Grail Romances

The nearer the knights of Arthur's Court approach the Grail, the more illusive and intangible the holy vessel appears. In Sir Percivale's own words:“Lo, if I find the Holy Grail itselfAnd touch it, it will crumble into dust.“Thus one might say the Grail symbolizes in its evasiveness the problem of its own origin. For if its source is still to be sought, this is largely because the problem involved so easily eludes one's grasp. The difficulty is to fix the eye on the main issue, to the exclusion of secondary considerations. The Grail stories have been classed as Perceval and Galaad forms, as those in which a quest is the burden of the tale, as those in which it is the history of the sacred vessel itself.

The purpose of the research – is to demonstrate how the historiographic image of Wilhelm von Habsburg, known as Colonel Vasyl Vyshyvanyi, was constructed on the basis of sources of personal origin and historiography materials that were deposited during the XX century. In the first time in historiography shown as the as the story of the Austrian archduke, who decided to change his national identity and chose for himself the image of a fighter for the will of Ukraine, unfolded and mythologized. The history of the life of the Austrian Archduke Wilhelm von Habsburg-Lötringen has in recent years been enriched by a number of thorough studies. The main issue of this research was the question of choosing a Ukrainian national identity. The construction of the Ukrainian legend Vasyl Vyshyvany in the historiography began, based on his own autobiography. As the accumulation of source and scientific material, the question of the vision of the hero evolved: from explaining the circumstances of change of national self-identification to exploring the motives of this step. Changes in the interpretation of this issue were also outlined and brought to the cultural and philosophical research field.

В настоящей статье автор рассматривает историю чудотворной Феодоровской иконы Божией Матери в тесной взаимосвязи с историей костромского края периода XII- XIII вв., анализируя «сказание о явлении и чудесах Феодоровской иконы», а также другие источники. основной вопрос статьи - дата явления в Костроме чудотворного образа. у некоторых исследователей, а также в официальном церковном календаре это событие датировано 1239 г., однако большинство поздних исследований склоняются к мнению, что Феодоровская икона явилась в Костроме в конце 50-х - начале 60-х гг. XIII в. автор приводит свою аргументацию в пользу второй из указанных дат. In this article, the author considers and sets out the history of the miraculous Feodorovskaya Virgin icon in close relationship with the history of the Kostroma region of the 12th-13th centuries, analyzing the «Legend of the Appearance and Miracles of the Feodorovskaya Virgin Icon», as well as other sources. The main issue of the article is the date of the appearance of the miraculous image in Kostroma. Some researchers, as well as the official church calendar, indicate this date as the year of 1239, but the majority of the more recent researches are inclined to believe that the Feodorovskaya Virgin icon appeared in Kostroma in the late 50s and early 60s of the 13th century. The author presents his argument in favour of the second of these dates.

The paper is devoted to several problems. The author investigates the place and role of the history of political and legal doctrines in the system of legal education and science. The new nomenclature of scientific specialties refers this academic subject to theoretical and historical legal sciences, provided no changes are made to the proposed subject description. The main issue articulated in the paper involves the history of political and legal doctrines. This academic discipline is historical, political, legal and theoretical at the same time. Periodization in this case represents periodization of theoretical forms of reflection over political and legal institutions as one of the main problems for a historical discipline. The paper focuses on the fact that the chronological approach to periodization of the history of political and legal doctrines is the main one. However, this approach does not exclude other approaches that are also described in the paper. Moreover, the paper examines traditions established in the science and the student course. Conventionally, the history of political and legal doctrines is investigated chronologically, in a problematic or portrait ways. Needless to say, the author does not exclude the methodological approach to periodization of theoretical and legal forms of cognition of the State and legal institutions.

Introduction With the prevalence of infertility increasing worldwide, many are seeking adoption to fulfill the need to start or expand their family. However, one of the challenges mothers face is the lack of the early maternal bond with the adopted infant, which typically starts during pregnancy, and then continues after birth, while providing care and nourishment to the infant. Breastfeeding is proven to strengthen the maternal–infant bond and provides numerous benefits to the dyad. Reports of induced lactation in non-biological mothers are uncommon, they are even more uncommon to find in women with a history of breast cancer. Main issue The induction of lactation in a Muslim adoptive mother who had a history of breast cancer. Management Pharmacologic methods, which included galactagogues Domperidone and fenugreek, in addition to non-pharmacologic methods that included breast stimulation by using a breast pump. The participant was able to provide her own milk for her adopted infant. Conclusion When provided with proper support, an adopting mother with a history of breast radiation was able to breastfeed. The participant’s need to provide her own expressed milk was met; although, she was counseled on the possibility that her milk production will most likely not be sufficient to entirely meet the infant’s needs. Determination and support definitely have a role in cases where the influence of past treatment on human milk production is not known.

The strengths of formal Bayesian chronological modelling are restated, combining as it does knowledge of the archaeology with the radiocarbon dating of carefully chosen samples of known taphonomy in association with diagnostic material culture. The risks of dating bone samples are reviewed, along with a brief history of the development of approaches to the radiocarbon dating of bone. In reply to Strien (2017), selected topics concerned with the emergence and aftermath of the LBK are discussed, as well as the early Vinča, Ražište and Hinkelstein sequences. The need for rigour in an approach which combines archaeology and radiocarbon dating is underlined.

Abstract. A "Holy Grail" of hydrology is to understand catchment processes well enough that models can provide detailed simulations across a variety of hydrologic settings at multiple spatio-temporal scales, and under changing environmental conditions. Clearly, this cannot be achieved only through intensive place-based investigation at a small number of heavily instrumented catchments, or by regionalization methods that do not fully exploit our understanding of hydrology. Here, we discuss the need to actively promote and pursue the use of a "large catchment sample" approach to modeling the rainfall-runoff process, thereby balancing depth with breadth. We examine the history of such investigations, discuss the benefits (improved process understanding resulting in robustness of prediction at ungaged locations and under change), examine some practical challenges to implementation and, finally, provide perspectives on issues that need to be taken into account as we move forward. Ultimately, our objective is to provoke further discussion and participation, and to promote a potentially important theme for the upcoming IAHS Scientific Decade entitled "Panta Rhei".

Did Wolfram have any other sources beside Chrétien? Opinions are still divided. According to Fourquet, he used only two different Chrétien Mss. Weber assumes three additional sources, one for the “Enfances Perceval,” another for books i and ii, and a third one, which he considered an alchemistic writing, for the Grail. Schneider, summing up the investigations of scholars in his history of MHG literature, holds that Wolfram must have known, beside Chrétien, a Grail story in Oriental setting. My own research has gone in a similar direction and like Schneider, I am indebted to the pioneers in this field, to Veselovskij and Singer, founders of the Ethiopian theory.

The Legal Holy Grail? German Lessons on Codification for a Fragmented Britain

Codification seems to be coming back into vogue in Great Britain, especially in Wales and in Scotland as a result of devolution and a related (if possibly temporary) surge in nationalism. Using Germany as a comparator, we argue that a codification renaissance should be met with caution. By examining German literature on the history of codification, it can be seen that codification is a difficult transplant in Great Britain. In any event, the German experience shows that codification is no panacea. Furthermore, when it comes to codification, we are quite literally speaking a different language to continental lawyers. Codifying statutes, more achievable in the British jurisdictions than larger, continental-style codes, reflect a peculiarly British style of codification, but risk being the compromise that pleases nobody. A patchwork of substantive reform, consolidation and restatement is proposed as a more suitable domestic solution.
