in Middle High German and in Hebrew. The two larger groups of fragments described here (MS 481 and MS 482) were assembled originally as a palaeographical collection documenting a wide range of Latin bookscripts used during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Included are specimens in Uncial, Visigothic, Merovingian, Beneventan, and humanist scripts, as well as numerous examples of Caroline minuscule and Gothic book hands,with a particular richness in eleventh- and twelfth-century manuscripts from Southern Germany. The fragments described in the catalogue are almost all derived from books. There are manuscripts of biblical texts (with and without glosses), classical and patristic authors, exegetical treatises, sermons, liturgical works, monastic rules, medieval encyclopedias, legal works, scholastic treatises, schoolbooks, grammatical works, medieval chronicles, calendars, and medieval poetry. Classical authors are represented by manuscripts of Vergil and Cicero; the Greek fathers by Basil and Origen (in Latin translation); the Latin fathers by Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory. Medieval writers include Isidore, Bede, Paul the Deacon, Notker Balbulus, Bern of Reichenau, and Thomas Aquinas; and on the secular side, Boethius, Priscian, Wirnt von Gravenburg, Eberhard of Bethune, and Ludolphus de Luco. There are numerous liturgical manuscripts, many of them with early examples of musical notation, including a substantial portion of an eleventh-century breviary; sequentiaries with works by Notker Balbulus and Gottschalk; and seventeen leaves of a twelfth-century antiphonary from Lambach that shed new light on the performance there of a Magi play. Manuscripts written in Italy, Spain, France, England, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Low Countries are represented. A few items can be attributed to specific writing centres, including scriptoria in Luxeuil, Reims, Tours, Fresing, Fulda, Schaffhausen, Lambach, Kremsmunster, and Melk. New.
Future of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Problems, Trends, and Opportunities for Research,
Turnhout, Brepols, 1999 Hardback, XVI+194 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503508054.
This volume contains a selection of essays, reflecting a broad range of interests in medieval and Renaissance studies, yet focusing on problems, trends, and opportunities for research. This volume, containing a selection of essays from ACMRS's 1996 conference, reflects a broad range of interests in medieval and Renaissance studies. Although most of the eleven essays address western European topics, one essay deals with Byzantine political and theological histroy, and one touches on Arabic poetry in medieval Sicily. The chronological range is also broad, extending from the seventh to the twentieth century and including topics from an early Byzantine polemicist to the recent growing interest in medievalism, and from critical readings of early texts to implications of computer technology for future manuscript study. In some significant ways the volume continues earlier discussions of the state of the profession, such as those in William D. Paden (ed.), The Future of the Middle Ages, and John Van Engen (ed.), The Past and Future of Medieval Studies. More generally, this second volume in the ASMAR series extends the theme of the first, Reinventing the Past, and makes fresh contributions to the scholarship on a number of problems. If the current volume provides a reliable gauge for the future of medieval and Renaissance studies, we are on the verge of new beginnings, increasingly outward-looking, reexamining and redefining old boundaries to reach a new and sharpened understanding of the past. The contributions are: 'A panel discussion among Leslie J. Workman, T.A. Shippey, Allen J. Frantzen, Richard J. Utz, William D. Paden, and Arthur F. Kinney'; Marcia L. Colish, 'Re-envisioning the Middle Ages: a view from intellectual history'; Judith Barad, 'The ontology of animal rights'; Pamela Clements, 'Shape-shifting and gender-bending: Merlin's last laugh at silence'; Joan Grenier-Winthur, 'Lectio multiplicior, lectio potior: On the form and impact of electronic hypermedia editions'; L.S.B. MacCoull, 'George of Pisidia, Against Severus: in praise of Heraclius'; Karla Mallette, 'Arabic and Italian lyric in medieval Sicily'; Richard. New.

La Gaule du sud connut une grande efflorescence litt raire aux 4? et 5? si cles. Quelques auteurs connus et moins connus de cette poque ont t r unis dans le pr sent volume, d'o la grande diversit de textes. F bade, v que d'Agen fut, dans son trait Contra Arianos - r ponse directe la deuxi me Formule de Sirmium (357/358) - l'instigateur d'une violente opposition anti-arienne en Gaule. A l'occasion de la translation de quelques reliques Rouen, l' v que du lieu, Victrice, crivit un trait de circonstance dans une langue vivante et concise: le De Laude Sanctorum. Dans le Libellus emendationis, opuscule peu important en apparence qui fut pourtant cit fr quemment par les auteurs ult rieurs, L porius porta t moignage de son retour la vraie foi. Le retentissement du Commonitorium de Vincent de L rins fut tr s grand: pendant des si cles il a t un fil conducteur permettant de combattre et de d masquer des id es nouvelles et dangereuses au nom de la "tradition". Les Excerpta, collection de textes emprunt s divers ouvrages d'Augustin, sont galement de lui. Evagre crivit un dialogue fictif, l'Altercatio legis inter Simonem. Sermones duo in constitutionem hominis secundum. En vue de la pr sente dition on a utilis pour la premi re fois quelques fragments sur papyrus du 6? si cle. Le volume s'ach ve par les Epistulae de Rurice, v que de Limoges: c'est une collection de lettres mod le, pouvant servir diverses occasions. TABLE OF CONTENTS Phoebadius Agennensis ?

Long before its emergence as a political entity, Europe was distinguished by its intense traffic in goods and people. We too often forget that the trade routes and other navigable highways were trafficked at a very early stage by artists, works of art and rich patrons desirous of satisfying their appetite for beauty. Well-known and lesser known works offer an insight into this ???European space for art and ideas??? which already existed at the dawn of the Middle Ages. With its remarkable and often spectacular works, le Grand Atelier illustrates various facets and many forms of this artistic interaction. The work covers a long period in the history of art, from the fifth century ??? the fall of the Roman Empire in the west ??? to the eighteenth century ??? the birth of the first great museums; calling on 350 works from well over a hundred European collections. The texts in the catalogue stem from the pens of several European luminaries in the history of art.
