Isabella Whitney and George Turberville: Mid-Tudor Heroidean Poetry and Questions of Precedence

ABSTRACT Scholarship on Isabella Whitney often positions her in relation to George Turberville. Her Copy of a Letter is habitually juxtaposed with—and oftentimes assumed to derive from—Turberville’s Heroycall Epistles (i.e. the earliest full translation of Ovid’s ancient Latin Heroides to appear in English print). Further similarities have been observed between Whitney’s Copy of a Letter and the Heroidean missives attributed to the fictive “Pyndara” in Turberville’s roughly contemporaneous auto-miscellany Epitaphes, Epigrams, Songs and Sonets. While there are a number of provocative parallels between Whitney’s and Turberville’s early works, the extent of the former’s reliance upon the latter may well be overstated in existing criticism. Reinvestigating various Whitney-Turberville connections, this essay calls renewed attention to the fact that the sequence in which The Copy of a Letter, The Heroycall Epistles, and Epitaphes, Epigrams, Songs and Sonets first reached print in the mid-1560s is hardly conclusive: it is therefore just as plausible that Whitney helped to shape Turberville’s Ovidian aesthetics as it is that Turberville provided the pattern for Whitney’s.

III. Die Summa Monacensis und ihre verwandten Werke

Abstract The Summa Monacensis and its Relatives. In his study on the birth of the Parisian school of canon law Peter Landau argues that the Summa Parisiensis was not written in Paris, as has commonly been thought, but in Sens, and that the Summa Monacensis marks the beginning of the Parisian school of canon law. The question of precedence having remained open, the Summa Monacensis and and its relatives, the so-called circle of the Summa Monacensis, indeed are an important foundation of the Parisian school of canon law. The present study tries to elucidate the internal relations of the circle of the Summa Monacensis. More precisely, drawing on some major works of the circle, it tries to prove Stephan Kuttner’s hypothesis of a common source attributed to an unknown master. It will be argued that there seems to have been a common source, of which each work of the circle represents a unique form of tradition. Following Landau’s argumentation, it will also be argued that the common source should be attributed to the author of the Summa Monacensis.

Ceremoniał wjazdu w epoce nowożytnej na przykładzie podróży Teresy Kunegundy Sobieskiej do Brukseli na przełomie 1694 i 1695 roku. Scenariusz i interpretacja uroczystości

The article deals with the problem of applying ceremonial principles during the celebration of the entry of Bavarian Electress Theresa Kunegunda Sobieska to the cities on her route to Brussels at the turn of 1694 and 1695. The aim of the work is to point out various elements of the Baroque feast, such as the route of travel, the question of precedence, the role of magnates, clergy and bourgeois in the act of greeting and artistic setting of the event. The considerations were based on a source database, mainly travel journals and electoral correspondence, as well as extensive literature of the subject (Polish, English, and French) on the issue of entry ceremonies in the modern era.

La mère des fils de Zébédée

Jewish women were extremely instrumental at the most critical moments of Christian history. This article discusses how the Synoptic Gospels report on the question of precedence among Jesus' disciples. The Lucan version which is reported in another context is only mentioned here. Can the mother of the Zebedee brothers depicted by Matthew be compared to other mothers known to us from Jewish literature? Can this comparison teach us either about the author of Matthew or add to our understanding of the social models and tendencies in Matthew?

