Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop on parallel database systems organized by the PRISMA (Parallel Inference and Storage Machine) project. The invited contributions by internationally recognized experts give a thorough survey of several aspects of parallel database systems. The second part of the volume gives an in-depth overview of the PRISMA system. This system is based on a parallel machine, where the individual processors each have their own local memory and communicate with each other over a packet-switched network. On this machine a parallel object-oriented programming language, POOL-X, has been implemented, which provides dedicated support for database systems as well as general facilities for parallel programming. The POOL-X system then serves as a platform for a complete relational main-memory database management system, which uses the parallelism of the machine to speed up significantly the execution of database queries. The presentation of the PRISMA system, together with the invited papers, gives a broad overview of the state of the art in parallel database systems.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. SOLE EDITION. A fine copy in its original binding of 17th c. mottled French calf, spine gilt and with red morocco label (minor wear to the spine.) Fine and fresh with just the occasional small rust spot. Engraved arms of the dedicatee, Nicolas Fouquet, on the second leaf. First edition of this rare relation describing the Jesuit missions in the Caribbean and on the South American mainland, providing one of the earliest systematic accounts of the Lesser Antilles and Guiana. Much of the book is based on the author's firsthand experiences. He describes the foundation of churches, the conversion of enslaved Africans and Indigenous nations, Indigenous culture, the moral and physical trials of evangelization, and the natural history of the islands and mainland. Of special importance is the third part of the work: the author's grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, one of the earliest printed studies of a South American Indigenous language. Pelleprat explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." In 1651, Pierre Pelleprat was sent from France to the Antilles, joining Fathers Denys Mesland, François Gueymeu, and Guillaume Aubergeon. The Jesuits served the indigenous Amerindians, enslaved Africans, and Irish and French settlers. Two years later, Pelleprat and Mesland sailed for the mainland, where they established a mission on the Guarapiche River near the Gulf of Paria. After Mesland's departure was, Pelleprat remained alone, continuing his missionary work and studying the local language. Illness forced him to return to the islands in 1654. He petitioned to return to Europe but was denied and instead lived out the remainder of his life in Mexico, dying at Puebla de los Angeles in 1667. The preface outlines the establishment of the Jesuit mission in the French Caribbean following the founding of Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1635. Pelleprat recounts the arrival of the Jesuits and their efforts to learn the native languages in order to communicate doctrine, record confessions, and translate prayers. His descriptions of the climate, geography, and local governance of the islands are accompanied by remarks on Indigenous customs, domestic life, and religious beliefs. Pelleprat portrays the Indigenous inhabitants with clarity and sympathy. They are "without guile or malice and capable of every good doctrine They are neither cruel nor treacherous, as some have claimed; rather they are generous and easily moved to affection when treated with kindness." He notes the Galibis skill in painting and weaving: "They take great care in painting their bodies and in making their cotton cloths, which they dye with beautiful colors." The author records local fishing and hunting practices, the use of pirogues (canoes) along the coasts, and the construction of dwellings raised above ground: "They live by fish and roots, in houses built upon poles to guard against the waters and the reptiles." He marvels at the beauty and richness of South America: its landscape, flora and fauna: "the trees of these islands bear fruit twice a year, and the soil is so rich that it needs only to be turned over to yield harvests beyond expectation". The Galibi Language Pelleprat's introduction to the Galibi language is one of the earliest printed attempts to describe and translate a South American Indigenous language. He explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." Pelleprat opens by justifying his study as a means to conversion, writing that "the barbarous nations are so docile and so well disposed to receive the Gospel that they await only its preaching." His goal is not philological in the modern sense but practical: to prepare future missionaries to communicate Christian doctrine. Even so, his careful observations show an emerging recognition of linguistic structure. He notes that "this language has its own rules, its order, and its way of composing words," an acknowledgment that Amerindian languages were coherent systems rather than