Este es el Manuscrito Informe de la fuerza española Naval y sus acciones militares en Chile y Perú: Estado Que en el dia de la fecha tiene el Vireinato de Lima; Provincias del de Buenos Ayres Recuperadas y conservadas Por el Ejercito del Alto Perú; y finalmente un en el ce que halla el Reyno de Chile [El Estado en esta fecha del Virreinato de Lima, las provincias de Buenos Aires, devueltos por el Ejército del Alto Perú; y, finalmente, el Estado del Reino de Chile].

Lima, 01 de noviembre de 1818.

Pequeño folio (ca. 31x21 cm). 6 páginas. Tinta marrón sobre papel verjurado con marcas de agua 'A' y 'PLA'. Texto en español en la escritura a mano legible.

Más tarde veteado por las envolturas del papel. Es un Manuscrito en muy buenas condiciones.

Históricamente significativo e importante informe periódico de la etapa final de la chilena (1810-1826) y del Perú (1811-1824).

 

Guerras de Independencia, compilada por las autoridades coloniales españolas. Nuestra copia al parecer perteneció a Joaquín de la Pezuela, primero marqués de Viluma (1761-1830), quien fue un virrey del Perú durante la Guerra de la Independencia: hay una frase manuscrita "Es copia Pezuela" en el final del texto.

 

El documento se divide en tres partes ("Vireinato de Lima", "Egéreito del Perú", y "Reyno de Chile") y comienza con el informe de avance de las fuerzas realistas (3.400 hombres bajo el mando del general Mariano de Osorio) de Callao para Talcahuano con el fin de recuperar Chile.

 

Sige a continuación las descripciones de Batalla de Cancha Rayada (18 de marzo 1818), Batalla de Maipú (5 de abril 1818), famoso Cruce de San Martín de los Andes (enero-febrero de 1817) y otros.

 

Una gran parte del texto está dedicado a las acciones del ejército de los realistas en el Alto Perú bajo el mando de José de la Serna e Hinojosa (1770-1832). Los informes de autor sobre el número de las fuerzas armadas en diferentes provincias del Vireinato de Lima y da una imagen de la guerra Perú de norte a sur.

 

Muy importante es el extenso material sobre la guerra naval cerca de las costas de Chile y Perú, y la acciones de la Primera Armada de Chile Escuadrón que se formó en 1817-1818 y, finalmente, "terminan el dominio colonial español en la costa sur-oeste de América del Sur" .

 

El informe enumera 12 buques de las fuerzas navales de los realistas (Las Fuerzas de mar): fragatas Esmeralda, Cleopatra, Presidenta y Venganza, bergantines Pezuela y Potrillo, corbeta Sebastian.

Hay notas sobre el estado y la cantidad de armas de fuego de cada buque.

 

Una lista separada se dedica a las naves enemigas (patriotas) y también detalla su artillería: Lautaro y Cumberland (comprado de la British East India Company); corbeta Coquimbo (comprado en los EE.UU.), cuatro bergantines, y siete corsarios (anglo-americano y francés).

 

Los informes de documentos sobre el bloqueo de Valparaíso en marzo-abril de 1818, y las acciones navales, por ejemplo, El ataque contra la Resolución, corbeta española, cerca de Callao por la fuerza de corsario, que consta de los marineros americanos, portugueses e irlandeses británicos (19 de octubre).

 

El texto concluye con la noticia de que el refuerzo naval para los realistas se ha apartado de España: Fragata Especulation dejó Cádiz el 21 de mayo con 6 funcionarios y 200 hombres del Regimiento de Cantabria, una parte de una fuerza más grande que se embarcará en Callao y se irá de inmediato para reforzar el ejército del Alto Perú.

 

Fragata María Isabel aumentará las fuerzas marítimas destinadas al bloqueo de Valparaíso. El autor no tiene ninguna duda de que "Nuestra fuerza marítima debe tener éxito en la destrucción de los rebeldes y nos dará ventaja en la reconquista de Chile".

I haven't been stitching a lot this fall, and here's the culprit: calculus! It's been good for the grades, but somehow not as fun as working on an embroidery...

Ah, the days when foreign travel was an adventure - and if we think that today's trip through an internation airport has become a tedious chore, what we don't recall in the days before credit and debit cards was the hassle of taking money abroad. This stern warning issued in 1955 has a jolly, holiday ring to it - albeit, in 1955 foreign holiday travel for UK citizens was probably just picking up again after years of post-war austerity and a little while before 'package' holidays to Mediterreanean destinations really got going. I susepct it was the rich who travelled - or people making business trips.

Paolo wrote me a three page love letter for valentines day, which may seem dumb and pointless to some but to me it meant more than anything. He HATES writing. He's a math kinda guy, so putting words together is not his favorite thing to do. However, I must say he did quite well for being so anti-english.

