It is also an eye~opening and controversial view of medieval Christendom, and the alienation of the Church from its Jewish roots. This fascinating study culminates thirty years of research and writing by Dr. Joachim Prinz, the distinguished president of the American Jewish Congress. Bitterly attacked as "that Jew on the throne of Peter," Pope Anaclet II (1130~38) was still a Jew to his contemporaries even though his family had converted to Catholicism three generations before. As Dr. Prinz points out, this has been almost entirely forgotten in succeeding centuries. A student of Abelard and one of the most enlightened Pontiffs of the Middle Ages, Anaclet was a member of the Pierleoni, the so~called "Rothschilds of the Middle Ages," an enormously powerful banking family who dominated much of medieval Rome from their strongholds in the city's ancient Ghetto. He ascended the throne during the great medieval battle between the forces of reason and the militant advocates of unquestioning faith. Now new research has uncovered astonishing new evidence that two other Popes were also relatives of the Pierleoni. One is Gregory VI (1045~46), the first of the medieval Reform Popes, who, only fifteen years after the conversion of the Jewish Pierleoni, was seated on the Papal throne. He had frankly and openly bought the Papacy, and was deposed two years later. But his disciple and close relative, Hildebrand, succeeded to the throne as Gregory VII in 1073~85. This "Jewish" Pope became the most brilliant advocate of Papal supremacy in the history of the Holy See, and was later made a saint. Of particular interest and value to the general reader in this new day of ecumenical ferment and continued progress, will be Dr. Prinz's colorful, careful delineation of historical background. With clarity and immediacy rare among religious chroniclers, he traces the story of Judaeo~Christian relations back to Christ's ministry among his...

Scott, Xmas, 1926 / In memory of 'Gordie'.", referring to Gordon Tupper who was killed in France in 1917. The Canadian priest and poet, Frederick George Scott (1861-1944) volunteered for war service at the age of 53. He served in France and Flanders from 1914 until the Armistice. His memoir was published as "The Great War As I Saw It". An Anglican priest and Canadian poet, he was regarded as the "Poet of the Laurentians" and was associated with the Confederation Poets. He was a confidant, friend and spiritual guide to many generals, officers and enlisted men during the First World War. In the Summer of 1943, during the Quebec Conference, Canon Scott was invited by Churchill and Roosevelt to a private meeting where he read some of his poetry. Nicknamed "Holy Reggie" by his sailors, Sir Reginald Godfrey Otway Tupper (1859-1945) was a Royal Navy Officer of the late Victorian period who served in the First World War. He served in numerous significant commands and in 1915, following the outbreak of the First World War, he was given command of the patrol area around the West Coast of Scotland and subsequently took over command of the Northern Patrol in 1916 and was promoted to vice admiral. Tupper was promoted to admiral after the war and appointed Commander-in-Chief, Western Approaches based in Queenstown in Southern Ireland, a post he held through the Irish War of Independence.

Signed and inscribed by the author, Mary Cross, with black pen at the center of the full title page. "Who's that girl? Who is Madonna, really? Madonna has always defied attempts to pin down her identity by rapidly changing her image. She acts out our fantasies faster than we can dream them; her many personae taking center stage while she herself eludes capture.We can scrutinize the biographical facts - birth, marriage, motherhood, career - and yet the real person, one of the world's most famous wommen, eludes us. "You will never know the real me. Ever," she told Vanity Fair magazine at the height of her fame. The masks and the fantasy identities are profitable, certainly, keeping her fans wanting more. And they have inspired university professors and cultural critics to enshrine her as a postmodern icon of pastiche and appropriation. But lately Madonna has been trying out some new identities, seemingly for real. Take her new identity as wife to a member of the British gentry and as the mother of three children, living in the English countryside as if to the manor born. She has learned to ride horses and shoot quail, to run a large household with servants, and to embrace a domestic role as a wife and mother bringing up her son and daughter, as well as their new brother from Malawi. This is a long way from the MTV video Madonna of "Express Yourself" and "Justify My Love"'; yet, new and different as it is, this may be a more authentic transformation for her. It is not about selling song-and-dance or even an image, although this new image doesn't hurt and it's not a transformation taking place in private. To drum up interest in her worldwide Confessions on a Dance Floor tour in 2006 and those to come, Madonna has even been talking to the media about her new life, riding horseback with David Letterman, making pronouncements about child care, and appeaaring in the gossip columns and on the covers of fashion magazines on a regular basis. The video of her Number 1 song in 2006, "Hung Up," has received five MTV nominations, and she's given us another look at her backstage and private life in a new documentary, I've Got a Secret to Tell You. At the age of 48, keeping herself in the public eye and on the charts is more important than ever.The biographer's task, to unearth the life and the personality, seems daunting in the face of the many masks of Madonna. Yet we can speculate and do some detective work by looking at the "back story," starting with Madonna's life growing up in a big family in the Midwest." - excerpt from the Introduction.
