  • Ottheinrich's View of Heidelberg
    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 5 Ottheinrich’s View of Heidelberg Figure 70 Unknown artist, View of Heidelberg. From Sebastian Münster, Cosmographia (Basel: Heinrich Petri, 1550). Woodcut, 25.3 × 70.2 cm. The view of Heidelberg (fig. 70) is a large, four-page foldout panorama of the city and Heidelberg Castle, on the banks of the river Neckar, a tributary of the Rhine. The view was not submitted by Heidelberg’s ruler, the Wittelsbach prince-elector Friedrich II of the Palatinate but by his nephew, Count Palatine of the Rhine Ottheinrich of Palatinate-Neuburg (1502–1559). Prince-elector of the Palatinate was the most prestigious office in the lineage of the counts palatine of the Rhine, held by the Wittelsbach family. Due to the division of territories among different branches of the family, by the sixteenth century younger branches held the less important office of count palatine in Simmern, Zweibrücken, Veldenz, and Neuburg. The curious discrepancy between pa- tronage and rulership in the view of Heidelberg makes this view the perfect case study for testing the validity of the ancestral mode as a category of city views. At the time of Ottheinrich’s submission, between 1547 and 1550, the re- bellious and bankrupt count lived in exile from his domains in Neuburg and could not make any territorial claims to Heidelberg. Nor did he attempt to do so in the intricate program of texts, genealogical trees, and illustrations that he submitted to the Cosmographia. Instead, Ottheinrich’s program served to advance and publicize his long-standing ancestral claim to the electorship.

  • The Heraldry of Queens' College Cambridge
    The Heraldry of Queens’ College, Cambridge By David Broomfield BA (Hons) Introduction The representations of the coat of arms of Queens’ College are many and varied. On the face of it they should be easy to agree. They were granted in 1575 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms, during his heraldic Visitation to Cambridge. According to Cooke Queen Margaret granted “unto the saide President and fellowes and their successors her armes to be used in the saide colledge as they stand depicted in this margent.” He added to Margaret’s paternal arms a border of green to differentiate those of the College from those of her family. However, the painting of the arms in the grant is in error and many of these mistakes find their way into the arms as shown in the College. The main problem in agreeing a definitive version of the College’s arms is that of reconciling different heraldic traditions. In England it is a principle that the “metals”, gold and silver, take precedence over the “colours”, blue, black, red, green and purple. This is best illustrated in the arms of Grey where the silver bar appears at the top of the shield and is then followed by blue and so forth. This is at variance with some Continental practice, for example the arms of Hungary have at the top a red band followed by silver. Also in most English arms six “bars” usually suffice but for Hungary the four silver bars are said to represent the four main rivers of Hungary. The curious agglomeration of quarterings in Margaret’s arms can be traced back to the first House of Anjou.

At the same time, interest in other German grapes, such as Pinots (Spät- burgunder, Grauburgunder, Weissburgunder), Silvaner, and Gewürztraminer, continues to grow. High time to publish this handbook to help wine enthusiasts learn more about our wines – from their beginnings 2,000 years ago to the present. Germany’s new generation of young winemakers has vision and a goal: to make some of the best white and red wines in the world. When it comes to quality and image, German wines have earned high marks, especially in recent years. Only a century ago, German Rieslings were as highly acclaimed – and as expensive – as the wines from the leading châteaux of Bordeaux.

  • The Constellations and Asterisms of Petrus Apianus (1524–1536)
    Appendix A The Constellations and Asterisms of Petrus Apianus (1524–1536) Petrus Apianus (Fig. A.1), also known as Peter Apian, Peter Bennewitz, and Peter Bienewitz, was one of the foremost mathematical publishers, instrument makers and cartographers of the sixteenth century. Born on 16 April 1495 in Leisnig, Saxony, he was one of four sons of Martin Bienewitz, a shoemaker of comfortable middle-class extraction. He was educated first at the Latin school in Rochlitz, and then from 1516 to 1519 at the University of Leipzig where he studied astronomy, mathematics, and cosmography. While at Leipzig, he Latinized his surname to “Apianus”, deriving from apis (“bee”) and equivalent to Biene in German. Apianus relocated to Vienna in 1519 to complete his degree at the University of Vienna, taking a B.A. 2 years later during an outbreak of plague. Fleeing the city, he landed first in Regensburg before settling in Landshut. He married Katharina Mosner, the daughter of a local councilman, in 1526 and by her had fourteen children. Among his sons was Philip Apianus, born 1531, who would later follow his father into the study of mathematics. Apianus was fascinated first and foremost by cosmography, a broad science of the Renaissance which set out to explain everything in the universe within a mathematical framework. He excelled in its study and later became one of its most famous practitioners; by modern standards, he can be thought of as one of the best applied mathematicians of his day. His interest in cartography was stimulated during one of the most momentous periods in European history: the Age of Exploration, witnessing the trailblazing voyages of the likes of da Gama, Columbus, and Magellan.
