paragraph: John Field (proto-Copernican)

paragraph: John Field or Feild (1520/1530–1587), was a "proto-Copernican" English astronomer. Field was the son of Richard Field (d. 1542). He was born, it is supposed, at Ardsley in the West Riding of Yorkshire between 1520 and 1530. He received a liberal education, and Joseph Hunter, his descendant, conjectured that part of it was gained under the patronage of Alured Comyn, Prior of Nostell, from which house the cell of Woodkirk, near Ardsley, depended. Anthony à Wood believed that he studied at Oxford.

paragraph: He was living in London at the date of his first "Ephemeris" (1556), and appears, from a remark in a manuscript in Lambeth Palace Library, to have been a public instructor in science.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: He published:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ephemeris anni 1557 currentis juxta Copernici et Reinholdi canones … per J. Feild … ad Meridianum Londinensem … supputata. Adjecta est Epistola J. Dee, qua vulgares istos Ephemeridum fictores reprehendit", London, 1556

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ephemerides trium annorum, an. 1558, 59 et 60 … ex Erasmi Reinoldi tabulis accuratissimè ad Meridianum Civitatis Londinensis supputatæ", London, 1558

paragraph: To the latter work the following are added:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Canon Ascensionum Obliquarum cujusvis stellæ non excedentis 8 gradus Latitudinis confectus", and

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Tabula Stellarum Fixarum insigniorum", &c.

paragraph: These works were the first in England in which the principles of the Copernican philosophy were recognised and asserted.

paragraph: Section::::Arms and crest.

paragraph: On 4 September 1558 Field received a confirmation of arms and the grant of a crest allusive to his attainments in astronomical science, viz. the device of a red arm issuing from the clouds and presenting a golden orrery.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In about 1560 he married Jane (d. 1609), daughter of John Amyas, a Kentish gentleman, and some time between that date and 1577, settled down at Ardsley, where he continued till his death, his position being that of a gentleman held in esteem among the better class of his neighbours. In the Yorkshire visitation of 1585 he recorded his arms and crest and the names of his wife and nine children. In his will, dated 28 Dec. 1586, he describes himself as a "fermer sometyme student in the mathymathicke sciences". He died soon after the date of this will, the administration of his estate being granted to his widow on 3 May 1587. He is believed to have been buried in the church of St Giles-without-Cripplegate in London, and a memorative plaque indicating the place of his burial exists within the church. His library passed into the hands of William Coley of York, who afterwards returned it to the family.

paragraph: Alexander Lindsay, 25th Earl of Crawford

paragraph: Alexander William Crawford Lindsay, 25th Earl of Crawford, 8th Earl of Balcarres (16 October 181213 December 1880), styled Lord Lindsay between 1825 and 1869, was a Scottish peer, art historian and collector.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Lindsay was born at Muncaster Castle in Cumbria, the son of James Lindsay, 24th Earl of Crawford. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. On 23 July 1846 he married Margaret Lindsay, daughter of Lt Gen James Lindsay and sister of Robert James Loyd-Lindsay VC KCB, 1st and last Baron Wantage of Lockinge. They had 7 children, including his heir, James Ludovic and Anne Lindsay, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's paternal aunt-by-marriage.

paragraph: He travelled widely studying art. He published "Progression by Antagonism" in 1846 and "Sketches of the History of Christian Art" in 1847. He became an avid art collector and many of his acquisitions are on display in galleries around the world.

paragraph: He travelled to the Middle East in 1837/38, writing "Letters on Egypt, Edom and the Holy Land". Later, he wrote "Etruscan Inscriptions Analysed" (1872), and "The Earldom of Mar during 500 years" (1882).

paragraph: His other passion was genealogy. He was the author of the three volume "Lives of the Lindsays" on the genealogy of his family. In 1868 he published "A memoir of Lady Anna Mackenzie, countess of Balcarres and afterwards of Argyll, 1621-1706", which recorded the life of Lady Anna Mackenzie.

paragraph: He inherited the earldom of Crawford and the earldom of Balcarres from his father James Lindsay, 24th Earl of Crawford, 7th Earl of Balcarres and was succeeded by his son James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford.

paragraph: Lindsay died in 1880 in Florence, Italy and his coffin was brought home for burial in a new family crypt at Dunecht House, near Aberdeen. Some time afterwards the body was stolen and eventually recovered from a shallow grave 14 months later. A monument marks where the body was found at Dunecht but the Earl's remains were buried again in the family vault in Wigan. A local poacher was convicted of grave-robbing.

paragraph: Section::::Bibliotheca Lindesiana.

paragraph: The "Bibliotheca Lindesiana", was planned by Lord Lindsay and both he and his eldest son were instrumental in building it up to such an extent that was one of the most impressive private collections in Britain at the time, both for its size and for the rarity of some of the materials it contained.

paragraph: The bulk of the library was kept at Haigh Hall in Lancashire with a part at Balcarres. The 26th Earl issued an extensive catalogue of the library in 1910: "Catalogue of the Printed Books Preserved at Haigh Hall, Wigan", 4 vols. folio, Aberdeen University Press, printers. Companion volumes to the catalogue record the royal proclamations and philatelic literature. The cataloguing and organization of the library was a major task for a team of librarians led by J. P. Edmond. The manuscript collections (including Chinese and Japanese printed books) were sold in 1901 to Enriqueta Augustina Rylands for the John Rylands Library.

