Albert Einstein Library: From Princeton to Jerusalem

This article, based on both historical and content analysis of Albert Einstein’s private library, presents a comprehensive picture of the Einstein Collection that was located at his home in Princeton, now housed at The Albert Einstein Archives at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His private library consisted of approximately 2,400 titles, including not only books but also a small collection of journals, musical scores and records. Staff members of the Archive succeeded in adding additional books, including works by Einstein himself and ones about him in various languages. These amounted to approximately 1,500 titles. Most of the books in Einstein’s library related to subjects other than physics. Many authors presented copies of their books to Einstein. Those books, usually with autographs or dedications by the authors, dealt with various fields of knowledge – philosophy, literature, religions, Jewish culture, etc. Content analysis of Einstein’s personal library reveals scientific, political, and social connections of the scientist. This article includes information about the main institutions involved in conveying the library to Jerusalem and in organizing it. These were the American Friends of The Hebrew University in New York, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, and the Jewish National and University Library (today The National Library of Israel). The primary sources for the research on which this article is based are 1) material from The Albert Einstein Archives at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2) Inventory Books of the National Library of Israel, 3) <i>Kiryat Sefer</i>, bibliographical quarterly of the Jewish National and University Library, 4) Einstein’s reprint collection at The Weizmann Institute of Science. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) From the Einstein private library items were given as gifts both during his lifetime and after his death; 2) a large proportion of the books that Einstein gave to the National Library of Israel were registered in the Inventory Books of the National Library of Israel before the transfer of his complete library to Jerusalem; 3) Einstein's personal library includes books that actually belonged to other members of his family. For example, there are books, like those that belonged to his secretary Helen Dukas and to his stepdaughter Margot Einstein, that contain either the signature of the former owner or autograph/dedication by the author of the book. The article’s references to the contemporary Israeli press about Einstein’s visit to Israel elucidate Einstein’s role in the founding of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Steelyards from the Roman Collection of the Hungarian National Museum

This paper describes 14 steelyards which belong to the Roman Collection of the Hungarian National Museum. The museum’s inventory books mention a total number of 97 weights and 52 balances. A previous study examined 9 weights and 28 balances, out of which 14 were steelyards. Steelyards appeared in the Roman Empire from the 1st century BC. This new type of balance did not require standard weights for use and allowed a more rapid weighting process, but was not as accurate as the equal armed balances. This paper gives a short review of the research history of steelyards and a description of their function, followed by the presentation of the 14 steelyards mentioned above categorized using Norbert Franken’s typology.

ODESA BOOK HERITAGE IN THE 19TH – THE FIRST THIRD OF THE 20TH CENTURIES IN THE COLLECTIONS OF SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY OF OLES HONCHAR DNIPRO NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

The purpose of the article is to reveal and analyze the collections of Odessa editions stored in the collections of the University Scientific Library. It is necessary for saving book heritage of Ukraine and for development of the world information space. According to research results, about 100 volumes of Odessa editions printed in the 19th – the first third of the 20th century were found. The author attracts attention to «Mathesis» books. «Mathesis» publishing house worked in Odessa in 1904–1925. The article gives a short historical review of this organization, shows the role and contribution of Novorossiysk University teachers into foundation and activity of a powerful Ukrainian and Russian publishing house of scientific and popular scientific compositions from the field of physical and mathematical sciences. The subject of the publishing house was broader and covered many fields of knowledge. The founders paid special attention to text-books, manuals and methodological guidances. “Mathesis” text-books were used by students of different educational institutions in the Russian Empire. The text-books were available in Katerinoslav and other provinces. Translations of foreign scientists from German, English and French prevailed among the editions. The collected collection came to the book stock in various ways. Seals and inventory books let know the history of their acquisition. «Mathesis» published three series and the library keeps individual copies of each one. The second part of the article deals with history of Odessa editions printed in other printing offices. The author of the article draws attention to the most valuable books on history, philosophy, biology, medicine and psychology in terms of content, structure and design. Special attention is paid to text-books dated by the 19th – the beginning of the 20th centuries.

