It has been used occasionally in England of late years, probably with no reference to the saint." I can't find any documentation in my sources that 'Ariane' was used as an English name in period. -

However, these sumptuary laws, as they were known,3 were generally a failure, for many reasons. Those who wished to ignore them often could do so with impunity.4 The frequency of such legislation is a sign both of the perceived importance of The author would like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Bruce Christianson and Ms Susan North in the preparation of this paper. -

EVE BTBATSFORD, 94 HIGH HOLBORN LONDON I907 Bctlkr & Tanner, The Selwood Printing ^Vobks, Frome, and London. 1GC0718 P r e fa c e THE intention of this book is to assist the workers in the many arts that are concerned with heraldry, in varying degrees, by putting before them as simply as possible the essential principles of heraldic art. In this way it is hoped to contribute to the improve- ment in the treatment of heraldry that is already evident, as a result of the renewed recognition of its ornamental and historic importance, but which still leaves so much to be desired. It is hoped that not only artists but also those who are, or may become, interested in this attractive subject in other ways, will find herein some helpful information and direction. So that the work of the artist and the judgment and appreciation of the public may alike be furthered by a knowledge of the factors that go to make up heraldic design and of the technique of various methods of carrying it into execution. To this end the illustrations have been selected from a wide range of subjects and concise descriptions of the various processes have been included. And although the scope of the book cannot include all the methods of applying heraldry, in Bookbinding, Pottery and Tiles for example, the principles that are set forth will serve ;; VI PREFACE all designers who properly consider the capabilities and limitations of their materials. -

Colour-Symbolism in the Troubadour Marcabru and His Followers
Colour-symbolism in the troubadour Marcabru and his followers Richard Goddard A number of articles and chapters of books exist on different types of colour-symbolism from diverse branches of medieval culture, from both secular and sacred worlds, and from a variety of different regions and different periods. The two most. widely-ranging pieces on this subject to date, W. Wackernagel's 'Die Farben- und Blumensprache des Mittelalters'l and P. Dronke's 'Tradition and Innovation in medieval Western Colour-Imagery',' respectively take Middle High Gennan and Medieval Latin as their base languages. Wackemagel, the more comprehensive of the two, examines the often contradictory moral and other abstract significances attached, among others, to the colours of hair, the complexion and the humours, to liturgical and lay clothing. to banners and shields, gem-stones and flowers. P. Dronke, more selective and orientated rather towards literature and learning, concentrates his discussion on the purely artistic use of colour (in an Old Irish epic), on the gradual formalisation of certain types of colour-symbolism, such as that in liturgical vestments, heraldic fashion and the twelve stones of the heavenly Jerusalem, and on the imagery of blood and snow in a famous passage in the Perceval/Parzival legend. Neither mentions Occitan literature and culture;} and no other medieval colour-symbolism which has so far been discussed in print seems to be comparable in choice of colours and meaning with that which I shall illustrate here from the lyric of Marcabru and his successors. a) Vai,. and pic in the satire of Marcabru Perhaps the most unusual of the moralised colour-terms in the satirical verse of the troubadour Marcabru are the pair vair and pic. -

