    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Department for English and American Studies), course: Historical Linguistics and Medieval English Studies, language: English, abstract: Much time and ink has been spent on the study of the so called Beowulf manuscript which nowadays constitutes the presumably 'most discussed' (LUCAS 1990: 363) Old English manuscript. Contained in this manuscript is the apocryphal Letter of Alexander to Aristotle that will be central to this paper. The multitude of medieval manuscripts (cf. GUNDERSON 1980: 48) of the Letter leave little doubt that it certainly belongs to some of the 'most successful literary impostures of the medieval ages' (RYPINS 1971: xliii). However, its Anglo-Saxon version 'has excited little attention over the years' (ORCHARD 1995: 116).Scholar's interest seems to have been much more with the study of the earlier Latin form of the manuscript (RYPINS 1971: xxx): the Epistola Alexandri ad Aristotelem, which seems to derive from an older Greek version (cf. GUNDERSON 1980: 48). The version of the Letter dealt with here is a copy of an earlier (and apparently lost) Old English translation of the Latin Epistola: Thus 'it is at least twice removed from the Latin' (Rypins xxxvii).It is my purpose to show within this paper that neither the various monstrous beings (vs. SISAM 1962: 96) nor their 'aggression as a particular problem for foreign rulers' (vs. POWELL 2006: 1) that are most commonly said to be the connecting theme of the 'community of manuscripts' of the Norwell Codex are the central aspects of the Letter.Until further studies prove me wrong, we may assume that the Anglo-Saxon scribe consciously altered the Latin Epistola in a way as to ply the reader's attention to the biblical view on Alexander. He did so by opting for biblical phrasings rather than those found in the Epistola. Thus the Letter stresses that Alexander indeed is an paradigm of superbia, as ORCHARD suggests (1995: 135): an eordcyning 'earthly king',who does not accept his limits and rather than being content with his glory (cf. II Regum 14:104) provokes malum. This interpretation perfectly harmonizes withPOWELL's suggestion that 'Wonders [.], the Letter [.], and Beowulf form an ideal core for a collection focused on rulership' (POWELL 2006: 15).Beginning with a rather short introduction to the Norwell Codex and the discussion concerning its thematic unity (ch. 2) I shall focus my attention to the Christian dimension of the Letter (ch. 3). Countering SISAM (1962:88) I shall argue that the Letter indeed serves a moralizing function. …

    Gebundene Ausgabe, Gr.8°. Condition: Neu. 1. 292 S. Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt. Der Band erarbeitet aus einer systematischen Doppelperspektive heraus das Verhältnis von Imagination, räumlicher Wahrnehmung und subjektiver Selbstverortung für die Zeit um 1800. Die bisher vorherrschenden, epistemologisch ausgerichteten Studien zur Subjekt-Raum-Relation der Sattelzeit werden durch gnoseologisch bzw. phänomenologisch verfahrende Analysen von literarischen und piktoralen Darstellungen der subjektiven Selbstverortung um 1800 produktiv ergänzt. Dabei zeigt sich ein doppeltes Tableau dieser Zeit: Während auf der einen Seite eher epistemologisch fundierte Werke stehen, in denen sich das Subjekt seinen eigenen, fiktionsgesättigten Raum erschreibt (Rousseau, Goethe, Coleridge), stehen auf der anderen Seite Texte und Modelle, in denen das Subjekt versucht, sich dadurch zu verorten, dass es diese Räume ausschreitet und deren ästhetische Potenziale ausreizt (Nodier, Chateaubriand, Foscolo). Dieses imaginative Ausschreiten der Räume geschieht zum einen unter Rückgriff auf tradierte, aber jeweils auf spezifische Weise aktualisierte Subjekttechnologien, und produziert zum anderen neue Formen der Erzählung bzw. des Erzählens, in denen das Subjekt danach strebt, sich seiner als ganzer Mensch bewusst zu werden. Auch wenn diese Formen tendenziell inkonsistent bleiben und nur durch die immanente Logik als ,Fließtext' oder ,Vision' gefasst werden können, so markieren sie doch Ausprägungen einer spezifischen Raum-Ästhetik, in der sich das Subjekt um 1800 zu verorten trachtet.

Probabilistic tsunami hazard and risk assessment (abbreviated as PTHA and PTRA, respectively) has evolved quickly over the past 10 to 15 years and now forms the basis of many risk mitigation efforts. Methods are largely based on those used for probabilistic hazard and risk assessment for earthquakes. However, while seismic risk can be represented by a single workflow, tsunami risk is characterized by a number of different and cascading workflows. Funded in parts by the COST Action CA18109 AGITHAR (2019-2023), a group of more than 120 experts gathered to advance the scientific basis for PTHA and PTRA. Amongst them were over 50 volunteering to contribute to this so-called cookbook for PTHA and PTRA.The aim of our cookbook is to give an overview of existing methods for PTHA and PTRA, to unify the description of named workflows, and to make best practices examples available to a wider community.

However, its Anglo-Saxon version ¿has excited little attention over the years¿ (ORCHARD 1995: 116).Scholar's interest seems to have been much more with the study of the earlier Latin form of the manuscript (RYPINS 1971: xxx): the Epistola Alexandri ad Aristotelem, which seems to derive from an older Greek version (cf. GUNDERSON 1980: 48). The version of the Letter dealt with here is a copy of an earlier (and apparently lost) Old English translation of the Latin Epistola: Thus ¿it is at least twice removed from the Latin¿ (Rypins xxxvii).It is my purpose to show within this paper that neither the various monstrous beings (vs. SISAM 1962: 96) nor their ¿aggression as a particular problem for foreign rulers¿ (vs. POWELL 2006: 1) that are most commonly said to be the connecting theme of the 'community of manuscripts' of the Norwell Codex are the central aspects of the Letter.Until further studies prove me wrong, we may assume that the Anglo-Saxon scribe consciously altered the Latin Epistola in a way as to ply the reader's attention to the biblical view on Alexander. He did so by opting for biblical phrasings rather than those found in the Epistola. Thus the Letter stresses that Alexander indeed is an paradigm of superbia, as ORCHARD suggests (1995: 135): an eordcyning 'earthly king',who does not accept his limits and rather than being content with his glory (cf. II Regum 14:104) provokes malum. This interpretation perfectly harmonizes withPOWELL's suggestion that ¿Wonders [.], the Letter [.], and Beowulf form an ideal core for a collection focused on rulership¿ (POWELL 2006: 15).Beginning with a rather short introduction to the Norwell Codex and the discussion concerning its thematic unity (ch. 2) I shall focus my attention to the Christian dimension of the Letter (ch. 3). Countering SISAM (1962:88) I shall argue that the Letter indeed serves a moralizing function.GRIN Publishing GmbH, Waltherstraße 23, 80337 München 28 pp. Englisch. …
