  • Apus Constellation Visible at Latitudes Between +5° and -90°
    Apus Constellation Visible at latitudes between +5° and -90°. Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July. Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 Uranometria. The French explorer and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille charted and gave the brighter stars their Bayer designations in 1756. The five brightest stars are all reddish in hue. Shading the others at apparent magnitude 3.8 is Alpha Apodis, an orange giant that has around 48 times the diameter and 928 times the luminosity of the Sun. Marginally fainter is Gamma Apodis, another ageing giant star. Delta Apodis is a double star, the two components of which are 103 arcseconds apart and visible with the naked eye. Two star systems have been found to have planets. Apus was one of twelve constellations published by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition, known as the Eerste Schipvaart, to the East Indies. It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1603 under the Dutch name De Paradijs Voghel, "The Bird of Paradise", and Plancius called the constellation Paradysvogel Apis Indica; the first word is Dutch for "bird of paradise".

By examining the diverse, and sometimes conflicting, opinions that Catholic censors expressed on Bodin’s text and the ‘errors’ it contained, the essay shows that even a relatively cohesive ‘reading community’ such as that of Counter-Reformation censors could nurture fundamental disagreement in evaluating the content and dangerousness of a book, as well as in devising appropriate countermeasures.

  • Reference Resources for Cataloguing German and Low Countries Imprints to Ca. 1800
    Geleitwort Wer sich mit der Ermittlung, der Katalogisierung oder dem bibliographischen Nachweis Alter Drucke befasst, benötigt eine breite Palette der unterschiedlichsten Hilfsmittel. Da, wo noch keine modernen Standardreferenzwerke vorliegen, ist der Rückgriff auf ältere, zeitnahe oder zeitgenössische Werke oft unverzichtbar. Im Rahmen seiner langjährigen Tätigkeit an der National Library of Scotland hat sich Dr. William A. Kelly intensiv mit der retrospektiven Bibliographie der deutschen und der niederländischen Druckschriften beschäftigt und über viele Jahre hinweg auf diesem Gebiet ein beinahe konkurrenzloses Expertenwissen erworben. Es ehrt ihn, dass er diese Kenntnisse von Anfang an mit anderen, bibliothekarischen Kollegen zumal, teilen wollte. Ursprünglich war „nur“ an eine Ergänzung eines bereits 1982 eingeführten Hilfsmittels gedacht – der Standard Citation Forms of published bibliographies and catalogues used in rare book cataloging nämlich. Angesichts der umfassenden Kenntnisse und der Gründlichkeit des Bearbeiters zeigte sich jedoch rasch, dass das Supplement für den deutschen und niederländischen Bereich den Umfang des gesamten Hauptwerks um ein vielfaches übertreffen würde: In seinem verdienstvollen Verzeichnis weist Dr. Kelly fast 2.150 einschlägige (bio-)bibliographische Nachschlagewerke nach. Da ein derart hoch-spezialisiertes Werk jedoch naturgemäß nur einen sehr eingeschränkten Käuferkreis findet, mochte – trotz großer inhaltlicher Wertschätzung - kein Verleger das unternehmerische Risiko einer kommerziellen Publikation

  • THE CONSTELLATION MUSCA, the FLY Musca Australis (Latin: Southern Fly) Is a Small Constellation in the Deep Southern Sky
    THE CONSTELLATION MUSCA, THE FLY Musca Australis (Latin: Southern Fly) is a small constellation in the deep southern sky. It was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 in Amsterdam by Plancius and Jodocus Hondius. The first depiction of this constellation in a celestial atlas was in Johann Bayer's Uranometria of 1603. It was also known as Apis (Latin: bee) for two hundred years. Musca remains below the horizon for most Northern Hemisphere observers. Also known as the Southern or Indian Fly, the French Mouche Australe ou Indienne, the German Südliche Fliege, and the Italian Mosca Australe, it lies partly in the Milky Way, south of Crux and east of the Chamaeleon. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1598 under the Dutch name De Vlieghe, ‘The Fly’ This title generally is supposed to have been substituted by La Caille, about 1752, for Bayer's Apis, the Bee; but Halley, in 1679, had called it Musca Apis; and even previous to him, Riccioli catalogued it as Apis seu Musca. Even in our day the idea of a Bee prevails, for Stieler's Planisphere of 1872 has Biene, and an alternative title in France is Abeille. When the Northern Fly was merged with Aries by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1929, Musca Australis was given its modern shortened name Musca. It is the only official constellation depicting an insect. Julius Schiller, who redrew and named all the 88 constellations united Musca with the Bird of Paradise and the Chamaeleon as mother Eve.

