An annotated list of Italian Renaissance humanists, their writings about Jews, and involvement in Hebrew studies, ca. 1440-ca.1540 This list, arranged in chronological order by author’s date of birth, where known, is a preliminary guide to Italian humanists’ Latin and vernacular prose and poetic accounts of Jews and Judaic culture and history from about 1440 to 1540. In each case, I have sought to provide the author’s name and birth and death dates, a brief biography highlighting details which especially pertain to his interest in Jews, a summary of discussions about Jews, a list of relevant works and dates of composition, locations of manuscripts, and a list of secondary sources or studies of the author and his context arranged alphabetically by author’s name. Manuscripts are listed in alphabetical order by city of current location; imprints, as far as possible, by ascending date. Abbreviations: DBI Dizionario biografico degli Italiani (Rome: Istituto della enciclopedia italiana, 1960-present) Kristeller, Iter Paul Oskar Kristeller, Iter Italicum: A Finding List of Uncatalogued or Incompletely Catalogued Humanistic Manuscripts of the Renaissance in Italian and Other Libraries; Accedunt alia itinera, 6 vols (London: Warburg Institute; Leiden: E.

Bishop of Gerace in Calabria from 1348 until 1366, and Latin archbishop of Thebes until 1380. During his time in Thebes, which was the capital of the Catalan duchy of Athens, he studied Hebrew and in the mid- to late-1370s he began work on a polyglot Latin-Greek-Hebrew Bible dedicated to Pope Urban VI.

I This issue you’ll also find the results of the latest believe this was simply a case of all the additional time Diplomacy World Writing Contest. While I would have and effort that went into doing Issue #100. It wasn’t until liked to get more entries than I did, at least we received #100 was finished and uploaded to the web site that I enough to actually award the prizes this time! realized how many extra hours I’d been spending each Congratulations to our winners, and keep your eyes week trying to assemble all that material.

Pocketciv a Solitaire Game of Building Civilizations
PocketCiv A solitaire game of building civilizations. (version:07.11.06) OBJECT: Starting with a few tribes, lead your civilization through the ages to become...civilized. COMPONENTS: What you will definitely need: • The deck of Event cards If you are playing, basic, no frills, true PocketCiv style, you will additionally need: • A pencil • A pad of paper • This set of rules • A printout of the Advances and Wonders If you want to play a bunch of pre-built Scenarios, you will need: • The Scenario book Finally, if you want a full “board game” experience, you will need to download, printout and mount: • The files that contains the graphics for the Resource Tiles, and Land Masses • The deck of Advances and Wonders • Poker chips (for keeping track of Gold) • Glass Beads or wood cubes (for use as Tribes) A FEW WORDS OF NOTE: It should be noted here that since this is a solitaire game, the system is fairly open-ended to interpretation, and how you want to play it. For example, while in the following "Build Your World" section, it talks about creating a single Frontier area; there's nothing that prevents you from breaking up the Frontier into two areas, which would give you two Sea areas, as if your Empire is in the middle of a peninsula. It's your world, feel free to play with it as much as you like. Looking at the scenario maps will give you an idea how varied you can make your world. However, your first play should conform fairly close to these given rules, as the rules and events on the cards pertain to these rules.

Panzer Warrior
Panzer Warrior Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader Rules consolidation Consolidated by Fred Schwarz Incorporating Optional Rules by Byron Henderson, and some new rules by Fred Schwarz Developed by Byron Henderson and Keith Plymale V1.21 12-26-2016 Preface I have been playing PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader since the early 1970s. PanzerBlitz was the first wargame I owned and I have great nostalgic feel for the game. At times it has sat on my shelf un- played for long but I come back to it now and then. The game has an elegant simplicity and is very good game of positioning and maneuver. But I have always been bothered that nuanced differences exist between PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader; and I don’t like having to make the mental leap each time I change games. Also I have never really liked the lack of Indirect Fire ability in PB but don’t like the lethality and record keeping of those rules in PL. So I set about consolidating the two rule books into one, while integrating many of the excellent rule changes done by Mr. Byron Henderson. For a more detailed look at how I set about doing this consolidation and why I made certain decisions, please read the Consolidator’s notes at the end of the rules. This is my first endeavor at doing such a rules consolidation. I hope I have been successful. I ask the gaming community to take some time to play with these rules as written and to provide feedback to me. At some time down the road, I will take another look and see if your thoughts and suggestions should be incorporated.

