Budapest, 19 May 2016 __________________________ Signature CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis outlines the wastes produced in medieval Krakow - Animal, Industrial, and Domestic – and the efforts made to control them between the dates of the city’s incorporation under Magdeburg law in 1257 up to 1500. Applying a cross-disciplinary approach to the subject, civic notary books, chronicles, literature, archaeological evidence, art, and modern chemical analysis are all utilized to draw a picture of what waste in Krakow was like during the medieval period. Chapter one covers the city government’s efforts to manage waste build- up in Krakow, the insufficiencies of which lead to the continued rise of the city’s street level until the sixteenth century. This management is compared with that of other polities and shows that although the city developed impressive infrastructure, civic leaders failed to implement sufficient legislation, enforcement, and public services to keep Krakow clean. In chapter two, industrial waste is discussed focusing on the most noxious trades - metallurgy, tanning, meat processing, and textile manufacture – detailing contemporary knowledge of the harmful effects of these activities and efforts made to manage them. Chapter three focusses on domestic waste and outlines how residents dealt with rubbish in everyday life.

  • Nuremberg Chronicle Recycles a Pre-Christian Idea Paul Gross*
    ERROR TOWARDS JUDGEMENT. HOW THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE RECYCLES A PRE-CHRISTIAN IDEA PAUL GROSS* Resumo: Ainda que firmemente baseada numa doutrina cristã, aCrónica de Nuremberga de 1493 abre com uma enumeração de ideias opostas relativamente à origem do mundo e do Homem. Esta primeira passagem é, porém, desde logo rotulada como sendo um erro. Contudo, enquanto o narrador estabelece uma verdade universal, outro erro surge proeminentemente como parte da dimensão factual da crónica. Através da análise intermedial dos textos e de xilogravuras, o presente texto pretende investigar então a forma como este incu- nábulo expõe uma variedade de inverdades com o eventual intuito de integrar uma destas na sua ideologia. Palavras-chave: Crónica do mundo; Incunábulo; Intermedialidade; Early New High German. Abstract: Although firmly grounded in Christian doctrine, the 1493Nuremberg Chronicle opens with an enu- meration of conflicting ideas regarding the origin of the world and of mankind. This initial passage is quickly and effectively done away with by being labelled erroneous. However, while the narrator continues to estab- lish a universal truth, one of the errors reappears, prominently, as part of the chronicle’s facticity. Through the intermedial analysis of texts and woodcuts the paper investigates how the incunable exposes a multitude of falsehoods to eventually integrate one of them into its ideology. Keywords: World chronicle; Incunable; Intermediality; Early New High German. Although firmly grounded in Christian doctrine, the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle opens with an enumeration of conflicting ideas regarding the origin of the world and of man- kind. This initial passage is quickly and effectively done away with by being labelled erro- neous.

  • An Automatic Part-Of-Speech Tagger for Middle Low German
    An automatic part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German Mariya Koleva, Melissa Farasyn, Bart Desmet, Anne Breitbarth and Véronique Hoste Ghent University Syntactically annotated corpora are highly important for enabling large-scale diachronic and diatopic language research. Such corpora have recently been developed for a variety of historical languages, or are still under development. One of those under development is the fully tagged and parsed Corpus of Historical Low German (CHLG), which is aimed at facilitating research into the highly under-researched diachronic syntax of Low German. The present paper reports on a crucial step in creating the corpus, viz. the creation of a part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German (MLG). Having been transmitted in several non-standardised written varieties, MLG poses a challenge to standard POS taggers, which usually rely on normalized spelling. We outline the major issues faced in the creation of the tagger and present our solutions to them. Keywords: historical linguistics, part-of-speech tagging, conditional random fields, feature selection, normalization 1. Introduction Corpora of historical texts annotated with different levels of grammatical information, such as parts of speech, (inflectional) morphology, syntactic chunks, clausal syntax, provide an important resource for studies of diachronic syntactic variation and change (e.g. Kroch et al. 2000, Rögnvaldsson & Helgadóttir 2011). They enable the automatic extraction of syntactic information from historical texts (more than is manually possible), and allow making statistically valid observations. Apart from reducing the amount of time required for data retrieval, an important advantage is that they make research testable and replicable. The Corpus of Historical Low German (CHLG) (Breitbarth et al.