 

It was cute, and I was smiling the whole time I read it. I'm more of a sappy romantic than I let on because personally - I think too many girls get caught up in the fantasty of it all, but let's be realistic, how can i NOT love every second of being with him? and how am I NOT supposed to swoon over a three - page - hand - written - in - cursive - letter? jeepers.

I'm working on this little art-book about geometry. It's mostly a learning exercise for myself, and a training project to learn how geometers think and work. I confess, I don't always understand it — but the more pages I complete, the more I understand. It helps that I create each page three times: once as a pencil outline of the geometry problem, once as a text-based explanation of the problem, and once as the inked-and-colored explanation.

 

This notebook is in a Moleskine Japanese Album, the larger of the two sizes available (and the rarer) with 49 pages.

I'm intrigued by this postcard, bought recently in The Hague. It is written in Italian and I am presuming that it is an Italian soldier, but it is addressed to The Hague (using the French spelling, La Haye).

 

I can make out quite a bit of it but not enough to understand the significance.

 

Here's a transcription, with thanks to commenters below:

"Souvenir of the Great War in the years 1915-16-17 and of the Battles of Giulia and Tridentina. On the 16 June 1917"

 

Then there is a small addition in another hand that appears to read "C Canal ?. Boro". What is the significance? There is a suggestion below that it may be two names.

 

Interestingly, whilst addressed (seemingly to a Miss Carolina Roman/Romana/Romano) there is no stamp or evidence of posting. Then again, it's not exactly a complete address so I am presuming it was delivered by hand.

Manuscript title: Odo of Cluny, Gregorii M. expositio libri Job in compendium redacta

 

Manuscript summary: Gregorii M. expositio libri Job ab Odone Cluniacensi in compendium redacta. Odo of Cluny’s (Abbot 927-942) adaptation of Gregory the Great’s commentary on the Book of Job. The ornamental initials of the manuscript, which was not created in St. Gall, stylistically indicate the 8th century. Many pages contain the unidentified monogram of a copyist. (dor)

This manuscript was made in 1262 by T’oros Roslin, an extremely prominent illuminator, who extended the range of manuscript illuminations by introducing a whole cycle of images into the gospels rather than, as was traditional, only including the portraits of the evangelists. This particular manuscript was created at the scriptorium of Hromkla, which became the leading artistic center of Armenian Cilicia under the rule of catholicos Constantine I (1221-1267). As an extensive colophon starting on fol. 406v explains, T’oros created this manuscript under commission from the nephew of Constantine, a priest also named T’oros. It is one of seven known manuscripts bearing T’oros Roslin’s signature, and it is the most sumptuous of them all, with 15 miniatures and 67 smaller illustrations. The style of the images suggests that T’oros had several assistants helping with the illustrations, though the overall quality remains extremely high. The manuscript was long cherished within the Armenian church. Even in the seventeenth century, its illumination served as a model for Armenian scribes, particularly Bargham and his son Mik’ayel; see Jersualem, Armenian Patriarchate, no. 3438 and Washington DC, Freer Gallery, ms. 36.15; in the latter manuscript, Mik’ayel explicitly refers to “the excellent scribe T’oros, surnamed Roslin.”

Biography

  

We've all been there, spotted a news billboard outside a paper shop or petrol station and thought "eh, is it a slow news day in Chorley this week" while others are frankly hilarious, brilliantly surreal or just plain bizarre..

 

Welcome to The Chorley News Billboards Facebook page. It all started several years ago with the now legendary " POLICE HUNT CHORLEY BUM PINCHER' headline circa 2006! Spotted outside a petrol station... Since then we have been keeping an eye on these random news headlines and snapping them with our camera phones and sending them to each other for our own amusement...

 

After amassing quite a collection we have decided to share these with the good folk of Chorley and invite everyone else to submit their own entries to document life in a 21st century Lancashire Market Town... So camera phones at the ready and keep your eye on the headlines....Check our collection for suitable examples...

Produced in the early thirteenth-century, this manuscript is an important textual witness to the Historia Anglorum, the History of the English People, by Henry, archdeacon of Huntingdon. The first version of Henry of Huntingdon’s text had a terminal date of 1129, though there were four more updates containing events through 1135, 1138, 1148 and 1154. Walters W.793 represents the fourth version, covering the events from Britain’s first leaders up to 1148, in which the number of books is increased from eight to ten and three letters by the author were added. The text contains several colored foliate initials, though it is especially notable for its line drawing of King Stephen (d. 1154), grandson of William the Conqueror, and his earls before the Battle of Lincoln on February 2, 1141 (fol. 105r). It is closely related to British Library Arundel MS 48, which is believed to have been the model from which Walters W.793 was copied. Both copies may have been based on a prototype extant during the life of Henry of Blois (d. 1171). Of the approximately three dozen surviving manuscripts copies of the Historia Anglorum, only eight pre-date W.793. It and Arundel 48 are the only known illustrated exemplars.

