STOLJEĆA I NJEGOV IZVORNI IZVJEŠTAJ O VEZALOVOJ SMRTI 1564. GODINE Maurits Biesbrouck1, Theodoor Goddeeris2 and Omer Steeno3 Summary Reiner Solenander (1524-1601) was a physician born in the Duchy of Cleves, who got his education at the University of Leuven and at various universities in Italy and in France. Back at home he became the court physician of William V and later of his son John William. In this article his life and works are discussed. A report on the death of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), noted down by Solenander in May 1566, one year and seven months after the death of Vesalius, is discussed in detail. Due to the importance of that document a copy of its first publication is given, together with a transcription and a translation as well. It indicates that Vesalius did not die in a shipwreck.

Notwithstanding its physical presence, this work exhibits a spatial lightness, Incomplete Systems: a show in which the artist premieres a series of sculptures that due in large part to its skeletal and transparent structure, that implies volume, rather reveal a shift in his practice from pre-determined to more indeterminate forms. than mass. The concluding activity deals with ‘complete’ forms that are more strictly ordered, such as the spherical System No.18 Spring Greens also uses modular, linear construction, but translates it into a zig-zag New Shoot. journey around an ellipsoid-like form. The lack of symmetry in the travelling lines is heightened by the dramatically leaning installation of the sculpture, meaning it In using systematic techniques to explore sculpture in the round, Wild follows a appears to be about to roll off down the slope on which it has been installed. mechanistic cannon that began in the early Twentieth Century with Constructivist The implication of movement around the form, and in relation to its surroundings, artists such as Naum Gabo and Alexander Rodchenko.

His sculptures, being invariably composed by grids of open cubes, rely on entirely orthogonal relationships. In contrast, Wild’s particular Incomplete System marks the boundary between Wild’s more precise method of use of methodical and repetitive fabrication processes confers more organic forms making sculpture and an approach in which the outcome is less tightly controlled.

    Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd. Newsletter No. 142 April 2012 The Observations and Discoveries; Their Tenth Birthday! In this Newsletter we depart from what has become tradition and do not have a normal issue of Peak District Mines Observations and Discoveries, but instead have an index of the first forty sets of notes; ten years on since the first, this seems a perfect time to do this. The onerous task of compiling this index has fallen to Adam Russell, who very kindly volunteered to do this without prompting from us. We are very grateful. When we started I don’t think we ever envisaged there would be so many notes and with failing memory there is an increasing need to have an index to help easily find the various jottings when we need to refer back to something. We also take this opportunity to thank the many people who have contributed notes over the years – these have enlivened the Observations and Discoveries no end. This said, we always need more – if you have found something new or interesting, explored a shaft people don’t often go down or entered a mine where there is no readily available description of what is there, please consider writing a short note. There are literally hundreds of mines in the Peak where we have no idea what lies below ground – most were presumably explored in the 60s or 70s but often nothing was written down, and a new generation is now having to reinvent the wheel. We were gratified to learn, from the Reader Survey on the content of the newsletter that Steve undertook last year, just how much you, the readers, appreciated these notes.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.
