Box with Romance Scenes, elephant ivory, France. 1310-30.

This coffret illustrated with scenes from Arthurian and other courtly literature of the Middle Ages is one of the most imposing examples to survive. The lid represents the assault on the metaphorical fortress, Castle of Love, with a tournament and knights catapulting roses. The left end depicts Tristan and Isolde spied upon by King Mark, and a hunter killing a unicorn trapped by a virgin. The right end shows a knight rescuing a lady from the Wildman (Wodehouse), and Galahad receiving the key to the castle of maidens. At the back are Lancelot and the lion, Lancelot crossing the sword bridge, Gawain asleep on the magic bed, and the maidens welcoming their deliverer. The newly discovered front panel, lost since before 1800, is a poignant depiction of the love tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe and Aristotle teaching Alexander the Great and Phyllis riding on the back of Aristotle.

Pair of Protomes Depicting the Forepart of a Griffin, Greek, 625-575 BCE

A mythical creature revered for its protective powers, the griffin combined a feline body, an avian head, and tall, horse-like ears. It has been argued that the beaked Protoceratops that once roamed Central Asia were the iconographic inspiration for these ferocious beasts. Travelers may have seen the fantastic fossilized remains of the dinosaurs and then created stories to account for them. Meanwhile, local inhabitants may have spread tales about their ferocity as a way to discourage marauders from looting their wealth. These two griffins are highly agitated; their mouths are agape and their tongues curl up as they screech bloodcurdling warnings.

If you are referring to the words intellectual integrity, then respectfully I was not aiming at just you we must all use intellectual integrity.

The trick is to understand the meaning of those words.

Anyone that thinks they know something is unfortunately not using intellectual integrity.

To use intellectual integrity is to have enough humility to at least entertain both sides of an argument and to go so far as to experiment till either side can be proven as factual.

And the humility to admit to ourselves that weโ€™ve been lied to all our lives and there for knowing any truths is a challenge and a change onto itself.

But unfortunately to many , if not all of us tend to fiercely defend our positions without intellectual integrity and it creates unnecessary arguments and emotions.

โ€œThe strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand.โ€

Lโ€™Annรฉe 4338 : Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg
par Vladimir Odoรฏevski publiรฉ en 1835 (illustration du livre)

Lโ€™Annรฉe 4338 : Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg est un roman futuriste de Vladimir Odoรฏevski publiรฉ en 1835. Cette ล“uvre a รฉtรฉ conรงue ร  lโ€™origine comme le troisiรจme volet dโ€™une trilogie, qui devait รฉgalement prรฉsenter des reprรฉsentations de la Russie ร  lโ€™รฉpoque de Pierre le Grand et dans la pรฉriode contemporaine de lโ€™auteur, les annรฉes 1830. La premiรจre partie nโ€™a jamais รฉtรฉ รฉcrite et la seconde, futuriste, est restรฉe inachevรฉe. Des fragments ont รฉtรฉ publiรฉs en 1835 et 1840, la version la plus complรจte parut en 1926.

Le monde dรฉcrit dans lโ€™ล“uvre dโ€™Odoรฏevski est ร  certains รฉgards similaire au XXIe siรจcle et pourtant diffรจre considรฉrablement du prรฉsent que nous rencontrons actuellement. Parmi les avancรฉes technologiques incluses dans les Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg, citons les voyages aรฉriens et spatiaux, le tรฉlรฉphone, les climats contrรดlรฉs artificiellement et la possibilitรฉ de photocopier. Les drogues hallucinogรจnes et de vรฉritรฉ, sous forme de boissons gazeuses et de ยซ bains magnรฉtiques ยป, รฉliminent lโ€™hypocrisie de la vie sociale. Dans cet avenir envisagรฉ, la Russie et la Chine sont les centres du pouvoir mondial. La Russie et la Chine ont uni leurs efforts pour รฉviter la collision de la Terre avec une autre planรจte. Dans le roman, la Chine est dรฉcrite comme ayant connu une ยซ stagnation mortelle ยป qui a pris fin avec le rรจgne de Hin Gin au 39รจme siรจcle. Le personnage principal de lโ€™histoire est en fait un รฉtudiant chinois, Ippolit Tsunguev, (et non un personnage russe, comme on pourrait sโ€™y attendre) qui frรฉquente lโ€™รฉcole principale de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg. Ses lettres ร  ses camarades de classe constituent le roman.

L'auteur a rรฉdigรฉ ce livre en 1835. Comment a-t-il pu connaรฎtre tous les dรฉtails du style de vie qu'il dรฉcrit, qui semble tellement similaire au nรดtre en 2024 ?

O que se pode saber de verdade, com pouca pesquisa, รฉ que TUDO, ABSOLUTAMENTE TUDO na natureza tem seu ciclo: nasce ou surge, cresce ou se desenvolve, chega so seu apogeu e comeรงa a involucionar.
Seja uma arvore, seja um leรฃo, seja uma civilizaรงรฃo.
O problema รฉ que os registros da รฉpoca em que uma civilizaรงรฃo estava evolucionando NรƒO os temos de forma integral. O que sobra รฉ o registro da era involutiva, com todas as suas aberraรงรตes...

Sundial of Ahaz, leaf from the Postilla Litteralis (Literal Commentary) of Nicholas of Lyra.

Paris, France,
ca. 1360-1380.

With its fan-like shapes that seem to flutter across the page, this leaf exemplifies the medieval diagrammatic tradition at its best. What feels like elements lifted from a 20th century-century watercolor are in fact abstract sundials used to illustrate a fine point of 14th-century biblical exegesis.

The leaf comes from the landmark study of Nicholas of Lyra (1270-1349), Master of Theology of the University of Paris, which provided commentary on every book of the Bible. The story here, found in both Isaiah (38:1-8) and 2 Kings (20:1-11), recounts Godโ€™s willingness to turn the shadow of the sun back 10 degreesโ€”approximately one hour--as a sign to the Judean King Hezekiah. The illustrations on this leaf present two different ways of charting the miraculous reversal of time.
