Subject:	C.S. Lewis Died on This Historic Day
Time:	07:53 am

http://ancienthistory.about.com/b/2009/11/22/this-day-in-ancient-history-2.htm

Apuleius

On Friday, November 22, 1963, C.S. Lewis died. While Lewis is known for his children's Narnia series and writings on Christianity, he was a scholar trained in the Classics. Among my favorite works by Lewis is Till We Have Faces, which is a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche, which comes from The Golden Ass of Apuleius. In Apuleius' version of the beauty and the beast motif, Psyche marries the goddess Aphrodite's son and then violates the rules of that marriage. To regain her divine husband, she must perform four impossible tasks, including a trip to the Underworld. C.S. Lewis puts on a spin on the story by telling it from the perspective of one of the wicked sisters.

On the day of Lewis' death, JFK and Aldous Huxley also died.
Also see the Guide to Classical Literature's review of a biography of C.S. Lewis.

Has a joker ever tried to show you that instead of having the obvious 10 fingers, he actually has 11? This is done by bending down and counting fingers on one hand backwards from 10: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6...." The joker then says "... and 5 makes 11".

Subject:	On This Day in History Crassus
Time:	07:53 am

http://ancienthistory.about.com/b/2009/11/21/on-this-day-in-ancient-history-september-21.htm

On this day in 53 B.C. Marcus Licinius Crassus died. Crassus was a member of the first triumvirate, along with Pompey and Caesar. He was a very greedy, wealthy man, but not as capable a military leader as Pompey or Caesar. However, it was largely through Crassus' efforts that the rebellion of Spartacus was put down in 71 B.C., even though Pompey took the credit.

In 53 B.C., Crassus was governor of Syria. He was attempting to earn glory for himself by invading Parthia, even though there was no justification for it. It was after the battle at Carrhae that Crassus was killed.

Subject:	The Extraordinary World of Ex Libris Art
Time:	11:33 pm

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheThrillingWonderStory/~3/mQ_WUyBMDvU/extraordinary-world-of-ex-libris-art.html

"QUANTUM SHOT" #48
Link - article by Simon Rose and Avi Abrams

Sometimes ex libris is more valuable than the book containing it

  Ex libris, meaning ‘from the library of’, or ‘from the books of’ is a Latin expression attached to the art form of bookplates. These are stamps or labels that appear inside books to denote ownership, and range from the simple to the decorative and elaborate, to the obscure or even bizarre and surreal.

Noble families often used a personal coat of arms or crest, frequently featuring a family motto in their native language or in Latin. Naturally, styles change over time, but most bookplates reflect the decorative styles of the era in which they were created.   A vast range of illustrations feature on bookplates - dragons, angels, trophies, animals, birds, children, musical instruments, weapons, floral displays, trees, plants, landscapes and much more.

(images credit: Pratt Libraries, via)

The study and collection of bookplates began around 1860. Bookplates are very often of high interest, exceeding that of the book in which they are placed. They are valued for their historical interest as examples of art from a particular time period, but also if they belonged to famous people. This article does not claim to include all the bookplates in history and simply examines and highlights some of the more interesting examples of ex libris art that uncovered in the course of my research.

(images via 1, 2)

The bookplate first came on the scene just after the first printed books made their appearance in the fifteenth century. The earliest known examples of bookplates are from Germany, where they were made in large numbers before the practice spread to other countries. Consequently, for collectors, these examples are often of the most interest artistically. The oldest recorded bookplate dates from around 1450.

This angelic design from Germany, known as the ‘Gift-plate of Hildebrand Brandenburg of Biberach to the Monastery of Buxheim’, dates from around 1480 - via

In France the most ancient ex-libris as yet discovered is that of one Jean Bertaud de la Tour-Blanche from 1529, while the oldest example from England belonged to Sir Nicholas Bacon, a politician in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and father of Francis Bacon. It served as a gift plate for books he presented to the University of Cambridge before his death in 1579.

Early plates from Holland and Italy are dated to 1597 and 1622 respectively. Examples are common from many parts of Europe in the seventeenth century and the earliest known American example is the plain printed label of John Williams from 1679.

Bookplates appeared in other parts of the world as well. This one attributed to Shah Jahan dates from the Mughal dynasty era in India in 1645:

(fragments, see the whole art here)

While this one (image below left) was also clearly inspired by the artwork and customs of the Indian subcontinent. The ex-libris on the right: great executioner design serves as a warning to respect the book’s ownership or face drastic consequences:

Heraldic designs were commonly used for decoration, as shown in this plate from England:

(image via)

This American design from 1905 has some heraldic and coat of arms elements, but also incorporates a house in an elegant frame (image below left). George Bancroft’s bookplate, complete with a signature, takes inspiration from Ancient Greece. “Eis phaos” translates from Greek as “towards the light.”

