Extractions: Realism and Eclecticism in Alexandrian Art: Some Aspects Sfumato, genere e realismo, sono le definizioni più note per la plastica artistica di Alessandria. Mentre, poco nota è l'eredità del "classico", sia come tradizione dei filoni culturali del IV sec. a.C., sia come rivisitazione "neoclassica" del passato, sia, e di più, come sperimentazione nuova, di gusto "eclettico".

Extractions: Full Review A few months ago I started reading travel books by gay and lesbian authors because I'm unable to travel myself; it's nothing physical, just a severe shortage of cash. I settled for Edward Morgan Forster, who may be better known for A Passage To India and A Room With A View , but he knows how to describe countries and places very well. This new edition combining Alexandria: A History And A Guide and Pharos And Pharillon is one of the most interesting reads I've come across in a long time. Both of these books are well worth reading on their own; they're interesting for no other reason that they were written as a tribute to one of the world's eternal cities by one of the Twentieth Century's greatest novelists During the First World War Forster volunteered for service in the Red Cross and was stationed in Alexandria, Egypt. He tells us that he arrived in 1915 and immediately fell in love with the magic, antiquity and complexity of a city he soon called his own. He was determined to write a guidebook and we are all the better off for it. He also found an Arab lover, but that's for a bit later on. I'll take the books on one at a time starting with The Guide.

Extractions: And outside they foolishly amuse themselves with impious playing, and amatory quavering , occupied with flute-playing Book III. Book III. Chapter I.-On the True Beauty. It is then, as appears, the greatest of all lessons to know one's self. For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be made like God, not by wearing gold or long robes, but by well-doing, and by requiring as few things as possible. Now, God alone is in need of nothing, and rejoices most when He sees us bright with the ornament of intelligence ; and then, too, rejoices in him who is arrayed in chastity, the sacred stole of the body. Since then the soul consists of three divisions; the intellect , which is called the reasoning faculty , is the inner man , which is the ruler of this man that is seen. And that one, in another respect, God guides. But the irascible part , being brutal, dwells near to insanity And appetite , which is the third department, is many-shaped above Proteus, the varying sea-god, who changed himself now into one shape, now into another; and it allures to adulteries, to licentiousness, to seductions.
Leukippe And Kleitophon
Kleitophon has been living in alexandria, in no small part due to the effortsof menelaus. Kleitophon s grief for Leukippe has begun to fade.
http://chss2.montclair.edu/classics/Petronius/Leucippe.html

Extractions: Book I Introduction. The romance begins with information about Sidon, where the first narrator has put in after barely escaping from a violent storm. After making an offering to Astarte, he goes site-seeing, and comes to a picture of Zeus abducting Europa, which receives a vivid ecphrasis. As the narrator comments aloud concerning the power of Eros (here depicted as a child), a young man says "How well I know it, for all the indignities Eros has made me endure." Intrigued, the narrator invites the young man, who in fact is Kleitophon, the hero of the romance, to sit down and tell him his story. Achilles Tatius never returns to this frame narrative. Kleitophon first tells how he was born in Tyre; his father was Hippias and his half-sister was Kalligone. His uncle Sostratos lived in Byzantium. Hippias had planned for Kleitophon to wed Kalligone now that he was nineteen years old, but clearly the fates had different plans, which they perhaps signaled to Kleitophon by a dream in which he and his prospective bride, whose bodies were grown together, were separated by a sickle-wielding woman who looked rather like a fury. Soon Sostratos sends his wife Pantheia and his daughter Leukippe to his brother Hippias, so that they will be safe; a war with Thrace has put Byzantium in danger. Kleitophon falls in love with Leukippe at first glance; there is no sense that she fall in love with him at this moment, however. During that evening's dinner party and after going to bed, the flames of love grow ever greater within the tormented Kleitophon.

Extractions: Mathematical Techniques Tour (Next) Mathematical Techniques Pages Mathematical Explanations Logarithms Spherical Trigonometry Home Index Mathematics is and always has been of central importance to astronomy. As soon as observations became quantified the possibility for calculation and prediction based on observations was open to astronomers. Mathematical developments were both applied to and motivated by astronomical calculations, and many of the most famous astronomers were also mathematicians and vice versa. Although techniques have become increasingly complex, the majority of mathematical astronomical techniques are concerned with positioning and calculation of relative distances of heavenly bodies. The basis of this is spherical trigonometry , which allows calculations on the celestial sphere based on observations taken from an observer on earth. The projection of the celestial sphere onto a flat surface allowed the construction of instruments such as the astrolabe and the mapping of the heavens. Techniques for increasingly accurate calculation were crucial to the development of astronomy as an exact science. It must be borne in mind, however, that not everyone studying or using astronomy was aware of or capable of applying the latest mathematical techniques. For example, there is evidence of a monk in northern France in the twelfth century positioning stars relative to architectural landmarks in his monastery, such as the windows along the dormitory wall.
