The Events that Led to the Treaty of Tordesillas
The events leading to the Treaty of Tordesillas began when Columbus returned from his first voyage. Spain and Portugal competed in the attempt to obtain their desired rights of navigation and conquest in the Atlantic Ocean and to be the first Europeans to the Indies. The combined versions of what happened by Davenport (1917) and Nowell (1945) exemplify the historical narrative of these events. The present paper’s version of the narrative consider…
How small was a shtetl
The purpose of this study was to apply the recently proposed definition of a shtetl (Samuel D. Kassow, “The Shtetl,” in The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe, ed. Gershon D. Hundert, New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2007), to the problem of determining the lower limit of shtetl size, if any, by relating the size of the Jewish population in a given site to the degree to which the site fits the definition. The definition of the shtet…
A note on shtetl definitions and the dating of the first shtetl
Consideration of two different working definitions of a shtetl, and the two different datings of the first shtetl that they produce, leads to the following conclusions. (1) The definition of a shtetl is formed by a set of criteria, one of which distinguishes it from similar settlements by providing a characteristic termed “sufficient Jewishness.” Because “sufficient Jewishness” exists in multiple forms, such as “at least 40% Jewish population,” a…
Some roads do lead to Incallajta
Archaeologists, historians, and others have offered numerous interpretations of the monumental Inca site of Incallajta in Bolivia, including a fortaleza, ciudadela, political, administrative or ceremonial center, a replica of Cuzco or some combination of all of these. While numerous pre-modern roads have been located in this region, no such road has been associated with access or entrance to the site. This paper describes a double road that runs …
A New Clinical Scale for the Staging of Dementia
Accurate clinical staging of dementia in older subjects has not previously been achieved despite the use of such methods as psychometric testing, behavioural rating, and various combinations of simpler psychometric and behavioural evaluations. The Clinical Dementia Rating (CRD), a global rating device, was developed for a prospective study of mild senile dementia—Alzheimer type (SDAT). Reliability, validity, and correlational data are discussed. …
