OBJECTIVE 3

Written analysis & Classroom discussion: Thomas Aquinas [famed theologian = religious/Christian church scholar] argued that science and reason were in conflict with faith.

• Do you agree or disagree with Aquinas? Why? Analyze your responses thoroughly. As you write, students are asked to ponder [think] this notion: – Does faith obscure reason?

or– Does reason obscure faith?

– Can the two co-exist? Explain.

Teachings of Thomas AquinasSt. Thomas Aquinas believed that there were two types

of truth• Religious Truth: Things that are revealed by faith and

cannot be proven by science.• Scientific Truth: Things that can be proven by

science.He believed that things related to faith did not need

truth to be valid became they came from God who was infallible.

Also, he believed knowledge was not the enemy of faith because it did not corrupt faith. Both faith and reason come from God and were not in competition with each other but supported each other.

The Rise of Universities

• Medieval Universities got their start as educational guilds

• The first Medieval University was in Bologna, Italy . The students at the school formed their own guild in 1158.

• Later came the University of Paris, and then the University at Oxford England.

Areas of Study• Students in medieval universities studied the

following subjects– Grammar: The proper way to write– Rhetoric: Public speaking, learning how to make

arguments (debate)– Logic: Using reason– Arithmetic: Basic Math– Geometry– Music– Astronomy

Page 12: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Teaching Style• Books were rare and

expensive in the Middle Ages. The main method of teaching was by lecture. Teachers would read from books and students would take notes.

• There were not regular exams given, but when a student applied for a degree, they were given an exam.

Page 13: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Degrees• There were various types of degrees awarded

by medieval universities– Theology: The study of religion and God– Law– Medicine

• Upon completion of 4-6 years of study they would earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. If they continued in school they could earn a doctor’s degree and would be able to teach. A doctor’s degree could take ten years of more.

Objective 3

Compare and contrast: Romanesque church (Pisa Cathedral) vs. a Gothic church (Notre Dame in Paris)

Page 15: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Romanesque Architecture

• Romanesque architecture developed to have some specific traits.– Rounded Arches– Thick walls with small windows with stone roofs.

• The dark environment of the church was meant to suggest the power and mystery of God.

Page 16: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Medieval Architecture• During the 11th and 12th

centuries there was a boom in architecture and building.

• Originally buildings were built in a Basilica style which consisted of a rectangular building with a flat wooden roof.

• Later, Romanesque architecture replaced this flat roof with a rounded arch.

Page 19: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Gothic Architecture• Later, changes were made to the Romanesque style

which developed a new style known as Gothic Architecture.

• Gothic architecture developed some distinct characteristics of its own.– Vaulted Arches (Pointed)– Flying Buttresses– Thinner walls and stained glass windows

• The advancements allowed thinner walls and larger windows, which allowed for these new churches to have much more natural light.

• The Gothic style was much more serene and self-confident.

Gargoyles

Vernacular Literature• The universal language of

medieval civilization was Latin. • Latin was the language of Rome

and was a common language which could be used in churches and at Universities.– A common language at

universities allowed students from many different countries to be able to understand the teachings there.

Page 29: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Vernacular• The vernacular was the language of the

common people. – This included Spanish, French, English, and

German.• People began to produce literature in their

own languages.– The most popular form of vernacular literature in

the 12th century was troubadour poetry, which was mostly love stories about life at court between knights and ladies of the court.

Page 30: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

TroubadoursTroubadours were usually travelling poets and

musicians who would go from court to court telling their stories of courtly love.

Page 31: Agenda:  How was life and culture transformed throughout latter half of the Middle Ages?

Chanson de Geste• Another popular type of vernacular literature

was the Chanson de Geste. The Chanson de Geste was heroic epic poetry.

• A popular work of this type was the Song of Roland.– This work, in French, tells the story of a battle

between a Muslim army and Charlemagne.
