Pious ecclesiastical and school songs of the ancient bishops is a collection of late medieval Latin songs first published in 1582. It was compiled by Jacobus Finno, a clergyman who was headmaster of the cathedral school at Turku.
The collection Piae Cantiones was published in Greifswald, duchy of Pomerania, Germany, and includes 74 Latin and Swedish/Latin songs that were sung at the time in Finnish cathedral schools, most notably in the cathedral school at Turku. Most of them are religious in nature but some, for example Tempus adest floridum, are secular school songs.
In 1853 the British ambassador to Sweden, G. J. R. Gordon, returned to Britain with a copy of the 1582 edition, which he presented to John Mason Neale, well known for his interest in early music.

" Here is the Stillness, which is not still even on a good day.
Now it ripples, reverberates, in cataclysm. Now there is a line, roughly east-west and too straight, almost neat in its manifest unnaturalness, spanning the girth of the land’s equator.
..The truth is benath the surface, a leviathan waiting to uncurl, but the waters of his thoughts are placid for now. Denial is powerful.
In those memories I was someone else, just as the Stillness was someworld else. Then, and now. You, and you.
Then. This land, then, was three lands – though these are in virtually the same position as what will someday be called the Stillness. "
THE STILLNESS IS OVERWHELMING with the belligerence of volcanic plume to a height of 45,000 ft after 12,000 years of innocuous existence and pristine appearance throughout the Holocene period.

EARLY HALLOWEEN LITERATURE
HISTORY OF INFINITY SYMBOL
Book reviews is a genre in itself. Sadly, many authors expect their readers to leave a book review which is in fact a customer review and not a book review. Book reviews have a legacy to cherish and needs to be cultivated further for the upkeep of a vibrant literature.
The history of book reviews traces back to antiquity, with early forms appearing in ancient summaries and discussions of texts, and evolving into dedicated publications with the first major journals like the French Journal des Sçavans in 1665 and later English publications like The Monthly Review in 1749. These publications grew in importance, particularly with the rise of the printing press and expanded literacy, eventually becoming a standard part of the literary world to inform readers, guide authors, and serve as a record of intellectual and cultural history.
