THE RENAISSANCE OF ENGLISH LEGAL HISTORY

AbstractJohn Baker's “English Law and the Renaissance” is perhaps the most significant paper in English legal history to appear in the Cambridge Law Journal. In many ways it was a response to, and development from, F. W. Maitland's Rede Lecture with the same title, published some 80 years previously. Baker's paper marks a punctuation in his study of English law under the early Tudors, a subject which he has made his own, culminating in his magisterial sixth volume of The Oxford History of the Laws of England. In addition, it marked a major break with the earlier orthodoxy that English law in this period was fundamentally distinct from the law which was developing on the European continent. The present paper explores both of these themes.

Неологізм зорецвіт: історія і сучасність

The proposed article is dedicated to the study of the neologism zoretsvit, which, in our opinion, appeared in the second half of the 1930s. It may have been first used by Oswald- Eckhart Friedrichovych Burghardt (literary pseudonym Yuri Klen), a Ukrainian poet, translator and literary critic who fell victim to political repressions during World War II. Thirty years later, in 1965, Danylo Bakumenko’s poetry collection Zoretsvit appeared. In 1980, the Kyiv sound-recording firm Melodiya made the disk My Live Well that included a song with lyrics by Mikhail Tkach, Storks Flying in Zoretsvit. Somewhat later, in 1986, the Dnipro publishing house published the collected works by William Shakespeare in six volumes, with the sixth volume including Shakespeare’s sonnets translated by Dmytro Pavlychko. The neologism zoretsvit is used in Sonnet 21. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the neologism zoretsvit began to be increasingly used in the Ukrainian language, especially in various names. It became really widespread in the 2020s in all Ukraine’s regions. Finally, it should be noted that the word zoretsvit can be found neither in the Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in 11 volumes, nor in the Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in 20 volumes. It first appeared only in the latest online Free Explanatory Dictionary.

Pop Beckett: Intersections with Popular Culture, Paul Stewart, David Pattie (eds.)

If his name is alien to no one, Samuel Beckett remains in the popular imagination as a somehow hagiography-prone obscure authorial figure, whose texts are difficult to decipher. The sixth volume of the “Samuel Beckett in Company” collection, entitled Pop Beckett: Intersections with Popular Culture is a timely investigation of the author’s presence in our everyday life. Following the publication of P. J. Murphy and Nick Pawliuk’s book Beckett in Popular Culture: Essays on a Postmodern Icon (20...

Ethical and World-View Philosophy by Wilhelm Dilthey

Reviewed by: Ethical and World-View Philosophy by Wilhelm Dilthey Sebastian Luft Wilhelm Dilthey. Ethical and World-View Philosophy. Edited, with an introduction, by Rudolf A. Makkreel and Frithjof Rodi. Selected Works, volume 6. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. Pp. xi + 346. Cloth, $55.00. The present volume is the final tome in the six-volume translation of the main writings of Wilhelm Dilthey, offering a selection of what the series editors, Rudolf A. Makkreel and Frithjof Rodi (together with an advisory board including scholars such as Paul Ricœur and Otto Pöggeler), deemed the most important writings of the philosopher-historian. By comparison, Dilthey's Collected Works in the German spans twenty-six volumes (an editorial project lasting over one hundred years) and is now complemented by a four-volume edition of his correspondence (of which three volumes have appeared). Thus, the texts gathered in this set of translations are but the tip of the iceberg of Dilthey's writings. The sixth volume fills a thematic gap in the series by including texts on ethics and religion. While Dilthey's writings on the philosophy of worldviews might be some of his most-known work in German, his writings on religion and ethics belong perhaps to his least-known work overall. Given the standard narrative of Dilthey's thought, perhaps the most surprising text in this volume is the System of Ethics of 1890, which should receive special mention here. In this text of a bit over one hundred pages, Dilthey gives a historical overview of the ethical systems the West has had to offer, critiquing each along the way, thereby laying out his ethical "system" especially in confrontation with the tendencies of his time. These are, to him, naturalism in philosophy and science, and socialism in ethics, which he sees as of a piece. He also critiques as having become insufficient in our times Christian dogma and traditional metaphysics that posits universally valid principles; both, too, are seen as stemming from the same standpoint. Instead, ethics is in need of an "epistemological and critical foundation" (48). This foundation is based on the "inner relatedness of instinct, feeling, and volition" (73), which produce a teleological movement in the individual in their "gradual merging" (74). This leads Dilthey to propose a "formative ethics," which does not restrict, but "cultivates psychic animality into a joyful form of life in harmony with the higher life" (82). Ultimately, personal ethics has to lead to a "social ethics" and to a "moral culture" (131). As the editors characterize Dilthey's stance: "Whereas traditional ethics located the ideal of inner worth in individual character, Dilthey's social ethics also projects this ideal into the historical world of cultural development" (9). Included in this volume is the well-known "Dream," a talk Dilthey gave at the celebration of his seventieth birthday in 1903. Dilthey reports a dream he had after a philosophical conversation with a friend. In this dream, Dilthey meets past and present philosophers, as if he were walking through a live staging of Raphael's School of Athens. As he also meets philosophers he personally knew, he grows anxious, as they form two separate groups, creating a hostile standoff. This leads Dilthey to reflect on the "two faces" (168) that philosophy shows. "The inextinguishable impulse for metaphysics wants to solve the riddle of the world and of life, and in this regard, philosophers are akin to religious thinkers and poets. But philosophers differ from them inasmuch as they want to solve this riddle through [End Page 524] universally valid knowledge" (168). While the latter is present in the great systems of Western philosophy, the former can only be grappled with at the level of worldviews, which "express different forms while referring to one truth. This truth is not cognizable" (169) but needs to be lived through from the standpoint of historical consciousness. Known today mainly as the philosopher who influenced Heidegger to move beyond Husserl's phenomenology toward Heidegger's analysis of Dasein and from there to Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, Dilthey in this volume, along with the entire Selected Works series, shows us a philosopher who deserves to be recognized in his...

