Too beautiful for thieves and pickpockets: a history of the Victorian convict prison on Spike Island

Spike Island holds a unique place among the world’s prisons: a welcome necessity for the prison authorities of Ireland, a remote and dangerous posting for its staff, a grand hell for those convicted to stay behind its walls. For almost four decades the Victorian prison on Spike Island was home to Ireland’s most serious and notorious criminals. Established in the midst of one of the worst famines in global history, this huge facility became the largest prison in what was then the United Kingdom, dwarfing institutions like Dartmoor, Pentonville, Mountjoy and Kilmainham. High death rates during its formative years meant that many of its malnourished inmates were laid to rest beneath its sod. Yet Spike Island was to become a beacon of penal reform, influencing modern correctional systems in countries as far apart as the USA and Germany. The story told in this book is one that is, in turn, dramatic, shocking, touching and humorous. The life of the prison was vibrant, peopled by the unfortunate of the society alongside those who committed serious, sometimes gruesome, crimes. This is the story of the establishment and evolution of the prison over 36 years, the often fascinating lives of prisoners and staff and of a time when a renowned Irish fortress of British military power entered the annals of penal infamy.

Verteilungsmuster der Mesofauna im hohen Ober-Hauterive Nordwestdeutschlands

The vertical distribution pattem of mesofaunal elements is described from clay-marl bedding rhythms from the Frielingen section (Hannover, NW Germany), which exposes latest Hau- terivian sediments (early Cretaceous). Some mesofaunal groups show a correlation with the pale- dark bedding rhythms. The pale, marly beds are chracterised by bryozoans. In addition remnants of crinoids, echinoids, asteroids, ophiuroids and holothuroids are more common in pale layers than in dark ones. Converseley, the relative abundance of serpulids, fish remains, bivalves and gastropods shows no relationship to the bedding rhythms.

La acepción trascendente del refrigerium cristiano: entre el agua y el infierno

El término refrigerium tuvo una doble significación en el cristianismo antiguo: una de carácter físico y material, que derivó de una tradición pagana anterior (“refrescar” al muerto), y otra de naturaleza etérea y sobrenatural que fue producto de un desarrollo etimológico habido en el seno del propio cristianismo (“alcanzar la salvación eterna”). Esta última significación ha pasado en general más desapercibida que la anterior en la historiografía moderna, como si se aceptara que aquélla fue la genuina del término en cuestión, o la más extendida. Este trabajo pretende justamente mostrar que esto no fue exactamente así, y que el contexto semántico de la significación sobrenatural del refrigerium cristiano fue bastante más elevado que el otro. El análisis nos mostrará de paso la función simbólica que tuvo el agua en el cristianismo primitivo.
