A father's story
(2004)
All across the world, in all walks of life, families everywhere look forward to Summer vacations as a way to spend meaningful time together. When my own children were young, I made it a point every year to take them to someplace exciting and new-Florida and New York in the United States, Switzerland and Italy in Europe, Ecuador and various Colombian cities in South America. I always hoped that, as adults, they would look fondly upon the memories they had of their vacation days with their father and one day do the same with their own children.
„Semper Apertus“
(2012)
On 5 August 1947, two years after the occupying American army had shut it down, the University of Heidelberg recognized Prälat Hermann Ludwig Maas (1877–1970) on his seventieth birthday with a doctorate honoris causa. The document which the Rektor, Prof. Hans Freiherr von Campenhausen, presented to Maas supported the honor with half a dozen reasons why he was worthy of the title Doktor, but the laudatio made no mention of the university’s debt to Hermann Maas that arose in the summer of 1945. Years later, when Maas was a walking, living legend in his own city, the popular press remembered that Maas and members of the Theological Faculty taught uninterruptedly during the Summer Semester of 1945 while other faculties
slumbered. Maas and his colleagues helped the university live up to its heralded motto: semper apertus.
Donaueschinger Wappenbuch
(2012)
A number of german late medieval armorials belong to the Bodensee group, named after their
region of manufacture. Strictly speaking, they do not make up a series of copies, but they share a
number of features. All include many marker coats-of-arms, i.e. combinations of legends and
figures-of-arms unlikely to have been invented independently. Some are curious mistakes of actual
arms, but most belong to the imaginary arms attributed to non-christian realms or to names from
literature. Some armorials include segments of ternionen (three best of each), notably the Nine
Worthies, quaternionen (the Pillars of the Empire), and / or organize parts of the german nobility by
their membership of tournament societies. Woodblocks were used for prestamping the outlines of
shields, helmets and manteling, and several were reused for different armorials. It is likely that part
of the sources used wasere older collations owned by or readily accessible to the artisans
responsible. Except for short fragments copying was rarely used, but pick-and-mix would be the
favoured approach, though by which guiding principles still need to b e clarified.
