The first part of the Capuchino escoces was translated by Diogo Gomes Carneiro, best known as the author of Oração apodixica, Lisbon 1641, the first published work by a Brazilian (he was a native of Rio de Janeiro). Gomes Carneiro’s translation appeared in 1657, but by 1667 was so scarce that Almeida wrote, “I learned after having written this Second Part of the ‘Capuchino Escoces’ that so few copies were printed of the First that one cannot find one today ….” (Borba’s translation). Almeida (a native of Galego, Extremadura) there- fore wrote a summary of the first part to be included with the second part, making the volume complete in itself when first published in this form in Lisbon, 1667. It appeared 4 richard c. ramer again in 1708 and 1749. Alemida possibly translated part 2 from the French Le capucin Escossois (Rouen, 1662). The Capuchino escoces tells the story of a Scottish Protestant, George Leslie, who converted to Catholicism. Under the name Fr. Archangel he became head of Catholic missions to England and Scotland. Fr. Archangel told his story (largely fictitious) to Giovanni Battista Rinuccini, Archbishop of Fermo, who printed it in 1644 under the title Il Cappuchino scozzese. The book became a bestseller, and was translated into French, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, German and English as well as Portuguese. j Borba de Moraes (1983) I, 155-6; Período colonial pp. 83-5.

It was very useful for me to make a comparison with the Italian method learned during the master course. My supervisor, Professor Falini, during the year of study, showed us her excellent work. My contribution to the work done has helped me to decide which topic I would deal with and to find the enthusiasm to develop a possible model of management for the historic centre of Porto. Most of the supporting materials for the analysis is part of a bibliographic research; although my personal preparation leads me naturally to focus on architecture component of the city system, I will shortly comment some/many of the studies developed by citizens of Porto that I have analyzed about other areas of influence such as engineering, economic, socio- anthropological, environmental, infrastructure.

  • Minawi-Libyan History-Program2-Without Schedule
    Workshop A New Start? A Workshop on Libyan History and Historiography at a Time of Historical Transition June 8-9, 2012 Zentrum Moderner Orient, Kirchweg 33, 14129 Berlin, Germany Convened by Mostafa Minawi (EUME-Fellow 2011/12) Participants : Mohammed Edeek (University of Tripoli) Emna Elaouni (ENAU, Tunis) Güneş Işıksel (Collège de France, Paris) Suad Mohammmed al-Jaffal (University of Tripoli) Jakob Krais (Freie Universität Berlin) Nora Lafi (ZMO) Mostafa Minawi (EUME-Fellow 2011/12) Eileen Ryan (Columbia University) Henning Sievert (Universität Bonn) Ebubekir Subaşı (The Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archives, Istanbul) Salaheddin H. Sury (Centre for National Archives and Historical Studies, Tripoli) Knut S. Vikør (University of Bergen) Description: This workshop aims to bring together historians working in the area of Libyan history in order to reflect on their own research in relation to the past, present and future of Libyan historiography. In particular, Libyan and non-Libyan historians will discuss and debate the ways the toppling of the 40-year-old Gadhafi regime will impact the writing and re-writing of Libyan history as well as their own research and publication. Some of the questions that will be tabled are: What do we really know about 19 th - and early 20 th -century Libya? What are the historical connections between Benghazi (east), Tripoli (west) and Fezzan (south)? How are the Libyan coastal cities tied to Saharan and sub-Saharan Africa? What socio-political events of the late 19 th century have helped to shape contemporary Libyan social and political structure? How has historical research and knowledge production been organized and deployed in the past, and how do we envision the regime change to impact the state of Libyan history and historiography in the near future? Context: Recent events have thrust Libya into the spotlight.

Esta divindade surge, em muitos aspetos, como um caso excecional da religião in‑ dígena. Nomeadamente no que respeita às variantes da sua nomenclatura, possível extensão geográfica, ico‑ nografia e iconologia. Este contributo trata ainda de incluir a temática do seu culto, ainda mal compreendido, nomeadamente em Mérida, aproximada a Proserpina enquanto culto privado e ligado às elites emeritenses e à sua apropriação do Lucus Feroniae. Palavras ‑chave: Divindade Peninsular, Divindade inominada, Ataegina. ABSTRACT This article presents lines of research for aspects that seem more relevant about the peninsular deity Ataegina. This divinity appears, in many respects, as an exceptional case of the Indigenous religion. Namely, in the vari‑ ants of her nomenclature, geographical extension, iconography and iconology of the divinity. This contribu‑ tion is also including the thematic of her cult, yet poorly understood, in Merida, close to Proserpina as a private worship and connected to the emeritenses elites and their appropriation of the Lucus Feroniae.

