The eight volumes of letters writ by a Turkish spy, who liv'd five and forty years undiscover'd at Paris: giving an impartial account to the Divan at Constantinople, of the most remarkable transactions of Europe: and, discovering several intrigues and secrets of the Christian courts (especially of that of France) continued from the year 1637, to the year 1682 /

Authorities agree that the first part of the work, published in Paris 1684, was written by Marana. The remainder has been ascribed to different Englishmen, among them Dr. Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw. It is probable however that Midgley simply edited the English translation, made by Bradshaw, of the original Italian manuscript. cf. ESTC.

Data compilation on the biological response to ocean acidification: environmental and experimental context of data sets and related literature

The exponential growth of studies on the biological response to ocean acidification over the last few decades has generated a large amount of data. To facilitate data comparison, a data compilation hosted at the data publisher PANGAEA was initiated in 2008 and is updated on a regular basis (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.149999). By January 2015, a total of 581 data sets (over 4 000 000 data points) from 539 papers had been archived. Here we present the developments of this data compilation five years since its first description by Nisumaa et al. (2010). Most of study sites from which data archived are still in the Northern Hemisphere and the number of archived data from studies from the Southern Hemisphere and polar oceans are still relatively low. Data from 60 studies that investigated the response of a mix of organisms or natural communities were all added after 2010, indicating a welcomed shift from the study of individual organisms to communities and ecosystems. The initial imbalance of considerably more data archived on calcification and primary production than on other processes has improved. There is also a clear tendency towards more data archived from multifactorial studies after 2010. For easier and more effective access to ocean acidification data, the ocean acidification community is strongly encouraged to contribute to the data archiving effort, and help develop standard vocabularies describing the variables and define best practices for archiving ocean acidification data.

¿Alessandro Geraldini antiquitatum indagator? Su papel en los estudios epigráficos de inicios del s. XVI

El interés del humanista italiano Alessandro Geraldini (1455-1524) por los monumenta antiquitatis (y especialmente por las inscripciones romanas) se pone de manifiesto en su Itinerarium ad regiones sub aequinoctiali plaga constitutas, compuesto al final de su vida. Analizamos aquí la información anticuaria contenida en su obra; señalamos por primera vez las fuentes epigráficas utilizadas como hipotexto en su Itinerarium, identificamos la síloge epigráfica de donde conoció dichos textos y, finalmente, valoramos su participación efectiva en los estudios epigráficos llevados a cabo durante su larga permanencia en España (ante 1475-1519).

Select Document: Sir George Radcliffe’s “Original of Government” (1639) and Absolutist Political Theory in Stuart Ireland

A seventeenth-century manuscript miscellany, which once belonged to Archbishop James Ussher of Armagh, contains a short treatise on the origins of government by Sir George Radcliffe. Radcliffe was legal assistant to Sir Thomas Wentworth, lord deputy of Ireland (from January 1640 earl of Strafford and lord lieutenant). The treatise insisted on the divine origin of all human political power and implied that the best form of government was absolute monarchy, in which the monarch was free of all human law and subject to divine restraint alone. It will be suggested below that the composition of this treatise can be dated to the summer of 1639. This introduction will offer an outline of Radcliffe’s education and political career, explain the genesis of his treatise on government, point out some pertinent aspects of its argument, and finally assess the document’s significance.

A misericórdia do Porto e os seus hospitais como centros de formação de cirurgiões (1639-1825)

Desde o início do século XVI que a Coroa portuguesa investiu na regulação das “artes da cura”, de formação académica mas também empírica, com o propósito de organizar um campo em completa desordem, de que resultavam “grandes perdas para o reino”. No entanto, a estrutura então criada assentou em entidades concorrenciais, com poderes sobrepostos e em permanente conflito, elementos determinantes para o estudo da construção das profissões de saúde no período moderno. Entre estas, o domínio era dos cirurgiões, que aprendiam pela prática quotidiana, às vezes em contexto hospitalar. O hospital administrado pela Misericórdia do Porto foi um dos principais centros formadores de cirurgiões a nível nacional, condição que, por sua vez, facilitava o acesso à carreira de examinador. Como se organizava o ensino da cirurgia no hospital da Misericórdia do Porto? Quem foram os seus professores e quantos alunos licenciaram? Que redes construíram e como as geriram? Serão estas algumas das questões a que se procurará dar resposta na presente comunicação. O trabalho a apresentar assume‑se como uma mera abordagem preliminar e exploratória a uma base de dados que reúne cerca de 20 mil licenças para o exercício de várias profissões de saúde, em Portugal e no Império, atribuídas e/ou reconhecidas por diferentes organismos da administração central entre os finais do século XV e 1825, ano em que, através das Escolas Medico‑Cirurgicas, se constituiu um novo paradigma de formação de cirurgiões. Basicamente serão testadas as relações entre o hospital e outras entidades com competências para examinar praticantes de cirurgia, perscrutando‑se a influência de possíveis círculos pessoais e profissionais bem como o seu raio de acção. O objectivo principal será o de procurar padrões de actuação e identificar tendências dominantes que permitam construir hipóteses de análise que possam ser aplicadas a todo o país.
