Evicted from her flat she moves in with her boyfriend Peter and soon learns that Peter and his flat mate, Jan, are breaking into luxurious mansions at night. Instead of stealing or vandaliz- ing, though, they carefully and ornately rearrange furniture and valuables and leave obscure messages. Jule convinces Jan, who has a crush on her, to pay a visit to the villa of her creditor.

Department of Geometry, BUTE H. II. 22, Egry József u. 1, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Among regular polygons, the pentagon is considered to be barely used in medieval architectural compositions, due to its odd spatial appearance and difficult method of construction. The pentagon, representing the number five has a rich semantic role in Christian symbolism. Even though the proper way of construction was already invented in the Antiquity, there is no evidence of medieval architects having been aware of this knowledge. Contemporary sources only show approximative construction methods. In the Middle Ages the form has been used in architectural elements such as window traceries, towers and apses. As opposed to the general opinion supposing that this polygon has rarely been used, numerous examples bear record that its application can be considered as rather common. Our paper at- tempts to give an overview of the different methods architects could have used for regular pentagon construction during the Middle Ages, and the ways of applying the form.

  • MLK Asteroids Report
    The Asteroids Report for Martin Luther King 15 January 1929 12:00 Atlanta, Georgia Profesional Astro Reports www.astro-reports.com [email protected] Introduction to the Asteroids Report Asteroids orbit around the Sun just as planets do, but they are generally smaller than planets, and some of their physical characteristics and orbital characteristics are different from those of planets. Some objects are classified as being dwarf planets, and these objects are more similar to planets than most asteroids but do not fully have the characteristics that are typical of a planet. Pluto was once regarded officially as a planet but has been reclassified as a dward planet, and the asteroid Ceres is now widely regarded as a dwarf planet. Of the hundreds of thousands of asteroids that orbit around our Sun, over 1,000 of them have been given names that are related to myths, legends, literary or historical figures of interest, or places. Some astrologers believe that asteroids have a significance and relevance to human life just as the planets do, and that the astrological significance of the asteroid is often related in some way to the name of the asteroid. In this report 1,425 asteroids are analyzed to see if they are conjunct in zodiac longitude the Sun, Moon, or planets in the birth chart within a 1 degree orb. If the conjunction occurs, information about the asteroid is provided. Those astrologers who include hundreds of asteroids in their interpretations believe that the asteroids often related to very specific events in your life. The names of close family and friends and situations that you encounter in life often reflect the nature of the asteroids that are conjunct planets in your chart.

  • KEY CONCEPTS for the EARLY MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    KEY CONCEPTS for the EARLY MEDIEVAL PERIOD DEVELOPMENT OF BOOKS The transition from the scroll to the bound book in this period was critical in the preservation and transmission of learning in Europe. Illuminated manuscripts are among the most important art objects created during the Early Middle Ages. Students should understand the process of bookmaking, copying, and illustrating that was developed during this period. CHARLEMAGNE'S PROJECT Charlemagne's attempt to revive the arts and create a culture along the lines of ancient Rome is the historical background for the most important period of art in the Early Middle Ages. His accomplishments and their influence, especially Carolingian miniscule and monastery design, are key concepts that students should take from this chapter. INTERLACE Ribbon interlace and animal interlace were used as decoration on a variety of art objects from Sweden, Norway, and the British Isles. Students should be able to connect the themes of animal interlace to the presumed religious beliefs of the people that developed it. EARLY MEDIEVAL ART Three Basic parts to Early Medieval Era: Fall of Western Empire 400-600 Art of the Warlords: The PAGAN Years Western Empire now broken up amongst the Goths, Angles, Saxons and Franks… Known for the ‘animal style’ that is prevalent in this period… Chi Rho Iota from the Book of Kells 700-800 HIBERNO-SAXON ART: Produced in Ireland (Hiberno) and England (Saxon). Much like the Pagan art (interwoven designs), but contained Christian concepts. CAROLINGIAN Period (768-814): Charlemagne crowned King of the Franks and Christian Ruler in 768… Cathedral of Aachen promoted the ‘three-part elevation’ to Churches… Education to the people through art and illuminated manuscripts, like the Ebbo Gospels OTTONIAN Periods (950-1050): The Three German Ottos known for uniting the region under a common Christian Rule again, which sparks the need for bigger churches in the ROMANESQUE period.

  • HISTORICAL DICTIONARY Witchcraft
    Bailey History • Religion • Demonology & Satanism Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies, and Movements, No. 47 A great deal has been written about the history of witchcraft, but much of what has been written is unreliable, exaggerated, or inaccurate. This problem Historical Dictionary Historical Historical is especially acute in regard to modern witchcraft, or Wicca, and its supposed connections to historical witchcraft in medieval and early modern Europe. The Historical Dictionary of Witchcraft is a reliable reference for both academics and general readers interested in the actual historical development of witchcraft in the Western world. Dictionary The focus of the dictionary is on Western Europe during the late medieval and early modern periods, when the specific idea of diabolical witchcraft devel- oped and the so-called great witch-hunts occurred. Also provided are entries on magic and witchcraft in the early Christian period, as well as the lingering of belief in witchcraft in the modern world and the development of the modern, neopagan religion of witchcraft, also known as Wicca. For comparative purposes, some entries deal with aspects and systems of Witchcraft magic found in other parts of the world, such as Africa, as well as the New- World practices of Voodoo and Santeria. Important people in the history of witchcraft are examined, from the medieval inquisitors and magistrates who developed the stereotype of the historical witch to the modern developers of Wicca. Also included are legal terms and concepts important to the prosecution of witchcraft, religious and theological concepts, and more popular beliefs and aspects of common folklore and mythology. Geographic entries are also incorpo- rated, discussing the scope of witch-hunting and describing specific examples of of major witch-hunts, such as those that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts.

  • Church and Belief in the Middle Ages Popes, Saints, and Crusaders Church and Belief in the Middle Ages Crossing Boundaries Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies
    CROSSING BOUNDARIES Edited by Kirsi Salonen and Sari Katajala-Peltomaa Church and Belief in the Middle Ages Popes, Saints, and Crusaders Church and Belief in the Middle Ages Crossing Boundaries Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies The series from the Turku Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (TUCEMEMS) publishes monographs and collective volumes placed at the intersection of disciplinary boundaries, introducing fresh connections between established fields of study. The series especially welcomes research combining or juxtaposing different kinds of primary sources and new methodological solutions to deal with problems presented by them. Encouraged themes and approaches include, but are not limited to, identity formation in medieval/early modern communities, and the analysis of texts and other cultural products as a communicative process comprising shared symbols and meanings.
