Diana Zhu 21M.220 Fall 2011 Professor Cuthbert Glaser Codex – Folio 101 Diana Zhu 21M.220 Fall 2011 Professor Cuthbert Glaser Codex – Folio 101 The study of folio 101 of the Glaser Codex was accomplished with the collaboration of Allison Simi who studied f. 97. F.101 includes the end of the Communion of the Mass “Os Iusti,” the Common of a Confessor not a Bishop, and the Antiphon of the Introitus for Saint Clement, Pope and Martyr. The Common of a Confessor not a Bishop was a Proper of the Mass. Saint Clement was the patron saint for metalworkers, tanners, and mariners, as he was a tanner in his original life and was martyred by drowning. Part of the Proper, the Introitus for Saint Clement, Pope and Martyr was sung in celebration of St. Clement’s feast day on November 23. The very end of the Communion of the Common of a Confessor not a Bishop Mass can be seen on f.101r (left). The presence of the Communion indicates this Mass was likely sung after Catholic Advent, when many of the old parts of the Mass (Vespers and Compline; Matins and Lauds; Mass) were relabeled (Evensong; Matins; Communion). It originally had the same form as the Introit, with the same psalm and different antiphons, but was reduced to the antiphon only by the twelfth century (Hoppin 125). They were characteristically short and simple, with some including a few melismas (Hoppin 126). The final chant of the Proper of the Mass, it would have been sung during the distribution of the Eucharist during the Roman Catholic masses. The text on f.101r reads as follows: ‘vigilantem amen dico vobis, super omnia bona sua constitue teum’, or, ‘watching: amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods’ . This Communion can be found on page 1397 of the Liber Usualis as well as in the Bible in Matthew 24:46–47 1. The music begins in the F clef, marked by a middle dot indicating the F and two 1 flanking dots (right, 1), then moves to the C clef in the second staff of f.101r with two dots flanking the C (right, 2). 2 Vi gi lan tem amen di co vo bis sup er om nia bo na Su a con sti tue te um The music is mainly neumatic, with some longer melismas at the end of the chant. This folio is notably more well-worn than many of the other pages of the codex. The entire folio 1 looks older and more worn than folio 97, and is considerably thinner from scraping/erasing in various areas as well. F101v 2 especially appears to have been scraped over at least once, with faded letters and notes that do not match with the text on f101r. In the example on f101v to the right, there is a faded custos (1) that must have been previously made and scraped away, as f101r has the clef (2, visible through the page) beginning that line and no further notes or symbols preceding the clef. The skin underneath the text looks and feels thinner and more fragile than the borders of the rest of the page. The ink has also had an effect on the skin; about five [spell out isolated numbers under 100] letters are extremely eaten away along the first staff Worn away letter (right). The damage is extensive at the start of the first staff on the recto and the end of the first staff on the verso; those letters are torn away and illegible. Another nine or ten letters have holes faded through the skin along the second and last (fifth) staff on f.101r. The thinness of the skin from the scraped away text could be responsible for this eating of the ink through the skin; by contrast, f. 97 with its clean text and normally thick skin has no ink eating through the notes and text. This folio is 57cm wide by 82cm tall. There is a portion on the left side of the recto that appears to be part of the binding for this page. This area is more yellow and thicker than the rest of the page, appearing to be a strip of skin ~1.5cm wide glued on the left edge. There are small pin- holes 1-2mm in diameter scattered along this strip (not visible in pictures). A few of these holes are spaced almost exactly 5cm apart along the binding; these holes happen to match up with the holes in f. 97, indicating these holes were likely used for the binding itself or holding the pages together while the glue set. There are a few other holes in f. 101 that are close to those matching holes but not quite; perhaps these holes were made by mistake or were used for binding the original music on the page that was scraped away for the current chants. 1. New number The number .CJ. at the top, written in red ink, appears to be on top of a longer, scraped-off number. The first period, the “C”, and the very last 2. Old number period are in a lighter red ink than the added “J.”, which has a darker, more maroon-colored ink (right, 1). The old number took up about twice the area of the current number, and the period that ended the number is still there (right, 2), as perhaps the author wanted to reuse the period for the rewritten number. The original number was likely a long number beginning with “C”. There are five red staves on f.101r,v. The dimensions are remarkably consistent; the staves all start either 6cm from the left edge on the face page [recto, etc. throughout] and 12.5cm from the left edge of the back page. They also end consistently, 12 cm from the right edge on the face page and 5.5 cm from the right edge on the back page. The staves on the front and back actually match up through the skin. There appears to be a faint black ink outline of a rectangle around the perimeter of all 5 staves that matches on both sides; perhaps there was an outline used for both the front and back. Each staff line is remarkably straight, hinting at the use of a straight-edge; however, the distance between each staff varies slightly, which could rule out a 5-pronged straightedge such as a rastrum and likely means each staff line was drawn individually. The rest of the chant beginning on f.101r and continuing on f.101v is an Introitus, which is the chant that accompanies the priests and abbots into the church at the start of Mass (right). The red text immediately preceding the start of the chant, marked by the elaborate and large D, indicates the beginning of the Introitus of the chant for Saint Clements. However, the chant immediately preceding the Introit does not appear to be the antiphon for the chant. It is possible that the antiphon was originally written on this page, then scraped away to make room for the Introit itself. This could be attributable to the shortening of the Introit psalm during the eighth and ninth centuries when churches began singing the Introit after the priest had already proceeded to the altar (Hoppin, 1 123). There is a notable yellow vertical line about 6mm thick that has been drawn on the fifth staff (left, 1). This line most likely indicates the division between cantor and choir, which usually occurs near the beginning of a chant. This Introitus can be found on page 1758 of the Liber Usualis. The text of the Introitus on f. 101r,v is as follows: “Dicit Dominus: Sermones mei, quos dedi in os tuum, non deficient de ore tuo et munera tua accepta erunt” ‘Lord said, My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, and your gifts will be accepted’ Di cit do mi nus | Se mon nes me I quos de di in os Tu um non de fi ci ent de o re Tu o et mu ne ra tu a ac cep ta e runt A more detailed study would be beneficial to establish when this folio was created and the difference between the face page and the back page. DNA analysis of the skin of f.101r,v especially, including the binding, could give details about the age of the old and new text, and carbon dating of the skin and ink could reveal the differences between the worn-out f.101 and the other folios of the codex.

