“And They Joined Him in Elphegor”: on the Relationship Between the Romanian Translation of the Palaea Historica and Its Slavonic Model

The Palaea Historica, a Byzantine apocryphal text from the 9th century, was translated into Romanian between the late 16th century and the early 17th century via a Slavonic intermediary. Although the Romanian text was edited and published in full in 2001, recent developments in the academic discussion around the Slavonic version of the Palaea Historica have led to the publication of an edition of the second Slavonic translation in the year 2016, thereby raising the question of whether the Romanian text was solely influenced by the first redaction or not. This study is a continuation of the author’s previous research on the Romanian version’s relationship with the two Slavonic redactions, with more focus being given to grammatical peculiarities and loci obscuri that were highlighted by the editors of the Romanian manuscripts as having been stemmed from the Slavonic text’s influence. These passages are analyzed in comparison with the two Slavonic translations and the Greek original, allowing for a better perspective on how dependent the Romanian grammatical constructions were on their Slavonic model. Finally, this study refers to an onomastic confusion between Abraham’s brother and Abraham’s father, which is avoided or possibly Romanian version.

Linguistic Contact and Portuguese-to-Spanish Document Translation During the Iberian Union

The present paper discusses document translation and analyzes the translation from Portuguese to Spanish of a report of the Council of Portugal, which describes the political-administrative situation of the Moluccas Islands. The concepts of bilingualism and diglossia (FISHMAN, 1967) are used to discuss the colonial translation scenario, and the taxonomic framework provided by Barbosa (2004) supports the translation analysis. The main research tools are the selection and editing of manuscripts, and the classification of translation procedures. Results indicate the historical study of document translation between Portuguese and Spanish as a new research field, mainly involving contact between languages; the tendency towards literality as the main feature of Iberian Union (1580-1640) administrative translation, as these are technical documents; punctual translator interference, with instances of source-text omission and rewriting; and the possible comparison between document translation in Asian and American Portuguese colonies.

Analysis of Methods to Correct Indonesian Language Spelling Errors in Thesis Writing Among Students of State University of Medan

This text discusses the editing of Indonesian language manuscripts using various linguistic techniques, encompassing on-screen and manual editing. Academic and developer-created editing applications for Android-based apps and web pages facilitate on-screen editing. Notable programs include jasa.id, lektur.id, typoonline.com, typograp.com, and SIPEBI (Indonesian Spelling Editing). These applications provide features to enhance the editing process for Indonesian language users, each having distinct strengths and weaknesses. They detect elements like standardized and non-standardized words, spelling variations, including capitalization, prepositions, numbers, and typing errors. Generalizing these aspects across sections is challenging, necessitating varied handling and corrections for each text or document. While these programs streamline editing, manual editing remains crucial due to unknown factors. Despite its time-consuming nature, manual editing excels in accuracy and coverage. In summary, these applications play a valuable role, but manual editing is indispensable for comprehensive and precise language refinement.

Nuances of Edutainment in Mushaf: Analysis of Learning Methods in Edutainment in Indonesian Al-Qur'an Mushaf

In this research, the relevance of the innovative use of edutainment in the manuscripts of the Al-Qur'an is explained. Apart from strengthening the existence of the Al-Qur'an manuscripts, the addition of this innovation is in line with the concept of contemporary education, namely anthropocentric. In terms of analysis, this research is qualitative-exploratory with sources from 15 trendy manuscripts. The approach in this research is philosophical-speculative to always present the relevance of edutainment in the manuscripts of the Al-Qur'an. This research concludes that the relevance of publishing specific editions of manuscripts with the concept of edutainment can accommodate the cognitive, physiological, and psychological needs of readers in terms of several learning theories, such as cognitivism, behaviorism, humanism, cybernetics, and multiple intelligences, as well as learning methods. Quantum learning, active learning, multiple intelligences, accelerated learning.

