Hoy titulamos con una entrega especial de Por los dioses, en emisión compartida con Calamares a la Romana y Lignum en Roma, los podcast hermanos de Sergio Alejo y Ángel Portillo. En esta ocasión, nos hablarán de arqueología experimental aplicada el mundo romano, para lo que han viajado, en voz al menos, hasta Argentina para hablar con Ariel y Diego, recreacionistas de la legio X Gemina que nos explicarán nada menos que lo que era marchar tal y como lo hacían las legiones hace ya dos milenios, en distancia, impedimenta y demás características que nos harán sentir la carga del día a día en el ejército romano. La siguiente propuesta será una nueva entega, la segunda tras su estreno en el último programa de la temporada pasada, de Scriptorium, una sección en la que os damos cuenta de novedades editoriales en ensayo y novela histórica, que nos sirve para hablaros de los libros que nos envían varias editoriales, e incluso autores directamente. En esta ocasión os hablamos de Los Austrias (Rubén Buren, Pinolia), Los últimos días de los dinosarios (Riley Black, Capitán Swing), Las máscaras de Julia (Sandra Parente, Desperta Ferro), Los Últimos hijos de Bodo (David Henales, Mascarón de Proa), Sangre en las máquinas (Brian Merchant, Capitán Swing), La bandera en la cumbre (Pablo Batalla, Capitán Swing) y Paralelo (Diego Pozo, Uno). Alguno de estos libros protagonizarán los próximos sorteos de LBP. Las reseñas correrán de la mano del trío bibliotecario. En la repetición, volvemos a la antigua Grecia, concretamente a la Acrópolis de Atenas, y lo hacemos de la mano de los Viajes de Aspasia y su maravillosa guía, Mariajo Noain. Hablaremos de los orígenes de este lugar sagrado de Atenas, de cómo los olímpicos Atenea y Poseidón lucharon por el patrocinio de la ciudad y de los templos, con el Partenón a la cabeza, que conforman este emblemático enclave.

My guest today is once again Stephen Jenkinson, a culture activist, teacher and author, and principal instructor of The Orphan Wisdom School, co-founded with his wife Nathalie Roy. He has Master's degrees from Harvard University (Theology) and the University of Toronto (Social Work).The School, though now formally closed, has made an incredibly significant mark on my life and Stephen continues to tour and teach all over the world. I've had the wild good fortune to have collaborated with Stephen in numerous ways, including producing the short film Lost Nation Road, as well as being part of the team architecting The Scriptorium - an Orphan Wisdom online archive.His most recent book Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work, is the subject of our conversation today.In a time when many couples are opting out of marriage altogether, sensing that the modern wedding has often become a hollow performance, Stephen offers a different perspective. He suggests that “wedding” and “matrimony” are not interchangeable at all. One is largely engineered so that nothing really happens; the other, when approached as a deity, can be an alchemical ritual, where vows are enactments and blessings might bind all who attend with real consequence.Through personal stories from the trenches, Stephen reminds us that matrimony, at its core, is a radical act of citizenship: a cultural undertaking where love is asked to nourish more than the couple themselves, and where village emerges from the willingness to place life at the center.LINKS* Stephen Jenkinson Official Website* The Scriptorium* Matrimony - Ritual, Culture and the Heart's WorkSHOW NOTES* 00:01 — Ian introduces Stephen Jenkinson and frames the conversation around his new book Matrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart's Work.* 00:02 — Stephen names the modern wedding as a hollow performance engineered so that “nothing really happens.”* 00:03 — Ian describes matrimony as a radical act of citizenship where love is asked to serve culture, not just the couple.* 00:05 — Stephen recounts learning to understand death as a deity, a presence requiring etiquette and literacy.* 00:06 — He draws the parallel: matrimony, too, is a neglected deity — an ancestral presence asking something of us.* 00:07 — Ian speaks about how witnessing Stephen's ceremonies reshaped his understanding of what a wedding can be.* 00:08 — Discussion of village-making: thresholds like death and matrimony as visitations where culture has a chance to appear.* 00:15 — Stephen distinguishes ritual from celebration and explains why most weddings are not rituals at all.* 00:16 — He clarifies the differences between weddings, marriage, and matrimony — three undertakings often collapsed into one.* 00:17 — Exploration of the etymology: matrimony rooted in mother — the repertoire of mothering culture.* 00:18 — Matrimony as a repertoire of culture-mothering, not dependent on having biological children.* 00:41 — Stephen describes “the sacraments of trade” and how ancestral presence is elevated in a true matrimonial exchange.* 00:42 — Ian reflects on death and matrimony as moments when life, not the individual, is placed at the center.* 00:51 — Ian describes how village-mindedness appears through threshold events: birth, death, love, and the guidance of community.* 01:04 — Stephen shares what it meant to be a “spirit lawyer” for matrimony, serving the deity rather than the couple.ADDITIONAL EPISODES This is a public episode.

For our first Umineko minilog, we venture west, with our first Western RPG discussion, Obsidian's Medieval Murder Mystery game, Pentiment! The Bavarian village of Tassig and Kiersau Abbey play host to the lives of many people, including visiting artist Andreas Maler, who gets swept up in the murder of a valuable patron of the Abbey's Scriptorium. We discuss the nature of truth in history, the role of religion in the lives of people who would rather just be left alone, and the impact of the printing press on the world. It's educational!
In dieser Folge sprechen Christina und Florian über No Players Online, Bladesong, Toy Tactics, Le Fol, Let Bions Be Bygones, Scriptorium: Master Of Manuscripts und Bloodgrounds.

