C. SWAINSON, M.A. VICAR OF HIGH HURST WOOD WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCLXXIII All Rights reserved PREFACE. IT is well known that certain days have been, in -various countries, considered as ominous of the ensuing weather. The popular sayings attached to them are of great antiquity, and therefore the alteration of the Calendar has affected them in a material still degree ; yet do the peasantry of the Continent consult re- their critical and if a ' Volks- ligiously days ; kalender' of Germany, Switzerland, or Bo- " hemia were to discontinue giving its Bauern-" " or Wetter-regelen," there is no doubt that its circulation would be sensibly diminished. So, too, in our own land, each district has its weather proverbs, some peculiar to itself, some, it may be, shared in common with the country folk of France, Germany, and Italy. It is to the superstitious side of weather lore that the reader is directed more particularly vi PREFACE. in the First Part of the work and it present ; may be remarked that special attention has been paid to the weather proverbs attached to the various Saints' days throughout the year. The Second Part contains sayings relating to the sun, moon, stars, and atmospheric in- fluences also generally ; many prognostics drawn from the habits of animals, birds, in- sects, &c. To compile a Handbook of this kind would have been impossible without the aid of pre- vious publications, a list of which is given below. The author is particularly indebted ' to Notes and Queries,' Brand, and Chambers, also to Professor Inwards' excellent book on this subject, and to Mr Denham's curious collection, which, however, contain but very few foreign proverbs. Many of the latter not, however, in their original language may be found in Baron von Reinsberg-Diiringsfeld's ' Das Wetter im Sprichwort' LIST OF WORKS CONSULTED.

Among the peasantry in Belgium there is a superstition that in Leap Year the young of no domestic animal will thrive, and that grafts and young shoots will never come to their full growth. Thus they have a proverb " In Leap Year the weather always changes on a Friday," an the exists in That being unlucky day ; and same prejudice North Italy, where they say, An bisesti, o la mama o '1 bambi : i.e., When a child is born in leap year, either it or its mother will die before the is over and year ; An bisest no pianta vit, ne met inest, A similar belief to that which has been mentioned as prevail- ing in Belgium.

LEAP YEAR. 7 Quand 1'annado es de bize' (bissextile) Me'fia bous (mefiez vous) de 1'annado avan et de 1'annado apres. And, Vo me senonge Bissetre Cote d'Or : i.e., You wish me bad luck. " Bissetre, en bourguignon, s'est dit dans la signifi- cation de malheur, parceque la superstition a fait croire anciennement, et fait croire encore, qu'il y avait un mauvais sort attach d tant aux annees bissextile qu'aux jours intercalaires du bissexte de feVrier.

  • Medardustag Am 8. Juni
    Medardustag am 8. Juni Der Gedenktag für Medardus, dem Namenspatron der Ostdorfer Kirche, fällt diesmal auf einen Sonntag. Zur Feier des Tages findet abends am 8. Juni um 19 Uhr ein Medarduskonzert statt. Auch wenn in der evangelischen Kirche keine Heiligen verehrt werden, fragen wir: Wer war dieser Medardus? Wo und wann lebte er? Medardus wurde als Sohn eines fränkischen Adligen vermutlich im Jahre 475 in Salency bei Valenciennes in Frankreich geboren. Zum Bischof von Vermand wurde er im Jahre 530 gewählt. Er verlegte den Bischofssitz nach Noyon. Danach wurde er Bischof von Tournai (heute Belgien). Von dort aus missionierte er Flandern. Medardus zeichnete sich durch seine hingebungsvolle Liebe zu Menschen in Armut und Not aus. Früh verehrte man ihn und sprach ihn heilig. Medardus als Wetterheiliger Nach einer Legende wurde Medardus vom Gewitter überrascht, als er über Felder wanderte. Sofort flog ein Adler herbei, breitete seine Flügel über ihn aus und schützte ihn vor dem Regen. Trockenen Fußes kam er zu Hause an. Deshalb machte man Medardus zum Patron der Schirmemacher. Von den Bauern wurde er als Wetterheiliger angerufen, um für gutes Heuwetter zu sorgen. Am Gedenktag von Medardus, dem 8. Juni, wurde das Wetter für die beginnende Heuernte bestimmt. Eine Bauerregel lautet: „Was St. Medardus für Wetter hält, solch Wetter auch in die Ernte fällt.“ Oder: „Macht Medardus feucht und nass, regnet’s ohne Unterlass.“ Medardus starb wahrscheinlich um 560 und wurde in Soissons (nördlich von Paris) auf Befehl des merowingischen Königs beigesetzt. König Chlotar ließ in Soissons, dem Sitz der französischen Könige, eine Abtei errichten und darin die Gebeine von Medardus beisetzen.

After their meeting, they placed an order in Brussels, and the work was finished in March 1478. The churchwardens again travelled to Brussels to settle the payment, and the retable was shipped to Zoutleeuw via Mechelen.1 The subject and the style, as well as the presence of Brussels quality marks on both the sculpture and the case of the oldest retable preserved in the Zoutleeuw church today (fig. 8), confirm that it is the very same one that was commissioned in 1476.2 Saint Leonard, the Christian hero of the altarpiece, lived in Merovingian France around the year 500. His hagiography identi- fies his parents as courtiers to King Clovis and states that he had been baptized and instructed in Christian faith by Saint Remigius, archbishop of Reims. Leonard quickly won Clovis’ goodwill, and was granted many favors by him. Not only was he allowed to free the pris- oners he visited, he was also offered a bishopric. However, preferring solitude and prayer he refused the honor and instead went to live in a forest near Limoges, where he preached and worked miracles. One of these wonders involved the pregnant queen, who had joined her husband on a hunting party in the woods and was suddenly seized by labor pains. Leonard prayed on her behalf for safe delivery.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.
