medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thank you very much Marjorie - you seem to have managed to improve greatly on the exposure of a couple of the photos. My apologies for the failure to photograph the oratory of St Theophile (although he was post-medieval) and get better details of Sainte Croix. Our only excuse is a failing battery coupled with the heat! NB for those who wish to know the Hayes-Milligan family better, husband and son are in second (not first) photo of St Marcel. The view of 'our generous[ly proportioned] photographer' has inspired a new ascetic regime. best wishes Rosemary Hayes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marjorie Greene" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 4:51 AM Subject: [M-R] Rosemary's photos of Corsica medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I suppose the Subject: says it all. Lovely photos, Rosemary! Shutterfly limits my album info to 1000 words so I've copied and pasted from a private e-mail from R all the good stuff that wouldn't fit. One final word (from a former prof of French): Shutterfly turns accents into hash... I know better :-)) MG www.medrelart.shutterfly.com 1) the photos of Mariana are a) the church of Sta Maria Assunta, the former cathedral of Mariana, known as La Canonica, standing 50 metres north of site of 4th cent paleochristian cathedral, remains of which have been found during excavations under former 12th cent episcopal palace. We found it hard to make out basilica and baptistry, perhaps because Christian mosaic described in our 1993 edition of the Blue Guide must have been removed for safe keeping. La Canonica was consecrated 1119 by Bishop of Pisa. It is still in use and there was to be a wedding the day we visited. b) church of San Parteo (one of Corsica's martyrs) built 11th-12th century, excavations around have revealed pagan, paleochristian and medieval cemeteries. present church built in continuation of earlier church built in honour of and perhaps housing relics of San Parteo 2) Aleria has some of best classical remains in France dating back to 6th cent BC 3) Corte is the ancient capital of Corsica. Two rivers (and now two roads) lead from the Roman sites of Aleria and Mariana meeting there. churches photographed a) eglise de l'Annonciation built in 1450 but much altered in 17th cent including facade b) chapel of Sainte Croix - no idea if they had a relic and we seem to have failed to get either date of construction or view of outside Marjorie Greene http://medrelart.shutterfly.com ____________________________________________________________ Criminal Lawyers - Click here. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/Ioyw6iiggBbXH63plCVx4HwWXGlpiMlWQIFM3Xf9ErNuRGJcptwH2T/ ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
