A "Tree" of Genealogy

The quest for the first "family tree" has been one of my scholarly interests for years. Readers of this blog will know by now that stemmata, ramifying diagrams with ancestors at the top, were invented in antiquity (provedly before 427 CE). The inversion of those diagrams into family trees with ancestors as the roots and their descendants as boughs and leaves was a slow transformation that took well over a thousand years. One of the most interesting way-stations in that process is the invention of the term "family tree," where "tree" in its medieval sense simply meant a diagram that could be scaled up at will (just as a tree or a crystal grows) without specifically denoting that the diagram must visually resemble a natural tree. Christine Klapisch-Zuber in her major work, L'Ombre des Ancêtres, fixes the first fusion of "genealogical" and "tree" in Latin in 1312 by Bernard Gui, a Dominican inquisitor and bishop in the south of France, who wrote a history of the French kings.That means that in the latest wave of Vatican digitizations, special interest attaches to a 1369 translation of this work into French by Jean Golein.

This forms the second part of the codex Reg.lat.697, which can now be consulted online. La Généalogie des Roys de France commences at folio CXIIr. Note the flowers and tendrils which indicate that the idea of arbre is already playing on the minds of the artists. As one sees in the example below, the main line of kings is at centre-page, descending page by page through the book, and little roundel-link stemmata of each king's non-monarchical relatives are set off to one side.

This is not Golein's autograph of course. That, according to Delisle, is in the parliamentary library in Paris. The first part of the Vatican codex contains Golein's French rendering of the Flores chronicorum, also by Bernard Gui, which is a history since the time of Jesus of the popes and Roman emperors. Reg.lat.697 is wonderfully illuminated and offers us this notable conclave of cardinals:

Bullet from Pasco man’s suicide hits bystander

PORT RICHEY — It was a school night. Yvonne Diaz invited her cousin Jeane Sams to her condo at the New America complex Wednesday to visit with her children and fiancee. The family gathered in the living room and ate pizza rolls while watching Monsters Inc. Sams stepped outside the front door to take a phone call.

They heard a blast outside that sounded like a firecracker over the TV.

Then pounding on the door.

Sams spilled into the foyer, blood gushing from her leg.

"I got shot," she told them, Diaz said.

Diaz’s fiancee, Brandon Parker, rushed the children upstairs. Diaz put pressure on the wounds, like she’d seen in episodes of CSI. There were three wounds: entry and exit holes just above her right knee and a bruise on her other leg where the bullet finally stopped.

What she didn’t know was that the bullet had first traveled through a man’s head.

• • •

A few minutes earlier, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, Michael Bruty, 28, was arguing with his girlfriend several yards north on Frontier Trail — loud enough to draw a crowd between the rows of white two-story condos.

Bruty threatened to kill himself, sheriff’s spokeswoman Melanie Snow said. His girlfriend told him not to do it. He put the gun to his head.

Parker remembers Bruty as a nice neighbor. They had cookouts in the complex with their kids. Bruty had two daughters from one marriage and a son from a second, said his grandmother, Zoe Kostopoulos.

"He was a good kid," she said. "He didn’t look like the suicidal type."

• • •

Two families called 911 that night, yards across the road from each other. Parker said that when deputies arrived at his condo, they yanked him out of his apartment and shoved him up against a car, thinking he’d shot Sams.

They questioned him multiple times, he said, before the gun was recovered from beneath Bruty’s body. Deputies still aren’t sure of the bullet’s exact trajectory, especially since two cars were parked in the most direct path between where Bruty and Sams stood.

Bruty died at the scene. Paramedics loaded Sams into an ambulance and took her to Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point. She was expected to be released later Thursday.

Times researcher Carolyn Edds contributed to this report. Contact Alex Orlando at [email protected] or (727) 869-6247.

STAGE 2

The Idol Dead

There’s nothing I admire more than seeing a upcoming group like event openers The Idol Dead tearing through a set like its Wembley stadium. Judging by the amount of people in attendance on this the smaller of the 2 stages this 5 piece have already gathered a healthy fan base with their energetic stage moves. “Clear lines” is a fine example of their punky attitude and is a major head rip roarer of a track and its over way too soon. With plenty of banter between artist and audience its the perfect curtain raiser to the weekend. With touches of The Cult, Motley Crue even the New York Dolls you couldn’t fail to raise a smile or be entertained.

