The Town

A lack of knowledge of the history of architecture and town planning in the 19th century resulted in underrated regard towards this historic period and consequently in a devastation of urban and architectural heritage of the 19th century. This research was intended to clarify some segments of the history of architecture and town planning in the 19th century based on the example of Subotica. Research has shown that the basic types of ground floor houses built during the 19th century in Subotica were mutually compatible and that by a simple addition of rooms on the simple base house, more complex base houses could be built. In the same way rural houses could also be transformed into urban ones. This pattern allowed for utmost rationality of the construction of individual houses as well as of the whole town. The town, due to the application of compatible house plans, reflected a semblance of order which improved year on year, because every house at any given moment represented a finished structure. Simple attachment of building parts also allowed the houses that were located in the middle of the lot to be elongated to the street regulation line. Compatible house plans, as an auxiliary means, facilitated the application of building rules, the realization of regulation plans and provided continuous development of the town of Subotica in the period of over 150 years.

The main focus of this chapter is the highly valued work done by the architect Francesco Pieroni at the Ministero delle Finanze in Rome. This contribution can to attribute to Pieroni various drawings and numerous modine, i.e. real scale cardboard templates of various shapes used in the realization phases of the mouldings. Pieroni's activity represents, in the Roman context, one of the first applications of typical 16th century mouldings, to modern and prefabricated metal bar structures, spreading in the 70's of the 19th century. The construction companies were resilient to agree for changes in building techniques due to a lack of expertise. The realization of the Ministero is a case study of this phenomenon. The archival research developed casts new light on the numerous modifications carried out by Peroni during construction phases, which demonstrate the accuracy employed by the architect in designing the stuccos. The chapter analyses two different types of archive documents: the report Spoglio modificazioni lavori di stucco, and the examples of modine authored by Pieroni.

This paper analyzes the so-called Ibn Masʿūd ḥadīth (see below) on two levels: the specific wording of the ḥadīth on the one hand and a significant portion of the commentation written about it since the 10th century until today on the other. This aims at three things. First, I will show how the ḥadīth’s exact wording still developed after the stabilization of the material in collections. Although this development occurred only on the level of single words, it can be shown that it is a reflection of discussions documented in the commentaries. Therefore, these specific examples show that there was not always a clear line separating between ḥadīth text and commentaries on that text. Second, the diachronic analysis of the commentaries will provide material for a nuanced assessment in how far major icons of commentation such as Nawawī and Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī significantly influenced following generations in composing their respective commentaries. Third, I will argue that in the specific case study provided here significant changes in the commentation can be witnessed since the second half of the 19th century which are caused by the spread of basic common medical knowledge in that period.

The beginning of the article briefly outlines the history of Jindřichův Hradec from its foundation through its development in the 15th century and especially in the 16th century, until the 19th century, when the Landfras printing works functioned in the town. Afterwards, the article focuses on the Landfras family of printers and its work in Jindřichův Hradec. It deals with the founder of the printing works, Josef Jan Landfras (1869–1840), as well as with his family background and his public activities. Most attention is devoted to his successor, Alois Landfras (1797–1875), who became one of the most remarkable figures in the history of Jindřichův Hradec, because he was very actively involved in social events in the town. From 1841, he was a member of the town council; ten years later, he was elected mayor and remained in the position for ten years. His private and family life is marginally mentioned as well. The last member of the family active in the 19th century was Vilém Antonín Landfras (1830–1902), who was also a member of the town council. Thanks to him, the weekly Ohlas od Nežárky [Echoes from the River Nežárka] began to be published in the town in 1871. The article further mentions his important role in the organisation of the social entertainment of burghers and his family life. The end of the paper is devoted to his son, Vilém Bohumil Landfras (1865–1931), whose work falls into the first third of the 20th century.

