It was on the road to Rutupias, the port of embarkation for Gaul, now Richborough, from Ethelbert's capital, and it has been suggested that it was intended to make an English Appian Way. In a very few years Ethelbert determined to establish in the same place a monastery under the patronage of SS. Peter and Paul. This was in 605, but in 613 the church was dedicated to St Laurence, and the body of St Augustine was transported hither and buried in the porch. From this time the renown of the place increased since it became known as the burial place of the illustrious dead; and almost from the first the monastery became known as St Augustine's Abbey. Its early greatness was undoubtedly due to the fame of those who were buried in the church, and until the death of Archbishop Cuthbert in 758, all the Archbishops of Canterbury had their last resting-places at St Augustine's, which was known as the Mater primaria, the "first mother" of all such English institutions. Indeed, long after it had ceased to hold its pre-eminence as a place of sepulture, popes speak of it as "the firstborn," the "first and chief mother of monasteries in England," and as "the Roman chapel in England," whilst the archbishops are warned if they visit it, not to do so as its prelate or with authority, but as the brother of the monks. Whilst the abbot of St Albans had the papal grant permitting him to sit first in all English meetings of the Benedictine Order, the abbot of St Augustine's was privileged by Pope Leo IX to sit among the Benedictine prelates in general councils next to the abbot of Monte Cassino. As I have said, it was undoubtedly the presence of the illustrious and sainted dead which gave such renown to the abbey, and in particular it...

Download or read book Syon Abbey and Its Books written by Edward Alexander Jones and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on the turbulent history of Syon Abbey, focussing on the role played by reading and writing in constructing its identity and experience. Founded in 1415, the double monastery of Syon Abbey was the only English example of the order established by the fourteenth-century mystic St Bridget of Sweden. After its dispersal at the Dissolution, the community survived in exile and was briefly restored during the reign of Mary I; but with the accession of Elizabeth I, some of the nuns and brothers once again sought refuge on the Continent, first in the Netherlands and later in Lisbon. This volumeof essays traces the fortunes of Syon Abbey and the Bridgettine order between 1400 and 1700, examining the various ways in which reading and writing shaped its identity and defined its experience, and exploring the interconnections between late medieval and post-Reformation monastic history and the rapidly evolving world of communication, learning, and books. They extend our understanding of religious culture and institutions on the eve of the Reformationand the impulses that inspired initiatives for early modern Catholic renewal, and also illuminate the spread of literacy and the gradual and uneven transition from manuscript to print between the fourteenth and the seventeenth centuries. In the process, the volume engages with larger questions about the origins and consequences of religious, intellectual and cultural change in late medieval and early modern England. E.A. JONES is Senior Lecturerin English, University of Exeter; ALEXANDRA WALSHAM is Professor of Modern History and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Contributors: E.A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - New edition of this exploration of one of Britain's greatest buildings - A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated survey of Westminster Abbey's art treasures Westminster Abbey has a history stretching back over a thousand years. Founded as a Benedictine monastery in the mid-tenth century, it is the coronation church where monarchs have been crowned amid great splendor since 1066. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is a treasure house of architectural and artistic achievement on which each succeeding century has left its mark. The medieval and Renaissance tombs within the Abbey, though among the most important in Europe, form only a small part of the extraordinary collection of gravestones, memorials and monumental sculpture for which it has long been famous. Ranging from the thirteenth-century shrine of St Edward and the Renaissance splendor of Henry VII's Lady Chapel, to the literary memorials of Poets' Corner and the statues of twentieth-century martyrs on the Abbey's west front, this book describes the stained glass, furniture, sculpture, textiles, wall paintings and many other historic artefacts found within this remarkable church. Contents: Introduction; Edward the Confessor's Chapel; Sacrarium and High Altar; Quire and Crossing; North Transept and Ambulatory; South Ambulatory and Transept; Nave; Lady Chapel; Cloisters; Abbey Precincts.
