"Remember the days of old—consider the years of many generations." 3lorttatttt PUBLISHED BY SHIRLEY & HYDE. 1629. : : DISTRICT OF MAItfE, TO WIT DISTRICT CLERKS OFFICE. BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the first day of June, A. D. 1829, and in the fifty-third year of the Independence of the United States of America, Messrs. Shiraey tt Hyde, of said District, have deposited in this office, the title of a book, the right whereof they claim as proprietors, in the words following, to wit Tables of Contemporary Chronology, from the Creation, to A.D. 1825. In seven parts. "Remember the days of old—consider the years of many generations." In conformity to the act of the Congress of the United States, entitled " An Act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned ;" and also to an act, entitled "An Act supplementary to an act, entitled An Act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned ; and for extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints." J. MUSSEV, Clerk of the District of Maine. A true copy as of record, Attest. J MUSSEY. Clerk D. C. of Maine — TO THE PUBLIC. The compiler of these Tables has long considered a work of this sort a desideratum. Often, when engaged in readii • the history of some nation or people, he has lamented the want of ready assistance to ascertain memorable contemporary events in other parts of the world. No Chronological Tables, which he has seen, appear to answer the purpose for which these are intended, and (he- hopes) suitably adapted. If good histories are at hand (which is not always the case) the labor indispensible to ascertain what may, generally, be discovered by a single glance of the eye, is not only troublesome, and tiresome, but an unprofita- ble interruption of the object in pursuit. In one particular, more especially, the compiler considers all Chronological Tables extant defective—viz : in their scanty notices of Eminent Divines, Statesmen, Scholars, Artists, Men of Science, &c. &c. To know who have been much distinguished, in whatever branch of learning or science, during the period, of whose events we contemplate the history, is not only useful, as it gives us more perfect and adequate views of the subject ; but also, because it forms an association in the mind, exceedingly beneficial, inasmuch as it fixes the Chronology of remarkable events more perman- ently in the memory. Very particular attention has been bestowed upon this department in the following tables, which, it is believed, contain notices of all the most eminent men, in every branch of learning and science, in every period, and in every country. compiler would not be misunderstood to mean, that all eminent characters are noticed ; — this I The historian will not would have been a useless, and an unprofitable labor ; but he thinks he may say, that the scholar and ' find his tables defective in this respect ; and, he hopes, not in any other, because he has endeavored that no prominent, escape his research. ! or important political event, which can interest an American scholar, should it gives The best division of Chronology is an object of more importance than is generally supposed ; because much facility our historical researches, while it also affords very important aids to the memory. I to After much consideration, the compiler has fixed upon the plan, which he now submits to the public. This work is divided into seven parts : PART FIRST, is separated into two columns only, viz : Sacred—Pro- , — fane. It extends from The Creation, 4004 B. C. to the Building of Rome, 752 B. C. PART SECOND, is divided into four columns, until the end of the Ancient Grecian Empire, B. C. 86, viz : Scrip- ' three only, viz : Scrip- ture Chronology, Grecian, Roman, Miscellaneous ; —after which it is continued in columns ture Chronology, Roman, Miscellaneous. This period extends to the end of Scripture Chronology, viz : A. D. 95. PART THIRD extends from the end of Scripture Chronology to the extinction of the Western Roman Empire, A. D. 476. It is contained in three columns, viz : Ecclesiastical, Roman, Miscellaneous. I PART FOURTH extends from the extinction of the Western Roman Empire, to the erection of the New Empire, 800. period is divided into four columns, viz ; Ecclesiastical, Eastern Empire, I under Chailemagne, A. D. This France, Spain, &.c. Miscellaneous. PART FIFTH, from the oera of Charlemagne, A. D. 800, to the period of the Reformation by Luther and others, A. j 1517. This is divided into six columns, viz: Ecclesiastical—Eastern Empire—Germany, Italy, Prussia 1 D. —France, Spain, Portugal—England, ifcc, Miscellaneous. PART SIXTH extends from the commencement of the Reformation, A. D. 1517, to the year of American Indepen- l dence, A. D. 1776. This is divided into six columns, viz Ecclesiastical—Germany, Italy, Prussia—France. Spain, Portugal— Britain, America, Miscellaneous. \ Great PART SEVENTH extends from the oera of American Independence to the year 1825. Same division as in part sixth. , It will be obvious that France, Spain, and Portugal, as also England, &c. and America, are known to history before , the respective periods when they have distinct columns assigned to them ; but, in these early periods, their memorable events are few. These are all contained in the preceding miscellaneous columns, with distinct and distinguishing marks | i prefixed, to which the reader is particularly referred at the head of each respective column. In preparing this work, it was the wish of the compiler to insert the notices of all Ecclesiastical events, including no- I tices of eminent divines, of all countries, as particularly as the space would allow, in the Ecclesiastical column ; but this I this column would be too full, while others would be comparatively he found utterly impracticable ; for, sometimes, barren. But whenever ecclesiastical events, or notices of eminent divines, are found in columns appropriated to the countries i where they existed, all such notices are inserted in italics, to facilitate the search. In the Miscellaneous column he has endeavored to exclude all Ecclesiastical Chronology ; —and in this column notices of all eminent characters, other than ecclesiastical are inserted in italics. J I A little attention to these remarks, before the tables are used, he hopes and believes, will render them easy, useful and profitable. [ It cannot but be observed that some of the columns exhibit a lean appearance. These vacancies are not to be charged I fts blame to the compiler. They are not occasioned by any negligence or carelessness in him, but by the paucity of me- j , , IV morable events during the several periods when they respectively occur. That they remain in their present state has not yet been regretted by the compiler. Better that they should so remain than to fill them up with unimportant and unin- teresting items, which, if ever noticed to be regarded, would only burthen the memory with useless lumber ; and perhaps discourage the use tables of the ; and thus occasion the disuse of what may be made profitable. Besides if all the col- umns were full it would fatigue the eye ; whereas occasional vacancies, where nothing important occurs, will tend to re- lieve it. One object has been kept constantly in view. The compiler cannot but believe that these Tables may be introduced into Academies and Schools of a higher order, to much profit and advantage. Should the expectation prove well foun- ded, he may perhaps receive something like a compensation for this work ; but, in the publication alone, whatever he may realize as the reward of his extensive labors, he cannot but believe that he lias been instrumental of some good to the community.

