    The Lie About the West. A Response to Professor Toynbee's challenge. By Douglas Jerrold. New York, Sheed and Ward, 1954. pp. 85. $1.75. Will the civilization of Europe and the \.Vestern Hemisphere decline and die like all others of the past, or will it rally and live? Professor Arnold Toynbee, the eminent British historian, proponent of the theory of challenge and response as the key to history, has proposed a possible answer in a recent book, The World and the T~ est. He views the present world crisis as the result of a "response" by the rest of the world (Russia and the Orient) to the "challenge" of continued Western aggression, both military and technological. Draw­ ing a parallel with the declining Roman Empire, which after numerous aggressions was converted to eastern religions-principally and finally to Christianity, he thinks it probable that the West will be converted to a new religion coming from the Orient. This will not be Commun­ ism, he adds in a letter to The Times Literary Su.pplement (April 16, 1954), but an entirely new religion which he hopes will retain the Christian belief in God as Love but will discard the notion of a jealous God and a chosen people in favor of a more universal view, borrowed perhaps from Indian Buddhism. Mr. Douglas Jerrold, another English historian, has called this doctrine a lie in his "response to Professor Toynbee "s challenge." It is a lie against fact, against reason, and against faith. It is against fact because the West was not an aggressor but was on the defensive for a thousand years against the Northmen, Magyars, and Turks; because Christianity was not and is not one of many "oriental re­ ligions" but an historical one which arose within the Roman Empire and was spread by Roman citizens; because Roman civilization was not spread merely by force of arms.

Rather than seeing time and history as a unified linear phenomenon that typology bends or tears, the HD redefines time as a plurality of units that can be arranged and rearranged like Tetris blocks to unlock the divine mysteries that connect them pp. We are truly in an exciting, transformative period of art history.

Rather than relying simply on modern studies of twelfth-century thought, she reads the original texts in some of the same ways that Abbess Herrad must have, following medieval cues in order to situate the manuscript within the Hohenbourg s wider intellectual life. Indeed, despite the study s title, the key concept that unlocks the HD s pedagogical structure is not so much time as 1Joyner compares its combination of artistic mastery and intellectual complexity to Suger s apse windows at St. Florescu, Comitatus, "Joyner has made a solid contribution to the study of twelfth-century monastic literature and to the study of the Hortus Deliciarum in particular.

Dorothy Porter and Roy Porter, Patient’s Progress: Doctors and Doctoring in Eighteenth-Century England (Cambridge: Polity, 1989), p. 11. 4. I am indebted to many previous scholars who have worked on popular healers. See particularly work by scholars such as Margaret Pelling, Roy Porter, Monica Green, Andrew Weir, Doreen Nagy, Danielle Jacquart, Nancy Siraisi, Luis García Ballester, Matthew Ramsey, Colin Jones and Lawrence Brockliss. Mary Lindemann, Merry Weisner, Katharine Park, Carole Rawcliffe and Joseph Shatzmiller have brought to light the importance of both the multiplicity of medical practitioners that have existed throughout history, and the fact that most of these were not university trained. This is in no way a complete list of the authors I have consulted in prepa- ration of this book; however, their studies have been ground-breaking in terms of stressing the importance of popular healers. 5. This collection contains excellent specialized articles on different aspects of female health-care and midwifery in medieval Iberia, and Early Modern Germany, England and France.

I am partictularily interested in that history which has left tangible evidence in the form of many castles dotting the Vosges foothills and the fortified towns which often opposed them on the fertile plains below. Not only the towns and castles themselves but the ghosts of those who lived there, their concerns, motavations, and the broader European social currents that influenced and often inundated them. I have started with a backbone of articles describing the many castles which remain ever present. These are the transition civilation existing between an early Celtic and Roman world swamped by the growth of Frankish power, and by a later Europe shaped by new cities and ideas yet retaining the legacy of feudal/aristocratic ambitions and foibles. The ruins of ideas often as present as the castles themselves. Alsace is one of those border states (as it were) always part of larger neighboring regions without necessarily a unique history of its own.

These texts challenge the normative account of suffering in Christian theology as always rooted in sin and uncover an underappreciated historical moment when Christian thinkers conceptualize suffering as intrinsic to loving God.

  • MYSTICISM Christina Van Dyke
    P1: SJT Trim: 6in 9in Top: 0.625in Gutter: 0.875in × CUUK851-52 CUUK618/Pasnau ISBN: 978 0 521 86672 9 May 20, 2009 20:18 52 MYSTICISM christina van dyke Current scholars generally behave as though the medieval traditions of mysticism and philosophy in the Latin West have nothing to do with each other; in large part, this appears to be the result of the common perception that mysticism has as its ultimate goal an ecstatic, selfless union with the divine that intellectual pursuits such as philosophy inhibit rather than support. There are, however, at least two central problems with this assumption. First, mysticism in the Middle Ages – even just within the Christian tradition1 – was not a uniform movement with a single goal: it took different forms in different parts of Europe, and those forms changed substantially from the eleventh to the fifteenth century, particularly with the increased emphasis on personal piety and the feminization of religious imagery that emerges in the later centuries.2 The belief that mysticism entails the rejection or abandonment of reason in order to merge with the divine, for instance, represents only one strain of the medieval tradition. Although this view is explicitly advocated in the Christian West by such influential figures as Meister Eckhart and Marguerite Porete, the prevalent identification of the allegorical figure of Wisdom with Christ provides the grounds for equally prominent figures such as Hildegard of 1 In several respects, mysticism played a more integral role in Arabic and Jewish philosophy than in Christian philosophy from late antiquity through the Middle Ages.

  • Metaphor and Metamorphosis in the Ovide Moralisé and Christine De Pizan's Mutacion De Fortune
    Metaphor and Metamorphosis in the Ovide moralisé and Christine de Pizan’s Mutacion de Fortune Suzanne Conklin Akbari Although it may seem hard to believe, there was a time when the works of Christine de Pizan were not widely read. These days, any survey of medieval literature that omits her works would be considered conspicu- ous and unusual. In part, of course, the awakening of interest in the writings of Christine is the result of a desire, which developed first during the early 1970s, to seek out women writers who might afford a different perspective on the familiar territory of medieval culture. Not surprisingly, the work of Christine’s that is almost invariably assigned to students is the Livre de la cité des dames,orBook of the City of Ladies.This book is not only authored by a woman, but is also explicitly devoted to the effort to promote the reputation of women in world history; as a classroom text, therefore, this is what we might call “hitting two birds with one stone.” When other selections from the writings of Christine de Pizan are provided, they are almost always the autobiographical passages that appear in her LivredelamutaciondeFortuneand in her Avision-Christine.1 Once again, the life of the medieval woman – here, Christine herself – is the focus of study, rather than the broader cultural milieu in which the works were produced. This article includes a close examination of one of these famous passages: namely, Christine’s autobiographical description of how she was transformed, at the hands of Fortune, from a woman into a man.
