paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Osborne graduated from the University of Bristol in 1979, with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy and economics, went on to obtain a Master of Arts in Philosophy at the University of Sussex in 1980, and stayed on to earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1988 Osborne, along with CRMEP colleague Howard Caygill, was a student of Gillian Rose.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Osborne returned to the University of Bristol in 1988 to become a lecturer in the philosophy department. Then, in 1989, he lectured in the undergraduate philosophy department at Middlesex University, remaining there until he became, first, a senior lecturer (in 1992), then a reader (academic rank) in the graduate programme, before becoming a professor in 1997.

paragraph: Osborne has subsequently served as a supervisor for PhD candidates, including Mark Neocleous (now Professor of the Critique of Political Economy Politics and History, Brunel University London), Bob Cannon (now Senior Lecturer in Sociology and the BA Sociology Programme Leader, University of East London), Stewart Martin (now Reader in Philosophy and Fine Art, Middlesex University), Andrew McGettigan (now a freelance writer/researcher on philosophy, the arts and education), Alastair Morgan (now Lecturer in Mental Health and Social Care, University of Nottingham), Nina Power (now Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Roehampton), Katie Lloyd Thomas (now Lecturer in Architecture, Newcastle University).

paragraph: Osborne’s books include: "Anywhere or Not at All: Philosophy of Contemporary Art" (2013); "The Politics of Time: Modernity and Avant-Garde" (1995/2010); "Marx" (2005); "Conceptual Art" (2002); and "Philosophy in Cultural Theory" (2000). He also edited the three-volume "Walter Benjamin: Critical Evaluations in Cultural Theory" (2005). Osborne’s writing on contemporary art includes contributions to the journals Afterall, Art History, October, and Oxford Art Journal Catalogues accompanying exhibitions including: "Matias Faldbakken: The Shock of Abstraction", the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo and Ikon, Birmingham, 2009; "The Quick and the Dead", the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2009; and "Sol Lewitt’s Sentences on Conceptual Art", The Office of Contemporary Art Oslo, Norway, 2009.

paragraph: Osborne teaches and publishes on Modern European Philosophy and the philosophy of modern and contemporary art — with particular reference to Conceptual Art. He has written catalogue essays for the Tate Modern art gallery in London, the Biennale art festival of Sydney, Australia, the Walker Art Center, and the Norwegian National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. He has acted as a consultant to the Education Programme at the Tate Britain art gallery in London and In Defence of Philosophy] on the Tate Channel) and is consultant for the Office of Contemporary Art (OCA) in Norway with regard to the representation of Norway at the 2011 Venice Biennale.

paragraph: Osborne also served as editorial consultant for a series of publication for OCA, and currently serves as a member of the advisory board for Pavilion (Journal for Politics and Culture). He has played a major role in the bimonthly British journal "Radical Philosophy" for nearly thirty years and plays an active role in current debates about the future of universities in the United Kingdom. Hi is the Director of the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Transition from Middlesex to Kingston.

paragraph: In April 2010, Middlesex University decided to close down Philosophy, its highest research-rated subject. Middlesex students and staff, and thousands of their supporters in the UK and around the world, campaigned to save it. The website set up as part of the effort to do so is still running today and is continually updated vis-à-vis related campaigns and issues.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Background and project.

paragraph: Broadly speaking, Osborne's project has followed the conception and function of philosophy as ‘its own time comprehended in thought’ (Hegel). (At a talk at the ICA that was held in response to the (then) plans to close the philosophy department when Osborne and the CRMEP was based at Middlesex, he spoke of the fact that as a practise, philosophy is not quantifiable; that is, it is not something that is easily measurable by time.)

paragraph: Osborne completed his doctoral thesis at the University of Sussex in England in 1988. Entitled "The carnival of philosophy: philosophy, politics and science in Hegel and Marx", it no doubt formed some of the material for the more recently published "How to Read Marx" (Granta magazine, 2005), the fifth chapter of which recalls its title. A central influence on Osborne's thought has been the work of German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno, who figures in his early essays concerning the problem of modernity and the crisis in the visual arts

paragraph: Osborne's first book, "The Politics of Time: Modernity and Avant-Gard"e (Verso Books, 1995, reprinted 2011) was reflective of his general understanding of the modern European tradition of philosophy as being "first and foremost a philosophy of time", stemming from the work of Immanuel Kant, as founder of modern philosophy. Osborne discussed the politics of time in relation to contemporary art in a discussion organised by the Frieze Art Foundation and held in conjunction with the London Frieze Art Fair in 2008.

