  • INTRODUCTION 1. in Explanation of His Point, Sperry Writes: 'It Is Not Just
    Notes INTRODUCTION 1. In explanation of his point, Sperry writes: 'It is not just that the poetry is taken up in isolation from the life of the poet, from the deeper logic of his career both in itself and in relation to the history of his times, although that fact is continuously disconcerting. It is further that in reducing the verse to a structure of ideas, criticism has gone far toward depriving it of all emotional reality'(14). 2. See, in particular, Federico Olivero's essays on Shelley and Ve­ nice (1909: 217-25), Shelley and Dante, Petrarch and the Italian countryside (1913: 123-76), Epipsychidion (1918: 379-92), Shelley and Turner (1935); Corrado Zacchetti's Shelley e Dante (1922); and Maria De Courten's Percy Bysshe Shelley e l'Italia (1923). A more recent, and important, work is Aurelio Zanco's monograph, Shelley e l'Italia (1945). Other studies of note are by Tirinelli (1893); Fontanarosa (1897); Bernheimer (1920); Bini (1927); and Viviani della Robbia (1936). 3. In researching this field of study, Italian critics have found Shelley to be their best spokesman. 4. A work such as Anna Benneson McMahan's With Shelley in Italy (1907) comes to mind. Hers is a more inclusive anthology than John Lehmann's Shelley in Italy (1947) but needs to be brought up to date. 5. There has been a growing recognition of the importance of the Italian element in Shelley's poetry. Significant studies in English since those of Scudder (1895: 96-114), Toynbee (1909: 214-30), Bradley (1914: 441-56) and Stawell (1914: 104-31) are those of P.

  • Eagle Imagery in Jewish Relief Sculpture of Late Ancient Palestine: Survey and Interpretation
    EAGLE IMAGERY IN JEWISH RELIEF SCULPTURE OF LATE ANCIENT PALESTINE: SURVEY AND INTERPRETATION Steven H. Werlin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Religious Studies Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Jodi Magness Reader: Eric M. Meyers Reader: Zlatko Plese © 2006 Steven H. Werlin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT STEVEN H. WERLIN: Eagle Imagery in Jewish Relief Sculpture of Late Ancient Palestine: Survey and Interpretation (Under the direction of Jodi Magness) The following study examines the image of the eagle in the architectural relief sculpture of Palestinian synagogues as well as on Jewish sarcophagi. The buildings and sarcophagi on which these objects were displayed are dated between the third and sixth century C.E. Chapter one introduces the topic by presenting some general background to the state of research and by defining relevant terms for the study. Chapter two presents the primary evidence in the form of a rudimentary catalogue. Chapter three examines the so-called “Eagle Incident” described by the ancient historian, Josephus, in War 1.648-55 and Antiq. 17.151-63. Chapter four seeks to understand the meaning of the eagle-symbol within the literature familiar to Jews of late ancient Palestine. Chapter five presents the author’s interpretation of the eagle-symbol in both the sculptural remains and literary references. It considers the relationship of the image and meaning to Near Eastern and Byzantine art in light of the religious trends in late ancient Jewish society.

    American Helvetia Philatelic Society www.Swiss-Stamps.org Multilingual Philatelic Dictionary German-English Dictionary page 2 What is the translation German-English Abbreviations page 128 of that word? Look here for most of the French-English Dictionary page 140 common terms in Italian-English Dictionary page 192 German, French, Spanish-English Dictionary page 199 Italian, and Spanish. Cantonal Names page 206 Swiss Town Names page 207 This document is divided into seven sections. The first five sections are dictionaries of foreign-language terms found in Swiss philately together with their English equivalents – German-English, German-English abbreviations; French-English, Italian-English, and Spanish-English. Thanks go to Christoph Hertsch of Zumstein & Cie for use of excerpts from the German - English - Italian dictionary found in the Zumstein Schweiz Liechtenstein catalog, to the Germany Philatelic Society for use of excerpts from its German / English Philatelic Dictionary, 2005, and to the Philatelic Foundation for use of excerpts from its Philatelic Vocabulary in Five Languages, 1978. The format is alphabetic in the non-English language. The sixth section is a listing of the names of the cantons of Switzerland in each of the four national languages – German, French, Italian, and Romansh. For example, Grisons, Graubünden, Grigioni, and Grischun are all names of the canton in south-east Switzerland. The final section is a listing of Swiss town names that are different in German, French, or Italian. For example, the capital of Canton Valais is Sion in French and Sitten in German. It is hoped the collector with little or no knowledge of a foreign language can, by using these dictionaries, decipher at a minimum the basic catalog listings in the Zumstein catalog.
