Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy Jan 2008

Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper looks at an aspect of Luca Pacioli and his Summa Arithmetica that has not previously been explored in detail the market for which he wrote the book. In order to do so, it follows a path identified by two clues in the bookkeeping treatise as to the nature of this market that modern eyes, unaware of how life was in late 15th century Italy, have missed. After discussing the curriculum taught in schools at that time, this paper considers a range of possible markets for which the book may have been written. The paper concludes that it was …

An Bhuil Gaeilge Agat?: Perspectives On The Irish Language In Ireland, Georgia Katherine Fyke Jan 2008

An Bhuil Gaeilge Agat?: Perspectives On The Irish Language In Ireland, Georgia Katherine Fyke

Honors Theses

The future of Irish as a living language is uncertain, and some fear it will vanish completely. In this paper I explore how the main language of Ireland shifted from Irish to English and discuss the perspectives of the Irish themselves toward the Irish language. Chapter 1 summarizes the history of the language from its introduction to the island by the earliest Celts to its current secondary role. Chapter 2 reviews the concepts of language death and revitalization both generally and as they apply to Irish, using models by David Crystal and Joshua Fishman. The final chapter is an analysis …

Institutionalized Islam: A Study Of The Union Des Organisations Islamiques De France, Andrus Gareth Ashoo

Honors Theses

This paper examines the role of Islamic religious authority in France as it pertains to the possibilities and limitations of Muslims becoming French. Such religious authority has emerged in the form of an institutionalized Islam promoted by both the Muslim community and the French government. One of the major federations, the Union des organisations islamiques de France (UOIF), was used as a case study. Primary data was collected from the websites of the UOIF and of affiliated organizations, pamphlets, and newsletters for the Rencontre annuelle des musulmans de France (RAMF). The nature of the data collected centered on the UOIF's …

Printing Of Pacioli's Summa In 1494: How Many Copies Were Printed?, Alan Sangster Jan 2007

Printing Of Pacioli's Summa In 1494: How Many Copies Were Printed?, Alan Sangster

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper considers the printing of Pacioli's Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Summa) in 1494. In particular, it attempts to answer the question, how many copies of Summa were printed in 1494? It does so through consideration of the printing process, the printer of Summa, the size of the book, survival rates of other serious books of the period, and the dates it contains revealing when parts of it were completed. It finds that more copies were published than was previously suggested, and that the survival rate of copies has probably as much to do with the manner …


Straw Men And Old Saws -- An Evidence-Based Response To Sy And Tinker's Critique, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd Jan 2007

Straw Men And Old Saws -- An Evidence-Based Response To Sy And Tinker's Critique, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd

Accounting Historians Journal

In a recent Accounting History article, Sy and Tinker (S&T) [2005] critique accounting history for its support of archivalism and empiricism in light of irrefutable arguments against these antiquarian epistemes. While tempted to lambaste S&T's article as unfettered social activism rather than evidence-based historical inquiry, we focus instead on the more substantive questions S&T raise. We initially summarize their essential arguments, although some of the statements they make are contradictory in nature. We then discuss fundamental issues and genuine challenges to accounting history posed by the post-Kuhnian critique that S&T and others represent, as well as the nature and purpose …

Honors Theses

The Soviet Union was a vast empire that included scores of ethnic minority groups, From its earliest days, the Soviet government was compelled to find creative ways to address the concerns of these various groups while remaining true to its ideological rhetoric.

The numerous instances in Soviet history during which these privileges were curtailed are also included.

The Limits Of Laïcité: Islam And The Headscarf Issue In France, Lindsay Blaire Beeman Jan 2007

The Limits Of Laïcité: Islam And The Headscarf Issue In France, Lindsay Blaire Beeman

Honors Theses

Laicite is the term given to France’s complex policy of separation between church and state. Developing out of a long and tumultuous religious history, laicite set out to resolve the problems that the French state had with religion by eliminating its presence in the public sphere. At its inception, the policy did not have clearly stated objectives. As a result, it was not equally applied and many problems ensued. The most recent debacle involving the application of laicite was Vaffaire dii foulard, or headscarf affair. Citing the principle of laicite, numerous teachers and principals in French schools required Muslim students …
