Liber iuratus Honorii : a critical edition of the Latin version of the Sworn book of Honorius
- 2002
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Liber iuratus Honorii, or the Sworn Book of Honorius, as it is often called, has been the focus of a steadily growing interest ever since the occult revival in the late 19th century. This exponent of pseudo-Solomonic magic has been mentioned from time to time in the literature on magic up to the present day. Unfortunately, scholars have hitherto had to rely far too much upon a poor edition of a partial English translation of this work, which is, in fact, originally in Latin. The contents of the book include complex magic rituals, a list of one hundred names of God, presentations of angels, spirits, and demons of diverse orders, instructions on how to prepare and use magic seals and circles etc.The present work is the editio princeps of the Latin text, and it is accompanied by an index of so-called voces mysticae and of divine, angelic, and demonic names. Furthermore, a partial edition of the Ars Notoria text Flores aurei Apollonii, which has turned out to be one of the sources of the Liber iuratus Honorii, is appended.The introduction includes a description of the manuscript tradition, a discussion of the date and attribution of the text and of its relation to other texts within the same genre, an analysis of its contents and structure, and a description of how the rituals contained in the book were performed. One of the conclusions reached is that the three extant Latin manuscripts represent a closed recension which can be described in stemmatic form, and that even other witnesses to the text can be fitted into this tradition. It is further proved that the Flores aurei Apollonii is one of the major sources of the Liber iuratus Honorii.

Basic and Applied Research : Application of Disciplinary Theory and Methods in the Field of Leisure Studies

- Leisure studies is an applied field that draws on theory and methods developed in conventional academic disciplines. This paper illustrates the ways in which theory and methods developed in several academic disciplines (sociology, economics, computer science, and statistics) can be employed to help resolve an applied problem (carrying capacity of parks and related areas) in leisure studies. Application of disciplinary theory and methods to leisure studies raises several issues. These include the inherently interdisciplinary nature of leisure studies and the resulting need for applied academic units addressing leisure and related issues, adequate representation of all relevant academic disciplines, the most appropriate educational track for faculty/scholars in leisure studies, and the potential evolution of leisure studies from an applied field to an academic discipline.

Methodological Issues in Measuring Crowding-Related Norms in Outdoor Recreation
- 2002

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on theoretical and methodological similarities between research on recreation- related norms and contingent valuation, three methodological issues—question format, starting point bias, and information bias—are explored as they apply to measuring crowding-related norms of visitors to two national parks. Few statistically or substantively signiŽ cant differencesin crowding-related norms were found to be associated with these methodological issues. Study Ž ndings suggest that measures of crowding-related norms may be relatively “robust,” and this may add weight to the “validity” of the theory and methods associated with crowding-related norms in outdoor recreation.
