We doen dit in dankbare herinnering aan wijlen Theo Veen, die het initiatief nam voor een Nederlands- Belgische periodiek over ons geliefde vakgebied. In de afgelopen vijftien jaren namen we afscheid van enkele rechtshistorici coryfeeën. Onder meer dankzij de interviews in Pro Me- morie zijn ze niet slechts namen boven wetenschappelijke artikelen gebleven, maar gepas- sioneerde mensen van vlees en bloed. In dit nummer leest u onder meer het levensbericht (en een aanvulling op zijn bibliografie van 1988) van Tom de Smidt, die ons in 2013 verliet. Hij was zonder twijfel één van de meest inspirerende onderzoekers en tegelijk een warme collega. Het zou collega De Smidt bijzonder genoegen gedaan hebben vast te stellen dat de rechtsgeschiedenis vandaag meer dan ooit springlevend is, onder meer dankzij de Neder- lands-Belgische rechtshistorische dagen, waarvoor hij jaren geleden, samen met Piet Ger- benzon en Jan Van

Quality of learning and teaching environment The School has been rated Gold in the recent Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF3). This is testament to the commitment of all of our staff, both academic and administrative, who have worked extremely hard continuously to improve elements of our teaching and learning environment. In its statement about awarding Guildhall its highest possible rating, the Office for Students, noted that ‘continuation rates are consistent with the provider’s benchmark, that progression to highly skilled employment or further study is outstanding and that student satisfaction with academic support is exceptionally high and above the provider’s benchmark.’ The TEF panel noted the high contact hours and intensive one-to-one tuition Guildhall students receive, the personalised nature of learning, strong student representation and engagement, and outstanding physical and digital resources, as well as Guildhall’s strategic commitment to attracting students from diverse backgrounds. This award came in the same week that Guildhall was ranked as the UK’s top conservatoire in the Guardian’s University Guide 2019 for Music, and third among all UK higher education institutions for Music. We have now received confirmation of the success of our PIP bid to the City Corporation for £150K to support a new initiative within Production Arts. Our Multimedia Business Unit - Video Projection Mapping proposal was well received by the recent Resource and Allocation Sub Committee on July 5. The School continues to have critical success in the area of video mapping and live events and this funding will allow us to build on this success and transform our ability to offer more professional opportunities to students in these expanding areas of industry practice.

The Herrings and the First Great Combine PART II The Hanseatic League in England By Walter Mucklow The Site From the earliest times the German merchants had a depot behind Cannon street station, near the foot of the narrow Dow­ gate hill bordering the west side of the station. Apparently this neighborhood had for centuries been a centre of activities, for in few London streets have there been found more Roman remains than in Thames street, along a part of which ran the old Roman river wall, built on oak piles, overlaid by a stratum of chalk and stone and covered with hewn sandstone set in cement. In places this wall is twenty feet thick and some of the beams were 18 inches square. The Easterlings, as the early German merchants were called, first settled here and occupied the Hall of the Easterlings: later the merchants of Cologne held a part of Dowgate: and subse­ quently these two united, being then known as the “Merchants of Almaigne” and owned the “Dutch Guildhall.” The site was important, for in early times Dowgate was the only city gate opening to the river; therefore, it controlled foreign traffic and was of great value to the Germans in their efforts to govern this important business.

  • Studying Language and Translation Policies in Belgium: What Can We Learn from a Complexity Theory Approach?
    Studying language and translation policies in Belgium: What can we learn from a complexity theory approach? Reine Meylaerts KU Leuven and University of the Free State Abstract Since the European democratization processes of the long 19th century, the very core of the legal and political potential to act as a citizen was formed by communicative resources. Communication between authorities and citizens through one (or more) national language(s) thus became of the utmost importance. That is why, studying language and translation policies is crucial to understand the role of language and translation in the construction of democratic citizenship. This article analyzes the role of language and translation policies for the construction and evolution of democratic citizenship in multilingual Belgium based on the insights of complexity theory. If we really want to understand if, how, and when authorities and citizens were able to communicate with each other in 19th-century Belgium (and elsewhere), we have to deal with a myriad of sometimes contradictory and unequally applied language and translation rules, practices and beliefs. We therefore need to study processes of interaction that enable us to understand the complex and paradoxical relations between society and individual, between the local and the central/global, between agency and structure, between translation and non-translation, between official and unofficial translation, between translation and other transfer processes. We need to study translation as an emergent phenomenon, constitutive of social reality. Keywords Translation policy, language policy, Belgium, 19th century, complexity theory Parallèles – numéro 29(1), avril 2017 DOI 10.17462/para.2017.01.05 Reine Meylaerts Studying Language and translation policies in Belgium: What can we learn from a complexity theory approach? 1.

