More unites them than divides them: Thomas More and William Tyndale as translators of the Bible
The polemical controversy between Thomas More and William Tyndale over Tyndale's translation of the Bible is not only a key moment in English Reformation history but also in the incipient self-reflection of the English vernacular. As recent re-readings of the debate have demonstrated, and I have argued elsewhere, Tyndale's and More's linguistic arguments have in fact much more in common than they both admit, being equally grounded in the premises…

Cicero among the Martyrs: A Reassessment of the First Edition of Nicholas Grimald’s Thre bokes of duties (1556)
Nicholas Grimald’s translation of Cicero’s De officiis has long been revered as the standard version of one of the most popular Tudor school texts, as well as one of the first contributions towards a theory of translation in English. This article reassesses the work’s cultural and political impact through a close examination of its paratexts within the immediate publishing context at the office of Richard Tottel in 1556. It argues that Tottel’s m…
Hidden presences of Thomas More in Marian Literature
The cultural politics of Catholic restoration under Mary Tudor have been as crucial to the historical legacy of Thomas More as More's image was to the regime's own historical self-presentation. Not only did the Marian period see the first reappearance in print of many of More's writings after twenty years, the overwhelming presence of More's figure and work in official Catholic discourse, especially from 1556 onwards, also generated many instance…
Urban Public Policy for Natural Disaster Risk Management in Blumenau-Sc: Processes and Activities
The objective of this study was the analysis of urban public policy for natural disaster risk management in the city of Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Two approaches were used: (1) A survey of the municipal public agencies responsible for disaster risk management was conducted. (2) The surveyed agencies' representatives' ideas and activities regarding natural disaster risk were analyzed. A systemic approach was adopted, bibliographical researc…
Of Travellers, Messengers and Foundlings – Fictionality, Authorship, and Textual Property in Thomas More’s Paratexts
Paratexts have attracted increasing attention in recent scholarship as an especially privileged tool for managing the reception of a text in early print culture, and Thomas More was certainly an exceptionally versatile user of this strategic publishing device. Not only does he make ample use of conventional paratextual techniques such as prefaces, marginal glosses and commendatory poems, he also takes the medium one step further by making his par…
Exceptional Skull of Huayqueriana (Mammalia, Litopterna, Macraucheniidae) From the Late Miocene of Argentina: Anatomy, Systematics, and Paleobiological Implications
The Huayquerías Formation (Late Miocene, Huayquerian SALMA) is broadly exposed in west-central Argentina (Mendoza). The target of several major paleontological expeditions in the first half of the 20th century, the Mendozan Huayquerías (“badlands”) have recently yielded a significant number of new fossil finds. In this contribution we describe a complete skull (IANIGLA-PV 29) and place it systematically as Huayqueriana cf. H. cristata (Rovereto, …
What use to make of a tyrant? Thomas More’s History of Richard III and the Limits of Early Tudor Historiography
The literary genre and ideological stance of More’s History of King Richard III have long been subject to critical debate. While it seems obvious that his portrayal of the last Plantagenet as a full-blown tyrant is anything but historically ‘accurate’, the question remains controversial as to whether this intricately ironic text represents a (somewhat half-hearted) attempt at legitimising the ruling Tudor dynasty’s claim to authority, an implicit…
Textual Encounters in an Age of Transition: Thomas More’s Translations between ‘Medieval’ and ‘Humanist’ Literary Culture
Unlike the martyr, the politician and the humanist, Thomas More, the translator, has received little critical attention to date. Nonetheless, a remarkable number of More’s writings, especially during the early 1500s, were either direct translations or indirect transformations of foreign literary traditions. It is precisely his output as a translator that reveals More to be a transitional figure, who was as thoroughly aware of the trends in late m…
Realigning English Vernacular Poetics Through Metrical Experiment: Sixteenth‐Century Translation and the Elizabethan Quantitative Verse Movement
This article examines one of the crucial links between the flourishing activity of Elizabethan translators and 16th‐century vernacular poetics: the controversy about a possible reform of English metre according to classical precedent, later known as the Elizabethan quantitative verse movement. Far from subordinating critical concerns to the demands of translational practice or political decorum, Elizabethan translations, such as Richard Stanyhurs…
“This Turk’s persecution for the faith”
The fictional setting of Thomas More’s Dialogue of Comfort (1534) on the eve of the Turkish invasion in Hungary, gives the work a peculiar semantic polyphony which has often been addressed but never sufficiently explained. By examining both the dialogue’s main theme and its fictional setting within their relevant contexts in Reformation discourse – especially the contemporary debate about true and false martyrdom – this article aims at shedding n…
Zur Entwicklung der Fächer Klinische Chemie und Laboratoriumsdiagnostik in der Wiener Schule
In the second half of the nineteenth century research work in the field of medical chemistry, physiology, experimental pathology and internal medicine led to a differentiation of the two new specialities, clinical chemistry and laboratory research within the Vienna Medical School. Some important contributions to this trend are documented by the scientific accomplishments of J. F. Heller, E. C. Schneider, E. Ludwig, E. Freund, S. Strieker, R. von …
