And the High Holyday Machzor That Followed (2024)
The ninth edition of the British Reform High Holyday Machzor was published in 2024 as a companion to the ‘Daily and Sabbath’ Siddur of 2008. Many of the innovations of the Siddur were incorporated or adapted in the new Machzor . Nevertheless, many new considerations emerged through the editorial process and reflect new liturgical requirements not just of the forty years since the Machzor 's 1985 predecessor but also the decade and a half since th…
Alimentación, sociedad, cultura y política en el Occidente medieval
Menus from the Lotos Club in New York City
Several hundred menus from the Lotos Club have been preserved from the period 1870 to the present. They are from so-called "State Dinners" honoring important people. They show in unusual detail and over a considerable period of time the changing tastes in cuisine, from adherence to French haute cuisine standards to the current fashions such as local and seasonal. It is useful to look at the food served at institutions such as clubs because while …
Lamprey and herring
As is common to all periods and cultures, medieval Europe held certain foods in esteem and regarded others as common, even lowly. The social prestige of a particular food item depended on factors such as scarcity, exotic origins, but also actual taste. Among fish (or what were considered fish) lamprey was endowed with immense prestige, partly because when cooked it resembles beef but counts as a fish with regard to Church fasting rules. Herring w…
The English Savoury Course
The savoury is a course that comes near the end of the meal, after the sweet but before what in Britain is called the dessert (which is usually fruit and nuts as opposed to pastries, puddings and the like which are part of the sweet course). Typically, savouries are salty, spicy or sharp. Cheese straws or ramekins, smoked fish, mushrooms, almost anything on toast are components of classic savouries. The article looks at why this is a peculiarly B…

Massimo Montanari. Medieval Tastes
Massimo Montanari is a leading historian of medieval cuisine and the author of general histories of food as well as numerous works about specific culinary topics, such as the story of an Italian proverb about eating cheese with pears. Medieval Tastes: Food, Cooking, and the Table is an English translation of what originally appeared as separate studies, but unlike many such collections, the book is harmonious and offers a thorough yet short descr…
Health, wellness and the allure of spices in the Middle Ages
Women and Restaurants in the Nineteenth-Century United States
Restaurants flourished in the nineteenth–century United States as places for entertainment, social positioning, business advancement as well as dining. Women were admitted with restrictions that affected especially women alone or all-female groups. The article looks at the management of women’s presence in the quasi-public space of the restaurant and how attitudes changed. It also examines the identification of women’s supposed preferences for li…
The Medieval Spice Trade
Europe's insatiable demand for spices in the late Middle Ages (1200-1500 AD) is a remarkable example of dramatic historic change triggered by consumer preference. The spice trade is important to the history of food not only because of the trade routes and speculation about how to expand them, but also because of the reasons for the heavy demand in the first place. Tropical spices are not an essential ingredient of modern European cuisine. This ar…
American Restaurants and Cuisine in the Mid–Nineteenth Century
The author discusses the food served at high-end restaurants in New England, New York, and beyond in the mid–nineteenth century. Based on menus of the period, he looks at taste, cuisine, and the setting and rules of dining out, a new form of socializing in America
Mastic
Mastic is a resin produced by plants that grow only on the southern part of the Aegean island of Chios. Its cultivation and commerce were regulated by the rulers of Chios to assure substantial profits on this valuable commodity. Mastic is an example of a Mediterranean product that was in great demand in both Islamic and Christian societies. Yet its particular utility and the reasons for its long-lasting prestige are not easily understood beyond g…

Understanding the Effect of Political Advertising on Voter Turnout
Krasno and Green have argued that political advertising has no impact on voter turnout. We remain unconvinced by their evidence, given concerns about how they measure the advertising environment, how they measure advertising tone, their choice of modeling techniques and the generalizability of their findings. These differences aside, we strongly agree that political advertising does little to undermine voter participation

