“Founded in 1296, Veere's first link with Scotland was formed when the Cistercian Abbot of Melrose received from the Count of Flanders the right to export Scottish wool into Flanders duty free. Soon after, Ada, sister of King William the Lion of Scotland, married Floris III, Count of Zeeland.”

The Scottish Staple at Veere

"Before long it occurred to me to do what historians are professionally equipped to do. Live with a cluttered mental attic; run a spiritual antique shop; resist the impulse to throw anything away. Hang on after the avant-garde rejects. Save, shuffle, classify, enjoy the relics. Eventually shapes emerge. One learns to live with contradictions and paradoxes, but what is new about that in theology?”

Martin Marty in Theology Today, January 1972, p. 472.

N.B. This is NOT an image of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895), the first Black woman to earn an MD in the U.S. It is Mary Eliza Mahoney (1845-1926), the first professionally trained African American nurse in the U.S. No images of Crumpler taken during her lifetime are known to exist. Be careful because several websites and publications mistake Mahoney for Crumpler. #medhistory #historodons #blackhistory

"The emphasis in the Qur’an to save lives combined with Prophet Muhammad’s charitable approach to health care led to what later developed into bimaristans, a new type of medical-cum-charitable institution, where sick people of all backgrounds could be treated for free. The first mobile dispensary that was set up by Muhammad took the form of a tent at the battle of Khandaq (circa 627), wherein RufaidabintSa’ad, the first female Muslim nurse, treated the wounded."

#Holocaustdeniers will argue that the crematoriums at Auschwitz were actually dynamited by the Soviets. This is without evidence, and evidence for destruction by the Nazis is cited by Robert Jan Van Pelt in his rebuttal to Germar Rudolf:

Deniers ignore aerial photographs showing Nazis dismantling the crematoriums.

Report Of Professor Robert Jan Van Pelt

Van Pelt response to rudolf export testimony.

I am thinking of doing next semester a class (seminar style) on the history of the media from the printing press to the digital age. Any suggestions for topics to cover and suitable English-language readings?

Does anybody want to share their syllabus?

Many thanks in advance!
