DThe great thing about history is that with a fair point of view, there is no room for generalization and prejudice. History is certainly not suitable as a weapon arsenal for abolishing culture and vulgar feminism, just like “the whole medieval women are oppressed and they have nothing to say”.
During the transition period from the sixth to the seventh century, which is said to be a particularly dark period of migration, Queen Tiudrinde of Monza ruled the powerful Lombard Empire for nearly forty years, of which only ten. In the 10th century, the Byzantine princess Theophanu ruled the empire almost alone for eight years after the death of her husband Otto II. She built the western project of St. Pantaleon in Cologne. At the same time, Roswitha von Gandersheim (Roswitha von Gandersheim), an influential convent and poet in the Harz region, is writing one after another mysterious best-selling book from Ottonia The powerful women of the royal family administer the cities and monasteries from Quedlinburg to Gernrod, which were also canonized in the 11th century by the Queen Cunigunde, who was canonized in March 1200 (Empress Kunigunde) proposed that a mandatory cultural policy and plans to build only seven new churches on the green space of Bamberg should continue. After another hundred years, the mysterious Hildegard von Bingen even provided advice and training to the king. It is true that they are all ladies from well-known families. What happens to certain levels of power below, and what is Gunza von Cheles doing?
Who is the group? In the eighth century, the nuns of the Eastern Convent of Paris invented gender. She read a lot of books and, like many other theological works, copied in the writing room of her monastery in Scherer. However, unlike her nuns, Gunza uses color to highlight feminine-friendly paragraphs in the copied fonts and compliments them in the comments, while misogynistic is marked in red. But the most surprising thing is that she supplemented the purely male form with feminine forms in the text. For example, there is only one “iste” (“this one”), and she adds an “ista”. Gunza is an exception. Its unique writing reform is like a confident and independent arithmetic Pippi Stockings Eighth century? Most importantly, what is the connection between Chelles and the exhibition “Von Frauenhand” that is now open in Cologne. According to the subtitle, the exhibition should only be about “Medieval manuscripts from the Cologne collection”? It’s simple: From the 700s to the 11th century, Chelles was one of the main centers of education and book production, as well as Eton College and Mainz. Since there were no convents in the UK at that time, all the daughters and nobles of the British royal family, for example, were sent to the mainland of Cheles for training. In its heyday in the eighth century, the monastery was headed by Gisela, the sister of Charlemagne. It was from this monastery that the equally powerful and wealthy Archbishop of Cologne, Hildebald, ordered an expensive three-part manuscript, the commentary on the poems of the godfather Augustine, from about 800, now to Surprised visitors lent by the cathedral open the Cologne Library. The typeface is clearly printed, the handwriting is divided into chapters and subtitles. This book looks very modern, because during the Carolingian education reform, the books were clearly laid out in correct and easy-to-read Latin, which laid the foundation for the book layout. It is still very common today. Only the initials formed by green and red lead-orange fish stand out in the mix of island art and modern appearance of the ancient Merovingian design features.
