Bongars Quellenwerk zur Geschichte der Kreuzzüge

ln seinen letzten Lebensjahren gab Jacques Bongars (1554-1612) unter dem Titel Gesta Dei per Francos (Gottes Taten durch die Franken) eine zweibändige Sammlung von mittelalterlichen Texten zu den Kreuzzügen heraus, die 1611 im Verlagshaus Wechel in Hanau erschien. Er stellte in seinem Quellenwerk gegen zwanzig Texte verschiedenster Autoren zusammen, von denen viele zum ersten Mal überhaupt gedruckt wurden. Der zweite Band enthält ausschliesslich die Geschichte der Kreuzzüge des Venezianers Marino Sanudo d. Ä. (ca. 1270-ca. 1343). Diese Schrift mit dem Titel Liber secretorum fidelium crucis ist wissenschaftsgeschichtlich bedeutend aufgrund der darin enthaltenen Karten: einer Weltkarte, einer Karte von Ägypten (bzw. des östlichen Mittelmeeres und des Roten Meeres), einer Karte des Heiligen Landes sowie der Stadtpläne von Akkon und Jerusalem.

Delay of cortical thinning in very preterm born children

Objective: Cortical gray matter thinning takes place during childhood due to pruning of inefficient synaptic connections and an increase in myelination. Alterations in brain structure occur in very preterm born children with prolonged maturation of the frontal lobes and smaller cortical and white matter volume. These findings give rise to the question if age affects cortical thinning differently in very preterm born children compared to controls. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between age and cortical thickness in very preterm born children when compared to controls. Participants and Methods: Forty-one very preterm born children (<32 weeks gestational age and/or < 1500 gram birth weight) and 30term born controls were included in the study (7-12 years). The automated surface reconstruction software FreeSurfer was applied to obtain measurements of cortical thickness based on T1-weighted MRI images. Results: Cortical thickness was lower in bilateral frontal and left parietal regions and higher in left temporal gyri in very preterm born children compared to controls. However, these differences depended on age. In very preterm born children, age correlated negatively with cortical thickness in right frontal, parietal and inferior temporal regions. Accordingly, cortical thickness was higher in young compared to old very preterm born children in bilateral frontal, parietal and temporal regions. In controls, age was not associated with cortical thickness. Conclusions: In very preterm born children, cortical thinning still occurs between the age of 7 and 12 years, mainly in frontal and parietal areas. In controls, however, a substantial part of cortical thinning appears to be completed in these regions before they reach the age of 7 years. These data indicate a delay in cortical thinning in very preterm born children.

Aristeas the Tourist

"Herodotus the Tourist" was the title given by James Redfield to his inquiry into Herodotus's ethnological system (Classical Philology, 80.2, 1985: 97-118). Redfield's insights, together with François Hartog's monograph The mirror of Herodotus (University of California Press, 1988), definitively modified our interpretation of Herodotus's Histories. In the present paper, I analyse the so-called Letter of Aristeas from a narratological perspective, suggesting that the anonymous author of the Letter deliberately constructed his main character ("Aristeas") as a Herodotus-like figure, who visits Judea and Jerusalem as yet another "tourist". In so-doing, the author's pseudo-ethnographic text produces a specific Jewish self-definition and identity in the Hellenistic period, mirroring both Greek representations of the Jews as a people of philosophers, and a Jewish interpretation of the ideal bios philosophikos, best typified through the Jewish compliance with the Mosaic legislation.
