paragraph: Nikolai Melgunov

paragraph: Nikolai Alexandrovich Melgunov (, April 1804, – 16 February 1867) was a Russian writer, publicist, translator from German and French, and music critic, described as one of the most prolific and diverse authors of his time.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Melgunov was born in village Petrovskoye in Oryol Governorate to a noble family of a retired army officer, and received good home education. In his teens he was sent to Kharkov to be tutored for the university exams and spent there three years which he later remembered with great affection. In 1818 the 14-year-old published his first translation, from French ("The Coming of Spring", from Bernardin de Saint-Pierre), in "Ukrainsky Vestnik", edited by the Kharkov professor Gonorsky, one of his then tutors.

paragraph: After having studied for two years at the Courses for the children of nobility at the Saint Petersburg Pedagogical institute (where among his tutors were Wilhelm Kuchelbecker and Konstantin Arsenyev), Melgunov dropped out due to poor health and accompanied his father to Western Europe in a journey which lasted three years. After returning, the Melgunovs settled in Moscow where their house became an important center of the cultural life in the city in 1820s–1830s. Having passed the exams at the Moscow University enabling him to get the diploma, Melgunov joined the Foreign Ministry office where he worked mostly in archives and libraries until 1834. In mid-1820s he joined the circle of the Lyubomudrys. With fellow members Stepan Shevyryov and Vladimir Titov he translated the 1796 book "Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders" (as "On Artists and Art", in 1826) by Ludwig Tieck and Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder, which proved to be highly influential for the development of the Romantic literature in Russia.

paragraph: In the early 1930s, writing mostly for "Molva", "Teleskop" and "Moskovsky Nablyudatel" (the magazine designed with the express purpose of resisting the first wave of commercialism in Russian literature, which he was the co-founder of), Melgunov became a popular music critic and essayist. His work "Musical Letopis" has won him high praise from Vissarion Belinsky. A gifted piano player, he authored numerous romances, based on the poetry by Pushkin, Delvig and Alexey Khomyakov (whose work he especially admired), among many others. Some of them were collected in "Pesni i romansy" (Songs and Romances, 1832).

paragraph: After retiring from the Foreign Ministry in 1834 Melgunov concentrated on popularizing Russian literature abroad. The book "Literarische Bilder aus Russland" by H. Konigs was written on the basis of its author talks with Melgunov, parts of it even dictated by the latter. This first attempt to present the coherent history of Russian literature to the Western reader was met with great appraisal in Germany and was soon translated into several European languages. The reaction in Russia was less benign. "Do not take Koenig at his word, this Muscovite [Melgunov] is of too high an opinion of his own club," Pyotr Pletnyov warned Yakov Grot in his 1841 letter. Strongly negative reviews arrived from "Severnaya Ptchela" and "Syn Otechestva", the reviewers (Faddey Bulgarin and Ksenofont Polevoy, respectively) expressing their outrage with Melgunov's dismissal of a huge bulk of contemporary Russian authors as 'sell-outs'. Bulgarin in his letter addressed to Alexander von Benckendorff (then the head of the Special Corps of Gendarmes in Imperial Russia) even deplored the fact that "this M.[elgunov], Koenig's prompter, is still safe and well!"

paragraph: Melgunov the prosaic debuted with "Kto zhe on?" (So Who's He?). The novel published by "Teleskop" in October–December 1831, was influenced, apparently, by Charles Maturin's 1820 Gothic novel Melmoth the Wanderer as well as the stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Three years later it was included into a two-volume compilation "Tales of Truth and Fantasy" (Рассказы о былом и небывалом, 1834) which also included short novels "Zimny vecher" (Winter Evening), "Prorochesky son" (Prophetic Dream) and "Lyubov-vospitatel" (Love the Educaor). These early attempts were well received by critics, notably Osip Senkovsky who favourably compared some of them to the prose by Alexander Pushkin.

paragraph: In the late 1830s and early 1840s Melgunov lived mostly in Europe (Germany, Austria, Italy and France) writing critical essays on Russian authors, like Gogol and Lermontov. His late-1830s works were published in mid-1840s, under the pen name N. Livensky (Н. Ливенский) which he started to use, fearing the hostility on the part of his Slavophile opponents. They included the novel "Tma i svet" (Darkness and Light, 1844, published in fragments), as well as the novellas "Zhivaya i mertvaya voda" (Water Alive and Dead, 1844), "Systematic" (The System Man, 1844) and "Svidetel" (The Witness, 1845), they were dismissed by some critics as preposterous and overblown. Much better received were his traveller's sketches and critical essays, lively written and insightful.

