Week 8: Jen Rohrs: diebold reading

When reading this week's article I was a little bit confused about the terms referring to people in different areas during the Middle Ages.  I've never really studied this time period and in general I thought that the term anglo-saxon referred to white Christians, however, in this article I think that they are referring to just people from the area around England and Ireland and those areas.  I'm also still confused about the Mediterranean art that we are comparing it to.  I think that this is the area around where we have been studying with Rome and Greece and everything, but I would just like some clarification because I don't know very much about this time or the terms.