paragraph: Arthur Uther Pendragon

paragraph: Arthur Uther Pendragon (born John Timothy Rothwell, 5 April 1954) is a British eco-campaigner, Neo-Druid leader, media personality, and self-declared reincarnation of King Arthur, a name by which he is also known. Pendragon was the "battle chieftain" of the Council of British Druid Orders.

paragraph: Born to a working-class family, Pendragon served in the British Army's Royal Hampshire Regiment before being discharged following an injury. Identifying as a greaser, he formed a biker club known as the Gravediggers, moving in counter-cultural circles at free festivals around Britain. After reading a book on King Arthur by the occultist Gareth Knight, he came to believe that he was the reincarnation of the legendary king and changed his name by deed poll. He formed the Loyal Arthurian Warband out of his supporters and began describing himself as a Druid. Angered that English Heritage charged entry to visit Stonehenge, an archaeological site in Wiltshire, between 1990 and 1991 he picketed outside the site on a daily basis.

paragraph: Later that decade he joined various eco-protests against road development across Britain and, with the Council of British Druid Orders, campaigned for open access to Stonehenge during the solstices. For several years, Pendragon engaged in direct action protests and was repeatedly arrested. English Heritage agreed to implement open access at the solstice in 2000. Pendragon later focused on campaigning for the return of human remains removed from Stonehenge by archaeologists in 2008. He continued to call for free access to the site.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life: 1954–1985.

paragraph: Pendragon was born John Timothy Rothwell to a working-class family on 5 April 1954. His mother, May Victoria Rothwell (née Barratt), was from London; his father, Wilfred Rothwell, was from Liverpool. The latter had served as a sergeant in the York and Lancashire Regiment of the British Army during the Second World War and on returning to civilian life became a lorry driver. Rothwell—who was nicknamed "Johnny" by his family—had an older brother and two younger siblings, one male and one female. Wilfred was a heavy drinker and this exacerbated tensions in his marriage, leading to a separation; the couple never officially divorced.

paragraph: Rothwell was raised largely around the area of Aldershot and Farnborough, spending much of his time on military bases and council estates. He later described being a rebellious child and a regular truant from school who was caught engaging in arson on one occasion. As a teenager, he read up on Druidry, occultism, and Zen Buddhism. He obtained a BSA C15 motorbike and began associating with biker gangs. In this period, he had multiple run-ins with the law and on one occasion was charged with affray against a policeman.

paragraph: Rothwell joined the British Army, being trained in Exeter before serving in the Royal Hampshire Regiment, where he was stationed in Hong Kong. During parachute training, his arm was injured and he was subsequently discharged from the military. He moved back to Farnborough, working for his cousin as a paint-sprayer and then as a roofer and fence erecter. He moved to Liverpool, where he shared a flat with his father, before relocating to Lancashire, where he worked as a supervisor on a country park project. There, he was initiated into a witchcraft group and joined the Universal Free Church. He married one of his co-workers, Liz, and they moved to Farnborough, where he became senior supervisor on the Basingstoke Canal Restoration Project, foreman for Ash Parish Council's parks and gardens, and finally general foreman for Laing Management Contracting. Dissatisfied with this lifestyle, after several years he and Liz separated and returned to more counter-cultural activities; Liz moved to Tintagel while Rothwell moved into a caravanette and re-embraced the biker subculture.

paragraph: As a biker, Rothwell identified as a greaser; he rode a custom-built Triumph Thunderbird. Rothwell and his friends formed a biker club, varyingly known as the Gravediggers and the Saddletramps. This group engaged in a feud with a rival biker gang, with Rothwell carrying a gun in case of altercations. He attended various free festivals around the country, at which he mixed with hippies, New Age travellers, and Druids. He was given the nickname "King John", because he held parties at the ruined castle at Odiham, also known as "King John's Castle". Rothwell took various jobs, including as a gardener; through this job he met and began a relationship with a woman named Angela, securing a divorce from his wife shortly after.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Becoming Arthur Pendragon: 1986–1991.

paragraph: After reading a book on King Arthur by the occultist Gareth Knight, Rothwell saw similarities between himself and the legendary king and came to believe that he was King Arthur reincarnated. On 11 June 1986, he officially changed his name to Arthur Uther Pendragon by deed poll. Shortly afterward, he bought a sword called Excalibur in a Farnborough shop; its seller stated that it had been the prop in the 1981 film "Excalibur". He designed a white robe with a red dragon on it and began regularly wearing it.

paragraph: Pendragon moved to Glastonbury in Somerset. He disbanded his biker club, and formed a group he called the Arthurian Warband, divided into three sections: the Shield Knights, Quest Knights, and Brother Knights. To attract interest for this organisation, he put adverts in magazines like "Back Street Heroes", a biker magazine. Through this, he gained his first member, a black East Ender whom he called "Parsival" or "Parsley" after the legendary Arthurian knight. Pendragon had also passed the test allowing him to join Mensa, and he gained another recruit by advertising in the organisation's magazine. Membership of the Warband grew; however, his relationship with Angela ended and she returned to Farnborough.

