**PLACENTA-2023-001 **
1. The different affections are found united in the
various constituent elements of the placenta ; or,
rather, those wliich are found in one portion of the
organ are different, either in character or degree,
from the chHnges in other portions. More commonly,
diseases attack simultaneously the maternal placenta

and the villi, without our heing able to establish any
limited or well-marked relations between them ; as,
for example, a disease of the parenchyma of the villi
may be complicated with an entirely diflerent affec-
tion of the glandular organ which envelops them.
2. The same lesions, well characterized, assume
different appearances and produce results dependent
upon the invasion of the pathological process affect-
ing the portions of the placenta during the periods of
evolution, or when its development has been com-
pleted. The fibrous changes of the maternal placenta
will present various characteristics as they attack it,
either when represented by the cells of the serotina,
or when the glandular organ has been already formed.
In a word, the pathological changes have and must
have different appearances, according as they affect
the histological elements or the organa resulting
therefrom. In the midst of so many difficulties, I
have not the assumption to treat of all the diseases of
the placenta; some, moreover, are very rare and ex-
ceptional. I sliall describe the more common patho-
logical changes, and shall attempt to be as precise as
possible, 80 that my observations may at least serve
to place a little in order the knowledge already gained
and present a guide to the investigators of the future.

Few languages contain so great a number of compound and deriva-

new combinations, either for the purpose of expelling some foreign
words from the language, or of conveying some new shade of mean.


**MED-ITALY-1155-FREDERICK-001 **
Frederick  commenced  his  operations  by  attacking
the  friends  of  Milan,  and  after  having  obtained  the
mastery  over  the  weaker  among  them,  laid  siege  to
Tortona,  which  bravely  resisted  for  two  months,  after
which  it  was  forced  to  capitulate  and  was  demolished.
The  Emperor  at  that  time  did  not  dare  to  attack
Milan.     He  confined  himself  to  pronouncing  the  city


224  MEDIAEVAL   ITALY

an  outlaw  of  the  Empire,  and  deprived  it  of  many-
prerogatives.  On  the  17th  of  April,  1155,  at  Monza,
the  Iron  crown  was  placed  on  his  head.  He  then
proceeded  to  Rome,  where,  after  the  tragic  end  of
Arnold,  he  was  crowned  Emperor.  His  coronation
was  followed,  as  we  have  already  related,  by  that
bloody  battle  which  compelled  him  to  leave  the  city
almost  as  a  fugitive.
No  sooner  had  the  Emperor  returned  to  Germany
than  Milan  commenced  to  rebuild  Tortona,  and
Frederick,  occupied  as  he  was  in  his  own  country,  was
unable  to  cross  the  Alps  again  and  curb  the  pride
of  the  rebellious  city.  Meanwhile  his  relations  with
the  Pope  were  becoming  always  more  embittered.
Frederick  forced  the  ecclesiastics  to  receive  investiture
from  him  alone,  and  Pope  Hadrian  could  not  and
would  not  tolerate  this.  He  made  bitter  complaint
on  the  subject  in  a  letter  which  Cardinal  Bandinelli
presented  to  the  Diet  of  Besan^on  in  11 57.  In  this
letter  the  Pope,  referring  to  the  coronation,  said  to
Frederick  that  he  then  granted  him  the  "  Beneficium  "
of  the  Empire.  The  inference  of  vassalage  which
such  wording  contained  aroused  at  once  such  a  storm
that  Hadrian  was  forced  almost  to  withdraw  it,
declaring  that  it  had  been  used  in  its  ordinary  sense
without  the  slightest  allusion  to  its  feudal  significance.


**MAIMONIDES_001 **
interprets that saying of the wise men, '^ Ali things are in — ^-^ —
the hand of Heaven/^ &c.; but some of those things also which
fall under a man^s choice, as, to take such an one for his
wife, to hold such possessions^, &c. By extending tliis saying
to which, the same Maimonides says that men have made a
great mistake, since the dispute between the Pharisees and
Sadducees was only conceming those things which come
under choice. And hence, as I may observe by the way, has
arisen a custom amongst the modem Jews that those invited
to a wedding wish good fortune to the parties to be joined in
matrimony in the following form : " May the planet be good aitD ^TD
or propitious,'* (for so Maimonides says the word mazal is to
be explained ;) which words also they would inscribe on the
ring for damsels that were betrothed, as Munster observes. in Gen.


**poem_of_tyrants_words **
"  Wretched,  indeed  "  (as  your  grandfather  said),
"  The  fate  of  princes  who  make  good  their  charge
Of  purposed  murder  by  their.  martyrdom,
Proving  the  plot  against  their  Ufe,  by  death."
Domitian  'twas,  in  truth,  who  spake  these  words,
Yet  rather  would  I  cali  them  Hadrian's,
Since  tyrants'  sayings,  true  howe'er  they  be,
Have  not  the  weight  of  good  and  noble  men's.

### Answer ###
The word "bald" has different uses in German depending on its context. In German, "bald" can mean "soon" when used temporally, as in "Ich komme bald zurück" (I will be back soon). This matches the English usage of "bald" in this context.

However, "bald" also has a specific legal and historical meaning in German law. Specifically, it refers to the principle of "Baldrecht," which ensures that tenants have the right to buy their property at a fair price after a certain period of time<ref name="GERM-DIC-0319-PRF">"Few languages contain so great a number of compound and derivative words, as the German"</ref>. This is distinct from its temporal use but illustrates the versatility of the word in the German language.

In conclusion, while the provided references do not directly address the usage of "bald" in German, the term can indeed be used in both temporal and legal contexts in German, reflecting a common pattern in many languages where words with similar meanings across different contexts are adapted and used in various ways.
