Castles In The Crusader Kingdom Of Valencia, 1257-1276, Marius Nielsen
Castles In The Crusader Kingdom Of Valencia, 1257-1276, Marius Nielsen
Masters Theses
For my thesis I proposed to study the registered charters of James I (1208-1276), King of Aragon, to examine how castles were distributed and utilized in the Crusader Kingdom of Valencia for the period 1257-1276. A little over two thousand register charters were issued for Valencia during this period. Around 250 of the two thousand charters mention castles indicating the importance of castles in the administration of the Crusader Kingdom of Valencia. Although there are many works on Western European castles the majority focus on castles in France, Britain and the Crusader States in the Middle East and rely on …
Images Of Migration And Change In The German-Language Poetry Of Galsan Tschinag, Richard Hacken
Images Of Migration And Change In The German-Language Poetry Of Galsan Tschinag, Richard Hacken
Faculty Publications
Presented March 25, 2004, at the European presentation for Migrations in Society, Culture, and the Library held in Paris. Migration in the works of Galsan Tschinag could be discussed on a number of levels. The first is an actual geographic migration documented in the published diaries of Tschinag. The next level of migration could be a linguistic migration of ideas and words from Tschinag's native Tuvan language which has no written script sometimes to Mongolian, but most often to German. The main focus is on the diverse images of migration in his German-language poetry, often illustrating transmigration of spirits between …

Introduction: The Swiss Protestant Reformation
Introduction: The Swiss Protestant Reformation
Swiss American Historical Society Review
On November 28th , 2002 the innocent family Lieu awoke to begin another day of prayer, devotion and work in their hometown of Danane in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. However, at 9 AM gunfire erupted and rebel forces began dropping bombs on the town, announcing that the current civil war in the Ivory Coast had reached Danane, terrifying the citizens and traumatizing the Lieu family to such an extent that they and many of their neighbors resolved to flee, with literally just the shirts on their backs, into the jungle. For months they lived like animals in the wilderness …
A Review Of Eric Till's Film Luther, Edmund J. Campion
A Review Of Eric Till's Film Luther, Edmund J. Campion
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This is a very curious movie about the great German reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546) that pleased neither Protestants nor Catholics. This is not to say that this film by the prolific director Eric Till is without value. The quality of the cinematography is extraordinary. The outside scenes were filmed in well-preserved late medieval churches, monasteries, and castles and this enables viewers to learn about early modem architecture in central Europe. Many scenes were actually filmed in the Czech Republic perhaps because production costs are significantly more expensive in Germany than in the Czech Republic. The major reason for seeing this …

Early Modern Jewries, Emw 2004
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
The 2004 workshop’s goal was to look broadly at the early modern period, and develop a number of themes that might be pursued at subsequent workshops. At the workshop, a number of scholars worked together for three days trying to define the parameters of this chronological period in Jewish history. Participants have covered a broad, if still necessarily limited, range of geographic, thematic, and disciplinary topics, resulting in the first collection of impressive texts on early modern Jewish history. They include privileges granted by monarchs and lords to Jews (privileges granted to Jews of Great Poland in 1453, to a …
Patriarch Nikon's Image In Russian History And Culture, Kevin Kain
Patriarch Nikon's Image In Russian History And Culture, Kevin Kain
Dissertations
This dissertation investigates representations of Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia (1652-1666). I contend that Nikon's resonance in Russian national life remains largely unrecognized because traditional histories--based entirely on written sources and limited to Nikon's tenure as Patriarch--fail to reveal his broader significance in Russian artistic, political and religious culture by omitting analysis of art and material culture. This dissertation advances the study of Patriarch Nikon by assessing his image in Russian history and culture from the mid-seventeenth century forward. I demonstrate that contrary to his overwhelmingly negative image in standard histories, the Patriarch held a central place in …

Preface, Donald G. Tritt
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This special issue is devoted to nineteenth century Swiss of Ohio, and it also commemorates the work of Dr. Adelrich Steinach who published in 1889 the book Geschichte und Leben der Schweizer Kolonien in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord-Amerika. Although no edition of this work exists in English, fortunately Picton Press republished it with a "Combined Place Name Index" (pp. 393-412), an "Index of Place Names in Swiss Cantons" ( 412-414 ), an "Index of Place Names in America" ( 415-420), and an "Index of Personal Names" (pp. 421-525), expertly compiled by the historian Urspeter Schelbert, an archivist at the …

Adelrich Steinach's Autobiographical Sketch, Adelrich Steinach, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Review
If the editor dares to enter here [in Geschichte und Leben der Schweizer Kolonien] the list of American-Swiss natural scientists, he does not do it because he assumes to have achieved a name among them, but because he has pursued studies in that field for more than twenty years.

On Harvey's Paris, Capital Of Modernity, Lauren Elkin
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
[First paragraph]
This is an inarguably beautiful book. Slightly textured yet sleek, the cover depicts the Street of Virtues (that is, Rue des Vertus in the Third Arrondissement), a picturesque pre-Haussmannian Parisian side street, all decaying buildings, dark corners, and muddied cobblestones. Taken by Marville in linear perspective, the photograph features, almost as an afterthought, a down-at-heel horse and carriage at the vanishing point. The casual Francophile browsing in the bookstore will flip through and feel his heartbeat speed up at the sight of so many period photographs and illustrations. Harvey appears to have written a love letter to everybody's …
