The reality of medieval towns and cities is that they are the consequence of conflict, compromise, common sense, religious ideals, and occasional reasoned regulation. Hard to distill that down to a set of principles we can use today.Emulatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773405982717176805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004767258734318262.post-82225769721797987672010-02-15T15:33:40.656-05:002010-02-15T15:33:40.656-05:00This time wihtout dyslexia:

The vernacular world, being unselfconscious by nature, is even less accessible to those not part of it, and can not be recreated except artificially (therefore, inaccurately).Emulatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773405982717176805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004767258734318262.post-26699322788750309132010-02-15T06:06:22.124-05:002010-02-15T06:06:22.124-05:00No Plan of operation extends with certainty beyond...No Plan of operation extends with certainty beyond the first encounter ,Only the layman sees in the course of a campaign a consistent execution of a preconceived and highly detailed original concept pursued to the end, <br />-Helmut Von Molkt <br /><br />The same is true of the medieval , we have to engage with it in the same way we engage with The Vernacular or nature<br />in both there is no textbook to describe a preconceived, it is mere engagement with nature.<br /> <br /><br /><br />Alireza SagharchiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948846429254795260noreply@blogger.com
