  • Romańskie Napisy Haftowane Na Jedwabnych Pasmach Z Grobu Nr 24 W Kolegiacie W Kruszwicy*
    Marek A. JANICKI Uniwersytet Warszawski, Instytut Historyczny Romańskie napisy haftowane na jedwabnych pasmach z grobu nr 24 w kolegiacie w Kruszwicy* Zarys treści: Artykuł stanowi analizę filologiczną i wstępną analizę epigraficzną wymienionych w tytule in- skrypcji celem określenia możliwego czasu ich powstania na podstawie kryteriów epigraficznych. Abstract: This article is a philological and initial epigraphic analysis of the titular inscriptions aimed at defining the possible time of their origin upon the basis of epigraphic criteria. Słowa kluczowe: epigrafika romańska, romańskie tkaniny grobowe, Kruszwica, Notker Balbulus. Keywords: Romanesque epigraphy, Romanesque tomb textiles, Kruszwica, Notker Balbulus. W grudniu 1960 r. w północnym ramieniu transeptu kolegiaty pw. św. św. Piotra i Pawła w Krusz- wicy odsłonięto średniowieczny grób, który oznaczono nr. 24. W partii tułowia niekompletnego szkie- letu znaleziono trzy pasma jedwabiu z inskrypcjami haftowanymi srebrną, złoconą nicią1. Pasma te, które pierwotnie prawdopodobnie miały barwę żółtą2 i stanowiły pewną całość z uwidaczniającą się sekwencją napisów, mają odpowiednio długość — 1)3 ok. 79 cm, 2) ok. 70 cm, 3) ok. 13 cm i szerokość ok. 4 cm (nie licząc podwiniętych na lewą stronę zakładek)4. Inskrypcje wyhaftowano w układzie * Celem niniejszej wypowiedzi jest wstępna analiza epigrafiki zabytku. Uwagi dotyczące zarówno grafii napisów, jak również cech formalnych samych pasem mogą mieć znaczenie dla interpretacji ich pierwotnego kształtu i zastosowania. Zasadniczo jednak autor w tej ostatniej kwestii nie zajmuje stanowiska. 1 Zob. J. Kürbis, Inskrypcje (Polska), w: Słownik starożytności słowiańskich, t. 2, s. 273 i w niniejszym tomie: E.

  • CHANT in Many Cultures, Chant Is Used to Heighten the Delivery of Text in Religious Or Ritual Contexts. the Musical Delivery Is
    This material is under copyright and the source is E Giraud, ‘Chant’, The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture, ed. Janet Sturman, (SAGE: 2019). CHANT In many cultures, chant is used to heighten the delivery of text in religious or ritual contexts. The musical delivery is often received as a more spiritual means of expression than the spoken word. In most cases, chant is exclusively a vocal repertoire (without instrumental accompaniment), and usually consists of a single (‘monophonic’) melody line. Although chant presents many of the attributes associated with secular musical performance—out of context, chant may sound like song—it is often not classed as ‘music’ itself: its purpose is not primarily to provide enjoyment to its listeners, but rather to add weight or ceremony to the (often sacred) words that chant accompanies, and/or to facilitate comprehension or recollection of the ritual. As such, chant is functional, reserved for use in certain ritual activities. The remainder of this entry examines a small selection of the world’s chant traditions, placing them in their historical and cultural contexts, in order to provide insight into some of the various forms and practices in which chant is used. Gregorian chant The most widespread form of plainchant in the Latin Christian West, both in the middle ages and today, is ‘Gregorian’ chant; other medieval repertories included Old Hispanic (see below), Gallican, Old Roman, Beneventan and Ambrosian chant. The name ‘Gregorian’ is misleading and stems from the once-held belief that the repertory was composed by Pope Gregory I (590-604). It is now widely accepted that ‘Gregorian’ chant cannot be traced back to Gregory I (sources contemporary to the pope provide no evidence for his involvement in composing chant or arranging the liturgy—‘liturgy’ being the regular, formal, communal acts of worship, rather than private devotion), but instead emerged in the eighth century in the Carolingian empire.

