Amoxgst the scanty documents illustrative of the early history of Scotland which have reached us, a distinguished rank is to be assigned to the Chronicle of Melrose. The Chronicon Sanctae Crucis, which alone can compcte with it in antiquity, is inferior in detail as well as in extent; and its age gives it an undisputed advantage over the writings of Fordun, Wyntoun, Barbour, and Bower. The era, as well as the locahty, of its composition places it above the chronicles of Hemingford, Gray, and that of the monks of Lanercost, how vahiable soever these annals may be in the illustration of the later periods of our history. It is to the pages of this chronicle alone that we must advert for the general history of Scotland during several reigns, as narrated by Scotch- men ; and, excepting the brief notices of the Chronicle of Holy- rood, we have no other contemporaneous annalist until we arrive at Barbour and Fordun, both of whom wrote about a cen- tury after the abrupt termination of the Chronicle of Meh-ose. The present edition, hke the former, is founded solely upon the authority of the Cottonian manuscript, Faustina, B. ix. It is a question of extreme importance whether that manuscript be au unique copy, or whether the text which it supphes might not be corrected or augmented by other manuscripts of equal value. As far as the researches of the Editor enable him to judge, he is decidedly of opinioa that no other early copy has been pre- 00 ii PREFACE. served. There is none in the British Museum, nor is any indi- cated in the extensive Catalogus Manuscriptorum Anghse et Hi- bernise, nor in the more recent hsts of the Hbraries at Lambeth, Stow, or Durham, or in the general catalogues of manuscripts compiled by Montfaucon and Haenel. And yet, on the other hand, the writers at the end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth century, would induce us to suppose that manu- scripts existed in Scotland which exhibited considerable and important variations from the text pubhshed by Gale and Fell from the Cottonian copy. It is asserted by Sir George Mac- kenzie,* that "certainly that Enghsh manuscript is very unfaith- ful, for most of the things relating to our nation are omitted, as particularly about the beginniag, in the year 844. Our manu- script observes (which the Enghsh has not), that Alpin king of the Scots died, to whom succeeded liis son Kenneth, who beat the Picts and was declared first king of all Scotland, to the water of Tine; and after it expresses in his epitaph. Primus in Albania fertur regnasse Kenedhus, Filius Alpini, proelia multa gerens.f And it ob.serves that he was called the first king of Albany, not because he was the first wlio made the Scottish laws, but be- cause he was the first king of all Scotland." In a subsequent page of the same work, he says, " I reflect not on the publish- ers of the manuscript of the abbacy of Meh-os, printed at Ox- ford, for I honour every thing that comes from that learned society in a special manner; but it is no reflection on them to say that we have another much fuller in what makes for Scot- * Defence of tlie Antiquity of the Royal Line of Scotland, p. 24, edit. 1685. t Sir James Dalrjnnple, who cites the same lines, refers for them to a manuscript at Edinburgh. Collections, p. 90. PREFACE. iii land, although it could not be so exact as the other monasteries, since it was oft-timcs of old under the Saxons, who would cer- tainly lessen wliat relates to us. And thus the fault lay in the copy, and not in the pubhsliers, for the author of that manu- script calls Bede our counteri/man, so he must have been then our enemy; but, liowever, it begins not with Alpin, as the Doctor alleges, though I mention that because he is not men- tioned in the Oxford cdition. It declares that it is to continue where the reverend Bede left, and so it is a proof of our nation and history for that time, and the difFerences of that shall be printed."* Sir James Dah-ymple tells us that he will not be at the pains to compare the Oxford edition with the manuscript copies to be found in Scotland or England, but that lie will content him- self with the printed one.f Nicolson, in his Scottisli Historical Library, had done much to perpetuate this behef, and has in other respects clouded the subject by the unguarded, erroneous, and contradictory manner in which he speaks of our Chronicle. The authority which is gen- erally attached to his work, somewhat undeservedly, renders it necessary to examine his statements, without reverting to those advanced by Mackenzie and Dabymple, which he incorporates with his own. He agrees with the former of these writers that Gale's text is imperfect; and after quoting the following sen- tence—Rex ^lalcolmus Scotorum, veniens ad regem Angliae Henricum apud Cestriam, devenit homo suus, eo modo quo avus suus fuerat homo veteris regis Henrici, salvis omnibus dignita- tibus suis—he adds, " nor is this matter taken notice of in the Oxford edition, but only in the manuscript copy which they * Mackenzie's Defence, p. 9G. j Collectioiis, p. 205. iv PREFACE. have in Scotland." Strange to say, these very words are to be found in the Oxford edition.* Yet one of his subsequent ob- servations seems intended to prove that the Scottish copies are less copious than the decried Enghsh edition, for he tells us that all " these manuscript copies in Scotlandf end with the words ' Kilcontath Kilconcath] comes de Karryc in Obiit Adam de \J.. Actonia [/. Acconia], cujusuxorem [DiuamnomineJ] comitissam de Karryc, postea junior Robertus de Bruys accepit in spon- sam;'" which demonstrates that they contain about two pages less than is given by the Oxford edition.

