Turkish Cemetery Scenes at Scutari Amid Marble Tombs
A London Spectator piece describes a Turkish cemetery on the Marmora shore at Scutari. Guides explain why Osmanlis favor Scutari as a burial place, with tokens on tombs and markers revealing gender, profession, and family structure, ending with a lament from a poet on a girl’s grave.
Oxford and its medieval monastic origins
The piece traces Oxford’s origins to Alfred the Great and later monastic foundations linked to William the Conqueror. It notes Carfax as the central site, four guiding streets, and Oxford’s distinctive monastic plan. It contrasts English and American universities, emphasizing heterogeneity and college-based structures rather than a single university system.
