  Le Jeu de la Hache - 15th century polaxe treatise
The author of Le Jeu offers a more consistent terminology for the axe of the latter half of the fifteenth century; and it is noteworthy that, at no point in his treatise, is there mention of a taillant or cutting edge.
It is evident that both the style and dimensions of the polaxe were matters of individual taste; and our knowledge of the normal length of these weapons is limited both by the exiguousness and ambiguity of early documentary evidence, and by the fact that so few axes survive with their original haft.
Le Jeu does not mention the length of the weapons to be used: though Pietro Monte, in 1509, specifically states that the axe, up to its hammer-head, should be 'one hand' longer than the height of the man using it.

  Scope: An Online Journal of Film Studies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The book is structured into two sections, or as the editors call them, contexts, one containing the reminisces of producers and writers active during the so-called "golden age" of the British single-play television drama in the 1960s and the other consisting of critical academic work about the subject.
A major point that was raised in the book was that children take a keen interest in the programmes that are made for them, not just because they like watching them when they get home from school but because they see their programming as a form of social empowerment.
It is this second angle of approaching the reception and distribution of films outside of their national origins combined with her grounding in the ordinary practices of the film industry that strikes a most refreshing chord in the areas of film, cultural, and German studies.

 All in the Family - The New York Review of Books
The second volume of Stephen Walsh's exhaustive and eloquent life of Stravinsky completes the story of the most famous composer of the twentieth century, who has been endlessly written about but who has remained something of a difficult case for biographers.
Walsh, in the new book, calls Craft's work "riddled with bias, error, supposition, and falsehood." His volume ends up being nearly as much about Craft and his relations with Stravinsky, and with Stravinsky's family, as it is about the composer, who became inseparable from his amanuensis.
The second book picks up the story in 1934, when Stravinsky, at fifty-two, was still married to the devout, sickly Catherine, and living in France.

 Dalkey Archive Press: Interview with Claude Ollier
The whole book derives from this image and from an episode of wandering in the south of Morocco, where I became bogged down, successively in an hour's interval, in both snow and sand.
The obstinate and persevering hero of Le Jeu d'enfant senses and knows it from the beginning; it is the terrible knowledge acquired in adolescence, an admitted, outmoded fact of which he will never speak; the Second World War destroyed all he had been taught, humanism included, along with his whole inherited childhood universe.
These books thus call for readers who will also be open and capable of abandoning, if only for a time, their prejudices and presuppositions-not only those about reading (the "character," the "story," pre-Freudian psychology, the taste for tragedy, etc.) but also the ideological ones, that is, all the customary cliches prevalent in the culture.

 Aion and Aionian - KOINONIA Greek Forum
In the apocryphal "Bruce Codex", (Books of Jeu), GRS Mead in his "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten" summarizes the second book of "IEAO" in such a way as to imply that Aion refers to "worlds" or "spaces" in the visionary or "out of the body" state.
Although the Old Testament (not only the Septuagint translation, but even books of it written originally in Greek) is greatly influenced by hellenism, if you study the origin of the Greek aion/aionios, it would be safer to ignore judaism, since ancient Greeks were not influenced to any degree whatever.
According to the Fathers of the Orthodox Church (and even for Plato), this aeon is the image of the eternal age of the next life, so that the Saints, to various degrees, start to live in Paradise already from here, and the rest, to various degrees, are deepening their being in hell already from here.

Especially in major tournaments, some sports books offer odds on unusual golf propositions, such as the over/under on the winning score, the over/under on the lowest round by any golfer or the over/under on the finishing position by a particular golfer.
Otherwise, betting procedure in the race book is the same as at the track: For you to collect on a "win" bet your horse must win the race, to collect on a "place" bet he must finish first or second, and to collect on a "show" bet he must finish first, second or third.

 Homage to Philip Larkin - The New York Review of Books
He also edited The Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century English Verse (1973), which he labored on happily for some seven years—he really did love libraries, and was probably most at ease within their tranquil confines —which was a great success with the reading public, and which brought its editor considerable royalties.
Bradford's book is far less detailed than that of his predecessor, but it does place welcome emphases on matters that Motion for all his comprehensiveness glided over perhaps too lightly.
In Motion's book there is a remarkable photograph of Eva Larkin circa 1970, sitting relaxedly in an armchair over the back of which her son leans, wearing a look of mingled animosity, defensiveness, and desolation; on the reverse of the picture Larkin had written: "Happy As the Day is Long."

He seems to think little of the possible objection that, whereas the 'Two Books of Yew,' mentioned twice in the P.S., are said to have been dictated to Enoch by Jesus before the Flood and hidden away, the contents of the first document of the C.B. are revealed by Jesus himself to the disciples (p.

 Book Review: Daumal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Daumal's life passed through a number of stages: from his literary debates with early French surrealists, to his study of Sanskrit and Hindu sacred and aesthetic texts, to the impact of Ren Gunon and later, Alexandre de Salzmann and his wife who were followers of the Armenian-Turkish master, George Gurdjieff.
Daumal's tragic death at 36 from tuberculosis during the deprivations of the second world war brought to a sudden end his lifelong quest for the Beyond.
In the May 1968, during the student uprisings at the Sorbonne, the author notes the rediscovery of Daumal, whose iconoclastic quotes were written on the walls and seemed highly appropriate for the tenor of the sixties.

 Melchizedek as a Divine Mediator
He is also mentioned in the Hellenistic Synagogal Prayers (from books 7-8 of the Apostolic Constitutions), prayers that are Christian in their current form, but that seem to draw on Jewish Greek material from the early centuries C.E. But he doesn't function as a divine mediator in any of these texts.
Second, the application of the term Logos to Melchizedek is striking; it raises interesting potential connections with Philo's demiurgic Logos (to be covered later in this course), but, alas, these connections are never followed up.
There is no certain evidence that he received worship in the Second Temple period, although I have argued for this in the preexilic cult and the presence of devotees of Melchizedek (called "Melchizedekians" by Jerome and Epiphanius) leaves the possibility open.

 Ritual in Gnosticism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Likewise, in the Second Treatise of the Great Seth (NHC VII,2: 56,20-59,18), the revealer undergoes an incognito descent (changing his likeness at each cosmic level), his "third baptism in a revealed image," in which he appears in the form of Jesus in order to defeat the cosmic powers through their ignorant attempt to crucify him.
While many gnostic groups of the second and third century advocated and practiced a sexual and dietary encratism approaching a true demonization of sexuality, other groups rejected such as practice as ineffective and deceptive, transforming the moral indifference typical of its libertine opposite, free sexual exchange, into sacred ritual.
The second Stele is directed by the "perfect individuals" to Barbelo as their three-in-one source, the source of all multiplicity, the projected image ("shadow") of the "first pre-existent One," the bestower of divinity, goodness and blessing; the "individuals" petition her to save them by uniting them.
