Generalized Alcuin's Sequence [PDF]
The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2012 We introduce a new family of sequences $\{t_k(n)\}_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}$ for given positive integer $k$. We call these new sequences asgeneralized Alcuin's sequences because we get Alcuin's sequence which has several interesting properties when $k=3$. Also, $\{t_k(n)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ counts the number of partitions of $n-k$ with parts being $k, \left ...

Re‐examining Hrabanus Maurus’ letter on incest and magic
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 252-273, May 2023., 2023 This article offers a reanalysis of Hrabanus’ mid‐ninth‐century text De magicis artibus. Often read and studied as a complete work, the De magicis artibus is in fact one portion of a longer text that also discusses incest and marriage practices. Furthermore, the single surviving copy of the text is deliberately attached to another work by Hrabanus, his

Of Signs: Matter and Revelation in the Liturgies of William Durand and John Calvin
International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 190-206, April 2023., 2023 Abstract This article seeks to set aside what we might call Cartesian physics to revisit William Durand's conception of sign as set forth in the Rationale divinorum officiorum and John Calvin's as set forth in the Institutio christianae religionis. Reading the two works through the lens of medieval physics reveals commonalities – both held signs to be ...

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 95-121, February 2023., 2023 This article examines the meaning and function of the Old English noun reaflac in two tenth‐century lawsuit documents, Sawyer 877 and Sawyer 1211. It suggests that reaflac was the vernacular counterpart to the Latin terms violentia and rapina. Such connected terminology suggests that a collection of now lost tenth‐century Old English charters, like S ...

The lost Missal of Alcuin and the Carolingian sacramentaries of Tours
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 350-383, August 2022., 2022 Letters of Alcuin of York attest that he composed a liturgical book he called a ‘missal’ while he was abbot of St Martin's basilica in Tours. No manuscripts of this missal survive. It has to be recovered from much later sacramentaries copied in Tours, which have been subject to significant subsequent reworking.

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 84, Issue 4, Page 719-748, August 2022., 2022 Abstract I examine the ability of donors to target the highest exposure to malaria risk when the health information structure is fragmented. I exploit local variations in the risk of malaria transmission induced by mining activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as financial and epidemiological data from health facilities to estimate how ...

Health Economics, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 972-988, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Cost‐effectiveness analyses of health care programs often focus on maximizing health and ignore nonhealth impacts. Assessing the cost‐effectiveness of public health interventions from a narrow health care perspective would likely underestimate their full impact, and potentially lead to inefficient decisions about funding. The aim of this study

Æthelstan, Wulfstan and a revised history of tithes in England
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 225-252, May 2021., 2021 The law‐text known as I Æthelstan is commonly accepted as the earliest evidence of a legal obligation to pay tithes in England. As it turns out, it might not be. The extant Old English version of I Æthelstan does indeed legislate for tithe payments.

Nemo militans Deo implicat se saecularia negotia: Carolingian interpretations of II Timothy II.4
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 55-85, February 2021., 2021 In II Timothy II.4, the apostle Paul forbids the servant of God to involve himself in saecularia negotia. While traditionally understood as a reference to commercial activities, for Carolingian thinkers the verse became a way to reflect on the political engagement of prelates and the relationship between religious and secular duties carried out by ...

Theodor Steinbüchel's Great Figures of Christian Humanism
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract Theodor Steinbüchel (1888–1949) offers a study of eight figures in Western history who may be regarded as gestalts of Christian Humanism. He argued that none of these eight figures will ever return in the same way, but since there was an eternal conception of Christianity to which their ethos gave human form, each of these gestalts can be ...
