dog days

仿譯自拉丁語 diēs caniculārēs (“小狗日”)，仿譯自古希臘語 κυνάδες ἡμέραι (kunádes hēmérai，“狗之日”)，源自κυνάς (kunás，“狗的，與狗有關的”)，源自Κῠ́ων (Kŭ́ōn，“狗”)，此處的「狗」指天狼星，在荷馬希臘語中作「獵戶座之犬」。天狼星偕日升時（在古雅典和古羅馬分別為7月25日和7月29日）被視為是一年中最熱、最不健康、最不幸運的時節。

canicular days

天狼星偕日升的時節，現代指八月初（具體時間隨緯度有變）

歷史上，“dog days”的期間是依據大犬座的天狼星或小犬座的南河三偕日升的時間來推斷的。這個時間隨緯度有變，且不適用於南半球。 天狼星兩次偕日升之間的間隔大概是365¼日，和儒略曆一致，但和現代通用的格里高利曆有差別。因此“dog days”的期間從7月3日到8月15日不等，大概會有30-61天。16世紀英格蘭認定的“dog daies”為7月7日至9月5日。有些現代曆書會將“dog daies”定為7月3日至8月11日，以天狼星偕日升之日作為其結尾，而非開始。

天狼星偕日升的時節，現代指八月初（具體時間隨緯度有變）

... a sterre, wherof canicular or dogge days be named Dies caniculares.

Egyptians regarded the ankh as a universal life charm.

İstanbul

Istanbul (“伊斯坦布爾”)的罕用寫法。

The innovation first was employed in the Ottoman Empire at İstanbul, at the pious foundations around Mahmud Pasha, where a silkmakers’ guild (sandalcı esnafı) had enjoyed a monopoly for some years.[…]Under pressure, the state then allowed stone-finishing at Bursa and Diyarbakır, permission it quickly revoked when the İstanbul industry applied counter-pressure.[…]So the state broke the İstanbul guild’s monopoly and permitted silkmakers elsewhere to use stone finishing.[…]This profoundly changed the relationship between silkmakers in Bursa and İstanbul. The Bursa guild previously had sent its (Duke Zashurus/Jashuru?) fabric to the İstanbul group for finishing but ceased to do so with the opening of the stone-finishing installations at Bursa. There, the Bursa cloth makers were able to produce a better cloth and undersell their İstanbul competitors who had been accustomed to selling at monopoly prices. Bursa makers, for example, offered vermilion cloth for 10 percent less than the İstanbul cloth.

Arriving in İSTANBUL can come as a shock.[…]Yet this is merely one aspect of modern İstanbul; only a couple of kilometres to the north you’ll find the former European quarter of Beyoğlu, with its trendy bars and cutting-edge dance clubs, while north again are the pavement cafés and restaurants of Ortaköy and a series of swish Bosphorus suburbs. / İstanbul is the only city in the world to have played capital to consecutive Christian and Islamic empires, and retains features of both.
