Bourges, Cathédrale St Etienne, Bay 14, Apocalypse window

Window of c1210-15. In seeking to make sense of this window one must recognise that at the time this window was conceived and made the Apocalypse of John was understood not so much eschatologically as ecclesiologically, as about the history of the Church between the first and second Advents of Christ. (On this see the chapter "The Apocalypse in Monumental Art of the Eleventh through the Thirteeneth Centuries" by Yves Christe in: "The Apocalypse in the Middle Ages", edited by Richard K Emmerson and Bernard McGinn, Cornell Univ. Press, 1992, esp. pp237-8 and the chapter "The Apocalypse in Early Medieval Exegesis" byE Ann Matter, pp. 38-50. But the whole book is of enormous value to anyone interested in the Apocalypse in the Middle Ages).

Emile Male in his "Religious Art in France. The Thirteenth Century: A Study of Medieval Iconography and its Sources", Princeton Univ. Press, 1984 (Bollingen Series XC:2) wrote: "In fact, the window at Bourges is not an illustration of the Apocalypse but a commentary on it. The theologian who conceived the plan of the composition attempted to express in visual terms St John’s doctrine as interpreted by commentators. The institution of the Church, the real presence of Christ in the Church whose soul he is, and the eternal glory of the Church after the end of time – these are the verities the artist expressed" (p. 360).

In the lower part of the window we see Christ represented as he appeared in John’s vision, amid the seven candlesticks, sword in mouth and holding the book with seven seals and the seven stars in his hands. And Paul baptizes the throng (Male interprets the figure as Peter). This is a symbolic interpretation of the passage in Rev. 4:6: "And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal" – this, and especially the sea of glass was understood to mean baptism (Anselm of Laon had said: "The sea of glass, like unto crystal is baptism. For, just as crystal is hardened water, baptism transforms wavering and irresolute men into firm and resolute Christians". Thus the first vision has to do with the institution of baptism, or if you will, the Church. The seven angels of the churches in Rev chapters 2 & 3 in the two panels above Christ represent the Church as a whole.

In the central portion of the window (panels 6-10) we see Christ in glory surrounded by 12 figures from the Old Testament, of whom Moses is one, and the 12 apostles of the New Testament. This is how Church doctors interpreted the vision of the Apocalypse in which God was seen seated on his throne and surrounded by the 24 elders.The 12 apostles receive the fire of Pentecost from Christ (nb the central panel is 19thC restoration).

In the five panels at the head of the window we Jesus and the Lamb carry the triumphal cross. This is the Christ who will come again. St Peter preaches to (or absolves?) a group while above right, two men drink from the breasts of the Church, symbolized by the crowned queen. In the interpretation of commentators Peter symbolizes the Church Militant, calling the faithful to the marriage of the Church Triump-hant with the Lamb. In the fullness of time, the Church that nourishes men with the milk of the two Testaments will enter eternal glory and become one with God. Above are the seven stars of the Church.

In a sense the three images of Christ show the one who was, who is, and who is to come. (Rev. 1:8).

Pardon my lengthy note, but this window needs some explanation – and this is just a brief one (believe me!).

1960 – Berncasteler Doctor (Mosel)

A label from the 1960 vintage of Berncasteler Doctor, a Mosel wine which has the reputation as Germany’s best. This was rather up the ladder, with both the Spätlese (late harvest) and Cabinet (or Kabinet in current German) distinctions.

I presume that my father bought this wine, and we drank it at his home in Short Hills, New Jersey.

The Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is above Bernkastel, on the Mosel (Moselle) River. The largest portion of the vineyard was owned by Dr. Hugo Thanisch, then by his widow and later heirs. The widow Thanisch adopted this label in 1901, and it has been on their wines since (including some other wines not from the Doctor vineyard). It has an 1884 engraving of Bernkastel and the Mosel River, with the Thanisch villa in the foreground, on the "Kues" side of the river. Burg Landshut is at the far right. The Doctor vineyard surrounds the hut to the left of the church tower.

This and other early Berncasteler Doctor labels which I have seen have "u. Graben" (and Graben) in the name. The Graben vineyard was just to the right of the Doctor vineyard, in this picture. Later ones did not have this addition. Perhaps the change in wine law in 1971 expunged the Graben vineyard’s separate identity.

Both words of Berncasteler Doctor retain the old spelling, with "c" instead of the current "k". I believe that this change in German spelling came about in the 1920s.

doctors value vision

A Harvard-educated neurosurgeon reveals his experiences-in and out of the operating room-with apparitions, angels, exorcism, and after-death survival, and shares the lessons he learned.

A young burn victim remains in a coma until a ghost appears.
A doctor discovers he can predict when a patient will die.
A clinically dead patient later recounts extraordinary details about the private lives of her caregivers.
A physician needs the help of a Navajo shaman to exorcise the spirit of his dead patient.

These things really happened-and neurosurgeon Allan J. Hamilton was involved in every one of them, and many more. Based on thirty years of medical experience, The Scalpel and the Soul tells the unspoken stories behind remarkable patients and strange events, and shares the moral and spiritual lessons found in them.

For physicians, supernatural inklings and intrusions are disturbing. Doctors cannot be candid with colleagues or patients because they are trained to disregard the inexplicable and unbelievable. They’re taught to discount elusive, evanescent powers of the soul. Superstition, omens, and divine spirits smack of madness.

But patients have the same experiences. Life-threatening illness or surgery frequently brings dormant spirituality to life. The soul often needs more than intensive care alone can give. The Scalpel and the Soul explores how premonition, superstition, hope, and faith not only become factors in how patients feel but can change outcomes; it validates the spiritual manifestations physicians see every day; it empowers patients to voice their spiritual needs when they seek medical help; and, finally, it addresses the mysterious, attractive powers the soul exerts during life-threatening events.
