Pall (heraldry)
A pall (or pairle) in heraldry and vexillology is a Y-shaped charge (heraldry), charge, normally having its arms in the three corners of the shield. An example of a pall placed horizontally (fesswise) is the green portion of the Flag of South Africa, South African national flag. A pall that stops short of the shield's edges and that has pointed ends to its three limbs is called a shakefork, although some heraldic sources do not make a distinction between a pall and a shakefork. A pall standing upside down is named ''pall reversed''. An ecclesiastical pall on a shield, or pallium, is the heraldic indicator of archbishoprics. These palls usually have a lower limb that stops short of the bottom of the shield with a fringe. Palls can also be modified with Line (heraldry), heraldic lines. One example is the coat of Saint-Wandrille-Rançon. Gallery File:Earl of Glencairn arms.svg, Arms of the Earl of Glencairn, chief of Clan Cunningham: ''Argent, a shakefork sable'' File:Angl-Cante ...

Wallachia
Wallachia or Walachia (; ; : , : ) is a historical and geographical region of modern-day Romania. It is situated north of the Lower Danube and south of the Southern Carpathians. Wallachia was traditionally divided into two sections, Muntenia (Greater Wallachia) and Oltenia (Lesser Wallachia). Dobruja could sometimes be considered a third section due to its proximity and brief rule over it. Wallachia as a whole is sometimes referred to as Muntenia through identification with the larger of the two traditional sections. Wallachia was founded as a principality in the early 14th century by Basarab I after a rebellion against Charles I of Hungary, although the first mention of the territory of Wallachia west of the river Olt dates to a charter given to the voivode Seneslau in 1246 by Béla IV of Hungary. In 1417, Wallachia was forced to accept the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire; this lasted until the 19th century. In 1859, Wallachia united with Moldavia to form the Un ...

The studies were done in Greek, and for the better part of the 18th century they were basically Aristotelian. Beginning with the 1760s a series of enlightened directors introduced into the Academy the study of mathematics, natural sciences and modern philosophy, translating and adapting European handbooks.
