Title A name given to the resource Pilgrim Badge: St James of Compostella Subject The topic of the resource Badge, Compostella, material culture, ‘Mainly Medieval’, medieval pilgrimage, NSW, New South Wales, pilgrim, pilgrimage, replica, reproduction, Saint James, scallop shell, shrine, Spain, St James, symbolism, Way of St James Description An account of the resource An advertisement for a scallop shell badge distributed by ‘Mainly Medieval’, an online re-enactor supplies company based in New South Wales. The scallop shell badge signifies that the wearer has completed the lengthy overland pilgrimage known in English as the Way of St James. This pilgrimage, which now starts at Roncesvalles, gradually winds its way to the Cathedral in Compostela, NW Spain. The ninth-century version, however, was considerably shorter due to the Moorish occupation. This early route started at Oviedo, passed through Lugo, and culminated at Santiago de Compostela, covering a distance of 328 km. The church was built at Compostella as a shrine to James, the son of Salome and Zebedee, who died in Jerusalem AD 44 by order of King Agrippa. His body was reputedly rediscovered in 840 by divine revelation to Bishop Theodomirus (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol.2, p.1372). The Vatican ‘officially’ confirmed the location of St James’s relics and tomb via a Papal Bull in 1884, and consequently the Camino de Santiago de Compostela became one of the world’s great long-distance ‘pilgrimages.’ Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mainly Medieval Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright © 2011 Mainly Medieval Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink Language A language of the resource English ‘Mainly Medieval’ Badge Compostella material culture medieval pilgrimage New South Wales NSW pilgrim pilgrimage replica reproduction Saint James scallop shell shrine Spain St James symbolism Way of St James https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/d58d6dc9af1c51c8f89b7d2d701d41ce.pdf bf2e5609aba0a7dd7a37950a5087041c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

McMahon discusses a visit to Rothenburg in 1936, which he describes as “the finest surviving example of a medieval city with its walls, gates and towers”. After giving a brief history of Rothenburg’s medieval past, its conversion to Protestantism after the Peasants’ Revolt in 1525 and its involvement in the Thirty Years’ War, he recounts a folkloric tale about Burgomaster Nusch saving the town from being plundered in 1621, by plying the Catholic Commander-in-Chief Tilly and his Imperial soldiers with large quantities of wine and himself accepting a challenge to drink the contents of a very large goblet. This tale, McMahon suggests, began the tradition of performing the historical festival play, “Der Meistertrunk”, in the Rathaus (Town Hall) every Whitsuntide. He then moves on to discuss what he coins as “Hitler’s Historical Programme”. In Nazi Germany, he suggests, there is a renewed interest in German folklore, a “renaissance of interest in the heroic stories of the German people”. As well as the festival play in Rothenburg, he cites school pilgrimages to the homes of Goethe and Schiller, the founding of museums, and parades in historically significant locations such as Nuremburg as examples of this trend. He commends the “far-reaching educative influence of such a treatment of history”, suggesting that “we could, with profit, do much more of that form of pageantry in school entertainments and occasional celebrations”. He concludes, however, by taking issue with Hitler’s stance on religion. Not only were the church steeples and shrines he saw in Bavaria evidence of the continued importance of religious faith in the “simple God-fearing lives of peasant farmers”, he argues, the continuing legacy of gothic churches such as St James (built in 1373) and ecclesiastical artwork such as Riemenschneider’s 1478 “Last Supper” could simply not be overlooked.