paragraph: Pendragon began writing poetry, assembling a collected volume of writings by himself and other Warband members, "The Latter Day Book of Arthurian Bards", which they privately published. He began to attract interest around Glastonbury. He came into contact with the Druid Rollo Maughfling, attending a Beltane ritual that Maughfling's Glastonbury Order of Druids held on Glastonbury Tor.

paragraph: The archaeological site at Stonehenge in Wiltshire was important to Pendragon; he had visited it to seeking spiritual confirmation of his decision to change his name. He was angered that English Heritage, the state body responsible for managing the site, charged visitors entry, believing that everyone should be able to visit the site for free.

paragraph: At the time, he referred to English Heritage as "English Heretics". Between September 1990 and January 1991 he held a daily protest outside the entrance to the Stonehenge visitor's centre, holding up a placard stating: "Don't Pay, Walk Away". During this period, he moved out of his caravan and lived in an area of woodland around two miles from Stonehenge; he survived largely on donations of food from his sympathisers. Many visitors to Stonehenge had their photograph taken with him and he attracted the interest of local press, being the subject of an article in the "Salisbury Journal". English Heritage threatened to serve an injunction against him unless he desisted, but never carried out the threat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Druidry and the solstice protests: 1991–2001.

paragraph: After his Stonehenge picket, Pendragon began identifying as a Druid and renamed his Arthurian Warband as the Loyal Arthurian Warband (LAW). He established good relations with several other Druid groups, being appointed "Honoured Pendragon" of the Glastonbury Order of Druids (GOD) and "Official Swordbearer" of the Secular Order of Druids (SOD).

paragraph: Around this time, he was brought before a magistrates court for his refusal to pay the recently introduced poll tax and found guilty; he paid off the moneys owed with the finances gained after a successful case that he brought against Wiltshire police for wrongful arrest and unlawful imprisonment. In January 1993, he was crowned as King by a group of supporters at the Coronation Stone in Kingston upon Thames, London.

paragraph: Ever since the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985, English Heritage had banned open access to Stonehenge on the solstices to prevent revellers damaging the monument. In protest at this decision, every solstice a large group of New Age travellers, modern Pagans, hippies, and bikers assembled outside the police cordon surrounding the site. Each year, Pendragon was amongst the protest and every year he walked past the cordon and was arrested, after which he would spend the night in a cell of Salisbury Police Station. He joined the Council of British Druid Orders (COBOD), a group campaigning for open access to the site, and pushed for reform within the group. He successfully urged them to switch from a mandatory to a voluntary annual membership fee and encouraged the adoption of direct action tactics to push their cause.

paragraph: At the 1994 solstice protests outside Stonehenge, he brought a documentary crew from BBC Radio 4 with him to publicise his actions in pushing through the cordon and getting arrested. That same year, he send other LAW members to squat in Winchester Cathedral to raise awareness and to demand that the Church of England give support to their cause. At the 1995 solstice, while he was again trying to breach the police cordon around Stonehenge, he sent other LAW members to lock English Heritage staff out of their London office to demonstrate their point. In 1996, he was joined in the protest by Shelly, his recently-discovered teenage daughter; she was arrested alongside him for breaching the police cordon.

paragraph: The 1990s saw the growth of a new environmentalist protest movement geared at opposing the expansion of the road system through woodlands and other rural areas. In 1993, Pendragon appeared at a Beltane ceremony on St Catherine's Hill for the eco-protesters fighting the proposed M3 motorway expansion. After the ritual, he joined the protesters in getting in the way of diggers on Twyford Down. Over the coming years he would visit various other eco-protests against road expansion, often bringing with him media publicity for their cause. He also supported campaigns for workers' rights, attending protests by striking dockers in Liverpool.

paragraph: In 1996, he joined an eco-protest camp in Newbury, where he climbed a tree to stop it being cut down, remaining there until being pulled out by police. He then established his own camp further along the proposed track of the Newbury bypass with other members of the LAW, calling it "Camelot". They were aware that the longer they remained there, the costlier it would be for developers and the less likely that such projects would be commissioned in future. In April 1996, contractors sought to evict the protesters from the camp. In one incident, a chauffeur-driven Jaguar was driven into Pendragon and other protesters in a hit and run attack; the owner was later revealed as a wealthy local with a financial stake in the development. Following the attack, the car was damaged when one Druid smashed its window with an axe. The chauffeur and its owner claimed that the attack was unprovoked and police decided to press charged. Pendragon and two other Druids were charged with violent disorder over the incident, with the case being tried at Reading Crown Court. Over the course of the case, the judge instructed the jury to find Pendragon not guilty on all charges; the jury also found the other two defendants not guilty.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:Stonehenge.

