  • The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Volume V by Edward Gibbon
    HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE By Edward Gibbon VOLUME V This is volume five of the six volumes of Edward Gibbon's History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire. I will be scanning and putting out on the net the remaining volumes as I find time to do this. So have patience. If you find any errors please feel free to notify me of them. I want to make this the best etext edition possible for both scholars and the general public. [email protected] and [email protected] are my email addresses for now. Please feel free to send me your comments and I hope you enjoy this. David Reed History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Edward Gibbon, Esq. With notes by the Rev. H. H. Milman Vol. 5 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised) Chapter XLIX: Conquest Of Italy By The Franks. Part I. Introduction, Worship, And Persecution Of Images. - Revolt Of Italy And Rome. - Temporal Dominion Of The Popes. - Conquest Of Italy By The Franks. - Establishment Of Images. - Character And Coronation Of Charlemagne. - Restoration And Decay Of The Roman Empire In The West. - Independence Of Italy. - Constitution Of The Germanic Body. In the connection of the church and state, I have considered the former as subservient only, and relative, to the latter; a salutary maxim, if in fact, as well as in narrative, it had ever been held sacred. The Oriental philosophy of the Gnostics, the dark abyss of predestination and grace, and the strange transformation of the Eucharist from the sign to the substance of Christ's body, ^1 I have purposely abandoned to the curiosity of speculative divines.

  • CASINO from NOWHERE, to VAGUELY EVERYWHERE Franco Pratesi - 09.10.1994
    CASINO FROM NOWHERE, TO VAGUELY EVERYWHERE Franco Pratesi - 09.10.1994 “Fishing games form a rich hunting ground for researchers in quest of challenge”, David Parlett writes in one of his fine books. (1) I am not certain that I am a card researcher, and I doubt the rich hunting-ground too. It is several years since I began collecting information on these games, without noticeable improvements in my knowledge of their historical development. Therefore I would be glad if some IPCS member could provide specific information. Particularly useful would be descriptions of regional variants of fishing games which have − or have had − a traditional character. Within the general challenge mentioned, I have encountered an unexpected specific challenge: the origin of Casino, always said to be of Italian origin, whereas I have not yet been able to trace it here. So it appears to me, that until now, it is a game widespread from nowhere in Italy. THE NAME As we know, even the correct spelling of the name is in dispute. The reason for writing Cassino is said to be a printing mistake in one of the early descriptions. The most probable origin is from the same Italian word casino, which entered the English vocabulary to mean “a pleasure-house”, “a public room used for social meetings” and finally “a public gambling-house”. So the name of the game would better be written Casino, as it was spelled in the earliest English descriptions (and also in German) towards the end of the 18th century. If the origin has to be considered − and assuming that information about further uses of Italian Casino is not needed − it may be noted that Italian Cassino does exist too: it is a word seldom used and its main meaning of ‘box-cart’ hardly has any relevance to our topic.

  • The History of Playing Cards
    tv THE HISTORY PLAYING CARDS, WITH guttcimits of ijjtir xtst in CONJURING, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND CARD-SHARPING. Ike. hlsiov. EDITED BT THE LATE Rev. Ed. S. TAYLOR, B.A. AND OTHERS. LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.

Vous connaissez la toilette de la Reine, la messe, le dîner, mais il n’est plus besoin de se faire étouffer, pendant que Leurs Majestés sont à table, car, à trois heures, le Roi, la Reine, Monsieur, Madame, Mademoiselle, tout ce qu’il y a de princes et princesses, madame de Montespan, toute sa suite, tous les courtisans, toutes les dames, enfin ce qui s’appelle la cour de France, se trouve dans ce bel appartement du Roi que vous connaissez. Tout est meublé divinement, tout est magnifique. On ne sait ce que c’est que d’y avoir chaud ; on passe d’un lieu à l’autre sans faire la presse nulle part : un jeu de reversi donne la forme et fixe tout. C’est le Roi (et Mme de Montespan tient la carte) ; Monsieur, la Reine et madame de Soubise ; M. de Dangeau et compagnie, Langlée et compagnie. Mille louis sont répandus sur le tapis ; il n’y a point d’autres jetons. Je voyais jouer Dangeau, et j’admirais combien nous sommes sots auprès de lui. Il ne songe qu’à son affaire et gagne où les autres perdent. Il ne néglige rien, il profite de tout, il n’est point distrait ; en un mot sa bonne conduite défie la fortune.
