A 1990 production at La Monnaie in Brussels was recorded.

## History

## Theme

A main character of the opera is St Simeon Stylites, as described in the Acta Sanctorum. Joyce used motifs in his Ulysses which Zender read in the German translation by Hans Wollschläger.

# Claude de Visdelou

Claude de Visdelou (12 August 1656 – 11 November 1737) was a French Jesuit missionary.

## Life

De Visdelou was born at the Château de Bienassis, Erquy, Brittany. He entered the Society of Jesus on 5 September 1673, and was one of the missionaries sent to China by Louis XIV in 1687. He acquired a wide knowledge of the Chinese language and literature. Other learned Jesuits considered that he gave too much credit to contemporary Chinese commentators, who had their own interpretations on the works of the ancient Chinese sages.
When the papal legate Charles-Thomas Maillard De Tournon came to China in 1705, chiefly to regulate the question of the Chinese Rites, Visdelou was the only Jesuit favourable to their prohibition. Tournon appointed him Vicar Apostolic of Guizhou with the title of bishop of Claudiopolis in Isauria, but his superiors opposed the nomination, since Visdelou had not received papal dispensation from his vow not to accept ecclesiastical dignity.
With the missionaries who had submitted to the decree against the rites, Visdelou followed the legate to Macau, where he was secretly consecrated bishop, 2 February 1709. He then set out for Pondicherry where he arrived, 25 June 1709; he remained there in great retirement in the house of the French Capuchins until his death at Pondicherry.

## Works

Visdelou took with him over 500 volumes in Chinese and almost his sole occupation consisted in working on these. He sent to Rome several writings on the questions of the rites. The sinologist James Legge, says he "was in the habit of writing extravagantly about the Chinese and caricaturing their sentiments" ("Notions of the Chinese concerning God and the spirit", Hong Kong, 1852, 10). Some of his cited work deal with the history of the Tartars. He collected from Chinese historians documents on the peoples of Central Asia and Eastern Asia: Huns, Tatars, Mongols, and Turks.
His researches on this subject were first published as supplement to Herbelot's Bibliothèque orientale (1779). Geographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville writes that Visdelou had sent his manuscripts on the Tatars to academic Jean-Roland Malet, who died in 1736 (Memoire de M. d'Anville sur la Chine, 1776, 33).
# Amos Guttman

Amos Guttman (Hebrew: עמוס גוטמן‎; 10 May 1954 – 16 February 1993) was an Israeli film director, born in Romania. He directed the first-ever Israeli LGBT-themed film and most of his films were based on events that happened in his own personal life.

## Biography

Guttman was born in Sita Buzăului, district of Covasna, in Transylvania, Romania and emigrated to Israel at the age of seven with his family. He studied film at Beit Zvi. Between 1975 and 1982, Guttman directed three short films: A Safe Place, Returning Premiers, and Drifting. In 1983, he directed his feature debut, Drifting (no relation to the earlier short film). He then directed three other feature films: Bar 51 (1985), Himmo, King of Jerusalem (1987), and Amazing Grace (1992).
Guttman was an openly gay man, and most of his films—except Himmo, King of Jerusalem, a film about the 1947–1949 Palestine war, based on a story by Yoram Kaniuk—explored aspects of life for LGBT individuals, including AIDS, which was the subject of his last film, Amazing Grace. Many Israeli actors made breakthrough performances in Guttman's films, including Jonathan Sagall, Alon Abutbul, Sharon Alexander, Aki Avni, and Rivka Michaeli.
Guttman was part of a group of young Israeli directors who called for quality films at the expense of commercial cinema. While he was an active director, He created a rich and stylish cinematic language, providing a unique sound. His films were notable for his attention to the visual and his distinct content.

# Henry D. and Juliana (Wortz) Albright House

The Henry D. and Juliana (Wortz) Albright House, also known as the Dr. Francis F. and Jeanette L. Ebersole House, is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. This house holds historical significance for several reasons.

The house exemplifies vernacular architectural techniques and Early Republic stylistic influences.
Henry D. Albright, a carpenter, and his brother William, a mason, moved to Mount Vernon from Iowa City to work on building Cornell College. In 1853, William established a brickyard in the town, using locally sourced materials. He assisted Henry in constructing the brick house, which was completed that same year. Henry, his wife Juliana, and their family were the first residents of the house, which remained in the Albright family until 1926.
In 1926, Dr. F.F. Ebersole acquired the house and renovated it the following year to accommodate his medical practice. The two-story, side-gabled house is built from brick produced at the Albright brickyard and features locally quarried limestone. Its architectural and historical significance led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.

The La Loma Bridge is a bridge that carries La Loma Road across the Arroyo Seco, located in Pasadena, California.

## History

Built in 1914, the bridge replaced the 1898 California Street Bridge, which had closed the prior year due to safety concerns. The open spandrel concrete arch bridge has a Neoclassical design inspired by the City Beautiful movement. The bridge's design is reminiscent of Pasadena's Colorado Street Bridge, which was built a year earlier. La Loma Bridge has been called the "little sister" of it, and for the first several years of their existence, the two bridges were the only crossings of the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena.
The La Loma Bridge played a significant role in the development of Pasadena west of the Arroyo, particularly in the San Rafael Heights area, which Pasadena annexed at the same time it constructed the bridge.
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2004.
