Translated with Introduction and Notes by Richard Cusimano and Eric Whitmore Suger, the twelfth century abbot of Saint-Denis, has not received the respect and attention that he deserves. Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter the Venerable have garnered more attention, and students of medieval history know their names well. In one respect, however, Suger has earned due praise, for his architectural innovations to the church of Saint-Denis made it truly one of the most beautiful churches in Europe. Students of history and architecture know Suger best for his work on Saint-Denis, the burial site of medieval French kings, queens, and nobility. The abbot enlarged, decorated, improved, and redesigned the building so beautifully that it is safe to say that he became the foremost church architect of twelfth-century France. The man, however, was so much more than an architect. He served as a counselor and member of the courts of King Louis VI and VII, who sent him across Europe on diplomatic missions. He represented those kings at the papal curia and imperial diets. He was also a close friends and confidante of King Henry I of England, whom he often visited on behalf of French royal interests. Never shy, Suger seems almost obsessed that his works and deeds not be forgotten. He acquired numerous properties and estates for his abbey, as well as improved the ones it already possessed. He built new buildings, barns, walls for villages, and increased the return of grain from all the abbey’s lands. Readers interested in the medieval agricultural system and way of life will also enjoy these texts. Suger’s texts also provide a wealth of information about the events of his era as well as a large amount of biographical material on his accomplishments. This translation of his writings intends to enhance his reputation and make his name better known by students at all levels and among those interested in medieval topics.

A mysterious object has been stolen from the British Museum. A group of religious fanatics intends to use it to give life to an evil creature, using an old lost language, that of angels. Adams, a young priest, together with the old chaplain Martin, will seek the help of Professor Thomas Dee, who knows Enochian, a language created by his great-great-grandfather John Dee. In search of a forbidden book, they will begin this adventure that will take them through Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Greece, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Russia, Turkey, Mexico and Antarctica itself. Following in the footsteps of Lovecraft and his Myths, they will seek the answer in the Necronomicon and other Grimoires that will teach them to close the evil portal. They will come across characters like Nostradamus, Rasputin, Alice Crowley, Van Gogh and Merlin. They will also delve into the mysteries of Kabbalah and Alchemy. They will analyze the Crusades, the Holy Inquisition, the Cathars and the Essenes. Only the Angels will be able to help them with their difficult mission that will take them through great libraries and unveil the mystery of the great Cathedrals.

By piecing the lives of selected individuals into a grand mosaic, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Daniel J. Boorstin explores the development of artistic innovation over 3,000 years. A hugely ambitious chronicle of the arts that Boorstin delivers with the scope that made his Discoverers a national bestseller. Even as he tells the stories of such individual creators as Homer, Joyce, Giotto, Picasso, Handel, Wagner, and Virginia Woolf, Boorstin assembles them into a grand mosaic of aesthetic and intellectual invention. In the process he tells us not only how great art (and great architecture and philosophy) is created, but where it comes from and how it has shaped and mirrored societies from Vedic India to the twentieth-century United States.