paragraph: In a recent exchange with his colleague Eric Alliez at the Stanley Picker Gallery on 27 April 2007, Osborne explained that at "the end of the Eighties, my project became to "mediate "Aesthetic Theory" with the history of contemporary art since the 1960s" (understanding Adorno's project as "the project of mediating the transdisciplinary post-Kantianism of Benjamin's thought with the history of modernism") specifically, through the reinvention of 'the dialectic of construction and expression' ("Philosophy and Contemporary Art After Adorno and Deleuze: An Exchange")). The late work of Adorno anticipates the breakdown of the difference between the arts that Osborne is interested in coming to terms with (see Art Theory and Aesthetics, below).

paragraph: The follow-up to "The Politics of Time", "Philosophy in Cultural Theory", was concerned with what is currently (2011) being pursued further by the CRMEP; namely, the transdisciplinary status of philosophy, as opposed to its traditional self-understanding as a self-contained discipline.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Art theory and aesthetics.

paragraph: "Conceptual Art" (Phaidon Press, 2002), constituted an authoritative survey of the art of the late Sixties and early Seventies (and beyond). Conceptual art challenged the aesthetic definition of the work of art, and attempted but failed to be absolutely anti-aesthetic. Nonetheless, it made the conceptual aspects of all art explicit to subsequent generations of artists.

paragraph: For Osborne, a crucial juncture in the transformation of the ontology of the work of art (what art most fundamentally is) is marked by the work of American artist Robert Smithson. According to this view, the traditional practise of art according to mediums (painting, sculpture, architecture) is understood to have been historically destroyed ontologically by a transcategorial practise and field — inaugurated by work like Smithson's. This is intimated in the title for a lecture he gave on Smithson at the Centre for Contemporary Art in 2008: 'An interminable avalanche of categories': conceptual issues in the work of Robert Smithson (or, once more, against 'sculpture'), as part of a series of lectures given by significant art historians under the title "Cornerstones".

paragraph: Osborne later made the speculative claim elsewhere that "contemporary art is post-conceptual art" in a public lecture delivered at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti (FAR), Villa Sucota, in Como, Italy, 9 July 2010. It is a claim made at the level of the ontology of the work of art (rather than say at the descriptive level of style or movement). Around the same time, he gave a lecture in conjunction with "Pavilion" on the concept of the contemporary and the work of The Atlas Group entitled "The Fiction of the Contemporary: Speculative Collectivity and the Global Transnational". He subsequently published an essay in issue 15 of the "Pavilion Journal for Politics and Culture", entitled: "Imaginary Radicalisms: Notes on the Libertarianism of Contemporary Art".

paragraph: In 2013, Osborne published "Anywhere or Not at All: Philosophy of Contemporary Art," which develops the speculative claim "contemporary art is post-conceptual art".

paragraph: Adile Sultan

paragraph: Adile Sultan (23 May 1826 – 12 February 1899) was an Ottoman princess, a female Diwan poet, and a philanthropist. She was the daughter of Sultan Mahmud II and sister of the Sultans Abdülmecid I and Abdülaziz.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was born as daughter of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II (1785–1839) and his wife Zernigar Kadın in 1826 in Constantinople (modern Istanbul). Adile Sultan lost her mother at a very young age, and was raised by Nevfidan Kadın, the chief lady in the palace. She received a high standard of education in the palace. Just as her father, she was much interested in the arts.

paragraph: Adile Sultan married in 1845 the commander of the fleet Kapudan Pasha Mehmet Ali Pasha, who afterwards served a short while as Grand Vizier to her brother Sultan Abdülmecid I (1823–1861). The couple faced the death of their three children. Mehmet Ali Pasha also died in 1868 and their daughter Hayriye Hanim Sultan died in 1869 young as well and left from her first husband a son. In deep mourning, Adile Sultan entered the order of Naqshbandi and devoted herself to charitable activities.

paragraph: Adile Sultan had a summerhouse in Validebağ and a famed palace in Kandilli, the Adile Sultan Palace, both on the Asian part of Istanbul. She left her palace in Kandilli following the death of her husband and moved to the Coastal Palace in Fındıklı. She donated the Adile Sultan Palace to the state on the condition that it be converted into the first secondary high school for girls in the Ottoman Empire. Her wish was fulfilled only in 1916 (due to wars), when the Young Turk activist, statesman, and educator Ahmed Rıza opened the "Adile Sultan İnas Mekteb-i Sultanisi" ("Adile Sultan Imperial Girls School"), today known as Kandilli Anatolian High School for Girls, although it became not the first, but the second secondary school for girls in the empire. The high school moved to a new building in 1969, and the Adile Sultan Palace burned down in 1986 due to an electrical short-circuit. It was reopened in 2006 as the Sakıp Sabancı Kandilli Education and Culture Center.

