Please contact the Shipping Department for further details INFORMATION FOR EXPORT AGENTS (AND THEIR CLIENTS) Greg Morley-Smith ([email protected], telephone: +44 (0)1306 628067) is responsible for controlling Holt’s imports and exports. Lots marked * or ** are imported items and must be exported under Customs Procedure Code 3153000. In order for buyers to be refunded import VAT and VAT on the buyer’s premium (and not to be charged Customs duty) the following practice must please be followed: The import entry number (which will be supplied by Mr Morley-Smith) has to be quoted on the Export Declaration. Further, the Declaration must show Holt’s Auctioneers Ltd as the exporter and Holt’s VAT number (731841346000). If the goods require an Export Licence, then Holt’s own Open General Export Licence (copy available on request) must be used. Exports have to take place within 30 days of payment – if this is not possible please contact Mr Morley-Smith who will apply to HMRC for an extension of time (up to 2 years from the date of import). Finally, Holt’s goods must be declared separately if they are being shipped with goods from other suppliers. If an agent/buyer does not wish to export under Holt’s Licence and VAT number then no VAT will be refunded and the agent/buyer will be responsible for the duty. In this instance, Holt’s goods do not have to be declared separately. All non-imported items can be exported under Customs Procedure Code CPC10000001, but again, in order for the VAT on the buyer’s premium to be refunded, Holt’s VAT number and Open Licence must be used and the goods must be declared separately if they are being shipped with goods from other suppliers.

  • Dansksproget Digtning Under Frederik II Side 2 Af 16
    D ANSKSPROGET DIGTNING UNDER F REDERIK II Af Flemming Lundgreen-Nielsen Late medieval Catholic poetry and Lutheran pamphlets had made up the bulk of the printed matter that was published in Denmark before 1559. Under Frederik II an artistically valuable secular Danish literature slowly came into being, written by parsons, historians and teachers. Generally combining respect for the culture of ancient Rome and Greece with an eagerness to further Lutheranism, they unfortunately lacked a contemporary poetical idiom and therefore stuck to traditional stylistic devices and old- fashioned medieval metres considered outdated abroad. Anders Sørensen Vedel’s Danish translation of Saxo’s Gesta Danorum (1575) featured prominently, as did his anthology of 100 medieval popular ballads (1591), commissioned by two consecutive chancellors and by the queen respectively. Frederik II hentede gerne dygtige udlændinge til Danmark for at bibringe riget den moderne europæiske renæssances normer – i arkitektur og musik og til organisering af hoflivet. Det kunne han selvsagt ikke gøre, når det drejede sig om dansksproget digtning. Den måtte graves ud af fødelandets egen jord, ressourcerne var indskrænket til hans egne uddannede og dannede undersåtter. Baggrund I 1495 udkom Then danskæ Krønnickæ (oftest kaldt Rimkrøniken) som den første bog på dansk, der også var trykt i Danmark.1 Det er en middelalderlig tekst med uvis oprindelse, som formentlig foreligger redigeret sammen fra 1430’rne, måske ved en broder Niels i Sorø. Værket tjener med sin lange række tilbageskuende monologer af danske konger et nationalhistorisk formål som versificeret lærebog for regenter og deres undersåtter, altså den genre, der hedder speculum regale (Kongespejl). I indledende verslinjer og opsummerende karakteristikker indsættes kristelig moralisme til understregning af, hvor ilde det går konger, som ringeagter kirker, klostre og gejstligheden.