ЗБЛИЖЕННЯ ЛІТЕРАТУРНИХ КОНТИНЕНТІВ

This article represents an analysis of the specifications of elucidating Ukrainian literary process in the first and second thirds of the 20th century, as shown by Professor Yuriy Kovaliv in his “History of Ukrainian Literature. The end of the 19th — the beginning of the 21st century” (sixth and seventh volumes out of 10 volumes planned). The significant textual material in Yu. Kovaliv’s interpretation may become not only a subject to diversely study at philological high schools, but also a powerful factor of scientific enquiries. Since being examined under nontrivial angle and thereinafter described by precise academic language without any overusing of terms, it can serve a base to further researches of Ukrainian literature in the trend of fulfillment of so-called “whitespots” that were so peculiar for the period chosen.

Comparative textual Study of Liao period Xianyan’s Huayanjing Tanxuanjuezĕ ji華嚴經談玄決擇記

본 논문은 遼代의 대표적인 화엄저술인 鮮演의 『화엄경담현결택』의 2종 사본과 1종 간본 간의 비교연구로써, 필자가 선행 연구로 진행했던 ‘『가나자와사본』과 『만속장본』 간 비교연구Ⅰ·Ⅱ’의 뒤를 잇는 작업이면서 동시에 『결택기』의 텍스트 정본화의 결론에 해당한다. 기존의 비교연구 대상이었던 『가나자와사본』과 『만속장본』의 교감결과 위에 추가로 교토대학교 도서관부속 장경서원소장 사본인 『장경서원본』을 함께 검토하여 3종의 텍스트 간 교감연구의 결과를 종합 정리한 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 선행된 교감연구의 결과에 대해 새로 나온 수정사항을 정리하고, 새롭게 추가된 『장경서원본』과의 교감사항을 교감표로 작성하고 교감내용의 특이사항을 분석하고 이러한 텍스트의 정본화 과정을 통해 『결택기』의 문헌적인 완성을 이루는 데에 있다. 필자는 앞서 2차례에 걸친 『가나자와사본』과 『만속장본』 2종의 텍스트 간 비교연구를 통해서 『만속장본』에 유실되거나 빠뜨린 글자를 『가나자와사본』에 의거해 권제3에서 8페이지 반 분량의 2597자와 권제6에서 353자를 보충하고, 각권마다 수백 개 항목의 글자를 수정하는 등 문헌학적으로 중요한 연구 성과를 얻었다. 그런데 이번에 추가한 『장경서원본』과의 교감연구는 그것이 『결택기』의 최고본인 『고잔지본』을 저본으로 하여 비교적 근세에 필사된 것이고, 또 『만속장본』의 저본으로 간주되므로 가장 기본적으로 수행해야할 작업이었다. 결과적으로 필자는 본 연구를 통해서 선행연구에서 확인할 수 없었던 몇 가지의 의문점을 해결하는 동시에 새로운 교감결과를 이끌어냈다. 즉 선행연구에서 도출된 수정·보충사항이 거의 일치한 점을 통해 『장경서원본』이 『만속장본』의 저본임을 정확히 확인할 수 있었고, 또 『만속장경』으로 편입되는 과정에서 발생한 수십여 개의 항목에 수십여 개의 오자를 새롭게 찾을 수 있었다. 제2권의 10개항, 제3권의 10개항, 제4권의 13개항, 제5권의 32개항, 제6권의 19개항에 달하는 새로운 교감결과는 모두 『장경서원본』을 『만속장본』으로 간행하는 과정에서 편집자의 실수로 발생된 것들이다. 『장경서원본』의 교감이 추가됨으로서, 『결택기』 텍스트의 정본화가 극대화되었으며, 『결택기』가 지닌 주석서로서의 가치 또한 더욱 높아졌다고 할 수 있다.Qingliang Chenguan’s 淸涼澄觀 Huayanjing shu 華嚴經疏 in twenty volumes and the commentary on it, the Suishuyan yichao 隨疏演義鈔 in forty volumes was written in support of the main thesis of Fazang 法藏. This commentary has since become, both in name and reality, the representative commentary on the thoughts contained in the voluminous Huayanjing. Also this commentary became important in the Liao that numerous copies were printed over two rounds at the Hongfa si temple 弘法寺 in the Yanjing region 燕京. The commentaries are on the Huayanjing shu (vols 1-4), Suishuyanyi chao (vols. 1-16)(Xuantan 玄談 vol.8). There are three commentaries on the Huayanjing shu chao, composed by Liao scholar-monks, and among these, one is extant in complete form, the juezĕ ji. The posthumous epithet given to Xianyan that