  • Brother David Steindl-Rast Papers
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Brother David Steindl-Rast Papers 1926-2010 22 boxes (33 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 892 Collection overview Brother David Steindl-Rast was born Franz Kuno in Vienna, Austria, in 1926. He discovered The Rule of St. Benedict as a young man, which sent him on a search for an authentic version of Benedictine practice. This search brought him through the Second World War in Vienna, where he earned a Ph.D from the University of Vienna in 1952 and to the Mount Savior Monastery in Elmira, New York, where he became a monk in 1953. Along with his friend Thomas Merton, Brother David is one of the most important figures in the modern interfaith dialogue movement, leaving Mount Savior in the mid-1960s to study Zen Buddhism with Hakuun Yajutami, Shunayu Suzuki, and Soen Nakagawa. He was the first Benedictine to learn directly from Buddhist teachers and received Vatican support for his bridge-building work in 1967. Through Merton, Brother David met Thich Nhat Hanh, who introduced him to the peace movement and grounded Brother David's spirituality in a tradition of activism. When not in seclusion, Brother David has served as a teacher of contemplative prayer, the intersection of Zen and Catholicism, and gratefulness as a spiritual practice. Through many books and articles, lectures, and residencies in spiritual centers like Tassajara and the Esalen Institute, Brother David has developed an influential philosophy and much of the current popularity of mindfulness and Zen-influenced living and activism owes a debt to his teachings.

  • Accounts of the Raid on Lindisfarne
    Accounts of the Raid on Lindisfarne In the year 793 CE, Viking ships attacked the monastery at Lindisfarne on the east coast of England. Below are excerpts from some accounts of the raid: "Here Beorhtric [AD 786-802] took King Offa's daughter Eadburh. And in his days there came for the first time 3 ships; and then the reeve rode there and wanted to compel them to go to the king's town, because he did not know what they were; and they killed him. Those were the first ships of the Danish men which sought out the land of the English race." Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Winchester MS) Such is the entry for AD 789, written by the chronicler a hundred years later. The king's reeve is said to have ridden to the harbor at Portland on the southwest coast of England, thinking the strangers to be traders whom he then would escort to the royal manor at Dorchester. (Even though the chronicler identifies the raiders as Danes, the term, like Northmen, was used generically to signify all Scandinavian invaders. The early Vikings tended to be Norwegian, although it was the Danes, who began their pillaging in AD 835, from whom the English suffered the most.) A few years later, there is another entry, even more ominous, this time for AD 793. "Here terrible portents came about over the land of Northumbria, and miserably frightened the people: these were immense flashes of lightening, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air. A great famine immediately followed these signs; and a little after that in the same year on 8 June the raiding of heathen men miserably devastated God's church in Lindisfarne island by looting and slaughter." Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Petersborough MS) The Vikings attack on the holy island of Lindisfarne off the northern coast of Northumbria is the earliest recorded and the best known of the Viking raids in the west.

  • Introduction: Intertidal Zone and Tides
    Introduction: Intertidal zone and tides People have been populating and using the coast and intertidal zone as a resource since prehistoric times. As a consequence, there are many different kinds of archaeological features to explore in the intertidal and coastal zone. Unlike terrestrial sites, the archaeology in the intertidal zone is not made up of layers; features from prehistory and the modern day can be found on the same horizon, adjacent to each other but separated by thousands of years in date. In addition, the anaerobic conditions created in the intertidal zone mean that finds and features which usually don’t survive, frequently do survive, such as Bronze Age sewn-plank boats and wooden trackways. This booklet of information and activity ideas has been created by Megan Clement from the Heritage Lottery Funded Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network (www.citizan.org.uk ) to support the 2017 Young Archaeologists’ Club Leaders’ Weekend. It provides inspiration to help you explore the rich archaeology of the coastal and intertidal zone with groups of young people. Intertidal zone The intertidal zone is the part of the foreshore which gets covered by the sea at high tide and is uncovered at low tide. The area which makes up the intertidal zone can vary dramatically in size. The height of the tide varies too. The Severn Estuary for instance has the largest tidal range in the UK (and the second largest in the world) at 14m. The tidal range is the name given to the difference in the height of the water between low tide and high tide.

I, together with the rest of the committee, hope that you are all managing to steer clear of the horrid Covid-19 virus. The current situation means, of course, that we have had to cancel our branch AGM on 25 April, we don’t know whether the current restrictions on meeting will still be in place by then, but we have to assume that they, or something very similar, will. One further change to report is that Tony Walker has chosen to stand down as editor of this Bulletin. Tony has been a stalwart of the branch committee for many years and has given freely of his time over many aspects of our activities.

  • FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO
    DORSET FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO. 70 Spring 2015 ABBOTSBURY – A MODERN FEUDAL VILLAGE ’m sure that many of you have been on walks through this picturesque village, and not just those from ISouth Dorset Group. If you haven’t then you have missed some of the best scenic views in the county. From the ridge above Abbotsbury, leading to the iron-age fort (c.500 BC), you have a magnificent panorama before you with the coast and the fleet on one side and the rolling Dorset landscape on the other. On a clear day you can easily see Portland Bill and in the other direction, with good eyesight, Start Point in Cornwall. So for those who know Abbotsbury, and for those yet to discover this gem, here’s a little background leading to an explanation of the title of this piece. In the days before Sky Sports, Match of the Day etc. most young men seem to have spent their spare time in the popular pursuits of raping and pillaging – frowned on today but very popular at the end of the first millennium. One such enthusiast was called Orc (nothing to do with Tolkien) who was very close to the then lord of these parts, King Canute, who led the last Viking invasion of Wessex. You may remember he was the first Eurosceptic who tried to send the sea back to France (1:0 to the French I think). However to reward Orc for all his hard work and loyal service King Canute gave him a sizeable chunk of land encompassing Abbotsbury, Portesham and in fact most of South Dorset.
