Introduction The transition from a British ‘trading-post empire’ in Asia and Africa to an empire forged by annexation is well enough known, as is the institutional alliance between ‘commerce and Christianity’ that accompanied that transition, and many historians have drawn connections between the two.1 Scholars have also observed the centrality of the Bible to British Protestantism: by identifying denominational variants in Bible-reading, con- necting commercial family bibles with Victorian domesticity, and comparing British and German Old Testament criticism.2 This article asks how Victorians made sense of their empire by referring to the Bible, one of their most important travelling companions.

Unable to fathom that an African society might have constructed what we today know as Great Zimbabwe, German geographer Karl Mauch (1837-1875) and British archaeologist James Theodore Bent (1852-1897) developed fanciful historical narratives.

Cornelison, Ph.D. Date approved: 4/6/2012 ii Abstract Soprapporte—rectangular, overdoor lintels sculpted from marble or slate—were a prominent feature of both private residential and ecclesiastic portals in the Ligurian region in northwest Italy, and in particular its capital city Genoa, during the second half of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Sculpted site- or city-specific religious narratives occupy the centers of most soprapporte, and are typically framed with the coats of arms or the initials of their patrons. As this study demonstrates, soprapporte were not merely ornamental, for they acted as devotional objects and protective devices while connecting the citizens who commissioned them to

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction The English word “museum” comes from the Latin word, and is pluralized as “museums” (or rarely, “musea”). It is originally from the Ancient Greek (Mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to the Muses (the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts), and hence a building set apart for study and the arts, especially the Musaeum (institute) for philosophy and research atAlexandria by Ptolemy I Soter about 280 BCE. The first museum/library is considered to be the one of Plato in Athens. However, Pausanias gives another place called “Museum,” namely a small hill in Classical Athens opposite the Akropolis. The hill was called Mouseion after Mousaious, a man who used to sing on the hill and died there of old age and was subsequently buried there as well. The Louvre in Paris France. 2 Museum The Uffizi Gallery, the most visited museum in Italy and an important museum in the world. Viw toward thePalazzo Vecchio, in Florence. An example of a very small museum: A maritime museum located in the village of Bolungarvík, Vestfirðir, Iceland showing a 19th-century fishing base: typical boat of the period and associated industrial buildings. A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic,cultural, historical, or scientific importance and some public museums makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. The State Historical Museum inMoscow. Introduction 3 Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside.

The object of this article is to assess the extent of such innovation, in various fields, in the period between Tewodros and MƼnilƼk, against the back-drop of the country߈s prevailing misoneism, i.e. opposition to change. Some of the developments of these two decades, such as the arrival of new imports, including medicines and anti-smallpox vaccine, were due to improved transpiration and increasing contacts with the outside world; others, among them growing opposition to slavery and the slave trade, re- sulted from events on the wider international stage; others again, particu- larly in the field of land tenure,

  • List of British Consular Officials Turkey
    List of British Consular Officials in the Ottoman Empire and its former territories, from the sixteenth century to about 1860 July 2011 Introduction The following list has grown from a set of rough notes compiled by David Wilson while he was helping to catalogue the papers of Sir John Elijah Blunt at the University of Birmingham. The original aim was simply to identify people mentioned in those papers, but it soon became obvious that they were connected by a complicated network of family relationships extending over several generations. A more detailed account of those most closely connected with the Blunt family is being prepared separately, but it is hoped this draft list may be useful for people researching other families or particular consulates, since there does not appear to be a single reliable source of information with such a wide coverage. In preparing this list, it was found that many of the sources are unreliable, incomplete or contradictory; this led to the adoption of a format which tries to show clearly where each piece of information came from. This does produce a rather cluttered effect, with a lot of brackets, but it makes it simple to remove redundant material or insert new as the project develops. Quite a lot of material from earlier drafts has already been removed as the picture became clearer. The aim has been to include all appointments from the foundation of the Levant Company in 1581 up to 1 Jan 1860, although some later appointments are also listed. The end point was chosen as being a time after the Crimean War when the Levant Consular Service had more or less settled down after the various upheavals that followed the transfer from the Levant Company to the Foreign Office.
