Resum: Editem un tractat de falconeria escrit en italià de Calàbria amb alguns trets catalans i amb vincles amb el grup d’obres de la biblioteca napolitana dels reis d’Aragó. El còdex factici de la Reial Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, amb signatura C-IV-6, conté set documents, un dels quals és l’Hopera de citraria de falcone pellegrine et gentile escrita per Alfonso Caracciolo, que ocupa una extensió de més de 40 fulls. Aquest text segueix la tradició dels tractat medievals i segurament està escrit a finals del segle XV. L’objectiu de l’autor és ensenyar bàsicament a ensinistrar falcons pelegrins i gentils, encara que presenta altres continguts de caràcter cinegètic i es basa, segons l’autor, en l’experiència pròpia. Paraules clau: tractat de falconeria, Caracciolo, falcons pelegrins, falcons gentils Abstract: We offer the critical edition of a treatise of falconry written in Italian from Calabria. It also has some Catalan features, and it is linked to a number of texts from the library of Naples belonging to the kings of Aragon. This codex from the Royal Library of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, being its identification C-IV-6, contains seven documents. One of these documents is Hopera de citraria de falcone pellegrine et gentile (Treatise of falconry of peregrine falcon and gentle hawk) written by Alfonso Caracciolo, having more than 40 pages. This text follows the tradition of medieval treatise, and it was probably written at the end of the 15th century. The aim of the author is to teach to train peregrine falcons and gentle hawks, even though it has other content related to hunting, and it is based on the author’s experience. Key words: treatise on falconry, Caracciolo, peregrine falcon, gentle hawk

The New Testament apocryphon Didascalia Domini is one of the least known. Its original was written in Greek, according to François Nau, at the end of the 7th century. Relatively early it was translated into Old Church Slavonic. At present five copies of this translation are known, stretching from the 13th to the 15th century. Three of them belong to the Serbian redaction, one each to the Russian (East Slavic) and to the Middle Bulgarian redaction. According to Michail Nestorovič Speranskij the translation originated in Bulgaria. The Greek copies, the oldest of which stems from the 11th century, have divergent final chapters. Moreover, the Slavic translation has yet another ending not corresponding to any of the Greek texts. The textological analysis of the five Slavic copies makes it possible to get an idea of their mutual relationship. On the basis of the linguistic archaisms of the text one can surmise that the translation has been made in Eastern Bulgaria during the 11th century. At the end of the paper there is a critical edition of the Slavic text.

Resum: A l’antiga Grècia i Roma els epitalamis actuaven com a preludi eròtic de la nit nupcial. Claudià, a l’antiguitat tardana, va tractar el motiu del desflorament com a pugna amoris amb lasciu refinament. A partir del Quattrocento italià, l’Europa moderna va reprendre amb profusió aquesta tradició laudatòria d’erotisme estilitzat amb cants consagrats a la unió de les famílies il·lustres. El poeta barroc Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/83) va compondre quatre magnífics epitalamis dedicats a les noces d’un enigmàtic personatge: el ‘galant Alba’. Diversos estudis han intentat, sense èxit, desvelar-ne la identitat. En aquestes composicions, Fontanella va emprar un llenguatge refinat i metafòric per descriure gradualment els estadis que porten a la unió carnal entesa com a lluita amorosa: els versos, rics en imatges florals i minerals, s’han de reconvertir al seu sentit concret a través d’una doble lectura. L’estudi inclou l’edició crítica dels textos i la contextualització del cicle dins del corpus epitalàmic europeu, així com una argumentació sobre la possible identitat dels protagonistes. Paraules clau: literatura catalana moderna; poesia barroca; epitalami; Francesc Fontanella Abstract: In ancient Greece and Rome, epithalamia acted as an erotic prelude to the wedding night. In Late Antiquity, Claudian explored the theme of deflowering as pugna amoris with lascivious refinement. As of 15th century Italian poets, modern Europe recommenced this laudatory tradition of stylised eroticism with songs devoted to the union of illustrious families. The Baroque poet Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/3) composed four magnificent epithalamia dedicated to the wedding of an enigmatic character: ‘gallant Alba’, of whom several studies have tried, unsuccessfully, to reveal his identity. In these compositions, Fontanella employed refined, metaphorical language to gradually describe the stages of carnal union understood as a love battle: the verses, rich in floral and mineral imagery, must be transformed into their particular meaning through double reading. The study includes the critical edition of the texts and a contextualisation of the series within the European corpus of epithalamia, as well as an argument on the possible identity of the protagonists. Keywords: Early modern Catalan literature; Baroque poetry; epithalamium; Francesc Fontanella

