Notes de l'éditeur
- Medieval Europe. One of the darkest periods known to mankind: Pestilence and plague, darkness and fear, witch-hunts and illiteracy roam the land. It is a world where most people seldom leave their place of birth for any distance longer than 10 miles, where few people even live beyond the age of 30. In this inhospitable milieu, secluded in the scriptoria of cold monasteries, under the light of feeble oil lamps, mittened against the biting cold; some of the greatest book designers that ever lived, created some of the most beautiful books the world has ever seen. The colophons of the their creations are testimony to their short lives since most of the books that they worked upon were only completed in several of their brief lifetimes, one scribe replacing the other over decades. We call these beautiful books Illuminated Manuscripts.
- Jean Miélot, also Jehan, (born Gueschard, Picardy, died 1472) was an author, translator, manuscript illuminator, scribe and priest, who served as secretary to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy from 1449 to Philip's death in 1467, and then to his son Charles the Bold.[1] He also served as chaplain to Louis of Luxembourg, Count of St. Pol from 1468, after Philip's death.[2] He was mainly employed in the production of de luxe illuminated manuscripts for Philip's library. He translated many works, both religious and secular, from Latin or Italian into French, as well as writing or compiling books himself, and composing verse. Between his own writings and his translations he produced some twenty-two works whilst working for Philip,[3] which were widely disseminated, many being given printed editions in the years after his death, and influenced the development of French prose style.

- By 1480, the printing press had spread to over 100 cities in Europe, and with its spread came the spread of knowledge. Old classical texts, which until 1490 had been preserved in monasteries and copied by hand only by monks, could now easily be spread among the literate classes of Europe. These ancient texts led to the growth of new artistic, literary and philosophical movements throughout the Renaissance. A writer such as Shakespeare, for example, not an aristocrat but just a merchant from a small town in England, was now able to read Greek and Roman texts, which would have a profound effect on his own writings.
- “The Ship of Fools” is one of the earliest examples of humanism and the new, revolutionary views on Christianity emerging in the 15th century. The work immediately became extremely popular, with six authorised and seven pirated editions published before 1521. Renaissance humanism was a response to the utilitarian approach associated with medieval scholasticism.[2] Humanists sought to create a citizenry able to speak and write with eloquence and clarity and thus capable of engaging in the civic life of their communities and persuading others to virtuous and prudent actions. This was to be accomplished through the study of the studia humanitatis, today known as the humanities: grammar, rhetoric, history, poetry, and moral philosophy.
- There are only three areas of technology that are the core to your competitive advantage. Applications are where revenue, features, and productivity flow from. They don’t become “real’ until they are pushed to agile infrastructure. Once deployed service delivery teams take up the baton to deliver the new features/applications to end users. Service Delivery teams often manage devices, support apps, take help desk calls, and train the users on new functionality. They have many touch points with the user and thus typically receive feedback first. If users want new features, find bugs, or are confused by the new release the Service Delivery team provides that feedback to the Apps team and the cycle begins again.
