The present work is an attempt of analyzing the kitchen excavated on Grakliani Gora in 2014. The analysis consits of a detailed description of ceramics found in this area and also trying to find its analogies. Furthermore, the work looks at arrangement of the oven excavated on the territory of the kitchen and provides its comparison to the earliest ovens. Kitchen areas excavated both in the western world (Olynthus, Lefkada) and in the eastern world (Gonur Depe) are used for the research of kitchens and other agricultural dwellings as part of an interior. This is an attempt to determine the cultural affiliation of the kitchen found on Grakliani Gora. Given the fact that there are no such separated kitchen areas found among the sites on the territory of Georgia, this work will give us a basic knowledge to interpret future findings.

The Middle Ages

In the western world, Plotinus was only a name until 1492. None of his treatises had been translated during the Middle Ages, and the translations dating back to antiquity had been lost. He was not totally unknown, however, thanks to scholars like Firmicus Maternus, Saint Augustine, Macrobius, and to those parts of the works of Proclus translated in the thirteenth century by William of Moerbeke. But Plotinus's own writings remained completely unknown,and as Vespasiano da Bisticci observed in his Vite, “senza i libri non si poteva fare nulla” (“without the books, nothing can be done”). This fact was to change completely only with the publication by Marsilio Ficino of his Latin translation of the Enneads.

The Jews have never practically lost sight of the Samaritans, unlike the Christians, who for at least a thousand years had entirely forgotten their existence, as no writer or pilgrim to the Holy Land speaks of them with the solitary exception of Mandeville. It was therefore a great surprise to the Western world when at the beginning of the seventeenth century the darkness began to be lifted, and through Scaliger, Huntingdon, and Della Valle for the first time authentic news about the Samaritans, their language, and their Bible began to reach Europe.

‘Riding with Robin Hood: English Pageantry and the Making of a Legend’, written by John Marshall, address the character of Robin Hood – whether fact or fiction – and his contribution to the outlaw narrative in the middle ages. In this chapter, Marshall also defines the ways in which visualizations of Robin Hood in terms of character, costume and scenery, have created an image and evocation of the middle ages. While no doubt one of the best-known and most enduring secular figures in the western world known for adventures that epitomized the middle ages, this essay attempts to determine how closely the tales of Robin Hood adhered to medieval themes.

Abstract The digital teaching of medieval, and especially auxiliary, scientific skills has been going on for more than a decade. Nevertheless, the breadth and depth of the auxiliary sciences is making them difficult to present in their entirety. With ‘Ad fontes’, basic knowledge of skills needed to study the Middle Ages is imparted through interactive exercises. The e-learning platform was completely revised in 2018, allowing new technical possibilities to be realised while maintaining the strengths of its intuitive exercises. Additionally, crowdsourcing enterprises prove extremely valuable in the application of knowledge. After all, it is only possible to bring together knowledge of a particular field if collaborations are established across individual institutions and researchers.

The Middle Ages

The social thought of the Middle Ages, which undertook to comprehend and scientifically to formulate the nature and foundation of all human society, proceeded from the principle of a single and uniform but articulate whole. The idea of an organic conception of all human society in its entirety was as familiar to the mediaeval mind as the notion of an atomistic or mechanistic constrution of human associations was alien to that mind. Aside from issuing into a distinct and definite theory of “public law,” the mediaeval efforts to understand mankind in its entirety and to treat every form of human society as an organic unity were the starting points of a novel philosophy of law and state which brought about a new and glorious development of legal, social, and political ideas. This development was fully in line with the professed aim of the mediaeval spirit, namely the spiritual and moral education of die western world. It had for its core the doctrine of the Church, and for its goal the elaboration of an integrated outlook on all of human life. In die fields of legal, social, and political speculation this development was greatly enhanced by the collaboration of theologians, philosophers, and jurists. Here, as elsewhere, die mediaeval mind displayed and, on the whole, preserved that high degree of unity of thought and purpose which had its roots not only in that commonly shared conception of a single harmonious universe governed by one infinitely wise God, but also in the conviction that all first premises of right thought or right action were divinely revealed truths rather than discoveries made by human reason alone.
