Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages illuminates how the floor surface shaped the ways in which people in medieval western Europe and beyond experienced sacred spaces. The ground beneath our feet plays a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in our relationship with the environments we inhabit and the spaces with which we interact. By focusing on this surface as a point of encounter, Lucy Donkin positions it within a series of vertically stacked layers—the earth itself, permanent and temporary floor coverings, and the bodies of the living above ground and the dead beneath—providing new perspectives on how sacred space was defined and decorated, including the veneration of holy footprints, consecration ceremonies, and the demarcation of certain places for particular activities. Using a wide array of visual and textual sources, Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages also details ways in which interaction with this surface shaped people's identities, whether as individuals, office holders, or members of religious communities. Gestures such as trampling and prostration, the repeated employment of specific locations, and burial beneath particular people or actions used the surface to express likeness and difference. From pilgrimage sites in the Holy Land to cathedrals, abbeys, and local parish churches across the Latin West, Donkin frames the ground as a shared surface, both a feature of diverse, distant places and subject to a variety of uses over time—while also offering a model for understanding spatial relationships in other periods, regions, and contexts.

Download or read book The Church of the Archangel Michael at Kavalariana written by Angeliki Lymberopoulou and published by Pindar Press. This book was released on 2006-12-31 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Angeliki Lymberopoulou lectures on Byzantine Studies at the Open University, and is an expert on the art and society of Venetian-dominated Crete (1211-1669). During this period, Crete was perhaps the most important Venetian stronghold in the Mediterranean . The traditional view that there was little cultural interaction between the native Greek Orthodox population and the Venetian colonists has recently been cast in doubt. From the early fourteenth century onwards, the two ethnically and religiously different inhabitants of Crete formed in fact a hybrid society, and Cretan artistic development reflects this progress. The book focuses as a case study on the church of the Archangel Michael at Kavalariana. This is a small church in the village of Kavalariana on the south-western part of the island. It is dated by a dedicatory inscription to the year 1327/28. The conservative iconographic programme of the wall paintings inside the church consists of seventeen religious scenes and thirty-three isolated saintly figures. As the paintings are signed Ioannes, they have been attributed to the prolific fourteenth-century Cretan artist Ioannes Pagomenos. A close examination of the style and comparisons with Pagomenos' oeuvre suggest, however, that Ioannes of Kavalariana was a separate artist with an identity of his own. A unique feature of the Kavalariana cycle is the pro-Venetian inscription which, in combination with the fourteen portraits of the donors that appear in the church, forms an important witness to Venetian/Cretan cultural interaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford History of Christian Worship is a comprehensive and authoritative history, lavishly illustrated, of the origins and development of Christian worship up to the present day. Following contemporary methods in scholarship, it attends to social and cultural contexts and examines the worship traditions from both Eastern and Western Christianity, ancient and modern. It offers a chronological account, while encompassing spatial and confessional variations, from Baptists in Britain to Roman Catholics in Mexico, from Orthodox in Ethiopia to Pentecostals in the United States, from Lutheran and Reformed in Europe to united churches in India and Australia. The material details of Christian worship, such as music, architecture, and the visual arts, are considered within specific cultural contexts throughout the volume as well as studied thematically in individual chapters."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le Comité romain qui a organisé les fêtes du XVe centenaire de la mort de saint Jean Chrysostome a pensé que le meilleur moyen d'en perpétuer le souvenir était de publier une série d'études sur la vie, les écrits et le culte du grand docteur de l'Orient. Ces études, il les a demandées à plusieurs savants catholiques de compétence reconnue. Le premier fascicule renferme les travaux se rapportant à la vie et à l'activité littéraire de Chrysostome. M. N. Turchi nous présente d'abord une esquisse du milieu social dans lequel a vécu saint Jean Chrysostome et dessine à grands traits le portrait moral du Saint, portrait qui nous paraît fort exact. Dom C. Butler, au nom de la critique interne, revendique pour Palladius d'Hélénopolis la paternité du Dialogus de vita Chrysostomi. Le P. A. Amelli étudie d'une manière assez sommaire l'appel de Chrysostome au pape Innocent. Le travail de M. Sabatini : Saint Jean Chrysostome et la vie sociale, est tissé de généralités sur la vie du Saint. Quant à l'étude de M. A. Naegele sur saint Jean Chrysostome et Libanius, elle n'a qu'un défaut, c'est d'être diffuse (...). Des quatre travaux qui suivent : Saint Jean Chrysostome dans la littérature arménienne, par le P. J. Aucher ; dans la littérature arabe, par le P. C. Bâcha ; dans la littérature russe, par le P. A. Palmieri ; dans la littérature géorgienne, par le P. M. Tamarati, celui du P. Palmieri attire particulièrement l'attention par la richesse de la documentation. Les fragments chrysostomiens retrouvés par M. S. Haidacher dans les chaînes sur Job et dans le recueil des lettres de saint Nil sont intéressants, mais l'hypothèse présentée par l'auteur de l'existence d'un commentaire chrysostomien sur Job ne s'appuie sur rien de solide (... ). Quant à Dom C. Baur, il soutient avec beaucoup de vraisemblance que le commentaire morcelé sur les psaumes qui nous reste est tout ce que saint Jean Chrysostome a écrit sur le sujet." (M. Jugie, in Échos d'Orient, tome 12, n°74, 1909, p. 57)

Download or read book Selected Letters of A M A Blanchet written by Roberta Stringham Brown and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1846, French Canadian-born A. M. A. Blanchet was named the first Catholic bishop of Walla Walla in the area soon to become Washington Territory. He arrived at Fort Walla Walla in late September 1847, part of the largest movement over the Oregon Trail to date. During the thirty-two years of Blanchet's tenure in the Northwest, the region underwent profound social and political change as the Hudson's Bay Company moved headquarters and many operations north following the Oregon Treaty, U.S. government and institutions were established, and Native American inhabitants dealt with displacement and discrimination. Blanchet chronicled both his own pastoral and administrative life and his observations on the world around him in a voluminous correspondence-almost nine hundred letters-to religious superiors and colleagues in Montreal, Paris, and Rome; funding organizations; other missionaries; and U.S. officials. This selection of Blanchet's letters provides a fascinating view of Washington Territory as seen through the eyes of an intelligent, devout, energetic, perceptive, and occasionally irascible cleric and administrator. Almost all of Blanchet's correspondence was in French. Roberta Stringham Brown and Patricia O'Connell Killen have chosen forty-five of those letters to translate and annotate, creating a history of early Washington that provides new insights into relationships, events, and personalities. A number of the letters provide first-hand glimpses of familiar events, such as the Whitman tragedy, the California gold rush, Indian wars and land displacement, transportation advances, and the domestic material culture of a frontier borderland. Others voice the hardships of historically underrepresented groups, including Native Americans, Metis, and French Canadians, and the experiences of ordinary people in growing population centers such as Seattle, Walla Walla, and Vancouver, Wash-ington. Still others describe the struggle to bring social, medical, and educational institutions to the region, a struggle in which women religious workers played a key role. The letters-and the editors' fascinating annotations-provide an engaging and insightful look at an important period in the history of the Pacific Northwest and southwest Canada.
