  • Spotlights Patrons from the Clergy
    Spotlight on the Middle Ages Patrons 2: clergy When manuscripts were custom made, patrons enjoyed adding their ownership marks, such as their image, coat of arms or motto. We continue our selection of manuscripts made for patrons, this time members of the clergy. Most books are currently available, though two have returned ‘home’. To serve God is to reign is the motto of cardinal Pierre of Foix (1386-1464), who played a decisive role in ending the Great Schism (1417). The Franciscan cardinal had a taste for expensive books and acquired many manuscripts from the papal library in Avignon. This Gospel Lectionary made for Franciscan use in Avignon, c. 1325-1350, came into Pierre de Foix’s hands in the 15th century when his motto was added. 345 x 235 mm, 172 leaves, 82 pages with ‘puzzle’ initials Breviary made for Hermann von Hessen, archbishop of Cologne (d. 1508) Elected archbishop of Cologne in 1480, Hermann received the pallium in 1481 and was invested with the regalia by the emperor in 1485. His solemn entry in Cologne was postponed until 1488, his breviary dates therefore c. 1480-1488. The manuscript returns to Cologne as it was recently acquired by the Historisches Archiv Köln. The bishop’s special devotion to St. Elisabeth is the better explained by the fact she was the ‘Stammmutter’ of the counts of Hesse. Breviary, 182 x 132 mm, 261 leaves, 11 large painted initials on gold, 9 of which historiated. “Wolt ihr zum Bisschof von Köln gehen, so sehet, wo die Armen stehen” points at Hermann’s works of mercy and his generous support of the poor.

ROAD TO EMMAUS: Popadia Margaret, can you give us an overview of the conversion of Switzerland to Christianity? PDA. MARGARET: We know that after the prehistoric period, parts of Switzerland and western Europe were occupied by Celtic peoples, and in 15 BC this territory became part of the Roman Empire after a massive military campaign that entered the region over the Alpine passes from Italy. After arriving on the Swiss Plateau, the Romans continued northward, con- quering territory to the Danube, including most of present-day Switzerland and into Germany.1 As everywhere, the Romans built their famous roads, towns, and military outposts, as well as bringing in army veterans as settlers, which made it easier for merchants and civil officials to follow them into new areas.

  • Thomas Maissen DIE STADTPATRONE FELIX UND
    Thomas Maissen DIE STADTPATRONE FELIX UND REGULA Das Fortleben einer Thebäerlegende im reformierten Zürich Die Legende der Zürcher Stadtpatrone Felix und Regula geht auf die Karolingerzeit zurück . Das Geschwisterpaar habe der Thebäischen Legion angehört, sei jedoch dem Schicksal der bei St. Mauric e hingerichteten Gefährten entgangen und nach Zürich geflohen. Dort hätten Felix und Regula die neue Lehre verkündet, worauf sie durch den römischen Vogt Decius im Jahr 303 verhaftet und nach furchtbaren Martern enthauptet worden seien. Doch die beiden hätten sich nach der Hinri chtung erhoben, ihre an der Seite liegenden Häupter aufgenommen und diese dahin getragen, wo sie begraben sein wollten. Über diesem ihrem Grab erhebt sich im 9. Jahrhundert ein Chorh erren stift , das Großmünster, das angeblich von Karl dem Großen gestiftet wurde. Im 13. Jahrhundert, seit 1225, gesellt die lokal-bürgerliche Überlieferung noch einen dritten Heiligen namen s Exuperantius zu Felix und Regula hinzu. Schon früh, im 12. Jahrhundert, entstehen die ersten erhaltenen Bilder der Zür­ cher Stadtpatrone'. Zwischen 1497 und 1502 bekommt die Zwölfbotenkapelle in der Zürcher Hauptkirche, eben das Großmünster, als Gemeinschaftsdonation der stadt Zürich Conterfey, Es ist ein Bild des lokalen Künstlers Hans Leu d. Ä., das im Vordergrund die Hinrichtung der beiden Stadtpatrone zeigt, dahinter eine An­ sicht der Stadt. Das Gemälde wurde im Bildersturm der Reformation gerettet und die HeiligendarsteIlung später, 1566-1576, überm alt; so ist es erhalten geblieben. Doch bereit s zu Beginn des Zürcher Bildersturm s, der vom 7. September 1523 bis zum 20. Juni 1524 dauert , wird Aspers Gemälde mit einem scharfen Gegenstand zerkratzt (Abb. I). Es handelt sich wohl um die unautorisierte Tat eines Einzelnen, getragen von der reformatorischen Botschaft, die Mittlerfiguren zu Gott ablehnt.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • Zurich's Coins – a Short History Through Time
    Zurich's Coins – a Short History through Time By Calista Fischer, © MoneyMuseum (Translated by Graham Pascoe) From the Ladies' convent Fraumünster in the Middle Ages to the introduction of the Swiss franc in the 19th century, many important steps may be observed. The coins of the free city of Zurich bear witness of that fact: they document trade and commerce in Europe of the past 1200 years. 1 von 31 www.sunflower.ch Paradeplatz Zurich – Switzerland's international metropolis of finance and trade, where countless banks have their headquarters. Billions of Swiss francs are traded at the stock exchange every day and business people from all over the world are busily crossing paths. Switzerland is cosmopolitan in Zurich where sciences and politics are also actively pursued. If you're lucky you will even meet Nobel prizewinners and federal councilors on the street. Zurich is also a cultural city, offering a wide range of events at the stately Opera House right down to the tiniest alternative armchair theatre. In short: there's a buzz to Zurich. Or as they say in French: "Zurich, c'est une grande ville dans un mouchoir" (Zurich is a big city in a handkerchief). How did the town on the Limmat River get its reputation? Was it for its central location on the blue lake or for the fresh air? Find out here how Zurich became what it is today. 2 von 31 www.sunflower.ch Regensburg – Turegum/Zurich July 21, 853 AD. The weather was oppressively hot. Everything seemed quiet in the East Frankish Empire.

