Am 15. Mai 1567 wurde Claudio Zuan (das ist eine mundartliche Variante des Vornamens Giovanni) Antonio Mòdverdo in das Taufregister der Kirche S.S. Nazaro e Celso in Cremona eingetragen - er dürfte also wenige Tage vorher geboren sein. Der Zeit entsprechend variiert die Namensschreibung: so findet sich auf den Druckausgaben die Variante «Monteverde», die man auch in der älteren Literatur noch finden kann; heute aber hat man sich auf die Version «Monteverdi» geeinigt, mit der der Komponist alle 121 erhaltenen Briefe unterzeichnet hat und die damit als authentisch anzusehen ist. Claudio Monteverdi war der älteste Sohn des wohl um 1542 geborenen Baldassare Monteverdi, der als Chirug und Wunderarzt in Cremona praktizierte. Product details Format Book | 141 pages ...

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was almost certainly the most versatile Second World War Bomber. Apart from its bombing role in all theatres of operation, the B-24 hauled fuel to France during the push towards Germany, carried troops, fought U-boats in the Atlantic and, probably most important of all, made a vital contribution towards winning the war in the Pacific. Its most famous single exploit is possibly the raid on the Ploesti oilfields in August 1943.The B-24 ended World War Two as the most produced Allied heavy bomber in history, and the most produced American military aircraft at over 18,000 units, thanks in large measure to Henry Ford and the harnessing of American industry. It still holds the distinction as the most produced American military aircraft. The B-24 was used by several Allied air forces and navies, and by every branch of the American armed forces during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the Western European, Pacific, Mediterranea...

Homer's mythological tales of war and homecoming,the Iliad and the Odyssey, are widely considered to be two of the most influential works in the history of western literature. Yet their author, 'the greatest poet that ever lived' is something of a mystery. By the 6th century BCE, Homer had already become a mythical figure, and today debate continues as to whether he ever existed. In this Very Short Introduction Barbara Graziosi considers Homer's famous works, and their impact on readers throughout the centuries. She shows how the Iliad and the Odyssey benefit from a tradition of reading that spans well over two millennia, stemming from ancient scholars at the library of Alexandria, in the third and second centuries BCE, who wrote some of the first commentaries on the Homeric epics. Summaries of these scholars' notes made their way into the margins of Byzantine manuscripts; from Byzantium the annotated manuscripts travelled to Italy; and the ancient notes finall...
