Once again you provide well researched and articulately presented period of pleasure. I find all of your presentations give me food for thought, and will bear a second viewing to see what I may have missed. Thank you again.🖤🇨🇦

Dear friends. I made an error in saying that the "Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch was in Milan. It is of course in Madrid.

Where do you uncover so many astonishing books and pictures from many centuries past? I enjoyed this presentation so much - the narrative glides through hundreds of years with seeming ease. Thank you for your insightful and informative presentation.

Hello again. Almost any book of interest has now been digitised, and held by a not for profit organisation. Archive.com . If you know the title of a book you enter the title followed by Archive.com. It is then possible to download a copy as a pdf free of charge. They have recently introduced a virtual library where you can borrow a book for an hour or a week. Still no charge. Can't be done without it! Kind regards David

For a current and ongoing example google “seal of Louisiana.” Greatly enjoy your work, the KZbin algorithm connecting you with my exploration of Alexandra Waugh’s Shakespeare studies.

Hello Alaina, Many thanks for your comment. Yes Alexander and I share a similar view on matters related to the authorship question. Kind regards David

Very enjoyable to watch and ponder on. Thank you. One additional comment I’d make is that ‘Corpus ChristI’ refers, not only to the species at the celebration of the Eucharist, but to the Church as a whole, the assembly of the faithful gathered to celebrate the Eucharist. All the baptised are ‘members’ of the Body of Christ, according to Catholic teaching, and each is called upon to act as Jesus did in his life and death.

Hello Mary, thanks for your comment. Yes I agree with you. I was just making a more specific point about the naming of the colleges prior to the church of England and the link to the pelican emblem. I'm glad you enjoyed it. kind regards David

Hello Barbara, thanks for your support. Can I ask if you ever download the pdf's. I'm trying to find out if they are useful. Many thanks, regards David

This is probably off-base, but I was thinking of how the word PELICAN [pelekanos, etc.] bears a similarity to the word for a type of falcon, the PEREGRIN, or 'Pilgrim'. My Liddell & Scott Greek-English dictionary has 'pelekan'/'pelekanos'/'pelekas' referring to both the Pelican and the Woodpecker (or 'joiner bird'), from the verb 'pelekaw': 'to hew or shape with an axe, rough-hew' = Lat. dolare. There's also the 'pelekinos', 'a water-bird of the pelican kind. Also, the Pleiades star-group in Taurus get their name from the Greek 'Peleiades' = 'Pleiades', probably from Gk. 'peleia' = 'the wood-pigeon, ring-dove, cusbat', from its dark colour; and the word 'peleiai' refers to the name of the prophetic priestesses, derived from the prophetic doves of Dodona. I have no idea what a 'cusbat' might be, though -- you'll have to ask Liddell or Scott!

Albert Schweitzer had a good friend in Lambarene: a Pelikan!
