A busca da identidade por Ofelia em o Labirinto do Fauno (2006): uma jornada mítico-simbólica
Authors: De Freitas Faqueri Rodrigo
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo observar a busca pela identidade da personagem Ofelia na produção cinematográfica O Labirinto do Fauno (2006), de Guillermo del Toro a partir dos elementos míticos e simbólicos contidos na narrativa. Com os símbolos e os elementos míticos, pretende-se mostrar a relação entre as histórias sagradas feitas pelo homem desde os tempos primordiais para significar algum acontecimento e as diversas interpretações para os sonhos e fantasias que impulsionam as primeiras tentativas de expressão discursiva do ser humano. No filme, a trama se desenvolve e ganha um novo sentido a cada novo elemento mítico-simbólico que aparece e rege a saga da menina. Para os estudos desses elementos serão utilizadas as teorias de Mircea Eliade e de Verena Kast amparados pelo estudo dos símbolos registrado por Chevalier e Gheerbrant em seu dicionário.
Le Livre de la Terre. À propos du sens de lecture d'une composition funéraire de l’Égypte ramesside
Authors: ¨Pleuger Léna
Published: July 2020

Le Livre de la Terre est une composition funéraire attestée pour la première fois à la XIXe dynastie, dans l’Osireion d’Abydos. Il est visible sur les parois des chambres funéraires de plusieurs tombes ramessides de la Vallée des Rois. Identifié et étudié depuis 1946, ce « livre » est composé de textes richement illustrés, dont le sens de lecture et la signification font toujours débat. Aucun exemplaire ne semble être complet, tandis que les textes et légendes des scènes paraissent assez corrompus, ce qui ne facilite pas l'interprétation globale de la composition. L’objectif de cet article est d’éclairer, sur base de l’analyse d’une sélection de scènes et de textes significatifs, le sens de lecture du Livre de la Terre afin de déterminer le rôle de celui-ci au sein de la chambre sépulcrale.
États et propriétés des déclinaisons arabes
Authors: Hanjoul Pierre
Published: July 2020

Cet article examine en détail la notion d’état dans le cadre des déclinaisons des noms et adjec-tifs de l’arabe classique. Certaines des propriétés de celles-ci peuvent se visualiser grâce aux présentations structurées des déclinaisons en fonction des cas et des états ; nous montrons que ces présentations mènent à identifier un bon ordre pour les cas et pour les états. Nous établis-sons une définition précise des états, étudions les différentes perspectives selon lesquelles l’état peut être envisagé, exposons les avantages de son utilisation en grammaire arabe et sug-gérons une terminologie plus claire et plus simple que celles existantes, en mettant l’accent sur l’utilité d’une distinction nette entre les états et la définitude. Nous mettons aussi en évi-dence la symétrie entre les notions d’état et de cas. Tout ceci se fait, autant que possible, en lien avec les langues sémitiques en général. Nous montrons enfin que la cohérence du sys-tème formé par les cas et les états se maintient en arabe (à une exception près) lorsque l’on prend en compte les règles marginales de grammaire qui sont habituellement omises quand on envisage ce système.

Mysterium Loth Joachim z Fiore wobec XII-wiecznej teologii spekulatywnej
Authors: Grzeszczak Jan
Published: July 2020

In one of his main works, Concordia Novi ac Veteris Testamenti, Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) interprets the story of the biblical Lot, shown in chapter 19 of Genesis. Using in practice the method of compliance (concordia) of the Old and New Testaments and an extensive theory of biblical meanings, he sees in the degenerated inhabitants of Sodom the announcement of medieval dialects. The negative attitude of the Abbot of Fiore (Calabrian Abbot) to speculative theology results from his apocalyptic vision of history, in which the key role is played by spiritual men (viri spiritales), who herald the Holy Spirit era. According to Joachim of Fiore, self-confi dent and self-based dialectics are destructive, diverting attention from the coming apocalypse. Stuck in a letter, they do not achieve the spiritual understanding (intelligentia spiritualis) of the Bible and prevent others from doing so. The interpretation of Lot’s story by Joachim of Fiore reveals the twelfth-century intellectual climate as monastic theology gradually gives way to scholasticism practiced in cities.
O pragnieniu Prawdy. Propozycja Platona a kontekst przekazu biblijnego w świetle teorii mimetyczno-ofiarniczej René Girarda
Authors: Gotchold Agnieszka
Published: July 2020