  • Schatkin C.V
    Margaret A. Schatkin Area of Expertise: Patrology/Patristics December 2010 Margaret Schatkin Page 2 Curriculum Vitae Date of birth: April 29, 1944 Educational Biography: I entered Fordham University in 1964 and commenced the study of patristics under the tutelage of the distinguished scholars, Rudolph Arbesmann, O.S.A., and Herbert A. Musurillo, S.J., who were members of the faculty of the Classics Department. I confess that at the outset my knowledge of the Church Fathers was limited, if not perfunctory. However, with continued application and immersion in the subject the conviction grew upon me of the untapped wealth in the writings of the Church Fathers. I was further encouraged to continue that study in the years that I attended Princeton Theological Seminary by the distinguished Russian theologian, Georges Florovsky, who advocated revival of the Church Fathers as a guide to modern Christianity. Also on the faculty of Princeton was the prestigious New Testament scholar, Bruce M. Metzger, who also encouraged me in the study of the early church. In my study of the Church Fathers it is of course implicit that I examine the writings of the Church Fathers in the original Greek and Latin languages and manuscripts. In the present state of world turmoil it is my judgment that only benefit to the world can result from a study of the writings of the Church Fathers, the greatness of whose minds is reflected in those writings.

  • The Republican Alternative the Netherlands and Switzerland Compared
    A THE REPUBLICAN The Netherlands and Switzerland are among the world’s most successful ndré societies. Their inhabitants enjoy high standards of living and express great satisfaction with their lives according to surveys. This despite serious natural H handicaps, such as a lack of raw materials and an abundance of water and Maarten Thomas Maissen, olenstein, rock respectively. The foundation for their prosperity was laid in the early modern period, between roughly and , when, as federal republics, the two countries were already something of an anomaly in Europe. Their inhabitants experienced serious anxieties and tried to justify their exceptionality, to which they were, at the same time, greatly attached. The Republican Alternative attempts through a sustained comparison, to highlight the special character of the two countries, which were similar perhaps at first sight, but nonetheless developed their own solutions to the challenges they faced. The book includes in-depth discussions of citizenship arrangements, Swiss and Dutch dealings with religious pluriformity, political discourses justifying the republican form of government, and the A advantages and disadvantages of an agrarian over a commercial society.
