Tanchelm (TANCHELIN, TANQUELIN), a fanatic who lived in the 11th century, and was identified with the opposition current in that age against the ecclesiasticism then prevailing. We are told that he despised the Church and the clergy, from the pope downward, and claimed that the true Church inhered in him and his followers; that the priestly station has no influence upon the sacrament of the eucharist, worth and sanctity being the only efficient qualifications of the minister. He declared himself to be possessed of the Holy Ghost, and even to be God, as Christ is God; and he affianced himself with the Virgin Mary, whose image he presented to the vision of the assembled multitude, demanding sponsalia, which were readily contributed. Water in which he had bathed was distributed for drinking purposes, with the assurance that its use formed a sacred and powerful sacrament to the good of the body as well as the soul. Tanchelm’s followers were chiefly drawn from the lower classes of society, and were mostly women. His operations were carried on along the coast of the Netherlands, and particularly in Utrecht, where disturbances were occasioned which called forth the successful interference of archbishop Frederick of Cologne. Tanchelm then removed to Bruges and Antwerp, where he caused still greater tumults than at Utrecht, and was killed on shipboard by a priest in A.D. 1124 or-1125. His sect continued to exist somewhat longer, but was ultimately scattered or reclaimed to the Church. See Hahn, Gesch. d. Ketzer in Mittelalter (Stuttg. 1845), 1, 459 sq.; Okken, Diss. de Priva Rel.

Tanchum (OF JERUSALEM) BEN-JOSEF, also called “R. Tanchum Jerushalmi” of Haleb, flourished about A.D. 1265-80. The first who made Tanchum’s name known to the learned world was the famous scholar Schnurrer, who in 1791 published ch. 1-12 of Tanchum’s Arabic commentary on Judges: R. Tanchumi Hierosolymitani ad Libros V. T. Commentarii Arabici Specimen una cum Annotationibus ad aliquot Loca Libri Judicum (Tübingen, 1791). Since that time his exegetical works have been brought to light, though nothing of his life is known except that he must have lived shortly after the devastation of Palestine by the Mongolians, A.D. 1260. He wrote a commentary in Arabic on the whole Old Test., entitled ˆaybla batk, i.e. The Book of Exposition, of which the following are still extant in MS. at the Bodleian Library: a. the commentary on the earlier prophets, i.e. Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings (Cod. Pocock 314); b. commentaries on Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the minor prophets (Cod. Pocock 344); c. commentaries on the five Megilloth (i.e. Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations. Ecclesiastes, and Esther) and Daniel (Cod. Pocock 320); d. twrfphla jrçla batk, i.e. The Haphtaroth, or Lessons from the Prophets, translated into Arabic (Cod. Hunt. 607). These commentaries are preceded by elaborate introductions treating on the general import of Holy Writ. Besides the commentary on Lamentations, ˆaybla batk ˆm twnyq rps jrç, which has been edited by W. Cureton, Tanchumi Hierosolymitani Comm. Arabicus in Lamentationes e Codice unico Bodleiano Literis Hebraicis exarato. Descripsit Charactere Arabico et edidit (Lond. 1843), the following portions have been published: 1. Commentary on Joshua, edited by Haarbrücker, in the Wissenschtciliche Blatter aus der Veitel-Heine-Ephraim’schen Lehranstalt (Berlin, 1862); 2. on Judges, in part by Schnurrer, ch. 1-12, and ch. 13-21 by Haarbrucker (Halle, 1847); 3. on Samuel and Kings, by Haarbrücker (Leipsic, 1844); 4. on Habakkuk, with a French translation by Dr. Munk (Paris, 1843, in Cahen’s Bible, vol. 13). “R. Tanchum’s contributions to Biblical exegesis,” says Dr. Ginsburg, “are very important to its history. His commentaries are based upon the literal and grammatical meaning of the text. He frequently avails himself of the labors of Hai Gaon, Danash ibn-Librat, Ibn-Chajug, 4 Ibn-Ganach, Ibn-Ezra, Maimonides, etc.; rejects the traditional interpretations (comp. comm. on <071207>Judges 12:7; 20:28); transposes sundry portions of the sacred narratives, so as to point out their chronological order (comp. <071801>Judges 18:1; 20:28), and, like Maimonides, distinguishes different degrees and kinds of prophecy (comp. <070634>Judges 6:34; 13:1; 20:28).” He also wrote an Arabic Lexicon to the Mishna, entitled ypakla dçrmla, i.e. A Sufficient Guide, treating on the relation of the language of the Mishna and of Maimonides ald ha-Chazaka. There are four different MSS. of this work in the Bodleian Library, viz. Cod. Pocock 297, written by Saadia ben-Jacob in 1388; Cod. Hunt. 129, by Saadia ben-David in 1451; Cod. Hunt. 621, by Solomo ben-David ben- Binjamin in 1393; and Cod. Pocock 215. 216, 229, written in 1449. He also wrote a Grammar of the Old Test. Hebrew, quoted by Tanchum himself, but which has not yet come to light. See De Rossi, Dizionario Storico (Germ. transl.), p. 145 sq.; Kitto, Cyclop. s.v.; Furst, Bibl.

