Natura Deorum, II. 2) tells of the augur Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, who in 162 BC “caused the
resignation of the consuls at whose election he had presided in the previous year, basing his decision on a
fault in the auspices, of which he became aware ‘when reading the books’.”

fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a
consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an
abomination unto the Lord.…” Deuteronomy 18: 10–12.

11. Mary at the well and Mary at the spinning-wheel are the most common images of the Annunciation in
early Christian art, especially in Byzantine depictions from the fifth century onwards. Before that time,
portrayals of the Annunciation are scarce and schematic. The earliest extant depiction of Mary and the
angel precedes Martini’s Annunciation by ten centuries. Painted in grubby colours on one wall of the
Catacomb of St. Priscilla, in the outskirts of Rome, it shows a featureless seated Virgin listening to a
standing man — an angel wingless and uncrowned.

learned J.W. Burgon in 1884, on the occasion of a proposal made at Oxford to admit women to the
university: “Will none of you have the generosity or the candour to tell [Woman] what a very disagreeable
creature, in Man’s account, she will inevitably become? If she is to compete successfully with men for
‘honours’, you must needs put the classic writers of antiquity unreservedly into her hands — in other
words, must introduce her to the obscenities of Greek and Roman literature. Can you seriously intend
it? … I take leave of the subject with a short Allocution addressed to the other sex.… Inferior to us God
made you: and our inferiors to the end of time you will remain.” Quoted in Jan Morris, ed., The Oxford
