J., And His Mission of the Guardian Angel of Chicago (L'ange Gardien), A. D. 1696-1699: A Paper Read Before a Joint Meeting of the Chicago Historical Society and the Evanston Historical Society in the Chicago Historical Society Building, November 27, 1906 It is my purpose to tell you what I have been able to learn of one of these men, a Jesuit missionary pierre francois pinet, and of his Chicago mis sion, the mission OF the guardian angel, where, over two hundred years ago, near the western shore of Lake Michigan, he began his labors among the Indian tribes of our state. Two and a half centuries form but a brief epoch in the histories of many countries of the old world. A like space of time not only covers the entire written history of Illinois, but reaches into such remote antiquity that we find no record. We all know that the written history of Illinois begins with the expedition of Father Marquette and Joliet in the year 1673. The histories of Illinois also tell us that twenty-seven years later, in the year 1700, the first permanent settlements in our state began with the founding of two Catholic missions by Father Pinet at Cahokia and Kaskaskia, but the writers fail to record the fact that on the western shore of Lake Michigan, which in these modern days of Chicago's greatness we call The North Shore, and within two miles of the city limits of Evanston, this same Father Pinet in the year 1696, twenty-three years after the first expedition of Marquette, four years before Cahokia or Kaskaskia were thought of, ninety-four years before the first perma nent white settler* built his log cabin at Chicago, and over thirty-five years before the birth of Washington, founded his first Illinois Mission among the Miami Indians on the bank of what was then an inland lake and which in these days we call The Skokie, - with one exception the oldest mission in the state of Illinois. Father Pinet, who founded this North Shore mission, was a typical member of the Society of Jesus and of that great company of Jesuit missionaries who played such important parts in all the history of New France, and especially in that of the Northwest.

Download or read book Eustache Deschamps written by Eustache Deschamps and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major French poet to disassociate lyric poetry from its musical setting, Eustache Deschamps gives poetry a value independent of music. This work, Deschamps' ars poetica, examines many aspects of medieval attitudes towards poetry as well as the historical conditions of medieval life. Despite remaining incomplete, L'art de dictier is considered remarkable for its acceptance of the vernacular, its deemphasis of medieval setting, and its author's place in historical poetic tradition. In fact, Geoffrey Chaucer borrowed extensively from his French contemporary, and Deschamps returned the compliment, calling him "grand translateur" in his "Ballade adresse a Geoffrey Chaucer."
Download or read book An Encyclopedist of the Dark Ages written by Ernest Brehaut and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1912 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of European thought as we know it from the dawn of history down to the Dark Ages is marked by the successive secularization and de-secularization of knowledge. From the beginning Greek secular science can be seen painfully disengaging itself from superstition. For some centuries it succeeded in maintaining its separate existence and made wonderful advances; then it was obliged to give way before a new and stronger set of superstitions which may be roughly called Oriental. In the following centuries all those branches of thought which had separated themselves from superstition again returned completely to its cover; knowledge was completely de-secularized, the final influence in this process being the victory of Neoplatonized Christianity. The sciences disappeared as living realities, their names and a few lifeless and scattered fragments being all that remained. They did not reappear as realities until the medieval period ended. This process of de-secularization was marked by two leading characteristics; on the one hand, by the loss of that contact with physical reality through systematic observation which alone had given life to Greek natural science, and on the other, by a concentration of attention upon what were believed to be the superior realities of the spiritual world. The consideration of these latter became so intense, so detailed and systematic, that there was little energy left among thinking men for anything else.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.