Following the lead of the students at the Divinity School who petitioned for desegregation, the Men's Student Government Association sent this petition to Chairman of the Board of Trustees Bunyan S. Womble in 1959. They asked for a change in the Board's unwritten admissions policy that rejected qualified black applicants based on their race.

Una lista separada está dedicada a las naves enemigas y también detalla su artillería: Lautaro y Cumberland (comprado a la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales); corvette Coquimbo (comprado en los EE.UU.), cuatro bergantines, y siete corsarios (anglo-americano y francés) . El documento informa sobre el bloqueo de Valparaíso en marzo-abril de 1818, y las acciones de guerra, por ejemplo, el ataque a la corbeta española Resolución cerca de Callao por la fuerza corsario compuesto por los marineros británicos, americanos, portugueses e irlandeses (19 de octubre). El texto está concluyendo con la noticia de que el refuerzo naval para los realistas se ha apartado de España: Especulation fragata salió de Cádiz el 21 de mayo con 6 oficiales y 200 hombres del Regimiento de Cantabria, que forma parte de un grupo más grande, que se embarcará en Callao y acudir de inmediato a reforzar el ejército del Alto Perú. Frigate Maria Isabel aumentará las fuerzas marítimas destinadas al bloqueo Valparaíso. El autor no tiene ninguna duda de que "Nuestra fuerza marítima debe tener éxito en la destrucción de los rebeldes, y nos dará ventaja en la reconquista de Chile"

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

Grandma Inis never knew what the internet was, and she has no idea that her old recipes are now posted on the internet, but I wanted to save and preserve them for her Great Great Grandchildren that are now living in her houses. It looks like the book wore out many decades ago, and Grandpa had to sew it back together for her, but with a little computer enhancement, I am still able to read her writing. I see a lot of lard being used, and I do not know if my doctor will allow that for me today, but I sure remember the food was great.

Har egen, godkjent bysang!

 

Til orientering for Jubileumskomiteen: Etter en noe spesiell åpning av 1000-årsjubileet, kan det være på sin plass å nevne for Jubileumskomiteen at Trondheim har sin egen, godkjente bysang. Den er skrevet av Konrad Sehm, med melodi av Eilif Guldbrandson - og lyder som følger:

 

Du fagre Trondhjem med din jord

i sagn og saga svøpt,

med Domens søiler, hvælv og kor

i sten og marmor støpt,

med fjordens friske bølgeslag,

med fjeldets lette aandedrag,

med elvens favntak om ditt bryst,

med al din glæde, sorg og lyst,

vi hilser dig i dag!

 

Her helten Olav Tryggvason

har rikets sæte lagt,

og som du steg i dåd og ånd

steg også Norges magt.

Da folket stred mot fremmed vold,

da fostret du os en Tordenskiold.

Slaa varmt og stolt dit moderbryst,

din søn han var i daad og dyst,

til sidste flik og fold,

til sidste flik og fold!

 

Trods alt du led i krig og brand,

end hilser os dit flag.

Fra Sverresborg til Lades strand

du favner os i dag.

Og hvor din favn er tryg og stor,

den rummer alt for os paa jord!

I lyse som i tunge kaar

den altid like aapen staar,

vort hjem, vor fagre mor,

vort hjem, vor fagre mor!

 

Slik var skrivemåten da de to herrer hyllet vår by, stolt, varmt og inderlig. Ordformen er endret fra den gang, men inderligheten, stoltheten og de varme følelser for byen vår har vi ekte trondhjemmere bevart.

 

Var det en tanke å få et Trondheims-kor til å avslutte jubileumsfeiringen med bysangen vår? Så blir slutten på jubileumsåret litt anderledes enn starten.

In Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment attributed to the Florentine illuminator Mariano del Buono di Jacopo. Manuscript locally named Codex Pollick.

Tinted grisaille illustration

 

This allegorical text written in vernacular verse was inspired by Guillaume de Lorris's and Jean de Meun's Roman de la Rose. Composed in 1330-1332 CE by Guillaume de Digulleville with a second recension in 1355 CE, this text represents the earlier of the two versions. Produced in Northeast France in 1370 CE, the Walters' copy contains a frontispiece miniature with a portrait of the author, as well as eighty-three tinted grisaille illustrations. These illustrations are based on models consistent with contemporary thematic choices and contain abundant anecdotal detail, lending character to the text. As of spring 2014 the Institute for the Study of Textual History, Romance Languages in France has been gathering all reproductions of Digulleville's manuscripts. W. 141 is one of the few copies outside of France.
