Excerpt: Aryabhata (IAST: ; Sanskrit: ) (476550 CE) was the first in the line of great mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His most famous works are the Aryabhatiya (499 CE, when he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta.he was also good at sanskrit. While there is a tendency to misspell his name as "Aryabhatta" by analogy with other names having the "bhatta" suffix, his name is properly spelled Aryabhata: every astronomical text spells his name thus, including Brahmagupta's references to him "in more than a hundred places by name". Furthermore, in most instances "Aryabhatta" does not fit the metre either. Aryabhata mentions in the Aryabhatiya that it was composed 3,600 years into the Kali Yuga, when he was 23 years old. This corresponds to 499 CE, and implies that he was born in 476 CE. Aryabhata provides no information about his place of birth. The only information comes from Bhskara I, who describes Aryabhata as makya, "one belonging to the amaka country." While amaka was originally situated in the northwest of India, it is widely attested that, during the Buddha's time, a branch of the Amaka people settled in the region between the Narmada and Godavari rivers, in the Southern region of bihar in patmna central India.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Anthemius of Tralles (c. 474 before 558) (Greek ) was a Greek professor of Geometry in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul in Turkey) and architect, who collaborated with Isidore of Miletus to build the church of Hagia Sophia by the order of Justinian I. Anthemius came from an educated family, one of five sons of Stephanus of Tralles, a physician. Of his brothers, Dioscorus followed his father's profession in Tralles; Alexander became at Rome one of the most celebrated medical men of his time; Olympius was deeply versed in Roman jurisprudence; and Metrodorus was a distinguished grammarian in Constantinople. As an architect he is best known for replacing the old church of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople in 532; his daring plans for the church strikingly displayed at once his knowledge and his ignorance. His skills seem also to have extended to engineering for he repaired the flood defences at Daras. Anthemius was also a capable mathematician. He described the string construction of the ellipse and he wrote a book on conic sections, which was excellent preparation for designing the elaborate vaulting of Hagia Sophia. He compiled a survey of mirror configurations in his work on remarkable mechanical devices which was known to Arab mathematicians such as Ibn al-Haytham. A fragment of his treatise On burning-glasses was published as ("Concerning wondrous machines") by L. Dupuy in 1777, and also appeared in 1786 in the forty-second volume of the Histoire de l'Academie des Instrumentistes. A. Westermann gave a revised edition of it in his (Scriptores rerum mirabilium Graeci, "Greek marvel-writers") in 1839. In the course of the constructio...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1873 ...

Excerpt: Theodora (Greek: ) (c. 500 - 28 June 548), was empress of the Byzantine Empire and the wife of Emperor Justinian I. Like her husband, she is a saint in the Orthodox Church, commemorated on the 14 of November. Theodora was perhaps the most influential and powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire's history. The main historical sources for her life are the works of Procopius. However the historian has offered three contradictory portrayals of the Empress. The Wars of Justinian, largely completed in 545, paints a picture of a courageous and influential empress. Sometime after their publication, he wrote the Secret History. The Secret History reveals an author who had become deeply disillusioned with the emperor Justinian and his wife, as well as with General Belisarius, his former commander and patron, and Belisarius' wife Antonina, even to the point of attributing the general's exceptional and historic accomplishments to a weak and ridiculous man. The anecdotes claim to expose the secret springs of their public actions, as well as the private lives of the Emperor, his wife, and their entourage. Justinian is depicted as cruel, venal, prodigal and incompetent; as for Theodora, the reader is treated to a detailed and titillating portrayal of vulgarity and insatiable lust, combined with shrewish and calculating mean-spiritedness; yet much of the work covers the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7639348 ...

