    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.
