Book Synopsis A Medieval Book of Magical Stones: The Peterborough Lapidary by : Francis Young
Download or read book A Medieval Book of Magical Stones: The Peterborough Lapidary written by Francis Young and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Medieval Book of Magical Stones is the first translation of the longest and most comprehensive medieval English treatise on the occult powers of stones and gems, the Peterborough Lapidary. Lapidaries (encyclopaedias of the 'virtues' of stones and minerals) were an essential resource for practitioners of natural and ritual magic as well as medicine. This late fifteenth-century manuscript from the library of Peterborough Cathedral describes 145 stones, portraying them as living beings whose properties range from giving the bearer the power to command spirits and foretell the future to healing numerous illnesses and communicating with spirits and the dead, along with instructions on how to release latent occult power from within stones. Many of the proposed uses of stones resemble the concerns of medieval necromancers, such as invisibility, love magic, power over animals and the creation of magical mirrors. pp. xliii+106; 2 column text; introduction; bibliography; analytical index; 8 b/w illustrations

Book Synopsis Peterborough Cathedral by : Jonathan Foyle
Download or read book Peterborough Cathedral written by Jonathan Foyle and published by Scala Arts Publishers Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -A fascinating account of the turbulent history of Peterborough Cathedral - one of England's finest surviving Norman buildings -Stunning new photography brings the cathedral's miraculously preserved art and architecture to life -Ideal for those with an interest in English or Cambridgeshire history, or religious art and architecture Peterborough Cathedral is one of England's finest Norman buildings, sited on the shifting boundary between solid ground and waterlogged fenlands. Founded in AD 654 and achieving cathedral status in 1541, the preservation of its art and architecture is remarkable considering its turbulent history. Author Jonathan Foyle traces the story from the earliest traces of habitation here to the monumental and inventive twelfth-century building, which largely survives. The extraordinary west front, with its three monumental arches, is seen as symbolizing the guardianship of St Peter, keeper of the keys of heaven, while the complex decoration of the vast wooden nave ceiling contrasts the joys of heaven with the horrors of hell. Falling into disrepair in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Peterborough never experienced wholesale Victorian restoration, thereby preserving its art and architecture and allowing us to see the glimpse of heaven that it has offered through the ages. Ultimately, it is a story of triumph against adversity, for today the cathedral serves a vibrant and developing community. Contents: Introduction 1. Between Land and Water 2. Destruction and Rebuilding 3. Cathedral Completed 4. Nave Ceiling 5. The End of an Era 6. Survival and Renewal Follow @pborocathedral on Twitter (4220 followers).

Download or read book Vesper Flights written by Helen Macdonald and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of H is for Hawk explores the human relationship to the natural world in this “dazzling” essay collection (Wall Street Journal). In Vesper Flights, Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences: observing the massive migration of songbirds from the top of the Empire State Building, watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary, seeking the last golden orioles in Suffolk’s poplar forests. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds’ nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 11, 2001, the world changed. For Sophie and Paul, it started with a disastrous dinner party. For the babysitter, it started with waking in a dark kitchen and recognizing the smell of blood. For everyone else it started with a plane flying into the World Trade Center. In this tautly written domestic thriller set in Toronto, Michelle Berry weaves together the story of two couples whose lives are about to be unravelled by the murder of a neighbour, a babysitter that has gone missing and the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center. It is a haunting exploration of marriages and what tears them apart, of what happens to people during shocking events and of how everything can change in an instant. Filled with richly drawn characters, a web of thwarted desires and multiple motives, Everything Turns Away is riveting until the very end.