The paper discusses the issue of the desire for truth in Plato’s Republic, Book VII, and the Old and New Testaments with regard to Girard’s theory of mimetic desire, the scapegoat mechanism and the founding murder. Both Plato and the Bible describe outstanding individuals – Anax, Moses and Jesus – who attain truth. This causes communal envy, leading to the outbreaks of mimetic violence. However, neither Plato nor the Old Testament allow the founding murder to happen. Consequently, they depict communities which deal with strict laws and suppressed violence. It is only in the New Testament that mimetic violence fi nds its outlet in the sacrifi cial killing of Jesus Christ.

The Other Missa Prolationum
Authors: Watson William
Published: July 2020

Johannes Ockeghem’s Missa Prolationum is a well-known specimen of fifteenth-century notational complexity. As it is notated in the Chigi Codex, it consists entirely of mensuration canons. However, the other complete manuscript copy of the piece, in the manuscript Vienna 11883, eschews this complexity in favor of resolved notations (resolutiones) with uniform mensurations. Reexamining these resolutiones in light of generic mensural norms, statistical analysis of the work’s metrical structure, and subtle notational correspondences between the two manuscript copies suggests that the resolved notations in the Vienna manuscript are the result of a productive, formalist music-analytic encounter between their creator and the Missa Prolationum. Seen in this light, these resolutiones offer a new perspective on the early reception of this music.
The potential effectiveness of lean construction principles in reducing construction process waste: an input-output model
Authors: Bajjou M. S. , Chafi A.
Published: July 2020

With the spread of a culture of waste reduction in the construction industry, the traditional management system has become insufficient, so it has become crucial to implement more innovative techniques to improve the performance of this sector. In response to this need, Lean Construction (LC), which is the global reference of a production system with the minimum of waste generation, has attracted several construction companies all over the world. However, previous studies indicate that are several implementation scenarios that differ from one company to another according to their own understanding of the Lean Construction concept.  In this paper, the authors attempt to fill this gap by proposing an original input-output model that aims at clarifying the main conceptual basis of  Lean Construction philosophy, as well as establishing interactions between the main principles of this concept and all sources of wastes that exist in the construction industry. The proposed model shows nine main principles: customer focus, supply, continuous improvement, waste elimination, people involvement, planning and scheduling, quality, standardization and transparency. In addition, the practical relationships between those principles and nine sources of waste (transportation, motion, inventory, waiting, overproduction, defects, over-processing, unused employee creativity, and work Accidents) have been analysed.
Response prediction of reverse engineered free form surface by design of experiments
Authors: Sreeram Reddy G. , Satyanarayana V. V. , Manzoor Hussian M. , Jagadesh Kumar J.
Published: July 2020

Reverse engineering is a new technique employed in product design wherein original drawings or pertinent technical data are not available. Reverse engineering technology acquires the conceptual designs from the existing products and consequently creates digital product models. In the product design these digital products are employed with optimization principles. The investigation in this paper encompasses 3-D reconstruction of products by the reverse engineering technique and consequently identifying the deviations between the original product and the reverse engineered model. Design of experiments is a systematic study in the consideration of the governing parameters and there by arriving at the optimization stage. In this investigation response surface methodology method is employed by taking the input parameters viz noise level, smoothing level and triangle count %; and there by identified the responses namely deviation and curvature deviation occurred from the existing physical model. The deviations and curvature deviations are in the range 0.0266 to 0.0621 mm and 0.543 (54.3%) to 0.645 (64.5%) respectively which indicate that the reverse engineered freeform surface is not exhibiting significant difference when compared to the original CAD model. Response surface contours are constructed for determining the optimum process conditions.
Characterisation of heterogeneities and evaluation of properties of nuclear grade graphite
Authors: Negi S. , Korody J. , Khan I. , Kanse D.
Published: July 2020