The Chapter of Fasting and Itikaf in Talkhiṣ Al-Matlab fi Talkhiṣ Al-Madhab by the Erudite Sheikh Fakhr Al-Din Abu Abdillah, Muḥammad bin Al-Khiḍr Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Ḥarrani (d. 622H)

In this research, the researcher edited the two chapters of Fasting and I'tikaf in “Talkhīṣ Al-Matlab fī Talkhīṣ Al-Madhab” by the Erudite Sheikh Fakhr Al-Din Abū Abdillāh, Muḥammad bin Al-Khiḍr Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Ḥarrānī (d. 622H). Due to the significance of the issues in both chapters and people’s perpetual need for them, in addition to the fact that it has never been edited or printed before. The researcher started with a preface where he introduced the author, the book, the single available manuscript that was used, and the editing methodology, with keen consideration of the extant rules of editing manuscript texts. This book, “Talkhīṣ Al-Matlab fī Talkhīṣ Al-Madhab,” subtly known as “Al-Talkhīs,” is the middle one among the three summarized jurisprudence books of the author and the most widespread and referred by scholars due to its significance and valuable knowledge in jurisprudence. The author followed the method of Abu Ḥāmid Al-Ghazālī in his book "Al-Wasīt", where he classified it based on genres and divisions in his chapters and sections. The researcher recommends studying the jurisprudential choices of Al-Imām Al-Fakhr Ibn Taymiyyah, and clarifying its influence on the standard opinion in the Ḥanbalī school.

Najstarszy zachowany leksykon przyrodniczy na ziemiach polskich. Z warsztatu filologa i wydawcy. Kwestie edytorskie, perspektywy badawcze

The oldest preserved botanico-medical lexicon in the Polish lands. A report from editorial and philological works. Editorial questions and scientifical problems This article presents the main issues related to the development and critical edition of the oldest manuscript entirely devoted to the subject of botanical, zoological and pharmaceutical and originating from Poland. Such an issue requires a more detailed discussion and precise presentation to a broad audience not only due to the specific and atypical nature of the research papers, differences in the development of common-use Latin texts and literary texts but also due to its importance for other fields of science: the history of pharmacy and medicine. The article comprises the initial status quaestionis over the manuscript number ms225 – the opus of Jan Stanko, dated 1472, stored away in the Archives of the Krakow Cathedral Chapter. The manuscript has not yet been the subject of a detailed study; some crucial remarks on its subject are included in Józef Rostafiński’s Średniowieczna Historya Naturalna w Polsce, published in Cracow in 1900. By profession, Rostafiński was a botanist, thus his coverage vastly differs from the method in which the text would be analysed by a classical philologist and a book publisher. The article provides preliminary findings on the history of the manuscript, its characteristics and peculiarities, and also raises issues related to the methodology of codicological research facilitating the understanding of the text, including the complexity of the lexis used in the text. Parles the specifics of research on ancient texts that are not Piotr Wolski literary works. The final part of the article illustrates the main objectives: source and linguistic research, the principles of editorial work, as well as further research perspectives.

Korean scholarly journal editors’ and publishers’ attitudes towards journal data sharing policies and data papers (2023): a survey-based descriptive study

Purpose: This study aimed to ascertain the attitudes of Korean scholarly journal editors and publishers toward research data sharing policies and the publication of data papers through a survey.Methods: Between May 16 and June 16, 2023, a SurveyMonkey survey link was distributed to 388 societies, including 270 member societies of the Korean Council of Science Editors and 118 societies that used an e-submission system operated by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information. A total of 78 societies (20.1%) responded, from which 72 responses (18.6%) were analyzed after excluding invalid responses.Results: Out of the representatives of 72 journals, 20 editors or publishers (27.8%) declared a data sharing policy. Those journals that did not have such a policy often expressed uncertainty about their future plans regarding this issue. A common concern was a potential decrease in manuscript submissions, primarily due to the increased workload this policy might impose on editors and manuscript editors. Four respondents (5.6%) had published data papers, with two of them including this as a publication type in their author guidelines. Concerns about copyright and data licensing were cited as drawbacks to publishing data papers. However, the expansion of publication types and the promotion of data reuse were viewed as benefits.Conclusion: Korean scholarly journal editors’ and publishers’ attitudes toward data sharing policy and publishing data papers are not yet favorable. More training courses are needed to raise awareness of data sharing platforms and emphasize the need for research data sharing and data papers.

