Robertson, Literature of Medieval England, General Introduction, 1: Medieval Life and Ideals;

and SGGK, Fit I.

Review Robertson, "Medieval Life and Ideals," on our Canvas page. Bring this essay to class with you, along with all the other handouts you have been reading.

Please study carefully, and then print out and bring to class with you, these two pages:

• Ecclesia (The Church)
• Synagoge (The Synagogue)

Here are the two figures side by side and in better light, so you can see and study the details more easily.

These two images are also in the Robertson essay. These are larger reproductions.