  • Forward and Backward Private Searchable Encryption from Constrained Cryptographic Primitives
    Forward and Backward Private Searchable Encryption from Constrained Cryptographic Primitives Raphael Bost∗ Brice Minaudy Olga Ohrimenkoz Abstract Using dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption, a user with limited storage resources can securely outsource a database to an untrusted server, in such a way that the database can still be searched and updated efficiently. For these schemes, it would be desirable that updates do not reveal any information a priori about the modifications they carry out, and that deleted results remain inaccessible to the server a posteriori. If the first property, called forward privacy, has been the main motivation of recent works, the second one, backward privacy, has been overlooked. In this paper, we study for the first time the notion of backward privacy for searchable encryption. After giving formal definitions for different flavors of backward privacy, we present several schemes achieving both forward and backward privacy, with various efficiency trade-offs. Our constructions crucially rely on primitives such as constrained pseudo-random functions and punc- turable encryption schemes. Using these advanced cryptographic primitives allows for a fine-grained control of the power of the adversary, preventing her from evaluating functions on selected inputs, or de- crypting specific ciphertexts. In turn, this high degree of control allows our SSE constructions to achieve the stronger forms of privacy outlined above. As an example, we present a framework to construct forward-private schemes from range-constrained pseudo-random functions. Finally, we provide experimental results for implementations of our schemes, and study their practical efficiency. 1 Introduction Symmetric Searchable Encryption (SSE) enables a client to outsource the storage of private data to an untrusted server, while retaining the ability to issue search queries over the outsourced data.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

Deutsch, Co-Chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-Chair T.S. Eliot viewed Hamlet as a dramatic failure, because “like the sonnets, it is full of some stuff that the writer could not drag to light.” C.S. Lewis, Harold Bloom, and Alexander Shurbanov agree that the play contains a lyric essence, but they do not trace that essence to its source. “Treason in My Breast” argues that Hamlet is a Petrarchan poem, a more fully realized expression of the Italian poet’s influence than Shakespeare’s Sonnets or Romeo and Juliet. Out of this argument emerges a poetic anthropology of the early modern Human: beginning in Petrarch’s poetry, reaching its apex in Hamlet, terminating in the poems of Jonathan Swift. After explicating in the Introduction the most explicitly Petrarchan document in Hamlet—the II.ii letter-poem from the Prince to Ophelia—Chapter One explores the ii letter-poem’s philologically vexed “etcetera” moment, represented in the Second Quarto of the play as an ampersand, a ligatory symbol invented by Cicero’s slave and secretary Tiro.

  • II JANUS Looking Back
    Looking Back An Interim Minister needs to discover the role of prior clergy, members who are ministers or long to be, movers and shakers, key players, and the people with power. Some of these will be active in a congregation. Others will exert strong influence, quietly, in a non-public way. Try asking congregants who the three most important people in the congregation were and who the three most important people are now. Pay attention to those whose names come up over and over again! You’ll want to learn about your congregation’s relationships with: neighboring congregations the district the UUA the larger community, neighborhood, city, or town itself, its family system, and its ways of doing things Get “the facts,” as widely interpreted as possible. Talk to pastors of nearby churches. Talk to the District Executive and/or Program Consultant. Ask the UUA for a membership profile for the last ten–or twenty!–years. John Weston has described the role of an interim minister on arrival as something between a detective and an anthropologist. Interim work requires deep listening, sturdy trust, commitment to the process of learning and growing, and explicit recognition and honoring of the congregational community. Arrive with a voracious curiosity. Ask wise questions with your mind and with all your senses wide open, with no “shoulds” attached. Be a sponge, absorb all the information you can gather. Keep a copy of Lyle Shaller’s The Interventionist handy for cues and insights. As you begin your interim work, stay constantly alert for systems and patterns in the congregation’s activities and history.