Graphite is one of the promising candidates to be used in the next-generation first breeder reactors as a moderator against first moving neutron effluence. During interaction with the neutron, substantial change in microstructure and mechanical and thermal properties occur for graphite. This affects its in-reactor performance. The changes depend on the characteristics of as received virgin material. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize as-received graphite accurately. This paper reports the microstructural characterisation of different nuclear graphite. Four different nuclear graphites were obtained from open source through end-user and were examined in the optical microscope. Quantification of microstructural features was carried out by Analysis Five software. A considerable number of pores with cracks were seen within the matrix. The pores and crack size distribution were found in the range of 0-10 µm2 to a 400-1000 µm2 for the investigated samples. The majority of the pores and cracks were seen within the range of 10-100 µm2 area. The total porosity was to the tune of 9.25 - 5.78%. Pores and cracks of a broad variety of the size were found, and which were uniformly distributed. The theoretical density was calculated from the obtained pores and cracks percentage data. There was no correlation found between the pores and the cracks density (no of pores and cracks per mm2) and the theoretical density of the graphite samples. Density was found to be independent of sizes of pores and cracks of nuclear graphite.
Cutting tool wear progression index via signal element variance

Published: July 2020

This paper presents a new statistical-based method of cutting tool wear progression in a milling process called Z-rotation method in association with tool wear progression. The method is a kurtosis-based that calculates the signal element variance from its mean as a measurement index. The measurement index can be implicated to determine the severity of wear. The study was conducted to strengthen the shortage in past studies notably considering signal feature extraction for the disintegration of non-deterministic signals. The Cutting force and vibration signals were measured as a tool of sensing element to study wear on the cutting tool edge at the discrete machining conditions. The monitored flank wear progression by the value of the RZ index, which then outlined in the model data pattern concerning wear and number of samples. Throughout the experimental studies, the index shows a significant degree of nonlinearity that appears in the measured impact. For that reason, the accretion of force components by Z-rotation method has successfully determined the abnormality existed in the signal data for both force and vibration. It corresponds to the number of cutting specifies a strong correlation over wear evolution with the highest correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.8702 and the average value of R2 = 0.8147. The index is more sensitive towards the end of the wear stage compared to the previous methods. Thus, it can be utilised to be the alternative experimental findings for monitoring tool wear progression by using threshold values on certain cutting condition.
Fatigue life assessment of welded joints in a crane boom using different structural stress approaches
Authors: Riad Brahami , Okba Hamri , Samir Sfarni
Published: July 2020

This article presents a study of the fatigue strength of welded parts in a crane boom. First, a finite element analysis was carried out over the whole structure. Two critical welded zones were identified and a detailed analysis was carried on them, in the form of sub-models. Three different approaches for estimating the structural stress in welded zones, were presented and applied to each sub-model. Results were compared and discussed. The evaluation of fatigue resistance by the use of appropriate S-N curves for each method was also carried out and discussed. The use of these approaches on a complex industrial structure, and on tubular joints with hollow sections required to perform many adaptations and to solve several difficulties presented hereafter.
Investigation of the effect of gaps between the blades of open flume Pico hydro turbine runners
Authors: Adanta D. , . Budiarso , . Warjito , Quaranta Emanuele , I. Mahlia T. M.
Published: July 2020