paragraph: Adile Sultan died in 1899 at the Coastal Palace. She was interned in the mausoleum of her husband in Eyüp, Istanbul.

paragraph: Even though she was not much more successful than Leyla Hanım and Fıtnat Hanım, two renowned female poets of her era, Adile Sultan's literary works shed light on the incidents in the palace and the administration of the Ottoman Empire. Adile Sultan also composed a poem about the alleged murder of her younger brother Sultan Abdülaziz (1830–1876), which was officially known a suicide. She also helped the Diwan of Suleiman the Magnificent (1494–1566) to be printed. Her poetry, "Adile Sultan's Divan", was published in 1996.

paragraph: Anna Magdalena Bach

paragraph: Anna Magdalena Bach (née Wilcke or Wilcken) (22 September 1701 – 22 February 1760) was a singer and the second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Anna Magdalena Wilcke was born at Zeitz, in the Electorate of Saxony.

paragraph: While little is known about her early musical education, the family was musical. Her father, Johann Caspar Wilcke (c.1660–1733), was a trumpet player, who had a career at the courts of Zeitz and Weißenfels. Her mother, Margaretha Elisabeth Liebe, was the daughter of an organist.

paragraph: By 1721 Anna Magdalena was employed as a singer (soprano) at the princely court of Anhalt-Cöthen. Johann Sebastian Bach had been working there as "Capellmeister", or director of music, since December 1717. It is possible that he first heard her sing at the ducal court in Weißenfels, where he is known to have performed as early as 1713, when his Hunting Cantata was premiered there.

paragraph: Bach married Anna on December 3, 1721, 17 months after the death of his first wife, Maria Barbara Bach. Later that month, the couple's employer, Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen, married Frederica Henriette of Anhalt-Bernburg. Bach believed her lack of interest in music caused the musical life at the court to decline, although there is evidence that other factors were involved. There were budgetary constraints caused by Prussian military demands of which Bach may have had limited knowledge because it's unlikely that the prince would have discussed his financial problems with Bach.

paragraph: In 1723, the Bachs moved to Leipzig when Johann Sebastian accepted the position of Cantor at the .

paragraph: Anna Magdalena continued to sing professionally after her marriage. For example, she returned to Köthen in 1729 to sing at Prince Leopold's funeral. The Bachs' shared interest in music contributed to their happy marriage. She regularly worked as a copyist, transcribing her husband's music, which she sold as a means to contribute to the family income. Bach wrote a number of compositions dedicated to her, most notably the two "Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach." During the Bach family's time in Leipzig, Anna Magdalena organized regular musical evenings featuring the whole family playing and singing together with visiting friends. The Bach house became a musical centre in Leipzig.

paragraph: Apart from music, her interests included gardening.

paragraph: Together they raised the children from his first marriage and had 13 of their own from 1723 to 1742, seven of whom died at a young age:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Johanna Carolina (1737–1781)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Regina Susanna (1742–1809)

paragraph: After Bach's death in 1750, his sons came into conflict and moved on in separate directions, going to live with other family members. While Bach did everything to educate his sons, his daughters never went to school. Anna Magdalena was left alone, with no financial support from family members, to care for herself and her two youngest daughters, plus her stepdaughter from Bach's first marriage. Anna Magdalena became increasingly dependent upon charity and handouts from the city council, ultimately relying on public begging to survive. Probably her only child or stepchild who provided any support to her was her stepson Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, whose letters show he provided regular financial assistance. She died on the street on February 27, 1760, with no money at all, and was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave at Leipzig's (St. John's Church). The church was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II.

paragraph: Section::::A possible composer?

paragraph: Recently, it has been suggested that Anna Magdalena Bach composed several musical pieces bearing her husband's name: Professor Martin Jarvis of the School of Music at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia, claims that she composed the famed six cello suites (BWV 1007–1012) and was involved with the composition of the aria from the "Goldberg Variations" (BWV 988) and the opening prelude of "The Well-Tempered Clavier". These ideas were also made into a TV documentary "Written by Mrs Bach".

paragraph: These claims have been dismissed by a virtually unanimous community of Bach scholars and performers. Christoph Wolff said:

paragraph: When I served as director of the Leipzig Bach Archive from 2001 to 2013, I and my colleagues there extensively refuted the basic premises of the thesis, on grounds of documents, manuscript sources, and musical grounds. There is not a shred of evidence, but Jarvis doesn’t give up despite the fact that several years ago, at a Bach conference in Oxford, a room full of serious Bach scholars gave him an embarrassing showdown.

paragraph: Writing in "The Guardian", cellist Steven Isserlis said, "I'm afraid that his theory is pure rubbish," and continued, "How can anybody take this shoddy material seriously?"

