    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn's Copenhagen
    Charles University in Prague Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Memory and Uncertainty in Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen Diploma thesis Tereza Lesáková Secondary School Teacher Education (En – Cz) Supervisor: PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D. Prague 2014 I declare that I have worked on this final thesis independently using only the primary and secondary sources listed in the works cited section. I would like to thank my supervisor, PhDr. Petr Chalupský, Ph.D, for his kind help and valuable advice and Mgr. Jindřich Soukup for his suggestions concerning physics. Abstract The thesis is an attempt to explore various ways in which Michael Frayn employs the philosophical implications of Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and Niels Bohr’s complementarity principle in his play Copenhagen and to find out how he works with the theme of memory in the text. The theoretical part puts the play into the frame of the science theatre genre and offers a brief overview of depiction of memory in literature. The practical part then analyses the theme of memory in connection with quantum physics in the text and covers the development of our perception of the characters. Key words: Frayn, Copenhagen, uncertainty, memory, science theatre Abstrakt Diplomová práce je pokusem prozkoumat, jakými způsoby Michael Frayn ve své divadelní hře Kodaň aplikoval filosofické důsledky Heisenbergova principu neurčitosti a Bohrovy komplementarity a jak pracuje s tématem paměti. Teoretická část hru zasazuje do kontextu žánru science theatre a nabízí stručný přehled zobrazování paměti v literatuře. Praktická část analyzuje spojení paměti a kvantové fyziky v textu a popisuje, jak se mění naše hodnocení postav.

  • Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt
    Essay on the Study of Literature. London, T. Becket & P. A. De Hondt, in the Strand. MDCCLXI To EDWARD GIBBON, Esq;[1] Dear Sir, No performance is, in my opinion, more contemptible than a Dedication of the common sort; when some great man is presented with a book, which, if Science be the subject, he is inca- pable of understanding; if polite Literature, incapable of tasting: and this honor is done him, as a reward for virtues, which he neither does, nor desires to, possess. I know but two kinds of ded- ications, which can do honor either to the patron or author. The first is, when an unexperienced writer addresses himself to a master of the art, in which he endeavours to excel; whose example he is ambitious of imitating; by whose advice he has been directed, or whose approbation he is anxious to deserve. The other sort is yet more honorable. It is dictated by the heart, and offered to some person who is dear to us, because he ought to be so. It is an opportunity we embrace with pleasure of making public those sentiments of esteem, of friendship, of gratitude, or of all together, which we really feel, and which therefore we desire should be known. I hope, dear Sir, my past conduct will easily lead you to discover to what principle you should attribute this epistle; which, if it surprises, will, I hope, not displease you. If I am capable of pro- ducing any thing worthy the attention of the public, it is to you that I owe it; to that truly paternal care which, from the first dawnings of my reason, has always watched over my education, and afforded me every opportunity of improvement.

Stolz, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2010 Isaac of Stella (ca. 1IOO-ca. 1169), an English-born Cistercian and abbot, has been dwarfed by Bernard of Clairvaux and other ofhis twelfth-century Cistercian contemporaries in terms ofliterary output and influence, giving him a reputation as an elusive and marginal figure. Isaac's 55 sermons and two treatises are modest compared to the productivity of other monastic writers and his position as the abbot of an obscure monastery in western France has not helped to raise his visibility among the luminaries of the twelfth century. He is remembered as a mysterious and often tragic figure in the annals ofhistory.

  • Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160-1220
    TRANSLATION, CANONIZATION, AND THE CULT OF THE SAINTS IN ENGLAND, 1160-1220 Elizabeth Hasseler A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History (Medieval History). Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Marcus G. Bull Brett E. Whalen Robert G. Babcock © 2014 Elizabeth Hasseler ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Elizabeth Hasseler: Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160- 1220 (Under the direction of Marcus G. Bull and Brett E. Whalen) The twelfth century marked a significant change in the way that saints were made. While previously sanctification had been a primarily local phenomenon, overseen by local bishops through the ritual practice of translation, throughout the twelfth century the development of formalized, juridical canonization processes allowed the papacy to oversee the process of making a new saint. This thesis addresses the nature of this shift, arguing that even as canonization proceedings became more common, the ritual of translation still retained significance as an act of local cult building. Focusing on the cults of Edward the Confessor and Thomas Becket, both of whom were canonized by the papacy and subsequently translated by their communities, this study will show that the translation ceremony remained significant through the twelfth century as a moment at which saints were commemorated, their lives narrated, and their remains enshrined within the sacral landscape of the community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks go first of all to my family and friends who have supported me throughout my time in school.

  • God Did It: a History
    GOD DID IT: A HISTORY The Words & Deeds of the Followers of Jesus Christ By: Peter Bormuth Copyright 2011 – all rights reserved “But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” -Jesus of Nazareth Matthew (7: 17-18) 2000 BC – Luxor On the walls of the temple of Luxor are images of the conception, birth, and adoration of the divine child god Horus with Thoth announcing to the virgin (unmarried) Isis that she will conceive Horus with Kneph, the Holy Ghost impregnating the virgin, and with the infant being attended by three kings or magi bearing gifts. The Egyptians knew that the three wise men were the stars Mintaka, Anilam, and Alnitak in the belt of Orion but the star wisdom that is the basis of the story fails to be transferred into the Christian myth. Everything else is plagiarized. 780 BC – Dodona She was a priestess who came from Thebes to set up an oracle for the barbarian Greeks who did not remember their own history. In an oak forest she finds a clearing with a single oak tree that has an intermittent spring gushing forth at its feet. It also happens to be at a certain latitude. Here she founds the shrine of Zeus and trains three priestesses, called doves, who enter a trance and prophesize without remembering what they have said. 2 BC – Qumran While the Jesus myth is borrowed from the Egyptians the morality of Christianity comes from the Essenes.