paragraph: In the 1840s and 1850s Melgunov adopted the centrist's position as regards the conflict between the Slavophiles and the Westerners in Russia, seeing both as the two extremes which could be seen and used as "stairs towards the synthesis," maintaining close links with Pyotr Chaadayev, Alexander Hertzen and Timofey Granovsky on the one hand, and Ivan Kireyevsky and Alexey Khomyakov on the other. Such a stance was not taken kindly by both parties and soon led to his departure from both "Sovremennik" and "Moskvityanin.

paragraph: In 1854–56 Мelgunov became close to Konstantin Kavelin and Boris Chicherin and took part in disseminating banned manuscripts of liberal authors. Three of his own essays, published by Hertzen in "Voices from Russia" in 1856–1857 were widely read and much discussed in Russia. In 1856 he moved to Paris started to work more actively for Hertzen's publications, coordinate efforts, collect the material and attract new authors. Ivan Turgenev, whom he met here on several occasions, while making fun of what he referred to Melgunov's 'eccentricities', still spoke affectionately of his 'gentle, pure character'.

paragraph: In the late 1850s "Otechestvennye Zapiski" published Melgunov's acclaimed series of the essays on the European politics, as well as the place of a Russian in Europe ("Tourists as Such and the Russian Ones, in Particular", "Russian Voice in the European Dissent", "The Peoples in History", "Notes of a Russian in Paris"). He greeted the Emancipation reform of 1861 and wrote several articles on it, mostly in "Nashe Vremya" newspaper, which soon led to his rift with Hertzen.

paragraph: In summer 1865 Melgunov's health deteriorated, and he returned to Russia. He died in Moscow on 16 February 1867.

She graduated from IE University with a degree in Business administration and has continued with her musical career ever since. Ellar is praised for her close proximity to fans, notably visible in her concerts, where she can often be seen intimately surrounded by the audience.

paragraph: She has been host to numerous radio and television interviews, and has participated in various tours around Spain. As of September 2017, her videos on YouTube reached several million views and her tracks on Spotify, three million.

paragraph: On 24 February 2017, her first album, Seis peniques, was released. Its first single, entitled "Segundas partes entre suicidas", marked her entrance to Spotify.

paragraph: In December 2017 Sofia Ellar announced that all the revenue obtained from her single, titled "Humanidad en Paro", would be destined to different charities supporting Homelessness.

paragraph: In April 2018, a GQ Magazine journalist labelled Ellar as a "posh girl from a distinguished family", and implied certain discredit for her professional accomplishments. Such claims were later considered "judgmental", "resentful" and "unfair" by the writer himself, who publicly apologised to the artist after receiving criticism, eventually becoming an enthusiast of her work.

paragraph: John of Głogów

paragraph: John of Głogów (; ) (c. 1445 – 11 February 1507) was a notable polyhistor at the turn of the Middle Ages and Renaissance—a philosopher, geographer and astronomer at the University of Krakow.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: John was born into the Schelling family in Głogów (in German, Glogau) in the Lower Silesian Duchy of Głogów, which from 1331 had belonged to Bohemia and thus, during his lifetime, to the Holy Roman Empire. He variously styled himself "Johannes Glogoviensis", "Glogerus", "de Glogovia" and "Glogowita"; but while he may have been of German extraction, he never used the name "Schelling."

paragraph: He began his education in a local school at the Collegiate Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. As the scion of a wealthy bourgeois family, he could continue his education at one of the best universities in that part of Europe — the University of Krakow. He embarked on his studies there, at age 16, in 1462 (the first documented date in his life). After three years he obtained his baccalaureate, and after two more — his licentiate. In 1468 he received his "Magister Artium" degree, the equivalent of a Doctor of Philosophy degree. This was but the beginning of a forty-year academic career. He would later also obtain a baccalaureate in theology.

paragraph: John of Głogów was an adherent of the Cologne Thomism, a philosophical school that upheld the legacy of Thomas Aquinas. But while siding in some questions with Thomas, in others he sided with Albertus Magnus.

paragraph: From 1468 John lectured in the Department of Arts at the University of Krakow, in all seven liberal arts. His greatest passions were grammar, Aristotelian logic, physics, physiology, and astronomy. In 1478 and 1489–90 he was dean of the department of arts. He wrote textbooks covering the complete range of philosophical knowledge at the time. His numerous extant works cover grammar, logic, philosophy, geography, astronomy and astrology. He won fame in the latter field with his "prognostications"; in one of these, he predicted the advent of a "black friar" who would bring disarray to Christianity. The friar would later be identified with the Augustinian monk, Martin Luther.

paragraph: John of Głogów wrote a work entitled "Introductio in artem numerandi" (Latin: Introduction to the Art of Using Numbers; 1497). He wrote commentaries to Ptolemy's "Cosmography". He is thought to have been one of the teachers of Nicolaus Copernicus, who enrolled at the University of Krakow in 1491.

