University Microfilms International 300 N.Zaob Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106 INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page con be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If ncccssaiy, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.

Orendel. and Salman und Morolf - will be investigated here with respect to the economic system or systems reflected within the works. Aspects of the works to be examined in this dissertation include the occurrences of money and golden and silver objects, land ownership, the awarding of gifts or payments, and the context in which gifts and payments take place. The material has been divided into three sections under three sub-headings. Chapter Two considers the passages related to wealth; the questions concern which characters have wealth and what that wealth consists of, whether primarily land or money or costly objects. The significance of wealth in a general sense in each work is discussed. Chapter Three concentrates on one specific form of wealth, that is, money. A « treatment of money separate from other forms of wealth is justified by its great importance to economic systems as well as by the differing range of its use in these particular epics. Passages concerning money are classified according to the magnitude of amounts and the degree to which the amounts are specified in the texts; other questions involving money are considered as well. The roles which economic considerations 2 play in the relationships between characters are analyzed in the fourth chapter. The points at which payments occur are examined and placed within the context of the individual work, with the intent to discover the eoonanic patterns within which the relationships function. These aspects considered together will form a fair picture of the economic system relevant to each of the works. The economic systems in these five epics have not been investigated previously. The research for this project was undertaken on the basis of the available editions; with the exception of the Salman und Morolf edition of Kamein and the edition of the St. Oswald by Curschmann, the editions are in need of revision.^ The Konig Rother is the only one of the five epics for which there is a manuscript (H, from the late twelfth century) which comes from a time close to the original. I have used the edition of Theodor Frings and Joachim Kuhnt of 1922, which contains a diplomatic copy of H, and the fragments of other manuscripts which are 2 extant. For Herzog Ernst the edition of Karl Bartsch was used; for version B, the so-called Spielmann version which is the only version 3 this study is concerned with, the earliest manuscript is from 1441. The volume also contains editions of h, which is represented by fragments from the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, as well as the strophic version of the poem and the Volksbuch. For the remaining three epics only manuscripts and prints from the fifteenth century are extant. One cannot be certain whether the poems actually are twelfth-century products, or whether they were composed only in the fifteenth century. For St. Oswald I have used the Miinchner Oswald as edited by Michael Curschmann; his text aims at a reconstruction of the 3 fifteenth-century prototype of the extant manuscripts. An examination of the Wiener Oswald yielded no information of interest; since this study is concerned with the Spielmannsepen. the Wiener Oswald has been excluded from consideration. I have used the Orendel edited by C Hans Steinger. Also available are facsimile editions of the prints of 1512.6 The available editions of Salman und Morolf are those of Vogt and Kamein."^ Vogt's edition is based on the Stuttgart manuscript (S) and the Strassbourg print of 1499 (d)f as well as on a copy of the Eschenbach manuscript (E). On the basis of these texts Vogt attempted a reconstruction of the postulated late twelfth-century archetype. Kamein, on the other hand, did not attempt a philological reconstruction, but based his new edition exclusively on the reconstruction of the form of the text extant from the fifteenth century. Kamein had the Eschenbach manuscript itself rather than only a copy of it.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

  • DESCENDANCY of THOMAS RICARDS (B C1595) and ELIZABETH RUGELEY (B C1599)
    “All-People” {Table of Contents} Page 11c- 1 DESCENDANCY of THOMAS RICARDS (b c1595) and ELIZABETH RUGELEY (b c1599) Note 1: material in smaller type is written by Barbara Ann Fisher (BFE), wife of Karl Frederick Edler Jr (KFE), while larger type material is primarily from our family history database maintained by KFE. Note 2: names of direct ancestors of KFE are underlined. Our Ricketts lineage is one of the most interesting we've studied. Efforts to reconstruct this ambitious English/Colonial family have been difficult and frustrating -- the early generations appear hopelessly tangled! But it's been more than worthwhile -- discovering that ancestors were in Jamaica has been a special delight for KFE's sister, Elizabeth Edler Wald. Having made many vacation trips there with her husband and children, she has long felt a strong Jamaican connection. We've become fascinated as well, trying to find as much as possible. Due to constraints of time and energy, we've had to use mostly secondary sources of information. Alas, there's great variation in what different authors allege; some documents are even inconsistent internally. Trips to Jamaica and other relevant places have been intriguing, but have sometimes resulted in more questions than answers. Trying to "sanity test" the data, we've eliminated some impossible assertions. As examples, we just can't believe a son was born only seven years after his father, and we think it most unlikely that an English person was born in Jamaica over twenty years before the Anglo-Spanish War. Because of our concerns, we urge you to read this page and the next several pages for interest only.

  • Jan Županič Re–Ennoblement and Nobility Issues at the Dawn of the Austro–Hungarian Empire
    Jan Županič Re–ennoblement and nobility issues at the dawn of the Austro–Hungarian Empire Przegląd Historyczny 100/1, 1-13 2009 ROZPRAWY JAN ŻUPANIC Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozoficka fakulta Ustav svétovych dejin Re-ennoblement and nobility issues at the dawn of the Austro-Hungarian Empire* Irrespective of the fact that there lived very affluent and influential nobility in the Crown Lands of Bohemia even in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the majority of the Czech nation was in fact plebeian. Unlike the Poles and the Hungarians, the Czechs could not boast a truly numerous noble elite, and this fact had some fascinating consequences. It was the nobility from the period prior to the battle at White Mountain (Bila hora), allegedly considered purely Czech from the ethnic and language point of view that was gradually becoming more glorified than the cosmopolitan Austrian aristocracy. It was, however, the rejection of nobility as such, a phenomenon that emerged significantly for the first time in 1848 that proved to have much greater meaning. Here we need to point out that this was not a purely Czech phenomenon but rather a phenomenon that was closely linked to democratization and liberalization trends in the then society. In Austria or Austro-Hungarian Empire this trend could be attributed to other causes than just the national fragmentation of the monarchy. Throughout the ages, the nobility had become a special caste significantly differing from the rest of the population. It had a number of privileges, some of which managed to outlive 1848. One of such privileges was the right to bear coats of arms.