  • Yes, Virginia, Another Ballo Tragico: the National Library of Portugal’S Ballet D’Action Libretti from the First Half of the Nineteenth Century
    YES, VIRGINIA, ANOTHER BALLO TRAGICO: THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF PORTUGAL’S BALLET D’ACTION LIBRETTI FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro, M.F.A., M.A., B.F.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Karen Eliot, Adviser Nena Couch Susan Petry Angelika Gerbes Copyright by Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro 2015 ABSTRACT The Real Theatro de São Carlos de Lisboa employed Italian choreographers from its inauguration in 1793 to the middle of the nineteenth century. Many libretti for the ballets produced for the S. Carlos Theater have survived and are now housed in the National Library of Portugal. This dissertation focuses on the narratives of the libretti in this collection, and their importance as documentation of ballets of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, from the inauguration of the S. Carlos Theater in 1793 to 1850. This period of dance history, which has not received much attention by dance scholars, links the earlier baroque dance era of the eighteenth century with the style of ballet of the 1830s to the 1850s. Portugal had been associated with Italian art and artists since the beginning of the eighteenth century. This artistic relationship continued through the final decades of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century. The majority of the choreographers working in Lisbon were Italian, and the works they created for the S. Carlos Theater followed the Italian style of ballet d’action.

  • 'Intrepid Sailors: the Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign'
    H-War Rogers on Reid, 'Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign' Review published on Sunday, July 14, 2013 Chipp Reid. Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2012. xii + 295 pp. $35.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-61251-117-7. Reviewed by Greg Rogers (University of Maine) Published on H-War (July, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey The last decade has witnessed a renewed interest in the history of the United States’ conflict with the Barbary pirate states of North Africa.[1] In addition to the bicentennial of the First Barbary War (1801-1805), the events of September 11, the subsequent War on Terror, and the spate of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have served to turn the attention of historians and the reading public alike to early nineteenth-century struggles that went understudied for the past half century or so. The result has been the publication of works interested in a variety of topics and themes, ranging from parallels to the twenty-first century War on Terror to the role of American diplomacy and capitalism. Similarly, the authors of this body of literature have targeted academics, military history buffs, general audiences, and everybody in between. Chipp Reid’s 2012 Intrepid Sailors offers a narrative where the “great deeds” of “great men” had very real effects on not only the institutional development of the United States Navy but also the international standing of the new Republic a generation after its birth (p. ix).

  • Palm Trees and the City
    Select Views of Luminous Subjects: Palm Trees and the City Juana María Bravo Supervisor: Samuel Silva, PhD Masters Dissertation and Project Work Presented to the MADEP Faculty of Fine Arts – University of Porto in Art and Design Class of 2018–2020 for the Public Space. Abstract: The present work is an essayistic exploration of image-based relationships between nature and city in the context of Climate Change. It burrows through the history of palm trees in Porto to relate how tropical vegetation became a repository of dispairing meanings for the European consciousness during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and how that process affected nature/culture and metropole/periphery duologues. Finally, it looks at how the environmental crisis has impacted these duologues using the concept of Landscape Crisis, i.e., the moment when Climate Change is made visible in familiar and dear images. Keywords: Landscape Crisis, Natural History, Contemporary Art, Gardens of Porto, Garden Cities, Mydy taha, Tropicality, Timefulness Note: The videos and exercises associated with this text, as well as other projects I developed during the Masters are available at the Students’ Blog: https:// studentsdropwork.com/2018/08/01/juana-bravo/ Table of Contents Introduction (6) A Brief (Hi)Story of the Authorship of Palm Trees (15) City Gardens (32) Palm trees in Porto (39) Garden Cities (51) The Mountain as a Screen (68) Conclusions (79) List of Images (84) Acknowledgements (90) Bibliography (92) Years do odd things to identity. What does it mean to say I am that child in the photograph at Kishmish in 1935? Might as well say I am the shadow of a leaf of the acacia tree felled seventy years ago moving on the page the child reads.
