Stay Connected. Hello and Welcome, In January of 2018, Ringling College of Art and Design was chosen by the Bernard Osher Foundation to join a prestigious group of 120 other American colleges and universities operating their lifelong learning programs as Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes. Along with the Osher affiliation came a new name: the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Ringling College, or OLLI at Ringling College. The Bernard Osher Foundation awarded Ringling College of Art and Design an initial grant to support our efforts to develop a stronger sense of community among our learners through volunteerism, leadership development, active membership, and further integration with Ringling College. (See p. 15 for membership details.) The Osher affiliation provides valuable operational insight through relationships and shared experiences with other OLLI programs across the nation. In the spring of 2019, we will apply for a major endowment from the Osher Foundation that will provide ongoing financial support for all of these initiatives. In addition to our name change, the following changes have occurred as a result of our receiving the initial Osher Foundation grant: We now have two types of membership: Gold and Silver Upon course registration, all students will be classified as Silver members. No additional fees are required for this membership level. Students who wish to support the program, and have an enhanced membership experience, can enroll as a Gold Member for an annual fee of $85. Gold membership is a fantastic way to support the program, save money, and meet new friends. (See p. 5 for a full list of Gold and Silver Member benefits.) Rhonda Stapleton hired as the Membership and Community Education Coordinator Rhonda’s primary responsibilities are to explore ways in which we will maintain quality programming and encourage community building while expanding our educational offerings and attracting a wider student community. (See p. 6 to learn more about Rhonda Stapleton.) To be successful in these efforts, we will also look within our membership for volunteers who wish to take on leadership roles and help forge the path to our bright future. (See p. 15 for volunteer information.) We hope we have left no doubt that being designated an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is truly a prestigious national recognition. However, we want to be very clear that this recognition could not have happened had YOU not chosen to support our lifelong learning program as students, volunteers, and donors over these past 20 years. Thank you. We look forward to having you with us as we proceed on this fascinating new journey together.

I suppose the archbishop can be granted on the grounds of poetic licence but a duke of Monmouth (e.g. p. 34 7) does have me a little worried as a medievalist and not by the anachronistic pre-echo of the title of Charles II's bastard. On a simple fact of historical accuracy, I should point out that whereas the title was known on the continent - duke ofNormandy, duke of Saxony, duke of Brittany etc - up to 1337 the title of' 'duke' was unknown among English aristocratic nomenclature. The first award was to Edward III's eldest son (the Black Prince) as 'duke' of Cornwall (hitherto the duchy had been an earldom). The second ducal title was to Henry Grosmont elevated as 'Duke of Lancaster' in 1361. He too was of royal blood being in the direct male descent from Henry III's son Edmund Crouchback. His father the second earl of course lost his head after his defeat at the battle of Boroughbridge.

  • INTRODUCTION to Many Franciscans, the Situation Looked
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION To many Franciscans, the situation looked dire in the 1320s. Some, notably the so-called Spiritual Franciscans, had already been marginalized in the previous decade, and the outlook had not improved since then. It was, as Angelo Clareno thought, the time of the sixth and seventh tribulations since the days of St Francis.1 Others, notably the emerging Michaelist faction, were in transition from cooperating with the pope,John XXII (1316–1334), to outright defiance because of his pronouncements about Franciscan and evangelical poverty.2 In many ways, the Michaelist–John controversy was the last great phase of Franciscan thought about poverty and property. The debate never died out entirely, and it exerted a profound influence on subsequent theologians and jurists alike, but the Michaelists failed to attract enough adherents to their cause to effect any meaningful change. Nonetheless, the 1320s and early 1330s were a period of fruitful reflection about poverty—and, by the same token, property rights. It has for this reason attracted a great deal of attention by modern scholars. Yet this attention has been uneven, partly due to the length of the texts involved, and partly because many of them remained unedited (and untrans- lated) for so long. Pope John XXII has certainly not been neglected, but even his bull Quia vir reprobus (1329) has not always received the consideration it merits.3 William of Ockham has of course received the lion's share of the scrutiny, not wholly without reason. His Opus nonaginta dierum of about 1 See Historia, trib. 6–7 (288–309).

    AP Euro Summer Skills Packet: Complete the following activities – all activities due on the first day of school. The Calamitous 14th Century: Was it that bad? (AP) Directions: In A Distant Mirror, Barbara Tuchman describes “a violent, tormented, bewildered, suffering and disintegrating age” known as the Dark Ages. Read about the various events associated with the Late Middle Ages and rank them in order of importance from 1 to 8 in creating a dark period in European History and then explain the most impactful event. The Babylonian Captivity (1309-1378): During this time period, the Pope moved from Rome (Italy) to Avignon (France) known as the Avignon Papacy. This initiated a series of seven French popes who reigned from Avignon, and who generally favored France. The city of Rome was left destitute. A contemporary account noted: “… living in [Avignon], in the Babylon of the West . Here reign the successors of the poor fishermen of Galilee [who] have strangely forgotten their origin. …to see these men loaded with gold and clad in purple, boasting of the spoils of princes and nations; to see luxurious palaces and heights crowned with fortifications, instead of a boat turned downwards for [their] shelter. .” Hundred Years War (1337-1453): During most of the middle ages, wars had been short and small in scale. In the 14th century, a new trend developed as a series of conflicts between the English and the French known as the Hundred Years’ War (1337 to 1453) occurred. In 1328, Charles IV, the son of Philip the Fair, died. An assembly of French barons gave the crown to Philip VI of Valois, the nephew of Philip the Fair.

Stories of their miracle working continued after their deaths. They traveled throughout the area now known as Turkey and tended to those who were ill and injured, refusing any payment from those they helped.

November 1: Saint Theodota of Mesopotamia – Saint Theodota was the mother of martyrs Cosmas and Damian. It was Theodota who taught her sons scripture and helped them to become physicians.
