# Francesca Ferretti

**Francesca Ferretti** (born 15 February 1984 in Reggio Emilia) is an Italian professional volleyball player who plays as a setter. As a member of the Italy women's national volleyball team she played in many international competitions (Olympic Games, FIVB World Championship, FIVB World Cup, FIVB World Grand Prix, European Championships) and is a World Cup and European Championship winner. At club level she plays for Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena and has won national and international competitions with the clubs she played for.

## Career

Ferretti started playing volleyball at Giovolley Reggio Emilia youth teams and at the age of fourteen made her debut for the first team in the Serie B2. In 2000, she moved to Club Italia and became involved in the Italian national youth teams between 2000 and 2001, finishing second at the 2000 Women's Junior European Volleyball Championship and winning the 2001 Girls' Youth European Volleyball Championship.

After one season at Club Italia, she moved to Despar Colussi Perugia and made her debut in the Serie A1 in 2001. For the following season she signed with BigMat Chieri in September 2002, winning the 2002–03 Serie A2 championship (and promotion to Serie A1) and reaching the finals of the Serie A2 Italian Cup with the club.

On 28 May 2003, she made her debut for the senior Italian national team in a 3–2 victory against Cuba played in Ancona. A few months later she signed with Volley Modena, coached by Giovanni Guidetti, ahead of the 2003–04 season. She reached the Serie A1 playoffs semifinals during that first season at the club.

Following her good performances, she was called to the national team and was part of the 2004 campaign, which included a gold medal at the Montreux Volley Masters, a silver medal at the World Grand Prix and a fifth-place finish at the Olympic Games in Athens.

Her second season at Volley Modena was very different, the club struggled and at the end of the 2004–05 season was relegated to the Serie A2. With the national team she won a bronze medal at the 2005 Montreux Volley Masters and a silver medal at the 2005 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix.

Later in 2005, Ferretti returned to BigMat Chieri under the coaching of Giovanni Guidetti, but during a Serie A1 match against Asystel Novara on 30 October 2005, she injured her right knee. Further exams confirmed she suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and on 30 November 2005, she had a successful surgery which included the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and medial meniscus replacement of her right knee. She spent 8 months recovering and missed the remaining of the 2005–06 season.

Back for the 2006–07 season, her club performances helped BigMat Chieri finish sixth and reach the Serie A1 playoffs. After the end of the season, on 12 June 2007, she signed with Scavolini Pesaro before joining the national team which won both the 2007 Women's European Volleyball Championship and the 2007 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup.

Scavolini Pesaro was under the management and coaching of the experienced and successful José Roberto Guimarães and his staff at the time. She developed technically and alongside her teammates became a strong and very competitive team. In her first season at the club (2007–08), she won the CEV Cup, reached the final of the Italian Cup, and won the Serie A1 title. She then joined the national team to finish third at the 2008 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix and fifth at the Olympic Games in Beijing.

The 2008–09 season was even more successful, she won the 2008 Italian Supercup, the Italian Cup and for the second consecutive year, the Serie A1. In 2009–10, she won her second consecutive Italian Supercup, reached the semifinals of the Italian Cup and won her third consecutive Serie A1. She won the Italian Supercup for a third consecutive year in 2010 and finished fourth at the 2010–11 Champions League.

In May 2012 she signed with Rebecchi Nordmeccanica Piacenza. In her first season at the club she won the 2012–13 double (Serie A1 and Italian Cup) and reached the finals of the CEV Challenge Cup. The 2013–14 season, her second at the club, was also very successful as she won the treble (Supercup, Cup and Serie A1). That meant she had won 13 domestic titles (five Serie A1, four Cups and four Supercups) in the last 7 seasons.

In May 2014, she agreed on a year contract to play for Rabita Baku of the Azerbaijani Super League. On 16 August 2014, while playing for the national team at the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix match against Germany, she had a right knee injury. On 19 August 2014, she had a successful surgery to remove meniscus damaged fragments on her right knee. She recovered in time to play the 2014 World Championship, which Italy was fourth place after losing 2-3 to Brazil in the bronze medal match.

In the 2014–15 season, her new club, Rabita Baku was competing in the Super League and the Champions League. Ferretti started the season in both competitions, but a Champions League group stage defeat to Chemik Police which eliminated the club from the tournament in late January 2015, lead to uncertainty at the club due to its finances and on 5 February 2015 her contract with the club was terminated by mutual agreement.

In late February 2015, she signed with Liu Jo Modena for the remaining of the 2014–15 season and made her debut for the club in the semifinal of the Italian Cup on 28 February 2015. She reached the Italian Cup final, but the club was defeated by Igor Gorgonzola Novara. She signed a two-year contract to remain at the club before the start of the 2015–16 season.

On 19 May 2016, when Liu Jo Modena ceased its volleyball activities and joined Nordmeccanica Piacenza, she became a Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena player.

## Personal life

She comes from a family with volleyball tradition, her father is an instructor and former player, her mother is a former player and her brother is also a player.

