Learned Camden ( who addicted himfelf ¿¿Heraldry in his latter years) was fo out of conceit with their Terms (being for the moft part barbarous) that in his Patents (which were always Latine) when he came to the Defcription of the Arms themfelves, he made ¿¿French. And in his Britannia, where he now and then mentions a Coat, he follows"a Stile and Method of his own. From him, Chiffle- tius, and Vredus (a Learned Civilian) I principally ( though not wholly) have had my helps, and their particular THafons I have armext at the end of my Alphabetical Heads: where "they are wanting (for they meddle no further , than as the T )if tourfe they are uponf occafions the mention of an Armorial Bear­ ing) I have (quoad potui) fapplied my fe lf: And verily (as to the main) have done fo much, that the mof material and ufml Terms are not omitted, but handled.

  • Contemporary Flags of the Ukrainian Regions: Old Traditions and New Designs
    Contemporary flags of the Ukrainian regions: Old traditions and new designs Andriy Grechylo Abstract Ukraine consists of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and 24 oblasts (regions or provinces). The new law on local self-governments, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine in 1997, allowed local authorities to confirm the coats of arms, flags, and other symbols of oblasts, rayons (districts), cities, towns, and villages. Over the last six years, all oblasts have adopted their own symbols. Most of them have already adopted regional flags. Many of these flags have old historical signs and colours (Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, etc.), but some oblasts have chosen new designs (Donetsk, Cherkasy, Kherson, and others). Ukraine is divided into 25 administrative territories — 24 oblasts (provinces or re- gions) and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Two cities, Kyiv and Sevastopol, have a special, national status. The oblast borders have remained unchanged since 1959, when Drohobych oblast was joined to the Lviv oblast (Fig. 1). After the disintegration of the Ruthenian Kingdom (Galician-Volynian State) in the middle of the 14th c., the Ukrainian lands were divided among various neighbour- ing countries. During this time the arms of separate administrative territories were used. When Ukraine was absorbed into the USSR, none of the oblasts possessed their own arms or flag. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of Ukrainian independence did a process of the formation of symbols of administrative territories begin. The first regional coat of arms was ratified for the Transcarpathian (Zakarpattya) oblast in December 1990. In 1992 the symbols of Crimea, which received the status of an autonomous republic, were adopted.

  • Greek Devotional Images: Iconography and Interpretation in the Religious Arts
    Greek Devotional Images: Iconography and Interpretation in the Religious Arts DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine A. Rask Graduate Program in History of Art The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Mark D. Fullerton, Adviser Timothy J. McNiven Sarah Iles Johnston Hugh B. Urban Copyright by Katherine A. Rask 2012 Abstract This dissertation concerns the uses of iconography, visual culture, and material culture in the study of Greek religion. I draw on methods and theoretical frameworks from outside the discipline in order contextualize the study of images and symbols in larger discourses and to introduce the most recent developments in scholarship. To better understand the religious aspects of Greek experience, this dissertation presents a mixture of intellectual history, historiography, and methodological critique. I provide an interdisciplinary overview of symbol theory and approaches to signs, the deep-seated interweaving of theological and artistic concerns in occultist traditions and 19th century scholarship, and iconographic methodologies employed by Classical studies and archaeology. Several themes repeatedly appear throughout the discussion, including the theoretical relationships between material culture and religion and the perceived dichotomy between phenomenological responses and interpretation. By exploring these topics, it becomes clear that approaches to religion in ancient Greece need to be adapted to better account for visual and material culture. Despite most emphasis on public, ritual-centered aspects, images and objects attest to private encounters with divinities. Based on comparative analysis, I argue that the religious experience of ancient Greeks exhibits many elements of devotionalism, a religious phenomenon developed by Robert Orsi.

  • ANATOMICAL WORD ROOTS Appendix I
    Learning Assistance Center University of Hawaii at Manoa ANATOMICAL WORD ROOTS Appendix I When studying anatomy for the first time, many students are confronted with numerous unfamiliar terms that must be mastered, because effective communication requires their use. Some understanding of the derivation of anatomical terms from their classical origins will help to fix their meanings and spelling in mind. The following list is a sampling of the more important word roots used in anatomy, and of the Greek (GK) and Latin (L.) from which they have been derived. Usually only the nominative singular is given for a noun, but the genitive (gen.), nomitive plural (pl.), or diminutive (dim.) is included if sufficiently different or if it has formed the past participle (p.p.), is needed to recognized the root. Most of the examples cited are anatomical structure, but major groups of organisms mention in the book are included, and often a common word is cited to help fix the root in mind. This list of roots is far from inclusive; most familiar words for which the classical and the modern term and meaning are very similar have been omitted; e.g., auditory, cardiac, humerus, pharynx, ulna. Those whose appetites are whetted should consult standard dictionaries or such references as Jaeger (1955) for further study. a – Gr.a or an-, prefix meaning without, not. (agnatha, anapsid) ab – L.ab-, prefix meaning away from. (Abduction) abdom – L.abdomen, abdomen (probably from abdo, to canceal). (Abdomen, Abdominal) acanth – Gr. Akantha, spine, thorn, (Acanthodii) acetabul – L.acetabulum, vinegar cup (from acetum, vinegar). (Acetabulum) acro – Gr.akros, topmost, extreme.
