For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Conference object 2016 United Kingdom EnglishAuthors: Harrington, N;Harrington, N;Mortuary (as opposed to funerary) banquet scenes were commonly depicted on the walls of Egyptian tombs of the Eighteenth Dynasty. They show the tomb-owner and his wife before a table of offerings in the company of family and friends; the presence of musicians and servants differentiates this particular scene style from other depictions of offering found in these and in later New Kingdom paintings. Banqueting in the presence of the dead was part of elite cultic activity centred on the ancestors, which took place at Thebes and possibly other sites including Memphis and Elkab. Whether poorer social classes took part in comparable feasting is not clear from textual or archaeological sources, although there are indications that non-elites may have had some form of mortuary cult as evidenced at the Amarna South Tombs Cemetery.In this paper, the ideals presented in banquet scenes will be discussed along with evidence for feasting in the vicinity of tombs, with particular reference to Deir el-Medina and the Theban necropolis. Much research has been published on the paintings themselves, particularly by Lise Manniche who emphasizes their sexual aspects. However, the scenes not only reflect the concern for rebirth suggested by sensual imagery, but, perhaps more importantly, the part the relatives and friends of the deceased were expected to play in the maintenance of the tomb-owner's cult.

Dieser Artikel enthält einen ersten Überblick über die Quellen, die für eine Untersuchung der Bedeutung von Feuern in städtischen Gegenden relevant sind. Material findet sich beispielsweise in Geschichtswerken wie Ibn Kathirs 'Der Anfang und das Ende' oder in juristischen Abhandlungen. Die meisten Feuer, die in diesen Quellen behandelt werden, sind im Zuge von Unruhen bzw. während kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen entstanden, oder durch Unfälle auf Märkten. Der Artikel setzt sich auch mit der Frage auseinander, inwieweit Feuer in das allgemeine Muster von Katastrophendiskursen in der mittelalterlichen arabischen Literatur passen. Considering the building materials and climatic conditions in the medieval Middle East, fires must have been a major problem. This article provides a first survey of sources which are relevant for studying the impact of fires in urban environments. Evidence can be found, for example, in historiographies such as Ibn Kathir's 'The Beginning and the End', or in legal discussions. Most fires mentioned in these sources were caused during riots or war, or by accidents in markets. The article also analyses how far fires fit into the general pattern of discussions around disasters in medieval Arabic literature. Historical Social Research Vol. 32, No. 3 (2007)

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Conference object 2016 United Kingdom EnglishAuthors: Crover, S;Crover, S;The extensive glossaries accompanying each section of Edmund Spenser's The Shepheardes Calender required explanation, even to Spenser's contemporaries. Including glossaries in non-English texts, such as the works of Virgil, was standard practice, but The Shepheardes Calender was the first example on an English text that included a glossary of English terms. Moreover, there is something particularly unusual about the nature of glossing in this text. Two controversies surround these glossaries: scholars continue to debate both the identity of the mysterious E. K., and the provenance of the "old and obsolete" terms he glosses for Spenser's readership. But whether they believe E. K. to be a Spenserian fiction or a separate editor, scholars agree in situating Spenser/E. K. as a faithful lexicographer who occasionally (and inadvertently) errs in his definitions. Examinations of the glossing in this text typically focus on the nature of E.K.'s explanations of character and symbolism or try to reveal his true identity by matching his use of language against contemporary authors. In this paper, I depart from current approaches by examining how and why E.K. glosses the words he does in The Shepheardes Calender. While it has been argued that, on occasion, E.K. either seems to explain the obvious or appears to mistranslate (most recently by the editors of the Yale Edition of the shorter poems), I contend that E.K. is neither a pedantic nor even a bumbling translator of terms, but is advancing, in effect, a careful agenda: if all glossary making is, by nature, an interested activity, Spenser/E.K.'s agenda is unusually deliberate. Using the origins, usage, and incidence of two glossed words – stoure and coronal – in Early English Books Online and the online edition of the Oxford English Dictionary as examples, I reveal how E.K. presents meaning as uncovered rather than created, while assiduously promoting the traditional "Englishness" of Spenser's "harsh tearmes." That is, I argue that E.K. is an insincere glosser: through him, Spenser is deliberately reinventing the English lexicon by means of a constructed "oldspeak"(Maley), employing manufactured meanings to allow himself scope for his own ideological impulses toward both English linguistic purity and literary canonization.

The story of the ownership of dictionaries is a different matter. This paper will address two principal questions. First, which dictionaries, printed in England or abroad, appear to have been most widely owned in England before 1700? (The evidence to be examined in answering this question includes personal and institutional inventories, auction catalogues, and ownership marks in surviving copies). Second, to what extent is it possible to differentiate ownership and use: which dictionaries were most frequently cited? Were any marked up by readers? It is never possible to get definitive answers to questions like this about the early history of book ownership and reading, and this will necessarily be an exploratory paper, but it will at least give some indication of the dictionaries which really mattered in early modern England - which may not be identical with those which have received the most scholarly attention in recent decades.
