335 pages including index. "In preparing this book, I have used the study guides prepared by the FCC. Every topic mentioned in the FCC guide has been covered in this book - Part I for the Novice class examination, and Part II for the Technician and General class examinations. The book has been written in question and answer format, but you will find that the answers are not short and sweet. You will have a tough time just memorizing the answers. But that is what I intended. I want you to use this book not only to pass the written portion of the examination, but to learn about the fascinating hobby of amateur radio electronics. You will *know* something after you have studied this book." - from the foreward. Unmarked. Contents clean and bright. Light wear to boards which feature bright gilt lettering. Book

Hardback, approx. VIII+300 p., 170 b/w ill. + 60 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm. ISBN 9782503521954. Die Westrose der Sainte Chapelle, gestaltet um 1490 im Auftrag Konig Karls VIII., ist eine in vielerlei Hinsicht ratselhafte Schopfung: Einerseits reprasentiert sie in aussergewohnlicher Weise ein Werk flamboyanter Glaskunst des ausgehenden 15. Jahrhunderts in einem ansonsten stilreinen Bauwerk aus der Zeit Ludwigs des Heiligen (1214-1270), andererseits stellt sie ein Thema dar, dem man in der Glasmalerei nur selten begegnet - die Apokalypse. Die Offenbarung nach Johannes ist ein Sujet, das originar mit Buchkunst verbunden ist: Sie ist uns aus Handschriften des 13. bis 15. Jahrhunderts uberliefert, zusatzlich fand das Thema im 15. Jahrhundert weitere Verbreitung durch den Buchdruck: Die Blockbuchapokalypsen zum einen und Bibeldrucke der Inkunabelzeit zum anderen. Es erstaunt demnach nicht, dass man in der Pariser Apokalypsenrose die Hand eines Kunstlers identifiziert, der in Paris um 1500 als Illuminator und besonders als Entwerfer fur graphischen Buchschmuck bekannt war. Seine Identitat konnte bis heute nicht zufriedenstellend geklart werden. Er behalt deshalb nach seinem monumentalsten Werk den Notnamen Meister der Apokalypsenrose der Sainte Chapelle, von anderen Forschern wird er auch Maitre des Tres petites heures d'Anne de Bretagne (N. Reynaud) oder Unicorn Master (Ch. Sterling) genannt. Das reiche oeuvre des Meisters der Apokalypsenrose - mit besonderem Akzent auf der Buchkunst - wird in dieser Studie umfassend prasentiert und in seinem kunsthistorischen Kontext beschrieben; auch der historische Hintergrund einer innen- und aussenpolitisch problematischen Zeit fur Frankreich wird beleuchtet im Zusammenhang mit der Frage, welche programmatische Absicht des Konigs den Auftrag der Apokalypsenrose motivierte.

Hardcover, Pages: 512 ,Size:155 x 245 mm Illustrations:137 b/w, 1 tables b/w.Language(s):Latin, Italian. ISBN 9782503595894. The Institutiones humanarum litterarum ? that is, the second book of Cassiodorus? masterpiece, devoted to secular learning ? have come to us in three different textual forms: the ?authentic? recension ?, corresponding to Cassiodorus? final wishes, and two subsequent recensions, named ? and ?. Here, later interpolations were added starting from an earlier authorial draft, providing modern readers with valuable information about Cassiodorus? progressive revisions and updates. Subsequent additions are also evidence of the early fortune of the Institutiones, showing which texts were actively read and studied from the 6th to the 9th centuries. Following Roger Mynors? and Pierre Courcelle?s fundamental intuitions, Ilaria Morresi provides the first complete critical edition of the ? ? corpora, based on the systematic study of the manuscript tradition. Much attention is paid to the many diagrams included both within the Institutiones saeculares and the interpolations, which are clues to the great importance of images for Early Mediaeval teaching on Trivium and Quadrivium.
