In the years since I undertook this assessment, my research has concentrated increasingly on historiography, causing this work to become a discussion of the ways in which changing scholarly interpretations over the past three centuries have shaped our vision of the early medieval past. While highlighting some aspects of the mortuary rites that appear more securely understood, I have also pointed to the manner in which the evidence has been misused and appropriated to support causes entirely unrelated to the populations being excavated. Many of these interpretations have overshadowed the context from which the grave remains were unearthed in the first place. Rather than providing a comprehensive account of the archaeological evidence, a task that would require multiple volumes to reveal the complexity of this, above all, local and personal rite, I wanted to compose a work focusing on the ways in which personal bias and national agendas have shaped readings of the mortuary evidence. My own outlook being no exception, I nonetheless hope that this piece will further debates on the importance of multi-disciplinarity in the interpretation of early medieval sources, such as the spirited conversations already begun in the context of undertakings such as the European Science Foundation’s “Transformation of the Roman World” project (1993–97). In order to accomplish this goal, it will be necessary to overcome the national and disciplinary boundaries that currently divide the field. The successful completion of this project rests in large part on the generosity of a great number of institutions and individuals. During my graduate ― xiv ― studies at UCLA, a Deutsche Akademisches Austauschdienst Stipendium (1991–92), a History Departmental Fellowship (1992–93), and an Edward A. Dickson Fellowship (1993–94) allowed me to research and write my dissertation at the Monumenta Germaniae historica, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Bibliothèque nationale, and UC Berkeley. An Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta (July 1994–December 1995) enabled me to continue work on the project with a reduced teaching load. I revised significant portions of the manuscript during a semester’s residency at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France (Fall 1997), and with a Berkshire Summer Fellowship at the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute at Radcliffe College (Summer 1998). I completed the project with a Sylvan C. Coleman and Pamela Coleman Memorial Fund Fellowship during my year at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2001–02), supported also by Title F leave at SUNY Binghamton. Interaction with and feedback from colleagues at these wonderful institutions were a source of inspiration for much of the rethinking of this project. A Bernadotte E. Schmitt grant from the American Historical Association (1995) provided funding for many of the photographs reproduced in this volume; Chantal Dulos, Melanie Holcomb, Patrick Périn, and Françoise Vallet helped greatly in tracking down photographs related to early archaeological excavations. Franz Siegmeth and Falko Daim likewise made possible the production of a site map for the volume. Financial support from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (1996–2001) has also been pivotal to the realization of this project. Five Summer Research Fellowships, in addition to multiple 3 of 193 7/22/2006 1:55 AM Merovingian Mortuary Archaeology and the Making of the Early Middl... http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=kt967nd088&chunk.id=0&doc.... Faculty Development Fund and Graduate School Seed grants, enabled me to purchase software as well as pursue research and travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts; Paris; Munich; and Brussels at crucial stages of the project. In particular, I am grateful to Steve Hansen, Ellen Nore, Wayne Santoni, and David Steinberg for their assistance in my continued search for the funding that has made completion of this monograph possible sooner instead of later. I also wish to thank Jean-Pierre Mileur, Don Quataert, and Dick Trexler for smoothing my transition to SUNY Binghamton during the final stages of book production. Wulf Kansteiner and Sonja Wolf were incredibly generous in opening their home to me weekly in preparation for my move and making me feel like a part of their family. My debts to colleagues, friends, and family are many, and I cannot begin ― xv ― to thank everyone by name in this short space. To start, I wish to acknowledge Richard and Mary Rouse, without whose warm encouragement and sponsorship this project would have never been pursued. The guidance and inspiration of Patrick Geary and Alain Dierkens from the early days of thesis writing were invaluable to directing my approach to the material covered. Guy Halsall and Frans Theuws both gave very generously of their time to comment on the monograph as it emerged, providing me with thoughtful critiques, friendly advice, and hospitality even when they disagreed with my interpretation of the data. Their influence may be seen in the pages that follow. Peter Brown, Cindy Fulton, Marian Rogers, and Kate Toll gave much needed guidance and editorial direction along the path to completion. Nina Caputo and Isabel Moreira read and helped me improve various chapters and were incredibly devoted confidantes and supporters. David Conradsen provided insight into the world of collecting, museums, and connoisseurship. Max Diesenberger, Dave Harden, Matthias Hardt, Heinrich Härke, Christian Lohmer, Frederick Paxton, Cécile Treffort, and Bailey Young likewise raised important questions and indicated missing bibliography along the way.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

