It was organized by Dr Volker Schier (Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies) and Professor Dr Corine Schleif (Arizona State University), to whom I am grateful. The study, which at that time was titled “Pimp my Manuscript,” also benefitted from helpful comments by others present at this event. This study also developed thanks to Martin Kauffmann at the Bodleian Library, who invited me to Oxford to give a masterclass on this topic. This event invigorated me intellectually and socially at a time when my batteries were running low. The work was funded by a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship; I thank the Trust heartily, as the fellowship allowed me to spend time in Cambridge and Oxford to conduct research and also to buy the relevant images. This work would not have been possible without their support. I also thank the School of Art History, University of St. Andrews, for supplementing the image budget for this study. The University of St. Andrews Library Open Access Fund supported Open Access publication. I thank Alessandra Tosi, Marc Mierowsky, and Bianca Gualandi at Open Book for the hundreds of small ways in which they enabled the production of this book. Years ago I held a grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) that allowed me to study medieval manuscripts in libraries across the Low Countries nearly every day for three years. During these stimulating years, I gathered ideas and materials that have fed into every project xiv Piety in Pieces I have subsequently done, including this one. Thank you, NWO, for making it possible for me to collect material for a decade’s worth of ideas. My gratitude goes out to Erik Geleijns, Kate Greenspan, Peter Gumbert, Marlene Hennessy, Klaas van der Hoek, Erik Inglis, Erik Kwakkel, James Marrow, Johan Oosterman, Katharina Smeyers, and Mark Trowbridge who provided images or helped shape my thinking. I thank Lisa Regan and Jeffrey Hamburger for comments on drafts and Emily Savage for her perspicacious reading. I am also indebted to individuals from manuscript repositories around Europe, the UK and North America, who have granted me access to manuscript and provided me with invaluable information, especially Karin Zimmermann (Heidelberg), Ann Kelders (Brussels), Suzanne Paul (Cambridge), and Martin Kauffmann (Oxford). Finally, I thank the two anonymous peer reviewers who made valuable suggestions, all of which I have taken up. A note about the images: I have told the story in this book with words and pictures. Words are cheap. Pictures cost. Their price varies considerably from one institution to the next. As of this writing, high- resolution digital images from the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague cost about €5, about as much as an artisanal latte. Those from the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge cost £40 for the tiff, plus £35 for new photography, plus VAT. Thus, ten images from the Fitzwilliam cost more than my car. Financial considerations and not just intellectual ones have, by necessity, dictated my choice of examples. Institutions that do not allow hand-held photography make it difficult to me to develop ideas, because it often takes me weeks or months to make sense of a manuscript’s structure, and doing so usually involves building diagrams and models based on notes and photographs. Institutions that currently prohibit photography include Trinity College Dublin, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and Lambeth Palace Library. As a result of these policies, I find myself avoiding those libraries and throwing my intellectual efforts at materials held in libraries that do allow photography in the reading room. Institutions with policies that encourage and facilitate research are those that are well-represented in my study.

  • The Volcanic Foundation of Dutch Architecture: Use of Rhenish Tuff and Trass in the Netherlands in the Past Two Millennia
    The volcanic foundation of Dutch architecture: Use of Rhenish tuff and trass in the Netherlands in the past two millennia Timo G. Nijland 1, Rob P.J. van Hees 1,2 1 TNO, PO Box 49, 2600 AA Delft, the Netherlands 2 Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands Occasionally, a profound but distant connection between volcano and culture exists. This is the case between the volcanic Eifel region in Germany and historic construction in the Netherlands, with the river Rhine as physical and enabling connection. Volcanic tuff from the Eifel comprises a significant amount of the building mass in Dutch built heritage. Tuffs from the Laacher See volcano have been imported and used during Roman occupation (hence called Römer tuff). It was the dominant dimension stone when construction in stone revived from the 10th century onwards, becoming the visual mark of Romanesque architecture in the Netherlands. Römer tuff gradually disappeared from the market from the 12th century onwards. Early 15th century, Weiberner tuff from the Riedener caldera, was introduced for fine sculptures and cladding; it disappears from use in about a century. Late 19th century, this tuff is reintroduced, both for restoration and for new buildings. In this period, Ettringer tuff, also from the Riedener caldera, is introduced for the first time. Ground Römer tuff (Rhenish trass) was used as a pozzolanic addition to lime mortars, enabling the hydraulic engineering works in masonry that facilitated life and economics in the Dutch delta for centuries. Key words: Tuff, trass, Eifel, the Netherlands, natural stone 1 Introduction Volcanic tuffs have been used as building stone in many countries over the world.