Measuring Media Exposure and the Effects of Negative Campaign Ads
Recent controversy over negative television campaign commercials has focused on their effects on voters. Proponents of the demobilization hypothesis claim that negative ads undermine political efficacy and depress voter turnout. Others have suggested a stimulation hypothesis, arguing that such advertising may have an invigorating effect on the electorate. Empirical tests of competing claims demand improved measures of real voters' exposure to rea…
Campaign Advertising and Democratic Citizenship
Concern about the state of American democracy is a staple of political science and popular commentary. Critics warn that levels of citizen participation and political knowledge are disturbingly low and that seemingly ubiquitous political advertising is contributing to the problem. We argue that political advertising is rife with both informational and emotional content and actually contributes to a more informed, more engaged, and more participat…
Campaign Advertising and Voter Turnout
Recent controversy over campaign advertising has focused on the effects of negative ads on voters. Proponents of the demobilization hypothesis have argued that negative ads turn off voters and shrink the size of the electorate. We argue that negative campaign charges are just as likely to engage potential voters, leading to a stimulation effect when it comes to turnout. Drawing on a new source of ad-tracking data from the 1996 presidential electi…
Lessons Learned
Television advertising is a key element of contemporary political campaigns. Until now, however, scholars have been able to say relatively little about the distribution and impact of television ads, primarily because comprehensive data on advertising have not been available. In this article, we introduce a new source of tracking information for political advertising, with information on close to 1 million political ads broadcast during the 2000 e…
New Evidence for New Arguments
We present an individual-level analysis of the effects of campaign advertising on vote choice in the 1996 Senate elections. Drawing on a unique data set that merges the 1996 National Election Study with detailed satellite tracking data showing when, where, and how many times every. Senate campaign ad was aired in each of the nation's top media markets, we develop an alternative measure of media exposure and a different way of measuring the effect…

Building a Probable Electorate From Preelection Polls
Prominent among sources of nonsampling error in preelection polls are different methods of screening likely voters. Building on past research, we use National Election Studies data to construct a simple, practical, two-stage model of voter turnout. We compare the performance of this model to alternative estimators, using data from the 1988 and 1992 presidential elections. By allowing for truncated interviews with up to 20 percent of respondents, …

Military Orders and Peasant Servitude in Catalonia
The County of Barcelona was founded in the wake of the Carolingian empire's collapse in the late ninth century.' The population of this beleaguered region managed to expand southward from the overpopulated Pyrenean valleys, settling the foothills and much of the coastal plain despite the devastation inflicted by frequent Islamic expeditions and raids. In the eleventh century the balance of power between the county and its Islamic neighbors shifte…

The Origins of Peasant Servitude in Medieval Catalonia
This 1991 book describes the history of peasants in Catalonia, the wealthiest and politically dominant part of the medieval Kingdom of Aragon, between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. It focuses on the period from 1000 to 1300, when free peasants who had held property under favourable frontier conditions were progressively subjugated by their lords. Between 1462 and 1486 Catalan peasants mounted the most successful peasants' war of the Middle A…

Sainteté et sauvagerie. Deux images du paysan au Moyen Age
Dans l'Europe médiévale aussi bien que dans l'Europe moderne, les classes aisées et privilégiées trouvaient la société rurale étrange, déroutante et d'un primitivisme choquant. Sans doute, un engouement pour une vie simple et pastorale faisait de temps en temps surface, mais crainte, mépris et pitié étaient les sentiments les plus fréquemment exprimés à l'égard des habitants du monde des paysans. La campagne que La Bruyère connaissait, était remp…

The Evolution of Servile Peasants in Hungary and in Catalonia
[fr] En Hongrie, comme dans Ia Catalogne, il y eut un grand soulèvement des paysans au fin du Moyen Âge. La révolte hongroise de 1514 fut suprime par la noblesse, mais les paysans catalans effectuèrent l'abolition du servage en 1486. Malgré cette divergence essentielle, on peut constater quelques ressemblances entre les deux pays, surtout à l'égard des justifications idéologiques pour le servage et les condamnations à rencontre le servage. La fon…