Clash of Steel a Closer Look at WWII Grand Strategy Simulation
Clash of Steel A Closer Look at WWII Grand Strategy Simulation Table of Contents Introduction Third Reich vs COS Ground Units Where's the Front? Getting Cutoff Strength, Morale, Efficiency, & Supply Air Units Naval Units Action Points Troop Quality (Efficiency) Ground Combat Weather Supply Railroads Mechanized Infantry Conquering Countries and Victory Points Economies Strategic Bombing Research Politics Grand Strategy Equations Combat Tables Versions Rule Book COS II Why Did I Write This? Introduction The designer of a wargame is confronted with two conflicting goals. One goal is to design a game that is fun to play. The other is to design a game which is reasonably accurate. A little too much of the former and one builds a “beer and pretzels” game; fast and fun at the expensive of realism. A design based on the later often finds its way into the “monster” game hall of fame; big and slow with lots of stats. It is indeed rare when a design emerges which nicely balances the two extremes. The end result is a game which is relatively fast and fun while also embodying solid realistic modeling. SSI's Clash of Steel (COS) is one such game. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some well-designed features of COS. On the surface, COS is a very simple and straight-forward game. However, under the surface one will find a magnificently designed and well thought-out model of WWII grand strategy. It is easy to confuse simplicity with a lack of realism. On the other hand, it is also easy to confuse complexity with accuracy.

Introduction to Army Leadership
8420010_LT1_p002-015 8/14/08 1:31 PM Page 2 Leadership Track Section 1 INTRODUCTION TO ARMY LEADERSHIP Key Points 1 What Is Leadership? 2 The Be, Know, Do Leadership Philosophy 3 Levels of Army Leadership 4 Leadership Versus Management 5 The Cadet Command Leadership Development Program e All my life, both as a soldier and as an educator, I have been engaged in a search for a mysterious intangible. All nations seek it constantly because it is the key to greatness — sometimes to survival. That intangible is the electric and elusive quality known as leadership. GEN Mark Clark 8420010_LT1_p002-015 8/14/08 1:31 PM Page 3 Introduction to Army Leadership ■ 3 Introduction As a junior officer in the US Army, you must develop and exhibit character—a combination of values and attributes that enables you to see what to do, decide to do it, and influence others to follow. You must be competent in the knowledge and skills required to do your job effectively. And you must take the proper action to accomplish your mission based on what your character tells you is ethically right and appropriate. This philosophy of Be, Know, Do forms the foundation of all that will follow in your career as an officer and leader. The Be, Know, Do philosophy applies to all Soldiers, no matter what Army branch, rank, background, or gender. SGT Leigh Ann Hester, a National Guard military police officer, proved this in Iraq and became the first female Soldier to win the Silver Star since World War II. Silver Star Leadership SGT Leigh Ann Hester of the 617th Military Police Company, a National Guard unit out of Richmond, Ky., received the Silver Star, along with two other members of her unit, for their actions during an enemy ambush on their convoy.

War at Sea: Nineteenth-Century Laws for Twenty-First
International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 98 (2), 419–447. War and security at sea doi:10.1017/S1816383117000418 War at sea: Nineteenth-century laws for twenty-first- century wars? Steven Haines* Steven Haines is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Greenwich and a retired British naval commander. He chaired the Editorial Board of the UK’s official Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict (2004) and co-authored its chapter on “Maritime Warfare”. He had previously written the Royal Navy’s maritime strategic doctrine (British Maritime Doctrine, 1999). Abstract While most law on the conduct of hostilities has been heavily scrutinized in recent years, the law dealing with armed conflict at sea has been largely ignored. This is not surprising. There have been few naval conflicts since 1945, and those that have occurred have been limited in scale; none has involved combat between major maritime powers. Nevertheless, navies have tripled in number since then, and today there are growing tensions between significant naval powers. There is a risk of conflict at sea. Conditions have changed since 1945, but the law has not developed in that time. Elements of it, especially that regulating economic warfare at sea, seem outdated and it is not clear that the law is well placed to regulate so- called “hybrid” warfare at sea. It seems timely to review the law, to confirm that which is appropriate and to develop that which is not. Perhaps a new edition of the San Remo Manual would be timely. Keywords: naval warfare, conduct of hostilities at sea, sea control, economic warfare, power projection, maritime hybrid warfare, San Remo Manual.
