medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I am looking for examples of saints who were associated with mills or millstones. Probably one of the best known is St Piran who is said to have sailed from Ireland to Cornwall on a millstone! But are there any other examples? Gerallt D.

I clearly am going to need a fancy browser to look at a lot of these things. While I am happy to try this particular one, I´ve run across other reconstructions that also needed plug-ins or special browsers. My questions for the technologically literate on the list: 1) are such plug-ins / browsers going to be unique to each site, or is there a generic 3-D browser that is likely to work (and to stay viable for the next few years)? 2) How much memory do these things require? I need to have adequate memory both in my own laptop and in the classroom computer. I´m due for an upgrade from my institution - how much memory am I likely to need to be able to cope with the latest technology (and for that which may soon be appearing?)

It's one of several digital reconstructions from the Open Virtual Worlds group at the University of St. Andrews. For the full experience you must create an account on their server and have installed a virtual-world browser. They have one available for download, which may require a Microsoft Kinect in order to function properly (n.b., I haven't tried this myself). http://virtualworlds.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/cathedral/index.php If you don't care to install the necessary application, you could simply look at a video tour of the digitally reconstructed church: http://blogs.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/openvirtualworlds/reconstructions/st-andrews-cathedral/ Phil Feller On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 2:20 PM, Cormack, Margaret Jean <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings all, I have purchased the DVDs from York which interactively explore parish churches, pilgrimage, etc. However, insofar as I have been able to figure them out, while these disks contain demonstrations of the stages of construction of a church from the Anglo-saxon period onward, and text with photos of a number of existing churches, there is no virtual "tour" of an existing church. Do list members know of any such? Of course I'm aware of the newly discovered wall paintings in Wales, but I'd love to be able to take my students on a "virtual tour" of a historic church (the fact that it may have been modified in the course of time is irrelevant, I'd like to be able to show how it is as a start to thinking about how it "was"). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Meg ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion YMWADIAD Mae pob neges ebost a anfonir i neu gan Amgueddfa Cymru yn cael ei sganio gan systemau diogelwch awtomatig er mwyn rheoli negeseuon digymell a dileu cynnwys amhriodol neu beryglus.
