After leaving Reading, travellers would sail to Galicia in north-west Spain from English ports such as Southampton and Plymouth and from the Galician coast continue on foot to Santiago in order to visit the shrine of the Apostle Saint James.

  • The One Winged Angel: an Old English Legend Tells About a One Winged Angel Who Brought the Holy Spearhead of the Crucifixion to Caversham
    Artist’s notes on the art work for the Shrine of Our Lady of Caversham. This explanation has been written by the artist, Marcelo Lavallen, who dedicated the summer of 2017 to decorating the Shrine of Our Lady of Caversham, to help those who travel here to pray and to leave their petitions with Our Lady of Caversham. The Bridge Mural In the centre is the old Caversham Bridge spanning the River Thames and its swans, with Saint Anne’s Chapel on one end; this chapel was built from 1219-1231 by Reading Abbey and the Lord of the Manor of Caversham. Nobles, religious, peasants and ailing characters crossing the bridge represent the history of pilgrims travelling to Caversham through the ages. 1. King Henry II, 1207-1272 : he donated, among many gifts, the oak for ferries to carry pilgrims to Caversham and for the roof of the original shrine. Notice the oak pattern on his robe. 2. William Marshal. Earl of Pembroke, 1147-1219, with a burning lamp in his hand, as his requested condition for the donation of land. 3. Queen Catherine of Aragon, 1485-1536, a devotee of Our Lady of Caversham; holding a pomegranate, her heraldic symbol, chosen when still a princess, from her parent’s heraldic arms. Isabel and Fernando added the pomegranate to the arms following the conquest of Granada. 4. Blessed Abbot Hugh Faringdon, martyr, and the last Benedictine abbot of Reading Abbey, 1539. 5. Royal Boat, with Dr John London, envoy of Thomas Cromwell sent to close down the shrine (Sept 14th 1538) and ship all religious images to London.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

    Reading Abbey Background: “Henry I built this monastery between the rivers Kennet and Thames in a spot calculated for the reception of almost all who might have occasion to reveal to the more populous cities of England” - William Malmesbury 12th century chronicler 1121- Henry I founds Reading Abbey King Henry I announced that he wanted a new abbey built at Reading. The abbey would have a large and impressive church, and living quarters for dozens of monks, who would worship in the church. The abbey would transform Reading forever turning a market town into an important religious centre known across Western Europe. Henry chose a site on the edge of the town on high ground between the Rover Kennet and the River Thames. The rivers would be used to transport stone during the building work. The major roads leading to reading would make it easy for pilgrims to travel to the abbey, and for Henry to visit as he travelled around his kingdom. Historians suggest many reasons why henry founded a new community: • He had led a violent and turbulent life, and this was his way of trying to make his peace with God • He was shaken by the death of his only legitimate heir, William who drowned in a shipwreck • He wanted to create a place of burial for himself and his family • He wanted to put his name to a large and impressive building, so his subjects would see how rich and powerful he was • He wanted monks to pray for his soul after he was dead • He wanted to be remembered by future generations Building the Abbey Reading abbey was built with flint for the core of the walls and stone for the elegant facings.

  • The Humanist Leonard Cox on the Edge of National Historiographies∗
    “MORE EMINENT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAN AT HOME”: THE HUMANIST LEONARD COX ON THE EDGE OF NATIONAL HISTORIOGRAPHIES∗ Peter FEDORČÁK∗∗ Abstract. The wandering humanist Leonard Cox (c. 1496 - c. 1548) influenced the history of England, Poland and Hungary and, as a result, features in their historiographies, to varying degrees. This study deals with Cox’s place in Anglo-American, Polish, Slovak and Hungarian historiographies. In these sources, Cox is presented from various locally relevant points of view and in the frame of the local historiographical tradition. This study analyses the main writings focusing on the biography of Leonard Cox, as well as passing mentions of him in historiographies of other important contemporaneous figures. Its main goal is to present Cox’s life and work through the writings of other authors, whose works are responsible for creating the picture we have today of this important educator and reformist. Keywords: Leonard Cox, Humanism, Renaissance, historiography, sixteenth century. Introduction In 1899,1 the first biography of the humanist Leonard Cox (c. 1496 - c. 1548) was written by the philologer and historian of the early modern English language, Frederic Ives Carpenter, a professor at the University of Chicago. His paper began the historiography of this English scholar and pedagogue which, to date, consists of around a dozen main articles which paint the contemporary picture of Cox’s life and work, these main articles being elsewhere repeated in the secondary literature. Due to Cox’s travels through many European countries, such as England, France, The Low Countries (?), Germany, the Czech Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Austria (?) and Wales, he became part of their histories and thus of their (national) historiographies.
