Steadfast and Shrewd Heroines: the Defence of Chastity in the Latin Post-Nicene Passions and the Greek Novels
Steadfast and shrewd heroines: the defence of chastity in the Latin post-Nicene passions and the Greek novels ANNELIES BOSSU Ghent University 1. Introduction Over the past decades, the disparaging opinion of the Greek ‘ideal’ novels which goes back to at least Rohde’s pioneer modern study of 18761 has been abandoned: they are no longer viewed as literary inferior texts. Together with this renewed and favourable attention, research into the novels’ inter- connections with other ancient narrative texts increased. Unsurprisingly, the interplay with the Roman novel was explored. It has been argued that Petro- nius parodied the Greek novels2 and attention has been drawn to thematic and structural correspondences between the Greek novels and both Apuleius’ Metamorphoses3 and the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri.4 Whereas the Chris- tian overtone in the latter work is debated,5 the novels’ interaction with ————— 1 Rohde 1876. 2 This thesis was first raised by Heinze in 1899 and has received wide acceptance since, see e.g. Conte 1996, esp. 31-34 on his adaptation of Heinze’s thesis. For objections against the thesis, see Morgan 2009, 40-47. 3 See e.g. the contributions of Brethes, Frangoulidis, Harrison, and Smith to Paschalis, Frangoulidis, Harrison, Zimmerman 2007. 4 See Schmeling 20032, 540-544 on both similarities and dissimilarities between the Histo- ria Apollonii (HA) and the Greek novels, especially Xenophon of Ephesus’ Ephesiaca. 5 On the HA as a Christian product, see Kortekaas 1984, 101-106, 116-118, and 2004, 17- 24, and Hexter 1988, 188. For objections against the Christian overtone, see Schmeling 20032, 531-537. -

Foxe's Book of Martyrs
FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith. -

The Vigils of Medieval Tuscany
Plainsong and Medieval Music, 17, 1, 23–54 © 2008 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0961137108000764 Printed in the United Kingdom The vigils of medieval Tuscany BENJAMIN BRAND* ABSTRACT. Of the liturgical ceremonies enacted by the papal court in the Middle Ages, few were as distinctive as the ‘double offices’ that occurred on nights before high feasts of the Sanctorale. These consisted of two night offices, a private ‘vigil’ enacted by the pope and his entourage at dusk and a public office at the normal hour of Matins. Even as this custom flourished in Rome through the twelfth century, it concomitantly migrated north to cathedrals throughout Tuscany. Typically comprising only one nocturn, the Tuscan vigils shed their once private character, presenting a selection of the plainsong and lessons of the night office at a convenient hour for the laity. They likewise acquired distinctively civic overtones as cathedral clerics employed them in honour of local patron saints. Nowhere was this transformation more evident than in Florence and Lucca, where the vigils of Sts Zenobius and Reparata, Regulus and Martin emerged as eminently public spectacles. In this way, Tuscan clerics transformed a venerable Roman tradition into an emblem of civic as well as ecclesiastical prestige. Of the eight canonical hours celebrated daily at religious houses throughout medieval Christendom, none were longer or more complex than Matins. This so-called ‘night office’ began in the early hours of the morning with the recitation of two short versicles with their responses. Then followed a hymn, which was either proper to the feast or season, or part of a fixed cycle for specific days of the week throughout the year. -

INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST St. Mary’s Oratory SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Introit: Ps. 27, 8, 9. The Lord is the strength of His people, and the protector of the salvation of His anointed: save, O Lord, Thy people, and bless Thy inheritance, and rule them for ever. Ps. 27, 1. Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not Thou silent to me, lest if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. V. Glory. Collect: O God of virtues, to Whom belongeth every excellent thing, implant in our hearts Sunday, the love of Thy name, and bestow upon us the increase of religion, fostering what things are good, July 4, and, by Thy loving care, guarding what Thou hast fostered. Through our Lord. 2021 Epistle: Romans 6, 3-11. Brethren, all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in His death. For we are buried together with Him by baptism unto death; that as Christ is risen from to the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection. Sunday, Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, and July 11, that we may serve sin no longer. For He that is dead is justified from sin. Now if we be dead with 2021 Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ. -
Roman Martyrology by Month
www.boston-catholic-journal.com Roman Martyrology by Month 1916 Edition January February March April May June July August September October November December The following is the complete text of the Roman Martyrology circa 1900 A.D. Many more Saints and Martyrs have since been entered into this calendar commemorating the heroic faith, the holy deeds, the exemplary lives, and in many cases the glorious deaths of these Milites Christi, or Soldiers of Christ, who gave 1 every fiber of their being to God for His glory, for the sanctification of His Holy Catholic Church, for the conversion of sinners both at home and in partibus infidelium 1, for the salvation of souls, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as He had last commanded His holy Apostles: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis.” “Going therefore, teach all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (St. Matthew 28.19-20) While the Martyrology presented is complete, it nevertheless does not present us with great detail concerning the lives of those whose names are forever indited within it, still less the complete circumstances surrounding and leading up to their martyrdom. For greater detail of their lives, the sources now available on the Internet are extensive and we encourage you to explore them.2 As it stands, the Martyrology is eminently suited to a brief daily reflection that will inspire us to greater fervor, even to imitate these conspicuously holy men and women in whatever measure our own state in life affords us through the grace and providence of Almighty God. -

It is with pleasure, therefore, that I am able to announce the fulfillment of these desires. The Breviary, translated by Father Aquinas Byrnes, O.P., is now in the process of publication at Rome, while the translation of the Dominican Martyrology has just completed. The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately. -

San Giovanni in Fonte
San Giovanni in Fonte San Giovanni in Fonte (also known as the Lateran Baptistery) is an early Christian baptistery located next to St. John Lateran and the Lateran Palace in Rome. In the early Church, baptism was usually given by the bishops in an annual ceremony during the Easter Vigil. In Rome, this was done in the baptistery of this church, which was dedicated to St John the Baptist. This was the first structure built for this specific purpose in Rome. In the first centuries of Christianity, those being received into the Church were baptized by triple immersion, in honor of the Blessed Trinity, in the pool in the Baptistery. Also known as San Giovanni in Fonte. [B2] [Bd] History The construction is thought to have taken place after that of the basilica, between 320 and 330. A mediaeval legend, narrated in the Liber Pontificalis, claimed that the emperor Constantine was baptized here by Pope Sylvester. This is not true; the Church historian Eusebius wrote that Constantine was baptized on his deathbed at Nicomedia near Constantinople by his namesake Eusebius of Nicomedia. [B1] The foundation of the present baptistery has been argued over by scholars to the present day. Archaeologists working from 1925 to 1929 found that the octagonal walls stand on a circular foundation plinth. The latest consensus is that the present octagonal structure is Constantinian and that Pope Sixtus only altered the interior arrangements as part of a major refit that also involved the side-chapels added by his successors. [B1] Emperor Constantine had installed a porphyry font with seven silver deer pouring water out of their mouths, also an image of the Lamb of God in gold and images of Christ and St John the Baptist in silver.