In 2008, the authorized biography book *Un angelo biondo - Francy Ferretti* (A blond angel - Francy Ferretti) by Camilla Cataldo was published in Italy.

title: Francesco Patrizi (bishop)

abstract: Francesco Patrizi of Siena (1413–1494) was the most important political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance before the generation of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) and Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540). He was the principal exponent of the humanist tradition of ‘virtue politics.’ He was the first Western political philosopher since antiquity to devote sustained attention to the question of how a republic devoted to liberty and equality could uphold meritocratic principles in government—how it could ensure that its rulers and political class generally were public-spirited, well-educated men of virtue and wisdom. He was the first political philosopher since Aristotle to devote sustained attention to citizenship, and the first to explore the potential of a planned urban environment to shape civic values and facilitate a free way of life. He was also the pioneer of a new ‘historico-prudential’ approach to political thought that applied the study of the humanities, above all history, to the reform of republican and royal institutions. He acted as governor of Foligno, then in the Papal States, for several years from 1461. Pius II, who was a personal friend, appointed him bishop of Gaeta in the same year.

# Francesco Patrizi (bishop)

**Francesco Patrizi of Siena** (**Franciscus Patricius Senensis**) (1413–1494) was the most important political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance before the generation of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) and Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540). He was the principal exponent of the humanist tradition of ‘virtue politics.’ He was the first Western political philosopher since antiquity to devote sustained attention to the question of how a republic devoted to liberty and equality could uphold meritocratic principles in government—how it could ensure that its rulers and political class generally were public-spirited, well-educated men of virtue and wisdom.

He was also the pioneer of a new ‘historico-prudential’ approach to political thought that applied the study of the humanities, above all history, to the reform of republican and royal institutions.

He acted as governor of Foligno, then in the Papal States, for several years from 1461. Pius II, who was a personal friend, appointed him bishop of Gaeta in the same year.

## Significance

Though almost unknown today, Patrizi’s influence in the later Renaissance, as shown by the printing history of his works, was enormous. In the sixteenth century his political writings were published more often than either More’s *Utopia* or Erasmus’ *Education of a Christian Prince*. Printings of Machiavelli’s three great political treatises—*The Prince*, the *Discourses*, and *The Art of War*—slightly outnumbered the printings of Patrizi’s two major works, *How to Found a Republic* and *On Kingship.* But on the evidence of their printing history, Patrizi was arguably more influential among the more highly educated. Editions of Machiavelli were mostly in Italian, a European language of culture by the later sixteenth century, but Patrizi’s works were far better known in Latin, the international language of scholarship. They were also translated into Italian, French, Spanish and German, and epitomes of his works circulated in Latin, French, and English.

One reason for Patrizi’s popularity was his extraordinary learning. Patrizi was the first political theorist in European history to have access to almost the entire corpus of ancient Greek political thought and history we possess today. A highly accomplished Hellenist himself, he was able to study and synthesize the newly available Greek literature that was rapidly filling the shelves of Italian libraries during the quattrocento, both in the original and in new Latin translations made by his fellow humanists. Medieval scholastics had been able to study Aristotle’s Politics after the Dominican friar William of Moerbeke translated it into Latin around 1260, and the encounter with Aristotle made a deep impression on theorists from Thomas Aquinas to Marsilius of Padua. But the translation movement of the Renaissance vastly extended the Latin West’s access to the heritage of ancient Greece. The medievals had not possessed any of the political works of Plato, Xenophon, Isocrates, Polybius, Dio Chrysostom, or Plutarch. They had no access to the political history of the Greeks written by Herodotus, Thucydides, or Xenophon, or to the Greek historians of the Roman Empire such as Polybius, Appian, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Diodorus Siculus, and Arrian. Patrizi read and excerpted all these authors, and many other Greek and Latin writers as well.

## Ideas

One conviction Patrizi took from his Greek authorities, fundamental to virtue politics, was that political institutions could not function well unless the princes and magistrates who inhabited them were well educated men of good character and practical wisdom. ‘The man who cannot govern himself cannot govern others’ was a favorite classical adage with him as with other humanists. Unlike some other humanists, however, Patrizi did not adopt the view, common in his day, that institutions were irrelevant so long as rulers were virtuous. Patrizi recognized the superficiality of this view. He posed the question how institutions could be designed to promote virtue among rulers and to protect the organs of the republic from wounds inflicted by ignorant, greedy and power-hungry persons. He devised a mode of public deliberation that privileged the voices of the best citizens. He proposed as his optimus status reipublicae, or best possible republic, a mixed constitution led by aristocrats, though his necessary condition for membership in the aristocracy was not high birth but good character and humane learning. He was nevertheless aware of the claims all good citizens have to participate in their own government and understood, like Aristotle, that broader participation by citizens in their government reinforces political stability.

