  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

  • 2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook
    2010 Summer NABC Appeals Casebook Appeals at the 2010 Summer NABC New Orleans, Louisiana FOREWORD The appeal hearings and commentary descriptions are now being compiled and edited by the American Contract Bridge League. They are published on the ACBL web page. This internet publication is intended to be a tool to help improve the abilities of those serving on appeals committees and tournament directors and to communicate decisions and the process to arrive at those decisions to the membership at large. A total of thirty (20) cases were heard. Eight (8) cases were from unrestricted (by masterpoints) North American Bridge Championship Events and were heard by a committee of peers. The names of the players involved are included. Twelve (12) cases were from all other events and were heard by panels (committees) of tournament directors. The names of the players involved are included when the event from which the appeal came was a Flight A/X event or was the top bracket of a bracketed knockout event. When the names of the players are not used, the player’s masterpoint total is included. The cases are first presented without commentary. After the official panel of commentators has had an opportunity to provide their commentary (about 4 weeks) and any corrections to the cases, the commentary is added, corrections made and the internet publication is finalized. Everyone involved in this process is due praise for their efforts. Special thanks to the NABC Appeals Committee and the Tournament Directors serving on the director committees, scribes and commentators. Without their considerable contribution of time and effort, this publication would not exist.
