La vida dela sera ?? phica seã catherina de Sena.

These are woodcuts from the Vida written by Raymundus de Vincis, of Capua, reproduced without the text. They appear to be from the translation printed in Valencia by Joffre in 1511, described by Genoves, v. 1, p. 74, and according to Palau were reproduced by Sancho Rayón. cf. also Catalogue of Ticknor collection.Woodcut on back cover, framed by Latin motto within border, beneath which is inscription: Venundantur l monasterio seé catherie ?? de senis ciuitatis valentine.Title beneath woodcut on first page, which is repeated on front cover; printer's mark of Juan Joffre on last page.Mode of access: Internet

'Anorexia Nervosa' : asceticism, differentiation, government

This paper looks at the severe fasting practices most commonly found among young women. Almost all explanations for this behaviour centre around the notion of the pathological condition 'anorexia nervosa'. However, food asceticism has a well-documented history, particularly when it concerns religious fasting. In ancient Greece, dietary asceticism constituted an important part of the means by which individuals constructed an acceptable 'self'. Ascetic fasting then later resurfaced at various historical moments and in various different places — such as amongst medieval religious women and, in a broader way, amongst contemporary young women. It is argued that these practices have traditionally formed part of the mechanisms by which differentiation by age and sex occurs. Overall, it is hoped that this analysis will permit not only a different focus on 'anorexia nervosa', but also on some of the ways in which young people become gendered

Recent photoproduction results from ZEUS

Recent results for inclusive jet cross sections, dijet cross sections and dijet angular distributions are compared with NLO perturbative QCD calculations. The observation of isolated high PT photons (prompt photons) is also reported

Event shape analysis of multihadronic final states in deep inelastic rapidity gap events at HERA

A global event shape analysis of the multihadronic final states observed in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) with a large forward rapidity gap (LRG) is performed in the range Q(2) greater than or equal to 5 GeV2, 160 GeV less than or equal to W less than or equal to 250 GeV and eta(max) less than or equal to 1.8. Particular emphasis is paid to the dependence of these variables, measured in the gamma*-pomeron rest frame, upon M-X, the mass of the hadronic final state. With increasing M-X the multihadronic final states become planar. The broadening effects exhibited by the data can be described by including a gluon density in models where the pomeron has a partonic structure or alternatively by considering a direct coupling of the pomeron to quark and gluon pairs