Citizens could not participate in government without some education. By a natural process of thought Patrizi became the first author in European history to advocate universal literacy among the citizen class as well as public funding for teachers of the liberal arts. In the *De republica* he outlines a detailed curriculum designed to foster virtue in citizen-rulers. Patrizi went so far as to say that no one should be considered a citizen who did not possess basic literacy. He was in fact the first political thinker since Aristotle to devote sustained attention to the concept of citizenship in both its republican and royal varieties. To provide equal justice for all citizens, the best republic had to be built on the rule of law: the law must always stand above and limit the will of magistrates. The principles of law, however, were to be drawn from nature and tradition—above all, the tradition of Roman law—and not from revelation. Religious law was its own distinct system and should be administered by priests, not enforced by the state. Patrizi calls for reformation of the legal system to protect it from the influence of wealth; hence both prosecutors and defense attorneys should work for honor alone or be paid by the state. He did not propose an independent judiciary but relied on an elaborate system of appeal to prevent corruption.

Like other humanists, Patrizi advocated a moral economy, one in which the pursuit of mercantile profit was to be subordinated to the needs of family and community. The moral economy, Patrizi thought, could be achieved by educating merchants and bankers in the virtues of frugality and generosity and teaching them to avoid greed and luxury. The republic could help by building strong civic norms of acceptable behavior. Among these norms Patrizi emphasizes the importance of work for all citizens and the avoidance of idleness. No one should live entirely on rents or devote himself wholly to pleasure. Patrizi defends private property but says it must be limited; and the rich should be prevented from taking advantage of the poor. Patrizi proposed a scheme of agrarian reform whereby state lands would be leased on a long-term basis to the rural poor in order to prevent them from falling under the power of wealthy landowners. According to the Sienese philosopher, the income from its land leases would give the state financial independence and allow it to keep taxes low and avoid reliance on forced loans from the rich, a method of finance that always undermined the independence of magistrates.

A true representative of the larger Renaissance movement, Patrizi was also an advocate of the ‘virtuous environment.’ Following the lead of Leon Batttista Alberti and of his patron, Pope Pius II, Patrizi was the first political theorist to explore the potential of urban planning to shape civic values and to facilitate a free way of life. Drawing on the expertise of architects and on classical antiquity for inspiration, magistrates and founders of new cities should make their cities strong and beautiful. Public and private spaces should remind citizens of their glorious Roman ancestors. The fine arts were to be cultivated with a view to encouraging virtue, piety, and love of country. The city should also encourage the study of poetry, oratory, history and philosophy to ennoble the minds of its citizens.

## Biography

Francesco Patrizi’s political experience was extensive and varied. He was born into the most important hereditary bloc of political families in his native city of Siena, the *Nove*, which remained the dominant force in Sienese politics for most of his lifetime. He held numerous offices in the Sienese republic, including the priorate – the republic’s governing body – and other executive posts in the city’s territories. He headed at least six major ambassadorial missions in the decade before the coup (1457) that led to his exile. He also enjoyed a prominent social position in the city. He married, had four children, and maintained a large household with an urban palazzo and rural properties. He was a professor of literature in Siena’s public *Studio* (or university) and private tutor to Achille Petrucci, offspring of the city’s most important political family of the quattrocento and a future civic leader. After his exile from Siena in 1457, Patrizi supported himself briefly as private tutor to the son of the Milanese ambassador, and in that capacity met leading statesmen and princes from Tuscany and northern Italy. When his friend Enea Silvio Piccolomini became Pope Pius II in September 1458, Patrizi took holy orders and was made the Bishop of Gaeta (1461). Soon thereafter, Pius appointed him governor of Foligno and its territories, a key post in the Papal State. After Pius’ death in 1464, his position in Foligno became untenable owing to a popular uprising, and he retired to administer his diocese in Gaeta, a port city in the Kingdom of Naples. The Kingdom was ruled by Ferdinand I of Naples (known as Ferrante), the most powerful monarch of the peninsula. In Gaeta Patrizi finished his two major political treatises, *De institutione reipublicae* (finished 1471/72) and *De regno et regis institutione* (1483/84). His life in that small city was mostly a retired one, but even so he was called upon to advise the heir to the throne, Alfonso of Calabria, and to represent the Kingdom as the Aragonese *orator* (or ambassador) on two major public occasions, the marriage of Alfonso with Ippolita Maria Sforza in Milan (1465), and the ceremonies for the coronation of Pope Innocent VIII (1484).

## Works

### Political Treatises

*De institutione reipublicae,* datable to 1461/71, although the presumed dedication copy is dated 1479. 9 books on the ideal structure and institutions of a republic, including considerations of the ideas of other thinkers, history, and common wisdom. *De regno et regis institutione*, datable to 1481/84. 9 books of his ideas on kingship and monarchy, which also discuss previous scholars’ work as well as history and general knowledge.

### Latin Poetry

*Poematum libri IV.* A collection of 41 poems in various meters, composed in Patrizi’s early career and scribally published in 1461 with a dedication to Pope Pius II. The only one to become well known was 2.2, “De Christi Natali,” which survives in at least eighteen copies and was printed in Padua in 1482. In some manuscripts it was attributed falsely to Francesco Filelfo or Tommaso Schifaldo, a student of Patrizi.

Epigrammaton liber. A collection of 345 epigrams of varying lengths, composed by Patrizi in the latter part of his career and apparently left unpublished at his death.

### Grammatical works

*De metris Horatii* (1441-1444?). A treatise on Horatian meters, surviving in two manuscripts.