This study will analyze the impact of gap size in two different runners called runner A (five blades) and B (six blades) to provides recommendations in design and manufacture of open flume turbine runners so that maximize the conversion of kinetic and potential energy. There are three methods was used to investigate its: analytical method is used to design the turbine; experimental to determine the actual turbine performance; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to study the physical phenomena and re-check the velocity triangle on the runner to validate the design and manufacturing process. Using the results obtained, gaps between the blades can alter the velocity vector on the outlet and unbalance the rotation of runner; this imbalance could cause cavitation. Then, the decreasing torque is assumed because water pressure in the draft tube is similar to atmospheric pressure. Two conditions must be satisfied to maximize the performance of the turbine: swirling flow is required after the water flows past the runner in order to minimize the radial velocity on the outlet so that the draft tube can function properly; the dimensions of the blade must be carefully selected to avoid the formation of gaps between the blades.
Effect of sand particles on flow structure of free jet from a nozzle
Authors: Al-Dulaimi M. J. , Hamad F. A. , Abdul Rasool A. A. , Ameen K. A.
Published: July 2020

The Characteristics of single and two- phase flow from a circular turbulent free jet from a nozzle of 10 mm diameter were investigated experimentally and numerically. The measurements were conducted for ReJ = 10007 - 31561. The velocity was measured at location from the nozzle y/D (0-8) in axial and radial directions. The two phase measurement were done by using natural construction sand as a solid phase of sizes (220,350,550) µm and loading ratios (mass flow ratio of sand to mass flow rate of air) in the range (0.18-1.38). Two phase air velocity of jet showed that the introducing of natural sand particles gives lower jet velocity attributed to momentum transfer to particles. The smaller particle size leads to lower values of velocity. The velocity found to be decreased with loading ratio increase. The numerical simulation was performed for single and two phase jet flow. RNG K-ε turbulence model was used to simulate the flow of fluid and the discrete phase model to simulate the particles flow. The results form numerical simulation showed a good agreement with experimental results.
A “Mathematical” Problem in Dostoevsky’s The Raw Youth
Authors: Sytina Yuliya N.
Published: July 2020

Dostoevsky’s novel The Raw Youth repeatedly refers a reader to mathematics. This fact favors analysis and interpretations of the “mathematical” problem in the novel. Mathematics as an exact science is for Arkady Dolgoruky the main guarantor that his idea of becoming a “Rothschild” is achievable and true. This idea is based on “mathematics”, as it involves the calculation of income. “Mathematical validity” is authoritative for Kraft and other members of Dergachev’s circle,as well as Stebelkov, Lambert, Olya. The plot of the novel is based on “mathematical validity”. It is Katerina Nikolaevna’s fateful letter. The idiom “as simple as twice two makes four” appears six times in The Raw Youth. The debunking of this formula is a characteristic motif for Dostoevsky’s work. The motif of vulnerability of “mathematics” increases with the development of the plot. The Raw Youth’s “mathematical” idea collides with his feelings and impulsive actions. The “mathematical validity” turns out to be irrational. It basis is not logic, but conviction. The opposition to “mathematics” and rationality is “living life” in Dostoevsky’s work. It contributes to the rebirth of Arkady Dolgoruky. He evolves from Rothschild to Christ, from accumulation to self-sacrifice, from Law to Grace.
The Storyline of the Traject in the Prose of the Russian Emigration of the First Wave
Authors: Zakharova Victoria T.
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this article is to analyze the storytline of the traject in the works of Russian writers of Russian emigration of the first wave, such as: B. Zaitsev, L. Zurov and E. Chirikov. On the examples of the novels Silence from the autobiographical tetralogy The Journey of Gleb by B. K. Zaitsev and The Ancient Way by L. F. Zurov, the problem of the storyline of the traject in the individually-authorial world views is explored. Analysis of the story by E. Chirikov Between Heaven and Earth allows us to see clearly this situation, embodiedin the genre form of the story. The conducted research helps to make certain of new possibilities of Russian prose of the twentieth century, which is typologically gravitating to the neorealistic type of artistic consciousness, with attention to the ontological spheres of being, to convincing confirmation by the examples presented from ancient times inherent in Russian literature of the paskhal'nost' (Easter character) dominant.
About “Realisms” (Story by O. N. Olnem А Quiet Corner and Literary Memoirs of Sergey Durylin In the Native Corner)
Authors: Karpenko Gennady Yu.
Published: July 2020