Serenade in D Major for Orchestra by Ethel Smyth (review)

Reviewed by: Serenade in D Major for Orchestra by Ethel Smyth Jennifer Oates Ethel Smyth. Serenade in D Major for Orchestra. Edited by John L. Snyder. Middleton, WI: A-R Editions, 2021. (Recents Researches in the Music of the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries, v. 84) [1 score (xxiv, 190 p.) ISBN: 9781987206302, $425; 1 facsimile (viii, 140 p.) ISBN 9781987206326, $60] John L. Snyder's two-volume critical edition of Ethel Smyth's Serenade in D serves as the first commercial publication of the composer's first orchestral work. The edition consists of two volumes: a critical edition of the score and a reproduction of the manuscript. Each volume has a unique introduction allowing Snyder to maximize the use of his sources. Transcriptions of Smyth's program notes for the premiere, and over two dozen reviews are also included. Performance parts are available for rental via A-R Editions. In addition to this being the first published score of the Serenade, there is only one commercial recording (Ethel Smyth, Concerto for Violin, Horn & Orchestra; Serenade, BBC Philharmonic, cond. Odaline de la Martínez, Chandos CHAN 9449 [2006], CD). Some of Smyth's compositions are available via open-source websites, such as IMSLP, her publisher Universal Edition, or have been published in modern performance editions. At least one facsimile edition of a Smyth manuscript, her String Trio in D (see below), has been published. As far as I can tell, Snyder's marks the first critical edition of a Smyth composition. This is her first appearance in the Recent Researches in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries series, which includes twelve volumes by British composers (four of which feature the music of Alice Mary Smith). An edition of her music has yet to appear in Musica Britannica. Indeed, no volume of Musica Britannica is devoted to women composers or a single female composer. As a seminal figure in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century music, a critical edition of Smyth's work is overdue. While her so-called "eccentricities" (e.g., being queer, a tendency to dress in a masculine manner, and a penchant for smoking cigars) helped capture the public's attention, her music earned and deserved its place in the concert halls and opera houses of Britain and on the continent. In Britain, she bucked traditions by carving out her own path and finding success without necessarily being a part of the unofficial inner circle of composers and conductors that dominated the musical scene in London. Like many British composers, Smyth benefitted from August Manns's interest. Manns, then conductor at the Crystal Palace and one of the foremost champions of British music at the time, requested an orchestral work after seeing a manuscript of one of her string quartets. She sent him the Serenade in D, her first orchestral work. The composition was first performed under Manns at the Crystal Palace on 26 April 1890. Several months later, he performed her Overture to Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. While the Serenade in D appears to have been well received at the time, it has not been performed much since then. Smyth's Serenade in D is in four movements, though, unlike traditional symphonies, there is no slow movement. The outer allegro movements are in sonata-form while the inner two are ternary allegro and allegretto movements. The orchestration is sparse by [End Page 660] late nineteenth-century standards: 2 flutes (flute 2 doubles on piccolo at times), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and five-part strings (including contrabasses). While Snyder suggests that Smyth chose the title Serenade based on the lack of a slow movement, the composer's program notes clearly explains her rationale: "The claim of the work to the title 'Serenade,' lies chiefly in the fact that the prevailing character of its four movements may be described as respectively lyrical and humorous; and the intention is further carried out in the composition of the orchestra (without trombones) and the dimensions of each individual movement" (p. xv and Plate 1). Locating and identifying the manuscript required significant detective work. Snyder corresponded with Smyth's estate, Universal Edition, librarians, and fellow Smyth...

