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. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials.

Description An account of the resource <p class="MsoNormal">This coat of arms is displayed above the gates of the New Norcia monastery. The pontifical hat at the top, called a galero, has been a common motif in ecclesiastical heraldry since the fifteenth century. As a vestment, the galero dates to c.1245, when red hats were bestowed upon cardinals by Innocent IV. In heraldry it is used to symbolise church hierarchy; different colours and numbers of tassels denote different offices. The 6 tassels on either side of the shield in the New Norcia coat of arms signify that the monastery is overseen by a bishop. The mitre hat below the galero is the insignia of bishops and abbots. In this case, it most likely refers to the fact that the monastery is presided over by an abbot. Behind the shield, a cross and crosier in saltire are also common external ornaments on ecclesiastical coats of arms. On the shield itself, symbols identify the building as a religious house (the all-seeing eye with a cross and the word &ldquo;fides&rdquo;) and a male Benedictine community (the patriarchal cross bearing the Benedictine motto &ldquo;pax&rdquo;). The swan is emblematic of its location in Western Australia.

The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks, but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine community was established in the sixth century in Italy by St Benedict of Nursia (c.480-547). <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom Jos&eacute; Benito Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra&rsquo;s involvement in the missionary activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years of New Norcia&rsquo;s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe, which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New Norcia. Under Salvado&rsquo;s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914), New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town&rsquo;s buildings.
