Faces in the London Pórtico de la Gloria

All these faces are cut out of pictures of the plaster copy in the Victoria & Albert Museum at London of the Pórtico de la Gloria in Saint James's cathedral at Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Courtesy and © (permission given on 22-5-9) of Mr. Gareth Thomas who took al of these photos on the eve of his pilgrimage from England through France to Santiago. Also see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz_kusZqrLQ .

You may read more about the making of these pictures and Gareth's pilgrimage in Re: The Santiago Enigma by Gareth Thomas on March 29th, 2008, 11:37 pm on http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-about-santiago/topic3794.html#p20890 .

This was followed by reactions on The Santiago Enigma like:
http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-about-santiago/topic3794-25.html#p21219 and

http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-about-santiago/topic3794-25.html#p21968 .

You may notice first Daniel’s vivid and human face and then the spiritual and similar faces of the Christ in Majesty and both James’s (Major and Minor). These pictures make it obvious that Master Mateo had a purpose or a mission, if not a direct order from his bishop to create these clear similarities.

Did anyone ever read or hear about Mateo's iconographic program for the Pórtico de la Gloria at Compostela?

Nieuw!

Waat staat Sant iago eigenlijk voor?

Welke raadselen vragen nog om een oplossing?

Zie op het grote Santiagoforum te Santiago de Compostela:

The Santiago Enigma by PILGRIMSPLAZA on March 21st, 2008, 6:00 pm op http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-about-santiago/topic3794.html

Daarop is de hamvraag:

5. How jewish Jacobus became catholic James

Het antwoord is nog niet gegeven, dus wat let u…

"At Bryn Mawr Miss King became a tradition and a cult; now she is a legend."

"Because this work is culturally important..."

News! 'King' herdrukt (foto)

The Way of Saint James van Georgiana Goddard King (1920) is recent in Santa Fe in Niew Mexico in de VS herdrukt en is nu ook op internet onbeperkt en in diverse leesedities voor een ieder beschikbaar.

Voor een ongewijzigde fotografische herdruk (met nieuwe korte inleidingen), zie http://www.pilgrimsprocess.com/events.htm ; mijn bestelling deed er een week over.

Voor diverse tweedehands exemplaren van deze herdruk, zie onder meer http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?cm_sp=search-_-collectibles-_-na (of www.alibris.com )

Voor nog enkele antiquarische eerste drukken, zie bijvoorbeeld http://www.abebooks.com en zoek op auteur en titel of ga direct naar http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=georgiana+goddard+king&bsi=30&tn=the+way+of+saint+james&x=32&y=11&prevpage=1 waar je van de herdruk tientallen edities te kust en te keur vindt. Enkele originele eerste drukken uit 1920 staan onderaan op de laatste pagina.

‘King’ lag (of ligt?) ook te leen of ter inzage in de Openbare en de Koninklijke Bibliotheek (in het centrum respectievelijk bij CS) te ’s-Gravenhage.

Zie de volledige inhoudsopgave van alle drie King-delen hieronder op http://pilgrimsplaza-king-index.blogspot.com . Meer over en besprekingen op enkele King-weblogs onder www.pelgrimspaden.nl en op het grote forum te Santiago de Compostela ( http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com ) in The Santiago Enigma by PILGRIMSPLAZA op http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-about-santiago/topic3794.html#p20649 .

Op dat Santiagoforum is recent in reactie op Jacobus ook veel geschreven over zijn ‘concurrent’ Priscillianus; zie Pilgrimage to Heresy: Don't Believe Everything They Tell You by Priscillian op http://www.pilgrimage-to-santiago.com/board/miscellaneous-topics/topic3554.html#p18832 . Ook een mooi geschreven boek!

Bijeenkomst

American pilgrims 2007 (!)

