Late spring break.
The church of Matrice Vecchia was built in the 15th century on the ruins of a pagan temple. It has a Renaissance portico added in the 16th century, and a central portal in the Catalan-Gothic style. On the left side is a bell-tower with a Romanesque mullioned window culminating in an octagonal spire covered with majolica tiles. The interior of the church, originally divided into a nave and two aisles, received another aisle at the end of the 16th century. It preserves prized works, most remarkably, above the main altar, a splendid polyptych depicting The Coronation of the Virgin , attributed to Pietro Ruzzolone or possibly Antonello de Saliba. On the bottom right is the unusual figure of a Saint wearing spectacles. On the right is a statue of the Madonna delle Grazie by Antonello Gagini. Below the nave is a fresco depicting the Betrothal of the Virgins showing a strong Senese influence in the elegant features and the symmetry of the composition. Some of the columns separating the nave and the aisles are painted with frescoes, including the figure of St. Catherine of Alexandria.

Calascibetta is a comune in Sicily, Italy in the Province of Enna.Calascibetta is a small town in Sicily. The town Calascibetta is located 7 kilometres north of Enna and can be seen from the provincial capital. Although once inhabited by Siculi, the town was seized in 841 by the Arabs and used as a base for the conquest of Enna. The Arabs gave the new town the name Kala Scibet. The Norman king Roger I also besieged Enna from Calascibetta. Only the bell tower of the present church of San Pietro remains from the former Norman castle. The Chiesa Matrice from the 14th Century houses a Bible in Gothic script in the treasury of the church.A number of necropolis of the 9th and 5th century BC show that the area was inhabited at least since that time. The present town was however founded in 851 by the Saracens, who named it Kalat Schibet (meaning castle on the Xibet mountain in a quiet place) it was fortified with walls and a castle which Count Roger had built in 1062, along with the church to St. Peter and Santa Maria Assunta. King Pietro of Aragona died here on 15 august 1532, though his body was then buried in Palermo, in the Palazzo dei Normanni. In 1428 king Alphonse gave to a Jewish community the quarter that still today is called "Giudea". Under Carles V in 1535 Calascibetta was given as a fiefdom to Ludovico Vernagallo, but the town collected the funds necessary to buy back its independence, which the emperor granted, along with exemption from custom duties. Again in 1668 the town had to ransom its independence with Charles II of Spain, who granted Calascibetta the title of "Fidelissima". The parish church of San Pietro and Santa Maria Maggiore, with an inscription along the left side of the main portal, declaring the origin of the town: "Rogerius comes et templi fundator et urbis" (=count Roger founder of both the church and the town). The church hosts an invaluable collection of art works, as well as a treasury with ancient items and relic holders. The church of Maria Santissima del Carmelo, inside which there is a fine marble sculpture, The Annunciation, the work of Antonello Gagini.
Calascibetta è un comune italiano di 4.629 abitanti della provincia di Enna in Sicilia.Calascibetta dista 6 km da Enna, 39 km da Caltanissetta e 111 km da Agrigento. È situata sui monti Erei, in una zona collinare interna; sullo spartiacque fra i bacini dei fiumi Simeto e Imera Meridionale. È posta a 619 metri sopra il livello del mare.Il nome Calascibetta deriva dall'arabo "Qalat-sciabat" che significa "il castello sulla vetta" a sottolineare la particolare posizione geografica del paese. Fu abitata già in epoca antichissima, come testimoniano le necropoli della Calcarella (XI-X secolo a.C.), di Realmese (con tombe dei secoli IX e VIII secolo a.C.), di valle coniglio (sec. X-VII a.C.) e di Malpasso (età del rame).Frequentata in epoca bizantina come attestano documenti ottocenteschi relativi a grotte basiliane affrescate, abitata in periodo arabo, come lo stesso nome suggerisce, Calascibetta, dopo la conquista normanna dell'isola appare menzionata nel 1062, quando fu fortificata da Ruggero I, che fece costruire il primo borgo, durante l'assedio di Castrogiovanni, e il grande duomo dedicandolo alla Vergine e San Pietro. In seguito rimasta città demaniale, conosce un periodo di ineguagliato splendore, favorita e preferita come fu dai re aragonesi, tra cui Pietro II che durante un soggiorno vi spirò, che la dotarono, sull'esempio dei normanni, di templi e monumenti.La Necropoli di Realmese è un sito archeologico presso Calascibetta. Questo sito è una necropoli con circa trecento tombe a "grotticella" molto particolari, risalenti al periodo compreso tra il IX e l'VIII secolo a.C.Per trovarlo ci sono molte indicazioni stradali però non è molto facile raggiungerlo a causa dell'orografia del territorio circostante
The video shows a "Matrix Case Arrangement" from Lanston (American) Monotype. It is for large composition matrices and a bit unusual, as it is hand written.
This is the only Lanston large comp arrangement that I have. As the video suggests, it is for 18 pt. Goudy Bible, note the small cap "ORD" to spell "Lord". Originally called "Newstyle" by Goudy, it was adapted and used for the Oxford Lectern Bible of 1948.
I cast it a while ago, however think I would use it more often if it was 16 pt., it is a beautiful type face.
Esta magnífica plantilla está en la calle Vista. Es del amigo nine, creo que con eso está todo o casi todo dicho.