This article contributes to the history of obstetrics as it was performed in the context of general practice during the 19th century. It focuses on the Swiss physician Cäsar Adolf Bloesch (1804–1863) from the town of Biel, Canton Bern. Drawing upon Bloesch’s extensive practice records, it raises the question whether this physician participated in the local market for obstetrical activities. Furthermore, the paper tries to make an estimate about the importance this field of action took for Bloesch’s practice. To achieve this, results of a smaller study about obstetrical cases within the practice records during the years 1832 to 1850 are being presented. I will argue that physicians like Bloesch were aware of the problems obstetrics brought with it, and as a consequence, he tried to limit it in favor of his general practice.

This study intends to examine leather craft, an applied art that has not well studied in the context of Catalan Modernisme as well as raise awareness about its use for production and design of Modernista furniture and interior decoration. This handicraft, that had been in decline in the Catalan sphere since the 18th century, reappeared in Barcelona in the last quarter of the 19th century, due to the Modernista movement and the renaissance of medieval crafts. Thus, new workshops were created and their processes were modernized according to industrial progress. We will highlight the Miguel Fargas and Vilaseca Factory, which will manage to industrialize this handricraft, becoming one of the few internationally known manufacturers. We will try to illustrate the history of this office by analyzing this case study, since it reveals an interesting part of the panorama of decorative arts in Modernista Barcelona.

This paper aims to trace the history of colonial urban planning in Nigerian cities, its legacies of urban design and beautification of the environment. In Nigeria the town planning institutional frame works was established under the colonial rule which persisted to the post colonial period. In this sense the colonial era was a phase in which European institutions and values systems were transferred to Nigeria, one of which is the concept of environmental beautification with the use of plants. An investigation is carried out on the influence of colonial rule on landscaping and urban design. Findings show that the introduction of deliberate landscaping to city planning have over the years systematically led to loss of valuable indigenous plants partly due to the introduction of exotic plants. These are plants that initially were seen as sources of cure for several ailments. There is therefore the need for a rethink as to the type of plants to be used for landscaping.

The article deals with the history of the emergence and development of the first high schools in Tomsk. The architectural aspect associated with the provision of the high schools with their own buildings adapted to the educational process is described, which, in turn, affected the formation of the architectural appearance of Tomsk.Late in the 19th century, eclecticism characterized by a mixture of different styles, became the dominant architectural trend in the appearance of buildings in Tomsk. One of the trends in eclecticism was the brick style, according to which the educational institutions were built most of all, including the Mariinsky women's and provincial men's high schools.The relevance of the study is conditioned by the problems of preserving the architectural heritage of the second half of the 19th century in relation to the historical center of the city, which is an important cultural and educational factor.The purpose of this work is to study the brick style architecture of the first high schools in Tomsk. The study is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity. The specific historical methods include a study of bibliographic and comparative sources and methods of architectural analysis of the cultural objects.It is shown that the activities of a number of architects resulted in a unique architectural heritage of the 19th century, forming the architectural appearance of the historical part of Tomsk. The results of this study are reported at the meeting of Pushkin Historical Society.

The Bronze Age

The Italian resort of Bordighera, on the Riviera close by the French border, still has a little to show from the time, a century ago, when its British population-at least in the winter ‘invalid season’- ran to more than 3,000 and outnumbered the native Italians. The Hotel T. Windsor (‘T’ stands for tennis; the Bordighera tennis club, founded by the British, is the oldest in Italy) flourishes; prim municipal notices-‘A polite behaviour will be enjoyable for everybody’ and ‘Free bathing, clean holidays’-assert Edwardian proprieties. And tucked away in a side-street among the villas, its pink-washed facade frothing with wisteria, stands the Museo Bicknell, built in 1886 by an English amateur botanist, Clarence Bicknell. His foundation continues as the regional research institute, the Istituto lnternazionale di Studi Liguri. Clarence Bicknell (1842-1918) appears in none of the histories of archaeology, but his work deserves to be remembered. His study of the bronze age rockengravings of Mont BCgo, in the Maritime Alps above Bordighera, was the first adequate work on an Alpine rock-art tradition, and the forerunner of the astonishing discoveries over the last 30 years in Valcamonica (Anati, 1961; 1980), at Sion (Gallay, 1972) and now in the Aosta valley (Daniel, 1983). Bicknell's life and work, beyond its intrinsic interest, is an illuminating case-study in the history of the discipline, during that crucial late 19thcentury period when antiquarianism was everywhere giving way to the new science-based archaeology. Finally, Bicknell-though not in the major league with Buckland or Petrie-in his quiet way deserves a place in the gallery of archaeological characters.

