George Neville, Archbishop of York

He was only fourteen years old when the Pope made him a canon not only of York Minster but also of Salisbury. It can be no surprise that his meteoric rise in the church was followed by the Bishopric of Exeter – though he wasn’t legally old enough to run things (he received a dispensation to take the profits though) and in 1465 he was translated to the Archbishopric of York.

Five Stages of Antisemitism in Art

Photo: British Library. Renaissance art stripped Jesus, his family and close followers of their Jewish identity. That fact can be easily verified by a tour of any Renaissance art gallery, exhibit, or by examining books that display religious paintings from the Renaissance. You will be greeted in these experiences by images of dedicated first-century orthodox Jews (as clearly described in the Gospels) transformed into Renaissance-era Christians by physical appearance, settings and artifacts. A graphic example is Pietro Perugino’s fifteenth-century painting, Baptism of Christ. The Land of Cockaygne: Introduction. Anglo-Irish poems of the Middle Ages: The Kildare Poems.

The Last Page of the Medieval Book

Not because it means that my research of a particular manuscript is almost completed, but because the last page often provides information pertaining to the origins of the object – information not normally found elsewhere in the manuscript.

Literature/Gesta Danorum

Gesta Danorum is a monumental medieval history of Denmark, written by a certain Saxo between c. 1185 and 1210 AD. The name that Saxo gave to his work is not known, and it has been referred to with a variety of names. In recent times, Gesta Danorum has emerged as the most frequently used title.

Not much else is certain about Saxo except that during his lifetime, he was nicknamed "the Long", but after his death became known with the epithet "Grammaticus" ("the Learned").

Unavailable in your country. Item 25, The Feasts of All Saints and All Souls: Introduction. Origin, Genre, and Themes The holy day of All Saints (All Hallows) dates back to the practices of the early Church, but it was not universally observed until the eighth century, when Pope Gregory III fixed November 1 as the day dedicated to the worship of all saints.

Item 25, The Feasts of All Saints and All Souls: Introduction

The rapid expansion of Christi­anity meant that new saints were canonized every year, some with only small, regional cults, and the Church sought a means of reordering the liturgical calendar to include the thousands of saints who had no (or little) recognition on any other day.