paragraph: Bach scholar Ruth Tatlow has written a refutation at length, centered on the TV documentary, in the journal "Understanding Bach".

paragraph: Section::::Biographical sources.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Geiringer, Karl (1958) "Die Musikerfamilie Bach: Leben und Wirken in drei Jahrhunderten. Unter Mitarbeit von Irene Geiringer." München. Beck.

paragraph: A fictitious autobiography "The Little Chronicle of Magdalena Bach" was written in 1925 by the English author Esther Meynell. This sentimental narration of the family life of Bach is not based on any sources and is probably far from the personality of Anna Magdalena Bach.

paragraph: A compilation of material about Anna Magdalena Bach was published by Maria Hübner in 2005, "Anna Magdalena Bach. Ein Leben in Dokumenten und Bildern", completed by a biographical Essay of Hans-Joachim Schulze.

paragraph: Richard Mór de Burgh, 1st Baron of Connaught

paragraph: Richard Mór de Burgh, 1st Lord of Connacht (c. 1194 – 1242, or 1243,

paragraph: ), was a Hiberno-Norman aristocrat and Justiciar of Ireland.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: De Burgh was the eldest son of William de Burgh and his wife who was a daughter of Domnall Mór Ua Briain, King of Thomond. De Burgh's principal estate was in the barony of Loughrea where he built a castle in 1236 and a town was founded. He also founded Galway town and Ballinasloe. The islands on Lough Mask and Lough Orben were also part of his demesne.

paragraph: From the death of his father in 1206 to 1214, Richard was a ward of the crown of England until he received his inheritance. In 1215 he briefly served in the household of his uncle Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. In 1223 and again in 1225 he was appointed seneschal of Munster and keeper of Limerick castle.

paragraph: Section::::Connacht.

paragraph: In 1224, Richard claimed Connacht, which had been granted to his father but never, in fact, conquered by him. He asserted that the grant to Cathal Crobdearg Ua Conchobair, the Gaelic king, after his father's death had been on condition of faithful service, and that his son Aedh mac Cathal Crobdearg Ua Conchobair, who succeeded Cathal that year, had forfeited it. He had the favour of the justiciar of England, Hubert de Burgh, and was awarded Connacht in May 1227. Having been given custody of the counties of Cork and Waterford and all the crown lands of Decies and Desmond, he was appointed Justiciar of Ireland from 1228 to 1232.

paragraph: When in 1232 Hubert de Burgh fell from grace, Richard was able to distance himself and avoid being campaigned against by the King of England, Henry III. It was only in 1235 when he summoned the whole feudal host of the English lords and magnates to aid him that he expelled Felim mac Cathal Crobderg Ua Conchobair, the Gaelic king, from Connacht. He and his lieutenants received great shares of land, while Felim was obliged to do homage and was allowed only to keep five cantreds Roscommon from the Crown. Richard de Burgh held the remaining 25 cantreds of Connacht in chief of the crown of England. De Burgh took the title of "Lord of Connacht".

paragraph: Section::::Wife and children.

paragraph: Before 1225 he married Egidia de Lacy, daughter of Walter de Lacy, and Margaret de Braose. With this alliance he acquired the cantred of Eóghanacht Caisil with the castle of Ardmayle in Tipperary.

paragraph: Richard de Burgh had three sons and may have had four daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Walter de Burgh, 1st Earl of Ulster, Lord of Connaught, died 1271.

paragraph: Smendes

paragraph: Hedjkheperre Setepenre Smendes was the founder of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt and succeeded to the throne after burying Ramesses XI in Lower Egypt – territory which he controlled. His Egyptian nomen or birth name was actually Nesbanebdjed meaning "He of the Ram, Lord of Mendes", but it was translated into Greek as Smendes by later classical writers such as Josephus and Sextus Africanus. While Smendes' precise origins remain a mystery, he is thought to have been a powerful governor in Lower Egypt during the Renaissance era of Ramesses XI and his base of power was Tanis.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Smendes may have been a son of a lady named Hrere. Hrere was a Chief of the Harem of Amun-Re and likely the wife of a high priest of Amun. If Hrere was Smendes' mother, then he was a brother of Nodjmet and through her brother-in-law of the High Priests Herihor and Piankh.

paragraph: Smendes was married to Tentamun B, likely a daughter of Ramesses IX. They may have been the parents of his successor Amenemnisu.

paragraph: Section::::Report of Wenamun.

