Libraries' continue to use the Wade-Gilles romanization system, rather than the newer and more commonly accepted pinyin system. For place names in the Peoples Republic of China this causes of a growing data retrieval EDITOR problem as an increasing proportion of clients query catalogs and Philip Hoehn . reference personnel using place names in pinyin romanization, e.g., The University of California, Berkeley Beijing, Xi'an, and Guangdong, rather than Peking, Sian and PRODUCTION MANAGER Kwangtung. Donna P. Koepp Most creators and dispensers of information that contains Chinese University of Kansas place names use pinyin, and it is largely from these sources that the SUBSCRIPTIONS MANAGER users of map and geographical information obtain their spellings. The Peter L. Stark popular press, including the New lOrk Times, the Wall Street Journal, University of Oregon Time, and Newsweek, uses pinyin. So do major indexing and ADVERTISING MANAGER abstracting tools, such as the Reader's Guide and the Social Science David A. Cobb University of Illinois Index. More important, pinyin is used by the major map and atlas REVIEW EDITOR publishers, among them Rand McNally, the National Geographic Brent Allison Society, and the Central Intelligence Agency, and pinyin is University of Minnesota recommended by the United States Board on Geographical Names. Arguments can be made for the political, linguistic, and ethnic superiority of either system, but the essential fact is that libraries­ EDITORIAL BOARD and curiously, the publishers of Webster's New Geographical Ralph E. Ehrenberg Dictionary and of American encyclopedias-are about a decade behind Library of Congress the rest of the information industry in switching to pinyin, and are Alice C. Hudson New York Public Library increasingly out-of-step with the needs of their clients. Mary L. Larsgaard The Chicago Manual of Style states, " ... pinyin ... has now University of California, Santa Barbara largely supplanted the older Wade-Gilles romanization system ... Robert S. Marlin Louisiana State University [Ojne sensible practice for scholarly publications is to use Wade­ Charles A. Seavey Gilles in books about the pre-1949 period and pinyin in those about University of Arizona the period after 1949." Stanley D. Stevens The geo- and cartographic information community should take the University of California, Santa Cruz lead in resolving the present difficulty by working with the Library of Congress and other interested organizations to establish pinyin as our CONSULTING EDITORS primary romanization system for Chinese geographical names. One HelenJane Armstrong, possible solution would be to use pinyin for post-1949 names in University of Florida Tony Campbell, China, and to continue to use Wade-Gilles for places not extant after The British Library 1949 as well as for those in Taiwan, and to default to pinyin in cases Larry Carver, of doubt. The inevitable switch to pinyin will be costly, but to delay University of California, Santa Barbara would be even more costly. Michael P.

For people living in Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Italy, clothing reflected and defined for others who one was socially and culturally. Merchants dressed differently than peasants; Italians dressed differently than the French.1 Clothing, or costume, was seen as a principal signifier of social identity; it marked different social orders within Europe, and it was a vehicle by which Europeans could understand the peoples of foreign cultures. Consequently, Eur- opeans became interested in how people from different regions and social ranks dressed, a fascination that gave rise in the mid-sixteenth century to a new publishing venture and book genre, the costume book (Figure 1).

  • Beyond the Bosphorus: the Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596
    BEYOND THE BOSPHORUS: THE HOLY LAND IN ENGLISH REFORMATION LITERATURE, 1516-1596 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Jessica Wolfe Patrick O’Neill Mary Floyd-Wilson Reid Barbour Megan Matchinske ©2019 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jerrod Rosenbaum: Beyond the Bosphorus: The Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596 (Under the direction of Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation examines the concept of the Holy Land, for purposes of Reformation polemics and apologetics, in sixteenth-century English Literature. The dissertation focuses on two central texts that are indicative of two distinct historical moments of the Protestant Reformation in England. Thomas More's Utopia was first published in Latin at Louvain in 1516, roughly one year before the publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses signaled the commencement of the Reformation on the Continent and roughly a decade before the Henrician Reformation in England. As a humanist text, Utopia contains themes pertinent to internal Church reform, while simultaneously warning polemicists and ecclesiastics to leave off their paltry squabbles over non-essential religious matters, lest the unity of the Church catholic be imperiled. More's engagement with the Holy Land is influenced by contemporary researches into the languages of that region, most notably the search for the original and perfect language spoken before the episode at Babel. As the confusion of tongues at Babel functions etiologically to account for the origin of all ideological conflict, it was thought that the rediscovery of the prima lingua might resolve all conflict.