Psychobabylon

The sleazemeter goes up a notch or two with the arrival of Psychobabylon with vocals reminiscent of Vince Neil. Pounding drums and some very tasty guitar work thrown in for good measure all add up to a promising prospect. Man mountain vocalist “Rusty D” is where the eyes and ears are at with a set of pipes finer than a church organ. He’s not afraid to peel off a couple of death growls when the group down tune their playing especially on the rampaging “Angels” which the group announce they may never have played this track live before, seriously this begs the question why? Because to my ears this is far and away the stand out moment from the set. “Love and War” sways, growls and grunts with a typical LA Guns vibe a moment when fists were firmly in the air Transmission Vamps “Baby I Don’t Care” is covered brilliantly and with a bit of spicing up it went down well and the crowd reaction proved this to be a good choice of cover.

Speed Stroke

Staying on the 2nd stage next up was Speed Stroke decked out in tight jeans, bandanas all topped up with masses of swirling hair and stage moves a plenty with dirty filthy sleazy riffs sums up why so many people have gathered around the stage. Sometimes frantic sometimes less frantic nothing was going to stop “Speed Stroke” not even a broken bass drum pedal 3 songs in. When the group really hit top gear is when they find their AC/DC groove. With heavy heart I had to cut the set short as I had to dash over to the main stage but with barely 3 minutes left to achieve this I had to say goodbye to a bunch of guys who are a breath of fresh air and although the weekend has just started with 19 acts to follow I may well have witnessed the band of the weekend.

Coyote Mad Seeds

While many bands from all over the UK and further afield had rolled up to Sheffield to fill the air with rock and roll, Sheffield was not going to take this lying down, and to prove that point were three local lads taking the stage as Coyote Mad Seeds. And, boy did these guys show that Sheffield had what it takes to prove that Rock Ain’t Dead. Even with an overlap with the Main stage, they held their own as quite a few punters thoroughly enjoyed a good, solid rock show as Joe, Chris and Rik fully earned the title of “Full Force Balls Out Rock ‘n’ Roll from Sheffield”. Pumping out good solid rock anthems like “Luck is For Losers” they energised a very receptive audience, endeared themselves as they ribbed each other and audience members before Joe came out onto the floor, ripping some solid riffs as he was provided some amber liquid refreshments. This was an entertaining fully engaged performance that left everyone feeling they had seen a rock show very worthy of being on the HRH stage.

Honourable Mention – Senton Bombs

Four unabashed rockers took the stage to let everyone know what the Senton Bombs were about and produced a great set that brought more punk energy to rock and roll. While it would have been great to see the full set, there is no physical way to be in two places at the one time. Only a few brief moments allowed me to get a glimpse into what these guys were about. It was loud and it was good! More than enough to give this reviewer a stabbing pang of guilt more time could not be given to hear the full set.

MAIN STAGE

Midnite City

Over on the main stage was Midnite City and they have amassed enough interest to pack out the floor before them with a healthy sprinkle of support on the balcony. Not just a fine sleaze band but also respected for their melodic rock leanings. New single “Give Me Love” from their yet unreleased 2nd album goes down well and vocalist “Rob Wyldes” enthusiasm is evident as he dances and swings his arse all over the stage on this Bon Jovi sounding track. Personally watching “Midnite City” is the closest thing to heaven for me with Def Leppard licks, Danger Danger looks and Trixter moves, it sounds good and believe me it works perfectly. “Summer Of Our Lives” has always been a fan favourite and it comes over twice as good live than the studio version. The hour passes in a flash leaving a very contented hall behind them.

Last Great Dreamers

Standing centre stage with guitar slung low and a tasty look bowler hat on his head is the one and only Mark Valentine singer guitarist and all round entertainer, the band in question is The Last Great Dreamers a band with a chequered if long career who are receiving high praise indeed from wherever they perform. With a range of styles from 70s glam to green day infused riffs and The Wildhearts choruses the end result is lots of Dad dancing from the audience and people being grateful that miserable grunge has died a death. HRH have a radio station and “Sunshine” got to number 1 in the charts so lots of ‘thank you’ from Mr Valentine for the DJs that promoted the song. The track itself comes blasting out the speakers like a sonic boom and a small but friendly mosh pit coalesces in front of the stage. Special mention must go to Tigertailz bassist Berty Burton who was doing double shift this weekend but his duck walking antics on the stage even caught the attention of the miserable looking security guy and shock horror!! he smiled.

