| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Figured bass - Contemporary uses It is also sometimes used by classical musicians as a shorthand way of indicating chords (though it is not generally used in modern musical compositions). A form of figured bass is used in notation of accordion music. Today the most common use of figured bass notation is to indicate the inversion, however, often without the staff notation, using letter note names followed with the figure, for instance the bass note C in 64 figured bass would be written . The symbols can also be used with Roman numerals in analyzing functional harmony, a usage called ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Yodo-Dono - Concubine of Hideyoshi Lady Yodo became Hideyoshi's concubine and soon moved to Yodo Castle (from which she inherited her title). Hideyoshi's wife, Kita-no-Mandokoro (or Koudaiin), was unable to conceive, and thus Lady Yodo inherited many of her privileges. She had two sons with Hideyoshi, Tsurumatsu, who died young, and Hideyori born in 1593 who became the designated successor of Hideyoshi.
In 1594, the family moved to Fushimi Castle, but tragedy befell when Hideyoshi died in 1598 and the Toyotomi clan lost much of its influence and importance. Lady Yodo moved to Osaka Castle and with her son Hid ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Figured bass - Basso continuo Basso continuo parts, almost universal in the Baroque era (1600-1750), were, as the name implies, played continuously throughout a piece, providing the harmonic structure of the music. The word is often shortened to continuo, and the instrumentalists playing the continuo part, if more than one, are called the continuo group.
The makeup of the continuo group is often left to the discretion of the performers, and practice varied enormously within the Baroque period. At least one instrument capable of playing chords must be ...

He died in 1329 and was buried in Clermont-Ferrand. His great grandson Guillaume de La Tour became the Bishop of Rodez and the Catholic Patriarch of Antioch.

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - John Gell - Background He was born to Thomas Gell and Millicent Sacheverell. His father owned a large estate in the Wirksworth area, largely based on extensive interest in the lead industry, which included possession of the lead tithes in the mines of Bakewell, Hope and Tideswell. His father died shortly before the birth of a second son in 1594 and his mother married John Curzon, of Kedleston Hall, soon afterwards. Until his return to Hopton in 1620, Gell lived with his mother and step-father at Kedleston. This proved significant to his later political career as h ...

And her castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly into ruin. Rising over the buried dungeons in that god-forsaken wilderness, a solitary tower, like some monument to Evil, is all that remains."
The player is then sent on a quest to the aforementioned tower with the goal of killing the Countess. Doing so provides the player with gold and treasure. Although there is no direct reference to th ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Legends The following lists some of the best known legends about Elizabeth Báthory. Although some are partly based on statements made by those interrogated after 1610, their truthfulness cannot be verified.
Erzsébet Báthory - Torture.
While interrogating Turks, her husband employed a device of torture: articulated claw-like pincers of silver; which, when fastened to a whip, would tear and rip the flesh to such an obscene degree that he abandoned the a ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Collaborators A shadowy figure named Anna Darvulia, a suspected local witch that dabbled in black magic and satanic ritual, is rumoured to have influenced much of Elizabeth's early sadistic career, but apparently died before the major events of Elizabeth's reign of terror commenced.
Elizabeth's main collaborators after Anna's death were her maids

| | | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - English College Douai - Other English Colleges It should be recalled that there were on European Continent a number of seminaries or houses of study for the training of priests. Apart from Douai and Rome (from 1579), these included Valladolid (from 1589), Seville (from 1592) and Lisbon (from 1628). All these establishments were known typically as English Colleges. The one at Rheims during the years 1578-1593, was only the English College, Douai in exile.

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Fetus - Legal issues
Fetus - USA.
Since the 1970s in the United States, there has been continuing debate over the "personhood" of the fetus before birth, generally in the context of the argument over abortion, which is currently legal in the United States following the case of Roe v. Wade.
According to legislation which passed the US Senate in March 2004, an unborn child is defined as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb and who is injured or killed during the commission of a federal crime of violence..". (Unbor ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Felice Anerio - Works Anerio was a conservative composer, who largely used the style of Palestrina as a starting point, at least after his youthful period of writing secular works, such as madrigals and canzonettas, was done. Nevertheless he achieved an expressive intensity which was his own. Some influence of the Northern Italian progressive movements is evident, though muted, in his work, for instance the use of double choirs (polychoral works were the norm in Venice); quick homophonic declamatory textures; quick melodic passages in the bass line (which were an ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - English College Douai - Internal Disputes At the English College, disputes occurred between the seculars and regulars in the 17th century which reflected those that troubled English Catholic affairs in general. Dr. Worthington, though himself a secular priest, was under the influence of the Jesuit Father Parsons, and for a long time the students attended the Jesuit schools and all the spiritual direction was in the hands of the society. A visitation of the college, however, laid bare many shortcomings in ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Motives Her deviation might have had genetic reasons, because many of both her father’s and her mother’s ancestors were very brutal individuals (e. g. the Transylvanian ruler Sigismund Báthory who liked to have his retainers killed). Alternatively, it is believed that the Báthory family was inbred and that this may have helped cause various psychotic disorders that the family was known to have.
Only later legends say that she was killing the girls in order to bathe in their blood and, thus, ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Erzsébet Báthory - Guilt More than 300 people were interrogated before her death between 1611 and 1614. Despite several interventions by the Hungarian king, a regular trial never took place and the case remained open. The reason for this might have been that the palatine Thurzó did not want a trial against a member of the high gentry (with which he was reproached at the time). Moreover, Elizabeth’s nephew Gabriel Báthory was the ruler of Transylvania and Thurzó did not want to get into troubles with Transylvania. And finally, Thurzó’s properties were adjacent to those of Elizabeth a ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Dutch literature - The Nineteenth Century Against this backdrop, the most prominent writer was Willem Bilderdijk (1756–1831), a highly intellectual and intelligent but also eccentric man who lived a busy, eventful life, writing great quantities of verse. Bilderdijk had no time for the emerging new romantic style of poetry, but its fervour found its way into the Netherlands nevertheless, first of all in the person of Hiëronymus van Alphen (1746–1803), who today is best remembered for the verses he wrote for children. Van A ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Dutch literature - Decline 1670–1795 Unlike English literature, where the Augustan period and the Age of Enlightenment sustained the high level of the Jacobean age, eighteenth-century Dutch literature mainly saw tame, formalistic, ever-diminishing returns of Golden Age themes and forms. After the great division of the Low Countries into the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands formalised in the Peace of Westphalia (1648), "Dutch literature" almost exclusively meant "Republican literature", as the Dutch language fell into disfavour with the southern rulers. A notable excep ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Dutch literature - Renaissance and the Golden Age 1550–1670 Main article: Dutch Renaissance and Golden Age literature
The first ripples of the Reformation appeared in Dutch literature in a collection of Psalm translations printed at Antwerp in 1540 under the title of Souter-Liedekens ("Psalter Songs"). For the Protestant congregations, Jan Utenhove printed a volume of Psalms in 1566 and made the first attempt at a New Testament translation in Dutch. Very different in tone were the battle songs sung by the Reformers, the Gueux songs. The famous songbook of 1588, E ...

| | | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Earl of Derby - The Ferrers Creation "Ferrer" is Norman French and means "to bind with iron" or " to shoe a horse" (cf. farrier). Ferrières in Normandy, the hometown of the de Ferrers family, was an important centre for ironwork. The Ferrers coat of arms shows six black horseshoes on a silver background. They were descended from Henry de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Ferrières, Lord of Longueville, Normandy, and a Domesday Commissioner; he built Tutbury Castle and Duffield Castle and had larg ...
