Symbols play a vital part in the ideological struggles of to-day. Ever since there first arose the question of European, organisation, a large number of suggestions have more particularly been produced in its connection, some of which, despite their shortcomings, have for want of anything ;. better .been employed by various organisations and private ' individuals. A number of writers have pointed out how urgent and important it is that a symbol should be adopted, and the Secretariat-General has repeatedly been asked to provide I a description of the official emblem of the Council of Europe and has been forced to admit that no such emblem exists. Realising the importance of the matter, a number of French Members of Parliament^ have proposed in the National Assembly that the symbol of the European Movement be flown together with the national flag on public buildings. Private movements such as'the Volunteers of Europe have also been agitating for the flying of the European Movement colours on the occasion of certain French national celebrations. In Belgium the emblem of the European Movement was used during the "European Seminar of 1950" by a number of *•*: individuals, private organisations and even public institutions.

For a few centuries the emblem of Christ was a headless T-shaped Tau cross rather than a Latin cross. Elworthy considered this to originate from Pagan Druids who made Tau crosses of oak trees stripped of their branches, with two large limbs fastened at the top to represent a man's arm; this was Thau, or god. John Pearson, Bishop of Chester c. In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth, but also a transverse Beam fastened unto that towards the top thereof". There are few extant examples of the cross in 2nd century Christian iconography. It has been argued that Christians were reluctant to use it as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution. The oldest extant depiction of the execution of Jesus in any medium seems to be the second-century or early third-century relief on a jasper gemstone meant for use as an amulet, which is now in the British Museum in London. It portrays a naked bearded man whose arms are tied at the wrists by short strips to the transom of a T-shaped cross. An inscription in Greek on the obverse contains an invocation of the redeeming crucified Christ.

  • Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL
    Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL Originally published as ”Symbol,” Studia Semiotyczne 12 (1982), 125–132. Translated by Magdalena Tomaszewska. The word ”symbol” (Gr. συµβoλoν´ , Lat. symbolum) has many senses. Origi- nally, symbol was understood as an identification sign, especially one created from two pieces of one object (e.g. a ring) divided with this purpose in view. Later, it could refer to any type of signitive objects — Goclenius writes: ”Symbola accipiuntur pro indiciis significantibus animo aliquid, ut loquuntur, intimantibus.” 1 The term ”symbol” also covered certain legal acts, agreements and ritual professions of faith. This sense has survived till today in such Polish names as ”symbol apostolski” ( the Apostoles’ Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Apostolorum ), ”symbol nicejski” ( the Nicene Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Nicaenum ), ”symbol trydencki” ( the Trent Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Tridentinum ). 2 Also, contemporary semiotics offers various conceptions of symbol. There are logical and mathematical symbols in science, quality sym- bols in technology and industry, religious symbols, symbols in poetry and art, symbols and symbolism in night dreams. A number one is the symbol of truth in Boolean algebra, and the symbol of an object’s high quality in technology. However, it is also said that the Cross of Lorraine became the symbol of the Resistance in France, while a skeleton has been a symbol of death for ages. There are symbols that are emotionally neutral (introduced 1Lexicon Philosophicum Graecum , Marchioburgi 1615: 215. 2The relationship between this

  • The Merovingian Dynasty with Their King Dagobert II Presents An
    On an article by Tracy R Twyman To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. The Merovingian dynasty with their king Dagobert II presents an important spiritual link between Jesus Christ and the Cathar endeavour to restore genuine Christianity a few centuries later. The history of the Merovingian dynasty spans the history of human kind. Just as the dynasty was at the shaping of World’ events, so World’s events shaped the dynasty’s fate. The first phase of humanity has concluded and the Merovingian story stands as the archetype of societal evolution reflected through a significant blood line. The Cathar Testament explains the principles in theory, whilst focusing on the Soul. Using an article by Tracy R. Twyman, I have pinpointed some of the pivotal stages against the Merovingian story traced through legends from the times of Atlantis. My comments do not represent the views of Tracy R Twyman. The adaptation is a working tool for students of the Cathar Testament. My comments are in brackets. To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. Corascendea 17.03.2013. The Myth: The Frankish King Dagobert II, and the Merovingian dynasty from which he came, have been romantically mythologized in the annals of both legend and mystical pseudo-history. The mystique that surrounds them includes attributions of divine origin from Atlantis. They were described as the descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, while legends talk of their powers, even of the magical powers of their regalia. The Merovingian race originated with a civilization far more ancient than recorded history, from which came all of the major arts and sciences.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming.