The article studies and compares various possibilities of Russian classical realism, it reveals and describes the features of constructing images of the world in the works of O. N. Olnem (V. N. Tsekhovskaya) and S. N. Durylin. The pictures of the world by Olnem and Durylin are limited mainly by the manor topos. Localization of the events within the manor space is the key for the presence of the same objective and spiritual realities in the analyzed works, nevertheless, distributed and correlated differently. While the “narrative levels” in Durylin’s memoirs (subject, functional, socio-historical, subjective-personal, cultural-historical, Christian ones) are value-coordinative and the Orthodox determines theoanthropic “verticality” of the estate world, in Olnem’s description all the “estate elements” are coordinate and exist in the horizon of a personal or social event, they are factographic, only psychologically and / or socially colored, and the “Christian event lasting in eternity” loses its world-organizing function and is present as a formal rhetorical tradition. The difference in the actualization by Olnem and Durylin of the value of narrative levels is expressed in the implied meanings of the name — A Quiet Corner, In the Home Corner. The writers relate the “Manor Corner” to silence. However, if for Durylin the “quiet”, “silence” is a spiritual complex that expresses the Christ-like essence of a person, for Olnem, silence is a socio-historical category, designed to mark semantically the process of disappearance of the “noble nest,” silence as a synonym for death. Thus, no matter how close the work of the writers came together in substantive content, no matter how similar and related they were, the “watershed” separating them, in the words of V. V. Rozanov, turns out to be the “attitude to faith, God”. This difference determines the existence of different "realisms" in Russian literature and, consequently, of different reading and research strategies.

Recent developments of biochar have attracted the researchers into this area. Different methods are discovered to synthesized biochar for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. In this review, biochar are elaborated and critically discussed which have reported for the removal of metallic pollutants present in waste water.
Cath-all-party: theoretical-methodological framework of learning and ideology position on the example of parliamentary elections of 2019
Authors: Slipetska Julija , Speresenko Mykola
Published: July 2020

The article highlights the basic scientific approaches to understanding the concept of "electoral party", identifies trends in the evolution of understanding of the term and the change of scientific paradigms in its interpretation. The authors conclude that the electoral party is a modern kind of party characterized by blurring the boundaries of the social base, the lack of a clear ideology and professionalization and personalization of its internal structure.The article reveals the historical evolution and formation of modern approaches to the interpretation of the "electoral party", identifies their varieties. The main subtypes of electoral parties include: electoral-professional parties, cartel parties, stratarchies, modern personnel parties, program parties, business firm parties, "big tent".Content analysis of the programs of the parliamentary parties in 2019, namely, "Sluga narodu", OPHZ, "Batkivshyna", "Golos" and "European Solidarity", using the formula of Hee Min Kim and Richard Fording, determined the ideological position of each of them. Authors conclude that most of 2019 parliamentary parties tend to be centrist and don’t have clear ideological position.Thus, it has been found that by most attributes, parliamentary parties in Ukraine can be classified as electoral, because by eroding the social base and trying to get support from the widest possible electoral circle, parliamentary parties lose their ideological attachment. It allows them to get maximum electoral resalt (Sluga narodu? 2019), but is counterproductive in terms of abuse of populism and inability to fulfill all program promises. The most conservative political forces include European Solidarity and the Voice. At the same time, it is the least liberal in terms of the ideological content of the OPZZ.

Authors: Garavazzo Tabata Luna , Matsuno Alessandra Kimie , Carmona Fabio , Carlotti Ana Panzeri , Miranda Carlos Henrique
Published: July 2020

