Episode 2, Season 1
The High Middle Ages
30 October 2013 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
We start in Canterbury with the introduction of the church as a political institution.
3000 B.C. , late sixth century B.C. "where some way of thought or human activity is really vital to us then internationalism is accepted"
The Cluny Abbey (southeast of Paris) is an expression of the expansion of human spirit during this period. The abbey was the site of the first translation of the Quran, the first attempt to understand the infidel.
"I must understand so that I may believe" -Peter Abelard "The dull mind rises to truth through that which is material" -Abbott Suger
Finally, the enchanting heads of the Kings and Queens above the portal of Chartres Cathedral.
