AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Q Quade, Michael Friedrich a Lutheran theologian of Germany, was born July 28, 1682, at Zachau, Pomerania. He studied at Wittenberg and Greifswalde; was in 1716 rector of the gymnasium at Stettin, and died July 11, 1757. He wrote, De Dionysio Areopagita Scriptisque eidem Suppositis (Greifswalde, 1708): — De Apostasia a Lutheranismo ad Papismum AEternum Exitiosa (1711'): — De Vita Judae Apostoli (eod.): — De Ritu Veterum Vota Solvendi et Nuncupandi Variisque Votorum Generibus (1730). See Doring, Die gelehrten Theologen Deutschlands, s.v. (B.P.) Quagutl Version Of The Scriptures Quagutl is the vernacular spoken by the Indians of Vancouver's Island. From the report of the British and Foreign Bible Society for 1882 we learn that, at the request of the Church Missionary Society, the gospel of Matthew, translated by the Reverend A.J. Hall, the only European who has studied the Quagutl, has been printed by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The same society also published, in 1884, the gospel of John, prepared likewise by Mr. Hall. (B.P.) Quarles, Francis an eminent author and poet, was born at Stewards, near Rumford, Essex, England, in 1592. He was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, and Lincoln's Inn. He occupied various civil. office until the rebellion of 1641 in Ireland, and he died September 8, 1644. Quarles was a man of learniig and ability, and the writer of many books in prose and verse, which are admirable for their moral and religious character. The following are a few of his works: Emblems, in five books: — A Feast for Worms, in a Poem on the History of Jonah: — Hadassah, or History of Queen Esther: — The History of Samson: — Job Militant, with Meditations Divine and Moral: — Sion's Sonnets Sung by Solomon the King: — Sion's Elegies Sung by Jeremy the Prophet: — Pantceologia, or the Quintessence of Meditation: — Divine Fancies, Digested into Epigramns, Meditations, and Observations: — Midnight Meditations on Death: — Manual of Devotion: — Heroglyphics of the Life of Man: — The Enchiridion, 3 containing Institutions Divine and Moral. See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v. Quetzalcoatl an idol or god of the Mexicans, particularly worshipped by all persons concerned in traffic. Forty days, before the feast of this god, the merchants purchased a well-shaved slave, who during that time represented the deity, spending his time in dancing and rejoicing, andlon the day of the festival was sacrificed to the deity at midnight, his heart being first offered to the moon, and then laid before the idol. This deity was, worshipped under another name at Cholula, where he was looked upon as the god of the air, the founder of the city, the institutor of penance, and the author of sacrifices. He was represented sitting on a kind of pedestal, habited in a cloak ornamented with red crosses. His devotees drew blood from their tongues and ears to procure his favor and before going to war sacrificed to him five boys and as many girls of three years of age. Quichuan Version Of The Scriptures Quichua was the predominant language of Peru during the sovereignty of the ancient Incas. It still prevails on the plateau of the Andes, from Quito to Santiago del Estero, and in some districts it is exclusively spoken. Before the year 1880 the Quichuans were entirely without the word of God in their vernacular. At the request of the Reverend F.N. Lett, the British and Foreign Bible Society's agent for Buenos Ayres, the gospel of John. was translated by the Reverend J. H. Gibbon-Spilsbury, of the South American Missionary Society, and an edition of one thousand copies was published at the expense of the British and Foreign Bible Society. This is the first portion of the word of God translated and published in the Quichuan. (B.P.) Quinby, Hosea, D.D. a Free-will Baptist minister, was born at Sandwich, N.H., August 25, 1804. He was converted in 1824, and graduated from Waterville College, now Colby University, in 1832. He became principal of the Parsonsfield Seminary, Maine, and having been ordained June 2, 1833, preached habitually during his nearly seven years' connection with the institution. He was one of the editors of the Morning Star, and began to write a history of the Free Baptist denomination, which was published in part in the 4 Quarterly Magazine. For a few years he was pastor and teacher at Meredith village, N.H. Upon the establishment of the Smithville Seminary, afterwards Lapham Institute, in North Scituate, R.I., in 1846, he was appointed its principal, and was very successful in