Answer both of these questions : 1. the famous Bayeux tapestry. Briefly explain the context and events depicted in the Tapestry and compare how the tapestry celebrates a military victory with how we today use film, TV, books, music, and more to celebrate victory. 2. You read about famous female monastic Hildegard von Bingen, and you can read for yourself a selection from her “Scivias” [Reading 10.4 at the end of Chapter 10), in which she describes her vision. What is the vision she sees and what does she say it means? Do you agree with her opinions about humanity and sin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtGoBZ4D4_E 200-300 words total/n< > plus.pearson.com + 0 Your Loan Servicing Center TJX Rewards Rate My Professors MyLab & Mast...ng | Pearson Google Dashboard Dashboard Degree Pathw...ncia College My Atlas - val...iacollege.edu Subtitles are ...Subtitles.com SM M כ G G CV a G G G G WING STOP 區 A VC A P Page 124 Page 124 IE !!!!

The following is her vision of the devil. After describing her vision, she analyzes it line by line, and in so doing creates a vision of hell sufficient to frighten any soul into accepting a Christian calling. Such visions of the devil would become commonplace in the art of Hildegard's time (see Fig. 23), but hers is one of the earliest and most powerful presentations. Then I saw a burning light, as large and as high as a moun- tain, divided at its summit as if into many tongues. And there stood in the presence of this light a multitude of white-clad people, before whom what seemed like a screen of translu- cent crystal had been placed, reaching from their breasts to their feet. And before that multitude, as if in a road, there lay on its back a monster shaped like a worm, wondrously large and long, which aroused an indescribable sense of horror and rage. On its left stood a kind of marketplace, which displayed human wealth and worldly delights and various sorts of mer- chandise; and some people were running through it very fast and not buying anything, while others were walking slowly and stopping both to sell and to buy. Now that worm was black and bristly, covered with ulcers and pustules, and it was divided into five regions from the head down through the belly to its feet, like stripes. One was green, one white, one red, one yellow and one black; and they were full of deadly poison. But its head had been so crushed that the left side of its jawbone was dislocated. Its eyes were bloody on the surface and burn- ing within; its ears were round and bristly: its nose and mouth were those of a viper, its hands human, its feet a viper's feet, and its tail short and horrible. And around its neck a chain was riveted, which also bound its hands and feet and this chain was firmly fastened to a rock in the abyss, confining it so that it could not move about as its wicked will desired. Many flames came forth from its mouth, dividing into four parts: One part ascended to the clouds, another breathed forth among secular people, another among spiritual people, and the last descended into the abyss. And the flame that sought the clouds was opposing the people who wanted to get to Heaven. And I saw three groups of these. One was close to the clouds, one in the middle space between the clouds and the earth, and one moved along near the earth; and all were shouting repeatedly, "Let us get to Heaven!" But they were whirled hither and thither by that flame; some did not waver, some barely kept their balance and some fell to the earth but then rose again and started toward Heaven. The flame that breathed forth among secular people burned some of them so that they were hideously blackened and others it transfixed so that it could move them anywhere it wanted. Some escaped from the flame and moved toward those who sought Heaven, reiterating shouts of "O you faithful, give us help!" But others remained transfixed. Meanwhile, the flame that breathed forth among spiritual people concealed them in obscurity; but I saw them in six categories. For some of them were cruelly injured by the flame's fury; but when it could not injure one of them, it burningly breathed on them the deadly poison that flowed from the worm's head to its feet, either green or white or red or yellow or black. But the flame that sought the abyss contained in itself diverse torments for those who had worshiped Satan in place of God, not washed by the font of baptism or knowing the light of truth and faith. And I saw sharp arrows whistling loudly from its mouth, and black smoke exhaling from its breast, and a burning fluid boiling up from its loins, and a hot whirlwind blowing from its navel, and the uncleanness of frogs issuing from its bowels; all of which affected human beings with grave disquiet. And the hideous and foul-smelling vapor that came out of it infected many people with its own perversity. But behold, a great multitude of people came, shining brightly; they forcefully trod the worm underfoot and severely tormented it, but could not be injured by its flames or its poison. And I heard again the voice from Heaven, saying to me.... 3. The deceptions of the Devil lie in the path humans take in this world And before that multitude, as if in a road, there lies on its back a monster shaped like a worm, wondrously large and long. This means that the ancient serpent is well-known to humanity in the course of the pilgrimage of the good and the bad through the world, not in that visible form but in its inner meaning. Its mouth is gaping upward in order to pull down by deception those who are tending toward the celestial regions; but it is lying down, because the Son of God destroyed so much of its strength that it cannot stand up. And it arouses an indescribable sense of horror and rage; for the mental capacity of mortal humans is insufficient to understand the manifold varia- tions of its poisonous fury and malicious exertions. 4. The Devil offers fraudulent riches and delights, and some buy them On its left stands a kind of marketplace, which displays human wealth and worldly delights and various sorts of merchandise. For the left hand of the destroyer signifies death, and there is seen a marketplace composed of Death's evil works: pride and vainglory in corruptible riches, licentiousness and lust for transitory pleasures, and trafficking in all kinds of earthly desires. Thus those who would be terrified by the horror of the Devil if they met it openly are deceived by these things; they are lightly offered persuasions to vice as a merchant displays his diverse wares to people, and delighted by the display so that they buy what is offered. So the Devil offers humanity Fiefdom and Monastery, Pilgrimage and Crusade 124 < 73 >
