Title of ~hesis /~issertation : Rose of the World: a study of the soul in a recent poetics Author- : John William Scoggan (name ) December 11, 1973 ABSTRACT This thesis is about the Gold Flower which has always stood for the sources of the human soul. We attempt to cover a knowledge of the Gold Flower as it appears principally in the works of Dante Alighieri, Hilda Doolittle and Charles Olson, thereby allowing us to see the mediaeval and pre-mediaeval iconology of the Flowering as a background to a recent poetics. The purpose of the thesis is to comprehend a use of imagery in a recent poetics. The poetics of Hilda Doolittle's War Trilogy; but especially the poetics of Charles Olson's Maximus Poems. Both are very much influenced by a mediaeval Christology which we attempt to portray in these pages. The War Trilogy has been very poorly understood until now, though its importance is undisputed in poetics after 1910 (in the era of Pound and Eliot). It is the work we shall use as a vehicle with which to penetrate the mediaeval representation and meaning of the Yellow Flower. This will eventually lead us to a reading of the Divine Comedy and thereby to a proper understanding of the Imago Mundi which exists at the heart of Olson's Maximus Poems. Much has been written about Olson's poetry from the standpoint of its historical realism as great epic poetry. This is implicit in Olson's works,.which refer specifically to historical facts throughout. What has been overlooked, somewhat, are the purely imaginative and metaphysical levels of the soul which are the most important and difficult events in The Maximus Poems. Olson has not broken away from the traditional beliefs of a formal theology; rather he has encorporated that theology (Christian- ity) into his own experience of a contemporary landscape Massachusetts, physically speaking. But as an envisioned landscape of the soul that City is eternal, located outside of time and history. It is the City of Light wrapped in the petals of the Yellow Flower, whose ideal form we are about to reveal. A metaphysical place of the soul which houses a purely imaginative level of knowledge that has yet to come into 'being,' in fact. This metaphysics of experience is absolutely central to an appreciation of Olson's poetics. Having looked at the Gold Flower as an image of Deity in the works of Dante, H.D. and Olson, we shall enter into a section of inquiry called MYTHISTORY, where history is viewed as the temporal exhibition of the envisioned City Upon a Hill. The City is the Civitas -Dei manifest in the Flower of Creation, which is founded and built in a terrestrial paradise on earth. It is the City which also exists in the works of the three poets under study. I wish to acknowledge the help given by Professors Ralph Maud and Robin Blaser. And I thank Bryant Knox for his work on photography. I wish to put together an imaginary nation. It is my belief that no other nation is possible, or rather, I believe that authors who count take responsibility for a map which is addressed to travellers- of the earth, the world, and the spirit. ~achissue is composed as a map of this land and this glory. Images of our cities and of our politics must join our poetry. I want a nation in which discourse is active and scholarship is understood as it should be, the mode of our understanding and the ground of our derivations.

In this work, pigment characterization was carried out on twenty-one Leonardesque paintings applying in situ XRF and FORS analyses. In-depth data evaluation allowed to get information on the colour palette and the painting technique of the different authors and workshops. Particular attention was paid to green pigments (for which a deeper study of possible pigments and alterations was performed with FORS analyses), flesh tones (for which a comparison with available data from cross sections was made) and ground preparation.

The Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, one of Europe's most prestigious research libraries, houses an impressive collection of manuscripts, printed books, and drawings. From the approximately 12,000 drawings in the Ambrosiana collection, eighty-seven sheets from the late fourteenth to early seventeenth centuries will go on view in the National Gallery of Art's West Building beginning August 12, 1984 and running through October 7, 1984. The Ambrosiana collection contains some of the finest works of North Italian draftsmanship. Until recently, these drawings (with the exception of those of the Venetian School) have received little attention from scholars outside Italy. This exhibition brings to the United States for the first time works from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana by prominent artists of the North Italian Schools as well as by major artists of the Renaissance in Italy and Northern Europe. The show includes works by Pisanello, Leonardo, Giulio Romano, Vasari, Durer, Barocci, Bans Holbein the Elder and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Some of the earliest drawings in the exhibition are by the masters of the International Gothic Style. Several drawings by the prolific (MORE) RENAISSANCE DRAWINGS FRCM THE AMBROSIANA -2. draftsman, Pisanello, appear in the shew.