paragraph: Smendes features prominently in the Report of Wenamun. This story is set in an anonymous "Year 5", generally taken to be year 5 of the so-called Renaissance of Pharaoh Ramesses XI, the tenth and last ruler of the Twentieth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (1190–1077 BC). However, since Karl Jansen-Winkeln has proposed to reverse the order of the High Priests of Amun Herihor and Piankh, this ascription has become disputed. With the pontificate of Herihor falling later than that of Piankh, who is attested in year 7 of the Renaissance, the date in the heading of Wenamun should rather refer to the successor of Ramesses XI. Following Jansen-Winkeln, Arno Egberts (1991) therefore argues that the story is set in the fifth regnal year of Smendes. Recently, Ad Thijs has alternatively ascribed the text to year 5 of king Khakheperre Pinuzem, who is the successor of Ramesses XI in his chronology, which is also based on the reversal of High Priests put forward by Jansen-Winkeln.

paragraph: As the story begins, the principal character, Wenamun, a priest of Amun at Karnak, is sent by the High Priest of Amun Herihor to the Phoenician city of Byblos to acquire lumber (probably cedar wood) to build a new ship to transport the cult image of Amun.

paragraph: Wenamun first visits Smendes at Tanis and personally presented his letters of accreditation to Smendes in order to receive the latter's permission to travel north to modern Lebanon. Smendes responds by dispatching a ship for Wenamun's travels to Syria and the Levant. Smendes appears as a person of the highest importance in Tanis.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Smendes' nominal authority over Upper Egypt is attested by a single inscribed stela found in a quarry at Ed-Dibabiya, opposite Gebelein on the right bank of the Nile, as well as by a separate graffito inscription on an enclosure Wall of the Temple of Monthu at Karnak, the Temple that was originally constructed during the reign of Thutmose III.

paragraph: The quarry stela describes how Smendes "while residing in Memphis, heard of danger to the temple of Luxor from flooding, gave orders for repairs (hence the quarry works), and received news of the success of the mission."

paragraph: Smendes is assigned a reign of 26 Years by Manetho in his Epitome and was the husband of Tentamun. This figure is supported by the Year 25 date on the "Banishment Stela" which recounts that the High Priest Menkheperre suppressed a local revolt in Thebes in Year 25 of a king who can only be Smendes because there is no evidence that the High Priests counted their own regnal years even when they assumed royal titles like Pinedjem I did. Menkheperre then exiled the leaders of the rebellion to the Western Desert Oases. These individuals were pardoned several years later during the reign of Smendes' successor, Amenemnisu.

paragraph: Smendes ruled over a divided Egypt and only effectively controlled Lower Egypt during his reign while Middle and Upper Egypt was effectively under the suzerainty of the High Priests of Amun such as Pinedjem I, Masaharta, and Menkheperre. His prenomen or throne name "Hedjkheperre Setepenre/Setepenamun"—which means 'Bright is the Manifestation of Rê, Chosen of Rê/Amun'—became very popular in the following 22nd Dynasty and 23rd Dynasty. In all, five kings: Shoshenq I, Shoshenq IV, Takelot I, Takelot II and Harsiese A adopted it for their own use. On the death of Smendes in 1052 BC, he was succeeded by Neferkare Amenemnisu, who may have been this king's son.

paragraph: Martin Coles Harman (born 1885 in Steyning, Sussex, died 1954) was an English businessman who bought the island of Lundy in 1925 and proclaimed himself King of Lundy. He later issued an independent Lundy currency of Half Puffin & 1 Puffin coins, which were nominally equivalent to the British Halfpenny & Penny, resulting in his prosecution by the United Kingdom authorities for issuing illegal coinage under the Coinage Act of 1870. The House of Lords found him guilty in 1931, and he was fined £5 with fifteen guineas expenses. The coins were withdrawn and became collectors' items. In 1928, Harman established the Lundy pony.

paragraph: Harman's son, John Pennington Harman was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross in Kohima, India in 1944. There is a memorial to him at the "VC Quarry" on the east side of Lundy.

paragraph: Antiochus VIII Grypus

paragraph: Antiochus VIII Epiphanes/Callinicus/Philometor, nicknamed Grypus (, "hook-nose"), was the ruler of the Syrian Seleucid Empire from 125 to 96 BC. He was the younger son of Demetrius II and Cleopatra Thea. He may have spent his early life in Athens and returned to Syria after the deaths of his father and brother Seleucus V. At first he was joint ruler with his mother. Fearing her influence, Antiochus VIII had Cleopatra Thea poisoned in 121 BC.

paragraph: Political instability affected most of Antiochus VIII's reign. From 116 BC he fought a civil war against his half-brother Antiochus IX. Antiochus VIII's wife, the Ptolemaic Egyptian princess Tryphaena, had her sister and the wife of Antiochus IX, the former Cleopatra IV of Egypt, murdered in 112 BC; Antiochus IX killed Tryphaena in revenge. In 102 BC, Antiochus VIII's aunt Cleopatra III of Egypt, the mother of the two rival queens, gave him the hand of her daughter Cleopatra Selene in marriage. Antiochus VIII was assassinated in 96 BC.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Family background and childhood.

