Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli or Il Botticello ("The Little Barrel"; c. 1445 – May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance (Quattrocento). Less than a hundred years later, this movement, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a "golden age", a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. His posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting, and The Birth of Venus and Primavera rank now among the most familiar masterpieces of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In typography, a sans-serif or sans serif typeface is one that does not have the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The term comes from the Latin word sans, meaning "without". In print, sans-serif fonts are more typically used for headlines than for body text. The conventional wisdom holds that serifs help guide the eye along the lines in large blocks of text. Sans-serifs, however, have acquired considerable acceptance for body text in Europe.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Indian drama as a distinct genre of Sanskrit literature emerges in the final centuries BC, although its origins date back to the Rigvedic dialogue hymns of the late 2nd millenium BC. Famous Sanskrit dramatists include Shudraka, Bhasa, Asvaghosa and Kalidasa. Though numerous plays written by these playwrights are still available, little is known about the authors themselves. The Yama-Yami episode and other Rigvedic dialogue hymns (late 2nd millenium BC) present one of the earliest forms of dramatic dialogue in literature, and can be argued to be an early precursor of Sanskrit drama. The nature of the plays ranged...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sari or saree or shari is a female garment in the Indian Subcontinent.

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht Klangbeschreibungen hinsichtlich ihres fachsprachlichen wie metaphorischen Gehaltes. Basis ist eine Zusammenstellung, Systematisierung und Analyse des vielfaltigen Vokabulars zur Beschreibung von Klangen in ausgeahlten zeitgenossischen Musikfachzeitschriften. Anhand von Testberichten zu Instrumenten wie E-Gitarre, Bass und Schlagzeug sowie dazugehoriger Technik wird nachgewiesen, dass das sprachliche Korpus zur Klangbeschreibung aus einem begrenzten Fundus bildspendender Felder gespeist wird. Die Entlehnung vieler Korpusbelege aus der Alltagssprache erfordert zudem eine Eruierung ihres fachsprachlichen Gehaltes, d.h. es wird untersucht, ob sie im musikalischen Kontext eine Bedeutungsveranderung erfahren....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sawing a woman in half is a generic name for a number of different stage magic tricks in which a person (traditionally a female assistant) is apparently sawn or divided into two or more pieces. There remains a debate about the origin of sawing illusions, with some sources saying a magician named Torrini may have performed the first version in front of Pope Pius VII in 1809. However it is more likely that the story is a fiction which has its roots in the writings of the famous French magician Jean Robert-Houdin. In his Memoirs, written in 1858, Robert-Houdin described a sawing illusion performed by a magician named Torrini. Modern magic inventor and historian Jim Steinmeyer has concluded that...

Scalpelling is a body art procedure similar to body piercing for the creation of decorative perforations through the skin and other body tissue, and is most commonly used as a replacement for or enhancement of ear piercing. Whereas piercing is typically performed with a hollow piercing needle or an ear piercing instrument, scalpelling is performed with a scalpel and can immediately produce holes with a larger diameter than can be achieved by piercing. This is a more rapid means of accommodating larger gauge jewellery than stretching, a technique whereby piercings are gradually enlarged by placing relatively bigger jewellery or spacers in them.