  • Petersen 2019. the Development of Complex Predicates from Old
    The Development of Complex Predicates 131 KATHRINE tHISTED PETERSEN The development of Complex Predicates from Old danish to Modern danish a diachronic survey of the Connection between Case, Bare nouns, and stress Pattern Petersen, K. Thisted, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Communication and Culture, Scandinavian Studies, Aarhus University. “The Development of Complex Predicates from Old Danish to Modern Danish. A Diachronic Survey of the Connection between Case, Bare Nouns, and Stress Pattern”. ANF 134 (2019), pp. 131–191. Abstract: This study describes the development of complex predicates from Early Middle Danish (ca. 1100–ca. 1350) through Late Middle Danish (ca. 1350–ca. 1525) and Early Mod- ern Danish (ca. 1525–ca. 1700) to Modern Danish (post-1700) as a change from an unmarked to a marked mode of expression. In Modern Danish, the characteristic features of complex predicates such as bage kage ‘to bake a cake’ are the unit accentuation between the un- stressed verb and the stressed noun and the bare form of the noun, marking the combinations as lexically fixed expressions with non-referential complements. Since stress markers are ab- sent from Old Danish (ca. 800–ca. 1525) texts, we are unable to tell whether unstressed verbs were also a clear characteristic of complex predicates during this period. However, topologi- cal factors make the usage of unit accentuation between verbs and non-referential comple- ments in most of the period unlikely. Considering the fact that words in the final position of a syntactic accentual sequence are normally stressed to a greater or lesser extent (Rischel 1983; Jacobs 1999; Basbøll 2005; Grønnum 2009; Petersen 2010), the presence of OV word order in Old Danish texts with the complement in a preverbal position presumably rules out the usage of unit accentuation in spoken language.

  • Plague and Plague Policies in Early Modem Denmark
    Medical History, 2003, 47: 413-450 "In These Perilous Times": Plague and Plague Policies in Early Modem Denmark PETER CHRISTENSEN* Plague has long since disappeared from Denmark. Why it did so remains a puzzle and is one of the themes of this article. More recently, and almost as puzzling, plague has also disappeared from Danish historiography. In the works of eighteenth-century historians the Black Death was described in considerable, if often imaginative, detail and the recurring plague outbreaks were mentioned regularly.' By the late nineteenth century this was no longer the case. The terrible mortality still guaranteed the Black Death a few lines in the history books, but there was practically no discussion ofthe causes nor ofthe possible short or long-term consequences. The rest ofthe plague cycle was almost completely ignored with the exception of the well-documented, but also isolated, 1711 outbreak in Copenhagen.2 The reason for this revision must be sought in the rise ofmodem historical scholarship in Denmark in the late nineteenth century. As in other countries, history had until then been the preserve of so-called antiquarians who had uncritically paraphrased chronicles and annals, sources which modem critical examination has proved to be biased, inaccurate and unreli- able. Now an emerging group of professional, academic historians, most of them mediev- alists incidentally, argued that henceforward the study of history should be based on solid, objective archival materials such as parish registers, laws, estate accounts, cadastral surveys, minutes, etc. Unfortunately, the sources relevant to the Black Death were sparse * Dr Peter Christensen, Department of History, ' For example, P F Suhm, Historie afDanmark, 14 University of Copenhagen, Njalsgade 102-2300 vols, Copenhagen, 1782-1828, vol.

  • Danish Post-Reformation Crusaders: Jerusalem and Crusading in Denmark C.1550–1650
    Janus Møller Jensen Chapter 11 Danish Post-Reformation Crusaders: Jerusalem and Crusading in Denmark c.1550–1650 This chapter investigates some of the motives of the Danish nobles who visited Jerusalem after the Reformation roughly in the period 1555–1650. It will demonstrate how several elements of the medieval crusade continued as part of the royal and na- tional ideology, as well as part of the ideals and religious life of Protestant knighthood. It analyses the travel accounts, crusade literature, knightly orders, and expressions of national crusading ideology, which form an important background and context for un- derstanding the continued travels of the nobility to Jerusalem. In 1684 the Danish statesman and jurist Peder Hansen Resen (1625–88) published Erik Krabbe’s(1510–64) sixteenth-century German translation of the old Danish law- collection Law of Jutland from the thirteenth century. In the preface he wrote about various subjects. Among others, he described how his brother, Dr Poul Resen (d. 1657), went on a journey to Constantinople and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. When he reached the Franciscan monastery on Mount Zion, he was very well received and the monks played music for him. They believed him to be fond of music because he carried a fiddle with him. In the evening, when Poul Resen went to bed, he was placed in a room on the door of which was carved four letters and then “Ottho Schram Danus 1599.” Poul Resen had promised to write more of this when he reached Cairo, but un- fortunately, he died on the way from the Holy Sepulchre to Cairo in 1657.