  • ENGLISH BOOKS in the NETHERLANDS in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: REPRINTS OR PIRACIES? the Title of This Paper Accurately and Deliber
    ENGLISH BOOKS IN THE NETHERLANDS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: REPRINTS OR PIRACIES? JOHN FEATHER The title of this paper accurately and deliberately reflects the insularity of many book historians in Britain. In histories of printing, publishing and the book trade in Britain, including the present author's, other countries tend to appear, if at all, in minor roles as customers, sup­ pliers or pirates. In one sense, this approach can be justified. The English book trade (confining ourselves to England and not the other countries of the British Isles) was for much of its history a deeply insular trade. England was the only country in Europe other than Germany where printing was introduced by a native, and the only one in which the output of books in the vernacular outstripped printing in Latin almost from the start. In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, when the long and persistent traditions of the British book trade were being established, England was a war-torn kingdom which occupied part of an offshore island still on the edge of the known and accessible world, whose inhabitants spoke a multi-dialect language which was almost unknown outside its own country. From its very beginning, the printing trade in England was concerned with the production of English books for an English market. Britain's re-entry onto the wider European stage, delayed by her civil wars in the seventeenth century, was confirmed when William III, Prince of Orange, became King of England in 1689 following what came to be called the Glorious Revolution. For the next century, the ties between the United Kingdom and the United Provinces were not only dynastically close.

  • Huurderspost-Juli-2019.Pdf
    Juli 2019 - #8 Huurders Post Thomashuis Voorwoord PAG 2 Sinds 1 juni mag ik me inzetten als directeur-bestuurder voor huurders Officiële opening Thomashuis en toekomstige huurders van De Woningraat. Om een goed beeld te krijgen van De Woningraat heb ik de afgelopen weken vooral buiten PAG 3 doorgebracht: daar waar de woningen staan en onze huurders wonen. Ascheid Karl Lissendorp De twee gemeentes hebben vele kernen en de woningen liggen dan ook verspreid. Ik heb PAG 4 projecten en woningen bezocht in Benschop, Cabau, Hekendorp, Lopik, Lopikerkapel, Oudewater, Polsbroek en Snelrewaard. Ook mocht ik even binnen komen kijken bij het Hennepteelt in huurwoningen Thomashuis in Lopik waar ik enthousiast werd begroet door de bewoners. En heb ik op de bouw gestaan van Lentehof (Lopik): het schiet nu echt op! PAG 7 Koolmonoxide In Benschop heb ik de vorderingen gezien van het groot onderhoud van Zielhuishof. Ik was in Oudewater bij de start van een uniek praktijkonderzoek naar rookverspreiding waarbij De Woningraat haar ‘Schuylenburg’ beschikbaar heeft gesteld. In mijn functie is samenwerken een sleutelwoord. In goed overleg met De Huurdersraat hebben we dan ook een ‘bod’ uitgebracht op de Woonvisie van de Gemeente Lopik en de Gemeente Oudewater. Hieruit voort komen de prestatieafspraken: een drie partijen overeenkomst tussen de gemeente, De Huurdersraat en De Woningraat waar we in december een handtekening onder hopen te zetten. Ook mocht ik in de Algemene Ledenvergadering een korte prestentatie mogen geven over het jaar 2018, zowel maatschappelijk als financieel. Nu halverwege 2019 kan ik zeggen dat we volop bezig zijn met het doortrekken van de lijn van 2018: goede en duurzame woningen tegen een betaalbare prijs.

  • August 2013 Issue of Concordia News
    Concordia News – Large Print August 2013 A newsletter for members, families, Volume 8 and friends of Number 8 Concordia Lutheran Church and Concordia Cemetery Association ISSN 2152-3339 Contents Page Words from Pastor Bruce ………………. 2 Announcements …………………………….. 7 Obituary: Gordon Swanson ……………. 9 With Our Thanks …….……………………… 11 Recipe of the Month ………………………. 13 Bits and Pieces ………………………………. 14 Dates to Remember …..………….………. 18 Acknowledgements ……………………….. 19 From Pastor Bruce Dear Members and Friends of Concordia Lutheran: Here is the final portion of the excellent summary about Pentecost from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It is evident that the phrase “out of sight is out of mind” applies to the longest season of the church year, but then Martin Luther did refer that the Holy Spirit, which is the centerpiece of the season of Pentecost, is the “bashful member of the Trinity”, nonetheless, as the Holy Spirit is the ongoing presence of God in the world, it is important that we do not forget about the Spirit. We are not in this life alone; God is with us: The Lutheran church of the Baroque observed three days of Pentecost. Some composers wrote sacred cantatas to be performed in the church services of these days. Johann Sebastian Bach composed several cantatas for days of Pentecost, including Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten ! BWV 172 in 1714 and Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt , BWV 68 in 1725. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 2 From Pastor Bruce wrote cantatas such as Werdet voll Geistes (Get full of spirit) in 1737. Mozart composed an antiphon Veni Sancte Spiritus in 1768. Olivier Messiaen composed an organ mass Messe de la Pentecôte in 1949/50.

  • Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band
    Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band Gavin Holman – June 2019 This band was probably formed in the mid-1890s. The first known mention is its appearance at a contest at Middleton in April 1897. It was strongly linked to the Bleach and Dye Works at Rhodes, near Middleton. The band’s conductor for most of its life was John H. White. It was disbanded on 9th December 1909. The Bleach Works was Obadiah Ashworth and Co. (bleachers, dyers, finishers, embossers, &c.), Rhodes Bleach and Dye Works, Middleton. It was one of several similar industries in Rhodes and Middleton, part of the larger fabric, weaving, finishing, and garment manufacturing industrial belt in northern Manchester and across to Yorkshire. Obadiah Ashworth founded the company and went into partnership with James W. Jones. Upon the death of Ashworth in 1874, James Jones continued the business as sole owner, but retained the Ashworth name. He was later instrumental in establishing and supporting the Bleachworks Band. In addition to these brief notes, the band’s Treasurer’s Notebook, covering the years 1898 to 1909, is transcribed below. This is followed by a brief sketch of the conductor John White. No known photographs of the band survive, although at least four “formal” photos were taken, as recorded in the Treasurer’s notebook. A typical concert of the band, at St Michael's Flags park, in August 1903, with conductor J.H. White, consisted of: Hymn; March: Silver Trumpets (Viviani); Overture: Poet & Peasant (Suppé); Fantasia: Joan of Arc (Round); Trombone solo: Ora Pro Nobilis (Piccolomini); Selection: Idomeneo (Mozart); Air Varie: Eventide (Rimmer); Chorus: The Heavens are Telling (Haydn).

Their edits, which would be frowned upon today, are useful for historians to understand how the Gospels have been valued by previous owners and thus why they are so treasured today. The Lindisfarne Gospels are on display in the treasures gallery of the British Library. The eighth- century Insular manuscript is opened and accompanied by a short caption with information about the work. i It is presented as a 1,300-year-old masterpiece, which has survived to the present day against the odds of time.

  • Soen – Imperial
    Soen – Imperial Credit: Mark Laita (Foto)/Enrique Zabala (Design) (42:05, Digital, CD, Vinyl, Silver Lining Music, 2021) Ich muss bekennen: seitdem ich Soen vor vier Jahren zum ersten Mal gehört habe, bin ich dem unverkennbaren Sound der Schweden verfallen. Daran konnte weder die relativ schlechte Produktion des 2017er Albums „Lykaia“ etwas ändern, noch die klangliche Nähe zu Tool und Opeth, welche die Skandinavier auf den Vorgängeralben „Tellurian“ (2014) und insbesondere dem Debüt „Cognitive“ (2012) gepfelgt hatten. „Schuld“ an diesem trotzdem waren neben dem herausragenden harmonischen Gesang von Frontmann Joel Ekelöf und dem vielseitigen Schlagzeugspiel von Bandkopf und Ex-Opeth-Mitglied Martin Lopez vor allem Soens Gespür für herzerweichende Ohrwurmmelodien, die mir bis heute unzählige Male die Tränen in die Augen getrieben haben. Vor allem ‚God’s Acre‘ ist ein Song für die Ewigkeit geworden und gehört für mich in den Koffer für die einsame Insel. Auch als 2019 das vierte Album Soens erschien, war ich schon beim Hören der ersten Single hin und weg so dass sich „Lotus“ bis heute unzählige Male auf meinem Plattenteller gedreht hat. Das bereits im Januar erschienene neue Album „Imperial“ vereint nun ein weiteres Mal jene altbekannten Trademarks der Schweden, welche ich so liebe. Trotzdem ist irgendetwas anders als sonst, denn anstelle von Euphorie und grenzenloser Begeisterung macht sich erstmalig so etwas wie leichte Gleichgültigkeit breit. Soen zeigen erste Abnutzungserscheinungen. Die Riffs von Gitarrist Lars Enok Åhlund sind zwar fetter als jemals zuvor und dringen in ungewohnte Härten vor, was für sich genommen, ein klanglicher Zugewinn ist. Zudem scheint Joel Ekelöf seinen stimmlichen Umfang nur noch vergrößert zu haben und die lyrisch-floydigen Gitarren-Soli von Cody Ford lassen bei mir ein um das andere Mal Gänsehaut entstehen.
