This book contains three 16th century Austrian tailors' guild masterbook manuscripts, or schnittbuch. These manuscripts were created by authors in three separate towns for a similar purpose: to help journeyman tailors study and pass the master tailor exam. The original manuscripts have been transcribed and translated into English. To assist the modern reader, additional information has been included to explain the historical context of the manuscripts and the included garments. Also included are: pattern diagrams, detailed descriptions of the cut and style, illustrations and painting depicting the garments, and similar extant museum items when possible

The paper deals with the Prloš mine, which was located in the area of modern day mine Lece. Around the mine, which was administratively a part of the nâhiye of Dubočica or Kruševac Sancak, a workers' hâss was formed and in addition the mine was given the status of an independent mukâta'a, which indicates that the Prloš was worthy of attention and investment for the Ottoman administration. The mine was under the financial control of the Belgrade Supervisory Authority (nezâret). Special attention was paid to the position of the mine itself, as well as leases, who were the tenants, what were the amounts of lease and how much the lease lasted. The paper is based on new and previously unused sources of Ottoman provenance.

Early in May 2000, the Mediterranean gave up another of its jealously kept treasures. While pleasure diving off Malta's southern coast, Michael Spiteri, a technical staff member of the Museums Department Archaeology Section discovered a rare and unusual gun. Lying there on the seabed was a sixteenth century, breechloading swivel-gun. Seafarers of various nations used small swivel-guns of this type extensively on ships, for many centuries. However, not that many have survived and at the time it was found, this was the first officially recorded discovery in Maltese waters of an early, breech-loading gun. Certainly not as sensational as the Riace Bronzes, this fascinating relic is nonetheless of considerable importance even by international standards. ; peer-reviewed
