THE LITURGY IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND
by Richard W. Pfaff
622 pages
Published September 2009
This is the first comprehensive historical treatment of the Latin liturgy in medieval England. Richard Pfaff constructs a history of the worship carried out in churches - cathedral, monastic, or parish - primarily through the surviving manuscripts of service books, and sets this within the context of the wider political, ecclesiastical, and cultural history of the period. The main focus is on the mass and daily office, treated both chronologically and by type, the liturgies of each religious order and each secular ‘use’ being studied individually. Furthermore, hagiographical and historiographical themes - respectively, which saints are prominent in a given witness and how the labors of scholars over the last century and a half have both furthered and, in some cases, impeded our understandings - are explored throughout. The book thus provides both a narrative account and a reference tool of permanent value.

Musée national du Moyen Âge
Les thermes gallo-romains sont l'un des témoignages les plus spectaculaires de l'architecture antique conservé sur le sol de la Gaule. Lutèce se partageait alors en deux ensembles urbains, l'un blotti à l'intérieur de la Cité ; l'autre sur la rive gauche de la Seine (Montagne Sainte-Geneviève). C'est là que se sont développés villas et monuments grandioses : le Forum sous la rue Soufflot, les arènes rue Monge, les thermes du sud rue Gay-Lussac, les thermes de l'est sous le Collège de France et les thermes du nord dits de Cluny.
Les thermes du nord revêtent une importance particulière du fait de leur état de conservation exceptionnel ; la réutilisation pratiquement continue de l'édifice depuis le Moyen Âge en est la cause principale. Les thermes étaient formés de différents espaces, destinés au public ou aux services, et de souterrains. On identifie aisément les trois salles importantes : le frigidarium (salle froide) englobé dans le musée avec sa voûte de 15 m de haut ; un calda à l'ouest bordé par le boulevard Saint-Michel et un autre caldarium au sud à l'angle du boulevard Saint-Michel et de la rue Du Sommerard. Ces deux dernières salles sont en partie ruinées depuis le XVIIIe siècle. Les murs en élévation ont conservé leur structure d'origine qui se singularise par l'emploi de petites pierres carrées séparées à intervalles réguliers de rangs de briques. A l'intérieur, ils étaient recouverts de mosaïque, de marbre ou de peinture. Le frigidarium en conserve des traces. Le fragment de mosaïque aujourd'hui exposé, « un Amour chevauchant un dauphin », pourrait en constituer le dernier vestige. Cet ensemble architectural était comme bien d'autres thermes, l'un des hauts lieux de la civilisation romaine.

Medieval Space
A research team from Edinburgh University used an image taken from on board the shuttle to discover tracks on a remote Scottish island which they say give a new insight into the economy of the Scottish Highlands and islands in the Middle Ages.
The radar image showed a network of tracks around the castle of the Lords of the Isles, on Islay, Argyllshire, which they say indicates that mining played an important part in the economy of the area.
It was the first time radar pictures from the space shuttle's powerful imaging system had been used to help archaeologists working on Britain's past
