Book The History of the Kirk of Scotland  Vol  8

Download or read book The History of the Kirk of Scotland Vol 8 written by David Calderwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Kirk of Scotland, Vol. 8: Containing the Appendix and General Index This last consideration was apparently the reason that induced Calderwood to prepare his History in the Three different states in which it still exists, to afford additional security for its preservation, at a period when, to all appearance, the whole platform of Presbyterian Church government, in Scot land, was threatened to be overturned. In the Appendix I have already described the successive changes in the History, made by the Author, but it may be proper, in this place, brie y to notice the probable dates of the several Manuscripts. The Manuscript of the larger History, in three volumes, concludes, on page 1609, with the year 1586, but Calderwood himself refers to it as extending to 3136 pages; and, judging from the handwriting, these volumes were probably the first compiled.

Book The Early History of the Viol

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ian Woodfield
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1988-04-21
  • ISBN : 9780521357432
  • Pages : 290 pages

Download or read book The Early History of the Viol written by Ian Woodfield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-04-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the development of the viol from its late medieval Spanish origins to the sixteenth century, when it became the most widely played bowed instrument in western Europe. Ian Woodfield examines the two most important ancestors of the instrument, the Moorish rahab and the vihuela de mano. From these two instruments emerged an early form of viol, the Valencian vihuela de arco, which spread rapidly across the Mediterranean during the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia. The viol was enthusiastically accepted by the d'Este and Gonzaga families and other Italian arbiters before migrating across the Alps and into the rest of Europe. The author discusses all aspects of the viol during its Renaissance hey-day: the growing perfection of viol design at the hands of Italian craftsmen; the gradual evolution of tuning systems; the development of advanced playing techniques and the wide range of music, both solo and consort. The final chapter examines the growth of a viol playing tradition in sixteenth-century England, in particular in the London choir-schools. Dr Woodfield brings iconographic evidence and an interesting approach to this study which will be of interest to musicologists, iconographers, organologists and viol players.

Book Enforcing Reformation in Ireland and Scotland  1550   1700

Download or read book Enforcing Reformation in Ireland and Scotland 1550 1700 written by Elizabethanne Boran and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in the study of the Reformation period within the three kingdoms of Britain, revolutionizing the way in which scholars think about the relationships between England, Scotland and Ireland. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the story of the British Reformation is still dominated by studies of England, an imbalance that this book will help to right. By adopting an international perspective, the essays in this volume look at the motives, methods and impact of enforcing the Protestant Reformation in Ireland and Scotland. The juxtaposition of these two countries illuminates the similarities and differences of their social and political situations while qualifying many of the conclusions of recent historical work in each country. As well as Investigating what 'reformation' meant in the early modern period, and examining its literal, rhetorical, doctrinal, moral and political implications, the volume also explores what enforcing these various reformations could involve. Taken as a whole, this volume offers a fascinating insight into how the political authorities in Scotland and Ireland attempted, with varying degrees of success, to impose Protestantism on their countries. By comparing the two situations, and placing them in the wider international picture, our understanding of European confessionalization is further enhanced.

Book The Death of Christian Britain

Download or read book The Death of Christian Britain written by Callum G. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Death of Christian Britain examines how the nation’s dominant religious culture has been destroyed. Callum Brown challenges the generally held view that secularization was a long and gradual process dating from the industrial revolution. Instead, he argues that it has been a catastrophic and abrupt cultural revolution starting in the 1960s. Using the latest techniques of gender analysis, and by listening to people's voices rather than purely counting heads, the book offers new formulations of religion and secularization. In this expanded second edition, Brown responds to commentary on his ideas, reviews the latest research, and provides new evidence to back his claims.