paragraph: In 193 BC Cleopatra I, a Seleucid princess, married King Ptolemy V of Egypt. Their granddaughter Cleopatra Thea of the Ptolemaic dynasty married the Syrian claimant Alexander Balas half a century later in 150 BC. She later married Demetrius II of Syria, and they had two sons. Demetrius II was captured and held as a prisoner by the Parthian Empire. Antiochus VIII's uncle Antiochus VII took the throne and married Cleopatra Thea, but died in 129 BC while fighting against the Parthians; Demetrius II then returned to the throne, and died in 125 BC while waging a war for the Syrian throne against the claimant Alexander II. Demetrius II's eldest son Seleucus V became king after his death, but was soon killed by Cleopatra Thea. She made Antiochus VIII king, ruling as his co-regent.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Rise to power.

paragraph: Shortly after taking the throne, Antiochus VIII married his cousin, the Ptolemaic princess Tryphaena. Silver and bronze coins issued during the co-regency (125–121BC) of Antiochus VIII and Cleopatra Thea show the head of the queen appearing at front with her son's head behind hers. Her name is also the first listed on the coinage. These facts signify that she was the senior co-ruler. He defeated usurper Alexander II Zabinas in 123 BC. In 121 BC, Antiochus decided to rid himself of his influential mother. According to Justin, his mother tried to poison him with wine, but the suspicious king forced her to drink the cup herself. However, it was Grypus himself who would became famous for his interest in toxicology. Some poems about poisonous herbs believed to have been written by him are quoted by the famous physician Galen.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Reign as King of Syria.

paragraph: Despite political shortcomings, Grypus was a popular king. His ugly, lazy appearance on coins (common among the last Seleucids), together with stories of his lavish banquets, made posterity believe his dynasty was degenerate and decadent. This was, however, a conscious image invoking the Hellenistic concept of "Tryphe" - meaning good life, which the last Seleucids strove to be associated with, as opposed to the exhausting civil wars and feuds which troubled their reigns in reality.

paragraph: A story of his luxurious parties claims he sent food home with guests who attended banquets, complete with a camel as beast of burden, as well as an attendant to carry the guest himself. This should certainly have caused some strain on the already depleted treasury.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Civil War.

paragraph: In 116 BC his half-brother and cousin Antiochus IX Cyzicenus returned from exile and a civil war began. Cyzicenus' wife, also named Cleopatra, was a sister of Tryphaena and was eventually killed in a dramatic fashion in the temple of Daphne outside Antioch, on the order of Tryphaena. Cyzicenus eventually killed Tryphaena as revenge. The two brothers then divided Syria between them until Grypus was killed by his minister Heracleon in 96 BC.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He married the Ptolemaic princess Tryphaena ca. 125, and had six children by her:

paragraph: Antiochus IX Cyzicenus

paragraph: Antiochus IX Eusebes Cyzicenus (, "Antiochus the Pious, the Cyzicene") was a ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid kingdom. He was the son of Antiochus VII Sidetes and Cleopatra Thea. He left the kingdom in 129 BC and went to the city of Cyzicus, but he returned in 116 BC to challenge his half-brother Antiochus VIII for power.

paragraph: The siblings fought a twenty-year civil war. In 112 BC Antiochus IX's wife Cleopatra IV was killed by her sister Tryphaena, the wife of Antiochus VIII. Tryphaena herself died shortly afterwards. Antiochus VIII was assassinated in 96 BC; he was succeeded by his sons Seleucus VI and Demetrius III. Antiochus IX then took the capital Antioch and married his deceased wife's sister Cleopatra Selene, who was herself the widow of Antiochus VIII. Seleucus VI continued the war against his uncle, who was killed in battle in 95 BC.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The son of Antiochus VII Sidetes and Cleopatra Thea, upon the death of his father in Parthia and his uncle Demetrius II Nicator's return to power (129 BC), his mother sent him to Cyzicus on the Bosporus, thus giving him his nickname.

paragraph: After the death of his mother c. 118 BC, Antiochus IX Cyzicenus challenged his half-brother, Antiochus VIII Grypus, for power over Syria.

paragraph: He returned to Syria in 116 BC to claim the Seleucid throne from his half-brother/cousin Antiochus VIII Grypus, with whom he eventually divided Syria, that same year.

paragraph: Antiochus IX Cyzicenus was first married to Cleopatra IV, who was then killed in 112 BC by her sister and rival Tryphaena, wife of King Grypus. After the death of Grypus and Antiochus' capture of the capital, Antiochus married Cleopatra Selene of Syria, the sister of his former wife, Cleopatra IV.