If you were not able to attend, you can get some sense of what you missed by browsing through the beautiful program (PDF, 700KB): Pilgrimage to America - Gathering of Pilgrims - Williamsburg, Virginia - March 9-11, 2007 (!) http://www.americanpilgrims.com ; http://www.americanpilgrims.com/events/events_national.html

“Prayer and pilgrimage”—Rev. Michael Wyatt, Chair of American Pilgrims on the Camino, former Canon Theologian at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and now at St. John’s Episcopal Church in What does it mean to walk for spiritual reasons? What about religious reasons? Explore together what methods help us remain both open and focused as pilgrims.

“Pilgrims and Crusaders”—Phil Daileader, a nationally known authority on the Crusades, is also the scholar behind the distinguished lectures on The Early Middle Ages and The High Middle Ages from The Great Courses audio series. He received his doctorate in medievalhistory from Harvard University in 1996, and has been teaching at William and Mary since 1998.

His books include The World of Islam, Themes of Islamic Civilization and Roman Catholics and Shi’i Muslims.

For the first time, more foreign pilgrims [in Santiago de Compostela]

La Voz de Galicia reports today [January 30th, 2008] that for the first time since statistics where collected in 1985 that there are more foreigners receiving the compostela than Spaniards. The article focuses on the fact that last year, 58.700 foreigners recieved the compostela and “only” 55 326 Spaniards. The articles also mentions that pilgrims from 121 countries received the compostela in 2007.

Nieuws: 'King' is in de VS herdrukt als pocketbook en ook de eerste druk uit 1920 (foto) is nog verkrijgbaar! Mijn zending deed er nog geen week over. Iedereen kan nu dit verbijsterende en ontroerende meesterwerk op de eigen pc lezen en kopiëren. Doe mee aan de bespreking en meld u aan in het reactieformulier onderaan deze pagina.
Editorial Review op Amazon.com: Book Description - In Three Volumes. This scarce antiquarian book is included in our special Legacy Reprint Series. In the interest of creating a more extensive selection of rare historical book reprints, we have chosen to reproduce this title even though it may possibly have occasional imperfections such as missing and blurred pages, missing text, poor pictures, markings, dark backgrounds and other reproduction issues beyond our control. Because this work is culturally important, we have made it available as a part of our commitment to protecting, preserving and promoting the world's literature. [Mijn net uit de VS ontvangen eerste druk is vrijwel gaaf en ruikt ook heerlijk!- gb] http://www.amazon.com/Way-Saint-James-V3/dp/1432683349/ref=pd_rhf_p_1/103-5192896-7687066

De lezer is van harte uitgenodigd om aan de elders op www.pelgrimspaden.nl geplaatste besprekingen een vervolg te geven. Einddoel daarvan is een handzame dundruk van dit standaardwerk in het Nederlands, waarmee de pelgrim onderweg de talloze kerk-, kunst-, architectuur- en plaatsbeschrijvingen in Frankrijk en Spanje ter plekke kan nalezen. Dat is een enerverende ervaring die ik in Israël had! Zie http://pilgrimsplaza.blogspot.com.http://demo.openlibrary.org/search?q=Georgiana+Goddard+King.

The Way of Saint James
Georgiana Goddard King
1920, by THE HISPANIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA
The Knickerbocker Press, New York
HISPANIC NOTES AND MONOGRAPHS I

Zie onderaan deze lange pagina het FOREWORD om een indruk te krijgen. Mevrouw King was in alle opzichten een klasse apart. Nog lang nadat haar collega's dat niet meer deden droeg zij nog haar zwarte toga. Ze doceerde uit het hoofd en in een geheel verduisterd lokaal opdat haar studenten geen notities konden maken. Het bijzondere taalgebruik vormt een belangrijk aspect van de onweerstaanbare charme van haar meesterwerk. Ik ben er als een blok voor gevallen.

BOOK ONE: THE PILGRIMAGE band 1: hoofdstukken I - V
BOOK TWO: THE WAY band 1: hoofdstukken I - VIII
BOOK TWO: THE WAY band 2: hoofdstukken IX - XVI
BOOK THREE: THE BOURNE band 3: hoofdstukken I - VII
BOOK FOUR: HOMEWARD band 3: hoofdstukken I - III

Het werk bestaat uit (foto) drie aparte in een linnen omslag ingebonden banden, elk iets groter dan een pocketbook, maar toch passend in de binnenzak. Deze 3 banden omvatten samen 31 hoofdstukken in samen 4 boeken (BOOKS).

