                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>This article traces the roots of modern cosmetic surgery to the medieval period. It suggests that the first forms of plastic surgery were performed by a fifteenth-century Sicilian family, the Firancas of Catania. The practice then fell into disuse, the article claims, until 1597 when it was revived by Gaspara Tagliocozzi. However, the alteration of oneâ€™s natural, God-given features was condemned by the Church and, for using his surgical skills to attempt this, Tagliocozzi was condemned by his contemporaries Ambroise Pare and the anatomist Fallopius. The article goes on to discuss some other forms of appearance altering surgery, such as that performed by a group of rogue surgeons â€“ the Comprachicos â€“ to  surgically disfigure children in the seventeenth century, but suggests that cosmetic surgery did not become popular or widely accepted until the nineteenth century.</text>
