The attitude of medieval men of letters towards plastic arts; architecture and applied art has so far been studied from a primarily aesthetic point of view. The cause of this may be found; I offer no opinion on it; in the conceptions of the authors who have been publishing on this during the last seventy-five years or in the fact that most medieval texts that until recently were available in editions; were for the greater part works of a theological; mystical or l encyclopaedic-theoretical kind. Anyhow; it is an estab- lished fact that these studies were brought to bear on the texts of a limited number of well-known medieval writers; such as: Augustine; Isidore of Sevilla; Strabo; Scotus Erigena; Alcuin; Hugh and Richard of S. Victor; Honore of Autun; Bonaventure; Thomas Aquinas and Vincent of Beauvais. The writings of these authors had been published in large series such as Mignes Patrologia Latina; the 3 1 L.

While its great to have the swipe feature to turn pages while playing; the scale is off. For whatever reason; the staff area takes up only a fraction of the screen; instead of the whole thing; so its impossible to read. You can get a full screen view by double tapping; but then you cant swipe to turn the page.Its quite a disappointment as a piece of digital sheet music; so Ill have to download it and print it out; which defeats the whole purpose of offering this as a special Kindle version.Also the pubisher should indicate in the description that this is in the key of G; and not F; as published in other collections of Christmas tunes.