  • Earliest Known Maps #100 TITLE
    Earliest Known Maps #100 TITLE: The Earliest Known Map DATE: 6,200 B.C. AUTHOR: unknown DESCRIPTION: The human activity of graphically translating one’s perception of his world is now generally recognized as a universally acquired skill and one that pre-dates virtually all other forms of written communication. Set in this pre-literate context and subjected to the ravages of time, the identification of any artifact as “the oldest map”, in any definitive sense, becomes an elusive task. Nevertheless, searching for the earliest forms of cartography is a continuing effort of considerable interest and fascination. These discoveries provide not only chronological benchmarks and information about geographical features and perceptions thereof, but they also verify the ubiquitous nature of mapping, help to elucidate cultural differences and influences, provide valuable data for tracing conceptual evolution in graphic presentations, and enable examination of relationships to more “contemporary primitive” mapping. As such, there are a number of well- known early examples that appear in most standard accounts of the history of cartography. The most familiar artifacts put forth as “the oldest extant cartographic efforts” are the Babylonian maps engraved on clay tablets. These maps vary in scale, ranging from small-scale world conceptions to regional, local and large-scale depictions, down to building and grounds plans. In detailed accounts of these cartographic artifacts there are conflicting estimates concerning their antiquity, content and significance. Dates quoted by “authorities” may vary by as much as 1,500 years and the interpretation of specific symbols, colors, geographic locations and names on these artifacts often differ in interpretation from scholar to scholar.

  • TITLE: Mesopotamian City Plan for Nippur DATE: 1,500 B.C
    City Plan for Nippur #101 TITLE: Mesopotamian City Plan for Nippur DATE: 1,500 B.C. AUTHOR: unknown DESCRIPTION: This Babylonian clay tablet, drawn around 1,500 B.C. and measuring 18 x 21 cm, is incised with a plan of Nippur, the religious center of the Sumerians in Babylonia during this period. The tablet marks the principal temple of Enlil in its enclosure on the right edge, along with storehouses, a park and another enclosure, the river Euphrates, a canal to one side of the city, and another canal running through the center. A wall surrounds the city, pierced by seven gates which, like all the other features, have their names written beside them. As on some of the house plans, measurements are given for several of the structures, apparently in units of twelve cubits [about six meters]. Scrutiny of the map beside modern surveys of Nippur has led to the claim that it was drawn to scale. How much of the terrain around Nippur has been included cannot be known because of damage to the tablet, nor is there any statement of the plan’s purpose, although repair of the city’s defenses is suggested. As such, this tablet represents possibly the earliest known town plan drawn to scale. Nippur city map drawn to scale Examples of city maps, some quite fragmentary, are preserved for Gasur (later called Nuzi), Nippur, Babylon, Sippar, and Uruk. The ancient Mesopotamian city stands as the quintessential vehicle of self-identification in that fundamentally urban civilization. Our knowledge of a Meso- 1 City Plan for Nippur #101 potamian conception of “citizenship” is unfortunately quite poor, but a member of the community was identified as ”one of the city,” and so the equivalent expression of the term “citizen,” or something perhaps similar to it, is tied to the concept and word for the city.

  • 3D Printing and 3D Scanning of Our Ancient History: Preservation and Protection of Our Cultural Heritage and Identity
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT Volume 8, Issue 5, 2017 pp.441-456 Journal homepage: www.IJEE.IEEFoundation.org TECHNICAL PAPER 3D printing and 3D scanning of our ancient history: Preservation and protection of our cultural heritage and identity Maher A.R. Sadiq Al-Baghdadi Center of Preserving of the Cities Heritage and Identity, International Energy and Environment Foundation, Najaf, P.O.Box 39, Iraq. Received 12 June 2017; Received in revised form 12 Aug. 2017; Accepted 17 Aug. 2017; Available online 1 Sep. 2017 Abstract 3D printing and 3D scanning are increasingly used in archeology and in cultural heritage preservation. These 3D technologies provide museum curators, researchers and archeologists with new tools to capture in 3D ancient objects, artifacts or art pieces. They can then study, replicate, restore or simply archive them with much more details than traditional 2D pictures. It is even possible to 3D scan entire archeological sites to get a full 3D mapping. Iraq is too rich in ancient cultural heritage but unfortunately much of the hundreds of thousands of artifacts remain in archives of the museums worldwide. Having the exact copies of these ancient artifacts will allow the audience here to learn more about our heritage. The Center of Preserving of the Cities Heritage and Identity (CPCHI) at International Energy and Environment Foundation (IEEF) started a roadmap in preserving our ancient history with 3D scanning, 3D virtual reality, and 3D printing technologies. As part of the project create high-quality 3D replicas of our cultural heritage, which are located in our museums and sites, and most of them are spread around the world, and then exhibit it in several venues throughout our country Iraq.
