Did you know..


...that there has never been a book about the ‘History of men in the Middle Ages’, nor is it likely that there ever will be one. urgh!

...that the contemporary writers repeatedly described society as made up of three classes(ordines): oratores, bellatores and laboratores(gorblimey, tho i love the words ordines and oratores)

...that there is no cannonical word in english dictionary that rhymes Orange( btw, porange is not a word:)

...that St Paul once said:
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church....sheesh!

...that a writer in India has recently compared women to donkeys....sheeshhhhhhhhh!

...some of my favorite words from the renaissance, i wish were still used:

ordinatio: priestly order
nobilis vir : noble man
nobilis femina: noble woman
rusticus: peasant
locus pacificus: place of peace
and..
doxa: opinion
sierra: mountains
bacchante: priestess

...that I may become a spectacular wrench by the time I am done as I've many other favorite words in latin, italiano, french, hindi and sanskrit so help me God!

...that I may not blog for a while, need to get my head screwed back on my shoulders but smile whoever is reading today, even though I ain't jesus. Yet.

May you find all that you yearn for,
Godspeed:)

  • As a fellow histerical lover of history I concur with your wishes on any explanation of life in the age of bewilderment.

    Great exposure on the terminology.How would you describe todays classification of social strata.(w/o using dumb and dumber for certain rusticus republicanus party members and Fox news personalities!)
    Doxa is an awesome word.

    Enjoy your walkabout. Why not invent a word that will rhyme with Orange. Why not? Shakespeare made up words.
