Samson Jackson is one of five black Africans known to have served as a combatant on the Western Front during the First World War. He changed his name in 1915 from Bulaya Chanda to Samson Jackson to enlist. In the 1920s, he started using the name Chief Luale (Luali) for his stage work in Londons West End and in amusement parks across England. He appeared on stage with John Gielgud, Hermione Baddeley and others, and befriended Paul Robeson before working with Billy Butlin prior to the latter starting Butlins holiday camp and his own show The African Village. He died aged 34, never having seen his homeland after leaving it in 1914, despite requests to the Colonial Office in the 1920s. This is the story of how Bulaya came to be Chief Luale and how he navigated white British society in the early twentieth century as a black African.

Essays considering how information could be used and abused in the service of heresy and inquisition.The collection, curation, and manipulation of knowledge were fundamental to the operation of inquisition. Its coercive power rested on its ability to control information and to produce authoritative discourses from it - a fact not lost on contemporaries, or on later commentators. Understanding that relationship between inquisition and knowledge has been one of the principal drivers of its long historiography. Inquisitors and their historians have always been preoccupied with the process by which information was gathered and recirculated as knowledge. The tenor of that question has changed over time, but we are still asking how knowledge was made and handed down - to them and to us - and how their sense of what was interesting or useful affected their selection.This volume approaches the theme by looking at heresy and inquisition in the Middle Ages, and also at how they were seen in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The contributors consider a wide range of medieval texts, including papal bulls, sermons, polemical treatises and records of interrogations, both increasing our knowledge of medieval heresy and inquisition, and at the same time delineating the twisting of knowledge. This polarity continues in the early modern period, when scholars appeared to advance learning by hunting for medieval manuscripts and publishing them, or ensuring their preservation through copying them; but at the same time, as some of the chapters here show, these were proof texts in the service of Catholic or Protestant polemic. As a whole, the collection provides a clear view of - and invites readers reflection on - the shading of truth and untruth in medieval and early modern knowledge of heresy and inquisition.Contributors: Jessalynn Lea Bird, Harald Bollbuck, Irene Bueno, Jorg Feuchter, Richard Kieckhefer, Pawel Kras, Adam Poznanski, Luc Racaut, Alessandro Sala, Shelagh Sneddon, Michaela Valente, Reima Valimaki

The essays collected here celebrate mark the distinguished career of Professor W. Mark Ormrod, reflecting the vibrancy and range of his scholarship on the structures, personalities and culture of ruling late medieval England. Encompassing political, administrative, Church and social history, the volume focusses on three main themes: monarchy, state and political culture. For the first, it explores Edward IIIs reactions to the deaths of his kinfolk and cases of political defamation across the fourteenth century. The workings of the state are examined through studies of tax and ecclesiastical records, the Court of Chivalry, fifteenth-century legislation, and the working practices of the privy seal clerk, Thomas Hoccleve. Finally, separate discussions of collegiate statutes and the household ordinances of Cecily, duchess of York consider the political culture of regulation and code-making.GWILYM DODD is Associate Professor of History, University of Nottingham; CRAIG TAYLOR is a Reader in Medieval History at the University of York.Contributors: Elizabeth Biggs, James Bothwell, Gwilym Dodd, Helen Killick, Helen Lacey, Joanna Laynesmith, Jonathan Mackman, Anthony Musson, Sarah Rees Jones, E.H.

From the Gregorian reforms to the Protestant Reformation, heresies and heretics helped shape the religious, political, and institutional structures of medieval Europe. Within this larger history of religious ferment, the late medieval period presents a particularly dynamic array of heterodox movements, dissident modes of thought, and ecclesiastical responses. Yet recent debates about the nature of heresy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries have too easily created an impression of the period after 1300 as merely an epilogue to the high medieval story. This volume takes the history of heresy in late medieval Europe (1300-1500) on its own terms. From Paris to Prague and from northern Germany to Italy and even extending as far as Ethiopia, the essays shed new light on a vibrant world of audacious beguines, ardent Joachites, Spiritual Franciscans, innovative mystics, lay prophets, idiosyncratic alchemists, daring magicians, and even rebellious princes locked in battles with the papacy. As befits a collection honoring the pioneering career of Robert E. Lerner, the studies collected here combine close readings of manuscripts and other sources with a grounding in their political, religious and intellectual contexts, to offer fresh insights into heresies and heretics in late medieval Europe.