paragraph: John authored 60 volumes, mainly astronomical and astrological. His grammar was used in Kraków schools for over a century. He is reputed to have been the first in Poland to note the discovery of America.

paragraph: John's works show little originality, but his erudition was impressive.

paragraph: His first two years of lecturing had given him entree to the Kraków Academy's "Collegium Minus" (the Lesser College), and from 1484 he had been a member of the "Collegium Maius" (the Greater College). Collegiate membership entailed a semi-monastic life and the observation of an uncommonly austere regime. He devoted his income to charitable works.

paragraph: John took a special interest in students from his native Silesia, building and operating a dormitory for them. Between 1433 and 1510, 120 scholars from Głogów matriculated at Kraków—one of the largest groups, alongside those from Wrocław.

paragraph: John of Głogów, an "ornament of Kraków University," died in Kraków on 11 February 1507 and was interred at St. Florian's Church.

paragraph: Appius Claudius Crassus

paragraph: Appius Claudius Crassus Sabinus Regillensis, usually referred to simply as Appius Claudius Crassus or Crassinus, was one of the decemvirs, a committee of ten men chosen in the place of consuls to draw up the tables of Roman law beginning in 451 BC. He was the only member of the college to serve a second term in 450, having appointed himself to the position, together with nine others whose opinions agreed with his or whom he was able to dominate. They continued in office the following year, without bothering to hold elections, but were overthrown in a popular revolt, and the consular government was restored.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Claudius is generally supposed to have been the son of Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis, consul in 471 BC, and grandson of the Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis who first migrated to Rome with his followers in 504 BC, and held the consulship in 495. The Gaius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis who was consul in 460 was his uncle. Claudius had at least two sons: the elder was Appius Claudius Crassus, consular tribune in BC 424; the younger was named Publius.

paragraph: Some suppose the decemvir to be the same as the consul of 471, based on his filiation, "Ap. f. M. n.", in the consular fasti. Furthermore, both men were said to have killed themselves before they could be brought to trial for their misdeeds. However, chronology suggests that they were different people; the consul of 471 is supposed to have been a candidate for the consulship eleven years earlier, in 482, and his father was a wealthy and powerful man more than twenty years before that, which would have made the consul an older man at the time of the decemvirate, and when his son, the consular tribune of 424 BC, was born.

paragraph: Both Livy and Dionysius describe the decemvir and the consul of 471 as different men, and refer to Gaius Claudius as his uncle. Moreover, the consul had already demonstrated his severity and enmity toward the plebeians, while the decemvir pretended friendship toward the common people, even appointing several plebeians as decemvir, until his true nature was revealed. Nonetheless, the identity of the two Claudii cannot be firmly rejected.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Claudius was elected consul for the year 451 BC, together with Titus Genucius Augurinus. Three years earlier, envoys had been sent to Greece to study Greek law. The envoys, Spurius Postumius Albus, Aulus Manlius Vulso, and Servius Sulpicius Camerinus, returned in 452 and reported their findings. Shortly after Claudius and his colleague took office, it was decided to appoint a committee of ten men (decemviri), all of consular rank, who would draw up the tables of Roman law, based on both existing traditions and Greek precedents.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:First decemvirate.

paragraph: The decemvirs were given the same authority as the consuls for their year of office, but as the consuls elected for 451, Claudius and Genucius were appointed decemvirs after resigning the consulship. Their colleagues included the three envoys, as well as Spurius Veturius Crassus Cicurinus, Gaius Julius Iulus, Publius Sestius Capitolinus, Publius Curiatius Fistus Trigeminus, and Titus Romilius Rocus Vaticanus. The decemvirs were seen to cooperate for the good of the state, and drew up the first ten tables of Roman law, winning the general approval of the people. As their task remained unfinished at the end of their year, it was decided to appoint a second college of decemvirs for the following year.

paragraph: Despite the reputation of his family for cruelty and hostility to the plebeians, Claudius gave the appearance of a fair and noble-minded man, earning the people's trust. His colleagues, however, grew suspicious that he would seek to be reappointed for the following year. They therefore tasked him with choosing the decemvirs for 450, and set an example by resigning their office, expecting Claudius to do the same. To their chagrin, he appointed himself, together with nine entirely new colleagues, five of them plebeians, whom he believed to be like-minded to himself, or easily dominated. The new patrician decemvirs were Marcus Cornelius Maluginensis, Marcus Sergius Esquilinus, Lucius Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus, and Quintus Fabius Vibulanus; only Minucius and Fabius had held the consulship. The plebeian members were Quintus Poetilius Libo Visolus, Titus Antonius Merenda, Caeso Duilius Longus, Spurius Oppius Cornicen, and Manius Rabuleius.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Second decemvirate.