Epitome of Quintilian’s *Institutes.* Written probably between 1457 and 1460, and dedicated to Patrizi’s pupil, Francesco Tranchedini.

Epitome of Priscian’s *Institutes of Grammar.* Probably written between 1457 and 1460. *Commentary on* Petrarch’s *Canzoniere*. The work was commissioned by Patrizi’s patron, Alfonso, duke of Calabria in 1476 or 1477. It is the only surviving work of Patrizi written in the vernacular, apart from a small number of letters.

### Speeches

*Oratio de laudibus philosophiae*, composed for the inauguration of the school year in Siena, 1426.

*Oratio ad Hippolytam Mariam Sfortiam*. Also called *De maritalis coniugii dignitate oratio* or *De matrimonio*. Delivered in Milan before Duke Francesco Sforza for the wedding of his daught Ippolita Maria to Alfonso, duke of Calabria in May, 1465. *Oratio ad* *Innocentium VIII.* Oration on behalf of King Ferrante of Naples to celebrate the crowning of Innocent VII as pope, 29 December 1484.

### Historical works

*De origine et antiquitate urbis Senae.* The date of composition is uncertain, but it probably falls after 1460.

### Letters

*Letters*. De Capua divides the surviving letters into two groups: (a) the Foligno Corpus (173 letters), written while Patrizi was the governor of Foligno; and (b) the *Lettere sparse* or scattered letters (63 letters, to and from Patrizi), collected from various manuscript sources by De Capua. *De magistratu gerendo.* A letter-treatise directed to Achille Petrucci, written about 1445.

# Theophilus Opoku

**Theophilus Herman Kofi Opoku** (1842 – 7 July 1913) was a native Akan linguist, translator, philologist, educator and missionary who became the first indigenous African to be ordained a pastor on Gold Coast soil by the Basel Mission in 1872. Opoku worked closely with the German missionary and philologist Johann Gottlieb Christaller as well as fellow native Akan linguists, David Asante, Jonathan Palmer Bekoe, and Paul Staudt Keteku in the translation of the Bible into the Twi language.

## Early life and education

Theophilus Opoku was born in 1842 at Akropong in Akuapem, about 48 km (30 miles) north of Accra. He was the son of Nana Yaw Darko, the linguist of the paramount chief and Nana Akua Korantema. Yaw Darko was a practitioner of the Akan traditional religion and died when Theophilus was young. Opoku's grandfather was the paramount chief of Akropong, Omanhene, Nana Addo Dankwa. His fellow linguist, David Asante was his cousin. During his childhood, he was often weak and frail. While playing outside his home one day, Opoku broke his leg and suffered multiple fractures and had to be taken to a bone-setter at Larteh for treatment. His health improved over time. Opoku decided to attend school and become a missionary. In 1851, he entered primary school at Akropong where his teachers his intellect became evident. He also became the houseboy of the Basel missionary, the Rev. J. Mader in 1852 and moved in with him. Opoku considered household chores to be demeaning and detested all forms of corporal punishment which was commonplace at the time. Pietist discipline and organisation was a hallmark of the Basel mission educational experience. In his view, only indentured labourers and domestic slaves deserved that kind of punishment. He was eventually baptised on 6 January 1856. He enrolled in the Basel Mission Seminary at Akropong in 1858 where he learnt Greek, Hebrew, Latin, dogmatics, homiletics, theology and pedagogy in the rigorous programme. He was diagnosed with a heart-related ailment and his health rapidly deteriorated thereafter. He was sent to a native herbalist or shaman at Adenya, a village near Akropong for a year-and-a-half and went back intermittently for further treatment. As part of his treatment, the herbalist apparently forbade him from drinking water for five months. Despite improvement in his condition, Opoku was forced him to abandon his studies as a result of the affliction.

## Missionary activities and Christian ministry

After leaving the seminary halfway through his studies, he became a pupil teacher at Mamfe near Akropong. His heart condition interrupted his work and he was assigned to a less strenuous role as a catechist at Larteh, south of Akropong. He found out at Larteh that the locals were vehemently opposed to Christianity and wanted a European missionary stationed there instead of an Akropong native due to the socio-political environment at the time. Thus, he returned to his hometown of Akropong. He was forcibly bound to palm fronds and taken to the porch of the Basel missionary, Johann G. Widmann. However, he was soon back at Larteh to support and run the operations of the mission there. This time, the people of Larteh were more receptive to the mission. According to historical accounts, he correctly predicted that a thunderstorm could lead to the fall of a silk cotton tree, *"onyaa"* near the shrine of the fetish priest at Akonedi in Larteh. The fetish priest rebuffed Opoku, stating that the tree had been there for centuries and never killed his ancestors. This event happened as foretold by Opoku and the fetish priest was killed. The people came to regard him as a “seer” and converted en masse to Christianity leading to the flourishing of his ministry.

