  • Going Through the Motions Some Further Considerations About the Perpetuum Mobile of Cornelis Drebbel, Based on a Manuscript Discovered by Dr
    Going through the motions Some further considerations about the perpetuum mobile of Cornelis Drebbel, based on a manuscript discovered by Dr. Alexander Marr by Dr. James M. Bradburne (figures added by F. Franck) London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education 4 June 2006 The Perpetuum Mobile is not the only invention of Cornelis Drebbel (1572-1633), nor perhaps even the most significant, but it is certainly the one for which he was best known by his contemporaries, and the one of which he remained most proud. It is also the instrument about which most has been written – both by his contemporaries and by modern scholars. What was Drebbel’s famous instrument, how did it actually work, and why was it so important to the late Renaissance court? What can we add to the extensive accounts of Drebbel and his most famous work? Figure 2. PPM by Villard de Honnecourt Figure 1. PPM by Pierre de Maricourt The search for a device that would continue to move by means of its own power dates to Antiquity. Early attempts date as far back as the Archimedes screw, and Arabic sources tell of countless attempts to create perpetual motions using mills and water. The principles commonly used to power perpetual motion machines were often discovered independently of one another, and dissemination fragmentary or discontinuous when it occurred at all. For example, in the 12th century the Indian astronomer and mathematician Bhaskara (1114-1185) described a Perpetuum Mobile made of a wheel with containers attached to its rim, partly filled with mercury. Only a few decades later, in 1235, Villard de Honnecourt described a similar overbalanced wheel with seven hammers attached to its rim.

The authors 1 This double issue of Variants: the Journal of the European Society for Textual Scholarship is the first to appear in Open Access on the Revues.org platform. In subject matter, this issue offers a wide scope covering the music manuscripts of the thirteenth-century French trouvère poet Thibaut de Champagne (expertly discussed by Christopher Callahan and Daniel E. O’Sullivan) to the digital genetic dossier of the twenty-first century Spanish experimental writer Robert Juan-Cantavella. The story of Juan- Cantavella’s “manuscripts” is an interesting: the dossier was handed on a USB stick to the scholar Bénédicte Vauthier for research; the files and their metadata became the subject of an extensive analysis of the writing history of his novel El Dorado (2008), proving that genetic criticism after the advent of the computer is still possible and necessary. In addition to Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth’s detailed consideration of the concept of “variant” and “variation” in the German historical-critical tradition of scholarly editing, the current volume contains four more theoretical exploration of this topic, which formed the topic of the 2013 Annual Conference of the Society that was held in Paris in November 2013.

  • The Story of Pierce County
    The Story of Pierce County From The Spring Valley (Wisconsin) Sun 1904-1906 by X.Y.Z (Allen P. Weld) Reprinted by Brookhaven Press La Crosse, Wisconsin From the Rare Book Collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society Library The Story of Wpii^^^^ BYX-Y.Z. About forty years after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Pl^-j mouth Rock, some hardy French Voyageurs crossed the territory lyi^ between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River for the purpose liii exploration and of establishing- trading* posts for trading^ with th^ Indians. Among- the names of these daring* adventurers we find that of Menard, who visited the Father of Waters in 1661; but no trace re­ mains of his work. Tn 1680 Father Hennepin, a French priest, came across what is now I known as the State of Wisconsin, probably by way of the Wisconsin River, and ascended to the Falls of St. Anthony, meeting- on the way another Frenchman who afterwards became famous as a border warrior and Indian trader, and who Is best known as Duluth. The latter seems to have come from the head of Lake Superior, crossing- the portage between the watershed of the lakes and that of the St. Croix river and descending* the latter to its mouth. He met Father Hennepin near the site of Prescott, and with him followed up the great river to the falls. This company seem to have given the name of the Falls of St. Anthony of Padua to the magnificent falls, and in their records of the expedition described them in g^lowing colors.

The Tragedie of Dido Queene of Carthage Testo e traduzione 5. Commento 6. Appendice 3 INTRODUZIONE Theodore Ziolkovski, nel suo libro Virgil and the Moderns afferma che Virgilio è troppo importante per essere lasciato ai classicisti1; si potrebbe parafrasare l’assunto dicendo che Christopher Marlowe è molto importante per essere lasciato (solo) ai modernisti. L’analisi di The Tragedy of Dido Queen of Carthage vuole porsi al crocevia tra ‘ricezione’ dei testi della classicità e ‘intertestualità’. È nota l’importanza della dimensione intratestuale nel teatro e nella poesia di Marlowe: Dido mostra come molto spesso alla base di questa stessa coscienza intratestuale vi sia il vitale rapporto con i testi classici. E, in questa tragedia, con Virgilio, in primis. Non si tratta tuttavia di un rapporto intertestuale neutro: al contrario, l’intertestualità marloviana è consapevole e spesso parodica. Ovidio e la lettura ‘ovidiana’ di Virgilio diventa chiave di volta di questo process.
