1 8 1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Anglo-Saxon Window, Great Hall, University of Sydney Subject The topic of the resource Alcuin, Alcuin of York, Alcuinis, Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Saxon Window, Bede, Caedman, Caedmon, Carolingian Renaissance, Charlemagne, Cædmon, England, Great Hall, New South Wales, NSW, stained glass, Sydney, University of Sydney, Venerable Bede Description An account of the resource The Anglo-Saxon window in the Great Hall of the University of Sydney is one of a number of windows along the side walls of the hall containing portraits of famous people. It includes three notable Anglo-Saxon churchmen and writers from the Kingdom of Northumbria. Bede (c. 673-735) was a monk at the monasteries of Monkwearmouth and Jarrow. His most famous work is the Ecclesiastical History of the English People and he is sometimes referred to as the father of English history. Alcuin (c. 735-804) was a teacher who headed the York School before being invited by Charlemagne to join the Frankish court in the 781, from where he was one of the main scholars to contribute to the Carolingian Renaissance. Alcuin became abbot of the monastery of St Martin of Tours in 796. Caedmon (later seventh century) is the earliest English poet whose name is known, and Caedmon’s Hymn is arguably the earliest known poem in English. According to Bede he became a monk at the monastery of Whitby. The stained glass was made in England and shipped to Sydney in time for the official opening of the Great Hall in 1859.