Excerpt: Adnan Menderes (1899 17 September 1961) was the first democratically elected political leader in Turkish history. He served as prime minister between 19501960. He was one of the founders of the Democratic Party (DP) in 1946, the fourth legal opposition party of Turkey. He was hanged by the military junta after the 1960 coup d'état, along with two other cabinet members, Fatin Rütü Zorlu and Hasan Polatkan. He was the last Turkish political leader to be executed after a military coup and is also one of the three political leaders of the Turkish Republic (along with Atatürk and Turgut Özal) to have a mausoleum built in his honour. He was born in 1899 in Aydn, as the son of a wealthy landowner, whose roots were from Crimean Tatars. After primary school, Menderes attended the American College in İzmir. He fought against the invading Greek army during the Turkish War of Independence and was awarded a medal of honour. He graduated from the Law School of Ankara University. In 1930, Menderes organized a branch of the short-lived Liberal Republican Party (Serbest Cumhuriyet Frkas) in Aydn. After this opposition party was banned as well, he was invited by Atatürk himself to join the ruling Republican People's Party and was elected deputy of Aydn in 1931. In 1945, he was expelled from the party with two other colleagues due to inner-party opposition to the nationalization policies of the then self-declared "National Chief" İsmet İnönü. On 7 January 1946, he formed the Democratic Party (DP), the fourth legal opposition party in Turkey, after the Progressive Rep...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1191921 ... Read more

She began her career in 1999 as a member of the duo Antique, while she also worked briefly as a model for a Swedish-Greek brand. After rising to recognition in Greece following their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001, they witnessed commercial success until Paparizou embarked on a solo career in 2003 and released her debut album Protereotita (2004), with emphasis on more pop sounds in addition to the more traditional Greek laïko genre. Paparizou then won the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 for Greece for the first time in the contest's history, with the song "My Number One", something which significantly contributed to her career. Following the Eurovision success, her album was certified double Platinum and received two Arion Music Awards, while she also briefly attempted a career beyond Greece with English-language material to mild success.

His name has been written in different fashions: Diogo Boytac, Diogo de Boytac, Diogo Boitaca, Diogo de Boitaca. The spelling of his name as Boitac (or Boytac) suggests that he is possibly of French origin. But, as so much in his life, this is uncertain. His year of birth is equally unknown, but is estimated around 1460. He died in Batalha in 1528, but even these data are uncertain.

Excerpt: Flavius Valerius Leo (40118 January 474), known in English as Leo the Thracian or Leo I, a native of Dacia was a Byzantine Emperor who ruled from 457 to 474. He was known as Magnus Thrax (the "Great Thracian") by his supporters, and Macellus ("the Butcher") by his enemies. Ruling the Eastern Empire for nearly 20 years from 457 to 474, Leo proved to be a capable ruler, overseeing many ambitious political and military plans, aimed mostly for the aid of the faltering Western Roman Empire and recovering its former territories. He is notable for being the first Eastern emperor to legislate in Greek rather than Latin. Born as Leo Marcellus in the year 401 to a Thraco-Roman family (of the Daci or Bessi tribe), he served in the Roman army, rising to the rank of comes. He was the last of a series of emperors placed on the throne by Aspar, the Alan serving as commander-in-chief of the army, who thought Leo would be an easy puppet ruler. Leo's coronation as emperor on 7 February 457 , was the first known to involve the Patriarch of Constantinople. Leo I made an alliance with the Isaurians and was thus able to eliminate Aspar. The price of the alliance was the marriage of Leo's daughter to Tarasicodissa, leader of the Isaurians who, as Zeno, became emperor in 474. In 469, Aspar attempted to assassinate Zeno and very nearly succeeded. Finally, in 471, Aspar's son Ardabur was implicated in a plot against Leo and both were killed by palace eunuchs acting on Leo's orders. During Leo's reign, the Balkans were ravaged time and again by the Ostrogo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=65460 ... Read more