the "corrupted" or "primitive" speech often imagined by Europeans. The Introduction proceeds systematically, identifying letters, pronunciation, and basic grammar before offering a brief bilingual vocabulary. Pelleprat outlines nouns, pronouns, and verb forms, and includes everyday expressions drawn from conversation. The vocabulary reveals the priorities of the missionary encounter, pairing religious and material terms: "God" and "Devil," "soul," "heaven," and "earth," alongside "river," "house," and "friend." Through such juxtapositions, the work translates the Christian world into the idiom of local experience. Pelleprat also recognizes the limits of his own learning, admitting that he "has gathered what he could learn from the natives themselves" and that the book is only a "first attempt." The Islands of America Pelleprat opens with the Jesuits' first arrival at Martinique and he describes the founding of chapels, the teaching of catechism, and the first baptisms. When the mission expanded to Guadeloupe and Saint Christopher (St Kitts), he wrote: "we carried with us neither gold nor silver, but the Cross of Christ and a heart desirous only to win souls. With this we founded our first church on the edge of the sea, the waves serving us for organ and bells." (p. 17) Pelleprat relates the successful conversion of enslaved Africans: "for although they have been reared in brutishness, many become so chaste and honest when they are Christians that they would rather die than commit the least indecency." (p. 33) Irish Catholics who had been exiled by the English sought out the Jesuits for Mass and confession, and.

Very good. Old color. Original centerfold. Size 25 x 37.5 Inches. An impressive large-scale Pierre Mortier 1700 map of the British Colonies in North America. The map features an important inset of Boston - the first map of a British colonial city on a non-British map (Burden). It was issued to capitalize on popular interest in King William's War (1689 - 1697). King William's War Although attributed to Nicolas Sanson, the map is more accurately derived from the 1695 Robert Morden map, with which it shares both points of accuracy and anomalous errors. Like the Morden map, this map was issued to capitalize on general interest in the Americas in the wake of the Second Indian War or, as it is more commonly known, King William's War (1689 - 1697). King William's War was essentially an extension of the Nine Years' War in Europe to the colonies, with French and English colonies set against one another for control of the Fur Trade. Although neither side was willing to dedicate manpower better deployed on the European front, the battle was waged between each respective nation's American Indian Allies. The Iroquois League fought with England while the Wabanaki Confederacy sided with France. This map covers the areas affected, including the rich fur lands around the Great Lakes and in the Hudson Bay, and additionally expresses the potential of the French holdings around the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Unusual Cartography The map offers much of interest, including an overstated mapping of the Great Lakes and Mississippi valley derived from Dablon (1672) and Thevenot (1681). The Appalachian Mountains extend south well into peninsular Florida. They also trifurcate mysteriously in modern-day Kentucky. One range, roughly correct, extends northwards towards New England. Another arm extends westwards towards the Mississippi River. The third and largest branch runs north into Michigan's lower peninsula - although excised here, the Morden bears the curious annotation which does much to explain the unusual presentation of that range, On the top of these mountains is a plaine like a terras walk above 200 miles in length. Lederer Cartography In Carolina and southern Virginia appears the cartography of John Lederer, identifying a 'Large Savana' at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, Lake Ashley as the source of the Savannah River (or a mismapping of the May River), and the Desert Arenosa. Today, Lederer is highly criticized for fabricating much of his journey, and a cursory examination of the map will reveal what might seem to be several gross cartographic errors, including a great savanna in the Piedmont, the 'Deserta Arensa,' and Ashley Lake. Our own research suggests there may be a bit of truth in Lederer's account, with the desert, Arensoa, corresponding to the San Hills Region. The savanna, which Lederer described as 'marshish grounds at the foot of the Apalataei,' is more likely than not an area of marshy denuded land that has since dried up. Lake Ashley is a common feature on older maps of this region and, although fictional, may have been copied from other sources and simply renamed to add context to Lederer's voyages. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Pierre Mortier in 1700 - one of nine new maps inserted in the Suite de Neptune François , the second volume of his 1693 Neptune François . The map is well represented institutionally and appears occasionally on the market. References: Burden, P., The Mapping of North America II, #765. OCLC 56393581.