Wildheart

Imagine being placed in a time machine and transported back to 1984 (wouldn’t that be nice?) well Wildheart offer that opportunity for just the price of a concert ticket. Hailing from Belgium with a singer called Farty you would be fooled into thinking this is a million miles from the crazy Sunset Strip but be fooled no longer because this band is seriously the real deal. Talk about well thought out crafted songs with spine tingling riffs and elements of Dokken, Van Halen and Ratt you will get the picture. The confidence of these guys and the set is as tight as a drum. With the clock ticking down we get treated to Whitesnake’s Still Of The Night and a victorious full stop to a cracking live performance’

Jetboy

The moment for me has arrived after waiting for 35 years to witness Jetboy another band on my ever shrinking bucket list is now well and truly ticked off. The group have never played these shores before and main man “Mickey Finn” is just buzzing in his Union Jack Rolling Stones T shirt and is visibly stunned to be in the UK. “Rock n Roller” gives the opportunity for the harmonica to appear and in comes the boogie woogie with enough electricity to supply a City the size of Sheffield. Not content with resting up its head first into the slide guitar of “Bullfrog Pond” and its insane grooves. With Jet Boy they have been given the opportunity to record a new album and we are treated to a preview of first single “Born To Fly” and if this is anything to go on then this album could be a monster. This is as good as a comeback track your likely to hear for a very long time. The bass heavy thunderous riff of “Heavy Chevy” offers a slight departure in the Jetboy style and just proves they aren’t a one trick pony. With Mickey Finn falling to his knees and shaking his head like he’s possessed. New track “Beating The Odds” produces a deafening roar from the speakers and serious riffage of the highest order. This isn’t sleaze this is pure unashamed METAL. No Jetboy gig can be wrapped up without “Feel The Shake” a mish mash of grinding hips and Angus Young inspired guitar work made this historic “I was there” moment all the better. Mickey Finn has won 2 awards this weekend one for best Mohican and the other award is the happiest man in Sheffield.

L.A. Guns

Attendance was roughly 3400 and most seemed to be here for L.A. Guns so with no further hanging around “Diary Of A Madman” acted as the intro music before “Devil Made Me Do It” hits us straight between the eyes, from the very start guitarist Tracii Guns is on fire ripping the living daylights out of his 6 strings this man is admired around the world for his ability and you can understand why. Drummer “Shane Fitzgibbon” is a powerhouse and this is evident on “Electric Gypsy” anything less than accomplished musicians would never be backing Phil Lewis. Fourth song in, and out comes the Jimmy Page inspired bow and under a lone spotlight Tracii Guns cuts a Zeppelin flavoured solo before merging with the moody “Over The Edge” If ever a title of a song reflects the speed of the song then its the ball crunching “Speed” which has to be most filthiest song played on this the first day. With the set progressing before my very eyes I am well aware that I’m just watching Tracii and paying no attention to anything else, the man is from another universe!! The song that has stood the test of time better than most is “Ballad Of Jayne” this is LA Guns career highlight whether they like it or not. Watching Phil Lewis is spine tingling as he just croons his way through to the end and it’s a pleasure to be a witness.

“Rip And Tear” draws day One to a fitting conclusion with the punters spilling out on the street and with those with any stamina left to enjoy the rock disco while the curtain falls on a manic but highly enjoyable day.