Representing the Sung Poetry of Ottoman Art Music in a Critical Digital Edition in TEI XML

The research project “Corpus Musicae Ottomanicae” dedicates itself to the critical editions of Near Eastern music manuscripts that saw increasing production from the early 19th century onwards to record music especially centered in Ottoman Istanbul. The principal way to write down this originally oral tradition was in Hampartsum notation, invented around 1812 by an Armenian of the same name before it became discontinued with the introduction of Western staff notation from 1830 onwards. Within the project’s scope, there are three areas of research and deliverables: the indexing of sources in a catalog, the music edition under consideration of modal and rhythmic principles of Ottoman music, and the text edition of sung poetry mainly in Ottoman Turkish written in various scripts. Overarching are the digital humanities to present the research output in a holistic approach. This paper will focus on the design of representing the text edition in TEI XML format.

KOSTIANTYNIVSKA KORMCHA AS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE FOR STUDYING THE HISTORY OF THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE

The article describes the emergence of a handwritten monument – Kostiantynivska Kormcha as a part the framework activity of Kostiantyniv educational center in the second half of the XVI century. The essence and origin of the term “kormcha” is clarified, its language, structural and functional features are characterized. The attention is focused on the modern facsimile edition of the ancient manuscript. Manuscript Kostiantynivska Kormcha of 1599, created in the city of Kostiantyniv (now Starokostiantyniv, Khmelnytskyi region), in the castle church school of Vasyl-Kostiantyn Ostrozky. In 2021, thanks to the enthusiasm of Ukrainian and Polish researchers, the book was digitized and published in the form of a facsimile edition. These books were of great importance not only for church life, but also for secular life. Back in the days of Kyiv state and the Galicia-Volyn principality, they regulated the legal relations of representatives of the clergy, monks and laity. Some legal concepts, principles and norms have been consolidated in the legal system of Ukraine to this day. So, in the analyzed collection of religious rules and social norms, we recorded Ukrainian vernacular features in the field of phonetics and morphology, woven into the Church Slavonic linguistic basis of the manuscript. In its lexical composition, the monument reflects the beliefs, traditions, daily life of the Ukrainian community, laws and rules both for the residents of the church school and for various representatives of society in the late Middle Ages. The return of Kostiantynivska Kormcha to scientific circulation gives us a unique opportunity to join those treasures of our culture, education, and art that our state lived by in the past. In the future, the book will be interesting for linguists, historians, theologians, and local historians.

Sociocognitive Theory of Terminology: diachronic applications

Terminological research has made considerable progress in almost all areas of language for specific purposes, such as Medicine or Law. However, studies with a socio-historical perspective have been relegated to the background. In Brazil, terminological research with a diachronic approach is scarce, which is why we developed our research for contributing to this area of study. This article aims to describe and analyze a medical-legal term found in a corpus consisting of 45 corpus delicti, extracted from rape criminal cases recorded in Sergipe from 1854 to 1900. The term copula was chosen due to its significant frequency and because it is a representative term for the sexual act. Our theoretical foundation is based on the principles of Diachronic Socioterminology and the Sociocognitive Theory of Terminology. In the methodological procedures, first of all, we performed manuscript editions, then we used Corpus Linguistics by employing the software AntConc and TermoStat for term extraction and identification. After this process, we chose the term to be analyzed and applied it in the terminology sheet model, along the lines of Sociocognitive Terminology We described and analyzed the chosen term, and a result, we concluded that this approach allowed us to understand the (re)constructed meanings through real usage of the term, examine its socio-historical movements in its specific contexts, as well as identify its users, enunciators, communicative and discursive situations.

