Porphyry Copper Deposits of the World: Database, Maps, and Preliminary Analysis By Donald A. Singer, Vladimir I. Berger, and Barry C. Moring An updated version of the file is available in USGS Open-File Report 2005-1060 (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1060/) INTRODUCTION This publication contains a computer file of information on porphyry copper deposits around the world. It also presents new grade and tonnage models for three subtypes of porphyry copper deposits, maps showing locations and general ages of these deposits, and a preliminary analysis with a number of figures summarizing many of the properties of these porphyry-style deposits. These summaries can be considered a new, quantified, form of most parts of descriptive models such as those in Cox and Singer (1986). The value of this information and analyses depends critically on the consistent manner of data gathering. For this reason, we first discuss the rules used in this compilation. Next the fields of the data file are considered. Finally, we discuss some of the things that can be done with the data.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... N > Neo-Platonism Neo-Platonism General survey A system of idealistic spiritualistic philosophy , tending towards mysticism , which flourished in the pagan world of Greece and Rome during the first centuries of the Christian era. It is of interest and importance, not merely because it is the last attempt of Greek thought to rehabilitate itself and restore its exhausted vitality by recourse to Oriental religious ideas , but also because it definitely entered the service of pagan polytheism and was used as a weapon against Christianity . It derives its name from the fact that its first representatives drew their inspiration from Plato's doctrines, although it is well known that many of the treatises on which they relied are not genuine works of Plato . It originated in Egypt , a circumstance which would, of itself, indicate that while the system was a characteristic product of the Hellenistic spirit , it was largely influenced by the religious ideals and mystic tendencies of Oriental thought.

All the best, Andie Wednesday, March 05, 2008 Auction: Roman statue of purple porphyry News-Antique I've added this only because the statue in question was made from a stone exclusively available from the Eastern Desert of Egypt and quarried from there during the Roman period. The settlement built to accompany the site was called Mons Porphyrites and is now in ruins. There are still outcrops of the stone, a remarkable shade of purple with white speckles. New York Frankfurt Germany from 1980-1986, and later exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum Toronto from 1986-1991. Porphyry was highly regarded for its color, since purple was symbolic of high rank and authority. The stone was quarried in Egypt Alexandria and then on to Rome . During the Roman Period, the quarries were traditionally understood to have been under the direct control of the emperor. The stone was only sporadically used during the 1st Century A.D., reaching its first peak of use during the reigns of the emperors Trajan 98-117 A.D. and Hadrian 117-138 A.D. and again in the 4th Century. It was used for statuary, architectural elements including columns and floor paving, decorative urns and basins, and for imperial sarcophagi. Most porphyry statuary, as with the present example, was finished as a composite work of art, with the head, hands and feet made from a contrasting material, usually white marble.

The "Ancient Art" department will be offering "an exquisite Roman statue of the goddess Tyche". The piece first surfaced in 1967 and has been on loan to the Liebieghaus , Frankfurt, (1980-1986), and later at the Royal Ontario Museum , Toronto (1986-1991). G. Max Bernheimer , International Department Head for Antiquities, raves about it: So why comment? After all, the piece surfaced before 1970. The reason is that the "statue was formerly in the private collection of Dr. Elie Borowski, collector and connoisseur of ancient art". What the text fails to mention is that Borowski was also a dealer. His name is associated with the Fano Athlete (now in the J. Paul Getty Museum), and it also appears in the famous organigram that features in The Medici Conspiracy Bernheimer can hardly be unaware of this. The description on his

2007 Archive Edition - See the Archive Notice on the Project Homepage for more information. The Ecole Glossary Porphyry Porphyry ( CE) was a major contributor to the spread of Neoplatonism, particularly within the Roman Empire. In , he moved to Rome and became a close friend and follower of Plotinus . He is best known for organizing and editing the lectures and writings of Plotinus, producing the collection of texts we know as The Enneads , and for writing The Life of Plotinus , a work that provides many clues to interpretting Plotinus' thought. In addition, Porphyry also made his own philosophical contributions: 1) he developed the idea that the One exists prior to and independently of Being or Intellect and 2) established the identity of Intellect and Thought with its objects. Porphyry argued that everything that did not seem to be the One was in fact an appearance of the One resulting from our inability to think the One as it truly is. Porphyry wrote many philosophical works, including Against The Christians , a critical work attacking Christianity, Introduction to the Categories , a valued commentary on Aristotle's Categories , and Aids to the Study of the Intelligibles , a basic summary of Neoplatonism.

Porphyry was a man of great learning and was interested in and had great talent for historical and philological criticism. He had a passion to uproot false teachings in order to ennoble people and turn them to the Good. He declared the salvation of the soul as the ultimate purpose of philosophy. Porphyry's father was called Malkhos or Malchus, which means 'king'. Both Porphyry's parents were Phoenician and he would only get the nickname Porphyry later in his life as we shall explain below. Porphyry was named after his father so for many years he was known as Malchus. According to Gillian Clark's book Porphyry. On Abstinence from Killing Animals

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Plotinus, I, Porphyry on the Life of Plotinus. Ennead 1 Plotinus Translator A. H. Armstrong Plotinus (204/5-270 CE ) was the first and greatest of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings were edited by his disciple Porphyry, who published them many years after his master's death in six sets of nine treatises each (the Enneads). Plotinus regarded Plato as his master, and his own philosophy is a profoundly original development of the Platonism of the first two centuries of the Christian era and the closely related thought of the Neopythagoreans, with some influences from Aristotle and his followers and the Stoics, whose writings he knew well but used critically. He is a unique combination of mystic and Hellenic rationalist. His thought dominated later Greek philosophy and influenced both Christians and Moslems, and is still alive today because of its union of rationality and intense religious experience. In his acclaimed edition of Plotinus, Armstrong provides excellent introductions to each treatise. His invaluable notes explain obscure passages and give reference to parallels in Plotinus and others. Other HUP Books by Plotinus Plotinus, II, Ennead 2