  • Roman Images of Diana Bettina Bergmann Mount Holyoke College
    ! "! A Double Triple Play: Roman Images of Diana Bettina Bergmann Mount Holyoke College John Miller’s study of Augustan Apollo inspired me to return to Paul Zanker’s The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus (1988), a book that demonstrated the immense potential of an interdisciplinary approach rather than exclusive focus on any one artistic mode. Nearly a quarter of a century later, this session continues to grapple with the challenges of interdisciplinarity and assessment of the Augustan era. Miller’s subtle analysis of poets’ intricate language invites a renewed consideration of the relationships among texts, sites, and images. The operations that he describes -- conflating, juxtaposing, allusion, correspondence, association – can be related directly to the analysis of topography and monuments as well. I also would like to extend his recommendation to “analyze variations in light of one another” and consider visual images of an elusive figure in his book, the divine twin Diana. The goddess appears, often as an afterthought, literally placed in parentheses after a mention of Apollo, until she assumes prominence in Miller’s insightful treatment of the saecular games (Chapter Five). As I will argue, however, in the visual environment of Augustan Rome, she would have been impossible to bracket out. While the goddess, fiercely independent, often appeared alone, in the second half of the first century B.C.E. she became a faithful companion of Apollo. Diva triformis The late republic and early empire saw an explosion of images of the divine sister, who, like Apollo, evolved into a dynamic, shape-shifting deity, slipping from one identity to another: Hecate, Trivia, Luna, Selene, even Juno Lucina.

  • ROME FOUNDED Biographies, Discussion Questions, Suggested Activities and More ANCIENT ROME Setting the Stage
    THIS DAY IN HISTORY STUDY GUIDE APR. 21, 753 B.C. : ROME FOUNDED Biographies, discussion questions, suggested activities and more ANCIENT ROME Setting the Stage Beginning in the eighth century B.C., Ancient Rome grew from a small town on central Italy’s Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Among the many legacies of Roman dominance are the widespread use of the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Por- tuguese and Romanian) derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar and the emergence of Christianity as a major world religion. After 450 years as a republic, Rome became an empire in the wake of Julius Caesar’s rise and fall in the fi rst century B.C. The long and triumphant reign of its fi rst emperor, Augustus, began a golden age of peace and prosperity. By contrast, the empire’s decline and fall by the fi fth century A.D. was one of the most dramatic implosions in the history of human civilization. About a thou- sand years after its founding, Rome collapsed under the weight of its own bloated empire, losing its provinces one by one: Britain around 410; Spain and northern Africa by 430. Attila and his brutal Huns invaded Gaul and Ita- ly around 450, further shaking the foundations of the empire. In September 476, a Germanic prince named Odovacar won control of the Roman army in Italy. After deposing the last western emperor, Romulus Augustus, Odovacar’s troops proclaimed him king of Italy, bringing an ignoble end to the long, tu- multuous history of ancient Rome.

  • Ritual Killing in Ancient Rome: Homicide and Roman Superiority Dawn F Carver, Jasmine Watson, Jason Curtiss Jr
    EL RIO: A STUDENT RESEARCH JOURNAL HUMANITIES Ritual Killing in Ancient Rome: Homicide and Roman Superiority Dawn F Carver, Jasmine Watson, Jason Curtiss Jr. Colorado State University-Pueblo ABSTRACT The ancient Romans outlawed human sacrifice in 97 BCE after increasing discomfort with the practice, but ritual killing still occurred because it was justified in a way that preserved Roman superiority. The ancient Romans interpreted the favor of the gods as justification to perform ritual killings. This paper explains the difference between human sacrifice and ritual killing using a wide collection of primary source documents to explain how the Romans felt that their supe- riority depended on the continued practice of ritual killing. The ancient Romans had to differ- entiate between ritual killings and human sacrifice to maintain their superiority over other soci- eties, but to maintain the favor of the many Roman gods, they needed to perform ritual killings. CC-BY Dawn F Carver, Jasmine Watson, Jason Curtiss Jr. Published by the Colorado State University Library, Pueb- lo, CO, 81001. 3 SPRING 2018 Aelia was exhausted, she had been in labor all night and into the following day, but the baby would not come. She was worried, she had heard the slaves talking about two wolves that had come into Rome last night right around the time her pains had started. Such a bad omen, her baby must be alright, but the signs were worrisome. There is a commotion outside, people are shouting. What are they saying about the sun? Oh no, the baby is coming! Where is the midwife? She is still outside; please come back! Moments later, a baby’s wail breaks through to the midwife who rushes back in to find that Aelia has had her baby.
