9 9 Medieval Man s Views of the Church The people of the Middle Ages were very religious. They felt the presence of God all around them, and believed that God interacted in their lives through signs and symbols in Nature. They were illiterate (unable to read and write) so they expected to be taught by their priests. The Medieval Church itself reflected many lessons in: the columns, archways, stained glass windows, statues, etc Artists were often commissioned by the Church to teach through works of art, often creating icons. The artist would often base his work on a conservative Biblical interpretation.

10 10 Medieval Man s Views of Numerology The medieval man believed in numerology: numbers usually held symbolic significance. The number 3 was a symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, & Holy Ghost). It also represented the afterlife: heaven, purgatory, and hell. To square a number was, in medieval terms, to perfect it. The number 4 represented this world: four elements (air, water, fire, earth), four Gospel writers, etc The sum of these (3 & 4=7) represented all of existence and time: 7 days of creation, 7 days in a week, 7 deadly sins, 7 cardinal virtues. The product of these (3x4=12) represented perfection 12 astrological (zodiac) signs.

11 Medieval Man s Views of Sin and Goodness 11 Seven Deadly Sins 1. Pride 2. Envy 3. Wrath 4. Sloth 5. Avarice (Greed) 6. Gluttony 7. Lust Seven Cardinal Virtues 1. Prudence 2. Justice 3. Temperance 4. Fortitude 5. Faith 6. Hope 7. Charity (love)

12 Four Vows of the Church 12 Vow of Poverty: one promises to own nothing personally but rather to live modestly and so not be attached to material or worldly possessions. In this simplicity and detachment, one may attach oneself without encumbrances to God. Vow of Chastity: one promises not to marry or be sexually active or interested so that one may attach oneself to God alone.

13 Four Vows of the Church 13 Vow of Obedience: one promises to obey the Rule of the Order and the directives of one s calling. In this way, one loses one s own will and follows rules that leads one more directly to God than one might be able to achieve on one s own. The Rule sets up a regiment of manual labor, prayer, study, and service. It also provides customs that should make one modest and humble.

14 Four Vows of the Church 14 Vow of Stability: in some orders, one promises to live within the confines of the cloister or parish, following the daily routine prescribed by the cloister or parish. In this way one shelters oneself from the temptations of the world and, without distraction, focuses on God.

15 Four Orders of Friars 15 Four Orders: There were four orders of friars who supported themselves by begging: Dominicans Franciscans Carmelites Augustinians. The oldest order of friars, founded by St. Francis, had been established to administer to the spiritual needs of the sick and the poor.

17 17 Four Bodily Humors in Medieval Society The practice of medicine was crude, to say the least, in the Middle Ages doctors used astrology (What s your sign, babe?) and the concept of the 4 Humors (bodily fluids) to diagnose illnesses, because medical autopsies were forbidden by the Church in this time period. This method of diagnosis and treatment continued for several hundred years, even causing the death of President George Washington in 1799 from a throat infection because his physicians thought he had too much blood, and therefore bled him to death.

18 Four Bodily Humors 18 in Medieval Society Melancholy: Seated in black bile Cold & dry (like earth) Depressed, low in spirits (dark & brooding) Sanguine: Seated in the blood Hot & moist (like the air) Cheerful, hopeful Has a reddish complexion

19 Four Bodily Humors 19 in Medieval Society Choleric: Seated in the yellow bile Hot & dry (like fire) Angry, irritable, on a short fuse Has a yellowish tint to complexion Phlegmatic: Seated in the phlegm Cold & moist (like water) Having a slow or stolid temperament, languorous
