# Nordhausen (district)

Nordhausen is a Kreis (district) in the north of Thuringia, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Harz and Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt; Kyffhäuserkreis and Eichsfeld in Thuringia; and Göttingen and Goslar in Lower Saxony.

## History

The district was created in 1815, when the Prussian province of Saxony was created. The area of Lohra-Clettenberg (the former dukedom County Hohnstein) and the previously independent imperial city of Nordhausen were then administered together. In 1882-3 Nordhausen left the district, which led to its renaming as the Kreis Grafschaft Hohenstein (district county of Hohenstein) in 1888. After World War II the name reverted to Landkreis Nordhausen, and in 1950 the city of Nordhausen was reincorporated into the district. In the administrative reform of 1952 several municipalities changed districts: a number were transferred from the district of Sangerhausen to that of Nordhausen, while others were transferred from Nordhausen to the districts of Worbis, Wernigerode, Sondershausen, and Sangerhausen.

## Geography

The district is located in the southern foothills of the Harz mountains. The highest point is the Große Ehrenberg, with an elevation of 635.3m above sea level. The main river in the district is the Zorge. To the south lie the Dün, Hainleite, and Windleite ranges of hills.

## Coat of arms

The checkered red-silver part of the coat of arms is derived from the coat of arms of the County of Hohenstein, the historical territory to which the district belonged. The broken tree trunk symbolizes the destruction of the city of Nordhausen during World War II, while the new branch growing into the golden area stands for the city's reconstruction and its bright new future.

# Francesco Antonio Xaverio Grue

Francesco Antonio Xaverio Grue (1686–1746) was an Italian potter and painter.

## Biography

Grue was born in Castelli, Abruzzo, into a family of maiolica potters and painters. His grandfather was Francesco Grue and his father was Carlo Antonio, who was also a potter.
In Naples, Grue produced many ceramic works, especially plates decorated with landscapes or putti in the center, and tendril or festoon borders. Wares were also often signed and dated. In 1736 he returned to his hometown and continued to work until his death in 1746.
Initially sent to the Seminary of Penne, Abruzzo to become a priest, but uninterested in liturgy, he became interested in literature. He left to study medicine in Teramo, civil law in Naples, and canon law in Rome. Despite all this training, he gravitated to the arts, and studied in Penne with Giovanni Lavalle. After a stint in Urbino, he developed a focus on decorating ceramics. His depicted genre or Bamboccianti themes. Grue headed a tax revolt that broke out in Castelli, Abruzzo in 1716 against the Marchese Francesco Paolo Mendoza when he imposed a tax on the clay used to make majolica. He was jailed for a number of years in Naples, but emerged, and is responsible for painting some of the ceramics at pharmacy of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, Naples. The ceramics depicted the illnesses treated by the contents of the ceramic jars.
# Madonna di Loreto, Spoleto

The Church of the Madonna di Loreto is a renaissance-style, Roman Catholic church located in Spoleto, Province of Perugia, Umbria, Italy.

## History

Construction of the church was begun in 1572 designed by Annibale de’ Lippi of Florence. It stands near the Porta San Matteo, also called di Loreto. The site was chosen because it had housed an aedicule or chapel with the fresco of the Maestà (1537) painted by Jacopo Santoro da Giuliana, also called Jacopo Siculo. After the earthquake of 1571, veneration of the image increased. Many claimed the image had miraculous movements of the eyes causing the seismic events to stop. A church was thus erected around the image. The church was built in an unusual nearly symmetric Greek cross layout. The entrance portal was completed in 1662. The interior had a number of canvases by Giovanni Baglione, but these are now in the town art gallery. The interior houses the chapel of the Maestà, paralleling the englobed Santa Casa di Loreto.

# Giuseppe Lugli

Giuseppe Lugli (born in Rome, Italy, in 1890; died in Rome, Italy, on December 5, 1967) was Professor of ancient Roman topography at the University of Rome from 1933 to 1961.
Lugli's academic career began with the completion of his undergraduate "Laurea" degree at Università di Roma La Sapienza in 1913, where he wrote a thesis on the villa of the emperor Domitian at Castel Gandolfo.
Lugli's career was prolific, although among his many significant contributions, several are paramount. He is credited with more than 230 scholarly publications. In his topographical career, Lugli compiled the landmark Fontes ad topographiam veteris urbis Romae pertinentes (8 vols. 1952-69). The aim of this corpus was to collect all of the textual mentions in the ancient sources that pertain to the topography and monuments of Rome. The work is organized according to the Augustan regions of the city.
Lugli was also a student of architecture, and in particular of building techniques. His study La tecnica edilizia romana: con particolare riguardo a Roma e Lazio, Roma (Bardi, 1957) remains a seminal study of the technology of construction in Italy during the 1st millennium B.C.
Lugli also founded the Forma Italiae, a series of archaeological maps and concordance for Italy. This work continues today as a serial publication, and associated research project, directed by Prof. Paolo Sommella in the Department of Ancient History, Archaeology and Anthropology at the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza". The aim of Forma Italiae is to map the full archaeological landscape of Italy at a sufficient scale to facilitate a variety of research and teaching needs.
Lugli was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei from 1946 until his death.

# Johann of Laz

Johann of Laz, or Johannes von Laaz, Joannes de Lasnioro, was a Bohemian alchemist during the first half of the fifteenth century.
Little is known about Johann's life, but his name probably indicates that he came from Ledce u Židlochovic (German Laatz).
His Tractatus aureus de lapide philosophorum (The Golden Treatise on the Philosopher's Stone) was first printed in 1611 and was later reprinted in Zetzner's Theatrum Chemicum. In that text, he presents a transmutation of metals from quicksilver, sulfur, and gold. Laz also claims to be a student of the alchemist Anthony of Florence (Antonius de Florentia), who was supposed to have been murdered in Bohemia.
Benedikt Nikolaus Petraeus cites Johann of Laz in the foreword to his edition of Basil Valentine's Chymischen Schriften (1667). In that text, he discusses the supposed alchemical activity of Barbara von Cilli, widow of the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg. According to Laz, she exchanged ideas about the transmutation of metals with many merchants.