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.03.02 Steven K. Strange, Porphyry: On Aristotle, Categories. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1992. Pp. 185. ISBN 0-8014-2816-5. Reviewed by John Dillon, Trinity College, Dublin. This is the second in a sequence of translations of surviving Neoplatonic commentaries on the Categories in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series edited by Richard Sorabji (the first, though later chronologically, being that of Dexippus, by the present reviewer). Indeed Strange, who is an acknowledged expert on the subject of later interpretations of the Categories , was of considerable help to me, who am really not, in the preparation of my edition, so it is a pleasure for me to welcome his excellent edition now. Like that of Dexippus, Porphyry's short question-and-answer, or 'catechism' commentary is incomplete, breaking off in the middle of a discussion of the contents of ch. 9, though we have indications that Porphyry went on to discuss the Postpraedicamenta too. Basically, however, Porphyry covers the whole of Aristotle's account of the categories proper, whereas the surviving part of Dexippus' commentary only goes as far as the middle of discussion of Quantity (4b23). Porphyry's is somewhat more summary than that of Dexippus, but we must remember that Porphyry already had under his belt that monument of erudition, his big commentary To Gedalius , which is lost, but which we can see from Simplicius formed the basis for all later Neoplatonist commentary on the Categories.

February 26 or 27 Spiritual Bouquet: Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. St. Matthew 6:34 SAINT MECHTILDIS OF HACKEBORN Abbess Saint Mechtildis, born in 1240 in Saxony, was the younger sister of the illustrious Abbess Gertrude of Hackeborn. She was so attracted to religious life at the age of seven, after a visit to her sister in the monastery of Rodardsdoft, that she begged to be allowed to enter the monastic school there. Her gifts caused her to make great progress both in virtue and learning. Ten years later, when her sister had transferred the monastery to an estate at Helfta offered by their brothers, Mechtildis went with her. She was already distinguished for her virtues, and while still very young became the valuable Assistant to Abbess Gertrude. One of the children who in the monastic school were committed to her care, was the child of five who later became known as Saint Gertrude the Great. Saint Mechtildis was gifted with a beautiful voice, and was choir mistress of the nuns all her life. Divine praise, it has been said, was the keynote of her life, as also of her famous book, Purgatorio Sources The Catholic Encyclopedia , edited by C. G.

SEARCH CLICK THE SEARCH BUTTON Academy Reading Room On Images Porphyry Malchus Born: 233 in Tyre (now Sur, Lebanon) Died: 309 in Rome Translated by Edwin Hamilton Gifford This collection of fragments is drawn from the lost work of the Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry On Images. Essentially, the work is a theological and philosophical interpretation of the symbolism of the Greek gods and goddesses. Porphyry explains why the gods and goddesses were represented in certain ways, and how their names and symbolism are allegorical references to the powers of nature or cosmic principles. Porphyry's work is a representative sample of the allegorical approach that was followed by many philosophers and writers in antiquity, including the Stoics, Plutarch, Philo of Alexandria, and the Neoplatonists. First a biography by J J O'Connor and E F Robertson: Porphyry's father was called Malkhos or Malchus, which means 'king'. Both Porphyry's parents were Syrian and he would only get the nickname Porphyry later in his life as we shall explain below. Porphyry was named after his father so for many years he was known as Malchus. As a young man Porphyry tried to gain as broad a knowledge as he possibly could by studying many languages and religions. At that time Athens was the main centre for learning, so it was natural that someone with a thirst for knowledge as Porphyry had should travel there to continue his studies. In Athens Porphyry became a student of Longinus who [8]:-

USGS Home Contact USGS Search USGS Western Mineral Resources Home Products Projects Offices ... Minerals Program Porphyry Copper Deposit Life Cycles - A Regional Approach Project status is complete. Please check the project list for currently active projects Staff Tasks Project summary: Arizona and adjacent areas of New Mexico and Sonora account for about 10% of world copper production. Within this copper-rich province, issues of urbanization, habitat preservation, and mining are becoming increasingly important. Studies of porphyry copper deposits, their regional geologic and geochemical context, and economic and production history will have a significant positive impact on land-use planning, mineral development, and environmental issues. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Titley, 2001; Lang and Titley, 1998), past studies of porphyry copper systems in Arizona and adjacent parts of New Mexico and Sonora have focused on individual deposits or districts at map and temporal scales appropriate only to the deposit in question. In this project, we propose to work simultaneously at three principal map scales: province, regions (clusters of mining districts), and deposits, with an emphasis on the provincial and regional scales. Strategy and Approach: The project team will work simultaneously at three scales of investigation: province scale; regional scale (focus starting in the Ray-Globe-Miami-Superior area, but branching out over time to the Sierrita-Tucson Basin and Safford-Morenci areas); and deposit scale (Ray at first and then shifting to Dos Pobres and possibly other deposits). The methodologies are organized into five tasks that cut across the scales of investigation and sites: (1) Mesozoic and Cenozoic crustal framework, (2) regional distribution of chemical elements, (3) characteristics and evolution of hydrothermal systems, (4) dispersion and concentration of materials from porphyry copper and related deposits in the region, and (5) historic lifecycle analysis of porphyry copper exploration and mining.
