Historian’s Notebook has moved. Details here.
Thanks for your interest in me and this blog. Since I started this blog ten years ago, I’ve written eight books. Please visit my new website for the most update information on my books and blog. Here’s the link to my new About page. While you’re there, browse and sign up for a free eBook. All the best, Faith L. Justice.
Faith, your blog looks great. the posts have a lot of tremendous information and had to have taken quite a while to craft. I like your tag cloud a lot. It shows the breadth or your subject matter. Glad you linked to your ebook and paperbacks–nice quotes. I am interested that you chose only three categories when I can easily see your blog expanding to incorporate more–chronological categories would be one possiblity but also geographical. Jenny
Thanks, Jenny! I like your idea and will expand my categories in the near future. So many things to do and so little time!
Hi Faith…
Just wanted to say thanks for reading my humble little movie blog and leaving a comment. Not sure how the heck you found my site, but I appreciate the readership and the feedback.
I’ll definitely be reading your AGORA series to learn more about the differences between the film and the facts.

Thanks for commenting on my Humanities West blog entry about Agora. Your “reel vs real” entries were very informative, and I have posted a link to them on our Facebook page (as well as a modest plug for Selene of Alexandria). If you are on Facebook, please take a look.
The blog looks great, and I think a number of our Facebook “fans” will find it appealing. I’ve also ordered the book for myself.
By the way, do you know of any good historical novels about Venice in its heyday (say 12th to 16th century). It’s the topic of our next program in San Francisco, and I’m responsible for making reading recommendations for our audience.
I am on Facebook and checked it out–thanks for the link and plug, Chuck. And special thanks for buying Selene! I hope you enjoy it. I don’t know much about Venice in its heyday, but I’ll check/post on a couple of forums I belong to and see what shows up. BTW, do you know if they have anything like Humanities West in the East? It looks like lots of fun.
As far as we know, Humanities West is a unique concept and format: a multi-disciplinary exploration of historical “hot spots” with a mix of lecture, performance, and discussion spread over a two-day period, usually three times a year. It was started 26 years ago in San Francisco by some young women who wanted to create a broader context for period musical performances.
Although it’s hard to describe, and even harder to market, the organization has survived through multiple economic cycles and continues to attract a loyal audience of 800-1000 people (double counting those who attend both Friday evening and Saturday daytime) to each program. If you are interested, a list of past program topics can be found on our website: humanitieswest.org.

Hello Faith,
I’m just checking all the HFO member’s sites, or at least, for the moment, those who welcomed me. I’d just like to say thank you.
I only have time for a quick look on this occasion, but I like your web pages and blogsite; very feminine, aesthetic, ethereal and tasteful.
All the very best for 2012
T.D. McKinnon
Thanks for dropping by T.D. and the best of luck with your books!

Thank you

I would love to swap blog links with you and feature you on mine with a guest post! I too am a historical novelist and I look forward to hearing from you!
I very much enjoyed your blog, Historian’s Notebook. I am working on a history book-blog of my own, which can be seen at [one word] theoryofirony.com, then clicking on either the “sample chapter” or “blog” buttons at the top. My Rube Goldberg brain asks with an odd, well-caffeinated kind of logic: Why is there an inverse proportion between the size of the print and the importance of the message? Science. Commerce. Art. Literature. Military. Religion. I call this eccentric thinking the Theory of Irony and if your busy schedule permits, give a read, leave a comment or create a link. In any event, best of luck with your own endeavors.
P.S. It concerns Classical, Medieval and Modern eras.
I enjoyed reading your latest book on Hypatia. As I read your work, it dawned on me that what Hypatia was teaching was “Seven Liberal Arts”. Also known as Trivium and Quadrivium. This instruction was for the elite class – and still is today. The more Hoi Polloi educate their children (or ourselves) the better society will be at critical thinking, geometry, mathematics, music and astronomy (astrology).
You also mention Hypatia taught Hermetic Wisdom. The essence of this is in all today’s modern “secret/esoteric” societies – Hermetic Wisdom (Hermes Trisgimatis – Thoth/Seshat) – three parts – Alchemy, Astrology and Theurgy.
Have you read “the secret teaching of all ages” by Manly Palmer Hall?
Or John Lamb Lash – ” not in his image” – where he opens wi the the story of Hypatia. Maybe Hypatia was Gnostic not pagan??
Just my shared thoughts
Cheers
Greg
Hi, I’d love a free PDF copy of the Hypatia book please, but can’t figure out how to get one from the Smashwords link above. Thank you