Último programa de la temporada, con tres propuestas novedosas y ninguna repetición. Titulamos, para variar, con las Fuentes de la Vida, con Mikel Carramiñana a la batuta, en el segundo capítulo dedicado a la lactancia materna en la historia. Si la primera nos llevó desde las primeras civilizaciones hasta Grecia, hoy nos quedaremos en Roma. Abordaremos lugares tan trascendentales como la Columna lactaria o la figura de los hermanos de leche, cuyos primeros protagonistas se remontan nada menos que a Rómulo y Remo, que fueron amamantados tanto por la loba Luperca como por Aca Larentia. La segunda propuesta será una nueva sección: Scriptorium. En la misma, abordaremos nuevas propuestas literarias, tanto en ensayo como en novela histórica. Nos rodearemos de buenos libros, y de la mejor gente: el terceto bibliotecario al completo. Y de paso aprovecharemos para hablaros de los libros que sorteamos. Prueba piloto que esperamos consolidar la temporada que viene. Y cerramos por todo lo alto, con el último capítulo, quinto de la temporada, de las Aventuras del Vizcaíno. Veremos qué final ha dado Bikendi Goiko-uria a sus personajes. Como colofón, haremos despedida a tres voces.

On this episode of Catholic Forum, after a news update from TheDialog.org, we talk with D. P. Curtin, Ph.D., the leader of The Scriptorium Project, a unique patristic (the branch of Christian theology that deals with the lives, writings, and doctrines of the early Christian theologians) organization. D. P. (or Dermot) has translated over 600 texts relating to the development of the Western World between the 5th and 15th centuries. We learn a lot from this expert antiquarian (a person who studies or collects antiques or antiquities) who has been (at least once) called the "Indiana Jones of ancient texts." Apologies for being so parenthetical (relating to or inserted as a parenthesis.) You can see a video of this interview on the Diocese of Wilmington's YouTube channel - YouTube.com/DioceseofWilm.

Nel mondo digitale stiamo perdendo l'abitudine di scrivere a mano. La calligrafia è sempre meno curata e spesso ci dimentichiamo come si scrivono alcune lettere in corsivo maiuscolo. Chi ha capito il valore della scrittura è la regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, prima in Italia ad aver riconosciuto ufficialmente la figura del "tecnico del segno". Le Donne al Volante, Katia De Rossi e Agnese Spinelli ne hanno parlato insieme al professore Roberto Giurano, presidente della fondazione Scriptorium Foroiuliense. «Il tecnico del segno non è da confondere con un amanuense o con un calligrafo perché ha diverse competenze. Sa rappresentare il segno con diversi strumenti, con il pennino, con la penna d'oca, con la matita. Ha nozioni di storia, conosce il latino e soprattutto è in grado di insegnare ai giovani».I GIOVANI E LA SCRITTURA - Il professor Giurano ci ha spiegato anche il rapporto tra i ragazzi e la scrittura a mano. «Oggi i giovani si avvicinano alla scrittura più che altro per i tatuaggi. Sembra assurdo, ma l'affinità fra scrittura e tattoo oggi è da loro molto sentita. Basta guardare sulle braccia, si trovano tante scritte in gotico». Riguardo a ciò che verrà, il professore ci dice la sua. «Vedo roseo il futuro per la scrittura. Tuttavia, i giovani rincominceranno a scrivere bene quando anche gli insegnanti impareranno a scrivere a loro volta. Non è colpa loro: abbiamo lasciato da parte l'insegnamento della scrittura e adesso abbiamo una generazione che non è in grado di insegnare a scrivere. Questa è la verità».

Medieval manuscripts are so wondrously beautiful they deserve comparison with the world's finest works of art. But what lay behind the book's production? We might think of rows of monks, patiently toiling away in a hushed chamber - but that would be to ignore the actual conditions of book production. Sara Charles (The Medieval Scriptorium: Making Books in the Middle Ages) takes Jacke into the dirty, smelly, boring, and back-breaking world of an actual medieval scriptorium. PLUS Dante scholar Elizabeth Coggeshall (On Amistà: Negotiating Friendship in Dante's Italy) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. Additional listening suggestions: 589 Dante and Friendship (with Elizabeth Coggeshall) 613 Celebrating the Book-Makers (with Adam Smyth) 569 The Man with a Passion for Medieval Manuscripts (with Christopher de Hamel) The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

The Medieval Scriptorium: Making Books in the Middle Ages (Reaktion, 2024) by Sara J. Charles takes the reader on an immersive journey through mediaeval manuscript production in the Latin Christian world. Each chapter opens with a lively vignette by a mediaeval narrator – including a parchment-maker, scribe and illuminator – introducing various aspects of manuscript production. Charles poses the question ‘What actually is a scriptorium?', and explores the development of the mediaeval scriptorium from its early Christian beginnings through to its eventual decline and the growth of the printing press. With the written word at the very heart of the Christian monastic movement, we see the immense amount of labour, planning and networks needed to produce each individual manuscript. By tapping into these processes and procedures, we can experience mediaeval life through the lens of a manuscript maker. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
