AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Becan is the name of several saints. 1. The son of Cula, and contemporary of St. Columba, lived at Imlech- Fiaich, now Einlagh, County Meath, Ireland. He was so famous in his day that some place him among the twelve apostles of Ireland. He is comnmemorated April 5. 2. Of Cluain-aird-Mobecong, commemorated May 26. He was brother of St. Corbmac, in whose Life his monastery is called Kilibrecain (or Cluainaird-Mobecoc) in Munster. O’Clery puts the site of this church in Muscraighe Breoghain, and attaches him also to Tigh Chonaill, in Ui- Briuin Cualann; adding, from the Life of St. Abban, that he himself built a church at Cluainaird Mobecoc, and left Becan in it with the office of the holy Church, as in every church he blessed. Here St. Becan continued till his death, A.D. 689 (or 690). In the Annals of Ireland he is known by the diminutives Dabeoc and Dabecoc. See Lanigan, Eccles. Hist: Irel. ii, 21, 129; O’Donovan, Four Masters. 3. Surnamed Ruim (or Ruiminn); commemorated March 17, was the son of Ernan, and a near relative of St. Coltmba, and of the early abbots of Hy. Leaving Ireland, he went first to Iona, and then into a solitary place. There he lived for several years, while his uncle, Segenius, was abbot of the island. He died March 17, 077. Becan, Martin a noted French Jesuit, who flourished in 1550-1624, was for a long time professor of philosophy and theology in the colleges of his order. He was a favorite with the emperor Mathias, who retained him at Vienna, and with his son Ferdinand II, who made him his confessor. This position and his writings give us an insight into the zeal with which he supported that policy of which the Thirty Years’ war was the final result. On sundry occasions he wrote against king James I, and he even went so far, especially in his Controversia Anglicana de Potestate Regis et Pontificis (Mayence, 1612), as to defend the legitimacy of attacking.the life of kings. The Roman see found it wise to condemn the work. His Opuscula Theologica (Mogunt. 1610-21, 5 parts in 4 vols.) contain the following treatises: Vol. I. De Calvinistarum et Catholicorum Prtedestinatione; De Deo et Autore Peccati: De Juistificatione, Justitia Bouorlum Operum, Auxiliis 3 Gratime Christi.

(B. P.) Becan, Wilhelm a Flemish theologian and poet, was born at Ypres in 1608. He was a Jesuit, and distinguished himself by his eloquence and poetry. He died at Louvain, Dec. 12, 1683.

Hoschius. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v. Becandella, Mary, a French martyr, was burned at Fontaine, France, in 1534, for finding fault with a sermon which a friar preached.

O’Donovan (Four Masters. i, 197) places his death at A.D. 557. Colgan (Acta SS. 713, c. 4, § 3) gives his genealogy from Colla-da-chrioch; but the ancient pedigree represents him as eighth from Niall of the Nine Hostages. Beccafumi, Domenico (called Micarino), an eminent Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, was born at Siena in 1484. He visited Rome and studied the works of Michael Angelo and. Raphael. He painted several pictures for the churches and cathedrals of Siena. He was living, according to Lanzi. in the year 1551. The following are some of his principal prints: The Nativity; St. Peter holding a Book and the Keys; St. Jerome kneeling before a Crucifix. Beccanceld, Council Of (Concilium Beccancel-dense), is the name of two provincial synods. I. Held in 692, by Wihtred, king of Kent, at Beccanceld, in Kent (probably Bapchild, near Sittingbourn). Besides the king, there were present Brihtwald, archbishop of Canterbury, Tobias of Rochester, and several abbots, abbesses, and “wise men.” The chief object of the council appears to have been to consult about the repairing of the churches in Kent, injured in the wars with the West Saxons. King Wihtred then, with his own mouth, renewed and confirmed the liberties and privileges and possessions of the Church in his kingdom; forbidding all future kings, and all aldermen and laymen forever, all dominion over the churches, and all things belonging to them. He further directed that, upon the death of any bishop, abbot, or abbess, the event should be immediately made known to the archbishop, 5 and a worthy successor be chosen with his consent. See Johnson, Eccles. Canons; Labbe, Concil. v, 1356. II. Held about 796, by Athelard, archbishop of Canterbury, in which the privileges granted to the churches by Wihtred and others were solemnly confirmed. This deed of confirmation is signed by the archbishop, twelve bishops, and twenty-three abbots. See Johnson, Eccles. Canons; Labbe, Concil. 7, 1148; Wilkin, Concil. 1, 162.