paragraph: An ominous sign that the second decemvirate was not as noble-minded as the first came when the insignia of office were changed. In 451, the ten decemvirs had shared a consul's escort of twelve lictors, each receiving the honour in rotation. But the following year, each of the decemvirs was accorded an escort of twelve lictors; and unlike a consul's, these lictors kept the axes attached to their "fasces", symbolizing the decemvirs' power over life and death, even within the "pomerium", the sacred boundary of Rome. Since the beginning of the Republic, all lictors had removed the axes upon entering the city, in deference to the sovereignty of the people; only the lictors of a dictator retained the axes within the city. Now the city was crowded with lictors.

paragraph: The decemvirs did not hesitate to make an example of those who criticized them, subjecting their opponents to beatings and summary execution, and confiscating the property of anyone who offended their dignity. Unlike the first decemvirs, the second college permitted no appeal from their judgment, ignoring the people's right of "provocatio". Young men from aristocratic families joined the decemvirs' retinue, and it came to be whispered that the decemvirs had already agreed among themselves not to hold elections for the following year, but to remain in office indefinitely.

paragraph: The time for elections came and passed, and the decemvirs remained in power. They published two more tables of Roman law, bringing the total to twelve; among the most onerous were those restricting the rights of the plebeians, and in particular one forbidding the intermarriage of patricians and plebeians. When news arrived of incursions by the Sabines and Aequi, the decemvirs attempted to convene the Senate, which assembled only with difficulty, as many of the senators had left the city rather than suffer the decemvirs, or refused to obey their summons, on the grounds that the decemvirs now held no legal office.

paragraph: When the Senate had gathered, two of the senators openly and vocally opposed the decemvirs. Lucius Valerius Potitus and Marcus Horatius Barbatus argued that the decemvirs' term of office had expired, and that they held no legal authority; the decemvirs were worse than kings; for now the Roman people suffered under "ten" Tarquins. Claudius' uncle, Gaius, spoke on his behalf, urging that no action be taken against the decemvirs for the time being. Appius ordered one of the lictors to arrest Valerius, but he appealed to the people, and escaped punishment when Lucius Cornelius Maluginensis, the brother of one of the triumvirs, seized hold of Appius, ostensibly to protect him from the crowd, but in fact to distract him.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:End of the decemvirs.

paragraph: The Senate appointed a military command to the decemvirs, but they were defeated on both fronts, and their armies quickly retreated behind sturdy defenses. Meanwhile, two crimes occurred which proved to be the decemvirs' undoing. First, a soldier named Lucius Siccius, who had proposed the election of new tribunes, and that the soldiers should refuse to serve until the decemvirs were replaced, was murdered on the orders of the decemvirs' commanders, who attempted to cover up the deed by claiming that he had been ambushed and killed by the enemy, despite putting up a brave fight. The truth was discovered when his body was found surrounded only by Romans, with no enemy corpses.

paragraph: The second, and more famous misdeed concerned a young woman named Verginia, the daughter of a centurion, Lucius Verginius. She was betrothed to Lucius Icilius, tribune of the plebs in BC 456. Desiring her for himself, Appius sent his servant, Marcus Claudius, to kidnap Verginia, on the pretext that she was Appius' slave. When her plight became known, Appius consented to release her pending a trial of his claim, but maintained steadfastly, and over the objections of Verginia's father and Icilius, that she was his slave. Rather than have his daughter dishonoured by the decemvir, her father seized a knife from a butcher in the marketplace, and stabbed Verginia to death.

paragraph: Claudius ordered the arrest of Icilius, but the lictor was blocked by Valerius and Horatius; before they could be arrested, the crowd came to their aid, and Claudius fled for his life. The Senate gave the military command to Valerius and Horatius, who were duly elected consuls after the decemvirs were forced to resign. Once the threat from the Sabines and Aequi was dealt with, the decemvirs were brought to trial. Gaius Claudius again pleaded on behalf of his nephew, but Verginius demanded that Appius face justice; according to Dionysius, Appius was said to have hanged himself in prison before he could be tried, but the popular suspicion was that he was put to death at the orders of the plebeian tribunes. Livy reports that Appius killed himself before his trial. The other decemvirs went into exile, except for Spurius Oppius, who was tried, condemned, and put to death on the same day, for the crime of cruelly beating an old soldier.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: From his father, Claudius inherited the surnames "Sabinus" and "Regillensis" (sometimes given as "Inregillensis"). "Crassus", which must have been a personal cognomen, means "thick" or "stout", and could apply equally to a large man or a dullard; although if the latter were intended, it was probably given ironically, for Claudius was by all accounts a very clever schemer. The name is found in both this form and its diminutive, "Crassinus", and was inherited by his descendants, who no longer used "Sabinus" or "Regillensis". In the consular fasti for 451, Claudius' name is given as "Ap. Claudius Ap. f. M. n. Crassin. Regill. Sabinus II." The reason why "Sabinus" and "Regillensis" are inverted in this case is not known.

