Speaking Your Language

We're starting to localize Blogger in nine languages besides English. Not all the pages are translated yet and there's a lot of work yet to be done, but still—it's really exciting for us! With this release, even more people around the world will be able to have a voice on the web. We think that is very cool. Blogger will now key off your browser's language setting to serve up a little something closer to home

AND a new word for me
Google Search: HIKMAT

Unani (Unani medicine, Unani system of medicine, Unani Tibb): System based on the ancient Greek theory of four basic elements--air, earth, fire, and water--and four bodily fluids (humors)--blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile (choler). The goal of Unani is the "balancing" of humors. Temperament supposedly stems from the dominant humor and is a determinant of "diagnosis" and treatment. For example, anger and irritability supposedly manifest an excess of yellow bile. "Unani" is the Arabic word for "Greek." Apparently, "Hikmat" and "Tibe-Unani" are synonymous with "Unani medicine."

On several of the sites listing elements you will find historical notes and often an explanation of the origin of element names.
However, mostly, the authors of these pages copy each other and the same errors and mistakes are repeated.
I tried to do some new etymological research on the element names, and find the original articles where the discoverer of a new element announced his find and explained the naming." Peter van der Krogt

from Wooldridge: Microstructure du Dictionarium (1552)

Numbered verses in the bible first appeared in a french edition by Estienne of a new Testament published in 1851 and the whole in 1853 divided into chapter and verse and making it impossible to distinguish between prose and poetry typographically. see p118 McGrath "In the Beginning" - London 2001 Google Search: McGrath "In the Beginning" - London 2001

>> Henri Estienne. Artis typographicae querimonia. Geneva, 1569.
Estienne's diatribe against the sloppy printers of his day is a monumentof typographical bibliography and a model of typographer's art. The beauty of the roman and italic types used for the volume and the elegance of the format demonstrate how a book ought to be printed. This first edition of Estienne's treatise is bound with three other rare sixteenth-century worksin a morocco binding made for Jacques-Auguste de Thou, bearing his armsand those of his first wife, Marie Barbançon.

The fourth edition (1551) presented the text of the third edition in numbered verses. Estienne numbered the verses with the idea of providing a Greek concordance, which, however, he did not live to publish. (Robert Estienne died in 1559. It was not until 1594 that the Concordantiae Graecae Novi Testamenti was finally published in Geneva by his son Henry, although poorly edited). His verse numbers were adopted in all subsequent editions and translations.

The text of Estienne's third and fourth edition (1550, 1551) was used by William Whittingham and his colleagues as the basis for the English version of the New Testament included in the Geneva Bible, which was the most widely used English translation prior to the appearance of the King James version (1611).
Theodore Beza also used the text of Estienne 1550 as the basis for his own influential editions (see Beza 1565), and it generally came to be regarded as a standard text, especially in England.

It became the most commonly used text for the purpose of manuscript collation and exegetical commentary, and has been reprinted hundreds of times in various forms, up to the present day (see Newberry 1877, Berry 1897, Scrivener and Nestle 1906).

Literal translations are given in Newberry 1877, Berry 1897, and Young's Literal Translation.

an astonishing historical survey of the blackface fonts from 1470

The Czech font scene

In the 19th century, the Normal-Fraktur is the most common Fraktur type. Only in Bavaria, the Schwabacher is a serious concurrent of the Normal-Fraktur. However, gothic fonts (Textura) and Schwabacher are used as 'Auszeichnungsschrift' for titles and other emphasised text passages. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many new styles of alphabet design have been introduced.

The prominent features of all Fraktur fonts are the long 's' and the 'ligatures'.

The long-'s' was already introduced during the time of Bastarda handwritings in order to improve the legibility of words. It was used instead of the normal ‚s' at the beginning of words and word-parts, as well as within words: sagen, Erbse, lesen, essen, gestern, Höhensonne, etc. If a word was hyphenated or ended in an apostrohpe, the long-s remained.
Thus, the 'round-s' was used only at the end of words and word parts and at the end of syllables derived from foreign terms.

Ligatures are joined letters (1 letterform for setting) and were used to improve the flow of printed Fraktur:
from METAe Newsletter

the other use of ligatures was to speed up type setting

TAB or tablature is a method of writing down music played on guitar or bass. Instead of using symbols like in standard musical notation, it uses ordinary ASCII characters and numbers, making it ideal for places like the internet where anybody with any computer can link up, copy a TAB file, and read it.
