Goldfrank This essay originated at the time that ASEC was in its early stages and in response to a requestthat I write something aboutthe church Fathers in medieval Rus'. I already knew finding the patrology concerning just the original Greek and Syriac texts is nothing short of a researcher’s black hole. Given all the complexities in­ volved in the manuscript traditions associated with such superstar names as Basil of Caesarea, Ephrem the Syrian, John Chrysostom, and Macarius of wherever (no kidding), to name a few1 and all of The author would like to thank the staffs of the Hilandar Research Library at The Ohio State University and, of course, the monks of Hilandar Monastery for encouraging the microfilming of the Hilandar Slavic manuscripts by Ohio State. I thank the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection; and Georgetown University’s Woodstock Theological Library as well as its Lauinger Library Reference Room for their kind help. Georgetown University’s Office of the Provost and Center for Eurasian, East European and Russian Studies provided summer research support.

I wish to first thank Nick Toth, Kathy Schick, Kevin Hunt and Claudia Johnson. They not only generously sacrificed their time and energy as members of my committee but offered unfailing support, friendship and ideas throughout all stages of this research. Nick and Kathy provided a stimulating environment at CRAFT and the Stone Age Institute for which I will always be grateful. Nick‟s impromptu experiments and “what would happen if…” questions served as a constant reminder of what makes this field so fun and interesting. Kevin always stressed that research should focus on simple, straightforward questions, not only because they are the most easily tested but because they often provide the most influential results. I have tried to take that advice to heart in this dissertation. To Claudia I am particularly indebted to the support and enthusiasm she has offered at all stages of this project, even though it has had little to do with her own research.

  • World Heritage Sites – Developments and Delistings
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 169/12 03 October 2012 NIAR 513-2012 Eóin Murphy World Heritage Sites – Developments and Delistings 1 Introduction The following paper discusses World Heritage Sites which have undergone development and delisting. 2 Key Points . The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 1972 and allowed Member States to nominate sites of local or national pride to be listed as World Heritage Sites (WHS); . There are currently 962 properties worldwide that meet the necessary criteria, with a further 1,561 tentative sites nominated by UN Member Nations; . Benefits to WHS status includes access to the World Heritage Fund, stimulus to awareness raising and educational initiatives and an enhanced tourism image and profile; . However, there are also costs such as ongoing management costs of up to €173,000 (£150,000) per annum; Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 513-2012 Briefing Paper . The impact of WHS status varies from site to site, with the pre-WHS socio-economic profile of the site having a particular effect. Variables such as pre-inscription status and branding also influence post-inscription success; . A site can be listed in danger of losing its WHS with the World Heritage Committee (WHC) able to intervene to address the situation. Interventions can occur for a number of reasons, including restoring sites following natural disasters or wars; . Initially a site which is in danger of losing its WHS status is identified by UNESCO and placed on the “List of World Heritage in Danger”.

  • Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak
    Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak By Prof. Dr. Phra Dharmakosajarn Rector, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Bangkok, Thailand Definition Visakha Puja, or the Day of Vesak, is the festival celebrating the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana (passing away) of the Lord Buddha. It falls on the full moon day of the month of Visakha or Vesak, the sixth lunar month, (which usually falls during the period May in the Gregorian calendar). Significance According to the Theravada tradition, the three most important events in the life of the Buddha – his birth, his achievement of enlightenment and his entry into of parinibbana – all occurred on the full moon day of Visakha. Aspects of the Dharma relating to the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana of the Buddha include gratitude, the Four Noble Truths and mindfulness. Historical Life of the Buddha The Buddha was born in Lumbini Park, between the cities Kapilavastu and Devadaha of the Sakya Kingdom, in present – day Nepal, on the morning of Friday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 623 BCE, 80 years before the beginning of the Buddhist Era. He exchanged the household life for that of an ascetic and after much strenuous effort attained full enlightenment at Uruvela in the kingdom of Magadha, present – day Bodhgaya, India, on the morning of Wednesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 45 years before beginning of the Buddhist Era. After his enlightenment, he taught those who were able to receive his teaching and countless men and women achieved enlightenment. The Buddha achieved parinibbana, that is, he passed from this world, at the age of 80 on Tuesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month in the Sala Park of the Malla near the town of Kusinara in the Malla Kingdom, present day Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.

In most of the province Churches of Peace (Poland) Protestants were persecuted and deprived of the right and possibility to practise their faith. Through the agency of the No 1054 Lutheran king of Sweden, the Emperor finally allowed (1651–52) the erection of three churches, henceforth known as the Churches of Peace, in Silesian principalities under direct Habsburg rule in Glogow (Glogau), which ceased to exist in the 18th century, Jawor (Jauer), and Swidnica (Schweidnitz) in the south-west part of present-day Poland. The Emperor’s consent was, however, given upon conditions Identification that were difficult to comply with. The churches had to be built exclusively of perishable materials (wood and clay), Nomination Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica located outside city walls, and built in a limited period of time.

  • Abstracts of Reports and Posters
    Abstracts of Reports and Posters Amira Adaileh The Magdalenian site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld The open air site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in Sachsen-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. It was discov- ered in the mid 1950´s in the immediate vicinity of the famous Magdalenian site of Saaleck. Since that time, archaeologists collected over 2000 lithic artifacts during systematical surveys. The technological and typological analyses of the lithic artifacts confirmed the assignment of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld to a late Magdalenian. Furthermore, the investigation of the surface collections brought forward information about the character of this camp site, the duration of its occupation and the pattern of raw material procure- ment. The fact that Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in a region with more than 100 Magdalenian sites fostered a comparison of the lithic inventory with other Magdalenian assemblages. Thus, allowing to spec- ify the position of the Lengefeld collection within the chorological context of the Magdalenian in Eastern Germany. Jehanne Affolter, Ludovic Mevel Raw material circulation in northern french alps and Jura during lateglacial interstadial : method, new data and paleohistoric implication Since fifteen years the study of the characterization and origin of flint resources used by Magdalenian and Azilian groups in northern French Alps and Jura have received significant research work. Diverse and well distributed spatially, some of these resources were used and disseminated throughout the late Upper Paleolithic. Which changes do we observe during the Magdalenian then for the Azilian? The results of petrographic analysis and techno-economic analysis to several archaeological sites allow us to assess dia- chronic changes in economic behavior of these people and discuss the significance of these results.

    West Coast From the famous Calanches de Piana until the bay of Calvi, walking along the coastline of Corsica's Regional park This hike sets o# from the calanques of Piano near Calvi, the coastal side of the regional park of Corsica. It follows the most beautiful stages of the Mare e Monti but also incorporates other interesting paths. The hike includes crossing the gulf of Porto and the Scandola nature reserve, which is classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Each day provides a new source of amazement. As the route is between the sea and mountains, this hike o#ers a wide variety of countryside: the famous sculptured rocks known as the calanches of Piana, paths zigzagging through the Corsican maquis and crossing former chestnut plantations, the chemin des douaniers (literally the customs path), which follows the ragged coastline of Corsica. Furthermore, your evenings will be spent in charming Corsican villages such as Piana and Ota where the houses made of red granite create an exceptional sight. The highpoint of the trip is arriving in Calvi; pottering around the cobbled streets of the citadel is a must. In spring, you will be delighted by the smells and the flowering of the maquis. In autumn, you will be dazzled by the lights. And for those seeking pleasure, there is the possibility to swim in the sea every day. Level of di&culty The walks are on good footpaths and trails, the terrain is varied but often rocky. You need to be used to walking and take regular exercise to enjoy this holiday.
