...Germanic Museum has recently received from Mr. Henry W. Putnam '69, of Boston, a plaster cast of a statue of a Roman soldier--a companion figure to the statue of the Frankish warrior which has been in the Museum since its opening. This new plaster cast, like the old one, is from the Romisch Germanisches Museum at Mainz. Like the Frankish warrior, it is equipped with exact reproductions of arms, the originals of which are in the possession of the Mainz museum. Together the two figures give a very interesting illustration of the way in which Roman military art influenced...
Pointing out how strong was the influence of the scholar in Italy during the revival of learning, Dr. Sandys went on to show how natural it was that virtue, which had meant manliness in the Roman Age and goodness in the Middle Ages, in this period came to mean mainly a knowledge of Latin. The theory of education in the Middle Ages was unfolded for us by the treatises of Aeneas Sylvius, and its practice illustrated by the writings of Vittorino Guarino and others. But these men were theorists; far greater were the two teachers who exemplify the practice...
...play this year, Franz and Paul von Schonthan's "Der Raub der Sabinerinnen," is perhaps the most farcical which the Verein has yet presented. Martin Gollwitz, a professor in a small town, whose wife and unmarried daughter Paula are away on a visit, consents to the production of a Roman tragedy entitled "Der Raub der Sabinerinnen," which he had written when a student and had recently discovered among some old manuscripts. An itinerant actor named Striese undertakes to present the play, and rehearsals are well under way, when Mrs. Gollwitz and Paula unexpectedly return to town. Mrs. Gollwitz is very...
...tendencies was largely responsible for breaking up the unity of the Mediterranean empire. A fanatical crisis in Bagdad at the end of the eighth century, M. Millet said, and a thorough reform of the Christian church in the eleventh century, coupled with the desire to restore the old Roman empire, was directly responsible for the Crusades. These served to subdue the Mohammedans--the "yellow peril" of the Middle Ages. With the decline of the Crusading spirit Europe came into contact with the luxury of the East; and great commercial natons, such as Venice, came into prominence. While the empire...
Continuing from where he left off in his previous lecture, which dealt with the early history of the Mediterranean races and the Roman empire before its dissolution. M. Millet showed what an important role Christianity and Mohammedanism played in breaking up the unity of the old world. The philosophy of Christianity differed greatly from the Roman cult which demanded no personal reflection and did not address itself to the heart. The early Christians were to a great extent in the same position as the socialists and anarchists of the present day, who, on account of their unorthodox inspirations are rightly...