BOOK ONE en de 1e helft van BOOK TWO zitten samen in band 1. Band 2 omvat slechts de 2e helft van BOOK TWO. BOOK THREE en BOOK FOUR staan samen in band 3.

Elk boek (maar niet elke band - dat maakt het een beetje ingewikkeld) heeft rubrieken als Appendix, Bibliography, Illustrations en Notes, waar de paginanummering opnieuw begint.

FOREWORD

During my stay in Rome of two years and a half, I employed all the spare time I had from Books and Libraries in viewing the Monuments; and I at last prescribed to myself a certain Method in making my Observations so as to go through the whole City in twenty Days. This same I repeated as often as either at the Request of my Friends or for my own Satisfaction I surveyed the city, always allotting twenty Days to review the whole. -- Père Montfaucon.

FOLLOWING the precedent of the learned Benedictine, I have made one straight story out of three years' wanderings, and places visited and revisited. The outcome offers, first, a record of what exists, where other accounts are incomplete or inaccessible, and, secondly, an explanation of it. Spain is a long way off, and pictures are not always explicit. It has taken seven years of my life. The writer's contribution, in particular, is first, a record and inter

pretation of iconographic detail all along the way, e. g., at Leyre from observation, at Santiago from Aymery Picaud's account; second, an attempt to date, by comparison with such dated examples as exist, without any à priori; third and last, an occasional small hypothesis and the ground for it, e. g., about the original west front at Compostella, and the cult of Santiago. The general intention is stated at length in the first chapter; briefly, it was to discover and record the evidence of Spain's debt in architecture to other countries, France in especial, during the Middle Age. By contrast with the French style which came in along the Camino francés, it was necessary to define the Spanish styles which that supplanted or modified, and was swallowed up in at last: this must justify the consideration given twice or thrice to earlier churches on sites now occupied, especially to the earlier sanctuaries of the Apostle. At Leon Sr. Lampérez had already made such a study. The intention being to supplement his work and Street's great book, not to compete with them, repetition of what Street had published is avoided and, in consequence, only a single aspect of each of the great cathedrals can figure here. To deal adequately with any one, would want a book at least as large as this. [Drawing from Street’s book; see http://king-early-days.blogspot.com & http://king-renaissance.blogspot.com –gb]

For those who desire to secure facts while avoiding the context, a very careful Index is supplied. This makes it possible for the learned to look up a church unmolested by the dust of the highway, and even the learned may care to look into the pages for some of the churches which are, so far as may be ascertained, hitherto unpublished: of these are Torres, Barbadelo, Puerto Marin. The writer has looked into a good many old books and not a few remote and distinguished periodicals. The excursus into what may seem the field of comparative literature, indispensable to the argument, was long, laborious, and scrupulously at first hand. The religions of the Roman Empire were investigated in competent and first-rate authorities, which are enumerated in the bibliography. Cursor Mundi is cited so often, though an English work, because it is precisely what it calls itself, a Pilgrim of the World, that has gathered up an immense quantity of current and floating lore, and represents just what might be in the head of any stonecutter or master of the works. It is a popular and plebian substitute for Vincent and Honorius. The Bibliography represents not the books consulted but those which yielded matter of worth, -- a very small proportion. In the Appendix are printed a few pièces juslificatifs: quotations in verse or others too long for a footnote; the Grande Chanson des Pèlerins, the Great and the Little Hymn of S. James and his Miracles out of the Acta Sanctorum, the Miracles of our Lady of Villa-Sirga out of the Cantigas del Rey Sabio, Thurkill's Vision, and a selection of Itineraries for the curious stay-at-home.

