Illuminated Glory/The Apocalypse of St. John
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that addresses the role that these books played in medieval culture. The writer argues that modern readers tend to look at medieval art and culture and interpret it according to a modern perspective. However, this is frequently not the case, as the medieval worldview differs markedly from a contemporary perspective. Nowhere is this more evident than the role that illuminated manuscripts, and books in general, played within medieval society. This examination of medieval illuminated manuscript production, focusing on depictions of the Apocalypse of St. John, illustrates this point. The last two pages of this research pertain to parchment paper production. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Love & Knowledge/Writing of 3 Medieval Theologians
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page essay that contrasts and compares the writing of 3 medieval theologians. At their most fundamental level, the writing of medieval theologians Thomas Aquinas, Bernard of Clairvaux and Saint Bonaventure are in agreement with each other in that they each perceive the relation between love and knowledge as being intrinsically intertwined and interconnected with the context of human experience. However, in the centuries since the medieval period, the mindset or worldview of Western civilization has changed, as defining precepts moved from a focus on God towards a focus on rationality. Consequently, the scholasticism of the Middle Ages is often difficult for the modern reader to fully appreciate or understand. Due to this fact, the writing of Bernard of Clairvaux provides the most compelling account of the relationship between love and knowledge as it fits better with the modern worldview that still tends to rely on the rational perspective of the Enlightenment. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
