Les Très Riches Heures et les Heures Bedford

The article presents new stylistic material in support of the discovery (in 2005) that the Bedford Hours were designed in the years 1414-1415, at the same time as the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry. The Bedford Hours would appear to have been made for the dauphin, Louis de Guyenne, in light of the occurrence of several of his emblems under the principle miniatures, as well as the calendar programme, which is inspired by Ovid’s Fasti. The identification of the heraldry in the miniature of the history of the fl eur de lis (f. 288v) by Michel Pastoureau demonstrates that the miniature also represents the coronation of Henry V in 1429 in the presence of Philippe le Bon, Anne de Bourgogne and John de Mowbray, duke of Norfolk and earl marshall.

Distribution of the entodiniomorphid ciliate Troglocorys cava Tokiwa, Modrý, Ito, Pomajbíková, Petrželková, & Imai, , (Entodiniomorphida: Blepharocorythidae) in wild and captive chimpanzees.

Trophozoites of Troglocorys cava were detected in all but one of the wild chimpanzee populations from Rubondo Island (Tanzania), with a prevalence ranging between 20% and 78%. However, the ciliate was absent in all captive groups. Prevalence appeared to increase with the number of sequential samples taken from a particular individual and reached 95.5% in wild individuals sampled at least 4 times.