paragraph: Pendragon is best known for his legal battles with English Heritage regarding the monument of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, a site of great religious significance to Neo-Druids. Throughout the 1990s, he campaigned for the removal of the four-mile exclusion zone which was established each year during the summer solstice. On 19 October 1998, with assistance from organisations such as Liberty who acted as his counsel, Pendragon had his case heard by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He claimed that the exclusion zone around Stonehenge was restricting his freedom of thought, conscience, religion and freedom of expression, in contravention of Articles 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights. The court decided in favour of the UK government. However, the exclusion zone was lifted the following year, after an unrelated case brought before the House of Lords ruled that the public have a right to assembly on a public highway.

paragraph: In June 2008, Pendragon set up a protest camp on a byway near the monument, demanding free access to Stonehenge for everyone. He insisted that the fences surrounding the site should be removed, and that the two nearby A roads (the A344 and A303) should be closed or redirected. He occupied the byway for ten months, and obtained 8,000 signatures in support of his petition. On 24 April 2009, he was ordered by Salisbury County Court to dismantle his camp and leave, following complaints from Wiltshire Council that he was obstructing traffic. Pendragon defied the order. He finally ended his protest on 19 May, after English Heritage announced plans to move a section of the A303 underground, and to create a new visitor centre about a mile-and-a-half away from the stones.

paragraph: In August 2011, Pendragon filed a High Court appeal calling for the cremated remains of more than forty bodies to be immediately reburied. The remains had been exhumed from a burial site at Stonehenge in 2008, to be studied at Sheffield University. The appeal was rejected. Pendragon has also voiced his opposition to English Heritage's plan to display three more sets of human remains at the new visitor centre, claiming that out of respect to the ancient British ancestors, replica bones should be on view instead.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:Poll tax protest.

paragraph: On 24 January 1994, Pendragon was summoned to magistrates' court after refusing to pay two years' worth of poll tax. His case was presided over by Lord Tenby, who allowed Pendragon to wear his robes and sword in court, and allowed him to swear oath on his sword. At the end of the hearing, the case went against Pendragon and he was ordered to pay the money owed.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:Other legal cases.

paragraph: Pendragon has been arrested, mainly for trespass, over 30 times. Whilst in prison on remand, he has been denied his right to wear his own clothing – his Neo-Druidic robe – and ordered to wear prison uniform. Pendragon, refusing to comply with these orders, has then been left without clothing and put in solitary confinement.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Pendragon is a self-proclaimed English eccentric, and says that this helps him in his political work. He has stood in several elections – most recently as an Independent candidate for Salisbury in 2010, 2015 and 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: The Pendragon biography noted that he was one of those Druids "whose motivations are fundamentally political and radical".

paragraph: In Pendragon's co-written autobiography, it is noted that Pendragon viewed Britain as "a land, not an identity" and as "a feeling, not a language", and this "it welcomes all who arrive on these shores". It was noted that his patriotism was "inclusive, not exclusive. It was welcoming of other cultures and other stories".

paragraph: In that biography, it was noted that Pendragon could be self-centred, vain, and impatient with others, and that he was sometimes unable to see perspectives other than his own. It also noted that he was "a man who laughed at himself".

paragraph: Section::::Reception and legacy.

paragraph: Some in Britain's Druidic community thought that Pendragon brought Druidry into disrepute with his politicised campaigns and direct action tactics.

paragraph: Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc

paragraph: Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc (1712 in Wisconsin?, French Louisiana – 15 December 1775 in Paris, France) was a famous feral child of the 18th century in France who was known as The Wild Girl of Champagne, The Maid of Châlons, or The Wild Child of Songy.

paragraph: Her case is more controversial than that of some other feral children because a few modern-day scholars have regarded it as either wholly or partly fictional. However, in 2004, the French author Serge Aroles argued that it was indeed authentic, after spending ten years carrying out archival research into French and American history.

paragraph: Aroles speculates that Marie-Angélique had survived for ten years living wild in the forests of France, between the ages of nine and 19, before she was captured by villagers in Songy in Champagne in September 1731. He claims that she was born in 1712 as a Native American of the Meskwaki (or "Fox") people in what today is the Midwestern U.S. state of Wisconsin and that she died in Paris in 1775, aged 63. Aroles found archival documents showing that she learned to read and write as an adult, thus making her unique among feral children.

paragraph: Section::::Contemporary accounts.

paragraph: The story of Marie-Angélique's life in the wild was publicised in the mid-18th century in both France and in Britain through a short pamphlet biography of her by the French writer Marie-Catherine Homassel Hecquet edited by the French scientist-explorer Charles-Marie de la Condamine and published in Paris in 1755. This appeared in an English translation in 1768 as "An Account of a Savage Girl, Caught Wild in the Woods of Champagne". However, it was not error-free since it gave Marie-Angélique's age at the time of her capture as ten although it is now speculated to have been nineteen.

paragraph: Interviews with Marie-Angélique herself were recorded by the French royal courtier and diarist Charles-Philippe d’Albert, Duc de Luynes (1753), the French poet Louis Racine ("c". 1755) and the Scottish philosopher-judge James Burnett, Lord Monboddo (1765). In addition, accounts of her were published by the French naturalists Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1759) and Jacques-Christophe Valmont de Bomare (1768), Lord Monboddo (1768) (1773) and (1795), the Châlons lawyer-antiquary Claude-Rémy Buirette de Verrières (1788) and the French historian Abel Hugo (1835).

