    Consuls of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli

    1 COLLABORATIVE ONLINE RESEARCH PROJECT Consuls of “THE DARDANELLES” and “GALLIPOLI” (Updated Version no: 4 – February 2013) Welcome to a resource being compiled about the consuls and consulates of “The Dardanelles” and “Gallipoli”. This is an ongoing project. In this fourth update, many new details have been added, especially from genealogical sources, and some questions clarified. The information shown here is not complete and may contain errors. For this reason, it may appear rather haphazard in some places. In time, a more coherent narrative will emerge. The project aims to take advantage of the Internet as a source of information and as a means of communication. There is now a vast and increasing amount of information online which allows us access to sources located in various countries. Many sources are quoted verbatim until the content can be confirmed in comparision with other sources. If you are a researcher, family member, or simply interested in some aspect of this topic, you may be able to help by providing additions, corrections, etc., however short. This will help to fill in gaps and present a fuller picture for the benefit of everybody researching these families or this locality. Comments and contributions should be sent to the following e-mail address: (contact[at]levantineheritagefoundation.org) The information here will be amended in the light of contributions. All contributions will be acknowledged unless you prefer your name not to be mentioned.

  • Breeding Buckwheat for Increased Levels of Rutin, Quercetin and Other Bioactive Compounds with Potential Antiviral Effects

Gaertn.) are sources of many bioactive compounds, such as rutin, quercetin, emodin, fagopyrin and other (poly)phenolics. In damaged or milled grain under wet conditions, most of the rutin in common and Tartary buckwheat is degraded to quercetin by rutin-degrading enzymes (e.g., rutinosidase). From Tartary buckwheat varieties with low rutinosidase activity it is possible to prepare foods with high levels of rutin, with the preserved initial levels in the grain. The quercetin from rutin degradation in Tartary buckwheat grain is responsible in part for inhibition of α-glucosidase in the intestine, which helps to maintain normal glucose levels in the blood.
  • The Jesuit Role As “Experts” in High Qing Cartography and Technology∗

    The Jesuit Role As “Experts” in High Qing Cartography and Technology∗

    臺大歷史學報第31期 BIBLID1012-8514(2003)31p.223-250 2003年6月，頁223~250 2003.1.7收稿，2003.5.29通過刊登 The Jesuit Role as “Experts” in High Qing Cartography and Technology∗ Benjamin A. Elman∗∗ Abstract Earlier accounts have generally overvalued or undervalued the role of the Jesu- its in Ming-Qing intellectual life. In many cases the Jesuits were less relevant in the ongoing changes occurring in literati learning. In the medical field, for example, before the nineteenth century few Qing physicians (ruyi 儒醫) took early modern European “Galenic” medicine seriously as a threat to native remedies. On the other hand, the Kangxi revival of interest in mathematics was closely tied to the introduc- tion of Jesuit algebra (jiegen fang 借根方), trigonometry (sanjiao xue 三角學), and logarithyms (duishu 對數). In the midst of the relatively “closed door” policies of the Yongzheng emperor and his successors, a large-scale effort to recover and col- late the treasures of ancient Chinese mathematics were prioritized in the late eight- eenth and early nineteenth century. Despite setbacks during the early eighteenth century Rites Controversy, the Jesuits in China remained important “experts” (專家) in the Astro-Calendric Bureau (欽天監) and supervisors in the Qing dynasty’s imperial workshops. Earlier Adam Schall (1592-1666) and Ferdinand Verbiest (1623-1688) had not only championed the role of mathematics in Christianizing literati elites, but they also produced in- struments and weapons at the behest of both the Ming and Qing dynasties. The tech- nical expertise of the Jesuits in the China mission during the eighteenth century also ranged from translating Western texts and maps, introducing surveying methods to producing cannon, pulley systems, sundials, telescopes, water-pumps, musical in- struments, clocks, and other mechanical devices.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

    Thomas Witlam Atkinson 27 (bap. 1799–1861) – On the Edge “mr atkinson i presume?” In 1858 Thomas W. Atkinson shared the platform with Dr David Livingstone at a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, Burlington House, London. The report of the meeting in the Illustrated London News of 16th January is headed: ‘The Travellers Livingstone and Atkinson’. By 1858 Livingstone had crossed Africa and Thomas had travelled 39,000 miles across Central Asia to territory no European had set foot on. Both had named their children after rivers in the countries they had explored. Both travelled with their wives. Now Thomas is the forgotten man, with a tarnished reputation. How much does luck, strength of character and influence ultimately decide lasting fame? Baptised in March 1799 at Cawthorne, Barnsley, Thomas Atkinson was the son of William, a stone mason at Cannon Hall, Cawthorne, home of the Spencer Stanhope family, and Martha Whitlam, a housemaid at Cannon Hall. Martha was William’s second wife and they had married on 19th August 1798 in Cawthorne. There were two more children of the marriage: Ellen, born 1801, and Ann, born 1804. When William died in 1827, he left the tenancy in the house he lived in to his daughter Ellen and the residue of his estate to the two girls. The house was on a 42-year lease from the late John Beatson of Cinder Hill Farm Cawthorne, commencing December 1822. Thomas is not mentioned in the will. Worthies of Barnsley records that Thomas was born in a house next to the Old Wesleyan chapel and went to school in Cawthorne.

    Tartary Three

    SECTION Tartary Three Tartary is the historical name of a region of indefinite extent in east Europe and Central Asia. The name brings to mind a fabulous space of legendary monarchs. In this poem, Tartary seems to be a land of dreams and happiness. If I were Lord of Tartary, Myself and me alone, My bed should be of ivory, Of beaten gold my throne; And in my court should peacocks flaunt, And in my forests tigers haunt, And in my pools great fishes slant Their fins athwart the sun. SCAN PAGE* If I were Lord of Tartary, Trumpeters every day To every meal would summon me. And in my courtyard bray; And in the evening lamps would shine, Yellow as honey, red as wine, While harp, and flute, and mandoline, Made music sweet and gay. If I were Lord of Tartary. I'd wear a robe of beads, White and gold, and green they'd be- And clustered thick as seeds; peacocks flaunt peacocks show off their beauty to everyone And ere should wane the morning star, athwart the sun the fins of the fish are shining in sunlight mandoline old spelling of mandolin, a musical instrument I'd don my robe and scimitar, ere should wane very early in the morning And zebras seven should draw my car the morning star don my robe to put on clothes Through Tartary’s dark glades. scimitar a short curved sword Lord of the fruits of Tartary, glades forests 21 *For detailed instructions, see inside front cover. © Ratna Sagar for Central Academy Jodhpur Her rivers silver-pale!
