sources date January 2009 Kashpir Ganusov lang ru ? ? was a Russia n bellmaker of the 16th century. The information about Kashpir Ganusov is scarce. It is difficult to tell what nationality he was or where he came from. We can only cautiously assume that Kashpir Ganusov was one of those craftsmen who had left the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the first half of the 16th century. According to the Moscow Cannon Yard documents and archives, Kashpir Ganusov was working at the court of Ivan the Terrible in 1550s. In 1550, the cannon yard produced a huge Bell instrument bell weighing around 2000 pood s 33 megagram Mg , which would later receive the name of Lebed , or swan . This bell didn t survive to this day, but we only know of one bell maker in Moscow of that time, who could have cast it. Based on this, Kashpir Ganusov is considered the maker of this bell or his predecessor, whose name is unknown . At a certain point in time, Kashpir Ganusov moved his activities to Smolensk . According to some documents of the 19th century, there were quite a few arquebus es along the fortress walls of Smolensk with Ganusov s name on them and his apprentices names, as well . One of the most famous pieces of ammunition made by Kashpir Ganusov is an arquebus named Ostraya Panna , then located at the Government Warehouse in Smolensk. It weighed 185 poods 3,030 kg . The engraving on this arquebus says that it was made by Kashpir Ganusov in the summer of 1564. There are no other known arquebuses with Ganusov s name on them, but some of them have the name of his most famous apprentice Andrei Chokhov . It happened so that Chokhov had to recast his teacher s creation the Lebed bell after Devlet I Giray s Fire of Moscow 1571 raid on Moscow in 1571 . It is this very bell that is pictured on the so called Kremlenagrad the first detailed map of the Moscow Kremlin .

The Santuario di Vicoforte is a monumental church located in the comune commune of Vicoforte , province of Cuneo , Piedmont , northern Italy . It is known for having the largest elliptical dome cupola in Europe. History It originated as a small medieval sanctuary , consisting of a modest shrine containing a fifteenth century fresco depicting a Madonna and Child . Around 1590 a shooting party passed by and a huntsman accidentally struck the image of the Virgin. According to legend, she began to bleed. The penitent huntsman added his arquebus to the shrine and began to collect the large sum of money which would be needed to repair the damage and expiate his sin. Today the arquebus is preserved in a chapel of the sanctuary near the fresco which it had disfigured. In time the place became a centre of pilgrimage. An early visitor was the duke Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy who, in 1596, commissioned the construction of a large sanctuary from the court architect Ascanio Vitozzi . However the death of both the duke who had wanted to be buried here , and of the architect, put a stop to the building work. Construction was resumed in the eighteenth century under Francesco Gallo who built the great elliptical cupola which is 74 metres high and Not clear what height is being measured here. See picture for sanity check. has major and minor diameters of 36 metres and 25 metres respectively. It is said that Gallo was required to remove the scaffolding himself, as nobody thought that a structure of this type would be able to stand on its own or support itself . The decoration in fresco of the 6,032 square metres of the cupola s vault was completed in 1752 by Mattia Bortoloni and Felice Biella , and the sanctuary finally attained its current form in 1884, when the campanili were built along with the three fa ades.

The nihongo Negoro gumi were an order of sohei warrior monks based in Negoroji temple, in Japan s Kii Province .

Negoroji, along with many other warrior monasteries, came under Siege of Negoroji siege at the end of the 16th century in 1585, the temple was burned to the ground by the forces of Oda Nobunaga . The monks of Negoroji were devotees of the Shingi sect of Shingon Japanese Buddhism Buddhism , but were allied with monks of other sects, such as the Ikk ikki , as well as with Tokugawa Ieyasu , a chief rival of Oda Nobunaga. They aided their allies in a number of battles, including the siege of Ishiyama Honganji , the main base of the Ikk ikki. When their own temple came under siege in 1585, its inhabitants are estimated to have numbered 30,000 to 50,000, though many escaped before the siege and sought refuge in Wakayama Castle ta castle , home of the Saiga Ikki . Following the destruction, twenty five of the survivors joined Tokugawa Ieyasu s army, forming the core of his firearms squads. An insight into the daily lives of the Negoro gumi was provided by Father Caspar Vilela , a Jesuit missionary who visited the temple. He compared the monks to the Knights of Rhodes , devoted warriors who would give anything to fight for their religion. However, he observed that the monks of Negoroji focused far more on military preparations than on prayer, and that many had not even taken monastic vows. Vilela was impressed by their martial prowess, the extent of their daily training, and the strength of their weapons and armor. These monks were not only expert arquebus iers, but also some of the best gunsmiths in the country, and accomplished fletcher s. They celebrated military victories with all the pleasures enjoyed by a secular force, indulging in many things that an ascetic life ought to prohibit, such as women, wine, and song.

Balbi s journal, apparently with some revisions after the fact, was first published in Spain in 1567. A second revised and extended edition was published in 1568.