In 1868, while Opoku was in the Akuapem district as a catechist, two Christian converts killed an animal species, considered the “spiritual child” of the local divinity of *“Topere.”* This escalated to a dispute which could not be resolved in the royal court. Opoku refused to pay any fines, asserting the authority of Christianity and God and stating that the idols could punish perpetrators on their own without any human intervention. Infuriated by his utterances, traditional authorities prohibited Christians from using the town's resources to fetch water or grow food. Christians had to go to other towns such as Amanokrom for food supplies or water. After a few weeks later, Opoku petitioned the chief to fetch water from the palace on humanitarian grounds. The palace obliged and the ban was lifted. Nonetheless, a decree was issued in 1869 that banned Mamfe natives from converting to Christianity. Parents of children who converted faced a monetary penalty, to be paid in cowries. Two girls, Kaade (c. 1845 – 1928) and Gyamea defied the edict and were baptized in March 1869 by Opoku, adopting the Judeo-Christian Germanic names, Wilhelmine and Maria respectively. This led to near skirmishes, the capture and persecution of the two converts until the British colonial Governor intervened in the matter to free the Christian girl-captives.

On 1 September 1872, Theophilus Opoku was ordained a minister of the Basel mission by the Johann G. Widmann together with the Gold Coast historian, Carl Christian Reindorf and Jamaican Moravian missionary, Alexander Worthy Clerk. Through his Christian ministry, he went to many towns and villages including a visit to the Togoland and the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast in 1877. He carried out ethnographic research in Salaga and his observations were captured in his diary which were ultimately published in the Christian Messenger in Basel in 1884. His accounts include everyday life of the Gonja people, the practice of Islam and the trans-Saharan slave trade. Within this period, the German ethnologist, Gustav Nachtigal (1834 –1885) also travelled extensively in that areas with detailed description of the culture of the inhabitants of northern Ghana. After he returned from Salaga, he contracted smallpox. During his sickness, he composed a Christian hymn, *“Ohoho ne mamfrani na meye wo fam ha”* meaning *"I am a stranger and sojourner in this world"*, a song which is sung at Presbyterian funerals in Ghana and is allusion to his journey to Salaga. In 1877, he was transferred to Kukurantumi in Akyem Abuakwa after recovering from the disease. In 1884, he was posted to Adukrom, north of Akropong and to Mamfe in 1891. He won many Christian converts from heathenism in both places through his mastery of his native tongue, Guan language. His last station was his hometown, Akropong in the Twi District in 1899. There, he faced opposition, from his own kith and kin after criticised the lifestyles of natives, leading the traditional authorities to summon him before the royal tribunal.

In 1909, the Local Committee of the Basel Mission held a meeting at Aburi and appointed Opoku a member of the committee, making him the first African to serve in that role. However, he declined the offer to due to ill-health and impending retirement.

He retired from active church work in 1911 at the age of 69.

## Literary work

Together with David Asante, he helped Johann Gottlieb Christaller in translating the Bible into the Twi language. He also contributed to the development of vernacular literature through his writings in classical Twi. His literary talent was honed while growing up in the royal court as the son of the chief's linguist.

## Selected works

Some of Opoku's selected works include:

* Christaller, J. G., Asante, David, **Opoku, Theophilus** (1871) “*Anyamesem anase Kyerew Kronkron Apam-dedaw ne Apam-foforo nsem wo Twi kasa mu**(“The Holy Bible translated from the original tongues into the Twi language”*), Basel
* **Opoku, Theophilus** (1872). *“Autobiographic sketch”* An unpublished manuscripts in the private collection of the Rev. E. T. Koramoah, Akuropon, Akuapem.
* **Opoku, Theophilus** (1884) *“Extracts from Theophilus Opoku’s diary,”* published as a series of articles in the Christian Messenger, Basel
* **Opoku, Theophilus** *“Ɔhɔho ne mamfrani na meyɛ wɔ fam ha” - "I am a stranger and sojourner in this world"* (Presbyterian hymn, PHB 791)

## Personal life

Theophilus Opoku had married his first wife, Sophie Nyam in April 1868. Nyam had received home science and domestic training from the German educator and missionary, Rosina Widmann (née Binder), the wife of the Johann G. Widmann. The Twi hymn, “Ɛhe po na m’agyenkwa wɔ? meaning "Where, O where, is my Saviour?” was composed by Sophia Nyam. Opoku and Nyam had four children: Samuel Ata Obuobisa, Victor Immanuel Bampo, John A. Dako (Mensa), and Ernestina D. Korantema. The first son, Samuel Opoku was born in January 1869. His wife, Sophia died suddenly while they were at Larteh and Opoku fell into depression. In 1879, he remarried, to Anna Mary Engmann, a Euro-African Ga teacher and organist from Christiansborg, Osu on the coast. Engmann had asthma, a condition which became a source of worry and anxiety for the family. His second marriage produced three children, one of whom, the Rev. C. E. Opoku became a Presbyterian clergyman. His children from the second marriage were: Christian Emmanuel Akufo, Theodor Pratonus Aniapam and Mina Asabea. The couple also adopted a son, Jacob Yaw Mose Owusu.

## Death and funeral

In mid-1913, during a visit to his cocoa farm at Suhyen, Theophilus Opoku became suddenly ill and died on his way to Akropong on 6 July 1913. At his funeral service held at the Christ Presbyterian Church, Akropong, the next day, 7 July 1913, he was eulogised by the Basel missionary, Nicholas Timothy Clerk, who was then the District Minister at Larteh and later became the first Synod Clerk of the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast, serving from 1918 to 1932.