Repairing Damaged Muscle: A) A collagen matrix containing sialyl Lewisx is injected at the site of damaged muscle tissue, where it gels to form a smart scaffold. B) The presence of sialyl Lewisx attracts progenitor cells to the site and binds with their L-selectin receptors. The progenitor cells take up residence in the scaffold, where they begin to differentiate and form new blood vessels. C) The new vessels provide oxygenated blood to growing muscle tissue, repairing the damage caused by ischemia. (Published in The Beat v4i1)
Réparation des lésions tissulaires : A) Une microstructure de collagène contenant la molécule « sialyl Lewisx » est injectée dans le muscle endommagé, où elle se fige pour former une matrice « intelligente »; B) La molécule « sialyl Lewisx » attire des cellules progénitrices sur le site et se lie à leurs récepteurs L sélectine. Les cellules progénitrices élisent domicile au sein de la matrice où elles se différencient progressivement pour former de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins; C) Les nouveaux vaisseaux permettent un apport en sang oxygéné au tissu musculaire en croissance, et la réparation des dommages causés par l’ischémie (publié dans le bulletin The Beat v4n1).

The bottom image clearly shows defects from missing data points in the matrices from another image. However, as different as the two sets of matrices appear, the overall result is not bad and suggests that a generic "universal" matrice could be derived.
The matrices from the two different sets of images are plotted as contour maps with 16 bands of 16 values each: 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, etc. 0-16 is in the lower left corner, 240-255 is in the upper right corner of the graphs. The contour bands are very distinct where the data is good. These correspond to areas in the image with a high pixel count, thus allowing calculation of more accurate average values for those data points.
Thanks again to Crankykoopa for providing the original images.

A Linotype machine forms lines of text from a series of matrices, each of which represents a character. Each character has a coding of teeth on its matrix. This allows the machine to quickly sort matrices so they can be reused. For instance, after the character "a" is used in a line of text, the machine moves the "a" matrix back to a storage area with all of the other "a" matrices that are available for a new line of text. The unique coding of teeth for each letter allows the machine to sort the matrices for each letter. See adjacent photos for more perspectives of the Linotype machine.

This type is 48 pt. Abbey Condensed, produced on the Monotype Super Caster; the matrices are not well-fitted and have some flash. The type size is almost too large for the 48 pt. body, being engraved prior to the standardization of sizes around 1880. As shown the cap "O" overhangs the body slightly on the top side, hence the need for a trimming device. In the old days, this process was manual and called "hand rubbing".

La chiesa di S. Maria della Strada in agro di Matrice è tra le basiliche più intriganti del Molise. Non solo per la sua architettura, per le sue leggende, per la sua storia, per le sue espressioni artistiche, ma anche per i suoi misteri.
Nel XVIII secolo nel Molise circolava una leggenda secondo la quale S. Maria della Strada sarebbe stata costruita in una sola notte insieme ad altre decine di chiese da un mitico Re Bove per espiare una violenza fatta ad una sua congiunta. Ad aiutarlo sarebbe stato il Diavolo che però non sarebbe riuscito a completare l’opera entro il tempo che il papa gli aveva imposto.
Una leggenda che non trova alcun fondamento storico, ma che qualcuno ancora racconta per giustificare la presenza sulla sua facciata dell’immagine ripetuta di un bue che sarebbe una sorta di firma dell’immaginario personaggio.....

The church of S. Maria della Strada in the countryside of Matrice is among the most intriguing basilicas in Molise. Not only for its architecture, for its legends, for its history, for its artistic expressions, but also for its mysteries.
In the eighteenth century a legend circulated in Molise according to which S. Maria della Strada was built in one night together with dozens of other churches by a mythical King Bove to expiate a violence done to one of his relatives. The Devil would have helped him, but he would not have been able to complete the work within the time that the Pope had imposed on him.
A legend that has no historical basis, but that someone still tells to justify the presence on its facade of the repeated image of an ox that would be a sort of signature of the imaginary character .....

To a typographer, a ‘grobe gemeine Fraktur’ is the lowercase of a bold (i.e. halbfette) blackletter. To everybody else, it must sound like a ‘cruel, crude bone fracture’.

Those vertical things are magazines of type matrices for the Linotype machine. To change to a different typeface or point size requires heaving a different magazine up on to the top of the Linotype. When I saw Ben Burkhart demonstrate his machines in 2003, I remember him mentioning how big a difference it made when the magazines were revised to have top panels made of aluminum, saving some weight.
Note the centered ear position on the 5 and M, vs the side ear position of the 2 and 3 mats. These mats are all Linotype18 delta 283, Cloister Bold. When did Linotype change their production, and why?