Artikkeli käsittelee suomentamiseen liittyviä ideologioita ja normeja 1800-luvun tietokirjallisuudessa. Tapaustutkimuksena on Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiön tietokirjojen suomennostoiminta 1800-luvun lopulla. Tutkimus kytkeytyy kääntämisen sosiologiaan ja historiaan, ja siinä arvioidaan myös, miten ja missä määrin historiallisia käännösprosesseja voidaan rekonstruoida. Käännösprosesseja lähestytään tarkastelemalla eri toimijoiden − kustantaja, kääntäjä, kieliasiantuntija, tekstin arvioija − osuutta käännösprosessissa. Tutkimuksen aineistona on kustantajan ja kääntäjän kääntämistä ja kielellisiä valintoja käsittelevä kirjeenvaihto, jonka avulla on mahdollista valottaa eri suunnista kääntäjän arkea, yhteisöllisiä arvoja ja normeja käännösvalintojen taustalla sekä niitä henkilökohtaisia asenteita, jotka ohjaavat kääntäjiä erilaisiin valintoihin. Analyysin tuloksena voi päätellä, että ammattikirjoittajina kääntäjät olivat hyvin tietoisia erilaisista kielellisistä ja kääntämiseen liittyvistä normeista. Käytännön työssä kääntäjät toimivat kuitenkin usein erilaisten normien ristipaineessa, jolloin vastakkain asettuivat esimerkiksi alkuteoksen luonteen säilyttäminen ja toisaalta sen kotouttaminen. Kääntäjät olivat myös tietoisia kielen vaihtelevista normeista, tunsivat käynnissä olevat kielikeskustelut ja mukauttivat herkästi kielenkäyttöään kulloinkin vallitsevien kirjakielen normien mukaiseksi.   Norms and ideologies of translation in light of correspondence between publisher and translator in 19th-century Finland This article analyses the ideologies and norms that guided the translation of works of non-fiction in 19th-century Finland. As a case study the article analyses the processes involved in the publication of non-fiction at the Werner Söderström Ltd publishing house at the end of the 19th century. The research takes as its base theories examining the sociology and history of translation. It also aims to evaluate how and to what extent historical translation processes can be reconstructed. Translation is approached as a collaborative process involving various actors: publisher, translator, language editor, and expert reader. The data consists of correspondence between publisher and translator that deals with matters of translation or language. This correspondence sheds light on the everyday life of the translator and the socially accepted norms and ideologies that guide the translation process. It also reveals the stance of publishers concerning the choice of translator, a factor that can lead to very different end products. The analysis shows that, as professional writers, translators at the end of the 19th century were well aware of contemporary translational norms. In practice, translators were caught between various conflicting pressures – regarding, for instance, questions such as whether one should follow the original text as close as possible to preserve its unique style or assimilate the text to a Finnish context to help the reader. The data also shows that translators were well aware of linguistic norms; they were acquainted with current and past debates, and in assimilating their use of language they remained sensitive to prevailing norms.

The presentation of six maps – cases that provide an insight into the history of Poland in the 19th century, and its cartography. Five of them are maps from that era: from one of the earlier urban plans for the city of Lodz to maps of Polish lands, "Atlas Królestwa Polskiego" [The Atlas of Polish Kingdom] by Juliusz Colberg, emigrant "Karta dawnej Polski" [Card of Former Poland] by Wojciech Chrzanowski, depicting the territory of Poland from 1772, Lindley's plans of Warsaw), to "Polski atlas kongresowy" [Polsih Congress Atlas] by Eugeniusz Romer, summing up the cartographic works during the Versaille conference. The last case study deals with the longue durée of the Polish 19th century and its image on contemporary thematic cartograms.