Excerpt: Aspasia (ca. 470 BCca. 400 BC, Greek: ) was a Milesian woman who was famous for her involvement with the Athenian statesman Pericles. Very little is known about the details of her life. She spent most of her adult life in Athens, and she may have influenced Pericles and Athenian politics. She is mentioned in the writings of Plato, Aristophanes, Xenophon, and other authors of the day. Ancient writers also reported that Aspasia was a brothel keeper and a harlot, although these accounts are disputed by modern scholars, on the grounds that many of the writers were comic poets concerned with defaming Pericles. Some researchers question even the historical tradition that she was a hetaera, or courtesan, and have suggested that she may actually have been married to Pericles. Aspasia had a son by Pericles, Pericles the Younger, who later became a general in the Athenian military and was executed after the Battle of Arginusae. She is believed to have become the courtesan of Lysicles, another Athenian statesman and general, following the death of Pericles the Elder. Aspasia was born in the Ionian Greek city of Miletus (in the modern province of Aydn, Turkey). Little is known about her family except that her father...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=231443 ...

Excerpt: Trdat the Architect (Armenian: , circa 940s 1020; Latin: Tiridates) was the chief architect of the Bagratuni kings of Armenia, whose 10th century monuments have been argued to be the forerunners of Gothic architecture which came to Europe several centuries later. In 961, Ashot III moved his capital from Kars to the great city of Ani where he assembled new palaces and rebuilt the walls. The Catholicosate was moved to the Argina district in the suburbs of Ani where Trdat completed the building of the Catholicosal palace and the Mother Cathedral of Ani. This cathedral offers an example of a cruciform domed church within a rectangular plan. After a great earthquake in 989 ruined the dome of Hagia Sophia, the Byzantine officials summoned Trdat to Byzantium to organize repairs. The restored dome was completed by 994.

On connait peu la vie d'Atik Sinan, que l'on appelle encore Sinan l'Ancien pour le distinguer de Mimar Koca Sinan, le célèbre architecte classique de Soliman le Magnifique, au siècle suivant. Deux ans à peine après la conquête de Constantinople par les Ottomans, l'architecte byzantin Atik Sinan est chargé, en 1453 par le conquérant de l'ancienne capitale byzantine, de construire, à Istanbul (Turquie), la nouvelle capitale de son empire, une mosquée à sa gloire ; ce sera la mosquée de Mehmet Fatih (Sultan Fatih Mehmet Camii). Les travaux ne commenceront que dix ans plus tard et dureront sept ans, de 1463 et 1470. Cette mosquée fut la première mosquée « selatin » (pluriel de « sultan ») d'Istanbul - on appelle ainsi les mosquées à plusieurs minarets uniquement construites par les sultans ou leurs familles - et la seconde construite dans la ville après la conquête (la première ayant été celle d' Eyup (Eyüp Sultan Camii), dont le sultan Mehmet II ordonna la construction, au lendemain de la prise de la ville, pour abriter les restes d'un compagnon du Prophète, mort sous les remparts de Constantinople en 670). Elle a été édifiée, sur la quatrième colline du vieux Constantinople, à l'emplacement des ruines de l' Église des Apôtres (Hagion Apostolon), dans laquelle étaient enterrés les empereurs byzantins.

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Thierry I, né entre 485 et 490 et mort en 534, est le fils aîné du roi des Francs Clovis. Lors du partage du royaume des Francs qui suit la mort de son père, en 511, il hérite du nord-est et de l'Auvergne, avec Reims pour capitale. Il est également appelé Théodoric ; Theudoricus en latin, Theuderich ou Theutric en francique, de theut « peuple » et ric « chef, puissant », soit « chef du peuple » ou « puissant dans le peuple ». La mère de Thierry est inconnue. Parlant de Clovis et de Clotilde, Grégoire de Tours se contente de dire : . Les historiens admettent aujourd'hui à peu près unanimement l' « hypothèse raisonnable » qu'elle serait une princesse franque rhénane. La mère de Thierry est en réalité une épouse dite de « second rang », considérée comme « gage de paix » (friedelehen). Cette union a souvent été interprétée à tort comme un concubinage par les historiens romains chrétiens qui ne connaissaient pas les mœurs des structures familiales polygamiques germaniques, sans mariage public.