  • The Pear-Shaped Salvator Mundi Things Have Gone Very Badly Pear-Shaped for the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi
    AiA Art News-service The pear-shaped Salvator Mundi Things have gone very badly pear-shaped for the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi. It took thirteen years to discover from whom and where the now much-restored painting had been bought in 2005. And it has now taken a full year for admission to emerge that the most expensive painting in the world dare not show its face; that this painting has been in hiding since sold at Christie’s, New York, on 15 November 2017 for $450 million. Further, key supporters of the picture are now falling out and moves may be afoot to condemn the restoration in order to protect the controversial Leonardo ascription. Above, Fig. 1: the Salvator Mundi in 2008 when part-restored and about to be taken by one of the dealer-owners, Robert Simon (featured) to the National Gallery, London, for a confidential viewing by a select group of Leonardo experts. Above, Fig. 2: The Salvator Mundi, as it appeared when sold at Christie’s, New York, on 15 November 2017. THE SECOND SALVATOR MUNDI MYSTERY The New York arts blogger Lee Rosenbaum (aka CultureGrrl) has performed great service by “Joining the many reporters who have tried to learn about the painting’s current status”. Rosenbaum lodged a pile of awkwardly direct inquiries; gained a remarkably frank and detailed response from the Salvator Mundi’s restorer, Dianne Dwyer Modestini; and drew a thunderous collection of non-disclosures from everyone else. A full year after the most expensive painting in the world was sold, no one will say where it has been/is or when, if ever, it might next be seen.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci’ of Milan
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ Comment SCIENCE CENTRES AROUND THE WORLD SEE UNREST FOR ART AND SCIENCE IN SOCIETY Arts and science under the sign of Leonardo. The case of the National Museum of Science and Technology ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ of Milan Claudio Giorgione ABSTRACT: Drawing on the example of Leonardo da Vinci, who was able to combine arts and science in his work, the National Museum of Science and Technology of Milan has always pursued the blending and the dialogue of humanistic and scientific knowledge. It has employed this approach in all of its activities, from the set design of exhibition departments to the acquisition of collections and, more recently, in the dialogue with the public. Now more than ever, following a renewal path for the Museum, these guidelines are being subject to research to achieve a new and more up-to-date interpretation. When Guido Ucelli, a Milanese industrialist and the founder of the Museum in 1953, launched the strategic development plan for this Institution, he had a very clear vision from the outset: a modern Museum of Science that could overcome the traditional division between scientific knowledge and humanistic culture and that should have been able to let Arts and Science dialogue, live together and complement each other. This is why the figure of Leonardo was and is still today an evident case of merger of different knowledge, immediately become the leading theme of the Museum. The Gallery exhibiting the models of the machines built in 1953 based on the interpretation of his designs displays real artistic handicraft items, not only technical-didactic creations.

  • The Prose Edda
    THE PROSE EDDA SNORRI STURLUSON (1179–1241) was born in western Iceland, the son of an upstart Icelandic chieftain. In the early thirteenth century, Snorri rose to become Iceland’s richest and, for a time, its most powerful leader. Twice he was elected law-speaker at the Althing, Iceland’s national assembly, and twice he went abroad to visit Norwegian royalty. An ambitious and sometimes ruthless leader, Snorri was also a man of learning, with deep interests in the myth, poetry and history of the Viking Age. He has long been assumed to be the author of some of medieval Iceland’s greatest works, including the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, the latter a saga history of the kings of Norway. JESSE BYOCK is Professor of Old Norse and Medieval Scandinavian Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Professor at UCLA’s Cotsen Institute of Archaeology. A specialist in North Atlantic and Viking Studies, he directs the Mosfell Archaeological Project in Iceland. Prof. Byock received his Ph.D. from Harvard University after studying in Iceland, Sweden and France. His books and translations include Viking Age Iceland, Medieval Iceland: Society, Sagas, and Power, Feud in the Icelandic Saga, The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki and The Saga of the Volsungs: The Norse Epic of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer.

