  • 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.

  • The Southern Defences of Rochester Revisited
    The southern defences of Rochester revisited Early in 1344, the king was presented with a petition from the prior and convent of Rochester. The monks had come up with a plan to reconfigure the defences around the south-east side of the city. Since the city belonged to the king, they needed the king's permission; but that was not all they wanted. The king, they suggested, should give them the existing city ditch, outside the existing city wall, between the east gate of the city towards Canterbury (i.e. towards the east) and the prior's gate towards the south. If the king was willing to do that, the monks, in return, would build a new city wall, at their own expense, on their own land, outside the old ditch (which they intended to fill up), and dig a new ditch, outside the new wall; and they would undertake, for themselves and their successors for ever, to keep the new wall in repair. The monks' petition (doc 1) does not survive in the original,* but the gist of it is known from three documents which do. These are they: (doc 2) a letter from the king to the constable of the castle, John de Cobham, dated 28 Apr 1344, ordering him to convene a jury of citizens to inquire into the matter; (doc 3) the report of this inquiry, dated 12 May 1344, to the effect that the jurors see no reason why the king should not approve the monks' proposal; (doc 4) an open letter from the king, dated 23 Apr [sic]† 1344, letting it be known that he has given the monks permission to proceed.

  • 2 Social Aspects of the Ravenna Papyri: the Social Structure of the P
    FRAGMENTS FROM THE PAST A social-economic survey of the landholding system in the Ravenna Papyri NIELS PAUL ARENDS Fragments from the past A social-economic survey of the landholding system in the Ravenna Papyri Niels Paul Arends Universiteit Leiden 2018 Acknowledgements I would like to thank dr. Rens Tacoma who, at one point, invited me to write a thesis about the Ravenna Papyri, a topic that has, for at least the last one and a half year, gotten my full attention. I want to thank him and Prof. Dr. Dominic Rathbone for all the commentaries given on this work, their helpful comments, and for their tips and tricks. It is to my understanding that they have enlightened me with their vast ‘know-how’ of this specific topic, and that I, certainly, could not have done it without their help. Further, I want to thank my parents, Els Loef and Paul Arends, who have given me helpful comments as well, although it is has been their ongoing support for my study that helped me even more. Lastly, I want to thank Marielle de Haan, who has been a great proofreader, and has given me the attention when I needed it most. N., 27-6-2018 Cover picture: P. Ital. 10-11 A, taken from J. O.

  • Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England a Revised
    BEDE'S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND A REVISED TRANSLATION WITH INTRODUCTION, LIFE, AND NOTES BY A. M. SELLAR LATE VICE-PRINCIPAL OF LADY MARGARET HALL, OXFORD LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1907 EDITOR'S PREFACE The English version of the "Ecclesiastical History" in the following pages is a revision of the translation of Dr. Giles, which is itself a revision of the earlier rendering of Stevens. In the present edition very considerable alterations have been made, but the work of Dr. Giles remains the basis of the translation. The Latin text used throughout is Mr. Plummer's. Since the edition of Dr. Giles appeared in 1842, so much fresh work on the subject has been done, and recent research has brought so many new facts to light, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the notes almost entirely, and to add a new introduction. After the appearance of Mr. Plummer's edition of the Historical Works of Bede, it might seem superfluous, for the present at least, to write any notes at all on the "Ecclesiastical History." The present volume, however, is intended to fulfil a different and much humbler function. There has been no attempt at any original work, and no new theories are advanced. The object of the book is merely to present in a short and convenient form the substance of the views held by trustworthy authorities, and it is hoped that it may be found useful by those students who have either no time or no inclination to deal with more important works. Among the books of which most use has been made, are Mr.

  • Parish Churches in the Diocese of Rochester, C. 1320-C. 1520
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society PARISH CHURCHES IN THE DIOCESE OF ROCHESTER, c. 1320 - c. 1520 COLIN FLIGHT The core of this article is an alphabetical list of the parish churches belonging to the diocese of Rochester in the fifteenth century. Their distribution is shown by the accompanying map (Fig. 1). More precisely, the list as it stands describes the situation existing c. 1420; but information is also provided which will enable the reader to modify the list so that it describes the situation existing at any other chosen date between c. 1320 and c. 1520. Though many of the facts reported here may seem sufficiently well-known, the author is not aware of any previously published list which can claim to be both comprehensive in scope and accurate in detail. The information given below is all taken from primary sources, or, failing that, from secondary sources closely dependent on the primary sources. Where there is some uncertainty, this is stated. Apart from these admittedly doubtful points, the list is believed to be perfectly reliable. Readers who notice any errors or who can shed any further light on the areas of uncertainty should kindly inform the author. Before anything else, it needs to be understood that a large part of the diocese of Rochester did not come under the bishop's jurisdict- ion. More than thirty parishes, roughly one quarter of the total number, were subject to the archbishop of Canterbury. They constit- uted what was called the deanery of Shoreham.