Between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, the rise of international trade, the growth of towns and cities, and the politics of diplomacy all helped to foster productive and far-reaching connections and cultural interactions between Britain and Italy; equally, the flourishing of Italian humanism from the late fourteenth century onwards had a major impact on intellectual life in Britain. The aim of this book is to illustrate the continuity and the variety of these exchanges during the period. Each chapter focuses on a specific area (book collection, historiography, banking, commerce, literary production), highlighting the significance of the productive interchange of people and ideas across diverse cultural communities; it is the lived experience of individuals, substantiated by written evidence, that shapes the book's collective understanding of how two European cultures interacted with each other so fruitfully.

Cathars have long been regarded as posing the most organised challenge to orthodox Catholicism in the medieval West, even as a counter-Church to orthodoxy in southern France and northern Italy. Their beliefs, understood to be inspired by Balkan dualism, are often seen as the most radical among medieval heresies. However, recent work has fiercely challenged this paradigm, arguing instead that Catharism was a construct of its persecutors, mis-named and mis-represented by generations of subsequent scholarship, and its supposedly radical views were a fantastical projection of the fears of orthodox commentators. This volume brings together a wide range of views from some of the most distinguished international scholars in the field, in order to address the debate directly while also opening up new areas for research. Focussing on dualism and anti-materialist beliefs in southern France, Italy and the Balkans, it considers a number of crucial issues. These include: what constitutes popular belief; how (and to what extent) societies of the past were based on the persecution of dissidents; and whether heresy can be seen as an invention of orthodoxy. At the same time, the essays shed new light on some key aspects of the political, cultural, religious and economic relationships between the Balkans and more western regions of Europe in the Middle Ages.

The revolt of Owain Glyndwr (1400-c.1415) was a remarkable event in both English and Welsh contexts, and as such was narrated by a number of chroniclers, including Adam Usk, John Capgrave and Edward Halle. They offer a range of perspectives on the events, as well as portrayals of the main characters (especially, of course, Glyndwr himself), the communities involved, and Wales itself.This book studies the representations of the revolt in English chronicles, from 1400 up to 1580. It focuses on the narrative strategies employed, offers a new reading of the texts as literary constructs, and explores the information they present.

When Dudo of Saint-Quentin''s Historia Normannorum first appeared in or around 1015, written for the then Duke of Normandy, Richard II, Dudo created a text without precedent. By committing the lives and deeds of Richard II''s ancestors to written memory for the first time since the foundation of Normandy under the Viking Rollo in 911, Dudo provided the Norman court at Rouen with both an official dynastic historiography and a treasured record of their collective past. The Historia Normannorum was conceived, from the outset, as an idiosyncratic text which purported to be both staunchly traditional and remarkably innovative.This book''s analysis of the Historia uses historical and manuscript evidence, alongside literary theory and approaches from memory studies, to provide fresh insights into the text. It shows the Historia to be one of the most influential and important historical narratives of the Middle Ages, perhaps even the earliest surviving example of an illustrated chronicle from the entire Latin West.Benjamin Pohl teaches in the Department of History, University of Bristol

A remarkable series of Anglo-Saxon wills have survived, spanning the period from the beginning of the ninth century to the years immediately following the Norman Conquest. Written in Old English, they reflect the significance of the vernacular, not only in royal administration during this period, but in the recording of a range of individual transactions. They show wealthy laymen and women, and clerics, from kings and bishops to those of thegnly status, disposing of land and chattels, and recognising ties of kinship, friendship, lordship and service through their bequests; and whilst land is of prime importance, the mention in some wills of such valuable items as tableware, furnishings, clothing, jewellery and weapons provides an insight into lifestyle at the time. Despite their importance, no study has hitherto been specifically devoted to Anglo-Saxon wills in their social and historical context, a gap which this book aims to fill. While the wills themselves can be vague and allusive, by establishing patterns of bequeathing, and by drawing on other resources, the author sheds light on the factors which influenced men and women in making appropriate provision for their property.