Objetivo: o transporte de crianças gravemente doentes envolve particularidades que aumentam o risco de complicações. O objetivo foi investigar o impacto de complicações registradas durante o transporte na mortalidade geral e na taxa de alta hospitalar.Método: estudo realizado em duas etapas. A primeira foi um estudo transversal, no qual, através de entrevista padronizada, dirigida ao médico que admitiu essas crianças, foram identificadas potenciais complicações ocorridas durante o transporte. Três médicos independentes auditaram esses dados. A segunda etapa foi uma coorte prospectiva onde os pacientes divididos em dois grupos (com e sem complicações no transporte) foram seguidos prospectivamente.Resultados: 143 crianças foram incluídas no estudo. Pelo menos uma complicação durante o transporte foi observada em 74 delas (52%). A complicação mais prevalente foi relacionada a falhas no monitoramento e nos dispositivos (42%). A ocorrência de complicações no transporte foi associada a maior mortalidade hospitalar (Hazard ratio - HR): 5,60; intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%): 1,26 - 26,65; p=0,013) e a menor taxa de alta hospitalar (HR: 0,48; IC95%: 0,31 - 0,74; p = 0,0007). Após regressão de Cox para ajuste de fatores de confusão, a presença de complicações permaneceu associada à mortalidade hospitalar (HR: 6,74; IC95%: 1,40 - 32,34); p = 0,017), porém deixou de se associar com a taxa de alta hospitalar (HR: 0,76; IC95%: 0,49 - 1,16; p=0,213).Conclusão: presença de complicações durante o transporte pediátrico foi frequente na região metropolitana de Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brasil. A ocorrência de complicações foi um preditor independente de mortalidade hospitalar.

De quand date le Manuale d'Afä-Wärq Gäbrä-Iyäsus?
Authors: Rouaud Alain
Published: July 2020

At the end of his life when he was the Ethiopian ambassador in Italy, Afä-Wärq (1868–1947) published a short handbook of Amharic language for Italians. Several chronological cross-checkings make us sure that the book has been published in 1934 or 1936. But most probably we may trace back the grammatical and ideological contents to the beginning of this century. It shows that Afä-Wärq had kept fidelity to his first ideas in favour of a modern Ethiopia.

Frustula nagranitica
Authors: Marrassini Paolo
Published: July 2020

The article tries to point out some miscellaneous problems related to the traditions of the Nine Saints and to the Ethio-Ḥimyaritic war of the 6th c. A.D. For the first subject the interesting results achieved by Antonella Brita 2010 are basically confirmed, and a paragraph against the alleged Syrian/Syriac provenance of these saints is added. As for the second subject, after some onomastic notes stressing the traditional etymology of the second name of king Kaleb (from *sbḥ ‘to dawn’) and recalling the existence in the Islamic tradition of two kings Yūsuf (this explaining in turn the indication “Yūsuf the younger” found in at least one of the versions of the “Martyrium Arethae”), the texts which tell of a pagan king of Ethiopia who defeats a Judaizing one from Yemen (who in turn has persecuted  Christians) are identified as speaking of the first of the two Ethio-Ḥimyaritic wars. Finally, the interesting proposal by Beaucamp – Briquel-Chatonnet – Robin 1999–2000, according to which the war should be dated at least in 531 because Procopius speaks of a still active (and not yet retired to monasticism) king Kaleb at that epoch, is put in doubt, because it tries to conciliate two entirely different kinds of sources, one historical and the other purely hagiographical, which as such has not to be compulsorily harmonized with the first.

The Apocryphal Legitimation of a “Solomonic” Dynasty in the Kǝbrä nägäśt – A Reappraisal
Authors: Piovanelli Pierluigi
Published: July 2020

The present study constitutes an attempt to reevaluate the ideological function of the Kǝbrä nägäśt as an apocryphal production extolling the nobility and orthodoxy of early 14th-century “Solomonic” élites. In this regard, the Kǝbrä nägäśt can be considered as the Ethiopian response to the religious and political propaganda of the Syriac Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius and related literature. The arguments recently made in favour of a 6th-century date for an hypothetical original kernel of the Kǝbrä nägäśt are also reexamined and reinterpreted. The mention of the “glory of David” in the inscription RIÉ 195 II: 24 is not a reference to the Davidic/Solomonic origins of the kings of Aksum but part of a biblical citation, Isaiah 22:22–23, here for the first time correctly identified, while the connection between the recently published MḤDYS’s gold coin and the council of Chalcedon is too speculative and aleatory to be of any use. The glorious memories of 6th-century Ḥimyaritic wars provided but the point of departure for the elaboration of the traditions to be much later creatively recycled in the Kǝbrä nägäśt.