PHANTOM SCYTHIANS MOUND NEAR THE SUMY CITY

In 1926 collection of items that allegedly were founded in a mound near the Sumy city of Kharkov province was transferred to the State Hermitage museum from the storehouse of antiquities of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture. According to the information given in the museums inventory book, this mound was excavated by N. E. Makarenko in 1915. However we couldn’t find any documents confirming this research. Even if the mound near the Sumy city existed, details of its structure as well as circumstances of the items discovery are still unknown. The most of peculiar interest items in the Hermitage collection are numerous iron parts of two Scythian-type wagons. In this article we have proposed the reconstruction of the wheels of these wagons that based in the analysis of the items. For some parts of wagons we have found analogies in the Scythian mounds in the Dnieper and the Kuban areas. At the same time, in the Hermitage collection there are Sindo-Meotian type swords and Meotian pottery of the IV century BC. Considering this fact, we have reviewed an alternative version of the origin of wagons parts. Some indirect signs allow us to correlate items from a mound near the Sumy city with the famous Elizabethan burial mounds. This fact is confirmed also by the comparison items from Hermitage collection with archive documents of excavations of the Elizabethan burial ground, in particular, with the photo of the wheels that were founded in the mound, excavated in 1915.

Development of forests in the former heathland landscape: changes in the habitat quality, structure of undergrowth, syntaxonomy of phytocoenoses and modern pollen deposition

This study presents changes in the quality of habitats between 1926 and 2013 in permanent units of forest division restored in the 19th century as a result of afforestation carried out in the landscape dominated by heaths and xerothermic grasslands. The research was conducted in the Zaborski Landscape Park, located in the north-western part of the Tuchola Forest − one of the largest forest complexes in Poland. Changes in the habitat quality were determined based on data included in seven consecutive inventory books. Assessment according to the 5-point quality scale was performed on the basis of average height reached by a pine forest stand of a certain age occurring in particular forest subsections. It has been found that the quality of habitat increased over 87 years by two classes, on average from IV to II. The number of species, especially deciduous trees and shrubs listed in inventory books, was an additional parameter expressing the habitat quality. The extent of habitat changes was also determined based on the types of syntaxa, which are represented by releves forming the time series and made more or less at the same sites by different authors in 1961, 2002 and 2013, i.e. over the period of 52 years. Temporal changes in the structure of phytocoenoses and their syntaxonomic affiliation were determined using the classification and ordination methods. It has been found that in the study area and within the studied time horizon, there was a recession of dry coniferous forest which developed towards mesic (fresh) pine forests. Whereas within the fresh coniferous forest, there were transitions from the poor cladonietosum variant to the mesotrophic typicum variant, or from the typicum variant towards the fertile variant with a large contribution of Fagus sylvatica in the main tree layer and undergrowth. A change in the forest type from a pine monoculture to mixed pine-beech forest was also reflected in the spectrum of modern pollen deposition collected after annual exposures of Tauber traps. In this case, the observations were performed by the same research team over 15 years.

I libri di Angelo Zambardo, religioso e poeta minore (XVI-XVII secolo)

This article focuses on the figure and works of Angelo Zambardo (16th- 17th century), a friar of the Congregation of the Hermits of Blessed Peter of Pisa and a minor poet, recorded in poetry anthologies and bibliographies either as being from Ferrara or Padua, in fact confounding his identity as two individuals with the same name. In addition to the few documents available, his biography can be enlightened through his book inventory, now collected in the manuscript Vat. Lat. 11292, drawn up by himself and sent to comply with the request of the Congregation of the Index of Forbidden Books as he was based in the convent of S. Maria della Rosa in Ferrara (1600). This source makes possible to explore the workshop of a minor poet of the sixteenth century and to reconsider his literary production – comprising religious, encomiastic and satirical rhymes, amongst which the previously unknown Betulia liberata. Iudith, printed in Padua in 1590.

A Typeface Searching Technique Using Evaluation Functions for Shapes and Positions of Alphabets Used in Ancient Books for Image Searching

Various projects to digitize the document and book inventories around the world are proceeding recently. At the same time, utilizing the IT/ICT technologies for the paleographic works is becoming an interesting issue among the historical and academic circles especially in the Republic of Korea where both Chinese characters and native Korean alphabets have been used in their ancient articles. There are some subtle differences in the typefaces and Great Seals used in each dynasty or year depending on the writers or the popular writing style of the time. The typeface recognition technique proposed in this article includes an alphabet analysis DTW algorithm and an alphabet position analysis method to determine the periods and possible authors of old documents. The results of analysis showed that the former was more reliable compared to the latter.