A rare case of viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Dear Editors, Viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa (VATS) is a cutaneous eruption of folliculo-centric shiny papules and alopecia that most commonly occurs in transplant recipient patients.1 Here, we present an extremely rare case of VATS in a female patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). An informed consent was obtained from the patient for this report. A 63-year-old female presented with a 2-month history of multiple reddish-pinkish papules on her face in the setting of long-standing CLL. Physical examination also showed leonine facies, superciliary madarosis, and an infiltrative nose. Many spiny red papules and spicules were located on her face, neck, chest, arms, and back (Fig. 1A and B). A punch biopsy of one of the lesions on the back revealed prominent trichohyalin granules with disruption of the normal follicular maturation showing basophilic inclusions within the follicular ostia consistent with VATS (Fig. 2A and B).Fig. 1.: Clinical progression of viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa treated with topical cidofovir. Spiny red papules and spicules concentrated on face (A) and upper back (B) found on initial presentation. Face showing dramatically decreased spicules and papules, particularly on cheek and forehead, after 9 months of treatment with topical cidofovir (C).Fig. 2.: Pathological findings of viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa showing unusual prominent trichohyalin granules with disruption of the normal follicular maturation showing basophilic inclusions within the follicular ostia, shown at magnification 100× (A) and 400× (B).Importantly, the patient was not on any immunosuppressive therapy when she developed the VATS lesions. The most recent treatment for her CLL had been approximately 1 year ago, when she had finished 6 cycles of bendamustine plus rituximab. Prior to that round of treatment, her small lymphocytic lymphoma had been diagnosed over 20 years ago but had not required therapy for 10 years. A complete work up for immunosuppression including HIV testing, T-cell subsets, immunoglobulins, and re-staging of small lymphocytic lymphoma was performed. She was negative for HIV-1/2 antibody/HIV-1 antigen screening. She had evidence of hypogammaglobulinemia with an IgG of 667 mg/dL and low IgG subclasses 2, 3, and 4 (72, 16, and 1.3 mg/dL, respectively). IgG subclass 1 was normal (482 mg/dL). A peripheral blood flow cytometry showed absolute T-cell lymphopenia with low CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ absolute counts (504 and 267.2/µL, respectively), but no evidence of lymphoproliferative disease. Laboratory values showed a low absolute lymphocyte count of 0.8/µL. Prior treatment of the skin lesions by the primary care physician included topical corticosteroids, topical metronidazole, and oral cephalexin, and were not effective. After the diagnosis was established, the patient was treated with 450 mg valganciclovir twice daily to target the underlying polyomavirus, but showed no improvement over 4 months. 3% topical cidofovir twice daily was then added, and the patient showed significant improvement over the following 9 months on both 450 mg valganciclovir twice daily and 3% topical cidofovir treatment (Fig. 1C). During this period, valganciclovir was discontinued by the patient for a period of 3 months due to apparent lack of efficacy but was restarted based on dermatology recommendation. The plan of care is to continue this treatment indefinitely as maintenance therapy. Although VATS has been reported frequently in transplant recipient patients and patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, there are only 3 previously reported account of VATS in a patient with CLL in the literature.2–4 Importantly, the previously reported patient developed VATS just 2 months after ceasing fludarabine,3 whereas our patient had been off immunosuppressive agents for nearly 1 year prior to developing VATS. Thus, our unique case highlights the dermatologically significant impact of CLL-induced immunodeficiency. The etiology of the immunodeficiency caused by CLL is multifactorial, including hypogammaglobulinemia, hypocomplementemia, and altered major histocompatibility complex class II antigens on cancer cells.5 Finally, this case emphasizes the important role that topical cidofovir may have in treating patients with treatment-resistant VATS.6 Conflicts of interest None.

Launch of an Editorial Scholars Program for Neuro-Oncology.

The success of Neuro-Oncology is contingent on many elements. The quality and impact of the science and research conducted, especially if this results in a major paradigm shift in the field, is well accepted as the main driving factor. The integrity and efficiency of the review process to ensure that the conduct of the work was rigorous and reproducible, and that the conclusions were clear and appropriate, is another major factor. Peer reviewers are critical to the contribution of high-quality scientific publications, yet there are few programs that seek to formalize the training of the peer-review process. To address this training gap, the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and Oxford University Press are pleased to announce the inaugural Editorial Scholars Program. This new opportunity is offered to early-career members to enhance their skills as reviewers of manuscripts and expand the pool of qualified peer reviewers for Neuro-Oncology. The program will also offer an introduction to the journal’s production and post-publication activities. The broader goal of the program is to increase exposure to, involvement in, and commitment to the journal peer-review process, ethical considerations, editing, and publishing of medical research manuscripts among early-stage researchers.