This plate created for himself by Samuel Hollyer dates from 1896, but mentions Hogarth and is in the style of the eighteenth century (image left). On the right is the great design for Jane Patterson, from 1890:

(images via)

Artist Amy Sacker designed many bookplates for her clients in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries:

(images via)

In this one, dated 1953, a monk sits at the foot of a tree, which bears books as well as leaves on the branches. Right image is a wonderful depiction of a skeleton playing the cello, from 1909:

(images via 1, 2)

These excellent examples of bookplates all date from the first half of the twentieth century:

(images credit: Pratt Libraries, via)

Historical personalities and celebrities, politicians, movie stars, athletes and even some of the more infamous figures of history, have all used bookplates as well:

French president Charles de Gaulle’s bookplate proudly displays the Cross of Lorraine, symbol of the Free French Forces during World War Two (left image); Edward Heath, former British Prime Minister, used a bookplate that reflected his passion for sailing (middle image); Ramsay MacDonald, Britain’s first Labour Prime Minister in the inter war period (right image):

This one on the left, dating from around 1907, belonged to the last Czar of Russia, the unfortunate Nicholas II. Upper right image: Queen Victoria’s bookplate looks suitably royal, displaying a coat of arms. Lower right image: This belonged to the Swedish and Norwegian King Oscar II -

George Washington’s bookplate, showing a family coat of arms, was engraved in London to his specifications in 1792 (left image). Paul Revere, hero of the American Revolution, was also an renowned engraver and a designer of silverware and had his own unique artwork for use with his book collection (right image):

(images via 1, 2)

Charles Dickens, well known of course as a writer of books, had his own bookplates for the volumes in his personal collection (left image). Jack London’s bookplate looks ideal for placing inside his own novels, such as Call of the Wild or White Fang (on the right):

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, had a suitably grand design pasted into his book collection:

(Ex-libris on the right is dated 1909, via)

The bookplate belonging to Sigmund Freud contains a nude figure (left image). Jack Dempsey, world champion heavyweight boxer in the 1920’s (right image):

Benito Mussolini, the infamous Italian dictator, needs no introduction and these are two of the bookplates that he commissioned in the mid thirties:

(image via)

Greta Garbo famously declared that she wanted to be alone, probably with plenty of books for company, all displaying her own distinctive label (left image). Douglas Fairbanks Jr, was born in New York, but had a very aristocratic British style to his bookplate (right image):

The bookplate of Harpo Marx features a caricature of himself (top left image). Charles Chaplin used this bookplate in his personal library. Other Hollywood celebrities who had their own bookplates include: Cecil B. de Mille, Bing Crosby - see image below:

Wonderul sets of ex libris art are located here and here.

Some vintage ex libris art had an amazing amount of detail, comparable with paintings and engravings of the period:

(Bookplate circa 1814, 1907 - Designed for Franz James Mankiewicz - image via)

Now, the later "red figure" pottery also uses black (all over the background), so, clearly, I need to explain it a bit better. In black figure painting, the pottery remains clay colored, so it is usually red, but the figures are painted.

Subject:	It's Not Too Early For (Stoic) Resolutions
Time:	06:55 am

http://ancienthistory.about.com/b/2009/11/19/its-not-too-early-for-stoic-resolutions.htm

Gym classes may be a great way to lose weight and gain muscle, but they're also good for chatting and learning about health and lifestyle. In one of my classes, a fellow participant said a major reason for our collective weight problem is that people set up New Year's Day as the time to start dieting. Then from U.S.-Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve they binge because it doesn't yet count and they want to get it all in before they have to deprive themselves. This has the predictable, dire consequences.

While behavioral resolutions won't necessarily be compromised by a few extra pounds of flab, the more practice we get in, the better off we'll be. So, in the interest of having mens sana in corpore sano 'a healthy mind in a healthy body' (an expression from the Roman satirist Juvenal), take a look at these 5 Stoic Resolutions, which are as suitable for the day after Thanksgiving as the start of the New Year.

It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.

Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown.

I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

On this day in A.D. 9, the future Roman emperor Vespasian was born. Vespasian was officially Imperator Titus Flavius Vespasianus Caesar. He was born at Falacrinae, and died June 23, 79, of "diarrhea" at Aquae Cutiliae. He was the first of the Flavian Dynasty. For fans of Lindsey Davis, the Falco mysteries are set under the reign of Vespasian. Davis also wrote about Vespasian's mistress, Caenis.

On this day in 3 B.C., Jesus was born, according to Clement of Alexandria.

Tiberius Denarius

Tiberius Denarius © Clipart.com.

On this day in 42 B.C., the future Roman emperor Tiberius (Tiberius Claudius Nero) was born. He died on March 16 A.D. 37. Tiberius was the adopted heir of the first emperor of Rome, Augustus, and became emperor upon his death in A.D. 14. In 26, Tiberius retired to the island of Capri. This left an unscrupulous, greedy and power hungry Praetorian Sejanus in charge at Rome. When Tiberius died, the crowds rejoiced... for a while. Then Caligula, who is known as a crazy and sadistic emperor, became the third emperor of Rome.

Suetonius on Tiberius
