Extractions: Poems of the Week: Valentines by John Stringer This week includes St. Valentines Day, so there is really no choice as to the subject for our poems. Valentine the historical figure is somewhat blurred. There appear to have been two (or three) early Christian martyrs with this name. Probably the best documented is one who, with St. Marius, assisted early Christians under persecution by Claudius II. He was arrested, and since he would not renounce his faith, he was condemned to be beaten with clubs, and then beheaded. This happened on February 14th, in about 270 A.D., which was also the last of the two years Claudius II was Caesar. Pope Julius I (333-356) is said to have built a church in his memory, at what is now the Porta del Popolo. There was also a Pope called Valentine, but he was only Pope for about 40 days; he died in 827. There was a Roman love festival on February 15th, called Lupercalia. In the manner of the early Church, Pope Gelasius, in 496 A.D. changed the date to the 14th, and called it Saint Valentine's Day; Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. It was believed that the martyr was also a physician, and he used to be invoked against blindness and epilepsy.

Extractions: John Gower (c.1330-1408), born the son of a rich Yorkshire family, lived in Kent throughout the first half of his life. From 1377 onwards he lived at the priory of St. Mary Overie's in Southwark. At the age of 70 he went blind. He was a benefactor to the priory and was buried in its church (today: St. Saviour's). He was known at court, he knew Richard II personally and was a friend of Chaucer, who dedicated his Troilus and Criseyde to him. 'Moral Gower', as Chaucer called him, is most famous for his masterly use of three languages (Latin, French and English). In each language he wrote one major work criticising the political and social conditions of his time. His best-known works are the Mirour de l'Omme Speculum Meditantis c.1376-8), an allegory of about 32,000 lines in French about fallen man, his virtues and vices; the Vox Clamantis (c.1379-81) of 10,265 lines in Latin dealing with politics and kingship, especially the early reign of Richard II and the Peasants' Revolt of 1381; and the English Confessio Amantis (c.1390), 33,000 lines of a lover's confession to Genius, the priest of Venus. Among his shorter poems are the Anglo-Norman

Mittelenglisch: ca. 1100-ca. 1500 Französischer Einfluß und sprachliche Variation sind vielleicht die beiden einzigen Merkmale, die man uneingeschränkt für die gesamte Periode als gültig bezeichnen kann.

Extractions: Although Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a fictional story, most of the locations and at least three of the characters are real, and Pericles' travels would have been possible. This region is among the most contested lands of modern times and remains a site of interest. The story of the play is set in approximately 200 BC, while its narrator, John Gower , lived circa 1330-1408. Gower, an English poet, was a great friend and colleague of Chaucer's. The eighth book of his Confessio Amantis (Confession of a Lover) tells a Pericles-like tale drawn from a Greek source, so he is a natural narrator for this play. Pericles -The historical Pericles led democratic Athens during its Golden Age from 460 to 429 BC but does not relate to the Pericles of the play, except perhaps symbolically. Antioch -A relatively new city at the time of the play, Antioch was the capitol of the Seleucid Empire and a major intellectual and cultural center. The reigns of Antiochus I and Antiochus II were marked by military occupation, chaos, and killing, but Antiochus III (the Great) , who considered himself a second Alexander, conquered neighboring regions and built the city to glory. Antioch was, however, famed for licentious behavior, and Antiochus the Great indeed died in defeat, at the hands of his people. His son, Antiochus IV, died a particularly gruesome death as well, which is described in the Bible and would have been known to Shakespeare's audiences. The city remains today as Antakya in southern Turkey.

Extractions: 17 January 2003 1. Adrian MacLachlan: Per pale sable and argent, an oriental dragon erect and a bordure dovetailed counter-changed Name: As he allows no changes we cannot make his name authentic. Also, I was not able to find Adrian in Scotland, and as Withycombe mentions that it was rare in England it is quite possible that it was not used in Scotland. Also MacLachlan is more associated with Gaelic names not Lowland names. If the submitter wants and authentic lowland Scots name, he should check the article Early 16th Century Scottish Lowland Names at http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/lowland16/. In terms of dates, Withycombe, s.n. Adrian, dates Adrianus to 1189 and mentions in the text an Adrian Fortescue , a saint executed in 1539. Black, s.n. Maclachlan, mentions a Maclachlan of that Ilk in 1555. 2. Æthelmearc, Kingdom of: Order of the Silver Alce Order Name: What is missing is justification that the order name is valid.

Extractions: Liste des documents ... Rechercher l Imprimer Vos remarques Introduction - Qu'entendons-nous par " Français " ? On peut lui donner une double acception, large et étroite. Dans son acception étroite, le Français désigne le parler local d'Ile-de-France et, plus précisément, de Paris, désigné généralement par le mot " francien ". Dans son acception large, il désigne l'ensemble des parlers de pays d'oïl dont Roger Bacon, dans son Opus Maius A) Une langue maternelle - Par opposition au latin, le français est considéré comme une langue maternelle, la " lingua materna ". L'attestation du qualificatif " maternel " pour préciser une langue apprise durant l'enfance se trouve pour la première fois chez Guibert de Nogent dans les Gesta Dei per Francos - Le français a été la langue maternelle de toute une partie de la classe dirigeante anglaise jusqu'à Henri IV (1399-1413), premier souverain de langue maternelle anglaise. Mais déjà, ses prédécesseurs connaissaient mal le français ou pratiquaient l'Anglais comme Edouard Ier. Le français d'Angleterre, désigné par l'expression " Français de Malborough " n'a cependant rien à voir avec le français de Paris. Malgré les témoignages de plusieurs contemporains, comme l'évêque de Lincoln, Robert Grosseteste, on estime que le Français a épargné les classes paysannes.