The Term ʿālam in 1 Enoch
Authors: Assefa Daniel
Published: July 2020

In 1 Enoch, the term ʿālam offers various meanings, most of which are temporal. It qualifies God as well as heaven. It also expresses the type of angelic life in heaven. With regard to life on earth, ʿālam signifies the most distant past and the most distant future. It also refers to things that will have a long duration, yet not without limit, like the suffering of fallen angels. In contrast human suffering on earth is never associated with an eternal one.

Change in the Significance of Affiliation to Ṭarīqa The Case of Tiǧāniyya in and around Ǧimma
Authors: Ishihara Minako
Published: July 2020

This article deals with Sufism in Ethiopia, how people came to affiliate themselves to certain Ṣūfī orders and how the ṭarīqa, or Ṣūfī order, underwent change in providing alternative ways for Muslims to follow their career under the present regime. The first part of this article will show how Islam was introduced into the region, i.e. in and around Ǧimma Zone, and how the royal family was instrumental in the Islamization process. The role of the royal family in the Islamization process is central to under­standing why Tiǧāniyya, the most popular Ṣūfī order in the region, became widespread in the region. The second part deals with the careers and life histories of some Tiǧānī masters, widely known in the region. The careers of these masters reveal that personal connections and networks extended both nationwide and abroad. The third part places Tiǧāniyya in the politics of religion under the present regime. The 2006 incident in which Muslim radicals attacking Orthodox Christians in the region revealed that the Christian community was not unaffected by internal Muslim strife. Thereafter, the government chose to support one Muslim wing against the other. Affiliation to ṭarīqa is becoming a political stance and, in recent years, Tiǧāniyya, the most visible ṭarīqa in and around Ǧimma, is increasingly being co-opted by the present regime.
Sound and Power in the Christian Realm of Ethiopia (Seventeenth–Eighteenth Centuries)
Authors: Wion Anais , Damon-Guillot Anne , Weisser Stéphanie
Published: July 2020

Musical instruments were used in the Christian realm of Ethiopia during the early modern period for proclamations, major religious celebrations, court ceremonies, and the movement of the king and his troops inside and outside of royal cities, as well as for signaling the start of battles. Only the powerful had the prerogative of having certain instruments played. The nägarit (kettledrums) were also insignia of power. Owning or displaying them was an expression of power as much as having them played. The nǝsǝr qana were doubel-reed instruments associated with the king. Originally insignia of Oromo military might, the mäläkäts, long trumpets, were gradually adopted in the Christian realm as the Oromo came to share in exercising power. On the basis of evidence drawn from a study of images, horns, though still present on the battlefield, seem to have lost prestige to the benefit of trumpets.

Das Äthiopien in Adolph Knigges Roman: Realität oder Hilfsmittel
Authors: Six Veronika
Published: July 2020

The German Adolph Knigge (1752–96), an exponent of the Age of Enlightenment, is the author of a novel, which he gave a title including some Ethiopian elements. This article seeks to answer three questions: 1. How far the description of Knigge’s Ethiopia does agree with the “real” Ethiopia. 2. What could have been the sources of his information and knowledge. 3. Why did he choose Ethiopia as peg, though he was not writing for Ethiopianists or people alike. It is obvious that for the description of the fictitious Ethiopian novel Knigge took the information from Bruce’s travel report. And it is obvious that he was familiar with Ludolf and his time. Knigge being interested in a success of his publications could rely on a sales promoting effect of the book title because of the background of information of his 18th century readership.

