Historical Notices of St. Anthony's Monastery
la^A^' HISTORICAL NOTICES ST, ANTHONY'S MONASTERY, LEITH REHEARSAL OF EVENTS Which occurred in the North of Scotland from 1635 to 1645 in relation to the National Covenant. Edited from A Contemporary MS. REV. CHARLES ROGERS LL.D Historiographer to the Royal Historical Society ; Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries ofScotland ; Fellow ofthe Royal Society ofNorthern Antiquaries, Copenhagen ; Member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania ; Member of the Historical Society of Quebec ; and Corresponding Member of the Historical and Genealogical Society of New England. LONDON PRINTED FOR THE GRAMPIAN CLUB 1877 fiiSTORicAL Notices, Sjc, The patriarch of monks, St. Anthony, is one of the most notable saints in the Romish calendar. He was born A.D. 251, at Coma, or Great Heracleopolis, in Upper Egypt. His parents, who were Christians, kept him at home, fearing that through bad example his manners might be tainted. When he was under twenty his parents died, leaving him and an only sister, as their inheritance, an estate, in extent equal to a hundred and twenty British acres.* Imperfectly instructed in sacred knowledge, Anthony was influenced by a strong religious enthusiasm. Inducing his sister to concur with him, he disposed of their inheritance, in the belief that he was thereby fulfilling the divine command. The money which he received for his land he distributed among the poor, and adopted the life of an ascetic. He did not eat before sunset, and often fasted for two and three days together. He subsisted on bread; salt and water, abstained from washing his body, and clothed himself in a coarse shirt of hair. -

In Scotland: the Philosophy of the ‘Aberdeen Doctors’, C
chapter 6 Reformed Scholasticism, Proto-Empiricism and the Intellectual ‘Long Reformation’ in Scotland: The Philosophy of the ‘Aberdeen Doctors’, c. 1619–c. 1641* Steven J. Reid Who were the ‘Aberdeen Doctors’, and what did they think? The first part of this question is easier to answer than the second.1 The ‘Doctors’ were a group of academics and ministers affiliated with King’s and Marischal College in the two decades following the accession of Bishop Patrick Forbes of Corse in 1619. They are best known for the series of tracts and pamphlets they exchanged in the summer of 1638 with the Covenanting ministers Alexander Henderson, David Dickson, and Andrew Cant, which denounced the National Covenant as seditious and theologically unsound.2 However, their attempts to sway national * This paper was drafted as part of the Leverhulme-funded International Network Project ‘Scottish philosophers in seventeenth-century Scotland and France’, which was active from 2010 to 2014. I am grateful to the Leverhulme Trust for facilitating this work. 1 The only full-length study of the Doctors remains Donald MacMillan’s The Aberdeen Doctors: a Notable Group of Scottish Theologians of the First Episcopal Period, 1610–1638, and the Bearing of their Teaching on Some Questions of the Present Time (London, 1909), which is extremely out- dated and should be used with caution. However, for an excellent survey of their views on Re- formed doctrine, see Aaron Clay Denlinger, ‘“Men of Gallio’s Naughty Faith?”: The Aberdeen Doctors on Reformed and Lutheran Concord’, Church History and Religious Culture, 92:1 (2012), pp. -

In the publication of the Morayshire Register and Elgin AND Forres Directory, I would respectfully solicit the in- dulgence of the Public in any omissions which, notwithstanding the greatest care, may have inadvertently occurred inafirst num- ber. I trust that, whatever may be its faults, I have succeeded in bringing before the public much useful and interesting infor- mation regarding the institutions of the county and burghs, and, in particular, in giving a distinct and concise account of the various charitable mortifications vested in the Kirk-session of Elgin, and Magistrates and other public bodies of Elgin and Forres. The streets and courts of the towns, in several instances, not being properly named, and the houses not numbered, ren- der the Directory not so complete as it , would otherwise have been ; but I trust that this deficiency will be supplied before another season. I would, in conclusion, take this opportunity of tendering my warmest thanks to the public officers of the county and burghs for the ready access to the records they on all occasions afforded me, and to the public generally for the large measure of support which has already been bestowed on my humble exertions.

Matthew Simpson Phd Thesis
ST ANDREWS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY : SCOTTISH EDUCATION AND PRINT-CULTURE Matthew Simpson A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 1999 Full metadata for this item is available in Research@StAndrews:FullText at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/1848 This item is protected by original copyright St Andrews University Library in the Eighteenth Century: Scottish education and print-culture Matthew Simpson Ph.D thesis: University of St Andrews, June, 1999 11 The context of this thesis is the growth in size and significance of the St Andrews University Library, made possible by the University's entitlement, under the Copyright Acts between 1709 and 1836, to free copies of new publications. Chapter I shows how the University used its improving Library to present to clients and visitors an image of the University's social and intellectual ideology. Both medium and message in this case told of a migration into the printed book of the University's functions, intellectual, spiritual, and moral, a migration which was going forward likewise in the other Scottish universities and in Scottish culture at large. Chapters II and III chart that migration respectively in religious discourse and in moral education. This growing importance of the book prompted some Scottish professors to devise agencies other than consumer demand to control what was read in their universities and beyond, and indeed what was printed. Chapter IV reviews those devices, one of which was the subject Rhetoric, now being reformed to bring modern literature into its discipline. -

THE PATRON, JOHN ARCHIBALD DUNBAR DUNBAR, Esq., TOUNGER OF SEAPARK, THE DIRECTORS, AND MEMBERS FORRES MECHANICS' INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. PREFACE The following chapters originated in a series of popular Lectures prepared at the request of the Mechanics' Institute of Forres, and delivered in that town, and in Nairn, Inverness, Invergordon, and Elgin. There was no intention of giving them, either a wider pub- licity, or a more permanent form; but the audiences in the several places having expressed a wish to see my manuscript in print—probably because they felt that the ear required the aid of the eye in following the details of the narrative, — it is now published. The sketch has grown somewhat in the reproduction, but the demands of a laborious pastorate have for- bidden any attempt to recast it in a more strictly his- toric form, or to bestow upon it a treatment worthier of the subject. Whatever its imperfections, I trust that, at the least, the men of Moray and Eoss Avill recognise it as a well-meaning, if feeble, attempt to keep alive the memory of men and of deeds that ought not to be forgotten by us. -

To date, however, an in-depth analysis of the evolution of Scottish apocalyptic belief during the seventeenth century has never been undertaken. This thesis utilizes a wide variety of source material to demonstrate the existence of a cohesive, persistent, and largely conservative tradition of apocalyptic thought in Scotland that spanned the years 1588 to 1688. Chapter One examines several influential commentaries on the Book of Revelation published by notable Scots during the decades either side of the Union of Crowns. These works reveal many of the principal characteristics that formed the basis of the Scottish apocalyptic tradition. -

First and foremost, my supervisor, Brian P. Levack, has at once been an academic mentor and a dear friend. His enthusiasm for this dissertation, the remarkable amount of time he spent reading and discussing my work, and his unyielding confidence in me have been invaluable. If I have any skill as a historian, it is a product of his kind criticism and scholarly example. Neil Kamil and Julie Hardwick, from whom I took some of the most influential and enjoyable courses of my graduate career, have been instrumental in informing my ability to think critically about both primary sources and historiography. They have both also been wonderful sources of career advice and moral support over the last few years. -