paragraph: Section::::Marie-Catherine Homassel Hecquet.

paragraph: Marie-Catherine Homassel-Hecquet (June 12, 1686 – 8 July 1764) was a French biographical author of the first half of the 18th century. She was the wife of the Abbeville merchant Jacques Homassel and the semi-anonymous "Madame H–––t" who published a pamphlet biography of the famous feral child Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc, "Histoire d'une jeune fille sauvage trouvée dans les bois à l’âge de dix ans", in Paris in 1755. This appeared in an English translation in 1768 as "An Account of a Savage Girl", with a preface by the Scottish philosopher-judge James Burnett, Lord Monboddo, which anticipates some of the later evolutionary theories of the English scientist Charles Darwin.

paragraph: However, just how much of "Histoire d'une jeune fille sauvage" Hecquet herself wrote is not clear and the work has sometimes been attributed to the French scientist-explorer Charles-Marie de la Condamine, even though La Condamine himself publicly denied its authorship. The biography was advertised in Paris in 1755 as "Brochure in-12 de 72 pag. Prix 1 liv." ("Pamphlet in duodecimo of 72 pages. Price 1 French livre") and was sold in shops in the city in order to provide a small income for Marie-Angélique herself.

paragraph: At the time, La Condamine described Hecquet as "a widow, who lives near St. Marceau and, having met and befriended the girl after the death of M. the Duke d’Orleans who was protecting her, took pains to write her story".

paragraph: Very little else is known about her other than that she was a correspondent and former childhood friend of Marie-Andrée Regnard Duplessis (1687–1760), a nun and mother superior of the Hôtel-Dieu convent in Quebec in Canada. In later life she is believed to have gone into a religious retreat at an unknown location, perhaps as a nun.

paragraph: Section::::Modern assessments.

paragraph: The story of Marie-Angélique's life remains little-known in English-speaking countries and appeared to have been almost forgotten in France until quite recently, with the publication of Julia Douthwaite's articles and book. It was featured in broadcasts by the French radio channel Europe1 in 2011 and by the France Inter channel in 2012.

paragraph: The French surgeon-author Serge Aroles summarizes Marie-Angélique's life in his second book, "L’Enigme des enfants-loups: Une certitude biologique mais un déni des archives 1304–1954" (Paris, Editions Publibook, 2007):

paragraph: These archives [those studied by Aroles himself] suggest that the only feral child to have survived in the forests for as long as ten years without irreversible deterioration of body or mind was an Amerindian of the 'Renards' or 'Fox' people. She was brought to France from Canada by a lady who unfortunately arrived [by ship] in Marseille during the bubonic plague epidemic in Provence in 1720.

paragraph: Having escaped the plague that should have killed her, Marie-Angélique walked thousands of kilometers through the forests of the kingdom of France before being captured in 1731 in the province of Champagne in a state of savagery. During these ten years, she did not live with wolves, but survived them by resisting their attacks with a wooden club and another weapon [a long stick with a sharp metal tip] that she either found or stole. When she was captured, this black-skinned, hairy and clawed huntress was showing some characteristics of regression (she knelt down to drink water and had regular sideways eye movements, similar to nystagmus, the result of a life lived in a state of permanent alertness). However, this girl overcame an extreme challenge harder than the cold, wolves, or hunger: she recovered the faculty of human speech after ten years of mutism.

paragraph: Despite Aroles' speculation that she was 19 years old when she was captured, a printed text [Hecquet's "Histoire d’une jeune fille sauvage"] claimed that she was ten. Her intellectual rebirth was important: she learned to read and write, became a nun for a time in a royal abbey, became destitute, was rescued financially by the Queen of France (spouse of Louis XV), maintained her dignity in the face of her long battle with an illness, and died relatively wealthy, as the inventory of her goods shows.

paragraph: The Scottish philosopher Monboddo, who interviewed Marie-Angélique in 1765, considered her to be the most extraordinary person of his time. However, this woman was forgotten; she disappears, for more than two centuries, behind all the heroines of fiction.

paragraph: In September 2002, the University of Chicago Press published the first scholarly book on this case, by Julia V. Douthwaite, "The Wild Girl, Natural Man, and the Monster: Dangerous Experiments in the Age of Enlightenment".

paragraph: In January 2015, the Paris publisher Editions Delcourt published a comic book based on Marie-Angélique's life, "Sauvage: Biographie de Marie-Angélique le Blanc", written by Jean David Morvan and Aurélie Beviere and illustrated by Gaëlle Hersent.

paragraph: Guillaume-Abel Blouet

paragraph: Guillaume-Abel Blouet (6 October 1795 – 7 May 1853) was a French architect who specialised in prison design.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Blouet was born at Passy. He won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1821 at the École des Beaux-Arts, entitling him to five years' study at the French Academy in Rome. The study of Roman architecture that was expected from students at the French Academy at Rome resulted in his speculative restoration of the original construction of the Baths of Caracalla, "Restauration des thermes d'Antonin Caracalla, à Rome, présentée en 1826 et dédiée en 1827 à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts" (1828).