Abstract We used two different methods to estimate the density of nesting Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) across different parts of northern Eurasia. In the “territory-density” method, we extrapolated our density estimate of 406 km2 per territory (95% CI = 295 to 650 km2 per territory) in a high-density area, the Pyasina basin on the Taymyr Peninsula, to other similar areas across the range defined by published estimates. To estimate numbers in low-density areas, we used published data that suggested that Peregrine Falcon territories occur every 1,000 km2. Based on the nesting association between Peregrine Falcons and Red-breasted Geese (Branta ruficollis), we used a second, post hoc method to provide a comparative estimate where the ranges of the two species overlap. This model was based primarily on the population ecology of the Red-breasted Goose and included parameters such as the proportion of the goose population nesting with peregrines, the proportion of peregrine pairs associated with geese, goose population size, and three other variables. Some of these variables were already known, whereas others had been estimated as part of another study. The territory-density and nesting-association methods led to estimates of 1,586 (95% CI = 991 to 2,179) and 2,417 (95% CI = 1,306 to 3,528) falcon territories, respectively, across the common range of Peregrine Falcons and Red-breasted Geese; the first method suggested a population of 3,652 falcon territories (95% CI = 2,282 to 5,018) across the entire range F. p. calidus. Although both approaches entailed several major assumptions, together they provide the only quantitative estimate of this remote population of Peregrine Falcons.

Abstract Eggs collected from captive and wild Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) were used to examine variation in eggshell thickness, length, breadth, and initial weight to resolve questions about eggshell data from wild falcons. For captive falcons, shell thickness of first clutches did not change over the years a falcon laid or with embryonic development. Eggshells in third clutches, but not second clutches, were significantly thinner than those from first clutches. Greatest variation in shell thickness existed between eggs within a clutch and did not differ significantly between wild and captive eggs. Entire clutches of wild falcons should be represented in future studies to maximize the chance of obtaining a representative sample in regard to shell thickness. Egg size (L, B, and fresh weight) decreased over the years a captive falcon laid. A significant decrease in size (B and fresh weight) also occurred in second and third clutches laid the same year. Ratcliffe's Index generally appeared to be a reliable indicator of shell thickness in captive-laid eggs.

The morphological characteristics of different sperm cells (normal, abnormal, and immature) in the peregrine falcon during the reproductive season were analysed. We also classified the main sperm defects found in semen. Semen samples were collected from mature peregrine falcons via cloacal massage and stained with Diff-Quik stain. The percentages of normal, abnormal, and immature sperm cells were determined by bright-field optical microscopy. The number of normal spermatozoa were greater at the initial stage and subsequently decreased during the middle and later stages of the reproductive season (p < 0.01). In contrast, the percentage of abnormal spermatozoa increased significantly in the middle and end stages of the reproductive season (p < 0.05), whereas the proportion of immature spermatozoa remained stable during the study. Head defects represented the greatest proportion of morphological abnormalities, followed by the defects in the tail and midpiece regions. A small percentage of multiple defects and cytoplasmic droplets were also observed in the falcon spermatozoa. The findings of this study might be important for the development of future conservation protocols for falcon sperm.

Resum: Edició d’un dels textos de falconeria medievals conservats en català, interessant per l’extensió i per la qualitat de la redacció, amb un vocabulari ric, variat i especialitzat. Està format per la unió de dos tractats diferents i apareix recollit en un extens volum miscel·lani copiat en el segle XV en el qual es recullen, també, altres tractats, de cosmètica femenina, de cuina, etc. Tot i que les fonts del Llibre dels ocells de caça, o Flors de les receptes medicinals per a ocells de caça semblen molt abundants, anotem ací l’edició amb la que permet un acarament més evident per la proximitat entre el text llatí i el català, ja que n’és la font directa; es tracta del De falconibus de sant Albert el Gran o sant Albert Magne, del qual hi ha una versió parcial entre els folis 122v a 138v  del manuscrit. Paraules clau: edició, tractats de falconeria, edat mitjana, Albert el Gran. Abstract: This work focuses in the edition of a medieval falconry text written in Catalan. This is an interesting text because of its length and the quality of  its language, with a rich, varied, and specialized vocabulary. It joins two different treatises, copied into a larger 15th-century miscellaneous manuscript, in which other treatises are also collected, such as one on women’s cosmetics, another on cooking, etc. Although the sources of the Llibre dels ocells de caça, o Flors de les receptes medicinals per a ocells de caça seem very abundant, we annotate the edition with the source allowing a more direct comparison because of the proximity between the Latin and Catalan text; namely, the De falconibus by St. Albert the Great, of which there is a partial version in folios 122v to 138v of the manuscript.

