The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg has long been recognised as one of the most important sources for the history of the tenth and early eleventh centuries, especially for the history of the Ottonian Empire. Thietmar’s testimony also has special value because of his geographical location, in eastern Saxony, on the boundary between German and Slavic cultures. He is arguably the single most important witness to the early history of Poland, and his detailed descriptions of Slavic folklore are the earliest on record. This is a very important source in the medieval period, translated here in its entirety for the first time. It relates to an area of medieval studies generally dominated by German scholars, in which Anglo-phone scholars are beginning to make a substantial contribution.

This is the first volume of a two-volume edition of the Chronicle by Symeon Logothetes (10th cent.), one of the main sources for Middle Byzantine history. The text is presented here in a critical edition for the first time. In the introduction, allmanuscripts are described, and the relationships between them analysed. Wahlgren's findings differ in significant points from the (partial) analyses of earlier researchers. The edition has to be based mainly on the 11th cent. manuscript because the Slav versions of the Chronicle are of onlylittle value for the reconstruction of the original text. Navigation through the volume is facilitated by comprehensive indexes. A projected second volume will provide an edition of versions and continuations of the Chronicle.

This volume contains an English translation and introduction to Hippolytus of Rome's Commentary on Daniel and his Chronicon. Both works are the first writings of their kind. The commentary is the earliest extant Christian commentary on a book of the Bible and the Chronicon is the first extant Christian historical work.

Note that the reviews posted here are not necessarily reviews of this Chronicon Books edition, in particular, complaints related to format and readability.When the revised theory of quantum mechanics, postulating a probabilistic rather than a deterministic universe, was first introduced in the 1920s, Albert Einstein famously refused to believe that “God plays dice with the universe,” and he spent the rest of his life trying to prove it.Quantum theory, however, survived his efforts, and it seems that the universe is very much based on random probabilities. The universe has not descended into chaos because random events are strictly governed by the universal laws of mathematics, a fact that casinos depend upon. So the odds of a broken teacup spontaneously reassembling itself, are not impossible, just extremely unlikely.In 1812, long before quantum theory was ever proposed, the French scholar, Pierre-Simon Laplace, issued his Théorie analytique des probabilités in which he laid down many of the fundamental mathematical principles governing probability. Two years later, he wrote this book concerning the philosophy behind his theory. Although its application to gambling is obvious, his theory applies to many scientific fields.Enjoyment of this work, which is a 1906 translation from French into English by two American university professors, does not require a deep understanding of mathematics to enjoy and appreciate.

Excerpt from Cronache dei Secoli XIII e XIV: Annales Ptolemaei Lucensis Sanzanome Iudicis Gesta Florentinorum Diario di Ser Giovanni di Lemmo da Comugnori Diario d'Anonimo Fiorentino Chronicon Tolosani Canonici Faventini D0po avere illustrato la storia italiana del Secolo XV con le Co'm missioni di Rinaldo degli Albz'zzz', e le storie municipali con le Cronache Fermane e Viterbesi, la R. Deputazione in questo VI Volume ha raccolto alcune Cronache antiche dei secoli XIII e' XIV, le quali a buona rag - ione vogliono considerarsi come fonti storiche di grande autorità; sia perchè raccolgono le tradizioni dei tempi affatto mancanti o poverissimi di storie, sia perchè sono testimonianze spesso uniche di fatti sincroni ai loro scrit tori. Il gran conto in cui oggi giustamente si tengono tutte le antiche scritture che hanno carattere di fonti storiche dalle quali poi scaturisce la Storia studiata, fa sperare che anche a questo Volume miscellaneo non debba mancare il pubblico favore che accolse i precedenti.