Bim and Bom

BIM AND BOM were a pair of clowns. They always performed together, enjoyed enormous popularity. No one could remember without or without Bim-only that Bim-and-Bom Bom-and-Bim made them laugh. was unclear whether played a particular role in the partnership, or whether had any special significance; perhaps it was only the and between them that mattered. Besides this and that held them together, there was one other constant, unvarying element of their partnership - which though inessential, proved grave in consequence: namely, the order in which their names appeared on the poster. was always first, second, always Bim Born, never Born Bim. No one knew why this was the case; even they themselves were not sure. And no one would have given it much thought-they themselves the least of all, since they had always worked in perfect agreement harmony-if not for a curious event, not unlike the one that took place in Paradise. While on tour around the country, arrived in a little town, signed in at a hotel, and, having nothing else to do before the evening performance, decided to make their way to a barber. They took their places in the queue, since this was-as we have already mentioned-before their performance, they were still unknown thus waited incognito. When the last of the customers before them had had his hair cut, the barber untied the apron from under his neck, dusted it off, asked: Who's next? Without hesitation, Bom stood up together sat down in the barber's chair, each occupying exactly half the seat. This must be some sort of a joke! exclaimed the barber, not even slightly amused. What I'm asking is, which one of you gentlemen was first! Bom looked at each other, but because they were sitting so close, one next to the other, or the other next to the one, they had to look each other straight in the eye. haven't the time for stupid jokes' said the barber, becoming more more impatient. Please leave my shop. stood up simultaneously headed for the exit. They were so preoccupied with the question of precedence -a question that until then they had never asked themselves-that they paid no heed to their surroundings. Although they were still walking together, the question took shape in each of their minds separately, now each of them independently sought an answer. They crossed the doorstep once more found themselves in the street. Over the barber's door could be seen a sign: Haircuts & Shaves-Z. Snake. The ampersand was strangely enlarged. Their career did not survive much longer. They say Bom attempted to strangle Bim, to poison Bom. In any case, their joint performances were no longer of the same quality, their popularity fell. They performed in ever more wretched cabarets even that ever more rarely, until they stopped performing altogether, no one has heard from them since. HEALTH SERVICES The appendectomy proved inevitable. I filled out the appropriate forms my name was placed on the waiting list. Two years passed in a flash, my turn came, I found myself in a hospital. The surgery was successful. Even the head surgeon congratulated me on my results. It was a beautiful operation, Ma'am, he said. I pointed out that I was of the masculine gender. He checked something in his file. You were, before the surgery. By mistake, you were transferred to the experimental ward, now you are a woman. The sex-change is still a pioneering branch of surgery, but we have achieved excellent results, of which you, Madam... Sir.... are the proof. But what about my appendix? Wouldn't you like to keep it, Ma'am? No. And I do not wish to remain a woman, either, please correct this misunderstanding immediately. You certainly are a difficult patient, Sir. …

Christian Speculative Thought

Mr Samuel Johnson said, I believe, that no question of precedence could arise between a flea and a louse. If we asked the average educated Westerner a similar question about theology and philosophy (at least of the old type), he would very probably, though perhaps more politely, give a similar answer; the question of precedence between theology and philosophy has become quite irrelevant, except perhaps to a small, archaic and esoteric clique still entrenched in the traditionalism of the older universities, who taught and wrote about theology and metaphysics. Having been jealous and contending queens these subjects have become Cinderellas.

Eyestrain as a Cause of Headache and Other Nervous Symptoms—A Question of Precedence.

Philadelphia, March 12, 1904. To the Editor: —Concerning the courteous note of Dr. A. L. Ranney, under the above heading inThe JournalMarch 12, kindly permit me a few words of reply. I am conversant with the literature to which Dr. Ranney points, and it has always given me pleasure to emphasize the discoveries in medical science made by Americans. To Dr. Stevens and to Dr. Ranney credit is due for the first, continuous and indefatigable advocacy of the role of heterophoria in causing eyestrain and its reflexes. But my contention is a very different one. I believe that heterophoria has no influence or but little in causing eyestrain or the reflex ocular neuroses under discussion. In my writings, I have persistently advocated the view that tenotomy is not only unnecessary, but is really a prevention of cure. To me heterophoria is one of the results of eyestrain, and

Eyestrain as a Cause of Headache and Other Nervous Symptoms—A Question of Precedence.

New York City, March 3, 1904. To the Editor: —In your issues of Jan. 16 and Jan. 23, 1904, Dr. George M. Gould publishes an interesting article concerning the dependence of Migraine on eyestrain. In this article he goes extensively into the history of the literature relating to this distressing and extremely common malady. In this connection he makes the most remarkable statement regarding a contribution of a French oculist to this field. He says (italics are my own): In 1888 Dr. G. Martin ( Ann. d'Oc .), a French oculist, published an article which some time will be recognized as truly epoch-making. But two writers, as far as I have noticed, have even mentioned Martin's magnificent and daring attempt to bring the medical world to its senses. A compiler should certainly have shown more care than Dr. Gould appears to have shown in reviewing medical literature, before he ignores the work
