Examples from two territories of medical research work will show the usefulness of signific analysis. Not long ago workers on the clinical and biophysical effects of short wave currents were opposited to each other in different schools. In a former episode the opposition moved about the explaining of short wave effects as "specific" respectively "non-specific". The analysis of the word specific learns, that it entitles a quality, when this quality according to the momental height of our knowledge, is restricted to (...) some sort of things or agents and does not belong to other sorts in the same category. Thus short wave effects are specific, when they are not produced by the longer diathermic wave-length. It is shown however, that like the abusage of similar dutch en german qualifications in ordinary language, the term specific has been reserved by many authors for effects, which they think "interesting". So it may be clear, that a group of workers used the word specific to indicate a non-thermic action. A similar disturbance in understanding followed, when schools called themselves "thermic" and "a-thermic". It is shown, that in the micro-world it is difficult to separate thermic and non-thermic energy, as the former may be a statistic interpretation of the latter. Where thermic specific effects were supposed to be realised in discontinue distribution of the effect of Joule, a discontinuity, which should reach into the world of molecular dimension because of the variability of the electric constants of matter, the volitional resistance against something so "ordinary" like diathermic warmth, led to the non logical opposition of thermists and non-thermists. In a third example, taken from certain problems about the embryologic origin of the autonomic system, it is shown, that a traditional and usual interpretation of the law of the origin of the nervous system from the outer cell-layer may confound the problems. Some questions like the possibility of the mesodermic origin of certain cells of the autonomic system would not be any longer a problem if the law is significally seen as what it is: an a-posterioric description of histiogenetic history. Many terms and problems in medicine will profit by signific analysis and clearing. (shrink)

L’article présente diverses observations faites au forum de Philippes au fil des ans, difficiles à intégrer dans une publication définitive. I. Plusieurs creusements affectent les dalles, surtout dans la partie nord-ouest du dallage : six logements pour rabattre des anneaux ayant peut-être servi aux officiels de la colonie pour attacher leur monture, et cinq trous carrés (deux sont traversants) qui pourraient avoir servi à fixer des mâts. II. Publication de 12 jeux de marelle (un seul avait déjà été illustré) dont (...) la répartition peut donner des indications sur la fréquentation réelle de la place ; en appendice, présentation succincte de 5 autres marelles (4 au marché, 1 dans la rue du Commerce). III. Fragment de cadran solaire en marbre dont le lieu d’exposition pourrait avoir été la rue du Commerce à proximité du forum. IV. Fragment d’une plaque de latrine trouvée dans un remblai, probablement antérieure au milieu du IIe s. p. C., mais dont l’emplacement d’origine ne peut être déterminé. (shrink)

L’article présente deux résultats qui trouveraient mal leur place dans la publication définitive en cours d’élaboration. I. Compléments d’ordre archéologique à la publication de la dédicace du dallage CIPh II 1, 66, et proposition pour la remettre à sa place initiale. Elle était située longitudinalement au milieu de la place de façon à pouvoir être lue depuis la terrasse haute. Comme la suivante, la première phase monumentale a été aménagée aux frais des notables de la colonie. II. Publication d’une table (...) à mesure connue par une allusion et une photographie, et d’un autre fragment très mutilé. La table à mesure située face au tabularium, impossible à dater, est taillée en sous‑face pour emboîter les degrés du monument, au moins à partir du milieu du iie s. p. C. Examen des difficultés que soulève sa présence dans un espace qui n'avait plus de rôle commercial à cette époque. (shrink)

Published in 1987: The following essays form, as their title-page shows, only the first half of a collection which the writer hopes to complete in the course of a few months. Even when completed the whole work is designed to be merely preparatory to another on the interpretation of the Platonic Philosophy, and the materials brought together in the following pages, as well as those which, it is trusted, will form their continuation, were originally intended to appear in the Introduction (...) to that projected work.

Dilts prints c πομπ . Hercher before him adopted the conjecture θεα πομπή . Several pieces of evidence tell in favour of the latter text.

The meaning of ποτπτω to plunge or dip into a liquid, is so different from that of τπτω, as to suggest that the word does not really contain τπτω but arises from πο-δπτω , in the same way as ποταπς from ποδαπς , κωλακρται from κωλαγρται, Πεταγετνιος from Πεδαγετνιος , δεκταρχος from δεκδαρχος , in all of which a voiced stop situated between two unvoiced stops becomes unvoiced.

In the process of completing his critical edition of Marcus of Orvieto's Liber de Moralitatibus, Girard J. Etzkorn happened upon a set of questions attributed to Henry of Ghent at the end of Rome's Bibliotheca Angelica codex 750. These questions are edited in this volume under the proviso "attributed to" so that scholars may compare the texts with other works of the Ghentian master known to be authentic. Etzkorn concludes that the ten questions appear to be of two literary genres. (...) Moreover, the ten questions seem to be "selected" questions and were not likely disputed at the same time. Future investigations are essential to find out if the questions may indeed be attributed to Henry himself or whether they were written by one of Henry's disciples who was copying the thoughts and words of the master.

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

O artigo analisa os usos e figuras do senso comum na filosofia britânica do século XVIII, de Shaftesbury a Reid. Essa noção, longe de exprimir uma recusa da filosofia, serve para definir o estatuto dos argumentos e conceitos que compõem o discurso filosófico.

As the apparent variant is in the text, Ludvvich alters the scholion into S0009838800018516_inline1, which has not been found in any MS. so far. The only noticeable point prima facie about S0009838800018516_inline2 is that it is an S0009838800018516_inline3 . Therefore I would read S0009838800018516_inline6. Ludwich's index to his A.H.T. gives cases of the omission of ov or OVK in the scholia.

1. Some scholia on the Odyssey, very brief but so far the most valuable as the oldest, have been published from a papyrus, parts of which have found their way to London and Vienna, by Kenyon and Wessely, and commented on by Ludwich.
