Soil Nutrients and Agricultural Infrastructure in the South Kohala Field System, South Kohala, Hawaiʻi
The leeward uplands of Kohala, Hawaiʻi Island, contain a dense network of ancient agricultural fields that were intensively cultivated by Native Hawaiians for centuries. Previous archaeological research in the region has focused on the Leeward Kohala Field System, where most agricultural infrastructure is found at or above the hypothesized minimum rainfall threshold (750 mm/year) required for intensively cultivating sweet potato. The South Kohala…
The Christology of the Second Century CE as Reconstructed by Michael Servetus
Michael Servetus (ca. 1511–1553) was a biblical scholar, humanist, and representative of the Radical Reformation. In 1553 he was put to death in Geneva on charges of rejecting infant baptism and denying the Trinity. He is often depicted as a primitivist who rejected ecclesiastical tradition and sought to restore Christianity to its pure form based on Scripture alone. In reality, however, Servetus engaged extensively with patristic sources as part…
Mordechai Z. Cohen. The Rule of Peshat
In Jewish biblical interpretation, the term peshat normally refers to the “plain” sense of Scripture, which has often been understood as the product of “systematic philological-contextual and historically sensitive analysis” (p. 1). Whereas the sages of the Talmud placed greater emphasis on creative midrash used to derive religious law, Jewish interpreters of the Middle Ages gave increasing attention to peshat exegesis. This medieval interpretive…
Rashi’s Commentary on the Torah
Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (1040–1105) of Troyes (northern France), known by the acronym “Rashi,” was the greatest Jewish scholar of his era, whose writings have played a vital role in shaping Jewish thought down to the present. Rashi’s Commentary on the Torah came to be regarded as the classic Jewish exposition. Although not seen as infallible, it has become the most widely read and broadly respected Torah commentary among its peers. Eric Lawee’s R…
Exodus
Christian writers of the second and third centuries adopted the figurative interpretation of the Exodus presupposed by the New Testament, adding new figural readings and articulating a theology of the Exodus as spiritual salvation. Tertullian in particular follows the lead of 1 Corinthians 10 and connects Israel’s crossing the sea to baptism. Origen creates a coherent allegorical interpretation of the entire Exodus story by filling out details in…

"Judaizing" Christian Interpretations of the Prophets As Seen by Saint Jerome
Among the many differing interpretations reported by St. Jerome is the set ascribed to "our Judaizers," who are in reality Christian interpreters with whom Jerome disagrees. In his own exegesis of the prophets, Jerome accepts both the literal/historical meaning of the "Hebrews" (Jews) as it relates to Israel's past (Old Testament history), and the spiritual/allegorical meaning of the church as it relates to the present or future. The interpretati…
Carsten Strathausen. The Look of Things
The Kinges most excellent majestie oute of his gracious disposicion’
In this article, Michael A.R. Graves and Chris R. Kyle take a new look at the 'bills of grace' or 'sign manual bills' which were a feature of the early-modern English parliament. These were a special category of bill, often introduced into one of the Houses already written out on parchment, and endorsed with the royal sign manual. The majority of such bills concerned either the affairs of the royal family, or the affairs of private suitors with p…

The House of Lords in the Parliaments of Edward VI and Mary I
In the past the House of Lords has been the Cinderella of parliamentary history. This volume makes amends for the omission. It is the first systematic institutional study of the sixteenth-century Upper House. Not only does it chart its composition and quality, its record of attendance, activity and conflicting centrifugal and centripetal forces, it also examines the role of the legal assistants, who contributed so much to its efficiency as a legi…
Thomas Norton the parliament man
Thomas Norton is one of Sir John Neale's parliamentary heroes. Neale demonstrates his importance in the ‘puritan choir’, that organized opposition party which was so active in the parliaments of 1563–66 and 1571. He and his colleagues are variously described as ‘troublesome’, ‘rebellious’, ‘hostile’, ‘nuisances’, ‘zealots’, ‘agitators’and ‘hotheads’, and Norton himself is depicted as ‘one of the most conspicuous of our ‘‘choir’’’. The result is a…

Proctorial Representation in the House of Lords During Edward VI's Reign
In his recent examination of licensed absenteeism and proctorial representation in the Edwardian house of lords, Professor Vernon F. Snow sustained and elaborated the thesis which he first postulated in an earlier article on the upper house in Henry VIII's reign. He claimed that these procedures benefited both the Crown and the individual member. They permitted the latter to secure leave of absence in the case of bona fide personal difficulties —…