SOURCES-PREPARATION-ADOPTION. The magnitude of an attempt to codify the German civil. laws can be adequately appreciated only by remembering that for more than fifteefn centuries central Europe was the world's arena for startling political changes radically involv- ing territorial boundaries and of necessity affecting private as well as public law. With no thought of presenting new data, but that the reader may properly marshall events for an accurate compre- hension of the irregular development of the law into the modem and concrete results, it is necessary to call attention to some of the political- and social factors which have been potent and conspicuous since the eighth century. Notwithstanding the boast of Charles the Great that he was both master of Europe and the chosen pr6pagandist of Christianity and despite his efforts in urging general accept- ance of the Roman law, which the Latinized Celts of the western and southern parts of his titular domain had orig- THE GERM AN CIVIL CODE. inally been forced to receive and later had willingly retained, upon none of those three points did the facts sustain his van- ity. He was constrained to recognize that beyond the Rhine there were great tribes, anciently nomadic, but for some cen- turies become agricultural when not engaged in their normal and chief occupation, war, who were by no means under his control. His missii or special commissioners to those people were not well received and his laws were not much respected.

Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

  • 1 a Place Is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape
    A Place is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape in the Nuremberg Chronicle Kendra Grimmett A Sense of Place May 3, 2015 In 1493 a group of Nuremberg citizens published the Liber Chronicarum, a richly illustrated printed book that recounts the history of the world from Creation to what was then present day.1 The massive tome, which contains an impressive 1,809 woodcut prints from 645 different woodblocks, is also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle. This modern English title, which alludes to the book’s city of production, misleadingly suggests that the volume only records Nuremberg’s history. Even so, I imagine that the men responsible for the book would approve of this alternate title. After all, from folios 99 verso through 101 recto, the carefully constructed visual and textual descriptions of Nuremberg and its inhabitants already unabashedly favor the makers’ hometown. Truthfully, it was common in the final decades of the fifteenth century for citizens’ civic pride and local allegiance to take precedence over their regional or national identification.2 This sentiment is strongly stated in the city’s description, which directly follows the large Nuremberg print spanning folios 99 verso and 100 recto (fig. 1). The Chronicle specifies that although there was doubt whether Nuremberg was Franconian or Bavarian, “Nurembergers neither wished to be 1 Scholarship on the Nuremberg Chronicle is extensive.

  • An Investigation of the Effect of Pit Latrine Additives on VIP Latrine Sludge Content Under Laboratory and Field Trials
    An investigation of the effect of pit latrine additives on VIP latrine sludge content under laboratory and field trials BF Bakare1*, CJ Brouckaert1, KM Foxon1 and CA Buckley1 1Pollution Research Group, School of Chemical Engineering, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 4041, South Africa ABSTRACT Sludge content in VIP latrines is degraded mainly under anaerobic conditions and the process is relatively slow. At varying stages of digestion within pit latrines, sludge accumulates and odour and fly nuisance may occur which could pose risks to public health and the environment. Management of accumulated sludge in pit latrines has been a major problem facing a number of municipalities in South Africa and is also a global issue. Manufacturers of various commercial pit latrine additives claim that by addition of this product to pit content, accumulation rate and pit content volume can be reduced, thereby preventing the pit from ever reaching capacity. This paper presents a comprehensive study conducted to determine the effects of additives on pit contents under laboratory and field conditions. By conducting both laboratory and field trials, it was possible to identify whether there is any acceleration of mass or volume stabilisation as a result of additive addition, and whether any apparent effect is a result of biodegradation or of compaction. The results indicated that neither laboratory trials nor field trials provided any evidence that the use of pit additives has any beneficial effect on pit contents. The reasons why additives seem to not have any beneficial effects are also discussed. Keywords: additives, digestion, pit content, sludge, public health, VIP latrine INTRODUCTION not been conclusively and scientifically demonstrated, and the findings from the few available studies previously conducted, as In South Africa, where the provision of adequate sanitation presented in the literature, are controversial.