## Legacy

The Gold Coast historian and pastor, Carl Christian Reindorf (1834 – 1917) narrated the success of the Basel missionaries between 1850 and 1875, capturing in part the legacy of Theophilus Opoku's life and work:.

> *“ Congregations had been gathered, schools founded, native assistants educated, the Bible translated into two languages, other books for school and church published in the native tongues, workshops opened, agriculture promoted. And as a step in the right direction, progress had been made towards building up a native church by several of the faithful catechists being ordained as pastors of congregations between 1868 and 1878. The report of 1879 says: ‘It was a joy and gladness, when our dear brethren, the Revs. Alexander Clerk, Christian Reindorf and Theophilus Opoku received this token of confidence and appreciation of faithful services by our Committee.’ ”*

text:
# Francis Gawdy

**Sir Francis Gawdy** QS (died 15 December 1605) was an English judge. He was a Justice of the King's Bench, and Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. His country seat and estates were in Norfolk.

## Career

### Family and name

Francis Gawdy was the third son of Thomas Gawdy, and was baptised Thomas Gawdy, as were his two elder half-brothers, Thomas Gawdy (d.1556) and Thomas Gawdy (d.1588). Francis then had his name changed at his Confirmation, establishing legal precedent that a name given at baptism could be changed at confirmation.

He may have studied at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, matriculating in 1545, but this record might rather be attributable to Francis's half-brother, the Thomas Gawdy who died in 1588. He was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1549, becoming a bencher in 1558 and treasurer in 1571. He was Reader at Lyon's Inn in 1561 and at the Inner Temple in 1566 and 1571. He had an unremarkable parliamentary career, elected to represent Morpeth for the 1571 election, but focused mainly on his legal career. He was made Serjeant-at-law in 1577 and Queen's Serjeant in 1582, and as Queen's Serjeant opened the prosecution against Mary, Queen of Scots.

### Marriage and estates

In 1563 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Coningsby, of Wallington, Esq., who was slain in the first of Edward VI at the battle of Muscleborough in Scotland. Her paternal grandparents were William Coningsby and his wife Beatrix Thursby, the daughter of Thomas Thursby (d.1510) and the sister of Thomas Thursby (d.1543). William Coningsby had been the Recorder in King's Lynn. Elizabeth's mother was Christopher Coningsby's wife Anne, daughter of Sir Roger Woodhouse of Kimberley in Norfolk, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Radcliffe of Hunstanton. After her husband's death, Anne remarried to Sir Thomas Ragland. Elizabeth had two sisters, Anne, who married Alexander Balam of Elme in Cambridgeshire, and Amy, who married Thomas Clarke of Avington in Northamptonshire. Their uncle Thomas Wodehouse married Madge Shelton. He was also present at the battle of Pinkie in September 1547, some sources suggest he was also killed there. With his wife Madge, he had the son Roger Woodhouse of Kimberley in Norfolk.

Sir Henry Spelman wrote (of Shouldham "Abbey") that

> "Sir Francis Gaudy of the Justices of the King's Bench was owner of it, he married \[Elizabeth\] the Daughter and Heir of Christopher Cunningsby Lord of the Manour of Wallington, and having this Manour and other Lands in right of his Wife, induced her to acknowledge a Fine thereof, which done she became a distracted Woman, and continued so to the day of her Death, and was to him for many Years a perpetual affliction."

In this she believed he had cheated her out of her interest in Eston Hall, her father's home. He also obtained Fincham Hall (Fincham, Norfolk) and Wallington Hall (Runcton Holme, Norfolk), which had belonged to Elizabeth's father, Christopher Coningsby.

### Later career

Gawdy succeeded his elder brother, the middle Thomas Gawdy, as a justice of the King's Bench in 1588. With John Clench, Francis Wyndham and William Peryam, he was one of the four justices appointed to hear causes in Chancery in the six months which intervened between the death of his kinsman the Lord Chancellor, Sir Christopher Hatton (20 November 1591), and the appointment of his successor, Sir John Puckering.

He took part in many of the major trials of this period, including that of Sir Walter Raleigh in 1603, and was knighted the same year. Gawdy apparently expected to succeed Sir William Peryam as Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, but James I informed him he was being saved for a more senior position when it became available, and appointed Sir Thomas Fleming to that position instead.

### Raising his granddaughter

The sole issue of his marriage was his daughter Elizabeth. In 1589, at Holdenby, she married Sir William Newport (a nephew and heir of Sir Christopher Hatton's), who changed his name to William Hatton (1560–1597): it was an occasion upon which Sir Christopher Hatton demonstrated his celebrated predilection for dancing. Elizabeth died during her father's lifetime leaving no male issue, but an only daughter, Frances (1590–1623), who was brought up by Gawdy himself.

Sir William's second wife was Elizabeth Cecil, who, upon Sir William's death, remarried to that eminent jurist Sir Edward Coke. In February 1605, without her grandfather's approval, Frances was married to Robert Rich, who became Earl of Warwick in 1619, and after this marriage Gawdy broke off relations between himself and his granddaughter.

