The New Science of Physical Intelligence

THE BRIDGE FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE MIDDLE AGES en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASGvE_A3wB0 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JHCfe86A8U

Incipiunt Hore Sancte Marie ~ 14th 15th Century ~ 83 leaves Hoare or Books of Hours were noted for their vivid colours and sparkle of gold leaf on parchment leaves. This devotional, a fine example of decorative arts of the late middle ages, has both elaborate gilded initials and charmingly naïve flower border surrounding the principal pages. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_hours Under protective glass -- no Flash allowed.

The frontiers of a book are never clear cut: beyond the title, the first lines, the last full stop [. . .]it is caught up in a system of references to other books, other texts, other sentences: it is a node within a network [. . . ] It is not simply the object that one holds in one’s hands; and it cannot remain within the limit parallelepiped that contains it. ~ Michael Foucault.

“Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.” ― Lauren Willig

I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it after all, a place for the genuine. Hands that can grasp, eyes that can dilate, hair that can rise if it must, these things are important not because ah-sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because they are useful. When they become so derivative as to become unintelligible, the same thing may be said for all of us, that we do not admire what we cannot understand: the bat holding on upside down or in quest of something to eat, elephants pushing, a wild horse taking a roll, a tireless wolf under a tree, the immovable critic twitching his skin like a horse that feels a flea, the base- ball fan, the statistician-- nor is it valid to discriminate against "business documents and school-books"; all these phenomena are important. One must make a distinction however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the result is not poetry, nor till the poets among us can be "literalists of the imagination"--above insolence and triviality and can present for inspection, "imaginary gardens with real toads in them," shall we have it, In the meantime, if you demand on the one hand, the raw material of poetry in all its rawness and that which is on the other hand genuine, you are interested in poetry. "Poetry" ~ Marianne Moore

Of the Indians Magellan’s expedition met in Rio de Janero, Anttonio Pigafetta noted: “For a fishhook or a knife they would offer five or six chickens; a part of geese for a comb; for a small mirror or a pair of sessors, enough fish to fee ten people; for a bell or a ribbon, a basket of [sweet] potatoes that taste like nuts or turnips. For the king in a deck of playing cards such as we use in Italy, they gave six chickens, thinking that they had got the better of me.