  • Saint Alexius
    Saint Alexius SAINT OF THE DAY 17-07-2021 Saint Alexius of Rome (4th-5th centuries) has been over the centuries a source of inspiration for men of letters and artists. Over time, various hagiographic versions of his figure have emerged, united by a fundamental trait: his renunciation of everything in order to follow God, obtaining the hundredfold promised by Jesus. His life is known through three traditions, one Syriac, one Greek and one Latin. The Syriac version, dating back to the end of the 5th century, is the oldest. It tells of a rich young man originally from Constantinople, the “New Rome”, who secretly boarded a ship the night before his wedding and reached Syria. That young man then continued on his way to Edessa (in what is now southern Turkey), a city with a large Christian community that for centuries guarded the Mandylion, a cloth bearing the Face of Jesus and identified by several scholars with the Shroud of Turin. There he lived begging for alms and in the evening he distributed to the poor what he had collected during the day, keeping for himself only the bare minimum to survive. Prayer and penance filled his days and because of his asceticism, the people called him Mar Riscia, that is “man of God”. After 17 years spent in Edessa, feeling close to the moment of death, he revealed that he belonged to a noble Roman family and had renounced marriage to consecrate himself to God. According to this ancient hagiography his death occurred while the Syrian writer Rabbula was Bishop of Edessa (c.

    RECENT PUBLICATIONS John Wilhelm Rowntree 1868-1905 and the beginnings of modern Quakerism. By Stephen Allott. Sessions Book Trust, York, 1994. Pp. xiv + 138. £7.00. Stephen Allott's concise and appealing account of John Wilhelm Rowntree makes very considerable use of quotations. It is well-illustrated. Rowntree was one of the most influential Friends of his day and made a great contribution to the Society despite his involvement in business, his chronic ill-health and his sadly early death at the age of 36. Allott provides a valuable addition to the studies of British Quakerism in the crucial period around the beginning of this century. It is timely background to the consideration of the impact of the Manchester conference of 1895. Rowntree will now be known to Friends not so much as a pioneer in writing Quaker history as for being part of it. He had hoped to make a major new historical study and gathered a collection of Quaker literature in preparation for this, later to pass to the Woodbrooke Library. His lectures on the rise of Quakerism in Yorkshire in his Essays and Addresses form his main published historical contribution. They went beyond narrative to exhortation and explained his vision for the Society of Friends. History for him was not a matter of satisfying academic curiosity but of tracing the evolution of contemporary Quakerism and explaining the relevance of the past to the questions of the day. The Rowntree series of Quaker histories built on his vision, effectively as his memorial. His deep friendship with Rufus Jones led to Jones's major contribution to the series alongside W.C.

Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

  • And Ninth-Century Rome: the Patrocinia of Diaconiae, Xenodochia, and Greek Monasteries*
    FOREIGN SAINTS AT HOME IN EIGHTH- AND NINTH-CENTURY ROME: THE PATROCINIA OF DIACONIAE, XENODOCHIA, AND GREEK MONASTERIES* Maya Maskarinec Rome, by the 9th century, housed well over a hundred churches, oratories, monasteries and other religious establishments.1 A substantial number of these intramural foundations were dedicated to “foreign” saints, that is, saints who were associated, by their liturgical commemoration, with locations outside Rome.2 Many of these foundations were linked to, or promoted by Rome’s immigrant population or travelers. Early medieval Rome continued to be well connected with the wider Mediterranean world; in particular, it boasted a lively Greek-speaking population.3 This paper investigates the correlation between “foreign” institutions and “foreign” cults in early medieval Rome, arguing that the cults of foreign saints served to differentiate these communities, marking them out as distinct units in Rome, while at the same time helping integrate them into Rome’s sacred topography.4 To do so, the paper first presents a brief overview of Rome’s religious institutions associated with eastern influence and foreigners. It * This article is based on research conducted for my doctoral dissertation (in progress) entitled “Building Rome Saint by Saint: Sanctity from Abroad at Home in the City (6th-9th century).” 1 An overview of the existing religious foundations in Rome is provided by the so-called “Catalogue of 807,” which I discuss below. For a recent overview, see Roberto Meneghini, Riccardo Santangeli Valenzani, and Elisabetta Bianchi, Roma nell'altomedioevo: topografia e urbanistica della città dal V al X secolo (Rome: Istituto poligrafico e zecca dello stato, 2004) (hereafter Meneghini, Santangeli Valenzani, and Bianchi, Roma nell'altomedioevo).

  • The Case of the French Clergy in the First World War
    LINGUA ROMANA VOL 13, ISSUE 1 ARTICLE War, Memory, and Politics: The Case of the French Clergy in the First World War Anita Marie Rasi May Independent Scholar SUMMARY This paper addresses the following question: How did the participation of Catholic priests in the trenches in World War I impact the political climate in postwar France? Using memoirs and archival material, this research builds on the work of other scholars to document how the shared experiences of war ultimately influenced national politics. I argue that shared memory was central to the shifting attitude toward the clergy after the war, and ultimately made it impossible to enforce the anticlerical laws of the 1880s.1 KEYWORDS: World War I, church-state relations, war and memory, soldier priests, military chaplains, veterans, stretcher-bearers, Teilhard de Chardin The onset of World War I was preceded by a decades-long effort by the Third Republic to restrict the influence of the clergy in French society and to promote a secularized civic life. Beginning in the 1880s and in reaction to the association of the Catholic Church and the monarchy, legislation prohibited the clergy and religious orders from teaching in schools and evicted clergy from monasteries and residences, thereby forcing the Catholic orders (Franciscans, Jesuits, and others) to leave France. Weddings and burials were legitimized through civil rather than religious ceremonies; prayers were prohibited at public functions; hospitals and cemeteries were laicized; and chaplains were eliminated in the army and the navy. All of these changes served to marginalize the clergy from everyday French life. A journalist writing in the Revue des Deux Mondes in 1892 summarized the impact.

  • Love Founded in God: the Fruits of Love in Kierkegaard's 'Works of Love'
    Page 1 of 10 Original Research Love founded in God: The fruits of love in Kierkegaard’s ‘Works of love’ Author: This article discussed the use of the Bible in ‘Love’s hidden life and its recognizability by Jos Huls1,2 its fruits’, which is the first reflection of Søren Kierkegaard’s book, Works of love. Firstly, this article discussed Kierkegaard’s lack of clarity about the fruits of love, even though he stresses Affiliations: 1Titus Brandsma Institute, their divine origin. Secondly, it reflected on his argument that, even though deeds are more Radboud Universiteit, important than words, words remain necessary because of the need to express love to others. The Netherlands In a following section he points out that neither specific words nor particular works of love can demonstrate that love exists. One needs to distinguish between works of love and the 2 Department of New attitude with which works are done. Thirdly, it pointed out how Kierkegaard argues that the Testament Studies, University of the Free inability to demonstrate love unconditionally does not negate that love is to be known by its State, South Africa fruits. It is rather a personal incitement to love for the sake of love itself. Noting that there is no direct relationship between the fruits of love and the actual effects our love has on others, Note: he points to the fact that the result of love is in the hands of God. He then argues that though Prof. Dr J. Huls is participating fruits of love may be invisible, they become apparent in the strength of our love.
