Passionate Copying in Late Medieval Bohemia

release date: Sep 01, 2021
Passionate Copying in Late Medieval Bohemia
This book presents a detailed case study of Crux de Telcz (1434–1504), illustrating the complexity of the manuscript culture of the second half of the 15th century. The scholar reconstructs Crux’s biography using more than 150 colophons and notes, and analyzes his role as an author, translator, complier, glossator and primarily as a scribe. For comparison, Kimberly Rivers’ study on the Würzburg Franciscan scribe Johannes Sintram († 1450) is included in the book. The most conspicuous feature of the examined late medieval manuscript culture is the unprecedented number of scribe’s paratexts (contents, indexes, explanatory notes, references, identification of sources and others), accompanied by a no less unprecedented number of errors, confusions, obscurities and incoherencies.ufeff First volume of the Prague Medieval Studies (PRAMS) series.

Flavour Science

release date: Jul 29, 2013
Flavour Science
Recent advances in flavor perception have provided us with an in-depth understanding of the aroma–aroma, aroma–taste and aroma–texture interactions that occur during the consumption of wine. This creates new opportunities for flavor and texture optimization by the selection of starter cultures with specific flavor profiles. In this short chapter, we demonstrate the use of a micro-scale fermentation setting in a real product matrix of beer and wine for the selection of starters which are able to produce the desired target (enhancing or masking) flavor compounds. With this approach, it is possible to selectively optimize your product in a natural and successful way.

Oma's Story

Oma's Story
This incredible saga took place during one of the most violent periods in the history of the world. The bride and groom had drawn on wellsprings of courage, daring, fidelity, and faith. In what reads more like a suspenseful fiction or thrilling adventure, rather than a true account, their journey spanned three continents and many seas. This is the story of how Dr. Werner Prenzlau, and Lucie Spitzer met and fell in love, how they were painfully separated by world events that completely overturned their personal lives, and how against all odds, G-d miraculously brought them back to each other to spend the rest of their years together.

Cyber Sovereignty

release date: Jun 11, 2024
Cyber Sovereignty
Governments across the globe find themselves in an exploratory phase as they probe the limits of their sovereignty in the cyber domain. Cyberspace is a singular environment that is forcing states to adjust their behavior to fit a new arena beyond the four traditional domains (air, sea, space, and land) to which the classic understanding of state sovereignty applies. According to Lucie Kadlecová, governments must implement a more adaptive approach to keep up with rapid developments and innovations in cyberspace in order to truly retain their sovereignty. This requires understanding the concept of sovereignty in a more creative and flexible manner. Kadlecová argues that the existence of sovereignty in cyberspace is the latest remarkable stage in the evolution of this concept. Through a close study of the most advanced transatlantic cases of state sovereignty in cyberspace—the Netherlands, the US, Estonia, and Turkey—Cyber Sovereignty reveals how states have pursued new methods and tactics to fuel the distribution of authority and control in the cyber field, imaginatively combining modern technologies with legal frameworks. In times of booming competition over cyber governance between democracies and authoritarian regimes worldwide, cyber sovereignty is a major topic of interest, and concern, for the international community.