was bestowed on him is fitting given the position that he holds in the history of Liao and Huayan Buddhism. In the study not only of the Liao’s Huayan thought, but also East Asian Huayan thought of the medieval period, several aspects of the philological values of the Juezĕ ji are apparent. The current Juezĕ ji is possibly the only literature that allows an investigation of how the expansion of the Huayan school during the Liao period occurred. The many literatures cited within the Juezĕ ji, by counting and comparing the number of times that certain literatures were cited we can ascertain the composition of the Huayan thought that was current during the Liao period and identify those doctrines that were incorporated. Among the literature cited in the Juezĕ ji, it can be noted that Fazang’s representative compositions and Zongmi’s 宗密(780-841) were often cited. In this way, Fazang and Zongmi allows for a connection from the Liao to the Tang period Buddhism, and more specifically, Tang Huayan thought which can be verified through the citations in the Juezĕ ji. The extant segments of the Juezĕ ji are four copies, the first is Kōsanji copy高山寺本 that considered the most preferred source material, the second is Kanazawa copy金澤寫本, the third is Zōkeishoin copy藏經書院本 that a modern transcribed copy of the Kōsanji copy, the forth is Wanxuzang copy卍續藏本 that a printed copy of the Zōkeishoin copy. This means that the Wanxuzang, Zōkeishoin, and the Kōsanji copies are the same versions. In the precedent studies, I procured and analyzed as paragraphs of 122 to 380 point between the manuscripts of Kanajawa copy and the texts of the Wanxuzang copy (from the second to the sixth volume). And now I also make a comparative study until the second to the sixth volume to add the another typical text, the Zōkyoshoin copy. As a result, it has been added and replaced to modify between the texts of the Wanxuzang copy and the Zōkyoshoin copy that have ranged from scores every single fascicle. In this paper I set them all down in a list and referred to the overall points and the one significant abnormality. Thus I sought to introduce the results of comparative studies for the intertextuality of the firth volume to the sixth volume. Consequentially I could reveal the values of intertextuality of the typical three text of Tǎnxuan Juezĕ Ji.

Riječ urednice

Pred nama je šesti broj časopisa Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea. U njemu, nekom neočekivanom slučajnošću, svi prilozi bave se klasičnim historiografskim temama, a niti jedan nekom iz drugih srodnih znanstvenih disciplina poput arheologije, povijesti medicine, povijesti umjetnosti, toponimije, epigrafije i sličnog, koje su se redovito nalazile u prethodnim svescima. Jednako tako, ti su radovi prilično opsežni, uslijed čega ovaj broj sadrži manji broj radova nego inače, a ipak zadržavajući uobičajen opseg stranica.