  • Trees As a Central Theme in Norse Mythology and Culture an Archaeological Perspective
    Trees as a Central Theme in Norse Mythology and Culture An Archaeological Perspective AMANDA GILMORE ABSTRACT: This article, the inaugural winner of the journal’s Gurli Aagaard Woods Undergraduate Publication Award, combines the analysis of ancient literature with an archaeological approach in an effort to further interpret the presence and significance of trees in medieval Scandinavian culture. The analysis of textual references to trees such as Yggdrasill and Barnstokkr found in the Norse works Völuspá, Grímnismál, Gylfaginning, and Völsunga Saga, are combined with academic articles, juxtaposed with the examination of archaeological sites at Fröso, Herresta, Bjarsgård, Österfärnebo, and Karmøy, and integrated with modern Scandinavian attitudes to explore an interest in tree-human relationships, literature, and archaeology in medieval Scandinavia. RÉSUMÉ : Cet article, premier lauréat du prix de la revue Gurli Aagaard Woods de publication pour étudiant de premier cycle, combine l’analyse d’une littérature ancienne avec une approche archéologique, dans un effort pour interpréter davantage la présence et l’importance des arbres dans la culture scandinave médiévale. Les analyses des références textuelles à des arbres tels que Yggdrasill et Barnstokkr trouvées dans les travaux Norse Völuspá, Grímnismál, Gylfaginning et la saga Völsunga, sont combinées à des articles académiques, juxtaposées à l’examen de sites archéologiques à Frösö, Herresta, Bjarsgård, Österfärnebo et Karmøy, et intégrées à des attitudes scandinaves modernes afin d’explorer un intérêt envers les relations arbre-humain, la littérature et l’archéologie en Scandinavie médiévale.

Sign ature: \::s\s~ - ,/:-t Name: GG 6c-<-\ J\., Date: 1- Ii 106 r I ABSTRACT Marine touri sm is an expanding segment of both international and domestic touri sm in KwaZulu-Natal and can be of valuable contribution to the national and local economy, but there are also concerns about its sustainability. Tw o of the most popular marine activities in KwaZulu-Natal are di ving and recreational fishing. However, these two different user groups can also create conflicts as they have very different user practic es in relati on to the same marine area ana its resources. While certain marin e regi ons along the coast have been declared marin e protected areas with site specific management plans, other popular marine areas remain almo st unmanaged. Shelly Beach on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal is the most popular boat launching site on the Natal coastlin e with both divers and recreational fishermen visiting a fossilised sand dune reef called Protea Banks which is situated 7 to 8 km off-shore from Shelly Beach. The reef is famous for its abundance of fish as the attraction for fishermen and big sharks attracting divers. A controversial topic in association with Protea Banks is its shark population.

  • Parallels Between Old Norse Cosmogony and Eschatology1
    TEMENOS NORDIC JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION Temenos Vol. 57 No. 1 (2021), 103–26 DOI: 10.33356/temenos.100075 The Echo of Creation: Parallels between Old Norse Cosmogony and Eschatology1 JAN A. KOZÁK Charles University Abstract The article explores the idea of an echo, both literal and structural, that connects Old Norse cosmogony and eschatology. The motif of a bellowing sound or cry appears in cosmogony in the figure of Ymir, ‘Crier’, who is killed by the Æsir, and from his body the world is cre- ated. During the eschatological events the booming sound recurs when Heimdallr blows his horn shortly before the Æsir themselves are killed by their adversaries. A cry is also emitted by Óðinn when he sacrifices himself on the Cosmic Tree. The booming bellow is thus associated with death, especially in the context of implicit or explicit sacrifice. The structural resonance between cosmogony and eschatology is composed of a series of five motifs that reappear in the same sequence at both liminal moments. The eschatology seems to be structurally a repetition of the cosmogony, but with inverted roles: the victims are the gods, and the sacrificers are the giants, which is the inverse of the situation during the cosmogony. The present analysis sheds light on the sacrificial pattern hidden behind the two events, and helps contextualize the motif of the mighty sound that reappears at both moments in cosmic history. Keywords: Old Norse Myth, cosmogony, eschatology, sacrifice, sound, murder, creation, Heimdall, Gjallarhorn, Ymir In this article I will explore the parallels between Old Norse cosmogony and eschatology from two different but interconnected perspectives – first, by focusing on the motif of the bellowing sound or cry, and second, by focusing 1 This research was supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship of the Horizon 2020 Programme at the University of Bergen, SYMBODIN project.
