It recounts the highs and lows of his war. From 1941 when, aged 21, he hunted the Hun over the English Channel and experienced the perils of aerial combat and the hazards of wartime romance. To 1943 when, living in a 'swamp that pretends to be an airstrip' south of Darwin, the Japanese flew over so infrequently he was in danger of going troppo. Allen was killed over Darwin at the end of the war. His diary offers a poignant insight into the human cost of armed conflict.Fighter pilotsAustraliaDiariesSpitfire (Fighter plane)World War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, AustralianWorld War, 1939-1945Aerial operations, AustralianElectronic books.Fighter pilotsSpitfire (Fighter plane)World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945Aerial operations, Australian.940.54/4994Mawer Granville Allen1919-1943.862646MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462037803321Diary of a Spitfire Pilot1925638UNINA01105nam 22003973 450 991013300220332119991228000000.088-420-5799-1(CKB)3400000000017225(ItFiC)it 02414609(EXLCZ)99340000000001722520101102d1999 uy 0itaDonne in viaggio viaggio religioso, politico, metaforico /a cura di Maria Luisa Silvestre, Adriana ValerioRoma [etc.] GLF editori Laterza1999xi, 266 p. ill. ;21 cmPercorsi ;4Collected essays.Includes bibliographical references.Donne in viaggio 910305938909270809320248Silvestre Maria Luisa1951-154847Valerio Adriana1952-154848ItFiCItFiCBOOK9910133002203321Donne in viaggio2868409UNINA06532 am 22006853u 450 991015356150332120161024011046.01-78374-236-42-8218-8397-81-78374-235-6(CKB)3710000000869542(EBL)4694636(MiAaPQ)EBC4694636(FrMaCLE)OB-obp-3269(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26848(PPN)20388955X(EXLCZ)99371000000086954220200114d2016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPiety in pieces how medieval readers customized their manuscripts /Kathryn M.

Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animals and plants), books were expensive and built to last. They usually outlived their owners. Rather than discard them when they were superseded, book owners found ways to update, amend and upcycle books or book parts. These activities accelerated in the fifteenth century. Most manuscripts made before 1390 were bespoke and made for a particular client, but those made after 1390 (especially books of hours) were increasingly made for an open market, in which the producer was not in direct contact with the buyer. Increased efficiency led to more generic products, which owners were motivated to personalise. It also led to more blank parchment in the book, for example, the backs of inserted miniatures and the blanks ends of textual components. Book buyers of the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth century still held onto the old connotations of manuscripts-that they were custom-made luxury items-even when the production had become impersonal. Owners consequently purchased books made for an open market and then personalised them, filling in the blank spaces, and even adding more components later. This would give them an affordable product, but one that still smacked of luxury and met their individual needs. They kept older books in circulation by amending them, attached items to generic books to make them more relevant and valuable, and added new prayers with escalating indulgences as the culture of salvation shifted. Rudy considers ways in which book owners adjusted the contents of their books from the simplest (add a marginal note, sew in a curtain) to the most complex (take the book apart, embellish the components with painted decoration, add more quires of…Civilization, MedievalCodicologyHistoryTo 1500book personalisationmedieval manuscriptscodicologyreligionmaterial culture of the bookcustomizationdevotionalBook of hoursDelftNetherlandsParchmentRoyal Library of the NetherlandsScribeUnits of paper quantityCivilization, Medieval.CodicologyHistory940.1Rudy Kathryn M.940624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910153561503321Piety in pieces2280862UNINA