paragraph: He was killed in battle by the son of Grypus, Seleucus VI Epiphanes, in 96 BC.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Antiochus IX probably created the Iturean tetrarchy as an ally against Antiochus VIII. Beginning his reign in 95 BC, Antiochus X Eusebes' first achievement was to defeat his double half-cousin/second cousin Seleucus VI Epiphanes, thus avenging the recent death of his father, Antiochus IX Cyzicenus. The epithets he took tell much of his story: Eusebes (being a title of his father) and also Philopator (father-loving) both honoured his father. After that, he ruled Antioch and its surroundings, fighting endlessly against the four brothers of Seleucus VI, the Nabataeans and the Parthian Empire.

paragraph: Ziffren Brittenham, Branca is one of a handful of attorneys to have been included in all editions of the prestigious "Best Lawyers in America." Marquis Who's Who named Branca the World's #1 Music Attorney in 2019.

paragraph: Branca is currently the chairman of The Michael Jackson Company, and serves as Co-Executor of the Michael Jackson Estate.

paragraph: "Billboard" named Branca its 2016 "Lawyer of the Year"

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: His mother, Barbara May Theresa Werle (October 6, 1928 - January 1, 2013) was an entertainer and Harvest Moon Ball winner who danced on "The Ed Sullivan Show". She moved to Los Angeles when Branca was four to pursue her show business career. Branca lived with his father, also named John, who later served as the New York State Athletic Commissioner. (His uncle, Ralph Branca, pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers for many years, including the 1947 World Series. He is portrayed in the Jackie Robinson biopic "42" as one of Robinson's earliest supporters.)

paragraph: At age 11, Branca moved to LA, and at 13, started a rock band, "The Other Half", for which he played guitar. Three years later, he played with a band that occasionally opened for The Doors at LA's Hullabaloo Club.

paragraph: He majored in music at Los Angeles City College before transferring to Occidental College. Upon graduating, he enrolled at UCLA School of Law, serving as editor-in-chief of one of the law reviews, and received his degree in 1975.

paragraph: While working as an estate planner at the firm of Kindel & Anderson, Branca came across a Time Magazine profile of Elton John which mentioned entertainment lawyers. Branca realized that this field of law was his true calling.

paragraph: Section::::Career highlights.

paragraph: Section::::Career highlights.:Michael Jackson.

paragraph: Branca was hired by Jackson after he fired his father Joseph Jackson as his manager of his career. He was also an instrumental in the production and release of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" short film. Before "Thriller", music videos typically had budgets of $50,000—however, Jackson spent over $1 million on the music video of "Thriller". Branca financed it by persuading Showtime to pony up $1.2 million for a "Making of "Thriller"" video, the first "making of" documentary for a music video.

paragraph: In the video, Jackson turns into a werewolf. At the time, Jackson was a Jehovah's Witness, and church elders berated him for promoting demonology. Jackson ordered Branca, who had the sole copy, to destroy it. Branca told Jackson that Bela Lugosi, whom Jackson adored, and who played Dracula in the movies, was also religious and had put a disclaimer at the beginning of "Dracula" stating that he didn't endorse vampirism. This anecdote persuaded Jackson to put a similar disclaimer on Thriller and allow it to be released. In the five days following, the "Thriller" album - already out for 1½ years, sold another million copies. Ultimately, Thriller sold an estimated 110 million copies.

paragraph: The success of the video caused rock groups and record companies to consider music videos an essential part of the way rock music was packaged and sold.

paragraph: Branca helped Jackson to purchase ATV Music Publishing in 1985 for $47,500,000 (which held the copyrights to The Beatles' and Little Richard's songs). Within a few years the catalog was worth more than $400,000,000. Branca was also instrumental in facilitating the merger of ATV with Sony, creating one of the world's largest independent music publishers.

paragraph: In 2016, Sony agreed to buy the Estate's share of the catalogue for $750 million. Billboard estimated that, in addition to the $750 million, Jackson and his estate collected another $560 million over the years from its Sony/ATV investment.

paragraph: Shot Tower Capital analyzed the investment and concluded that the Estate's investment averaged a return in excess of 30 percent annually from its inception in 1985 to the 2016 sale.

paragraph: In the Michael Jackson probate case, Branca produced Jackson's final will and testament, which designated Branca as executor. The Jackson family filed a preemptive probate action in the Los Angeles Superior Court, based on the allegation that Jackson died "intestate," without a valid will. Branca filed the will in Los Angeles on July 1, 2009 and was appointed co-executor. After initially contesting the appointment of Branca and John McClain as executors of Michael's will, his mother Katherine withdrew her objections on November 10, 2009. According to the Associated Press, her attorney, Adam Streisand, said Mrs. Jackson felt it was time legal fighting ended and that her actions were in the best interest of Michael's children. In an interview published in December 2010 she was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying that Branca and McClain are doing "a very good job" managing the estate.