"Intavulare": Tavole di canzonieri romanzi ed. by Luciana Borghi Cedrini and Walter Meliga

Reviewed by: "Intavulare": Tavole di canzonieri romanzi ed. by Luciana Borghi Cedrini and Walter Meliga Courtney Joseph Wells Borghi Cedrini, Luciana and Walter Meliga, eds. "Intavulare": Tavole di canzonieri romanzi, directed by Anna Ferrari. I, Canzonieri provenzali, vol. 14. Florence, Biblioteca Riccardiana a, aII (2814); Modena, Biblioteca Estense Universitaria a1(Campori γ.N.8.4: 11–13) (Canzoniere di Bernart Amoros). Modena: Mucchi, 2020. 321 pp. + 8 color ill. ISBN: 978-88-7000-649-0. €35 Created and directed by Anna Ferrari, the project Intavulare has published thirteen volumes on eighteen Occitan songbooks, five volumes on eight French chansonniers, and one volume dedicated to an Italian canzoniere.1 As stated in the original preface by Aurelio Roncaglia, the project's name is inspired by Renaissance humanists who compiled tables of medieval codices that often circulated separately from their sources ([2001] 2020, v–vi). These tavole umanistiche informed scholars on the presence of texts and authors contained in a manuscript, though they did not identify where these texts could be found specifically or their placement in relation to other texts in the codex (Ferrari 2020, viii). The title Intavulare is a nod to these tables, to the tavole antiche that often accompanied medieval songbooks (Ferrari 2020, vii), and to the multiple tables in the tavole di studio employed by modern scholars and especially Gustav Gröber (Ferrari 2020, viii). For scholars of Gröber's generation, these tables, in conjunction with diplomatic editions of individual manuscripts, facilitated a comparative analysis of textual variants and a global understanding of the relationships between different songbooks, without the need to examine in person the many manuscripts of the Occitan lyric tradition in libraries across Europe. Indeed, even with great advances in our modern infrastructure for travel (planes, high-speed trains, affordable cars, etc.), it is still only with great effort, resources, and time that a scholar can study a songbook such as N [End Page 51] in the Morgan library in New York and then go to the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence, for example, to study the contents and structure of canzoniere a. Even then, to gain a full view of the sixteenth-century copy of Bernart Amoros's medieval songbook that is lost to us today, that same scholar would have to travel on to Modena to study the second section of that same manuscript.2 The volumes of Intavulare thus have the purpose of bridging these great distances and putting a systematic presentation of the contents of major songbooks at the fingertips of scholars worldwide. In her introduction to the series, Ferrari explains that the volumes of Intavulare provide an X-ray of the medieval songbooks; the ultimate goal is to arrive at a CAT scan or, eventually, an MRI (Ferrari 2020, viii).3 The bones of these manuscripts, as it were, can be found in the tables of each volume. In each book, there are: 1) an index of the texts contained in the manuscript(s) studied, in order of appearance; 2) an index of the troubadours contained in the manuscript(s), in order of appearance; 3) an index of authors' names, organized alphabetically; and 4) an index of the incipit of each text, organized alphabetically. In volumes "tabulating" songbooks that contain vidas and razos, these are indexed in their own fifth section at the end. I confine my remarks in the remainder of this review to this latest installment, edited by Luciana Borghi Cedrini and Walter Meliga, that focuses on the sixteenth-century copy of the lost songbook of Bernart Amoros (a + aII + a1). In relation to the other installments of the series, this volume boasts a number of welcome innovations. While the other books in the Intavulare series have facsimiles in black and white of some parts of the manuscripts [End Page 52] studied, this volume boasts eight high-quality photographs in color. The enhanced reproduction makes reading these images far easier—and these reproductions are all the more precious, since a has not yet been digitized. Another important addition to this installment is an updated introduction by series coordinator Anna Ferrari, where she discusses why, after roughly ten years of intense activity—eleven of the thirteen volumes...