paragraph: William Reid (musician)

paragraph: William Adam Reid (born 28 October 1958) is a Scottish guitarist, composer and singer, best known as being lead guitarist and co-founder of the Scottish alternative rock band, The Jesus and Mary Chain.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:The Jesus and Mary Chain.

paragraph: William, along with his brother Jim, the lead singer, formed the (at times unstable) core of the band. The early sound of The Jesus and Mary Chain was defined by Reid's extremely distorted and feedback laden hollowbody guitar work, often using the Shin-ei Companion WF-8 fuzz-wah box to get his unique sound, which verged on white noise. Reid effectively ended the band in late 1998, when he walked off stage fifteen minutes into a show at the House of Blues.

paragraph: The Jesus and Mary Chain reformed in early 2007 to play concert dates in Europe and the US.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Solo.

paragraph: After The Jesus and Mary Chain split up in 1999, Reid began performing solo under the name Lazycame. Reid has also been involved in the production of the Sister Vanilla album, "Little Pop Rock", featuring the Reid brothers' younger sister, Linda Reid.

paragraph: Rosalie Gicanda

paragraph: Queen Dowager Rosalie Gicanda (1928 – 20 April 1994) was the wife of Rwandan "Mwami" (King in the Kinyarwanda language) Mutara III of Rwanda. After her husband died in mysterious circumstances in 1959, the Rwandan monarchy lasted only two more years, under the leadership of "Mwami" Kigeli V of Rwanda and then coming to an end in 1961. However, the Queen continued to live in Butare in Butare Province, Rwanda, along with her mother and several ladies-in-waiting.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: On 20 April 1994, as the Rwandan Genocide began in earnest in Butare, a detachment of soldiers commanded by Lt. Pierre Bizimana, acting under the orders of Capt. Idelphonse Nizeyimana, kidnapped the former Queen along with others from her house. They then took the captives behind the National Museum and shot them. Only a younger girl survived to tell the story of the murders. Two days later, the Queen's mother was also murdered. At the request of a priest, Butare mayor Kanyabashi recovered Queen Gicanda’s body and had it buried in the yard next to her house.

paragraph: Section::::Public reaction.

paragraph: The Queen was a living symbol for Tutsis, and her murder shocked many. It effectively signaled the beginning of the mass killing in the Butare area, which saw some of the worst atrocities committed during the fighting.

paragraph: After the genocide, a Rwandan military court found Bizimana and Private 1st Class Aloys Mazimpaka guilty of genocide and the murder of Queen Gicanda and her family. ("Chambre Specialisée du Conseil de Guerre de Butare, case no. LMD 187, LP 0001-PS 97", Judgment pronounced July 27, 1998.) Bizimana was sentenced to death, Mazimpaka to life in prison.

paragraph: On 6 October 2009, former intelligence chief Idelphonse Nizeyimana was arrested in Kampala, Uganda. Nizeyimana was one of the most wanted suspects in the Rwandan genocide. On 19 June 2012, he was convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda of ordering the killing of the former Tutsi queen, as well as other murders, and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

paragraph: Brian Robinson (cyclist)

paragraph: Brian Robinson (born 3 November 1930) is an English former road bicycle racer of the 1950s and early 1960s. He was the first Briton to finish the Tour de France and the first to win a Tour stage. He won the 1961 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré stage race. His success as a professional cyclist in mainland Europe paved the way for other Britons such as Tom Simpson and Barry Hoban.

paragraph: Robinson grew up during the Second World War, which began when he was eight years old.

paragraph: His family lived in Ravensthorpe and moved to Mirfield in 1943.

paragraph: Both his parents worked at a factory producing parts for Halifax bombers, Henry at night and Milly by day.

paragraph: The family had a small area of land, known as an allotment, where they kept rabbits and two pigs. Robinson had a brother, Des, and a sister, Jean.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and amateur career.:Early career.

paragraph: Robinson rode with the Huddersfield Road Club at 13 and joined when he reached the club's minimum age the following year. His elder brother, Des, and his father were already members. His father, however, would not let Robinson start racing until he was 18. His first race was a hilly 25-mile time-trial in March, which he completed in 1h 14m 50s. His ambition was not to ride against the clock, but in massed road races. Opportunities were limited. Views on British road racing were polarised between the British League of Racing Cyclists, which wanted road racing on open roads, and the National Cyclists' Union, which feared police and public reaction and confined racing to closed circuits.

paragraph: Robinson was an NCU member. He worked for the family building business, training before and after work, and frequently raced on roads in Sutton Park, Birmingham, where races had to end by 9.30 am so the public could use the park. In 1948 he went to Windsor to watch the Olympic Games road race in Windsor Great Park "little realising that four years later I would make the next Olympics in Helsinki".