Digitization of Documentation at the Scientific Archive of the National Institute of Archeology with Museum

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60 s . The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

Catalog to families, genera, and species of orders Actiniaria and Corallimorpharia(Cnidaria: Anthozoa).

This book inventories all available (and some unavailable) names in the family, genus, and species groups of extant members of orders Actiniaria and Corallimorpharia [cnidarian subclass Hexacorallia (Zoantharia) of class Anthozoa], providing a benchmark of names, their status, and taxon membership. I have attempted to make the compilation complete as of 2010; some names created after 2010 are included. The book is derived from a database I compiled that was available through a website. Most of the book is from the literature that defines taxa and documents their geographic distribution-primarily publications on nomenclature, taxonomy, and biogeography, but also some on ecology, pharmacology, reproductive biology, physiology, etc. of anemones (the common name for these groups); the reference section comprises 845 entries. As for previous anemone catalogs, this contains taxonomic as well as nomenclatural information, the former based on subjective opinion of working biologists, the latter objectively verifiable and unchanging (except by action of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature). Each family-group name, genus-group name, and original combination for species-group names has an entry. The entry contains the bibliographic reference to the publication in which each name was made available. This book contains for Corallimorpharia seven family names (four considered valid [57%]), 20 generic names (10 considered valid [50%] and one unavailable), and 65 species names (46 considered valid [70%]). It contains for Actiniaria 86 family names (50 considered valid [58%] and three unavailable), 447 generic names (264 considered valid [59%] and two unavailable), and 1427 species names (1101 considered valid [77%] and nine unavailable). Type specimens are inventoried from more than 50 natural history museums in Africa, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and North America, including those with the largest collections of anemones; the geographic sources of specimens that were the bases of new names are identified. I resolve some nomenclatural issues, acting as First Reviser. A few taxonomic opinions are published for the first time. I have been unable to resolve a small number of problematic names having both nomenclatural and taxonomic problems. Molecular phylogenetic analyses are changing assignment of genera to families and species to genera. Systematics may change, but the basics of nomenclature remain unchanged in face of such alterations. All actions are in accord with the principles of nomenclature enunciated in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. These include the type concept, the Principle of Coordination, and the Principle of Priority. Nomenclatural acts include the creation of new replacement names; seven actiniarian generic names and one species name that are junior homonyms but have been treated as valid are replaced and an eighth new genus name is created. I designate type species for two genera. Except for published misspellings, names are rendered correctly according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; I have altered spelling of some species names to conform to orthographic regulations. I place several species that had been assigned to genera now considered junior synonyms in the genus to which the type species was moved; experts on these anemones should determine whether those generic placements, which follow the nomenclatural rules, are taxonomically appropriate. This inventory can be a useful starting point in assembling the literature and trying to understand the rationale for the creation and use of names for the taxonomic matters yet to be resolved. Some nomenclatural conundra will not be resolved until taxonomic uncertainties are. A taxonomist familiar with the animals needs to ascertain whether the published synonymies are justified. If so, the senior synonym should be used, which, in many instances, will involve determining the proper generic assignment of the species and the correct rendering of the name; if changing the name would be disruptive, retaining the junior name would require an appeal to the Commission (Code Article 23.11).

Out of Date. Remarks on the 1951 “Index of Books to be Immediately Excluded”

This article seeks to identify some of the uses of „the index of books to be immediately excluded” issued by the Ministry of Culture and Arts in 1951. At that time, decrees of the sort specified inventories of books permitted to be included on the shelves of Polish. In the process, many books were to be removed for good both from libraries and from native heritage. Addition­ally, the procedure of “purification”, as it was called by the officials, bore significant similarities to the repressive practices of the German and Russian occupants used during WWII. The author argues that analogies were drawn wittingly or impulsively at least for the effectiveness of German and Russian inventions. The 1951 list of books forbidden for the Polish common reader offers their obsolete character as the reason for exclusion. Up to date did not mean “contemporary” but up to the demands of state authorities. Administrative pressure to reflect the political agenda converted books into somewhat fatter newspapers and in this way seriously damaged book, which had always been the important vehicle of national and cultural memory.
