Summary By the late thirteenth century Norgesveldet the Norwegian realm stretched far beyond its core in western Scandinavia. At its height in 1264 Norgesveldet connected Norse speakers in tributary territories ranging from the Irish Sea to Orkney and across the Atlantic to the Faroes Iceland and Greenland. But what held this disparate realm together What were the dynamics of power between the men and women of the governing and elite classes of Norgesveldet And what roles did different bodies play at different levels of society in creating and maintaining these networks from kings and bishops to scribes and scholars traders and law-makers This volume aims to expand on and further recent important research into connections between Norway and the wider Norse North Atlantic from the eleventh century during which the Norwegian kingdom began to emerge through to the fourteenth-century decline of Norgesveldet with the creation of the Kalmar Union. Each chapter addresses a different facet of the Norgesveldet networks building a complex picture of both their function and their evolving nature. Taking as its inspiration the research and career of its honorand Jón Viðar Sigurðsson the volume explores medieval Norway and its wider connections using three key frameworks sociopolitical networks legal and material networks and literary networks with the aim of shedding new light on the people and processes of this North Atlantic polity.

Researches into the structure of the spinal cord. - Second Series.

1867rif. 688371867. Phil. Trans. 158. - London 1867 4° pp.263-331 2 text illustrations and 7 plartes with 65 Figs. fine card board binding. Extract from Philosophical Transactions 1868! Paper received May 1 - Read May 23 1867. "Abstracts of a considerable portion of this paper have been already published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society for June 18 1857 and June 20 1861 under the title of "Notes of Researches on the Intimate Structure of the Brain." After adding several new facts and giving further explanations on the subject of the medulla oblongata the author gives a full description of the morphological changes by which the auditory and other centres are developed out of elements of the spinal cord. The auditory centres consist of an outer and an inner nucleus. The outer nucleus is developed from the grey substance of the posterior pyramid and restiform body of the medulla. The inner nucleus arises between the posterior pyramid and the nucleus of the eighth cerebral nerve. From both these nuclei the posterior division of the auditory nerve takes its origin. The anterior division consists of two portions. The principal portion penetrates the medulla beneath the restiform body and running along the outer side of the caput cornu or grey tubercle enters both the outer and inner nucleus. The other portion of the nerve runs backward along the upper border of the restiform body which it accompanies over the superior peduncle of the cerebellum to the inferior vermiform process. The outer auditory nucleus consisting of the grey substance of the posterior pyramid and restiform body is ultimately thrown backward into the cerebellum part of it arching over the fourth ventricle to the opposite side while the rest extends outward to the corpus dentatum of the cerebellum." Abstract - Proc. R. Soc. Lond.15 1867: pp.509-510 Lockhart Clarke 1817-1880 English neurologist carried on detailed investigations on the anatomy and histology of the central nervous system. "Clarke's investigations carried out with great skill and characterized by extreme thoroughness were illustrated with excellent drawings from his own hand. He is best known for his researches on the spinal cord especially those establishing the presence of the nucleus dorsalis . column of Clarke . . . Several of his most important publications on anatomy are to be found in the Philosophical Transactions of the Society of London from 1851 to 1868." Haymaker The Founders of Neurology pp.18-21.