The Ligatures of Early Printed Greek Ingram, William H Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1966; 7, 4; ProQuest pg. 371 The Ligatures of Early Printed Greek William H. Ingram SCHOLAR working with sixteenth-century printed texts-if he A is not trained in Classics-will be more often dismayed than enlightened when he encounters, in his Elizabethan quarto, an embedded Greek word or expression. The Greek may be simply a part of the running text, a happy devising of the author's to add authority to his prose; or it may be an extended quotation from a classical source. For one like myself, whose training is in English literature, the difficulty is not mitigated in the latter case; for even when an Elizabethan author identified his Greek I often had to accept on faith that it was a fragment of "Theogn" or "Arist" or "Herm Trism," the quotation as printed seeming no more than a series of alien convolutions to my perplexed eye. I saw little relevance between the Greek I had learned in school and this peculiar, cramped typeface which I could not read and which often contained only an occasional letter I could recognize. After much frustration of this sort I finally decided to attempt a resolution of the problem and to teach myself to read Renaissance Greek. I was ultimately successful, and in the course of my agon I came upon a number of interesting facts about the printing of Greek in the sixteenth century which, though hardly new, are perhaps inaccessible to many. Therefore, though my chief purpose in this article is to illustrate the forms which Greek ligatures took in the sixteenth century, and hopefully thereby to provide some aid for fellow sufferers, some preliminary comments about printing in general may not be out of place. -
A Macron Signifying Nothing: Revisiting the Canterbury Tales Project Transcription Guidelines
Bitner and Dase 1 A Macron Signifying Nothing: Revisiting The Canterbury Tales Project Transcription Guidelines Kendall Bitner, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, [email protected] Kyle Dase, University of Saskatchewan, [email protected] Bitner and Dase 2 Abstract The original transcription guidelines of The Canterbury Tales Project were first developed by Peter Robinson and Elizabeth Solopova in 1993. Since then, the project has evolved and expanded in scope, bringing about numerous changes of varying degrees to the process of transcription. In this article, we revisit those original guidelines and the principles and aims that informed them and offer a rationale for changes in our transcription practice. We build upon Robinson and Solopova’s assertion that transcription is a fundamentally interpretive act of translation from one semiotic system to another and explore the implications and biases of our own position (e.g. how our interest in literature prioritizes the minutiae of text over certain features of the document). We reevaluate the original transcription guidelines in relation to the changes in our practice as a means of clarifying our own position. Changes in our practice illustrate how the project has adapted to accommodate both necessary compromises and more efficient practices that better reflect the original principles and aims first laid down by Robinson and Solopova. We provide practical examples that demonstrate those same principles in action as part of the transcription guidelines followed by transcribers working on The Canterbury Tales Project. Rather than perceiving this project as producing a definitive transcription of The Canterbury Tales, we conceptualize our work as an open access resource that will aid others in producing their own editions as we have done the heavy lifting of providing a base text. -
ÆTHELMEARC Aemilia Leaena. Name and Device. Argent, a Willow Tree Eradicated Proper B
ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 20 February 2012 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: ÆTHELMEARC Aemilia Leaena. Name and device. Argent, a willow tree eradicated proper between two roundels vert each charged with a lion sejant respectant Or. Ailletha de la Mere. Name and device. Per fess embattled gules and azure, three plates and a compass rose argent. Alrekr Bergsson. Name. Amabe Genjirou Katsuharu. Name (see RETURNS for device). Antonius Hasebroek. Device change. Gules scaly Or. This device is not in conflict with the badge of Yrjö Kirjawiisas, Sable, scaly Or, or the device of Deykin ap Gwion, Vert scaly Or, by complete change of tincture of the field. Section X.4.a.ii of the Rules for Submissions says: (b) Complete Change of Tincture - If the fields of two pieces of field-primary armory have no tinctures in common, they are considered completely different and do not conflict, irrespective of any other similarities between them. ...The addition of a field treatment is also a change of tincture, so Per fess argent and gules is completely different from Per fess argent masoned gules and sable. In this case, scaly is a field treatment. The rules and precedents clearly state that a field X <treatment> Y is considered completely different from a plain field X. It seems perverse to rule "no tinctures in common" when considering a plain field versus that same field with a field treatment but to deny "no tinctures in common" when considering two fields with the same field treatment; this is a case where our use of the term tincture with regards to field treatments may be confusing. -
Essential Questions for Linguistic Literacy in the World Language Classroom Judy Hochberg, Fordham University
Essential questions for linguistic literacy in the world language classroom Judy Hochberg, Fordham University Abstract This paper argues for bringing insights from linguistics into the world language classroom. At any level of study, such insights can add intellectual interest to the study of a target language (TL), and can also help students accept and acquire aspects of the TL that are different from their first language or that are inherently challenging. As a supporting framework, the paper proposes five linguistics-based essential questions for world language education: (1) How is the TL different from other languages? (2) How is the TL similar to other languages? (3) What are the roots of the TL? (4) How and why does use of the TL vary? (5) How do people learn and process the TL? The paper illustrates each essential question with relevant aspects of five commonly-taught languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. Finally, it outlines how teachers can incorporate the essential questions in their teaching. Introduction Two of the top priorities in the world language classroom are generally recognized to be functional competence in the target language (TL), and an understanding and appreciation of its speakers’ culture (or cultures). This paper proposes a third priority: linguistic literacy. Students deserve to know the most interesting facts about the TL. For example, students learning an Indo-European language, such as a Romance language, German, or Russian, should be aware of the size and importance of this language family and how their TL fits within it. Those learning Chinese should know that hundreds of other languages, from the Judy Hochberg (Ph.D., Stanford University) is an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Fordham University in New York, where she teaches Spanish.