Penerapan Naskah Kuno dan Pemanfaatannya untuk Pengembangan Wisata Religi Ziarah di Surau Simaung Kabupaten Sijunjung

Most Minangkabau manuscripts are collections of traditional mosques called "Surau Tarekat" in West Sumatra. Some of them are always crowded with congregations for pilgrimage. One of them is Surau Simaung, Nagari Sijunjung, Sijunjung Regency, and West Sumatra. The development of ancient manuscripts in Surau Simaung's collection can be relevant to present and future life. The development of ancient manuscripts as a source of value is not meant to go backwards but rather to pick up existing ones to be pushed forward as a source of creative economic development. This manuscript, it is hoped that it will support the development of religious pilgrimage tourism in West Sumatra, which has not been appropriately managed and maximally until now. This program was designed to find and explore the potential of Minangkabau manuscripts which can be developed as a creative industry. Implementing community service was training for students studying at Surau Simaung called "Pakiah" to produce unique souvenirs from the manuscripts. Producing text editions of manuscripts containing biographies of Tarekat scholars and their teachings can revive the creative industry, especially the publishing sector and the engineering of Batik motif illumination. In conclusion, Pakiah has the skills in making Batik and screen printing with illuminated motifs of ancient manuscripts in the Surau Simaung collection and can promote them.

Logos, Thomas Carlyle, and The Everlasting Yea

Logos, Thomas Carlyle, and The Everlasting Yea Raymond N. MacKenzie, Editor Keywords Thomas Carlyle, Romanticism, Catholic Romanticism This is my first issue as Editor at Logos, and I want to begin by saying just a few words about my predecessor, Dr. David Deavel. Dave has taken a new position with the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and he will be very much missed here. His contributions to Logos were too many to count; many readers will remember, in particular, his many fine prefaces, which seamlessly blended personal reflection with intellectual and spiritual inquiry. And all Logos readers are in his debt for his work in soliciting, evaluating, and editing manuscripts, and for shaping and nurturing the journal for nineteen years (six as editor-in-chief). We here at the journal wish the very best for Dave and his family. As I begin my tenure as editor of Logos, I’m naturally drawn to the question of ends, of goals. I’ve been thinking about the question, what is this journal for? The obvious answers—the journal is a place for scholarly inquiry, for intellectual exchange—are satisfactory as far as they go, but those are true of all academic journals. Does Logos have something else to do, something larger to provide? Our website provides a good place to start thinking about the question. There, we read the following: [End Page 5] Springing from our commitment at the St. Thomas Center for Catholic Studies to contribute to national and international developments in Catholic higher education, we began publishing Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture more than 20 years ago. Since then, Logos has served as an interdisciplinary meeting point for scholars to publish their finest work and for readers to remain engaged in the beauty, truth, and vitality of Christianity as it is rooted in and shaped by Catholicism. Engaging readers in the beauty, truth, and vitality of Christianity: now we can see a better answer to the question taking shape. Continuing to think about the subject, my attention was piqued by a concept that is developed in this issue of Logos, in Peter Gorday’s article. I will give a proper introduction to Reverend Gorday’s work later in this preface, but right now I want to pick up a specific point, though it is one that at first seems far removed from the question of what Logos can offer. He cites the French writer Henri Bremond as arguing that Romanticism is in its essence mystical; Bremond spoke of a conservative romanticism, even a Catholic romanticism. He seemed to see Romanticism as profoundly religious and thus, by implication, as a literature that is closely connected to faith. Was Romanticism essentially mystical? Was it that close to Catholicism? Nowadays, it is rarely discussed in such terms; scholars tend to stress the revolutionary side of Romanticism, its political radicalism, its flouting of taboos and breaking of boundaries. But I think Henri Bremond was right.
