We suggest your opening two or three of these
simultaneously for an intriguing effect, mixing together
speech and music, like a medieval motet, that you create. Re-call this page in your browser, while reducing each
.mp3 file, these continuing to play polyphonally as
background to the visual text. At first
books were written out by hand, in manuscript, often
gold-leafed as well as rainbow-coloured, and were read aloud
and chanted from. Then they became black and white printed
books, read silently in intellectual loneliness. Now they can
be the sensuous luminous and harmonious pages, with colour
again, and with song, with voice, through the new/old
technologies of alphabet and number, the zeros and ones, of
our computers, of our information society. With the new
technology we return writing to the recording of human
speech that it really is, an earlier technology, from merely
the letters and the silent eye to the sounding voice and the
ear as well. With thanks to
Godfriends Julie and Ilya in Oxford and to my cousin Robin
in Canada.
For the Mediatheca
'Fioretta Mazzei' library holdings on Julian of Norwich
and other contemplatives, see http://www.florin.ms/libgimel.html.
The library is housed in Florence at the 'English' Cemetery,
P.le Donatello, 38, 50132 FIRENZE, ITALY, and one may become a
member and reader through the gift to it of a book a year.
{In the early Middle Ages, the first two thirds of Christianity, in monasteries and convents, women could be equally learned as were men. These were Schools for Prayer, living the Word of God, the Gospel, the Bible. In the Twelfth Century, in Paris, the pagan Greco-Arabic model of the university was subverted and adopted by the Church. From its lecture halls, where theology now came to be taught to authorized specialists, women were rigorously excluded, only finding their way back partially into the world of learning in our past century. Likewise with this learning, minds became abstracted and divorced from soul and from body, from the family, from women and children, concentrating upon the intellect only, out of harmony and balance to flesh and blood reality, to Creation. In this website, crafted by both men and women, and also by their children, shall be presented a wealth of learning for men and women and children, culled through time from spiritual, rather than temporal, sources, from collaborative, not competitive, communities. Imagine this composite website as your monastic library, your scriptorium, within your anchorhold, to read in prayerful contemplation. Wisdom, God's Daughter, says:
Proverbs 8.22-31
Wisdom of Solomon 7.27-8.1
Piers Plowman B.X.300-303

Earth First Seen From Space
The
Umilta Website, about the love of God and
neighbour, is
constructed as a colour-coded memory system as were
medieval manuscripts, Anglo-Saxon materials in alternating
reds
and greens, later medieval materials
in alternating reds and
blues,
in the latter case
like pulsating umbilical cords, of the Word become flesh
dwelling in our midst, oliveleaf trauma healing material
being in blues and
greens. Brown ink
signifies a quotation from a manuscript, other text
in grey signifying modern commentary. A hierarchy of scripts
is used with large capitals for websites, smaller capitals
for their subsets, in the titles to essays. Rather than
modern technology, with counters, java, flags, we shall use
an ancient simplicity in words and images, from the Age of
Faith. As did Julian herself. Had she lived in our
centuries, Julian would have used the Internet so. This
Website, like Julian's Benedictinism,
is intentionally a school of
learning, a school for
contemplation; yet, like Julian
of Norwich's Showing of Love, it is for
everyone, wherever you may be in the world, poor or rich,
crippled or whole, lay or cleric, children, women, men. As Ritamary Bradley wrote in Julian's
Way: A Practical Commentary on Julian of Norwich (London:
Harper Collins, 1992), we are about not only the theory, but
also the practice, of Julian of Norwich's Showing of
Love, in all its kaleidoscopic aspects, like dew upon
cobwebs sparkling
amidst mist, like the Gothic traceries of Julian's Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided
Trinity of Norwich.
Norwich Cathedral
Copying Julian, this webmistress lives as a hermit
in a graveyard, though in Florence rather than Norwich.
Why our English has to spill over into Italian, and even
Spanish and Portuguese. We are
global. We are ecumenical. We are like Teresa of Avila's Interior
Castle. About spiritual riches, not ephemeral money. We
encourage the parallel use of languages other than English. We
encourage the learning of skills and
handcrafts. We are a library about a library. We
encourage you in the writing of books, of web essays, that restore meaning. The Web, like
Wisdom, God's Daughter, can reach from one end of the globe to
the other, sweetly ordering all things, but not in temporal or
spatial linearity, instead, with hypertexting, with elaborate
weaving and embroidering, with the tracery of cobwebs with dew
on them, reflected in Gothic windows, arabesqueing back upon
itself through time and space. In this we mirror the synapses
of the human brain/mind, powered by our hearts/ lungs, charged
by our souls in God's image. We seek your creative
contributions.

Sister Anna Maria Reynolds C.P.
was the greatest editor Julian ever had. During the war years
she was transcribing the extant microfilms with a microscope,
a word at a time, for her Leeds University MA and Ph.D.
theses. Subsequent editions are based on her meticulous
work.
