Another of the Wonders of the Medieval Period


Earlier in the term, we looked at the Irish monks who were 'furiously copying' and the process for creating a book. We specifically looked at the Gospel Book that is known as the Book of Kells.

Click on the link http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/pharos/sections/making_art/manuscript.html and view an interactive program from the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England. It will provide you with a detailed look at the creation of a Pontifical - the book that is used by a Bishop when he celebrates Sacraments and Rites that are particular to his ministry (for example, Ordinations, the Dedication of Churches, etc.)

Lizi said...

hey peeps, wheres the little thingy bout the senators

Lizi said...

What's this about???? I don't get it!!!!!! I don't even go to the choir school! I go to Evergreen Jr. High and in my spare time I like to be a snob and Mr. Glenn, CHANGE THE SEATING ARRANGEMENTS OR ELSE I'LL....UH...DO SOMETHING? GOSSIIP!~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lizi said...

snobs are awesome

Matthew Yost said...

annie Morey (gertrude mcsnob):

Are you a 7th grader? I'd be willing to bet good money that 'you' are.

Matthew Yost said...

Mr. Glenn,

GET WELL SOON!!

Matthew

Lizi said...

matthew yost, you are being ridiculous. I am a ninth grader at a non-choir school.

Matthew Yost said...

Leonato: Neighbors, you are tedious.

Matthew Yost said...

Oh, right,

For those who have not been enlightened, meet Kunta Kinte, Mandinka fighting man.

Matthew Yost said...

On the topic of "gertrude mcsnob":

1. "McSnob." Not in the phonebook.
Synthesis: Gertrude McSnob is a code-name of some sort.
2. Her profile says she is 13. She says she is in ninth grade. I am one of the youngest in my class, which is grade 8, and I am 13.
Antithesis: probably an error.
Synthesis: Most likely an error.
3. If you don't go to this school, why are you on a related-web-site? It isn't some hot-spot/mall for teens to hang out, and (Mr.Glenn, if your reading this, I mean this in the kindest way:) most teens would probably rather be... shopping, or whatever they do (I wouldn't know).
Antithesis: you were probably just
'surfing' or whatever, and came across this site and decided to post.
Synthesis: If you don't go to this school, I ask you: why are you here? If you do, I ask you: who are you?

ARGH!!

Lizi said...

1. It stands for Annie Morey. But I play Gertrude McSnob and that's my nickname.

2. I made a typo.

3. I have a friend who goes to the choir school and told me this website.

NOW are you happy, smart one???????????????

Lizi said...

OKay. another add on to my post.

1. You are right. It's a code name for Annie MOrey. But what if I was unlisted?

2. Yes, it's a typo. But what if I skipped a grade?

3. I have a friend who goes to the choir school. Dummy!

I"m a snob, a snob, a snob, a snob, a snob, a snob, a snob.

Matthew Yost said...

No.

I still want to know:
1. Why you are here,
2. Who betrayed the secret... cult... (don't worry, they won't be tortured)
3. And why "Gertrude McSnob"?

Furthermore, I'd have you take note that:

1. As a new member of this blog, you are entitled to do all the homework, labor, etc. that is associated w/ it.
2. Your blog is pretty random.
3. Your 'last name' contains the letters McS. I'm still not convinced of your claimed identity.(As some people say: 'jk'; I believe you.)

Matthew Yost said...

1. I own the phonebook company. You weren't unlisted or entered.
2. Skipped a grade? Grades aren't very flat; if you tried to skip one, it'd just sink.
3. There is nobody @ the MCS called 'Dummy.' This comment on your part shows two things: your alibi is very unlikely,
and it reflects a certain personality trait to call somebody such a derogative name, especially without substantial or, even worse, any evidence.

Good day to you.

Lizi said...

Argument:

1. I am here because a friend told me to post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am a snob.

2. mY friend is ***eagle***, which is her alterego. Mine is of a snob.

3. You wouldn't get it unless you went to my school!!!!!!

Your other argument:

1. Why should I do the homework if I don't go to the choir school?

2. Randomness is good

3. My last name is Morey. Which contains MOR.

Your other argument:

1. How can a 7th grader own the phone book company?

A ninth grader can. I own the phone book company. And I made myself unlisted so no rivals can see me.

2. Unless you have synesthesia, which is extremely rare, you can't perceive grades as "flat".

Also, a grade is a kind of rock in my language.

3. I call everyone dummy. Even my friends. It's a term of endearment. Also I call people smart ones. But I'm not maren.

Maybe dummy is their alterego like gertrude mcsnob is mine.

Lizi said...

Oh, by the way, one word. one VERY IMPORTANT WORD

sarajevo

Lizi said...

sarajevo is very important in breaking the gertrude mcsnob code

Chris H. said...

Ha! Do you know what happened in Serajevo on June 28, 1914? I bet you don't!

Lizi said...

it was the site of the assasination that sparked world war one

Chris H. said...

You looked that up, didn't you?

Lizi said...

no. sarajevo is awesome. it is the capital of bosnia-herezgovina. it was where the winter olympics were in 1984.
