Roman contact with Ireland in the ancient world, 2024
Item — Call number MU Thesis Fla
Identifier: b7931823
Abstract
The relationship between the Roman Empire and Ireland during the Iron Age is a niche topic often overshadowed by the Roman occupation of Britain. However, this does not mean that there is no archaeological evidence or historical documentation that explores this relationship. In
fact, numerous sites containing Roman artifacts have been found across Ireland. Furthermore, contemporary Greco-Roman writers have written about Ireland and the Irish people for centuries. As a result, Roman...

Science in traditional China and its relationship to the literati : Chinese calendrical science and Confucian ideology from the Sung through the Ch'ing dynasties, 2004
Item — Call number MU Thesis McM
Identifier: b2088342
Introduction [excerpts]
The topic of historical scientific inquiry usually has scholars studying the Scientific Revolution of Western Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Although Western Europe had this full flowering of science, Europeans in many cases borrowed a considerable amount of technology and scientific knowledge from the Chinese. The Chinese had developed most of these items centuries before the West, yet failed to take their understanding of science and technology to the next step. The question...

Scotland and the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, 1996
Item — Call number MU Thesis Dew
Identifier: b2088925
Introduction [excerpt]
This thesis seeks to place Scotland and the Scots on the stage of Jacobitism, rather than the reverse. In fact, it places them center stage. It begins by drawing a picture of Scotland and its people as they existed at the start of the rebellion in July 1745. By forming a clear view of the political life, economic status, and cultural positions of the Scots, we can better understand the forces that drove so many Scots to risk life and property in support of a goal which seemed to many to...

Identifier: b2089510
Introduction [excerpt]
This paper will attempt to organize and collect the thematic trends of the historical writings about the Titanic.

Stalking the ruse : Eleanor of Aquitaine's Court of Love at Poitiers an historiographical analysis, 2007
Item — Call number MU Thesis Gia
Identifier: b2088404
Abstract
For the past century or so, scholars believed that Eleanor of Aquitaine brought "courtly love" to the upper classes of Western Europe during the twelfth century. Yet, by all counts, courtly love seems to be in contradiction with what the records reveal about Eleanor, her worldview and her understanding of herself. Attempts to reconcile or explain this disjunction have only clouded the image of the historic Eleanor, creating confusion, and fomenting unnecessary debate. Although...

Stars and healers : Christianity and Paganism in medieval medical astrology, 1999
Item — Call number MU Thesis Chu
Identifier: b2089155
Introduction [excerpt]
Medicine occupies a significant position in astrology. The idea of medical astrology is founded on the belief in "the supposed influence of the heavenly bodies on human affairs, and especially upon the states of health and disease of the human body." Besides observing the planets simply to foretell the future, astrologers and physicians had kept an eye on them for the right time to perform medical treatment. The use of astrological data became recognized as something essential...

The English marriage of Philip II : a struggle for the throne, 2010
Item — Call number MU Thesis Pac
Identifier: b2825630
Introduction [excerpt]
The most infamous interaction of Philip II with England was certainly that of his attempted invasion with the ill-fated Spanish Armada in 1588. This incident cemented Philip's reputation in England as an unreasonable foreign aggressor, trying to steal the rightful inheritance of England's divinely favored Queen Bess. While the English regarded him in a primarily negative light, in Spain Philip's reign came be seen as a golden age. Yet, before he was king of Spain, Portugal, Naples,...
