"The Anti-Scythian Tirade of Synesius' "De Regno
SYNESIUS OF CYRENE'S De regno describes the threat that certain were posing to the safety of the state and recommends ways of countering it.1 There were of course no actual Scythians in Constantinople in ca A.D. 400, and scholars have been clear that this must be a disguised reference to a group of foreigners (barbarians) who were then playing a significant role in the affairs of the Eastern Roman Empire. It was an established literary conceit to…

It is noted that matches up the days of the week with the planets, and in turn connects the latter to the twelve signs of the zodiac (342) and to the fifteen stars (344-46). Also…

Precious Stones in the Middle-English Verse of the Fourteenth Century, I
As the title implies, Heather surveys folklore about precious stones in Gower's time period. Heather is quick to point out that for the fourteenth century no radical distinction is to be made between an illiterate folk and a cultured elite. As a result, Gower's learned references in the CA are frequently listed as examples of more widespread beliefs or superstitions. Along with Book 7 of the CA, tales that are repeatedly mined for evidence includ…
