The family book has been defined as a genre in Italy in the 1980s, a sort of diary which has been written by, about, and for the family. Whereas at that time scholars were seeing it mainly as an Italian genre, now it can be said that such a pattern can be found in different forms in several parts of Europe. In any case Florence can be considered the “cradle”: the place where such documents were produced earlier and more lavishly. Florentine ricor- danze begin as early as the end of the 13th century, are produced in hundreds in the 14th–15th, and start a writing tradition which – in lessened but still sub- stantial numbers – crosses the whole early modern period. Such abundance is not only a matter of archival preservation (other places in Italy possess just dozens, not hundreds, of family books), but has to do with the very nature of the social structure of the city.

    Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy*

    Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R.

Vittorio Fossombroni and Neri Corsini in Tuscany' and Prospero Balbo in Piedmont2 are the outstanding examples in the years immediately follow- ing the Vienna settlement. The political survival of these men into a Europe dominated by violent reaction against the events of the preceding twenty years poses interesting questions.

Bates The American Numismatic Society Every Student of pre-raodern Islamic political, social, economic, or cultural history is aware in a general way of the importance of nuraisraatic evidence, but it has to be admitted thst for the roost part this awareness is evidenced raore in lip ser-vice than in practice. Too many historians consider numismatics an arcane and complex study best left to specialists. All too often, histori- ans, if they take coin evidence into account at all, suspend their normal critical judgement to accept without cjuestion the readings and interpretations of the numismatist. Or. the other hand, numismatists, in the past especially but to a large extent still today, are often amateurs, self-taught through practice with little or no formal.historical and linguistic training. This is true even öf museum Professionals in Charge of Islamic collections, ho matter what their previous training: The need tc deal with the coinage of fourteen centuries, from Morocco to the Fr.ilippines, means that the curator spends most of his time workir.g in areas in which he is, by scholarly Standards, a layman. The best qual- ified Student of any coin series is the specialist with an ex- pert knowledge of the historical context from which the coinage coraes. Ideally, any serious research on a particular region and era should rest upon äs intensive a study of the nvunismatic evi- dence äs of the literary sources. In practice, of course, it is not so easy, but it is easier than many scholars believe, and cer- tainly much «asier than for a numismatist to become =.
  • THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL by Dr. Wesley A. Swift 5-7-61 We Are

    THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL by Dr. Wesley A. Swift 5-7-61 We Are

    THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL by Dr. Wesley A. Swift 5-7-61 We are turning this afternoon to re-evaluate what is meant by the Everlasting Gospel. If you will turn to the book of Revelation, you will find that this is the only time this has been used as such and this is in the 6th verse of the 14th chapter of the book of Revelation, when John said, ‘I saw the Angel flying in the midst of the heavens having the Everlasting Gospel to preach to them that dwell on earth, to every nation and kindred and tongue and people.’ Now, we know what the Gospel means. We know that it is ‘glad tidings of great joy.’ We know that the word ‘gospel’ is not a message of fear, but a message of Light and Truth. We know that the Everlasting Gospel is a Gospel that is a continuous Gospel and it runs from generation to generation. We know that it is a gospel of Divine intent and a Divine purpose. And we have it continued into another passage which is also Everlasting. I would have you go back into the book of Genesis. And in the 17th chapter of Genesis, we read these words:--’As God speaks to Abraham, He says, ‘I will call you no more Abram, but your name shall be Abraham ‘father of many nations have I made thee.’ I shall make nations of thee and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish MY Covenant between thee and ME, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an Everlasting Covenant, that I will be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.’ There are no conditions on this.
  • Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle

    Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle

    Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family.

Large 16mo, pp. viii, 160; occasional very light spotting, some foxing on edges, but a crisp, tight, clean copy; nineteenth-century ownership inscription of Dr. Antonio Greppi, recording the book as a gift from Domenico Agrati, the author’s brother; contemporary boards, ink titling on spine. € 310 First and only edition, rare. Styled as the ‘transcription’ of unpublished manuscripts by Tasso and Biron on the French unrest from Calvin to Nantes, this publication was in fact intended to support the reaction of European aristocracy against the outcome and repercussions of the French Revolution. Hume’s and Rousseau’s visions of popular fury depict the violence of the French ‘populace’. Throughout history, Agrati argues, the French have fomented factions, incited rebellion and regularly spoiled the constructive efforts of well-meaning monarchs. In line with the spirit that had just animated the Congress of Vienna, Agrati maintains that only a ‘firm and absolute’ (p. 153) ruler can avert the lethal threat of anarchy.
