Arnold Blumberg was a professor of History at Towson University for forty years. He served in the United States army during World Was II. In 1952 he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1995 he was winner of the Towson University President's award for distinguished service to the University. A scholar of European diplomatic history, he was the author of seven books published by University Presses, and numerous articles which appeared in distinguished journals. His research was acclaimed by scholars world wide. Previous studies of the Mexican Empire, 1863-1867, have tended to treat Emperor Maximilian as the hapless pawn of French foreign policy. This book is dedicated to redressing that imbalance. Imperial Mexico had a fully operative foreign ministry, and a vital and aggressive diplomatic corps stationed abroad. The European powers which recognized the empire accredited envoys and consuls to the Mexican court. An examination of the diplomacy of the empire is more than a retrospective survey of another lost cause. It involves an area, previously neglected, which will cast light on the foreign policies of all the nations which recognized the sovereignty of the last Hapsburg claimant to the Mexican Throne of Charles V. Since diplomacy can rarely be more effective than the degree of strength and independence of the country conducting it, historians in the past have regarded study of the relations of the Mexican Empire of Maximilian with other states as an exercise in futility. Professor Blumberg has seen it otherwise. Noting that Maximilian's Empire had an operating foreign ministry and a diplomatic corps in Europe, he attempts to document every official contact between Mexico and other governments and suggests that if the Emperor Maximilian had been more skillful in the art of international intercourse, he might have maintained himself in Mexico independent, or nearly so, of outside aid. His bibliography, which will be a boon to other seekers in the field, shows how much can be done in the way of European archival research without leaving the United States. Much of the material is filed in the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress or the National Archives. Of particular note is the study of Maximilian's diplomatic relations with his brother, Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria. Maximilian's inept profession of friendship to the King of Italy, Austria's enemy in the Seven Weeks War, exacerbated the unresolved question of his future position in Europe should he be obliged to leave Mexico, and may have influenced his decision to refuse to abdicate. Also, the role of United States Secretary of State Seward in escorting France out of Mexico is refined if not revised by the description of his deceptively sympathetic attitude toward the Mexican Empire until he was in a position, after the termination of the Civil War, to use force to restore the Mexican Republic., The American Philosophical Society, 1971, 2.5, Westminister, Maryland, U.S.A.: Alfred a Knopf Inc, 1995 inscribed to Greg Gatenby "For Greg all --- in --- William Boyd *****Greg Gatenby was the founding Artistic Director of the world-renowned, annual International Festival of Authors and of the weekly Harbourfront Reading Series.

These volumes and their origines in the international and interdisciplinary Colloquium Carlos Magnus: 1200 Years of Civilization and Science in Europe that was held in Aachen, March 19-26, 1995. It was conducted as a collaborative undertaking between five chairs of mathematics and those of medieval history, Romance languages, and art history, at the Aachen University of Technology, togheter with the Diocese of Aachen. The object of the Colloquium was to elucidate the intellectual world under Emperor Charlemagne who selected Aachen as his permanent winter residence in 794/95, as well as to study the influence upon present day mathematics, especially of those fields of mathematics and their applications the roots of which may go back to the Carolingian court school.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Gute Exemplare, kaum Abnutzung / Good copies, almost no wear. - 1: Die Artes Liberales waren beim Übergang von der Spätantike zum frühen Mittelalter nahezu ganz verschwunden; verloren waren die Philosophie und Jurisprudenz vor allem aber Mathematik und Technik. Diese Wissenschaften wiederbelebt zu haben sowie entsprechende Bibliotheken aufgebaut, Scriptorien eingerichtet und lateinische sowie christliche Autoren wiederbeschafft zu haben, ist der Verdienst Karl's des Großen und seiner gelehrten Mitarbeiter. Im vorliegenden Band I sind verschiedene Facetten dieses Wirkungsprozessen im Lichte der neuesten Forschungen präsentiert und diskutiert worden. This volume seeks to elucidate the intellectual world under Emperor Charlemagne, its precursors and role models as well as the patterns and details of the educational reforms that set in train what has been called the Carolingian Renaissance. Against this broad background of intellectual stirrings and reform efforts, the volume focuses on the scholarly activities during Carolingian times (the Artes Liberales), on the literary, juridical and political sphere, on the development of the church and the evolution of monasticism and their role in preserving the heritage of antiquity. 2: This volume includes 35 papers that deal with the heritage of Charlemagne in the mathematical sciences. It focuses on those fields which Alcuin of York and others introduced at the court school at Aachen, founded some 1200 years ago, and that continue to play a role in contemporary mathematics. The emphasis is on exemplary topics in modern geometry, combinatorics, operations research, number theory and related fields. Selected topics in the history of mathematics since the Carolingian renewal are also covered. Dieser Band enthält 35 Arbeiten, die von den Nachwirkungen der karolingischen Mathematik Zeugnis geben. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Gebieten, die durch Alcuin von York und andere zur Zeit der Gründung der Aachener Hofschule vor 1200 Jahren eingeführt wurden und die auch noch in der heutigen Mathematik eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Exemplarische Beiträge aus der modernen Geometrie, aus Kombinatorik, Zahlentheorie, Unternehmensforschung und aus verwandten Gebieten stehen im Mittelpunkt. Auch ausgewählte Beiträge zur Geschichte der Mathematik seit der karolingischen Renaissance werden vorgelegt. ISBN 2503506739 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1121, Books<