  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

Servite life in the Florentine priory of St. Mary of Cafaggio in the years 1286 to 1289. The approval of the Order On 11 February 1304, the Dominican Pope Benedict XI, then in the first year of his pontificate, sent a bull, beginning with the words Dum levamus, from his palace of the Lateran in Rome to the prior general and all priors and friars of the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary. With this, he gave approval to the Rule and Constitutions they professed, and thus to the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary which had originated in Florence some seventy years previously. For the Servants of Saint Mary a long period of waiting had come to an end, and a new era of development began for the young religious institute which had come to take its place among the existing religious orders. The bull, or pontifical letter, of Pope Benedict XI does not say anything about the origins of the Order; it merely recognizes that Servites follow the Rule of St. Augustine and legislation common to other orders embracing the same Rule.

  • Exploring the Distinctiveness of Neo-Latin Jesuit Didactic Poetry in Naples: the Case of Nicolò Partenio Giannettasio
    chapter 2 Exploring the Distinctiveness of Neo-Latin Jesuit Didactic Poetry in Naples: The Case of Nicolò Partenio Giannettasio Claudia Schindler The Jesuit Nicolò Partenio Giannettasio (1648–1715) was one of the most intriguing and influential authors of seventeenth-century Naples.1 Born in 1648, in Parthenope (i.e., Naples), as he used to call his home city, he entered the Jesuit order at the age of sixteen, having lost his family during the plague of 1656. Like other members of the Society of Jesus, Giannettasio was a highly educated man with a wide range of interests: he studied Scholastic philosophy at Palermo, taught mathematics at the Collegio Massimo in Naples for more than ten years, traveled in Egypt,2 and designed the Santa Maria del Gesù church in Sorrento, which was built near the Jesuit residence La Cocumella and is still extant today.3 1 This chapter is a revised version of my German-language article, “Wissen ist Macht! Nicolò Partenio Giannettasio (1648–1715) und die neulateinische Jesuitenkultur in Neapel,” Scientia poetica 18 (2014): 28–59. For the revision of the English text and for the Latin–English transla- tions, I would like to thank Ronald Mayer-Opificius. For Giannettasio’s biography, cf.

    The Babylonian Captivity of the Popes: Lessons for the 21st Century Church Leaders Chinedu E. Nnatuanya Abstract Since the death and resurrection of Christ, the church has been a focal point in the history and development of the human race. Church as an institution has been a determinant factor in the socio-economic, politico-cultural and religious segments of the society. As a great player, its success has been the success of the society and its failure the failure of humanity. However, this institution has affected the society positively and negatively through her various stages it has passed since inception. Nevertheless, looking at the present church characterized with politics of rancor, struggle for power, excesses and abuses, intolerance, corruption, divide and rule, ethnicity, favoritism among others, it seemed as if to say that the church has not learnt from her passed. The captivity of the popes has a great volume of lesson for present leaders in a view to have rethink. Therefore, this work ventures at investigating why this captivity in order to prevent such event in this present time. Introduction Since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the church has metamorphosed into series of stages. It has been persecuted more than any other institution yet has survived. In each period the church came out not being the same. However, between 1305-1416 the church passed through prolonged period of crises during which it seems that the church is doomed to destruction. It found its authority undermined, openly challenged and divided among rivals. Although, at the end, it emerged with its authority, yet the struggle for supremacy brought about significant changes to the structure of the church and sowed the seed that germinated during the reformation era.