paragraph: He was fifth in the NCU massed-start championship and third in the Road Time Trials Council (RTTC) hill-climb championship in 1950. The following year, he was equal 7th in the Isle of Man International, 10th in the NCU massed-start championship, and second in the RTTC hill-climb championship. In 1952 he was fourth in the NCU title race, won the hill-climb championship, and was fifth in the Isle of Man International.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and amateur career.:International experience.

paragraph: In spring 1952 whilst doing his National Service Robinson rode the Route de France, amateur version of the Tour de France, in a joint NCU/Army team. He rode well and was fifth with three days to go, but poor days in the Pyrenees saw him slip to 40th. "I had never seen mountains like that before," he said.

paragraph: The following August, he represented Great Britain at Helsinki in the Olympic Games road race. Robinson finished 27th, one place behind his brother, to André Noyelle of Belgium. The future Tour de France winner, Jacques Anquetil, was 12th, and Robinson raced against him again in the world cycling championship in Italy in September 1952 where they tied for eighth.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:The new professional.

paragraph: In 1953, Robinson left the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and joined the Ellis Briggs team as an independent, or semi-professional. He rode the Tour of Britain in 1952, wearing the leader's yellow jersey before finishing fourth.

paragraph: The following year, 1954, he improved to second, and second in the mountains competition.

paragraph: The British cycle industry, fighting in a dwindling market, competed for sales by sponsoring riders. Hercules and BSA had supported long-distance record-breakers when there was no other professional racing on the road and now wanted to have road-racing teams.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tour de France.

paragraph: Hercules planned a team that would be the first from Britain to ride the Tour de France, then based on national teams. The riders in its colours grew season by season until in 1955 it had Robinson, Bernard Pusey, Dennis Talbot, Freddy Krebs, Clive Parker, Ken Joy, Arthur Ilsley, Derek Buttle (the founder of the team) and Dave Bedwell. The team raced in France, the Netherlands and Belgium in preparation. Robinson was 8th in Paris–Nice, fourth in La Flèche Wallonne and led the Tour of the Six Provinces to the sixth stage. The eventual Tour team was a mixture of Hercules riders and those from other sponsors.

paragraph: The Tour de France proved tough and only Robinson and Tony Hoar finished, Robinson 29th and Hoar lanterne rouge or last. They were the first Britons to finish the Tour, 18 years after Charles Holland and Bill Burl were the first Britons in the race in 1937.

paragraph: Robinson told Jock Wadley of Sporting Cyclist that it was easy for an English professional to get into the Tour de France in 1955. "Indeed, when it came to selection time there were hardly enough riders available to fill the places." Hercules and other British sponsors dropped their sponsorship at the end of 1955. Robinson, who had married the previous October, set up at the start of 1956 at Les Issambres, the area of the French Riviera that Hercules had used for its training the previous year and which was close to the spring criteriums. He and another professional, Bernard Pusey, suffered because the first races were cancelled because of snow.

paragraph: In 1956, the Tour allowed mixed teams. Robinson joined a squad which included Charly Gaul. He took third on the first stage, and by the end of the Tour was 14th, Gaul 13th. He also rode the Vuelta a España in Hugo Koblet's Swiss-British team, and was second after the fourth stage. He punctured on a climb on the 10th stage when in a break with Italy's Angelo Conterno, the race winner, but managed to recover from 11th to eighth.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Milan–San Remo.

paragraph: In 1957 he scored his first professional win, in the GP de la Ville de Nice, beating Louison Bobet by 50 seconds. Then he finished third in Milan–San Remo to Spain's Miguel Poblet, whose 29th birthday it was. "Cycling" called it "by far the greatest achievement by a British roadman in a single-day race since the halcyon 19th-century days of George Pilkington Mills and the Bordeaux–Paris". There was commercial intrigue behind the result, however.

paragraph: Robinson crashed on wet cobbles early in the 1957 Tour de France, injuring his left wrist. He recovered to finish 15th in the world championship won by Rik Van Steenbergen.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:First Tour stage win.

paragraph: In 1958, Robinson won stage seven of the Tour de France, to Brest. Arigo Padovan crossed the line first, but was relegated to second for his tactics in a hot sprint.

paragraph: Robinson showed his victory was no fluke by winning the 20th stage (from Annecy to Chalon-sur-Saône) of the 1959 Tour by 20 minutes. Next day he paid the price, trailing far behind the field with his Irish teammate, Seamus Elliott, beside him.

paragraph: Both finished outside the time limit and expected to be sent home. But the team's manager, Sauveur Ducazeaux, insisted the judges apply a rule that no rider in the first ten could be eliminated. Robinson had started the day ninth: it was Elliott who was sent home. "The mother hen was cooked; the chick avoided the pot", Fotheringham said.