Quote

“Vien dietro a me, e lascia dir le genti: sta come torre ferma, che non crolla già mai la cima per soffiar di venti” (Dante Alighieri) L'arte va onorata e rispettata, in ogni sua forma. Spesso questa forma di deferenza viene però a mancare, non tanto per l'onore che ad essa si deve tributare, poco importa se ad un vernissage ci si presenta in smoking o abito lungo o in sneakers e jeans, tanto invece per il rispetto a cui si deve. Ha più importanza l'inaugurazione con caviale e champagne o quella con cracker e formaggio? È degna di nota la mostra che fa più numeri o qualità? Interessa più il "fate parlare gente" o i "pochi ma buoni"? Il rispetto e l'onore non devono in ogni caso mancare, che dire della presenza di tanti sedicenti politici della cultura che si presentano ad inaugurare questo o quell'evento senza conoscere nulla e senza sapere nulla di ciò che vanno a vedere? Sono magari gli stessi personaggi che poco prima hanno appoggiato il nuovo centro commerciale della zona e nel frattempo hanno messo a pagamento il parcheggio davanti al museo, gli stessi che leggono la parola "cultura" come sinonimo di sagra paesana, bancarelle di prodotti alimentari locali, giostre di cavalli luminosi e nascondo invece le segnaletiche del monumento storico o non rinfrescano la sede dell'APT locale, biglietto da visita per chi entra in città. È così che si onora e rispettano l'arte e la cultura? Continuando a far sopravvivere enti e luoghi grazie ai volontari e alle raccolte firme e fondi per salvaguardare gli spazi o per crearne altri? Perché i giovani che si immettono nel cammino dell'arte sono costretti a viverla solo come hobby o più facilmente emigrare verso altri lidi più felici? Davvero è solo ed esclusivamente un problema di costi quello che ci circonda? Senza contare pagliacciate spacciate per festival con tanto di premi e serata di gala fatte solo per far girare sponsor e amici e che, inevitabilmente, l'anno dopo sparirà. Un musicista è un professionista che ha dedicato anni di studio e tempo per finire poi a suonare la marcia nuziale ai matrimoni? Un pittore un professionista che è chiamato per decorare i muri di una pizzeria? Uno scrittore uno che si diletta poi a compilare necrologi per il giornale? È questa la cultura del rispetto delle professioni? Ciò che fa del nostro Paese il top non è tanto la storia passata o il "regalo" di giovani menti aperte alla novità e al cambiamento, ciò che invece è il nostro (purtroppo) "fiore all'occhiello" è il pressapochismo, il "tutto dovuto e arrivederci e grazie", il sistema del volontariato dilagante anche nei ruoli che non si dovrebbero coprire e, soprattutto, le promesse non mantenute condite dalle coniugazioni prossime future: faremo, creeremo, sostenteremo, finanzieremo. Già, più facile galleggiare che nuotare, più facile seppellire tutto sotto una marea di scartoffie, burocrazia e inasprimento perché se il "sistema ti sistema" allora in fondo c'è la speranza che prima o poi qualcuno delle vecchie glorie si stufi e lasci lo spazio ai giovani fiduciosi che ricominciano da capo il percorso arrivando poi ad abbandonare per necessità e delusione. Non stupiamoci dei cachet di certe starlette televisive uscite da qualche reality tv insignificante, è quello che si vuole, perché ridere degli altri è più facile che ridere di sé stessi. Si deprecano più comodamente la professionalità e la fatica di chi si è messo al servizio di un'idea e di una ricerca, quanti sono ora coloro che si ritrovano (se tutto va bene) a suonare ai matrimoni, a decorare un locale o a scrivere per un trafiletto pubblicitario? Troppi! Ed è altrettanto facile poi sentire dire "Ah ma se fai il musicista (lo scrittore o l'artista), sapevi dall'inizio che era meglio studiare qualcosa che ti procurasse un lavoro vero!", ora, definitemi "lavoro vero", poi la disquisizione può continuare. Nel frattempo cosa dire quando non si rispetta e non si onora il passato storico del paese e non si incentiva e aiuta chi invece vuole progredire? Chi ha il potere di cambiare le cose ci pensi, ci pensi seriamente sul ruolo al quale è chiamato ad agire. Tra un bicchiere di champagne o una tartina al salmone ogni tanto si pensi alla funzione per la quale si è stati chiamati per porre l'attenzione su ciò che si fa e non su ciò che si è e basta. Serve, più che il presenzialismo, essere ricordati non per l'inutilità o il misfatto di turno, ma per il lavoro compiuto senza pressapochismo o volteggi di parole. Ogni persona ha la capacità di cambiare, di agire, perché è il "fare" che ci distingue, ognuno di noi è chiamato in causa per rispettare e onorare l'arte, la cultura e il posto che ci accoglie: rispettiamoci e onoriamoci quindi. Quale futuro ai posteri se non si tende la mano al passato? Sono da annoverare tra le bravate sciocche e becere le scalate ai monumenti fatte per scommessa, i bagni nudi nelle fontane, lo spreco di energie per manifestare contro il pareggio ingiusto in un derby calcistico, un giro al centro commerciale la domenica con la famiglia, la derisione di un artista di strada, lo scherno verso una guida volontaria: questo è il peccato di chi ha colpe e nessun merito. Ci saranno sempre le primedonne, le prime ai vernissage, le prime in classifica, le prime volte, ma è necessario sbagliare ancora come "la prima volta"? Il rispetto è l'onore che si dà all'arte, omaggiandola sempre, ogni giorno, perché è quello a cui siamo chiamati ad essere perché, come disse il sommo poeta: "Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e conoscenza." (Inferno, XXVI - vv. 118-120) Massimiliano Sabbion www.maxiart.it
