The Old Rectory
Author: Anthony Jennings
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1441118055
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Pevsner described the pairing of church and parsonage as a feature of the English village unparalleled on the Continent. John Betjeman saw the design of rectories and vicarages as highly influential on our architecture. Forsaken by the Church but coveted by the private buyer, this is the story of these quintessentially English houses, with their combination of fine architecture, charm and character, large gardens and often splendidly rural locations. The Old Rectory examines their history, their evolution through the centuries, their many and varied styles of architecture, and their place in our heritage. It also explores the contribution made to our culture by the clerical families who once occupied these houses, and the famous people and eccentrics who have been associated with them. Finally, it considers their current role, and what the future might hold.

Dr. John Walker and the Sufferings of the Clergy (Classic Reprint)
Author: G. B. Tatham
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781334730658
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Excerpt from Dr. John Walker and the Sufferings of the Clergy The object of the present work is on a far more modest scale. I have attempted to give an account of the circumstances in which the Sufierings of the Clergy was written, the materials of which the author was able to avail himself, and the manner in which he used them. I have not alluded in detail to the points on which his conclusions may be corrected or modified in the light of the fuller information now at our disposal, because, as it seemed to me, the results of such a review could be more suitably embodied in a separate account of the period. My purpose has been rather to indicate the point of View from which Walker set out and his equipment for the task.

The Trotula
Author: David D. Gilmore
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812235894
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The Trotula was the most influential compendium on women's medicine in medieval Europe. Scholarly debate has long focused on the traditional attribution of the work to the mysterious Trotula, said to have been the first female professor of medicine in eleventh- or twelfth-century Salerno, just south of Naples, then the leading center of medical learning in Europe. Yet as Monica H. Green reveals in her introduction to this first edition of the Latin text since the sixteenth century, and the first English translation of the book ever based upon a medieval form of the text, the Trotula is not a single treatise but an ensemble of three independent works, each by a different author. To varying degrees, these three works reflect the synthesis of indigenous practices of southern Italians with the new theories, practices, and medicinal substances coming out of the Arabic world. Arguing that these texts can be understood only within the intellectual and social context that produced them, Green analyzes them against the background of historical gynecological literature as well as current knowledge about women's lives in twelfth-century southern Italy. She examines the history and composition of the three works and introduces the reader to the medical culture of medieval Salerno from which they emerged. Among her findings is that the second of the three texts, "On the Treatments for Women," does derive from the work of a Salernitan woman healer named Trota. However, the other two texts—"On the Conditions of Women" and "On Women's Cosmetics"—are probably of male authorship, a fact indicating the complex gender relations surrounding the production and use of knowledge about the female body. Through an exhaustive study of the extant manuscripts of the Trotula, Green presents a critical edition of the so-called standardized Trotula ensemble, a composite form of the texts that was produced in the mid-thirteenth century and circulated widely in learned circles. The facing-page complete English translation makes the work accessible to a broad audience of readers interested in medieval history, women's studies, and premodern systems of medical thought and practice.