paragraph: The Institut de France appointed Blouet the head of the fine arts section of the French Morea expedition 1828-1833, the second of three great military-scientific expeditions led by France in the first half of the 19th century, in which geologists and antiquarians accompanied an expedition with military objectives, in this case to deport all Ottoman nationals from the Morea, a turning-point in the Greek War of Independence. In the course of the expedition he established the identity of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia (1829), which was measured and carefully drawn and published.

paragraph: Having overseen the completion of the Arc de Triomphe (1831–36), he toured the United States in 1836, together with Frédéric-Auguste Demetz, a penal reformer and lawyer at the French Royal Court, to study American prison architecture and administration for the French Ministry of the Interior.

paragraph: Upon Blouet's return to Paris he devoted himself to the reform of prison design and in 1838 was appointed to the new post of Inspector General of French Prisons, which brought with it, "ex officio", a seat on the Conseil des bâtiments civiles, the official national body that succeeded the Bâtiments du Roi of the Ancien Régime. Blouet believed in using architecture to realize social reform and together with Demetz worked on the design and layout of the buildings for the Mettray Penal Colony, an agricultural reform school, which was initially directed by Demetz after its opening in July 1839. It was noted as being officially opened on 22 January 1840.

paragraph: In 1846 he was appointed a professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and in 1848, when his post of Inspector General of Prisons was eliminated in a reorganization, he was given in compensation the position of architect in charge of the Palais de Fontainebleau, which was to be a center of court life under the French Second Empire. He revised and completed the "Traité théorique et pratique de l'art de bâtir" of Jean-Baptiste Rondelet (1847). He was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1850.

paragraph: He died in Paris in 1853.

paragraph: Jarrod Daniel Kenny (born 17 September 1985) is a New Zealand professional basketball player for the Hawke's Bay Hawks of the National Basketball League (NBL). The 188 cm point guard attended Westlake Boys High School and has represented the New Zealand Tall Blacks multiple times.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New Zealand NBL.

paragraph: From 2002 to 2008, Kenny split time between playing for the Harbour Heat and earning his physiotherapy degree at the Auckland University of Technology.

paragraph: In December 2008, Kenny signed with the Hawke's Bay Hawks for the 2009 New Zealand NBL season. He became a staple with the Hawks, spending the next seven seasons with the team.

paragraph: On 29 December 2014, Kenny signed with Licher BasketBären of the German ProB. He appeared in 12 games for Licher, averaging 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He returned to New Zealand in early April for the start of the 2015 NBL season.

paragraph: On 2 November 2015, Kenny signed with the Nelson Giants for the 2016 season. He joined the Giants on 23 March 2016. He appeared in 14 games for the Giants in 2016, averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

paragraph: On 20 September 2016, Kenny signed with the Hawke's Bay Hawks for the 2017 season, returning to the franchise after an injury-plagued 2016 season. On 1 April 2017, he recorded 22 points and 15 assists in the Hawks' 102–91 loss to the Wellington Saints. With the Hawks in 2017, Kenny averaged career-best numbers with 12.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists over 15 games.

paragraph: On 14 November 2017, Kenny re-signed with the Hawks for the 2018 season. He returned to the Hawks for the 2019 season. On 21 April 2019, he recorded 15 assists and 10 rebounds to go with five points in a 105–95 win over the Southern Huskies.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Perth Wildcats.

paragraph: Kenny spent multiple seasons with the New Zealand Breakers as a practice squad player, but never got the callup to the top group. After impressing during the 2015 FIBA Oceania Championship, Kenny signed with the Perth Wildcats for the 2015–16 NBL season on 1 September 2015. On 6 November 2015, he scored a season-high 12 points in the Wildcats' 85–77 win over the Townsville Crocodiles. Kenny helped the Wildcats win the NBL Championship in March 2016 with a 2–1 grand final series win over the New Zealand Breakers.

He returned to action on 17 November 2016 against the Sydney Kings and recorded a career-high five assists. Despite his minutes decreasing in 2016–17, Kenny remained a crucial figure in the rotation; his hard-nosed defensive aptitude, team-first mindset and likening for the big moment have made him a firm favourite of coach Trevor Gleeson. The Wildcats went on to win the NBL Championship in March 2017. In 30 games, he averaged 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

paragraph: In January of the 2017–18 season, Kenny began playing in career-best form.

paragraph: Nicolaus Reimers

paragraph: Nicolaus Reimers Baer (2 February 1551 – 16 October 1600), also "Reimarus Ursus", "Nicolaus Reimers Bär" or "Nicolaus Reymers Baer", was an astronomer and imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II. Due to his family's background, he was also known as "Bär", Latinized to "Ursus" ("bear").

paragraph: Reimers was born in Hennstedt and received hardly any education in his youth, herding pigs until the age of 18. Yet, Heinrich Rantzau discovered his talents and employed him from 1574 to 1584 as geometer. Accordingly, Reimers in 1580 published a Latin Grammar and in 1583 his "Geodaesia Ranzoviana". Rantzau also arranged a meeting with Tycho Brahe.

