What is the connection betweeen Fairies and Folklore from the Renaissance or Medieval period?
Q. I've assumed for a long time that Fairies, small human like creatures with wings, and other such fantastical-like creatures, developed from literature and folklore that emerged out of Europe in the Midieval and Renaissance eras. I am looking for information on this subject to prove this "belief." Does anyone know of websites or sources that have historical information on authors or folklore in Europe during this time period? Medieval: 5th-14th centuries, Renaissance: 14th-17th Specifically, I'm most interested in looking for the historical origin of a Fairy.

A. Ya' know...I can't quote any sites or webpages, but I do remember reading something about Ireland and the Tuatha Da Danna. The Tuatha were said to be fairies (magical people)who came to Ireland by way of the sea. They had advance knowledge of mining and primitive tech for the tribes they encountered. The Tuatha did not leave Ireland until defeated by the first go round with Latin Rome who were said to be the enemies of the Tuatha, the Fomori or Formorae.Maybe these bits of trivial knowledge myths can help you on your search for knowledge.

Q. Main differences between Renaissance art and Medieval art
Asked by msabc292 - Tue Feb 19 16:02:32 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Medieval art: Mostly religious; very focused on creating symbols of Christian concepts/values; not concerned with realism. Served a purpose: "Before a worshipper has even entered the church, he would find images of saints and sinners, of angelic beings and the punishment of the damned. All stood as a reminder of the importance of holding one's thoughts to God." Statues were shallow and flat. Bodies might be out of proportion.Renaissance art: Very focused on realism--on portraying things as they look. Used linear perspective in painting. Not as focused on religion. Often used to show the beauty in nature (including human beings). Often depicted everyday life. Used light and shadow.

Is the Middle Ages, Medieval, and Renaissance all words for the same time period?
Q. My son has to learn about the Renaissance, and I was wondering if it was the same as the Middle Ages.
Asked by college_student - Fri Aug 24 13:39:02 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is a tricky one. The Renaissance used to be considered a distinct period, apart from the Middle Ages/Medieval period.However, over the last 40 or so years, historians have become increasingly unwilling to define the Renaissance as a 'period' - it's now considered more as a 'cultural movement' that occurred during the Middle Ages. So many of its characteristics were medieval phenomena and the notion that there was a 'rebirth' is now considered almost as 'propaganda' from the people who were living during the Renaissance, particularly those from Florence.Short story: Traditional view is that the Renaissance was a separate period from the Middle Ages, modern view is that it was an aspect of the Middle Ages.

Asked by lilshortyviet - Thu Feb 14 23:25:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. EARLY MEDIEVAL THOUGHT The philosophical questions of the early Middle Ages tended to focus on what is real and how it is known. Such questions by Christians, of course, included queries about the nature of God, about God's relation to the created order (including the problem of evil), and about the status of universals. Questions about knowledge probed the relation between faith and reason, especially the limits of reason in knowing the divine. Late medieval thinkers added questions about the nature of humankind and the role of society, and they went about philosophizing in quite different ways. But the issues of early medieval thought and the categories established to deal with those issues were critical for centuries.For the most… [cont.]

A. I don't believe there were bounty hunters, as we have use of the term, in the Middle Ages or Renaissance.If there was a price on someone's head, it was generally just an ordinary person who turned him in and collected the reward.I can think of only one incident where someone was actually paid to find another, and that was in the reign of Edward III--his 'bounty hunter' wasn't very good, because he allowed his quarry to escape.Remember, too, that there was no such thing as mass communication or any of the modern ways of tracing a person's whereabouts. If someone committed a crime in one area, a new life and identity could easily be established if he or she could get far enough away from the scene. Since this wasn't always a… [cont.]

Asked by hvstrom - Sat Jan 26 22:11:09 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You don't get music for brass instruments specifically until the very late 16th c. though ensembles for lip-reed instruments are valid for a good century before that. Before mid-century, you more often find sackbuts (early trombone) mixed with shawms (double-reed) instead of cornetti (a wood instrument played with a brass embouchure). Between about 1400-1470 it would have been slide trumpet instead of sackbut with the shawms.It's early Baroque, but if you like dark, try Sch tz' _Fili mi Absalom_ for baritone, 4 sackbuts and continuo.Otherwise, because it's such a big repertoire, I'm going to point you to groups rather than pieces, for recorded music (which I assume is what you're actually seeking)His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts, … [cont.]

A. Dirt, especially dry, dusty dirt can work well, maybe a little light oil or lotion around some areas to attract the dust? If you have a bit of stubble or make up some stubble with some mascara, that will help too. Dirty fingernails and a little bit of dark makeup (probably unnecessary, but a little dark eye liner might make you darker, more outlaw-ish). And don't forget a weapon such as a sword or crossbow. Anyway, good luck!

A. First of all, I don't think they wear really fancy earrings during that time, because the ears are either covered by hair or headdress. Wear a simple pearl drop will do. (like Girl With a Pearl Earring) And since not many earrings from that time survived (versus tons of earlier Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Byza ntine earrings that's in museums.), I don't even think earrings are that popular back then. But here's a good website, and it's so cheap that you can even buy a pair for every bridesmaid:
