Virgil and Arcadia by Richard Jenkyns There is an obstacle to our natural appreciation of Virgil's Eclogues which looms as large in their case that any poetry whatever. The form probably the most influential group short poems ever written: though they themselves take Theocritus a model, were become fountainhead from vast and diverse tradition pastoral many European literatures was spring. To use them model itself distort character: it one greatest ironies literary history these elusive, various, eccentric should have pattern for hundreds later writers. Moreover, growth meant things attributed Virgil are not Virgil. Sometimes derived interpretations put upon late antiquity but we now believe be mistaken; sometimes misinterpretations much date; originated new developments literature inventors had seem Virgilian, course time got foisted back on nevertheless. It hard, therefore, approach openly without preconceptions about what contain, even scholars who devoted learning continued hold views there dispassionate observation no good grounds at all. No perhaps so encrusted by barnacles interpretation these, need scrape away if see true shape. My aim here do some this scraping examining Arcadians name Arcadia work. <eot>

Burial and Status in the Early Medieval West by Edward James EARLY medieval archaeology can be said to have its origins with the investigation of burial: Otto III's opening Charlemagne's tomb in 1000; and early modern reports discoveries graves kings or warriors; and, most notably, discovery at Tournai 1653 grave an Frankish king, Childeric. And, until very recently, study burials dominated subject. This is only natural. Graves are easily recognisable when discovered accidentally; often they were intended be, remained, a visible part landscape. Surviving royal are, course, rare. But there over one hundred thousand excavated lesser personages from period between c . 450 1000: astonishing mass data which forms significant proportion total available evidence for Middle Ages needs assessed taken into count by any medievalist interested totality period. And it argued that cemeteries offer rather more opportunity than written sources understand world those below status bishops, do so without ecclesiastical bias have. We nevertheless remember not unconscious waste products society, like studied archaeologist: rubbish pits, building remains on. Bodies deliberately carefully placed ground, along whatever accompanied them. Those responsible burial made whole series choices about manner carried out this action. A burial, text, product conscious mental activity, subject many problems interpretation analysis historians familiar. <eot>

Two African saints in medieval Germany by Reinhold Grimm After the decline and final downfall of Roman Empire, western southern Europe was a shambles.1 Teutonic tribes such as Goths, Lombards, Franks invaded ransacked erstwhile provinces, founding various kingdoms in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, most which were, however, rather shortlived. It only with ascent Carolingian dynasty and, particular, reign Charlemagne, culminated his coronation Emperor Rome 800 AD., that order, unity, safety were restored these ravaged countries. When Charlemagne's empire divided under successors new realms began to emerge east well west-which become Germany respectively--his imperial heritage by implication, Romans assumed German rulers. Ever since Otto I (the Great) mid-tenth century, conceived herself heir witness elaborate appellation Holy Empire Nation, came into usage during late Middle Ages remained official name until 1806.

From Gothic to Renaissance Stereotomy: The Design Methods of Philibert de l’Orme and Alonso de Vandelvira by Sergio L. Sanabria From Gothic to Renaissance Stereotomy: The Design Methods of Philibert de I’Orme and Alonso Vandelvira SERGIO LUIS SANABRIA Stereotomy is the art cutting solids precisely so their parts fit together tightly. Although stereotomic problems arise in all masonry or wood construction which a whole must be made various parts, calculations are needed only for precise compound-angle curved cuts. Cutting simple rectangular blocks demands no special knowl­ edge, even complex cuts often can determined empirically by approximation fitting, way traditional carpenters ancient Greek Inca masons adjusted joints sanding down trimming points contact until matching surfaces were obtained.1 Simple arches introduce trivial complication: voussoirs require adding adjustable angle protractors, bevels, masons’ tool kits. Even sloping barrel vaults Hellenistic temple Apollo at Didyma could have been constructed without resort geometric the­ ory. Complex curves based on conic sections appear structures after Roman development intersecting groin vaults. Treatises such as Conics Apollonius Perga its lost predecessor, Four Books Euclid, provided conceptual background this architectural innovation, although fact they probably superfluous. builders avoided com­ putations vault groins use mass concrete brick that Dr. Sanabria teaches Department Architecture Miami University.