Possibly it will be said that this little book is neither one thing nor the other, for it offers archaeology without jargon, and travel without flippancy. The writer's hope is that the learning, however small, may be judged sound, and the style not unworthy of it in being the ordinary vehicle, which is the daily speech of cultivated people: and that some worth and some pleasure may consist in the exact account of what was done and seen with the sense and in the light of a whole history and literature yet palpable and precious, though less familiar to the gentle reader than the immortal ambience of the Lombard plain and the hill-towns of Tuscany. To pay the gratitude I owe to all who have helped me would take too long a list: it would begin with the great S. James himself, with the good Companion of many days, with a great and generous lover of Spain; and end with the long suffering guardians of books in many libraries, the good-tempered boys and girls who fetched and carried dusty piles, and the outraged librarians who despatched too many tiresome loans by post. Some names however may not be omitted, nor may I leave unsaid my thanks, for untiring and learned assistance, to the Reverend Father Middleton of Villanova College, who has answered questions intricate and importunate; to Dr. Wright and Dr. Patch of Bryn Mawr College, who have read a number of chapters in manuscript, and bettered them, and Dr. Frank and Dr. Barton who have answered demands sudden and surprising; to D. Juan Agapito y Revilla, the Vallasoletan architect and ecclesiologist, for precious time spared to me and the gift of publications, some otherwise unattainable; to my friend D. Angel del Castillo of Corunna for other articles and specific advice and instruction simply invaluable; to D. Benito Fernández Alonso, of the Commission of Historic Monuments in Orense, for many courtesies and gifts; also to Mgr. Ragonesi, the Apostolic Nuncio in Spain; to the Archbishops of Santiago and Burgos and the Bishop of Leon; to the Dean and Chapter ef Santiago and the Abbess of Las Huelgas; to the Canónigo Fabriquero of Mondoñedo and the Canónigo Archivero of Santiago, and D. Felix Ararás, Canónigo Magistral of Burgos: and to twoscore parish priests who without a single exception offered me of their best, from erudition down to new milk, to the glory, in the grand phrase of one of them -- to the glory of religion and of Spain.
G. King. BRYN MAWR, All Souls' Day, 1917.

The illustrations are taken in part from old books and museum pieces, in part from coins, and I have to thank G. F. Hill, of the British Museum, for a generous gift of casts from some coins in that collection; in part also from photographs of my own, and others, better, of E. H. Lowber. For drawings of difficult matter I am greatly indebted to Miss Helen Fernald, Instructor in the History of Art at Bryn Mawr College.

To the Curator of Publications at the Hispanic Society, Miss Isabel K. Macdermott, the reader owes as much as the writer, for her long patience and vigilant oversight during the publication. For the use in Spanish words, names, and titles, she and I are responsible, jointly, but it seems desirable that I should explain the principles to which we conformed; Spanish names of persons and places, and titles of modern books, are spelled and accented in accordance with the latest rulings of the Spanish Academy; the titles of old books are given as the author gave them. But it is a proud truth that the relations between those of English and those of Spanish speech were not established yesterday, nor even during the Peninsular War, but are a part of the ancient heritage of the two nations, and the sign thereof is that Spanish places have English names. We speak of Seville and Corunna, Pampeluna and Saragossa, Castile and Leon, by the same token that Shakespeare wrote of Katharine of Aragon, and Southey of the Infants of Carrion rhyming to Robin Hood's Marion. Those names I have used as we say Venice, Rome, and Florence, Paris, Lyons and Marseilles. They are each a token and a pledge that insularity is merely geographical and not intellectual, that isolation on the other side of the world cannot cut off Americans from talking in free and homely speech of the great places to which they turn with ancestral love and longing. In referring to Kings and Queens of the Spains, and other saints or heroes, I have not been careful always to call them by the same name, but as Jack and Jill may be addressed as John and Joan at times, I have taken the liberties that old acquaintance allowed. To call Isabel the Catholic Elizabeth, or the English Tudor the Isabellan style (though others have done it), I should hold for presumption, but Ferdinand and Alfonso may alternate methinks with Fernando and Alonso when the chronicler or the hagiographer prompts, and S. James is still recognizable as Santiago. This is not meticulous nor pedantic, but it is comfortable and easy, which is a great good in travel. [red highlighting by gb]