In the mid-3rd century BC, King Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt ordered a translation of the ancient Israelite scriptures for the Library of Alexandria, which resulted in the creation of the Septuagint. The original version, published circa 250 BC, only included the Torah, or in Greek terms, the Pentateuch. The Torah is composed of the five books traditionally credited to Moses, circa 1500 BC: Cosmic Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The first of these five books was known as Cosmic Genesis in Greek, however, known as Bereshit in Hebrew, which translates as approximately In the beginning the first few words of the book.The Book of Cosmic Genesis begins by recounting a fusion of ancient Akkadian and Middle Egyptian creation mythology, before telling the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the ancestors of the Israelites. Their stories also include smatterings of Old and Middle Egyptian religious iconography, such as Jacob seeing the ladder up to the sky, which in Egyptian mythology was associated with Osiris since the Old Kingdom era.The book culminates with the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob, all moving to Egypt during a famine in Canaan. Based on the chronology in the Septuagint, his famine would have been during the collapse of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom, which led to a group of Canaanites seizing control of Egypt, as described a the end of Cosmic Genesis.

Muslim scholars advanced science with contributions in areas such as Algebra (al- Khwarizmi), Medicine (hospitals, surgery, antiseptics), Astronomy (star names, celestial observation, new stars and their naming), Optics (Ibn al-Haytham), Chemistry (distillation, crystallization), and the Scientific Method (empirical observation, experimentation).

For twelve centuries, the Book of Kells has captivated readers with pages that seem to glow. This book tells the whole, verifiable story behind that radiance-how calfskin became vellum, how pricking and ruling fixed an invisible grid, how Insular majuscule carried the Gospel in a steady voice, and how pigments such as orpiment, minium, and indigotin were bound with glair and gum to create gold without gold.Following the manuscript from Iona to Kells amid the disruptions of the Viking Age, the narrative assembles the documentary trail that records custody, use, and a famous eleventh-century theft. It situates images-evangelist portraits, the tetramorph, canon tables, and the Chi-Rho page-within a disciplined page architecture where ornament serves theology and reading alike.The account continues into early modern Dublin, when the Gospel entered Trinity College in 1661, and through twentieth-century conservation that disbound, treated, and re-sewed the codex into four volumes for stability and access. Non-invasive imaging and analysis-raking light, infrared and ultraviolet, FORS, Raman, XRF, RTI-reveal materials and methods without sampling, while carefully planned exhibition and surrogates balance public demand with the safety of paint and parchment.This is a fact-driven, reader-friendly synthesis of craft, devotion, and stewardship-how a medieval book was engineered to proclaim, and how modern care keeps it speaking.

From 1872 to 1939, a significant number of Australian and New Zealand artists were chosen for exhibition at the annual French Salons. The imprimatur of the Salons bestowed prestige, publicity and visibility, and increased an artists saleability, both at home and abroad. But the character of the Salons fragmented over time and selection became coloured by the nature of the Salon and the values it represented. Tradition, rebellion, innovation and unique interests became arbiters and by the close of these years, France had lost its position as the centre of the art world.With details drawn from the archives of the Louvre, Australasian Artists at the French Salons, is a fascinating and detailed record of the world of these artists ... their allegiance to a studio or master, their subjects, their travels and their locations. We sense their aspirations and their hopes and their excitement at establishing themselves on a world stage.A fully updated 3rd edition in colour.

Alex Parker has had enough. Every day, he faces relentless bullying from Brandon Pierce-at the bus stop, in the hallways, even in front of teachers who turn a blind eye. But when his grandpa offers to teach him how to handle a gun, Alex thinks hes found the perfect solution. As he learns about weapons, something unexpected happens-he discovers a different kind of power. Kill the Bully is not just a story about gun control; its about the battles we fight within ourselves and the choices we make when facing adversity. Based on true events, Anthony J. Placito delivers a gripping and thought-provoking narrative that challenges perspectives on violence, bullying, and the real meaning of strength.

In his latest book, IMPARTATION, Pastor Fred Kasule addresses the value of impartation. He further adds: Gods program to continue His purposes on earth is through impartation. Impartation from the beginning is the secret to continuity. Man had all that he needed, parts to function, but without the impartation of Gods breath, he was not a living being.There are so many people in obscurity who will never be visible until they have experienced an impartation. Thats why I believe that God will always give us opportunities to receive impartations, because He created us to be useful and impact those around us.Impartation involves the transfer of supernatural abilities, preceded by a willingness to learn. The transfer of these supernatural abilities can come directly from God or through Gods servant, primarily by the laying on of hands.This is a legitimate Biblical practice which, if understood and applied, will enable us to soar in our assignments.
