Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages | Janina Ramirez

How many times in history did this happen? According to to the author, beginning with Reformation, libraries were decimated by varying religious groups, with the intention of burning “controversial texts.” There are lists of these books.available today.“ Femina” was the category that destroyed female texts were cataloged under. I am reading the into- so much to digest on every page!

TheBookHippie, GingerAntics

TheBookHippie Well. I need to read this apparently. 😵‍💫 and yes, why do you think conservatives are constantly trying to dummy down and remove books from public schools? So they can control the population. 2w

GingerAntics I think this author needs to do her homework. The library at Alexandria was destroyed, and with it almost all the scrolls (the equivalent of roughing 100,000 books), in 48 BCE by rioting Christians who wanted to destroy the pagan knowledge. 5d

GingerAntics The books that were rescued from the Library of Alexandria were housed in the library of the Temple of Serapis. It was known as the “daughter” library to the Library of Alexandria because it was created to house those rescued scrolls and added many others until it was destroyed in 391 CE by the Roman emperor in an attempt to eradicate pagan study and worship to establish Christianity as the sole religious and intellectual authority. (edited) 5d

GingerAntics Christians have been doing this ever since Paul and Rome took over the christian faith. These nuts have been doing this since the beginning. Sectarian destruction of libraries (christians destroying other christians‘ books) began in during the reformation. 5d

Avelynn: A Novel | Marissa Campbell

pick

Great storytelling. Saxon England during the time of the Viking invasions. This book reminded me very much of the The Last Kingdom tv series, but without nearly as many graphic war scenes. Book 1 of a series. I'm looking forward to reading more!
This was my #BookedInTime selection for January - Early Medieval

Thanks @Cuilin