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

  • Toward an Ecological Conversion: Ecospiritual Literacy for Developing Roman Catholic Ecological Education
    Toward an Ecological Conversion: Ecospiritual Literacy for Developing Roman Catholic Ecological Education by Youngmin Song A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College. © Copyright by Youngmin Song 2018 Toward an Ecological Conversion: Ecospiritual Literacy for Developing Roman Catholic Ecological Education Youngmin Song Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2018 Abstract The root of the current ecological crisis is a spiritual one and demands a genuine ecological conversion. In response to this call, the dissertation attempts to develop a model of Roman Catholic ecological education which seeks an integral development of thoughts, feelings, and actions. For this purpose, the study proposes ecospiritual literacy as a conceptual foundation of Roman Catholic ecological education and develops its basic principles which collectively inspire ecological conversion. Based on an evolutionary cosmology which is concerned with both the physical and spiritual dimensions of the larger reality, the concept of ecospiritual literacy encourages learners to understand how they are deeply embedded within the larger world, to sense the divine sacredness which all of creation reveals, and to participate in their role for enhancing the sacred community of creation. With its emphasis on seeing the whole aspect of the larger reality, ecospiritual literacy enables Roman Catholic ecological education to highlight Earth as an active subject (i.e., as our primary teacher) that reveals ecological and spiritual messages.

In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • The Dissemination of Visions of the Otherworld in Thirteenth-Century
    The dissemination of visions of the otherworld in England and northern France c.1150-c.1321 Christopher Thomas John Wilson Submitted by Christopher Thomas John Wilson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in April 2012. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approvedfor the award of a degree by this or any other University. Abstract This thesis examines the dissemination of visions of the otherworld in the long thirteenth century (c.1150-1321) by analysing the work of one enthusiast for such visions, Helinand of Froidmont, and studying the later transmission of three, contrasting accounts: the vision of the monk of Eynsham (c.1196), the vision of St. Fursa (c.656) and the vision of Gunthelm (s.xiiex). It relies on a close reading and comparison of different versions of these visions as they appear in exempla collections, religious miscellanies, history chronicles and sermons. In considering the process of redaction, it corrects two imbalances in the recent scholarship: a focus on searching for, then discussing ‘authorial’ versions of the narratives and a tendency among students of literature to treat visions of the otherworld as an independent sub-genre, prefiguring Dante’s later masterpiece. Instead, by looking at the different responses of a number of authors and compilers to visions of the otherworld, this thesis shows how they interacted with other elements of religious culture.

London Index More information INDEX OF HEADS This index is solely a list of heads, the information being kept to a minimum for convenience in use. The order is based on Christian names, with abbots before priors, abbesses before prioresses, and in alphabetical order of their houses: surnames are always in parentheses and ignored in the order. The arrangement means that heads who moved from house to house occur twice: thus Adam, pr. Bermondsey, later abb. Evesham, appears under each, but with a cross-reference. Square brackets enclosing the name of a house indicate that the head moved to it later than and his name is not, therefore, to be found in the list for that house. Names occurring in earlier printed lists which we have eliminated are in italics; names due to scribal error are in inverted commas (with cross-reference to the correct form); and names queried in the lists are queried here.

  • Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667
    Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aidan Francis Cottrell-Boyce, Gonville and Caius College, June 2018. For Anna. Abstract In the seventeenth century, in England, a remarkable number of small, religious movements began adopting demonstratively Jewish ritual practices. They were labelled by their contemporaries as Judaizers. Typically, this phenomenon has been explained with reference to other tropes of Puritan practical divinity. It has been claimed that Judaizing was a form of Biblicism or a form of millenarianism. In this thesis, I contend that Judaizing was an expression of another aspect of the Puritan experience: the need to be recognized as a ‘singular,’ positively- distinctive, separated minority. Contents Introduction 1 Singularity and Puritanism 57 Judaizing and Singularity 99 ‘A Jewish Faccion’: Anti-legalism, Judaizing and the Traskites 120 Thomas Totney, Judaizing and England’s Exodus 162 The Tillamites, Judaizing and the ‘Gospel Work of Separation’ 201 Conclusion 242 Introduction During the first decades of the seventeenth century in England, a remarkable number of small religious groups began to adopt elements of Jewish ceremonial law. In London, in South Wales, in the Chilterns and the Cotswolds, congregations revived the observation of the Saturday Sabbath.1 Thomas Woolsey, imprisoned for separatism, wrote to his co-religionists in Amsterdam to ‘prove it unlawful to eat blood and things strangled.’2 John Traske and his followers began to celebrate Passover

    The Classics in the Middle Ages Papers of the Twentieth Annual Conference of the Center Jor Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies Edited by Aldo S. Bernardo Saul Levin meDieval & Renaissance 'texts & scoöies Center for Medieval & Early Renaissance Studies Binghamton, New York 1990 PLENARY LECTURE "Potens in opere et serrnone": Philip, Bishop of Bayeux, and His Books * R. H. ROUSE AND M. A. ROUSE In contrasting the world of monastic learning with that of the cathedral schools, Sir Richard Southern said of the twelfth-century student, "He not only knew where to study, he also knew that his studies would have a market value." The schools, in Southern's words, "brought the idea of ... order and rationality into every area of human experience!' In the early twelfth century, "slowly the ruling households of Europe, at alllev- els from the papal court to the household of a minor baron, were penetrat- ed by men calling themselves masters, or as we should say, university men." This theme, the significant place of the schools in the formation of the twelfth-century state, permeates Southern's study of the period. I The key role of the northern French cathedral schools in the growth of Anglo- Norman administration - civil and ecclesiastic - is a near text- book example, which no doubt was very much in Southern's thinking when he wrote these statements. Names come to mind almost unbid- den: John of Salisbury, Arnulf of Lisieux, Hugh of Amiens, Rotrou of Rouen, Gilbert Foliot, Gerald of Wales-men whose ascent up the Anglo- Norman ladder depended on schooling as well as (or even instead of) birth.

  • THE ARCHBISHOPRIC of YORK 1139-1154 Thurstan Was a Successful and Energetic Archbishop Who Had Welcomed the Cistercians to Yorkshire at Rievaulx and Fountains in 1132
    LIONEL GREEN tells the strange story (which has Merton connections) of THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF YORK 1139-1154 Thurstan was a successful and energetic archbishop who had welcomed the Cistercians to Yorkshire at Rievaulx and Fountains in 1132. After serving for a quarter of a century he wished to resign in 1139, and had in mind to stand down in favour of his brother Ewan, bishop of Evreux. Thurstan sent Richard, the second abbot of Fountains, to Rome to attend the second Lateran Council and to obtain from Innocent II permission for Ewan’s election to the primacy. Ewan was a good and popular choice, as he was “ranked amongst the most learned men of his day”.1 He had been a favourite of Henry I, and at his death accompanied the king’s body from Normandy to Reading in December 1135. Ewan the elect came to Merton to await the decision of the pope, and took the habit of a canon of Merton, but died on 2 July 1139 “in the college of the canons of Merton where he was buried”.2 England was denied the services of an eminent man as archbishop of York. Seven months later, on 6 February 1140, Thurstan also died, and this is the story of how the Church suffered to find a suitable successor. Although “a small beginning, the strife came to involve almost every person of importance in England, and many on the continent, and lasted in its ramifications for some twenty years”.3 Waldef prior of Kirkham (Augustinian) was a favoured candidate but was vetoed by king Stephen on political grounds, as he was a stepson of king David of Scotland.4 Henry de Sully, abbot of Fécamp, was then put forward with the support of the pope’s legate Henry of Winchester, but Sully was reluctant to leave his abbey, and Innocent II refused to allow him to hold two offices.
