The Anglia Book Series (ANGB) offers a selection of high quality work on all areas and aspects of English philology. It publishes book-length studies and essay collections on English language and ...linguistics, on English and American literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the present, on the new English literatures, as well as on general and comparative literary studies, including aspects of cultural and literary theory.
The essay identifies the Grammar/Glossary of the homilist Ælfric as the source for the continuous Old English gloss to the prose version of Abbo of St Germain’s
Bella Parisiacae urbis
Book III, which ...occurs in two manuscripts. The borrowings are very frequent, amounting to more than 250 in an edited text of just 90 lines. Analysis shows Ælfrician Old English matching sometimes Abbo’s main text, sometimes Abbo’s original Latin glosses. The essay argues that the Abbo gloss was executed by the scribes of the similar glossing to Aldhelm’s prose
De virginitate
in Brussels, RL 1650, those same scribes who wrote the Antwerp-London Glossaries. A conclusion contextualizes the Abbo glossing within the curriculum of a monastic school.

This simple, comprehensive and insightful dictionary is easy to navigate and is grounded with ancient and modern Kaurna voices and robust historical and contemporary sources.
Increased interest in the two- and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here we give ...definitions for the geometric, topological, kinematic and mechanical relationships between geological faults and other types of fractures, focussing on how they relate to form networks.
•We define the terms relating to fault and fracture networks.•Terms are divided into those that are geological, geometric, topological, kinematic and/or mechanical.•Terms devised relate to individual or to pairs of faults or other types of fractures, or to networks.

Chaucer’s Church Foster, Edward E.; Carey, David H.
2002, 2020-08-26
eBook
The purpose of Chaucer‘s Church is to provide clear, concise and reliable explanations of every term Chaucer uses that has a religious, liturgical, or ecclesiastical meaning. It uses a dictionary ...format, arranged according to Chaucer’s spellings, to make information readily accessible for students, teachers, critics, and the general reader. The shorter entries present brief definitions which are more lively and illuminating than those in standard dictionaries or glossaries; the longer entries are in fact short essays, with suggestions for further reading, on broader or more complex topics. In all cases the entries concentrate on lucid and accurate presentation of the meanings that the terms had or could have had for Chaucer and a fourteenth-century audience.
The book is a compact but precise reference for readers of all levels of experience on the vocabulary of fourteenth-century religion, which is often unfamiliar or only hazily understood. A careful system of cross-references guides the reader to related terms, so that individual entries can be further explored in related or larger contexts. The book may also be browsed or read on its own, for the entries taken together, especially the brief essays, provide a coherent introduction to the Christian world of the late fourteenth century.
In Chaucer ‘s Church, the editors have succeeded in compiling a volume that combines ease of use with readability and rigorous accuracy. This book provides convenient and trustworthy access to Chaucer’s religious world.
Extensive attention has been widely paid to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral (HS) images with the aid of multispectral (MS) images in remote sensing. However, the ability in the fusion ...of HS and MS images remains to be improved, particularly in large-scale scenes, due to the limited acquisition of HS images. Alternatively, we super-resolve MS images in the spectral domain by the means of partially overlapped HS images, yielding a novel and promising topic: spectral superresolution (SSR) of MS imagery. This is challenging and less investigated task due to its high ill-posedness in inverse imaging. To this end, we develop a simple but effective method, called joint sparse and low-rank learning (J-SLoL), to spectrally enhance MS images by jointly learning low-rank HS-MS dictionary pairs from overlapped regions. J-SLoL infers and recovers the unknown HS signals over a larger coverage by sparse coding on the learned dictionary pair. Furthermore, we validate the SSR performance on three HS-MS data sets (two for classification and one for unmixing) in terms of reconstruction, classification, and unmixing by comparing with several existing state-of-the-art baselines, showing the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed J-SLoL algorithm. Furthermore, the codes and data sets will be available at https://github.com/danfenghong/IEEE_TGRS_J-SLoL , contributing to the remote sensing (RS) community.