  • Vita a and Called the Previously Known Life of St
    01 Introduction , Germany Life of Lord Norbert, Archbishop of Magdeburg “Vita-A” Translated and Edited by Fr. Theodore J. Antry, O. Praem.[1] Introduction: In 1853 Roger Wilmans discovered in the Royal Library in Berlin, in a 14th century manuscript[2] originating in the former Norbertine Abbey of St. Peter in Brandenburg, a life of St. Norbert which was hitherto unknown. Three years later, in 1856, this Vita was published in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica series.[3] Wilmans believed that this Vita which he discovered predated the Vita which was already known and which was published by the Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum.[4] He therefore named his discovery Vita A and called the previously known Life of St. Norbert Vita B. Until 1972, when a fragment of a manuscript[5] in Hamburg was identified as a section of Vita A, Wilmans' discovery remained the only copy of this Life of St. Norbert and it remains to this day the only complete edition. The identification of the Hamburg fragment, however, informs us of the fact that there was at least one other copy of Vita A in existence. This fragment also dates from the 14th century. It is slightly damaged since it had been used for binding a book. The following translation is based upon the 1856 edition of Roger Wilmans as found in the Monumenta series. For information on Vita A and its interpretation, I have relied on the Introduction to the Vita Norberti A[6] written by Father W. M. Grauwen, O. Praem. of Postel. This Introduction has been translated into English by Father O.

  • Pontifex Maximus
    bs_bs_banner Journal of Religious History Vol. ••, No. ••, •• 2016 doi: 10.1111/1467-9809.12400 ROALD DIJKSTRA AND DORINE VAN ESPELO Anchoring Pontifical Authority: A Reconsideration of the Papal Employment of the Title Pontifex Maximus It is a common assumption that the title of supreme priesthood or pontifex maximus is included in the official papal titulature, and it has been supposed that the Roman bishop adopted it from the Roman emperor in late antiquity. In fact, however, it was probably not until the fifteenth century that the designation was first used by the papacy, and it has continued to be part of papal representation ever since. The title was deeply rooted in the Roman imperial past. At several stages in papal history the papal agency felt the need to draw back (again) on this ancient, traditional title and managed to successfully (re-)introduce the title by anchoring it in the cultural biogra- phy of the papacy. Introduction Since Antiquity, the interplay between the Roman bishops and secular rulers has been subject to continuous transformation and renegotiation, as both groups continually reverted to established traditions in order to sustain legiti- macy and pre-eminence.1 At the same time, however, modes of representation had to be innovative in order to appeal to contemporary tastes, needs, and ex- pectations. Anchoring these novelties in tradition was a convenient means of implementing, and reinforcing, the desired effect, and tracing these processes of embedding the new in the familiar offers us the possibility of understanding cultural, political, and religious transformation. An outstanding example of this kind of “anchoring innovation” is that of Roman episcopal titulature, as can be 1.

  • “Going to Canossa” – Exploring the Popular Historical Idiom
    “Going to Canossa” – Exploring the popular historical idiom NCSS Thematic Strand(s): Time, Continuity, and Change (Power, Authority, and Governance) Grade Level: 7-12 Class Periods Required: One 50 Minute Period Purpose, Background, and Context In order to make history more tangible and explain historical references in context, we are tracing common idioms to their historical roots. The popular idiom (at least in Germany/Europe) to indicate reluctant repentance or “eating dirt” is ‘taking the walk to Canossa’ which references the climax of the Investiture Conflict in the 11th century CE culminating in the below scandal between Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII. In previous classes we have discussed the political structures of the time, the power struggles between Church and state, and the social background leading up to this event. We will illuminate the political/religious situation of interdependence and power- play leading up to this éclat, the climax of the Investiture Conflict, why it was such a big affair for both sides, and how it was resolved, i.e. who “won” (initial appearances). Additionally, the implications for European rule, the relation between secular and religious rulers after Canossa will be considered in the lessons following this one. Objectives & Student outcomes Students will: Examine historical letters between Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII regarding the excommunication, pictures depicting the events at Canossa and others (NCSS Standards 2010, pp. 30-31) Apply critical thinking skills to historical inquiry by interpreting, analyzing and synthesizing events of the past (NCSS Standards 2010, pp. 30-31) Understand the historical significance of the Investiture Conflict and the results of the previous and ensuing power politics in Europe (NCSS Standards 2010, pp.