paragraph: Projects for the Estate that Branca initiated include the concert film "Michael Jackson's This Is It", which Branca served as Executive Producer; Cirque Du Soleil's "" which toured from 2011 to 2014 and closed as the eighth-highest-grossing tour of all time; a second, permanent "Cirque" show, "" at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, which opened in June 2013 and of which he is also a producer; a best-selling Ubisoft video game; a Spike Lee documentary, "Bad 25," which Branca also served as Producer; the 2014 #1 hit album "Xscape"; and the "Slave to the Rhythm" "holographic" MJ performance featured at the Billboard Music Awards, the first of its kind.

paragraph: Since Jackson's passing, the Jackson Estate has generated $600 million in income, erasing the $500 million debt it maintained at the time Jackson died. In May 2013, the CBS news show "60 Minutes" did a segment about the estate and called this turn-around "the most remarkable financial and image resurrection in pop culture history."

paragraph: Section::::Career highlights.:Artist representation.

paragraph: For the Rolling Stones' 1989 "Steel Wheels" tour, Branca crafted a deal which, for the first time, centralized ticket sales, sponsorships, promotions and logistics with a national promoter, rather than numerous local promoters. Today, virtually all major concert tours follow this model.

paragraph: In 1991, Branca put together what's considered rock's first mega-deal, a four-album deal for Aerosmith with Sony, estimated to be worth $50 million.

paragraph: In 2005, Branca brokered a ground-breaking 360 deal between Korn and EMI, which made EMI a partner in all of Korn's operations. EMI earned a stake in all of Korn's touring and merchandise, instead of only handling the band's CDs, which has typically been the record company's role. A few months later, Branca, with his partner David Lande, expanded the circle to include concert promoter Live Nation. The duo has since put together Live Nation 360 deals for Shakira and Nickelback.

paragraph: He serves as co-counsel for Justin Timberlake.

paragraph: Section::::Career highlights.:Music publishing.

paragraph: In 1985, Branca facilitated one of the most famous music publishing deals in history, the purchase of ATV Music Publishing for Michael Jackson.

paragraph: In 2008, changes in the tax law that allowed songwriters to pay a small capital gains tax instead of a larger income tax prompted Branca to advise some of his clients that this was the perfect time to sell their music publishing catalogs, thereby establishing new precedents in valuation. Ensuing sales included: Kurt Cobain and Nirvana copyrights; Steve Tyler's Aerosmith publishing catalog of 160 songs to "Primary Wave Music Publishing" for $50 million; Julian Lennon's share of The Beatles' royalties, and the catalog of the legendary song-writing team of Leiber & Stoller to Sony/ATV, which created a new yardstick by which the worth of catalogs was measured. He also sold Berry Gordy's "Jobete Music" to EMI, which changed the method and standard by which catalogs were valued.

paragraph: In 2009, Branca beat out Wall Street investment banking houses to represent the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization and sold their catalog for an excess of $200 million, despite predictions by the Wall Street Journal and others that the catalog wouldn't fetch more than $150 million.

paragraph: He also represented Sony Corporation of America in the $2.2 Billion acquisition of EMI Music Publishing and EMI and Sony ATV in the sale of the Virgin Music catalogue.

paragraph: In addition, Branca helped songwriters such as Don Henley of The Eagles regain copyrights of their songs, or to help them secure royalties that they've lost, as he did with John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

paragraph: These deals prompted Marty Bandier, CEO and chairman of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, to call Branca the "number one music publishing lawyer in the country."

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: At Branca's first wedding, Michael Jackson was Best Man and Rev. Little Richard Penniman served as minister.

His home has been described as a palatial estate that "resembles a vine-covered Italian villa" with such celebrities as Rod Stewart, Brian Wilson, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy and Denzel Washington living nearby.

paragraph: He has two sons, John Connor, 16 and Dylan Gregory, 14 from his second marriage, and a daughter, Jessica, 28 from his first.

paragraph: Branca helped Buddy Arnold form the Musicians Assistance Program, which later merged with MusiCares, which provides help to members of the music industry who need treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, as well as assistance for other financial, medical and personal crises. He currently serves as Chair Emeritus of Musicares. For his support, the Grammy Foundation honored him with its 2012 Service Award. Additionally, he is on the Board of the Grammy Museum, the Board of Trustees of Occidental College and on the Executive Committee of UCLA's Pauley Pavilion Renovation Campaign Committee, the goal of which is to transform the pavilion into a world-class sports and cultural facility for the university and community.