It is noted in the article that the first written information about Podillya towns in Polish sources dates back to the end of the 14th - first half of the 15th century, and in the ancient Old Rus` chronicles there are mentions only of some towns, among which there is Mezhybizh town, located between rivers Pivdennyi Buh and Buzhok. It is stated that the location determined its name. However, it is established that the name Medzhybizh, which has survived to the present day, is fixed in the documents of the late Middle Ages. On the basis of the discovered materials, which are iconographic materials and archival documents of the Sieniawski family, an attempt was made to trace the transformation of the name of the town from the 12th to the 18th century. It is claimed that this name could have been established thanks to beekeeping. It is known that the production and sale of honey and wax played an important role in the economic and financial life of many cities, including Medzhybizh. During the analysis of archival sources, it was established that the document on construction and repair works in the Medzhybizh key for 1727 it is stated that in Nova Syniava a new winter house for beehives was built, which did not exist before, and peasants no longer spent much time and they didn`t drove apiaries to Medzhybozh in the autumn and back to Nova Syniava in the spring. The same clay stebniks were built in Khodkivtsi and Kopystyn, 30 km from Medzhybizh. However, for 10 years in the description of Novosinyavsky court in 1738, the stebnyk on two pillars is marked as old. Only in the document for 1759–1760 was the treasure stebnyk of Medzhybizh first mentioned, in which magnate apiaries were probably kept in winter. We assume that it could be located under the magnate's chambers and rooms in the south-eastern part of the castle of Medzhibizh or near the castle at the court of the Czartoryski, which was surrounded by a moat and an oak fence. Although such an assumption requires thorough research. Also on the map of the geometer Anthony Endrzejowski in 1772 in the explication we find mentions of three large apiaries, which were located near Medzhybizh, on the outskirts of the village Markivtsi. Key words: Medzhybizh, Sieniawski, Czartoryski, stebnyk (a building designed for wintering bees), honey.

In The Beginning

This paper tries to study an edition of Ibn Abi Dunya's work, entitled Kitab al-Manam, edited by Leah Kinberg. This paper also aims to deal with the nature of Islamic classical texts and tries to examine the existing edited form of the text that can be scientifically accepted in recently scholarly circumstances. Kitab al-Manam is one of which has attracted many scholars due to its popular contents about dream. It is a collection of 350 narratives. Most of these narratives tell readers about information transmitted through dream. The nature of dream is very dominant in the whole of its content, nearly 327 narratives. Kinberg explains in the beginning of her edition that those dreams are mostly short and follow a set of basic patterns, which is common patterns in relating dreams: 'motifs and formulae·. Viewed from its main nature, Kitab al-Manam, as a whole, is a compilation of traditions drawn from early sources prior to Ibn Abi Dunya’. Somehow, this was an important work since that we hardly can find explanations about dreams prior to Ibn Abi Du'nya’. That's why, the populariry of Ibn Abi Du'nya’ was later acknowledged by many scholars especially those concerned with the nature of dreams in Islamic eschatology.

Abstract The article presents dietary habits of the Peregrine Falcon in the urban environment of Maribor. The diet was studied with an analysis of prey remnants at the nesting site. In October 2015, prey remnants were collected after the nesting in and around the nest built on top of the grain storage silo. Prey remnants, mostly bones and feathers, were sorted into body parts: skull with the beak, wings, and legs. Wings were the most numerous remnants with 41.7%, followed by legs and skulls with 28.1% each. In total, 96 units of prey were found, belonging to five different species of birds. The number of specimens and biomass was dominated by Feral Pigeons Columba livia domestica with 64.6% in number and 89.5% in prey biomass. The second most frequent prey of falcons were Starlings Sturnus vulgaris.

Resumen: Desde la expansión del Reino de Aragón hacia el sur a partir del siglo xi, los ganaderos fueron colonizando y poniendo en cultivo las nuevas tierras conquistadas a los musulmanes. La orografía del reino favoreció la trashumancia entre las regiones del valle del Ebro, donde los ganados permanecían en invierno y los ricos pastos de verano de los Pirineos y el Sistema Ibérico. Los numerosos privilegios reales que desde el siglo xiii obtuvo la Casa de Ganaderos de Zaragoza entraron pronto en conflicto con los de la Comunidad de aldeas de Daroca, dando lugar a innumerables y costosos pleitos. La sentencia arbitral de 1501 fue un intento infructuoso de poner paz entre dos poderosas instituciones deseosas de defender sus derechos a toda costa.   Palabras clave: Comunidad de aldeas de Daroca, Casa de Ganaderos de Zaragoza, trashumancia, sentencia arbitral, conflictos ganaderos, siglo xv, Reino de Aragón.   Abstract: Since the expansion of the Kingdom of Aragon towards the south from the 11th century, the cattle breeders colonised and cultivated the new lands conquered from the Muslims. The kingdom's orography favoured transhumance between the regions of the Ebro Valley, where the cattle remained in winter and the rich summer pastures of the Pyrenees and the Iberian System. Since 13th century, the advantageous privileges of the Casa de Ganaderos de Zaragoza soon came into conflict with those of the Comunidad de aldeas de Daroca, resulting in countless and costly lawsuits. The arbitration award of 1501 was an unsuccessful attempt to bring peace between two powerful institutions eager to defend their rights at all costs.   Key words: Comunidad de aldeas de Daroca, Casa de Ganaderos de Zaragoza, transhumance, arbitration award, livestock conflicts, 15th century, Kingdom of Aragon