paragraph: Robinson finished the Tour 19th, having at one time been ninth. That year he helped get his professional Rapha Geminiani team to sign Tom Simpson. Within weeks, he was watching Simpson win two stages of the Tour de l'Ouest.

paragraph: Robinson finished 26th and 53rd in the Tours of 1960 and 1961. In between he won the 1961 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, winning two stages. He was part of the winning team in the team time-trial, then third in the individual time trial at Romans. He won the following day's stage at Villefranche. He kept control of the race as it passed through the mountains and won the race.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement.

paragraph: Robinson retired when he was 33, not having made much money from cycling despite his successes.

paragraph: The magazine "Cycling" placed Robinson ninth best British rider of the 20th century.

paragraph: Robinson, at 74, helped organise a dinner in August 2005 to mark the 50th anniversary of the first British competitors in the Tour de France. The event aimed to attract all British riders who have raced in the Tour since 1955.

paragraph: In 2009, he was inducted into the British Cycling Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Robinson's daughter Louise became an accomplished cyclo-cross rider, taking a silver medal at the 2000 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. Two of Brian's grandchildren are also competitive racing cyclists: Jake Womersley competing in cyclo-cross and road racing and Becky Womersley in road racing.

paragraph: On 16 July 2014, Robinson was knocked off his bike in a collision with a car driver whilst riding through Thornhill Lees, suffering a fractured collar bone, six broken ribs, a punctured lung.

paragraph: Robinson was awarded the British Empire Medal in the 2017 New Year Honours for his services to charity and cycling.

paragraph: Arnau Cadell

paragraph: Arnau Cadell (also spelt Gatell or Catell) was a 12th–13th century Catalan sculptor. He is best known for creating the cloister of the monastery of Sant Cugat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Cadell was a Catalan architect, sculptor and master builder. He was in charge of a workshop of travelling artisans specialized in ornamentation depicting biblical themes. It is believed that Cadell went to Sant Cugat with his workshop in order to work on the monastery there. In addition to the capitals and cloisters he designed at the monastery of Sant Cugat, which was begun in 1190, he is also attributed with similar work in the Cathedral of Girona. He has also been linked to the design of the portals of the church of St. Peter in Santpedor and at the Santa Maria de Manresa basilica.

paragraph: The designs created by Cadell on the capitals represent vegetation, Corinthian figures, scenes from the lives of monks and historic themes from the Bible. The Sant Cugat cloister for which he is most widely recognized, contains 144 Corinthian capitals, completed over several years. The capitals towards the east, west and north are estimated to have been completed towards the end of the 12th century and the ones towards the south in the early 13th century. On one of the pillars there is a self-portrait of Cadell carving out a Corinthian capital.

paragraph: Similarities between Cadell's sculptors and others such as the capitals at the Sant Pere de Galligants abbey, the cloisters at the Cathedral of Girona and at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse. The similarities to the museum in Toulouse reflect the influence of the Toulouse school on his work. However, it is believed that he trained in Girona itself, where he died.

paragraph: Cadell is thought to have made the cloisters at the Cathedral of Girona between 1180 and 1190, shortly before moving to Sant Cugat to work on the monastery. Though there are no records attesting to this, comparisons of the two sculptures demonstrate strong likeness between the techniques and figures used: "Both include biblical themes and scenes of everyday life".

paragraph: Section::::Signature.

paragraph: Cadell is the first Catalan artist who was known by both first and last name. A testament by him, dated 13 October 1221 and signed in Girona, has been preserved, in which he donates his assets to the monastery of Sant Cugat. A copy of this document was found in Pia Almoina del Pa in Girona, in Girona, lodged inside a drawer. The contents of the will indicates that Arnau Cadell owned real estate in Sant Cugat and had loans in Girona. The will is now housed in the Diocesis of Girona's archives.

paragraph: Among the cloisters at the Sant Cugat monastery there is a signature in Latin, located on a pillar at the northeast of the cloister, that accompanies Cadell's self-portrait,:

paragraph: hec est arnalli sculptoris forma catelli qui claustrum tale construxit perpetuale

paragraph: Two documents connected with the monastery, from 1206 and 1207, also bear his signature.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: It appears that Cadell died childless, as attested by his will leaving assets to a young nephew and a significant charitable donation bequeathed to the monastery of Sant Cugat, that still owed him a considerable amount for the work done on the cloisters. The will provided a share among the monks and donations to various altars in the church. The monastery, therefore paid cheaply for the sculptures. There is no reference in the will of Cadell's artistic activities.

paragraph: Richard of Hauteville

paragraph: Richard of Hauteville (c. 1045–1110) was a noble knight of Hauteville family, the conquerors of South Italy during the 11th century.

