  • Mistaken Ancestry: The Jacquard and the Computer

    Martin Davis, Virginia DavisARTICLETEXTILE2005

    The punched-card-driven loom introduced by Joseph-Marie Jacquard in the early years of the nineteenth century was the culmination of a number of efforts to mechanize the tedious work of manipulating the separate threads in a draw loom. The data constituting the desired pattern were introduced to the loom via a set of cards with punched holes.

  • Irish clergy in late medieval England

    Open AccessVirginia DavisARTICLEIrish Historical Studies2000

    This article examines a hitherto unexplored source for the history of the Irish clergy in England — English episcopal ordination lists — to see what they can reveal about Irish clergy in medieval England: their geographic origins, their numbers and, less tangibly, their motivation both for coming to England and for remaining there. Episcopal ordination lists survive, with gaps, for most English dioceses from the later thirteenth century onwards a…

Hundreds of men turned up to be ordained at the four Ember seasons each year at which major ordinations were permitted to be held.

Of the scores of people in the diocese of Winchester who came at the stipulated time to be ordained to the major …

  • Ecclesiastical Wealth in England in 1086

    Open AccessAndrew Ayton, Virginia DavisARTICLEStudies in Church History1987

    England was a rich prize for William the Conqueror to have won at the battle of Hastings. His conquest was followed by a major redistribution of the wealth of his new kingdom. By the end of his reign, a tenurial revolution had swept through the lay landholding community, leaving only a handful of Anglo-Saxons as tenants-in-chief. The Church had undergone considerable changes of personnel; only one bishopric was still in English hands (Worcester),…

  • The Rule of Saint Paul, the First Hermit, in late medieval England

    Open AccessVirginia DavisARTICLEStudies in Church History1985

    Throughout Europe in the late middle ages there was a perceptible interest in the way of life and ideals believed to have been followed in the early centuries of Christianity. There was little that was new in this interest; reform movements within the Church from the eleventh century onwards had frequently followed such a path. Accompanying this interest however was a desire by laymen to live in a pious and holy fashion; not to enter the coenobit…
