Abstract
Notes on two Cistercian engraved designs
Peter Fergusson
1 - 17
At Byland Abbey and at Jervaulx full-scale drawings engraved on masonry throw light on Cistercian design practice. At Byland a hexafoil plan of a fasciculated pier can be restored and its geometry worked out; but it is not represented in the built piers and was probably an intermediate, rejected design of the 1160s. At Jervaulx a template drawing on a choir respond shows detailing of Byland type, possibly indicating actual transfer of masons c 1190-1200. The specifically Cistercian nature of these remains an open question.
The Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth: parody and its purpose. A suggestion
Valerie I J Flint
447 - 468
Geoffrey's intention was not merely to parody and mock contemporary society: his profounder purpose was to question the authority which 12th century Anglo-Norman writers hoped to claim, and to uphold human rather than celibate values, and he must be considered to have contributed to 12th century monastic reform. His 'liber vetustissimus' was very probably a joke.