НЕРЕАЛИЗОВАННЫЙ ПОТЕНЦИАЛ СОЦИОЛИНГВИСТИКИ XX ВЕКА

Modern sociolinguistics, like other linguistic disciplines, seeks to use modern technology in its research. As a good example here can serve the attempt to develop a sociolinguistic classifi cation of written languages of the world undertaken by the scientists from the Laval University (Quebec, Canada) in 1988–2002. The main idea of the classifi cation was to measure the vitality of a language by determining the intensity of its social functions in different areas of communication. The written languages of a number of countries, such as China, India, were studied. The sixth volume of this international work consisted of two books devoted to the languages of Russia, where the sociolinguistic parameters of all languages of Russia were studied, except for the languages of national minorities. According to this international study of Canadian scientists, it was possible, fi rstly, to clarify the number of written languages of the world, secondly, to create a sociolinguistic classifi cation of world’s languages. However, for objective reasons the work was not completed, and the achievement of the above-mentioned possibilities remains the scientifi c task of the future.

Recent advances and prospects for accelerated development in magnetic particle imaging

The second issue of the sixth volume of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging presents three original research papers spanning theoretical and experimental studies designed to improve various aspects of existing MPI technology. The papers present methods for improving image reconstruction processes during magnetic particle imaging by the adoption of new statistical methods, for reducing artifacts in reconstructed images arising from non-ideal selection-field gradients, and a theoretical study modelling how the magnetic particle imaging signal is influenced by parameters of the nanoparticle tracer including the magnetic anisotropy and core radius. The papers provide a snap-shot of current advances in the engineering of magnetic particle imaging systems, and provide insight into how the development and uptake of the technology can be accelerated.

Windy Wyndham and the Wagon Who Couldn’t Swim by P. Gould

Gould, Peter. Windy Wyndham and the Wagon Who Couldn’t Swim. Bassendean, Western Australia, Peter Gould and Donna Franklin, 2018.
 This is the sixth volume in Peter Gould’s Stories from the Engine Shed series. These books tell the stories of the train engines and cars of the Bennett Brook Railway at Whiteman Park, near Perth in Western Australia. Apart from being a fun series of children’s books, this series is important because it demonstrates that the concept of anthropomorphized train cars is generic and does not belong to any particular franchise. The series has its own cast of characters and a unique Western Australian world in which they operate. While earlier volumes have been set in Whiteman Park, this is a story told by the large diesel locomotive, Windy Wyndham that harkens back to a time when Windy worked at the harbour in the northwestern Australian coastal town of Wyndham. 
 The book is full of Donna Franklin’s brightly coloured pictures. The style of illustration varies significantly, even within pictures. Some of the images, particularly those with machines and people, are quite cartoonish. Drawings of people sometimes lack detail. However, when the subject is something in nature, Franklin’s work is stronger. Her rendition of a turtle, a crocodile, magpie-larks and seahorses are lovely. 
 Each page is a picture with text overprinted. The text includes local references, such as the Freemantle Doctor, the cooling breeze that comes from the Indian Ocean. There are also some railway-specific words, such as “buffer beam”, “shunter”, and “cow catcher.” These words are explained in the glossary, “Ashley’s Railway Words”, at the end of the book. 
 While not widely distributed, the series is available through the Bennett Brook Railway. This volume includes a loose single page insert that explains the history of the real Windy Wyndham engine, which has been at Whiteman Park since 1984. 
 Overall, this is an excellent series, which is suitable for elementary school libraries and public libraries. 
 Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Sandy Campbell

The “Simple” Way to Climb a Racial Mountain

ABSTRACT This essay examines Langston Hughes's vision and cultural politics via his fictional character Jesse B. Semple. Known as the Simple stories, Hughes's sketches were collected in five volumes published during his lifetime, including Simple Speaks His Mind (1950), Simple Takes a Wife (1953), Simple Stakes a Claim (1957), The Best of Simple (1961), and Simple's Uncle Sam (1965). A sixth volume, titled The Return of Simple, was published in 1994. The author examines the stories in relation to his 1926 essay “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain,” and argues that Simple's musings were largely representative of black working-class ethos in the twentieth century. At the same time, the author situates Hughes's stories in the broader context of African diasporic literary and cultural history.