  • History 221: the Medieval Legacy
    HISTORY 221: THE MEDIEVAL LEGACY Course Information: History 221, Section 01, Fall 2010 MW 10:00-10:50, MHRA 1215 CRN: 80924 Instructor Information: Dr. Richard Barton Office: 2115 MHRA Bldg. Office phone: 334-3998 Home phone: 852-1837, no calls after 9 PM Mailbox: 2118A MHRA Email: [email protected] website: http://www.uncg.edu/~rebarton Office hours: MWF 11:00-11:50, and by appointment Course Description: This course explores the rich legacy of Medieval Europe. The Middle Ages lasted from the collapse of the Roman Empire in the west (around 500 AD) until the so-called Renaissance (14th to 16th centuries AD). This is an enormous time span, and I have no intention of trying to cover every event and every aspect of the Middle Ages. Rather, we will focus on the central core of the Middle Ages, from circa 750-1300. In so doing we will further subdivide our period into the Early Middle Ages (750-1050) and the High or Central Middle Ages (1050-1300). But the course will not primarily be about mastering a body of material; rather it will concern itself with learning to think like a historian, particularly by interpreting texts. As such we will be concerned not to present a narrative or synthesis, but rather to consider a series of problems of interpretation. Some of them are related to fundamental questions of epistemology, or how we know what we know: how do we know about the Middle Ages? What types of evidence exist, and of what quality is each category of evidence? What sorts of things does this evidence let us know about the Middle Ages, and what sorts of things does the evidentiary corpus prevent us from learning? Another broad category of questions involve the historian who asks the questions.

  • HISTORY and HISTORIANS in MEDIEVAL EUROPE Tutor: Dr Marcus Bull Structure: 10 X 2 Hour Seminars, 1 X 5000 Word Essay, 1 X 2 Hour Exam Teaching Block: 1
    Special Subject HIST 33002: Special Subject (20 Credit Points) HISTORY AND HISTORIANS IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE Tutor: Dr Marcus Bull Structure: 10 x 2 hour seminars, 1 x 5000 word essay, 1 x 2 hour exam Teaching block: 1 This Special Subject looks at the writing of history in western medieval Europe: this is not only a fascinating and much-debated subject in its own right, it is also an excellent point of entry into many facets of medieval culture. The focus is on the period c.800- .c1200, though there will be opportunities to look at earlier and later material. The main areas covered are England and France, with attention also paid to Spain, Germany, and the Latin East. We can easily take narrative historical sources for granted, and we readily associate them with our period – the word ‘chronicle’ is something that the general public will have come across even if doesn’t know much else about the Middle Ages – but things aren’t that straightforward. History was never something that one formally learned in the Middle Ages; it never became a subject in its own right in the schools and universities alongside Theology or Law. But at the same time people did sit down and write histories, so they must have believed that there were other people interested in what they had to say. Almost all of the histories that have come down to us were the result of private interest and initiative. So why did people write histories? What sorts of past were they interested in, and what uses did the past serve? What sorts of influences and models did medieval historians use? What sorts of sources did they consult? How many medieval historians were eye- witness observers of what they wrote about, and what did being an ‘eye-witness’ actually involve? The unit benefits from the easy availability of many translated sources in a variety of genres: annals, chronicles, biographies, miracle collections, crusade and travel narratives, and visual materials.

Glyn Burgess. New York: Penguin Classics, 1990. Other primary sources will be posted on Blackboard. Course Description: The purpose of this class is to learn how to historically analyze the past with particular reference to the “European Middle Ages.” Students will thus investigate what it meant to be European during the fifth through fifteenth centuries. This will be done through examining the emerging European political, social, economic, and cultural institutions, though we will reference these developments in connection to contemporary “outside” processes as well. These endeavors both enhance the student’s general intellectual growth as well as foster a particular ability to think historically. An investigation of the medieval past allows students to understand the foundations of the modern world as well as the ways modern historians view the past. Course Objectives During class times, you will be presented with a narrative of Europe from the fifth through the fifteenth centuries and its place in contemporary societies. Outside of class you will read assigned sections of a variety of primary sources from the period. These readings will develop the ability to analyze primary source material.

    Poetic/Dialectic: The Confluence of Poetry and Philosophy in St. Anselm’s Theology by Cyril Guérette A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of St. Michael’s College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College. © Copyright by Cyril Guérette 2013 Poetic/Dialectic: The Confluence of Poetry and Philosophy in St. Anselm’s Theology Cyril Guérette Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2013 ABSTRACT St. Anselm of Canterbury is an important figure in the history of both theology and philosophy. However, his distinction as a writer of poetry in his era remains hitherto under-appreciated. The thesis of this work argues that we find in St. Anselm’s body of work a confluence of poetry and philosophy that models a mode of theology valuable to the contemporary context. Utilizing a new Poetic/Dialectic Analytic methodology, it researches the literature that was most influential in Anselm’s monastic culture including the trivium curriculum, Boethius, Augustine, and the Psalmic liturgical tradition. After demonstrating a Medieval confluence of poetry and philosophy, the body of Anselm’s own work is likewise investigated, followed by an in depth poetic/dialectic analysis of his greatest work, the Proslogion. Finally, a discussion of the theontic semiotics of Anselm’s Neo-platonic participatory ontology connects his understanding of God’s nature as the source of all being with a doxological account of language that both articulates and demonstrates a form of theology that is simultaneously poetry and philosophy.