  • Envy of Kings: the Guildhall of London and the Power of the Medieval Corporation Transcript
    Envy of Kings: The Guildhall of London and the Power of the Medieval Corporation Transcript Date: Wednesday, 18 November 2015 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 18 November 2015 Envy of Kings: The Guildhall of London and the Power of the Medieval Corporation Professor Simon Thurley There are very few secular buildings in England that after 600 years are still used for broadly speaking their original purpose. This, ladies and gentlemen, is one of them. Although it was started in 1411, it incorporated parts of two previous guildhalls, the first one dating back to the 1120s. This first Guildhall probably looked a little like the great Hall of Oakham castle in Rutland built in the 1180s a rare surviving early hall and this is the fine reconstruction of it and its surroundings published by MoLAS in 2007. It was while this building was standing that the city's powers were crystallized and it won its treasured judicial and political privileges from the Crown as well as its first Mayor. I am not going to dwell on this tonight for the story that I want to focus on starts in 1298 as it was probably then that the idea to create a new civic centre was hatched. The initial impetus may have been to build a civic chapel but by 1330s there was also the intention to rebuild the Guildhall. This needed a wealthy sponsor and it is likely to have found it in Sir John Pulteney, a financier who, thanks to a shrewd financial nose, became one of the richest men in England.

  • Painted Wood: History and Conservation
    PART TWO Historical Perspectives 82 Support and Polychromy of Altarpieces from Brussels, Mechlin, and Antwerp Study, Comparison, and Restoration Myriam Serck-Dewaide , comprising painted and sculpted ele- ments (really pieces of liturgical furniture) had already appeared in Cgreat number by the middle of the fourteenth century in different regions. They functioned at this time as tabernacles,1 and cupboards for relics and for individual figures of saints and narrative scenes. Gilded archi- tectural elements, baldachins,2 and rhythmic colonnettes strictly compart- mentalized the space. The painted wings served to close these “cases,” revealing the figures to the faithful only on feast days. Altarpieces were popular throughout Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The regional workshops—for example, Germanic, Franco-Flemish, Spanish, and Italian—evolved differently, varying the dimensions, space, perspective, lighting, and polychromy of the altarpieces (Skubiszewski 1989). Only altarpieces from the historic Brabant region3 are considered here—in particular, the sculpted parts of these Brabantine altarpieces. In the fifteenth century, Brabantine altarpieces evolved toward a more realis- tic expression and a more accentuated relief. Compositions were grouped in successive arrangement, presenting scenes of small characters, related as in a theatrical setting. Over time, the architecture changed, reducing in size, until eventually there was no more than a frame presenting scenes consecrated to the Virgin, to the lives of the saints, or to cycles of the infancy and Passion of Christ. This evolution progressed very slowly dur- ing the mid–sixteenth century, from late Gothic decoration to Renaissance motifs. From the second half of the fifteenth century, Brabantine altar- pieces became so successful that, in order to satisfy the demand, a division of labor became necessary.

  • The Practice of Philology in the Nineteenth-Century Netherlands
    HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND SCHOLARSHIP IN THE NETHERLANDS HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND SCHOLARSHIP IN THE NETHERLANDS Edited by Van Kalmthout & Zuidervaart Van by Edited This volume offers a new perspective on the development of philology in Dutch scholarly culture of the nineteenth century. Until that period, this field of the humanities had far reaching implications on disciplines such as theology, chronology, astronomy, history, law and other domains of knowledge. Several fundamental changes occurred during the nineteenth century. Texts in the vernacular and national perspectives attracted attention; comparative approaches were introduced and several subfields grew into more-or-less independent (sub)disciplines in the humanities. This complex, but fascinating process of differentiation, specialization and professionalization redesigned the landscape of philology radically. Ton van Kalmthout and Huib Zuidervaart are senior researchers at the Huygens Institute of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Science in The Hague.
