What is TIA?

I found it difficult to get information on the doomsday period
around 1000 A.D.  and this was all I could find in my puny
electronic encyclopedia (The People's Chronology, licensed from
Henry Holt and Company, Inc.  Copyright C 1992 by James Trager).

I found this time period personally fascinating because I took a
lot of architectural history courses about the great churches of
Europe in college.  Unfortunately, any of those books are long
gone.

Although I realize that Christianity has done more than enough to
turn away the occultist or Theosophist, it still seems the
natural path for me to follow the Western tradition of mysticism.
Anyone on Theos-l have information on Gnosticism?