In August 1605 Gawdy was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, a position he did not live to enjoy, dying of apoplexy on 15 December at Serjeant's Inn.

### Death and burial

After his death his body was brought from London to Wallington; it is said that they could find no place to bury his body as he was refused space locally. (Gawdy had depopulated the town around his hall and converted the church to a dog kennel or hay store.) As the smell of the body became offensive he was eventually buried without ceremony at North Runcton church and only paving stones were used to cover the grave. The parish register at North Runcton records that he was buried in the chancel by the local parson on 27 February (although the differing calendars would account for much of this apparent delay).

It was noted in 1829 that Wallington church was in ruins although the Hall was well repaired. Wallington Hall has been described as a "Tudor Rose in Bloom". The house still stands today in nearly 600 acres (2.4 km2) near King's Lynn and was valued at five million pounds in 2006.

text:
# Thick-billed miner

The **thick-billed miner** (***Geositta crassirostris***) is a species of bird in the subfamily Sclerurinae, the leaftossers and miners, of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Peru.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The thick-billed miner's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's *Handbook of the Birds of the World* assign it two subspecies, the nominate *G. c. crassirostris* (Sclater, PL, 1866) and *G. c. fortis* (Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1901). The Clements taxonomy does not recognize *fortis*, treating the thick-billed miner as monotypic.

The thick-billed and campo miner (*G. poeciloptera*) are sister species.

## Description

The puna miner is a large member of its genus. It is 18.5 to 19 cm (7.3 to 7.5 in) long and weighs 42 to 55 g (1.5 to 1.9 oz). The sexes are alike. The nominate subspecies has a pale face with a creamy supercilium. It is brown or gray-brown from its crown to its rump. Its central tail feathers are brown or dusky brown and the rest are mostly rufous with dusky brown tips. Its wing coverts are brown or gray-brown with whitish buff or paler brown tips. Its primaries are dusky with much rufous on the inner ones, its secondaries rufous with wide dusky bar near the end, and its tertials are dusky brown with pale gray-brown edges. Its chin is white or whitish and its breast and belly are pale grayish buff. Its iris is brown, its heavy decurved bill has a blackish gray to black maxilla and a blue-gray or blue-gray and black mandible, and its legs and feet are whitish to grayish. Subspecies *G. c. fortis* has more reddish upperparts than the nominate, with more rufous and less of a dusky bar on the flight feathers.

## Distribution and habitat

The exact extent of the thick-billed miner's range is not known. In general it is a bird of coastal hills and the west side of the Andes from central to southwestern Peru. The nominate subspecies is the more northerly of the two. It inhabits "arid boulder-strewn slopes, with scattered shrubs and columnar cacti." Near the coast it ranges in elevation between 300 and 800 m (1,000 and 2,600 ft) and in the Andes between 1,875 and 3,550 m (6,200 and 11,600 ft).

## Behavior

### Movement

The thick-billed miner appears to be a year-round resident.

### Feeding

The thick-billed miner forages on the ground, singly or in pairs. It walks and runs between probing and picking for food. Its diet has not been described but the stomach contents of specimens have contained insect parts, vegetable matter, and grit.

### Breeding

Nothing is known about the thick-billed miner's breeding biology. It is assumed to nest in a burrow in the ground like others of its genus.

### Vocalization

The thick-billed miner's song is a "forceful, accelerating series of *cueew* notes often becoming a harsh, grating series of *djeer-djeer-djeer-djeer ...*  notes". Its call is "a rising then falling mewing *reew*".

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the thick-billed miner as being of Least Concern. It has a large range but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified. It is considered "uncommon to locally fairly common" and "probably is not greatly affected by human activity".

title: Francis Cornwallis

abstract: Francis Cornwallis of Abermarlais, was a Welsh Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1722 to 1728. Cornwallis was the only son of Thomas Cornwallis of Abermarlais, Carmarthenshire, and his wife Emma Charlton, daughter of Sir Job Charlton, 1st Baronet, MP of Ludford, Herefordshire and his second wife Letitia Waring. His father died in 1703 and he succeeded to his estate. His mother remarried John Robinson, Bishop of London. The bishop died in 1723; Emma lived until 1748. He was admitted at Lincoln's Inn in 1706, studied at Eton College in 1707 and matriculated at University College, Oxford on 19 April 1711, aged 18. He married Jane Crowe, daughter of Sir Sackville Crowe, 2nd Baronet of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. Cornwallis stood for Cardiganshire at the 1722 general election at the suggestion of Lewis Pryse and William Powell of Nanteos, joint leaders of the Cardiganshire Tories, and he was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for the seat. At the 1727 general election he transferred to Cardigan Boroughs and was returned unopposed. He was a member of the society of Sea Serjeants, which was said to be a South Wales Jacobite organization.

Cornwallis was the only son of Thomas Cornwallis of Abermarlais, Carmarthenshire, and his wife Emma Charlton, daughter of Sir Job Charlton, 1st Baronet, MP of Ludford, Herefordshire and his second wife Letitia Waring. His father died in 1703 and he succeeded to his estate. His mother remarried John Robinson, Bishop of London. The bishop died in 1723; Emma lived until 1748.