paragraph: Richard was born around 1045 to Drogo of Hauteville, a Norman adventurer and count, and Altrude of Salerno, a Lombard princess. He was a nephew of Robert Guiscard and Roger I of Sicily. On his father's death in 1051, he was too young to succeed, and his uncle Humphrey was elected count instead. On Humphrey's death, his cousins, Abelard and Herman were overlooked by their uncle Robert. While Abelard rebelled, claiming the inheritance, Richard allied with Robert and Roger. Richard was present with Guiscard at the fall of Bari in April 1071 and fought strongly against his rebel cousins and their allies between 1078 and 1080, when Abelard died. For his support, Richard was confirmed as count of Castellaneta, Oria, and Mottola by his uncle.

paragraph: In 1101, Richard was appointed seneschal of Apulia and Calabria by the Guiscard's son and successor, his cousin, Roger Borsa.

paragraph: William de Brailes

paragraph: William de Brailes (active c. 1230 – c. 1260) was an English Early Gothic manuscript illuminator, presumably born in Brailes, Warwickshire. He signed two manuscripts, and apparently worked in Oxford, where he is documented from 1238 to 1252, owning property in Catte Street near the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, roughly on the site now occupied by the chapel of All Souls College, where various members of the book-trade lived. He was married, to Celena, but evidently also held minor orders, as at least three self-portraits show him with a clerical tonsure. This was not unusual: by this date, and with the exception of the St. Albans monk Matthew Paris, the only other English illuminator of the period about whom we have significant personal information, most English illumination seems to have been done in commercial workshops run by laymen.

paragraph: Section::::Manuscripts.

paragraph: William de Brailes illuminated Bibles, psalters, a Book of Hours and secular texts, and may also have been a scribe. He is associated with a distinctive style, but other artists also worked in this manner, and distinguishing his hand from theirs is difficult. The style is characterised by energetic gesticulating figures, though with a limited range of facial expression, and a concern for narrative. Ornamental bars stretch out from historiated initials to the top or sides of the text, a feature in transition from the Romanesque style to the mature Gothic style, where decorative borders run round the whole page. Larger miniatures often contain different scenes in separate roundels. Most of his manuscripts have a page size similar to that of a standard modern paperback, and reflect the trend towards the personal ownership of books by well off but not extravagant members of both clergy and laity.

paragraph: The principal works attributed to Brailes and his workshop include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- The "De Brailes Hours" in the British Library (MS Add. 49999) is the earliest surviving separate English book of hours (it has incorrectly been claimed to be the earliest anywhere, and the prototype of the form), the type of book that was to become the leading vehicle for illumination in the late Middle Ages. It was probably created for an unknown laywoman whose generic "portrait" is shown four times. It has been suggested she was from North Hinksey near Oxford, and possibly called Suzanna. Signed twice by "W. de Brail", adding once "q[ui]. me depeint" ("who painted me"). Despite its small size of 150 x 123 mm, it contains a large number of historiated initials and full page miniatures introducing sections.

paragraph: BULLET::::- A series of small leaves (135 x 98 mm) illuminated on one or both sides with full-page miniatures, probably from a psalter (perhaps a psalter now in Stockholm which has a major historiated initial by de Brailes), with twenty four now in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, and seven in the Wildenstein Collection, Musée Marmottan Paris.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The New College Psalter", at 350 x 250 mm, the "largest and most elaborate extant work from the de Brailes workshop", and relatively late in date, this work belongs to the category of luxury psalters, with an illuminated calendar and abundant decoration throughout, although there is no cycle of full-page miniatures.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Miniatures from a Psalter, consisting of six leaves in the Fitzwilliam Museum and one in the Morgan Library extant, from a series of full-page illuminations on the Old and New Testaments (215 x 143 mm).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bible with some Masses (British Library, Harley MS. 2813) – recently attributed, for a Franciscan patron, 183 x 133 mm, with two remaining historiated initials.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bible with some Masses, in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. A small (167 x 116 mm) Bible, probably made for a Dominican patron.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bible in Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge – the workshop's "most elaborate surviving example of Bible illustration", with 79 illuminated, mostly historiated, initials from which the decoration typically extends down the page. 245 x 175 mm.

paragraph: BULLET::::- A Bible whose surviving fragments are dispersed among several collections: the chief surviving portion (155 folios) is Lewis Ms E 29 in the Free Library of Philadelphia, 182 x 113 mm, with many historiated initials. Fourteen leaves from this manuscript are now in the Lilly Library at Indiana University as Ricketts C:1 (1 leaf), Ricketts III:25 (1 leaf), and Ricketts III: 53 (12 leaves). Other leaves from this same manuscript are dispersed in private collections in England.
