Affidavit of state farmers P. Osl. inv. no. 1468

The text is a declaration on oath by state farmers. During the Roman administration of Egypt, sworn declarations were used in a variety of contexts. However, although the text clearly concerns the administration of public land, the extant part of it does not reveal the precise nature of the undertaking documented here. In this article, possible contexts relating to the affidavit are discussed.     

The R.C.H.M.E./G.M.A.U. Joint Survey of Textile Mills in Greater Manchester

Abstract

This paper outlines progress during the first two years of the Greater Manchester Textile Mill Survey, which started in May 1985. A county-wide index to mill sites has been created, based on cartographic information, which aims to assist the assessment and comparison of large numbers of mills. A range of documentary research was undertaken and a representative sample of sites selected for individual study. The paper concludes with summaries of two selected sites in Ancoats, Manchester.

从二十四顷地教案日期的分歧看教会史料的局限

在内蒙古二十四顷地教案中比利时圣母圣心会韩默理主教被杀,这是长城以北义和团运动中震惊中外的大案。由于西方史家尚未充分利用中文档案,致使西文著作的许多事实与中文史料不符。本文考辨案发日期,认为在是１９００年７月１９日,而非教会传统的说法７月２０日,并进一步认为双方若能跳出各自民族、宗教和政党的狭隘圈子,不仅有助于澄清一些历史悬案和争端,也能更好地在历史研究领域等各个方面进行交流合作。
