Download or read book Rosslyn written by Andrew Sinclair and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh has long exerted a powerful magnetism and mystery for people all over the world. The flamboyant Gothic church became a third Temple of Solomon for the Knights Templar, under the patronage of the St Clairs of Rosslyn. In the eighteenth century the Templars supported the Jacobite cause, and after the final defeat at Culloden, moved their radical Scots Lodges to America and France, where they played a powerful part in the revolutions in both countries. This book offers an enthralling trail through the rich tapestry of events witnessed by Rosslyn over the centuries. Andrew Sinclair, himself descended from Prince Henry St Clair, who could have taken the Templar treasure from the original vaults beneath Rosslyn Chapel to the medieval Newport Tower, Rhode Island, explores - and sometimes explodes - the many myths and misinterpretations that have grown up around Rosslyn, as the fortunes of the Sinclair family declined and the Church and Castle fell into ruin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The glorious fifteenth-century Rosslyn Chapel, one of Scotland's most extraordinary architectural masterpieces, has remained in the ownership of the St Clair family for over 550 years. Rosslyn Chapel, written by the Earl and Countess of Rosslyn, its current St Clair custodians, is a personal account of a family chapel that has become a national treasure. Built entirely in stone, the multitude of carvings, both interior and exterior, include Christian imagery, from angelic musicians to Biblical scenes; over 100 representations of the pagan Green Man, a symbol of fertility and rebirth; and the earliest recorded stone carving of the medieval Dance of Death, the 'Danse Macabre'. Rosslyn Chapel also looks into the myths and legends associated with the building and the family, who have been connected at various points in history to mysterious groups, such as the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. The authors explore the fascinating and intertwined histories of the St Clair family and their chapel.0.

Download or read book Rosslyn written by Will Grant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rosslyn: The Chapel, Castle and Scenic Lore Lothian's fair and fertile strand And Pentland's mountains blue. The Pentland hills beckon with their intriguing contours and glorious colours towards the Mecca of Rosslyn. Like the city itself the surrounding country side is full of glamour and romance. The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to enable visitors to see as much as possible of Rosslyn Chapel and Rosslyn Castle in a limited time, by making the information clear and concise, so that a good general idea can be obtained at a glance. Second, by enlarging some of the sections with full detail, as in the case of the carvings and ornament, to assist those who have time at their disposal, to understand it more fully. The longer the time spent in this small Chapel the richer the reward, the more deep and lasting the impression of its wonder, its glory and its power. The Ground Plan showing position of pillars and architraves and the groining of the roof of the Lady Chapel, numbered and lettered, and the windows lettered in Roman capitals, is a guide to the section on the Carvings. For a period the Chapel was in an almost ruinous condition, exposed to the ravages of weather and the hand of the spoiler, and it says muchfor the care with which it has since been guarded that the stone fabric is still perfect after five centuries, and that it retains much of its pristine beauty. Rosslyn Chapel has been likened to a Hindu Temple, but there is no need to go to India, or to Greece, Florence, Canterbury or York until we have seen this fine Scottish gem of pure Gothic. And we can come again and again, and find something new. You cannot bathe twice in the same river' 'said Heraclitus, for it is renewed every moment and Emerson reflected, A man never sees' the same object twice; with his own enlargement the object acquires new aspects. So it is with Rosslyn. The book tells the story of this wonderful Chapel, which of old was called The Chapel amidst the woods, and the ancient Castle, gives a glimpse of contemporary history, and concludes with a sketch of the historical lore, literature and romance of the Rosslyn and North Esk countryside. And not least it provides a memento of one of Scotland's most beautiful shrines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosslyn Chapel Revealed offers the reader an increased understanding and respect for one of Europe's finest pre-Reformation buildings. Rosslyn Chapel, with its fountains in the world of nature, still points bravely to the heavens. That there is mystery of the esoteric Gnositc variety, available only to the initiated few. Instead, it is knowledge, accessible to all, of the dynamic intertwining of the created world with the impulse towards self-fulfilment. Rosslyn Chapel Revealed shows that the chapel is first and foremost a Christian building, constructed in the traditions of the pre-Reformation Church for the celebration in word, gesture and music of the Divine Office and of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ suffered on his cross for the salvation of the human race. The stunning beauty of the chapel, its unexpected delicacy and the uninhibited humour of its stone carvings, which have drawn visitors in such avid numbers from all over the world, are a tribute to the honesty and validity of the religious experience to be found within its ancient walls, in a breathtaking setting of valley and river that is older than time.