paragraph: From 1585 to 1586 he was employed as a private tutor in Pomerania and from 1586 to 1587, Reimers stayed at the court of William IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel in Kassel, where he met Swiss instrument maker Jost Bürgi (1552–1632). Both were autodidacts and thus had a similar background. As Bürgi did not understand Latin, Reimers translated Copernicus' "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" into German for Bürgi. A copy of the translation survived in Graz, it is thus called "Grazer Handschrift".

paragraph: Reimers was a bitter rival of Tycho Brahe (his successor as imperial mathematician) after he tried to claim the Tychonic system as his own. Tycho complained that Ursus had plagiarized both his system of the world, as well as the publication of the mathematical model of prosthaphaeresis. History has sided with Ursus on the later issue, and he had stated that the technique was the invention of Paul Wittich and Jost Bürgi.

paragraph: In 1588 he claimed to have devised a model of the solar system where the planets revolved around the Sun, while the Earth only spun around on its axis. In this he differed from Copernicus, who had postulated also that the Earth orbited the Sun. Ursus objected to the Copernican model as it violated the Aristotelian principle of not allowing more than one natural movement by a body.

paragraph: Johannes Kepler committed a faux pas early in his career by sending a laudatory letter to Reimers while seeking the patronage of Tycho. Ursus published the letter in the preface to his work claiming priority for Tycho's cosmological ideas.

paragraph: But unlike Tycho's geoheliocentric system in which the Earth does not rotate and the Martian and Solar orbits intersect, in that of Ursus and his follower Roslin the Earth had a daily rotation and also the Martian and Solar orbits do not intersect, thus avoiding the Tychonic conclusion in respect of the Martian orbit that there are no solid celestial spheres on the ground that they cannot possibly interpenetrate. But on the other hand the orbits of Mercury and Venus would obviously intersect the Martian orbit in Reimers' illustration of his model, and indeed also intersect Jupiter's orbit.

paragraph: However Kepler discovered Tycho had posited intersecting Martian and Solar orbits because he had mistakenly concluded from his data that at opposition Mars was closer to the Earth than the Sun was. The source of the error was a research assistants' mistaken calculation of Mars's daily parallax from observations during its 1582-3 opposition as greater than that of the Sun's presumed 3' parallax. Kepler discovered Tycho’s observations revealed little or no Martian parallax, implying it was further than the Sun at opposition. This would have refuted Tycho's system in favour of Ursus's and Roslin's. It seems it has yet to be determined whether the dominant astronomical system of the 17th century was the geoheliocentric system of Tycho or that of Ursus and Roslin at least in respect of non-intersecting Solar and Martian orbits, and also in that of the Earth's rotation or not.

paragraph: Yaakov Shaul Elyashar

paragraph: Yaakov Shaul Elyashar (1 June 1817 – 21 July 1906), also known as Yisa Berakhah, was a 19th-century Sephardi rabbi in Ottoman Syria. He became Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Palestine in 1893.

paragraph: Section::::Biography and rabbinic career.

paragraph: Yaakov Shaul Elyashar was born in Safed to a prominent Sephardi rabbinical family which had resided in the Land of Israel for centuries. His father, Rabbi Eliezer Yeruham Elyashar, was a shochet. In 1824, when Elyashar was 7, his father died. The family was thrown into poverty, and his mother sold her home and belongings and supported her only son by working as a seamstress. They moved to Jerusalem, and in 1828, she married Rabbi Binyamin Mordechai Navon, who adopted Elyashar and became his teacher and mentor. By the time of his Bar Mitzvah, he was already considered a Torah prodigy. In 1832 at age 15, Elyashar married an orphaned girl. They had four children, three of whom were born while they were still living in his stepfather's home. In 1853 he was appointed "dayan" in Jerusalem, and sent as the emissary of Jerusalem's Sephardic community to Alexandria to persuade the Jewish community there to annul its decision to cease receiving rabbinic emissaries from the Land of Israel. He was successful in persuading them to annul the decision and was invited to become the city's rabbi, but refused. He became associate head of the Jerusalem "beth din" in 1855 and head of the "beth din" in 1869.

paragraph: In 1893 he became the "Rishon LeZion" or Sephardi chief rabbi of Palestine following the death of "Rishon LeZion" Raphael Meir Panigel. He remained in this position for the next 13 years until his death in 1906. Rabbi Shmuel Salant was the chief rabbi of the Ashkenazi community at the time and they enjoyed very warm relations and collaborated on various issues affecting the entire Jewish community in Palestine.

paragraph: Elyashar wrote thousands of responses to questions from Ashkenazim, Sephardim and Temanim throughout the world, most of which were published in the Questions and Responsa ""Maase Ish"".

paragraph: Section::::Commemoration and legacy.

paragraph: The Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Shaul is named after Elyashar.

paragraph: Geoffrey Luttrell

paragraph: Sir Geoffrey Luttrell III (1276 – 23 May 1345) lord of the manor of Irnham in Lincolnshire was a mediaeval knight remembered principally today as having commissioned the Luttrell Psalter, a rare and profusely illustrated manuscript now in the British Library in London.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was the son of Robert Luttrell (died 1296) and a descendant of Sir Geoffrey de Luterel. He was referred to as the 2nd Lord of Irnham. His family's arms were: "Azure, a bend between six martlets argent". Another branch of the Luttrell family, which bore the same arms but differenced by tincture ("Or, a bend between six martlets sable"), in 1376 acquired Dunster Castle in Somerset, where they were seated until the extinction of the male line in 1737 (although the family continued at Dunster until 1976 via a female line which adopted the surname and arms of Luttrell).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Within the last five years before his death in 1345 he commissioned the Luttrell Psalter, the illustrations to which include a representation of him, his wife and his daughter-in-law, with profuse display of his armorials.