Tancred, Christopher an English benefactor, was the son of Sir Richard Tancred, and died unmarried in 1754, leaving his house and estate at Whixley for the maintenance of twelve decayed gentlemen who had borne arms in the 5 service of their country. He also founded four medial exhibitions at Caius College; four in divinity at Christ’s College, Cambridge; and four law studentships at Lincoln’s Inn. Tancred of Bologna was a most celebrated canonist of the 13th century (who must not be confounded with another Tancred of Corneto; comp. De Savigny, Gesch. d. rom. Rechts im Mittelalter [2d ed.], 5, 135, and p. 115, 116). His preceptors were Azo in Roman and Laurentius in canon law. In 1210 he was himself a teacher (decretorum magister) at Bologna, and entrusted with the management of important affairs by both the pope and the city. He belonged to the Chapter of Bologna, and in 1226 was made archdeacon by Hoiorius III, which position then included among its duties the supervision of promotions in the university. The year of his decease is not known, but it must have been prior to 1236 as the archdeaconate is then found to be in other hands (see Sarti, De Claris Archigynynasii Bononiens. Professoribus, pars 2, fol. 28, 29, 36, 37, 181). His literary remains include a Summa de Matrimonio, written between 1210 and 1213; first published, with numerous interpolations, by Simon Schard (Cologne, 1563), and again, in revised form, by Wunderlich (Göttingen, 1841): — an OrdoJudiciarius (OrdinariusTancredi), written about 1214, and afterwards revised in 1225. 1234, and often by unknown scholars. It was formerly believed that this work originated in about 1227, but the earlier date is now accepted. An edition of the work in its original form was issued by Bergmann (ibid. 1842). Tancred’s lectures at Bologna were, among other matters, upon the collections of decretals received into the curriculum of Bologna after the close of Gratian’s collection, and resulted in Apparatus, or commentaries, on the first three compilations. He had no part, however, in the preparation of the fifth ancient compilation. In addition to the above, there is extant of Tancred’s works a manuscript list of bishoprics throughout the Church, arranged in the order of provinces (De Savigny, ut sup. p. 117, 118). See Herzog, Real-Encyklop. s.v. Tailred of Sicily the son of Eudes, a Norman baron, and of Emma, the sister of Robert Guiscard, was one of the celebrated heroes of the first Crusade, and was born after the middle of the 11th century. Some chroniclers profess to detail the events of his early life, describing him as the most accomplished 6 youth of his time in athletic and military exercises, and of a wisdom far surpassing that of men of mature years, and as a partisan of his cousin Bohemond in the quarrel with their uncle Roger of Sicily.

AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Astruc, Jean an eminent French physician, was born at Sauve, in Languedoc, March 19, 1684. His father was a Protestant minister, who, on the revocation of the edict of Nantes, became a Roman Catholic. The son studied in the University of Montpellier, and became M.D. in 1703. In 1710 he was made professor of anatomy and medicine in Toulouse; and he was called to Montpellier in 1715, where he remained until 1728. In 1731 he was appointed professor of medicine in the College of France, and he remained in Paris until his death, May 5, 1766. In his profession Astruc was very eminent as teacher, practitioner, and writer; but he is entitled to a place here from a work published in 1753, entitled Conjectures sur les Memoires originaux dont il parait que Moise s’est servi pour conmposer le livre da la Genese (Bruxelles and Paris, 1753, 12mo), in which he started for the first time the theory now so prevalent, that the fact that Moses compiled Genesis, in part at least, from pre-existing documents, is shown by the distinction in the use of the two names Elohim and Jehovah in the different parts of the book.

The second of these is partly historical and partly prophetical, and belongs to the period of the captivity. The first is a monograph, standing by itself, and referring to a singular instance of the protection vouchsafed by Divine Providence to the Jews of the dispersion under the Persian Empire. The other three form really and designedly a continuous history from the beginning of time, and more fully from the accession of David to the adminis­ tration of N ehcmiah. The books of Chronicles are the only proper antecedent to the history of the times after the captivity.