Three Collections of Gǝʿǝz Manuscripts Recently Surveyed in Italy: An Inventory
Authors: Brita Antonella , Hummel Susanne , Helmholz Karsten , Villa Massimo
Published: July 2020

The report aims to introduce three little known collections of Gǝʿǝz manuscripts hosted in the following Italian institutions: Castello d’Albertis, fondo Sapeto (Genoa), Biblioteca Giovardiana, fondo Quattrociocchi, and Monumento Nazionale Abbazia di Casamari (both in Veroli, Frosinone). The forty-two manuscripts (codices and scrolls) preserved in the three collections were surveyed, digitized and analysed through non-invasive techniques in the course of two fieldworks conducted in May 2015 and June–July 2017. The present article, conceived as a preliminary report to a more detailed catalogue currently under preparation, describes how the manuscript collections emerged and provides an introductory description of the textual content and the physical features of each item.

The Ystoria Ethyopie in the Cronica Universalis of Galvaneus de la Flamma (d. c.1345)
Authors: Bausi Alessandro , Chiesa Paolo
Published: July 2020

The section named Ystoria Ethyopie in the Cronica universalis written by Galvaneus de la Flamma (d. c.1345) depends, according to the writer’s statements, on a Tractatus de mappa whose author is easily identifiable as Giovanni da Carignano (d. c.1330), who drew a famous planisphere of the Mediterranean area. The Tractatus de mappa, as quoted by Galvaneus, reports surprising pieces of news about the Ethiopia of the time and in particular on an event which has been known so far only by a later and generally disregarded source, namely the Supplementum cronicarum of Giacomo Filippo Foresti (first edition 1483): the supposed embassy sent by an imperator Ethiopie to Western Europe at the time of Pope Clement V, that would be the first diplomatic contact between these two areas in the Middle Ages.The Latin text of the Ystoria Ethyopie is edited with an annotated English translation that intends to provide a detailed critical assessment of the document. If no conclusivem evidence in favour of the existence of the embassy emerges and the depiction of Ethiopia in the Ystoria Ethyopie appears to be in several passages influenced by contemporary ideas and expectations, there is no doubt that reliable information on early-fourteenthcentury Ethiopia was directly or indirectly conveyed to Giovanni da Carignano, as we can read it resumed in Galvaneus’s Cronica universalis.
Notes on Encoding Ethiopic for LATEX
Authors: Beyene Berhanu , Kudlek Manfred , Kummer Olaf
Published: July 2020

Encoding Ethiopic for computer application is increasingly important for linguists, librarians, information and communication technologists. This paper focusses on encoding Ethiopic for the LATEX document preparation system, and on the methods and principles of the ethiop package which supports Ethiopie for LATEX. ethiop is a package developed by a research group at the University of Hamburg, that integrates Ethiopic to the TEX/LATEX system.We hope that this package opens up a new venue to scientific and mathematical document processing, using the rich and well developed  TEX/LATEX system. Moreover, it could render a better data exchange mechanism by virtue of its platform independence and plain ASCII nature.

Notes Towards a History of Aṣe Dawit I (1382–1413)
Authors: Kaplan Steven
Published: July 2020

Dawit I has received far less attention than either his grandfather ʿAmdä Ṣǝyon I or his son Zärʾa Yaʿǝqob. This comparatively brief article attempts to partially redress the balance. During the more than three decades during which he reigned, Dawit strengthened the religious and political fabric of Ethiopia. By promoting devotion to both the Cross and the Virgin Mary, he provided the Church with two pan-Christian symbols which transcended local rivalries and regional loyalties. These were, moreover, symbols particularly suited to visual representation and hence comparatively easy to propagate among Ethiopia’s largely illiterate population. He did not, however, neglect the role of religious texts. His reign is remembered both for the important translations initiated, most notably Täʾammǝrä Maryam and for original works composed by his close associate Giyorgis of Sägla. Dawit also made great strides in solidifying Church state relations, particularly through his generous land grants, and although he did not succeed in resolving the Ewosṭatian controversy, in the last decade of his rule, he moved towards a pragmatic accommodation. All this would by itself, qualify Dawit as one of the outstanding leaders in Ethiopian history. His military successes, particularly against the Muslims of Adal, can only further cement his reputation.
