The Sibyllene Prophecies. Arising from ancient legends, a Sibyl was a divinely inspired woman who revealed prophecies in poetic form, relating to Pagan, Jewish and Christian traditions. The Sibyl are associated with the holy sites at which their predictions were made, such as Persian Sibyl, Cimmerian Sibyl, Delphic Sibyl, Tiburtine Sibyl etc. They first appear in the written record in about 500BC and their official numbers expanded over time, somewhat stabilising in the literature at ten by the 4th century AD and at about twelve during the Middle Ages. As with Nostradamus, the Sibylline prophecies were open to interpretation and successive empires, religions and doctrines adapted the forecasts to serve their own ends. The sample images above come from a small manuscript that presents a miniature of each Sibyl with a snatch of Latin verse and the corresponding episode from the life of Christ that was said to have been predicted.

We thought we were getting a globe as pictured in the description. What we received was a globe that had much darker solid colored and reddish legs and swing arm. The picture of the globe matches perfectly which tells me this is either a different product or is what intentionally photo shopped to be more appealing.
The decals that make the globe don't align well in various places and there is an odd dotted line that splits the globe, which is also hidden in the picture. When open, the inner graphics are pitted around the entire interior surface of the upper half of the globe. Bottom line is that it looks a bit "cheaper" in person and up close only gets worse. It's not worth sending back and we like everything else about the product.
Seems a shame a little more attention to detail can't be paid to this product and just get it right vs giving it the glamour shots treatment. The Creators Project | Li Hui. The Creators Project: What was your first foray into industrial design? Li Hui: I'd learned arts since I was in the elementary school. I like to draw. When I was in senior high school, I attended fashion design school. In college I decided to change my field and chose sculpture as my major. The process of learning art was not really going well at that time, but I was still fulfilling my dream. Why did you change from fashion design to sculpture? Actually I wasn't interested in fashion designing at the beginning. So really this has been a lifelong pursuit. Do you have any interest at this point in venturing outside of sculpture?
Not really. Was college a fruitful time for you? Actually when I was in college, I produced work that I was satisfied with every year. What did you do after graduating college? I was lucky to get into this industry immediately. Can you tell us a bit about your interest in cars? How did you bring technical parts into your works? No, not at all. How do choose materials?

The fourth in a series of online collections from Harvard University, Expeditions and Discoveries delivers maps, photographs, and published materials, as well as field notes, letters, and a unique range of manuscript materials on selected expeditions between 1626 and 1953.
The collection is made possible with the generous support of the Arcadia Fund. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Harvard University played a significant role—as underwriter, participant, collector, and repository—for pace-setting expeditions around the world. For Internet users, Expeditions and Discoveries provides selective access to Harvard’s multidisciplinary records of those expeditions. Created by the Harvard University Library’s Open Collections Program, Expeditions and Discoveries offers important—often unique—historical resources for students of anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, botany, geography, geology, medicine, oceanography, and zoology.

Acknowledgments: I would like to thank Nicolas Pioch for his excellent work on Le WEBLouvre where many of these images have been maintained. In addition to providing an excellent collection of art images that I have used extensively, he has been very helpful in tracking down specific pieces and genres to help illustrate certain points that I have discussed in these pages. I also wish to thank Efthimios Mavrogeorgiadis and Dave Vezie for their development of the Orthodox page with its collection of icons that I used for the section on how icons represent depth.
Lastly, but in no way the least, I wish to acknowledge Margaret Krantz for her invaluable help as proofreader, editor, and critic of the efforts here.
