"A study of the representations of St. Michael in the liturgy, literature, and iconography of the period"--Provided by publisher.
The Mother's Truth
The Mother Goddess is the ultimate Matriarch. She knows you very well, even if you do not know her. She is the one taking good care of you always. Why did the Boer Nation lose its two independent states in 1902? How did this happen and who should be blamed? Satan used the name Jesus to draw all prayers to himself, thereby abusing our worship of Jesus. This is all upside down and hidden right in front of our faces, where we don’t even see it. This is why the Goddess planned for tribulations to take place soon, so humanity can get our chance to fulfill our destiny. Otherwise, Satan/Lucifer and his friends will never stop trouble making. Now is our only time to turn things right and grow into being multidimensional again, so there can be no more lying to us. We Boers want our two Republics returned to us right now, where we can live freely and govern ourselves. Thanks to the Goddess, who will make all this happen as prophesized. Satan and his friends will have no chance, because the Goddess is on our side.
Echoing Hooves: Studies on Horses and Their Effects on Medieval Societies
Saying that horses shaped the medieval world – and the way we see it today – is hardly an exaggeration. Why else do we imagine a medieval knight – or a nomadic warrior – on horseback? Why do we use such metaphors as “unbridled” or “bearing a yoke” in our daily language? Studies of medieval horses and horsemanship are increasingly popular, but they often focus on a single aspect of equestrianism or a single culture. In this book, you will find information about both elite and humble working equines, about the ideology and practicalities of medieval horsemanship across different countries, from Iceland to China. Contributors are Gloria Allaire, Luise Borek, Gail Brownrigg, Agnès Carayon, Gavina Cherchi, John C. Ford, Loïs Forster, Jürg Gassmann, Rebecca Henderson, Anna-Lena Lange, Romain Lefebvre, Rena Maguire, Ana Maria S. A. Rodrigues, and Alexia-Foteini Stamouli.
Winters in the World
Interweaving literature, history, and religion, an exquisite meditation on the turning of the seasons in medieval England—now in paperback. Winters in the World is a beautifully observed journey through the cycle of the year in Anglo-Saxon England, exploring the festivals, customs, and traditions linked to the different seasons. Drawing on a wide variety of source material, including poetry, histories, and religious literature, Eleanor Parker investigates how Anglo-Saxons felt about the annual passing of the seasons and the profound relationship they saw between human life and the rhythms of nature. Many of the festivals celebrated in the United Kingdom today have their roots in the Anglo-Saxon period, and this book traces their surprising history while unearthing traditions now long forgotten. It celebrates some of the finest treasures of medieval literature and provides an imaginative connection to the Anglo-Saxon world.
Creating and Sharing Legal Knowledge in the Twelfth Century
The Decretum Gratiani is the cornerstone of medieval canon law, and the manuscript St Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 673 an essential witness to its evolution. The studies in this volume focus on that manuscript, providing critical insights into its genesis, linguistic features, and use of Roman Law, while evaluating its attraction to medieval readers and modern scholars. Together, these studies offer a fascinating view on the evolution of the Decretum Gratiani, as well as granting new insights on the complex dynamics and processes by which legal knowledge was first created and then transferred in medieval jurisprudence. Contributors are Enrique de León, Stephan Dusil, Melodie H. Eichbauer, Atria A. Larson, Titus Lenherr, Philipp Lenz, Kenneth Pennington, Andreas Thier, José Miguel Viejo-Ximénez, John C. Wei, and Anders Winroth.

Douglas Southall Freeman
"David Johnson's even-handed biography of Douglas Southall Freeman exactly limns an extraordinary man. The Doc, as we newsmen knew him, would be pleased."--James J. Kilpatrick "I picked up this book in the early evening, and it was 2:30 A.M. before I reluctantly laid it aside. That's no exaggeration.

His monumental biographies, including Lee...