paragraph: Although he has been praised for his patronage of the arts, it has also been claimed that Luttrell, like many medieval landowners of his time, was capable of ruthlessness and violence. A private war which he conducted together with his neighbour Roger de Birthorpe against the monks of Sempringham Priory was considered serious enough to warrant a Royal Commission of Inquiry in 1312. However, it has been argued that Birthorpe was the principal offender and that Luttrell was to blame only for supporting his friend; this may be borne out by the fact that while Birthorpe was outlawed for a time, Luttrell seems to have escaped censure.

paragraph: Paul Abraham

paragraph: Paul Abraham (; 2 November 1892 – 6 May 1960) was a Jewish-Hungarian composer of operettas, who scored major successes in the German-speaking world. His specialty - and own innovation - was the insertion of jazz interludes into operettas.

paragraph: Abraham was born in Apatin, Austria-Hungary (today Serbia), and studied at the Royal National Hungarian Academy of Music in Budapest from 1910 to 1916. He studied cello with Adolf Schiffer and composition with Viktor Herzfeld.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Like many other composers of operettas, Paul Abraham started with works of a serious nature. During the decade following his studies he wrote, among other things, sacred music, string quartets and a concerto for violoncello. When he was appointed conductor at the Budapest Operetta Theatre in 1927 he found his way to this more popular art form which was more suited to his talent.

paragraph: His first operetta, "Der Gatte des Fräuleins", was written in 1928. With his third, "Viktoria und ihr Husar (1930)", he achieved a resounding success. Through this work, and the next two operettas from 1931 and 1933 "Die Blume von Hawaii" ("lit. "The Flower of Hawaii") and "Ball im Savoy" he became renowned worldwide. He also wrote numerous film scores.

paragraph: The Nazi seizure of power in 1933 forced Abraham to abandon his domicile in Berlin and leave Germany. He was unwanted both as a Jew, and as the author of "Die Blume von Hawaii", considered a piece of "degenerate art" by the Nazis, and telling the story of a German sailor who falls in love with a Hawaiian girl.

paragraph: Via Vienna and Paris he moved to Cuba where he earned a modest living as a pianist and later emigrated to New York City. After a mental breakdown he was in February 1946 committed to the Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, later to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens. In May 1956 he returned to live in Hamburg, Germany, where he received treatment at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. He died four years later, aged 67.

paragraph: Marcin Kalinowski

paragraph: Marcin Kalinowski (c. 1605 – 1652) was a Polish magnate and nobleman (szlachcic), Kalinowa coat of arms, Field Crown Hetman. He was the son of Walenty Aleksander Kalinowski who fell at the Battle of Cecora (1620).

paragraph: He began his studies in Poland and continued his education at the University of Leuven. His considerable wealth enabled him to establish his own private army, which suppressed Cossack riots and Tatar raids in Ukraine. In 1635 he became the first voivode of the Czernihów Voivodship. In 1646 he was appointed Field Crown Hetman. During the Khmelnytsky Uprising, he was captured by the Tatars after the Battle of Korsun in 1648. He was a prisoner-of-war until 1650 when he was ransomed. On 12 May 1651 he commanded victorious Polish army in the Battle of Kopyczyńce between Poles and combined Cossack-Tatar forces under chief Asand Demko. In 1651, during the subsequent hostilities between the Commonwealth and Cossack-Tatar alliance, he was the nominal commander of the Polish army right wing at the great victorious Battle of Beresteczko ("de facto" commanded Jeremi Wiśniowiecki). Upon death of Grand Crown Hetman Mikołaj Potocki, who was his political and personal adversary, hetman Kalinowski commanded the choicest elements of the Commonwealth army and he had at the camp at Batoh about 10–12,000 soldiers and 10–15,000 servants and camp followers. This army was surprised by the combined Cossack-Tatar army, consequently defeated and then capture of Polish soldiers and servants resulted in a wholesale slaughter of the best elements of Commonwealth army and their retinues, the event known as Battle of Batoh. Hetman was killed on 2 June 1652, during the last day of the battle, when trying to escape from the Cossack-Tatars-filled burning Polish camp, in woods some 3 kilometers from the Polish camp. Hetman's severed head was carried around the Cossack-Tatar camps, allegedly by the Nuredin-Sultan himself.

paragraph: Section::::Family and possessions.

paragraph: Marcin Kalinowski married princes Helena Korecka, Pogonia coat of arms, with whom he had a son Samuel Jerzy Kalinowski, who as a young cavalry commander died with his father at Batoh.

paragraph: Kalinowski was a large landowner in Podolia and Ukraine, amongst others he was the owner of Tulchyn and castle at Sidorów, now a ruin.