He was admitted at Lincoln's Inn in 1706, studied at Eton College in 1707 and matriculated at University College, Oxford on 19 April 1711, aged 18. He married Jane Crowe, daughter of Sir Sackville Crowe, 2nd Baronet of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.

Cornwallis stood for Cardiganshire at the 1722 general election at the suggestion of Lewis Pryse and William Powell of Nanteos, joint leaders of the Cardiganshire Tories, and he was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for the seat. At the 1727 general election he transferred to Cardigan Boroughs and was returned unopposed. He was a member of the society of Sea Serjeants, which was said to be a South Wales Jacobite organization.

Cornwallis died without issue on 19 August 1728 after falling from his horse in Abermarlais Park. His estate went to his four sisters, the eldest of whom, Letitia, gave hers away in charity. Another sister Eleanor married the Irish politician and landowner Sir Robert Maude, 1st Baronet.

Cornwallis was described in his obituary as 'hospitable, obliging and beneficent; a lover of virtue without ostentation, and of mirth without vice'.

title: Mirror Lake, New Hampshire

abstract: Mirror Lake is an unincorporated community in the town of Tuftonboro in Carroll County, New Hampshire. It is located along the shore of Mirror Lake in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The village is located in the southern part of the town of Tuftonboro, and is adjacent to Lake Winnipesaukee as well as Mirror Lake. New Hampshire Route 109 passes through the village, connecting Wolfeboro to the east and Melvin Village and Moultonborough to the west. Mirror Lake has a ZIP code of 03853 and is one of three ZIP code areas that cover the town of Tuftonboro, the other two being Melvin Village and Center Tuftonboro. The Mirror Lake zip code covers all of Tuftonboro Neck, 19 Mile and 20 Mile bays and a few of Tuftonboro's islands, including Cow, Farm and Chase. The remainder of Tuftonboro's inhabited islands are in the Center Tuftonboro zip code area, but have their mail shipped though Wolfeboro for delivery by mail boat. The center of Mirror Lake village is the junction of Tuftonboro Neck Road with the Governor Wentworth Highway. The Mirror Lake Community Church, which only holds services in summer, is in the village center. At one time Mirror Lake had a mill and a general store named "Ernest B. Piper, Groceries and Stuff" which closed in 1969. The village is known for its summer camps, of which there are 5, and for its summer cabin complexes. The village got brief international attention in 2000, when local innkeeper Chuck Diorio positively identified Massachusetts murderer Dr. Richard Sharpe, who was arrested at the Pine View Lodge in Melvin Village. The small village of Union Wharf lies just north of Mirror Lake, centered on an old dock and marina in 19 Mile Bay. Today Union Wharf houses a summer grocer, boat gasoline pumps, around 70 boat slips and a public beach. The area was once dominated by Nineteen Mile Bay Lodges, a summer cabin renter, which has since become a private property. It is known for its knotty pine cabins, built in the 1950s by Leon Proverb, using mostly materials from Charlestown Navy Yard in Massachusetts.

**Mirror Lake** is an unincorporated community in the town of Tuftonboro in Carroll County, New Hampshire. It is located along the shore of Mirror Lake in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

The village is located in the southern part of the town of Tuftonboro, and is adjacent to Lake Winnipesaukee as well as Mirror Lake. New Hampshire Route 109 (Governor Wentworth Highway) passes through the village, connecting Wolfeboro to the east and Melvin Village and Moultonborough to the west.

Mirror Lake has a ZIP code of 03853 and is one of three ZIP code areas that cover the town of Tuftonboro, the other two being Melvin Village and Center Tuftonboro. The Mirror Lake zip code covers all of Tuftonboro Neck, 19 Mile and 20 Mile bays and a few of Tuftonboro's islands, including Cow, Farm and Chase. The remainder of Tuftonboro's inhabited islands are in the Center Tuftonboro zip code area, but have their mail shipped though Wolfeboro for delivery by mail boat.

The center of Mirror Lake village is the junction of Tuftonboro Neck Road with the Governor Wentworth Highway. The Mirror Lake Community Church, which only holds services in summer, is in the village center. At one time Mirror Lake had a mill and a general store named "Ernest B. Piper, Groceries and Stuff" which closed in 1969. The village is known for its summer camps, of which there are 5, and for its summer cabin complexes. The village got brief international attention in 2000, when local innkeeper Chuck Diorio positively identified Massachusetts murderer Dr. Richard Sharpe, who was arrested at the Pine View Lodge in Melvin Village.

The small village of Union Wharf lies just north of Mirror Lake, centered on an old dock and marina in 19 Mile Bay. Today Union Wharf houses a summer grocer, boat gasoline pumps, around 70 boat slips and a public beach. The area was once dominated by Nineteen Mile Bay Lodges, a summer cabin renter, which has since become a private property. It is known for its knotty pine cabins, built in the 1950s by Leon Proverb, using mostly materials from Charlestown Navy Yard in Massachusetts.