  • Fashioning Change Discovers a Late Medieval World in Which Garments Could Express Fortune's Instability, Aesthetic Turmoil
    “Fashioning Change discovers a late medieval world in which garments could express fortune’s instability, aesthetic turmoil, and spiritual crisis. Fashion was good to think. In lucid and compelling detail, Andrea Denny-Brown reveals just how and why the dress of ecclesiastics, dandies, wives, and kings figured mutability as an inescapable worldly condition.” —Susan Crane, professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University, and author of The Performance of Self: Ritual, Clothing, and Identity during the Hundred Years War “Fashioning Change is one of the most original and inventive studies of medieval cul- ture I have read. It is a book about the experience of social desire, the nature of civi- lized life, the relationships of craft and culture, and the aesthetics of performance. More than just a book about fashion, it is about fashioning: the self, society, and poetry. It is, therefore, a study of how medieval writers fashioned themselves and their worlds through an attentive encounter with the arts of bodily adornment. Engagingly written and scrupulously researched, Fashioning Change will be a signal contribution to the field of medieval studies.” —Seth Lerer, Dean of Arts and Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Literature at the University of California at San Diego “It is rare to find a book that casts its nets widely while meticulously analyzing the texts it discusses. This book does both. Denny-Brown provides insight into philosophical texts, cultural symbolics in textual and visual art, religious and theological texts and practices, Middle English poetry, and national identity, which taken together makes the book an invaluable index to medieval—not just Middle English—notions about fash- ion, philosophical approaches to change, gender dynamics, and aesthetics.” —Maura Nolan, University of California, Berkeley “Denny-Brown draws on texts of many genres as well as historical information to show that fashion—and the promise of fortune that accompanied it—had great appeal for men and women in the Middle Ages.

  • Gill's Exposition
    2 NEHEMIAH INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH This book is, by the authors of the Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions, called the “Second” Book of Ezra, it being a continuation of the same history, and was by the Jews reckoned as one book with Ezra; Kimchi on (<230907>Isaiah 9:7), calls it Ezra, so the Talmud f1; and it has been quoted by Christian writers under his name; see the argument of the book of Ezra; but not as if it was written by him; for it is a clear case it was written by Nehemiah, whose name it bears, as appears from (<160101>Nehemiah 1:1) and throughout Nehemiah speaks of himself under the first person; and the style also is very different from that of Ezra, being plainer and easier than his. It has always had a place in the canon of Scriptures, both with Jews and Christians; and is of use to show the fulfilment of the prophecy of Zechariah, and especially of Daniel concerning the building of the wall of Jerusalem in troublesome times; to carry on the history of the Jews, and describe the state of the church in those times, what opposition was made to it, and what enemies it had, and what must be expected when any work of God is set about; it is the last of the historical books that was written, as is thought, and contains an history of the space of about twelve years, from the twentieth of Artaxerxes to the thirty second of his reign, (see <160101>Nehemiah 1:1 2:1 13:6).

  • Fryer, a C, Monumental Effigies in Somerset. Part VI, Part II, Volume 66
    Monumental (JEffigies in Somerset* Part vi. thirteenth and fourteenth century ecclesiastics. BY ALFRED C. FRYER, PH.D., F.S.A. SOME attention was devoted to the school of sculpture made from Bath freestone in our last paper on " Monu- 1 mental Effigies in Somerset," and had the earlier effigies in the Abbey Church of SS. Peter and Paul at Bath come down to our time we should have had, probably, a large number to record made from the great oolite ; and now alas ! the only ecclesias- tical effigy is to a priest at Englishcombe, which has been turned out of the church and lies in the churchyard in a ruinous condition. Five effigies to " Priests " are sculptured from blocks of Ham Hill stone. The one at Brympton d'Evercy is fourteenth century work, but the head, face, feet and hands holding a large chalice are all comparatively recent restorations and have, therefore, changed the original appearance of the figure seriously. The effigy at Trent has been sadly mutilated and the one at Middle Chinnock consists only of shoulders and head. Both these date from the later years of the thirteenth century. In the south wall of the south transept of the beautiful church of Stoke-sub-Hamdon is the original recess with its eight elegant cuspings, under which lies the well executed effigy of a priest whose chasuble shows broad silk folds with spreading drop and overlapping edges. There seems little doubt that this effigy is to Reginald de Moncketon, 1. Proc. Som* Arch. Soc, LXV, ii, 28. - Monumental Effigies in Somerset.
