Scene 2: The gaoler's quarters in the castle Scene 3: Dalibor's cell in the tower
by Daniel Waley
Because it produced so much paper propaganda-and therefore direct historical evidence-the contest between Empire and Papacy has for long dominated the history of the Middle Ages. But there's more to be learned about the medieval papacy,* says the speaker, ' from a knowledge of how many real swords were ready to be used in its defence than from the fullest understanding of the doctrine of the two allegorical swords.' Dr. Waley, Lecturer in Medieval History at the London School of Economics and Political Science, talks about his preparation of a history of the Papal State in the Middle Ages.

The Curious History of Maise
Talk by Edward Hyams
There is much in the contention that all high civilisations have been founded on a cereal plant. In his talk Edward Hyams tries to trace to its origins a cereal that is the second most important of all economic plants and an active partner in civilisation in almost every country in the world.
