Applied Welsh
Simplifies Welsh grammar for intermediate and advanced learners using clear color-coding, bridging the gap between formal rules and informal usage.Self-study grammar reference book for Intermediate/Advanced learners of Welsh. Aimed at learners who often find formal grammar books difficult to follow because of the complicated terminology, it makes everything clear at a glance with the same ingenious, easy-to-understand colour-coding as the author's extremely popular D.I.Y. Welsh. The book looks into why the patterns of Welsh differ so significantly in places from English and many other European languages, focusing on the structures in standard written Welsh, which has more consistent patterns than informal spoken Welsh. While primarily intended for learners moving on from D.I.Y. Welsh, the book will also be useful for fluent or native Welsh speakers who lack confidence when it comes to formal grammar.
Ermolao Barbaro's on Celibacy 1 and 2
This volume offers the first annotated English translation of the first two books of On Celibacy(1473) by the eminent Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93); Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy are presented, along with Barbaro's On the Duty of the Ambassador, in the companion piece to this first volume. Setting out the historical context that crucially conditions Barbaro's advocacy of the celibate life in Books 1 and 2, the introduction examines how On Celibacyseeks to justify a contemplative existence that rejects the career path expected of a figure of Barbaro's standing within the Venetian patrician class. Beyond setting out the essential facts of Ermolao Barbaro's life-story, Gareth Williams discusses how On Celibacy is set in counterpoise to the treatise On Marriage (1415) that was composed by Ermolao's eminent grandfather, Francesco Barbaro. If the latter's treatise was vitally concerned with the institution of marriage as a key factor in the safeguarding of family succession and the stability of patriciate participation in government at Venice, On Celibacy presents an alternative ideal whereby the celibate can proudly renounce civic life in the name of self-discovery and the pursuit of wisdom, his abilities simply unsuited to the rigors of civic life. On Celibacyis thus implicated in a much wider 15th-century debate about the claims of the contemplative as opposed to the active life - a debate that extends all the way back to Graeco-Roman antiquity.
Ermolao Barbaro's on Celibacy 3 and 4 and on the Duty of the Ambassador
This book offers the first annotated translation into English of two works of the eminent Venetian humanist, Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93). Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy seek to justify a contemplative existence at a far remove from the active life and career-path expected of a figure of Barbaro's standing within the Venetian patriciate; Books 1 and 2 of On Celibacy are presented in the companion-piece to this second volume. The second work presented here is Barbaro's short treatise On the Duty of Ambassador (1488): based on Barbaro's own practical experience as a Venetian envoy abroad, this treatise outlines the conduct expected of the dedicated career diplomat. Viewed against each other, Barbaro's On Celibacy and On the Duty of the Ambassador offer contrasting perspectives on the wider 15th-century debate about the claims of the reflective as opposed to the active life - a debate that extends all the way back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In On Celibacy the young Barbaro is committed to a life that proudly renounces civic engagement in the name of self-discovery and inner fulfilment. Yet a different Barbaro asserts himself in On the Duty of the Ambassador: he now presents himself as a committed public servant in a work that is ahead if its time in theorizing the nature of 'modern' Renaissance diplomacy. On a personal level, these two works capture the profound dichotomy in Barbaro's life between his humanist devotion to scholarship on the one hand and, on the other, his call of duty to the Republic of Venice.
Baroque Latinity
This volume addresses the idea of the Baroque in European literature in Latin. With contributions by scholars from various disciplines and countries, and by looking at a range of texts from across Europe, the volume offers case studies to deepen scholarly understanding of this important literary phenomenon and inspire future research. A key aim of the volume is to address the distinctiveness of these texts by interrogating the usefulness and specificity of the term 'Baroque', especially in relation to the classical rules it transgresses to produce effects of grandeur, richness, and exuberance in a range of secular and sacred arts (e.g. music, architecture, painting), as well as various forms of literature (e.g. prose, poetry, drama). The contributors consider how and why Latin writing mutated from earlier humanist paradigms, thus exploring how ideas of 'early modern' and 'Baroque' are related, and examine the interplay of the theory and practice of the 'Baroque', including its debts to and deviations from ancient models, and its limits and limitations.

