Owen 1976 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality 459" PART THR : REPRE$ EIJTATIONS IN ART A. INTRODUCTION: SOURCES AND ORGANIZATION 1. Illuminated manuscripts The earliest surviving Anglo-Saxon illuminated manuscripts, which are Gospel Books and a Bible from seventh-century Northumbria, offer no information about contemporary costume, since their ornamental repertoire consists of decorative patterns inherited from Irish Christian and pagan Anglo-Saxon traditions, and/or figures derived from Mediterranean models. The earliest illu- minations which may possibly show contemporary clothing occur in eighth-century works: the Vespasian Psalter (BM MS Cotton Vespasian Ai), a product of the Canterbury School, and the Book of Kells (Codex Cenannensic )a Gospel Book possibly ) produced in Pictland, under Northumbrian and Irish influence. The potential evidence in the former lies not in the well-known full-page miniature of King David and his musicians, which is the product of iconographical traditions, but in a historiated initial depicting David and Jonathan. The figures in the initial have no known source2 and their costume may therefore have been influenced from life. Similarly, evidence from Keils depends not on the elaborate miniatures, but on figures in minor decora- tions, including an initial. These early examples are isolated cases, however. Much more evidence is to be derived from the many manuscripts illu- minated in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Artists of this period continued to depict Christ and the Evangelists in sub- classical, draped garments; observers and minor.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.
