Song of Roland Book Description: This translation of the Old French tale is highly entertaining, with flashes of poetic invention that enliven the medieval folderol of swords, steeds and deeds. The story concerns the betrayal of the brave but foolhardy Roland, his knightly companions, and his army by the treacherous Ganelon. Sayers cleaves closely to the meter of the original Old French, which requires clever feats of circumlocution and diction. The translation has a charmingly archaic quality, in keeping with the ancient nature of the tale. Alighieri Dante (1265-1321)

Butrint, Albania Upon hearing that photographer Giovanni Lattanzi and I were planning to visit the Greek isle of Corfu, an archaeologist friend of ours exclaimed, "Oh, good! You'll be visiting Butrint." "Butrint? What's that?" I asked. "It's simply the last major unexcavated archaeological site in the Mediterranean." I had already begun imagining a picnic on a remote, sunlit Greek islet, surrounded only by a few scattered stones and perhaps some goats, when our friend added soberly: "It's in Albania." Albania? Just last year, Albania was engulfed in a chaotic and bloody civil war. Pictures of armed civilians clashing with government forces and helicopters airlifting visitors to safety filled the evening news. During the day, anarchy reigned on the streets of the capital, Tirana. At night, those same streets were eerily deserted, the silence punctuated by rounds of gunfire. Undeterred, we scoured our maps in search of Butrint. We finally learned that Butrint's remains sit on a bluff in the highlands of southern Albania, only six miles from Corfu.

Extractions: Gemstone Therapy The love of gemstones is something many of us share. If we feel attracted to a particular stone, we can be almost certain that it will have a positive effect on us. In the 12th century, Saint Hildegard von Bingen recommended among others the ruby as a means of healing. In old Egypt rubies were used to protect against black magic. Today, gemstone therapy is one of the alternative methods for energizing the body, helping to resolve emotional problems and to heal diseases.. It is based on the concept that any disease is the result of energy blockages and that gemstones send out energetic vibrations which are able to release such blockages on organic, psychological and spiritual levels. Gemstone therapy is completely harmless in that it has no negative effects. It helps the body in its fight against illness. The easiest way of applying gemstone energy to the body is to wear the gemstone around the neck, however, without using any metal frame. Most of our gemstones can be cleansed / unloaded under running water and recharged by laying them in the sun for a specific period of time (e.g. diamond) Some precious stones require cleansing in sea salt (e.g. pyrite sun). MEMORIES OR MYTH: THE QUESTION OF REINCARNATION Present-day knowledge indicates that early Christianity also knew about reincarnation, but at the Fifth Council in Constantinople in 533 the doctrine of the pre-existence of the soul was officially declared a Pagan heresy and banned - probably for purely political reasons - by emperor Justinian.

Extractions: Publius Vergilius Maro, 15 October 70 - 19 BC, known in English as Virgil or Vergil, Latin poet, is the author of the Eclogues , the Georgics , and the Aeneid , a narrative poem in twelve books that deserves to be called the Roman Empire's national epic. Born in the village of Andes (modern Pietole), near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul "this side", i.e., south of the Alps, present northern Italy), Vergil received his earliest schooling at Cremona and Milan. He then went to Rome to study rhetoric, medicine, and astronomy, which he soon abandoned for philosophy. In this period, while he was in the school of Siro the Epicurean, Vergil began writing poetry. A group of minor poems attributed to the youthful Vergil survive but most are spurious. One, the Catalepton (bagatelles?), consists of fourteen little poems, some of which may be Vergil's, and another, a short narrative poem titled the Culex (the mosquito), was attributed to Vergil as early as the first century AD.

Extractions: ublius Vergilius Maro, was regarded by the Romans as their greatest poet. He was educated at Cremona, at Milan, and finally at Rome. His fame rests chiefly upon his national epic poem, the Aeneid. Virgil's life was devoted entirely to poetry. His health was never robust, and he played no part in military or political life. His earliest certain work are the Eclogues, a collection of 10 pastoral poems composed between 42 and 37 BC. They deal with the idealized situations of an imaginary world in which shepherds sing of their simple joys. The fifth eclogue has some relationship with the recent death of Julius Caesar; the 10th brings Gallus, a fellow poet, into the pastoral world. The fourth (the "Messianic", because it was later regarded as prophetic of Christianity) has great relevance to the contemporary situation. It prophesies the birth of a child who will bring back the Golden Age, banish sin, and restore peace. The Georgics, composed between 37 and 30 BC, is a plea for the restoration of the traditional agricultural life. This didactic poem, as Seneca said, was written "not to instruct farmers but to delight readers." The practical instruction is presented with vivid insight into nature and it is interspersed with poetical digressions. The Georgics are dedicated to Maecenas, the leading patron of the arts under Augustus. By this time Virgil was a member of the court circle and was personally committed to the same ideals as the government. As sole ruler of the Roman world after the battle of Actium (31 BC) Augustus used his power to establish a period of peace and stability. Virgil now set out to embody his ideal Rome in the Aeneid, the story of the foundation of the first settlement in Italy, from which Rome was to spring, by Aeneas, an exiled Trojan prince after the destruction of Troy by the Greeks in the 12th century BC. He presents Aeneas as the prototype of the Roman way of life. In the Aeneid Virigl, with prophecies and visions, foreshadowes the real events of Roman history. The poem is heroic and yet Augustan. Yet, to many readers the most memorable figure in the poem (book IV) is Dido, Queen of Carthago, with whom Aeneas falls in love, but, in the end, Aeneas' devotion to duty (Lat. pietas) prevails, leaving Dido to commit suicide.