A Companion to the Aeneid in Translation: Volume 2

For a broad introduction to the many facets of the poem and to its author, Volume 1 is available separately.
Johann Buxtorf, Impresario of Hebrew and Jewish Books
Johann Buxtorf (1564-1629) pursued the study of Hebrew and Aramaic and the writings and rituals of Jewish tradition through a long and productive life as a professor at the University of Basel and an impresario of Jewish texts. The focus of this work is on Buxtorf's scholarly practices -- for example, the ways in which he read and made excerpts from a wide variety of Jewish texts, recycled them in his polemical Juden schul (1603), a treatise on the customs and ceremonies of Ashkenazic Jews, and surveyed them in pioneering if incomplete bibliographies. Using a wide variety of unpublished sources, including letters to Buxtorf from Jewish print professionals, this study follows him into the Basel printing houses that produced books in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish, and reconstructs how he worked there as both an editor and a censor -- even rewriting certain Jewish prayers to eliminate anti-Christian sentiments. Buxtorf took a special interest in the textual history of the Hebrew Bible: he argued that the vowel points and accents had entered its text at a very early stage. This study shows that Buxtorf developed his views in dialogue -- and debate -- with both Jewish and Christian scholars. He often expressed contempt for both the Jews whose texts he read and those whom he occasionally met in Basel, Frankfurt, or elsewhere, yet his passion for Jewish literature of every kind never faltered.
Roger Ascham's Themata Theologica
Roger Ascham is often classified as 'a great mid-Tudor humanist' and he is perhaps best known for his role as tutor to Elizabeth I. His most famous works, The Scholemaster and Toxophilus, have been extensively quarried and anthologised in studies on prose style and English humanism. By contrast, his Neo-Latin works that engaged with theology and key Reformation concerns have languished in the shadows of modern scholarship. Ascham's Themata Theologica('Theological Topics') is one of these, and its content has the potential to open up many an investigative avenue into the intellectual and religious culture of the sixteenth century. This is the first volume to offer a corresponding English translation. The Themata can be dated to the early to mid- 1540s, and was composed by Ascham while still at Cambridge University and serving as a senior fellow at St John's College. The work mainly comprises a compendium of relatively short commentaries on Scriptural verses (both Old and New Testament), many of which developed into expositions on difficult philosophical concepts, such as the notion of felix culpa(literally, 'happy fault') and some of the most intractable theological questions of the day, including the nature of sin, adiaphora ('matters of indifference'), justification and free will. This little-known text offers a rare opportunity to trace the course of Ascham's own religious maturation, but also offers fresh insights into the confessional climate at Cambridge University during one of the most turbulent periods of the Reformation in England.
Der einsame Weg
Das St羹ck spielt um 1900 in Wien. Nach Jahren begegnet der Maler Julian Fichtner wieder Gabriele. Einst hatte er sie verf羹hrt und verlassen, um seine Freiheit als K羹nstler nicht aufzugeben. Sie hat den Akademieprofessor Wegrat geheiratet, hat inzwischen in Felix und Johanna zwei erwachsene Kinder. Keiner ahnt, dass Felix in Wahrheit Julians Sohn ist. Gabriele, die todkrank ist und wei?, dass sie nicht mehr lange zu leben hat, offenbart den Kindern die Wahrheit. Julian hofft, f羹r Felix eine Vaterfigur sein zu k繹nnen, aber dieser bekennt sich zu Wegrat, dem falschen Vater und echten Menschen. Johanna indessen sperrt sich gegen die Zukunft, die ihre Mutter f羹r sie vorbereitet - sie verlobt sich nicht mit dem jungen Arzt Reumann, sondern liebt Herrn von Sala, einen alten Freund der Familie, den sie schon von Kindheit an kennt. Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) war ein 繹sterreichischer Erz瓣hler und Dramatiker. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Moderne.
G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand
G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand ist ein Schauspiel in f羹nf Aufz羹gen von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Das St羹ck gilt als das bekannteste Werk des Sturm und Drang. Als Vorbild der Hauptfigur galt der fr瓣nkisch-schw瓣bische Reichsritter Gottfried "G繹tz" von Berlichingen zu Hornberg (genannt "mit der Eisernen Hand"). G繹tz entstammt der mittelalterlichen Welt des Faust- und Fehderechts, agiert aber auch St瓣nde 羹bergreifend, indem er den Bauern hilft. Mit seiner Figur st繹?t das auf gewachsenem Naturrecht und Treue gegr羹ndete freie Rittertum auf die dem abstrakten r繹mischen Recht verpflichtete Welt des intriganten Adels. Goethes G繹tz beweist zwar einen die historischen Konventionen 羹berwindenden Charakter, seine auf individueller Unabh瓣ngigkeit einerseits und pers繹nlicher Loyalit瓣t andererseits basierende Utopie einer idealen Monarchie lassen ihn jedoch in Konflikt mit der gerade entstehenden b羹rgerlichen Gesellschaft geraten. So k瓣mpft G繹tz von vornherein auf verlorenem Posten. Resigniert muss er letztlich feststellen: Freiheit gibt es nur im Jenseits, die Welt aber ist ein Gef瓣ngnis.

Yale French Studies, Number 144/145
A call to reenvision and de-Westernize French studies and media studies through transmedial examinations of Senegalese cultural production, media practices, and art forms In this double volume of Yale French Studies, editors Doyle D. Calhoun and Cheikh Thiam argue for an intentional expansion of what counts as Francophone African writing through the study of cultural production, media practices, and verbal and visual art forms in Senegal and the Senegalese diaspora today. Drawing on contributions from artists, curators, and writers, this volume shifts critical focus away from works and their authors as privileged meaning-producers to myriad social actors (producers, distributors, consumers) and dispersed networks of production and circulation. The essays gathered here articulate an interdisciplinary call to reenvision and de-Westernize French studies and media studies. The contributors foreground the work of African scholars, artists, and intellectuals; challenge entrenched disciplinary divides; and highlight critical approaches that are transdisciplinary, translingual, and transnational.