the management ofits affairs. Subsequently, as the seminary was greatly embarrassed financially, it was sold to Mr. Quinby, and carried on by him as a private enterprise for several years. For thirty years he did double work as preacher and teacher, and may be said to have been the father of the educational interests of his denomination. In January 1855, he became, a second time, pastor of the church in Meredith, and resumed his work as a teacher. On February 28, 1857, he entered upon his duties as pastor of the church in Pittsfield, N.H. at the same time having charge of a high-school in the village. His next settlements were at Lebanon, Maine, in 1861, and Lake Village, N.H., in 1864. In 1868 he removed to Concord, and devoted himself to literary work, an to his duties as chaplain of the New Hampshire state prison, for several years. His last pastorates were at Nottingham, October, 1872; Pittsfield, January 1875, and Mellon Mills, in May 1876, where he died, October 11, 1878. (J.C.S.) Quinet, Edgar a French philosophical writer, was born at Bourg, Bresse, February 17, 1803. He studied at Paris and Heidelberg, was for some time professor at Lyons and Paris, and died at Versailles, March 27, 1875. He published, De la Grece Moderne dans ses Rapports avec Antiqaite (1830): — De l'Avenis' es Religions: — De la Revolution et de la Philosophie: — Des la Vie de, Jeus par Strauss (essays written for the Rue des Deux Mondes and Revue de Paris. His treatise on the life of Jesus was translated into German. by Kleine, 1839): — Genie des Religions (1842): — l’Ultramontanisme ou la Societe Moderne et l'Eglise (1843; Germ. transl., Leipsic, 1845): — Le Christianisme et la Recolution Francaise (1846): — Philosophie de l'Histoire de France (1855): — Question Romaine devant Histoire (1867): — La Creation (1870, 2 volumes). His works were published in 11 vols. (1856-1870).. See Chassin, Edg. Quinet, sa Vie et son OEuvre (Paris, 1859); Vinet, Literature Franc. au Dix-Neuvieme Siecle; Lichtenberger, Encyclop. des Sciences Religieuses, s.v. (B.P.) 5 Quistorp, Johann Jacob a Lutheran theologian of Germany, was born at Rostock, March 19, 1717. He pursued his theological studies at the university of his native place, was in 1743 professor at Kiel, in 1747 court-preacher at Euitin, in 1754 professor at Rostock, and died December 26, 1766. Besides several. volumes of sermons, Quistorp published, De Christo Legem et Prophetas non Solvente, sed Implente (Rostock, 1759): — De Sacris Poenitentiae Victimis Jansenistarum (1760): — De Recentissima Loci de Angelis Bonis ex Theologia Dogmatica Proscriptione Telleriana (1764). See Doring, Die gelehrten Theologen Deutschlands, s.v. (B.P.) 6 R Rabbah (<061560>Joshua 15:60) is conjectured by Lieut. Conder (Tent Work, 2:339) to be the present Khurbet Rubba, laid down on the Ordnance Map at five miles northeast of Beit-Jibrin, and described in the. accompanying Memoirs (3:360) as consisting of "caves, cisterns, and heaps of stones, zuined walls, bases of pillars and shafts much worn, two lintel stones with crosses, each measuring about seven feet by two and a half feet." Rabbanism is the name of a school of Jewish doctors in Spain, which flourished for nine generations, covering the period from the beginning of the 11th century to the end of the 15th, after which they succeeded to the Gaons (q.v.). The founder of this school was rabbi Samuel Hallevi, surnamed Haragid, or the prince, who lived in 1027. The last of the line was rabbi Isaac Aboab, of Castile, who left that. kingdom after the edict of banishment in 1492, and spent the remainder of his life in Portugal. SEE SCHOOLS, HEBREW. Rabbath-Ammon Some additional particulars respecting Amman are given by Merrill, East of the Jordan, page 386 sq. Rabbith Tristram (Bible Places, page 237) thinks this may be the modern Arrabeh, which, however, does not lie "in the plain" of Esdraelon, but about two miles southwest of Dothan; while Lieut. Conder suggests (Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 2:228) Rdba, a Small stone village lying about nine miles southwest of Beisan, and therefore entirely beyond the boundaries of Issachar. Rabe, Johann Jacob a Lutheran theologian of Germany, was born January 16, 1710, at Lindfluhr, near Wurzburg. He studied at Altdorf, was in 1741 deacon at 7 Anspach, in 1764 archdeacon, in 1778 pastor and member of consistory, in 1790 general superintendent. Rabe died February 12, 1798. He is best known by his German translation of the Mishna (Anspach, 1760-63, 6 parts), and by his translation of the treatises Berachoth and Peah, according to the Jerusalem Talmud (1777, 1781).
