‎Company She Keeps. The Medieval Swedish Cult of St. Katherine of Alexandria and Its Transformations,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, XXII+276 p., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN 9782503533780.‎

‎This volume offers an interdisciplinary collection of original essays by both new and established scholars that surveys the complex relationships between law and sovereign power in medieval and early modern Europe. Sovereignty, law, and the relationship between them are now among the most compelling topics in history, philosophy, literature and art. Some argue that the state's power over the individual has never been more complete, while for others, such factors as globalization and the internet are subverting traditional political forms. This book exposes the roots of these arguments in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The thirteen contributions investigate theories, fictions, contestations, and applications of sovereignty and law from the Anglo-Saxon period to the seventeenth century, and from England across western Europe to Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Particular topics include: Habsburg sovereignty, Romance traditions in Arthurian literature, the duomo in Milan, the political theories of Juan de Mariana and of Richard Hooker, Geoffrey Chaucer's legal problems, the accession of James I, medieval Jewish women, Elizabethan diplomacy, Anglo-Saxon political subjectivity, and medieval French farce. Together these contributions constitute a valuable overview of the history of medieval and Renaissance law and sovereignty in several disciplines. They will appeal to not only to political historians, but also to all those interested in the histories of art, literature, religion, and culture. Robert Sturges is Professor of English at Arizona State University, where he teaches late medieval literature and literary theory. New.‎

‎First appearance of Tschirnhaus's three exceedingly important papers which were to to initiate one of the most famous mathematical discoveries. In the papers he used infinitisimal methods which were very close to Leibniz's method and where he tried to lay down criteria for rational quadratures in the case of conic, cubic and quadratic curves, papers that led Leibniz to publish his first paper on the differential calculus, the ""Nova Methoda"" in the Acta for 1684 in order to secure his priority over Tschirnhaus concerning the calculus. Leibniz discovered, when he read Tschirnhaus' papers, that Tschirnhaus had here published results showing similarity with Leibniz's invention of the calculus as he had confided to Tschirnhaus earlier, during their Parisian stay, and this without references to Leibniz.The present volume of Acta also contain the first edition of Tschirnhaus' ""Tschirnhaus Tranformation"". Tschirnhaus work intensively on finding a general method for solving equations of higher of higher degree. ""His transformations constituted the most promising contribution to the solution of equations during the seventeenth century" but his elimination of the second and third coefficients by means of such transformation was far from adequate for the solution of the quintic.(Boyer. A History of Mathematics, 1968, 472 p.).Tschirnhaus (1651-1708) , a Saxon nobleman, had as wide interest as acquaintances: He studied in Leyden, served in the Dutch army, visited England and Paris several times. He set up a glassworks in Italy and is said to have introduced Porcelain to Europe. He wrote about philosophy and mathematics and was a close friend of Leibniz.‎

This is the most general transformation of an irreducible polynomial that takes a root to some rational function applied to that root.""(Wikipedia).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs 1683 M.‎

‎Functions and Decorations: Art and Ritual at the Vatican Palace in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Paperback, 242 p., 98 b/w ill., 240 x 340 mm. ISBN 9782503521718.‎

‎This volume is a collection of new essays by art historians from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States dedicated to shedding new light on the complex historical interrelationship between functions and decorations within architectural settings. It concentrates on the historical context of works of art, that is their ritual embedding in liturgy, ceremony and habit. The authors thereby focus on a particularly rewarding object, namely the Vatican Palace as it appeared between the 13th and the 16th century. The contributions consider various aspects: the Vatican's medieval textile decorations, the impact of ceremonial concerns on architectural form, the relationship between music and ceremony, Pinturicchio's and Raphael's wall paintings in the papal apartments, the decorations of the Cappella Paolina and the Sala Regia, the history of the Vatican Library, and also methodological questions concerning the history of functions of art. Languages: English, German, Italian.‎

‎First appearnace of this important paper in which Tyndall announced his discovery of fractional sterilization ""Tyndallization"".""In my last paper I made some remarks upon this subject"" and in relation to our present experiments, the influence of drying and hardening was brought home to me by the fact that in all the foregoing cases the infusions which five minutes boiling proved sufficient to sterilize were, without exception, derived from fresh hay mowen in 1876, while the infusions which five minutes' boiling failed to sterilize were derived, without exception, from old hay mown either in 1875 or some previous year.""(p. 159 in the paper).""Tyndall interested himself in atmospheric germs and dust. His experiments on sterilization by heat lead him to the discovery in 1877 (the paper offered) of fractional sterilization (Tyndallization)....The reseraches of Tyndall, even more than those of Pasteur, dealt the final blow to the doctrine of spontaneous generation"" they were fundamental for the progress of bacteriology.""(Garrison & Morton 2495, listing his later book from 1881 ""Essays on the floating-matter of the air..."").During the 1870s Pasteur and Tyndall were in frequent communication.‎