    SCB text 14/1 5/3/02 10:06 am Page 51 S & CB (2002), 14, 51–77 0954–4194 JAN J. BOERSEMA Why is Francis of Assisi the patron saint of ecologists? In 1967 the historian Lynn White proposed St. Francis as a patron saint for ecologists. In this article I subject his recommendation to a critical analysis. I set out by reviewing the arguments presented by White in favour of Francis as ecology’s patron saint and go on to consider whether White’s portrait of St. Francis is accurate. This takes us back to the medieval setting of St. Francis’ life and to written sources of that era, and brings us to a consideration of the difference between saints and ecologists/ environmental scientists. My conclusion from this comparison is that this medieval man’s outlook on the natural world is realms apart from that held by practitioners of modern ecology and environmental science, but perhaps less far removed from the perspectives of self-styled ‘deep ecologists’. Has Francis then rightly become the patron saint of those for whom ecology (in the sense of the environmental issue) has become a new religion, but wrongly for ‘ordinary’ ecologists and other environmental scientists? Can St. Francis still serve as a source of inspiration for the latter, or are they not in need of a patron? Finally, the question of whether this is more than merely a historical or terminological issue is addressed. Keywords: St. Francis; patron saint; saints and nature; ecology; environmental scientist; spiritual life. Introduction “I propose Francis as a patron saint for ecologists”.

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • Petit Tour De Suisse Des Eaux Transfrontières
    Petit tour de Suisse des eaux transfrontières On a coutume de dire que la Suisse est le château d'eau de l'Europe. En tout cas, chaque année, ce sont en moyenne quelque 52 milliards de mètres cubes d'eau qui sortent du périmètre national pour entrer dans un pays voisin. Mais il faut savoir aussi qu'un quart environ de ce volume provient de cours d'eau étrangers, tels l'Arve française ou les innombrables affluents allemands du bassin du Rhin avant sa sortie de Suisse. À regarder de près la frontière helvétique 1, on voit qu'un bon cinquième de son tracé se superpose à celui d'un cours d'eau, celui du Rhin en particulier, ou avec la ligne transversale de grands réservoirs transfrontières comme le Lac de Constance et le Léman (à quoi il faudrait ajouter un grand nombre de glaciers alpins dont la crête correspond souvent aux limites sud du pays, principalement entre le Valais et l'Italie). On trouvera ici un inventaire succinct des principaux cours d'eau suisses qui font partiellement office de frontière nationale, des points précis où certains d'entre eux pénètrent en Suisse et/ou en sortent, et de quelques-unes des particularités précisément liées au partage des eaux transfrontières. 2 En remontant le Rhin À tout seigneur tout honneur. Ce tour de Suisse commence par le Rhin, à Bâle, là où au rythme moyen de plus d'un million de litres par seconde sortent de Suisse les eaux provenant de plusieurs grands sous-bassins versants (Aar, Reuss, Limmat) qui recouvrent pas moins de 59 % du territoire national.

Fischbach Tag der Verkündigung des Prüfungsergebnisses:11.12.2002 „Außerdem haben wir uns dem globalen Wasserproblem zu spät intensiv gewidmet. Die Frage, wie wir auf der Welt mit dem Wasser umgehen, wird an vielen Orten über Krieg und Frieden mitentscheiden. Daß wir Wasser immer noch als Trans- portmittel für Fäkalien und Industrieabwasser benutzen, um sie nachher aufwendig und unter hohem Energieverbrauch in der Kläranlage wieder herauszuholen, ist doch keine zukunftsfähige Lösung. Das kann kein Modell für Megastädte in den Entwicklungsländern mit 20 Millionen Einwohner sein.“ Der ehemalige Rheindurchschwimmer Klaus Töpfer in einem Interview in der FR v. 26.1.98 anläßlich seines Wechsels zum Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen (Unep) Vorwort Der Arbeit „Geschichte des Gewässerschutzes am Hoch- und Oberrhein“ liegen folgende Beweggründe des Bearbeiters zugrunde: • Begeisterung für das Element Wasser und Gewässerlandschaften in all ihren Erscheinungsformen. • Die Hoffnung, daß man noch zu meinen Lebzeiten ohne jede Bedenken im Verlauf des gesamten Rheins baden gehen kann. • Die persönliche Erfahrung, durch die Auseinandersetzung mit Ge- schichte Anregung für gegenwärtige Probleme zu finden („zu lernen“). • Die Freude an der Erkenntnis von Zusammenhängen. • Die Vermutung, daß zukünftige Generationen ohne eine ressourcen- schonende Kreislaufwirtschaft kein sozial- und wirtschaftlich angemes- senes Leben werden führen können.