    erudition and the republic of letters 2 (2017) 359-395 brill.com/erl Universal History and the Origin Narrative of European Modernity: The Leiden Lectures of Jacob Perizonius (1651–1715) on Historia Universalis Frederic Clark Department of Classics, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, ca 90089 [email protected] Abstract This article explores a central facet of humanist scholarship and pedagogy—namely, the writing and teaching of universal history—in the decades around 1700. In does so by examining one of the most prominent humanists of the European Republic of Let- ters: the Leiden classical scholar Jacob Perizonius (1651–1715). Through analysis of Peri- zonius’s unpublished lectures on universal history, it explores how ‘classicists’ (long before they commonly identified as such) could command geographies and tempo- ralities far distant from Greco-Roman antiquity. Late humanist classical scholars like Perizonius used the ancient genre of universal history or historia universalis to com- bine everything from the fall of Rome to the emergence of Renaissance Europe into a single continuous narrative. In so doing, Perizonius helped forge a via media between antiquity and modernity at a moment when self-identified “ancients” and “moderns” * I wish to thank Mordechai Feingold for inviting me to write this article and for his generous assistance throughout the process. I am also most grateful to Anthony Grafton for his many insights into Perizonius and his expert guidance through the world of humanist scholarship. As I was finishing this article I greatly benefited from participation in a discussion group with Anton Matytsin and Thomas Wallnig on the history of early modern historiography.

S. BAYNES, EDINBURGH ___________ 1825 As Published By Grace-eBooks.com 2015 Book I - Works of Augustus Toplady Memoirs MEMOIRS OF THE REV. AUGUSTUS MONTAGUE TOPLADY, A. B. ON perusing the pages of biography, we find therein delineated the achievements of various persons exhibited to the world, according to the caprice and mutability of human opinion. But when we turn our views to the infallible leaves of inspiration, we discover a just discrimination of characters, with that mark of distinction stamped upon them from heaven, that stands in everlasting force, and admits of no exception. According to Scripture testimony, the righteous and the wicked are the only two classes that mankind are divided into; whatever becomes of the ungodly, the sacred records inform us, that it shall be well respecting the present and eternal prosperity of believers. For, "the foundation of the Lord," or his immoveable purpose respecting his people, "standeth sure, having this seal," this authentic and inviolable sanction, "The Lord knoweth," the Lord loves, and will ever continue to take care of, "them that are his." We have many striking illustrations of the wonderful preservations experienced by the worthies of the Old and New Testaments, their whole history presents us with little else but a continued chain of miraculous providences.

COMMENTARII HIS.TORICI ANTONIO POSSEVINO AND JESUITS OF JEWISH ANCESTRY JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee*. I. POSSEVINO'S PROBABLE JEWISH ANCESTRY Contrary to the attitudes of many Spaniards, indeed of many Christians of his time, Ignatius of Loyola was entirely without racial anti-Semitism. His desire to be conformed to Christ in the tiniest details even led him to regret he was not born of Jewish blood. During its formative era, unlike many reli­ gious orders of the sixteenth century, the Society of Jesus welcomed Chris­ tians of Jewish descent into its ranks. As is well known, some of Loyola's closest collaborators were of Jewish descent, for instance, Diego Lainez and l Juan Polanco . Many other Jesuits of Jewish descent made notable con­ 2 tributions, particularly in the foreign missions • It has not been noticed by scholars that Antonio Possevino (1533-1611), a famous figure in the second generation of Jesuit history, was probably born of Jewish Christian ancestry3. His probable Jewish descent seell1S to have affected his later Jesuit career at various stages. His autobiography, which was written for publication but remains in manuscript, says nothing about any Jewish background. He relates that his grandfather and his father mi­ grated from Piedmont to Milan, then after its capture by the Spaniards * The author wishes to thank Marquette University and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Founda­ tion for grants that made the archival research on this article possible.

  • MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING in the ARCTIC: a First Step Toward Ecosystem-Based Management
    PART TWO MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE ARCTIC: A first step toward ecosystem-based management A technical report of the Aspen Institute Dialogue and Commission on Arctic Climate Change Prepared by Charles N. Ehler, Ocean Visions This technical report of the Aspen Institute’s Dialogue and Commission on Arctic Climate Change was commissioned by the Aspen Institute on behalf of the Commission. The views expressed in this report are those of the author, Charles N. Ehler, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Aspen Institute or any individual member of the Commission. All efforts have been made to ensure accuracy of this report, but the author is ultimately responsible for all inaccuracies in this report. Executive Summary Driven by outside economic forces and the effects of climate change, the Arctic, its ecosystems, and its people are faced with substantial change ranging from the loss of ice-dependent species, more intense uses of the Arctic resources, including space, and the loss of natural services provides by Arctic ecosystems. International and national interests in mitigating and adapting to these changes has led to increased calls to manage human activities through an ecosystem-based approach. Marine spatial planning has emerged as an operational approach to translate this concept into management practice in many marine areas around the world. Marine spatial planning is a public process of analyzing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities to specific marine areas to achieve ecological, economic, and social goals and objectives that are specified through a political process. MSP is integrated, future-oriented, participatory, adaptive, ecosystem-based, and area-based.
