AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Hulda or Holda (the friendly, or benignant), a German goddess, known in the old legends as “Frau Holle,” was originally the goddess of marriage and fecundity, worshipped and invoked by maids and wives; she sent bridegrooms to the former and children to the latter. She was represented as a beautiful white woman, surrounded by great numbers of children, in her favorite haunts in the depths of the sea or the hearts of hills. She was also the patroness of agriculture and domestic life, with its manifold employments. Later she appears in the fairy tales of Hesse and Thuringia probably written by Christian priests as an old and ugly woman, with a long nose, large teeth, coarse hair, and a companion of the wild and the roaming. But even in these last tales traces of kind and pleasant ways are left. — Pierer, Univ. Lex. 8, 480; Chambers, Cyclop. 5, 453. (J. H.W.) Hul’dah (Hebrew Chuldah’, hD;l]ju, weasel; Sept. &Oldan, Josephus Ojlda>, Ant. 10, 4, 2), wife of Shallum, a prophetess, who, in the reign of Josiah, abode in that part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh, where the book of the law was discovered by the high-priest Hilkiah. B.C. 623. This prophetess was consulted respecting the denunciations which it contained. She then delivered an oracular response of mingled judgment and mercy; declaring the not remote destruction of Jerusalem, but promising Josiah that he should be taken from the world before these evil days came (<122214>2 Kings 22:14-20; <142104>2 Chronicles 21:4, 22-28). Huldah is only known for this circumstance. She was probably at this time the widow of Shallum, a name too common to suggest any information; he is said to have been “keeper of the wardrobe,” but whether the priestly or the royal wardrobe is uncertain. If the former, he must have been a Levite, if not a priest. SEE HARHAS. As to her residence hn,v]MæBi, in the Mishneh, which the A.V. renders “in the college,” there is no ground to conclude that any school or college of the prophets is to be understood. The name means second or double; and many of the Jews themselves (as Jarchi states) understood it as the name of the suburb lying between the inner and outer wall of Jerusalem; perhaps 1. q. “the lower city,” or Acra (q.v.). It is safest to regard it as a proper name denoting some quarter of Jerusalem about which we are not certain, and, accordingly, to translate in the mishneh, for which we have the precedent of the Septuagint, which has eJn th~| Masen{5. The place of her residence is mentioned probably to show why she, being at hand, was resorted to on 3 this urgent occasion, and not Jeremiah, who was then probably away at his native town Anathoth, or at some more distant place. There were gates of the temple in the middle of the southern wall, called “the gates of Huldah” (Mishna, tit. Middoth, 1, 3), which, if they were so named from any connection with tile prophetess, may indicate her residence on Ophel. SEE SHALLUM; SEE JOSIAH. Huldericus, Augustensis Episcopus who flourished in 860, was a scholar of Adalbert, and descended from the counts of Kilbury and Döllinger. He is known by his letter addressed to pope Nicholas against the celibacy of the clergy (Eistola de Cleri caelibatu). It was translated into English, and published about the time of the Reformation (in 16mo), without date. — Darling, Cyclop. Bibliographica; Clarke, Succession of Sac. Literature, 2:531. Huldrich, Jean Jacques a Swiss theologian, born at Zurich in 1683, belonged to a family of which several members have distinguished themselves as theologians and philologists. SEE HULDERICUS. He devoted much of his time to the acquisition of Hebrew, and went to the universities of Holland to pursue a course of study in the Oriental languages. On his return to his native place in 1706 he was made pastor of the House of Orphans. In 1710 he was appointed professor of moral science at the Gymnasium of Zurich. His scholarship was of a superior order, and he was frequently solicited to accept a professorship at the universities of Heidelberg and Groningen. He died at Zurich May 25, 1731. He published Historia Jeschua Nazareni, a Judeis blaspheme corrupta, ex manunscripto hactenus inedito Heb. et Lat., cum tiotis (Leyd. 1705, 8vo) — Gentilis Obtrectator, sive de calumniis gentilium in Judaeos Commentarius (Zurich, 1744,4to), a collection of sermons, etc. — Hoefer. Nouv. Biog. Gen. 25, 470 sq. Hull Hope a Methodist Episcopal minister, was born March 13, 1763, in Worcester County, on the eastern shore of Maryland. His early education was rather neglected, and he was apprenticed to a carpenter at Baltimore. In this city he was converted, and entered the itinerancy in 1785. He was first appointed to Salisbury, North Carolina. With the exception of a brief period spent in New England, his time was given to the introduction of 4 Methodism in the Southern States. His last appointment was the Savannah Circuit, Georgia. In 1794 he traveled with bishop Asbury, and located in 1795. He died October 4,1818, at Athens, Ga. Hull possessed wonderful power over those who came within his influence, and was one of the most eloquent ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church in his day. His piety was deep, and many were converted under his labors. During his active work in the ministry, he secured for himself a pretty good education, and was at one time able even to assume the duties of teacher of Latin. He was also one of the first and strongest supports of the University of Georgia, which was founded during his residence at Athens. — Stevens, Memorials of Methodism, chap. 9; Boehm, History Reminisc. p. 366; Sprague, Annals Azet. Pulpit, 7, 112 sq. (J. H.W.) Huln (UILLAUME, a Roman cardinal, born at Étain. in the diocese of Verdun, in the latter half of the 14th century. He was at one time archdeacon of Verdun and later of Metz. He was an attendant at the Council of Basle in 1440, and was one of the supporters of the antipope (Amadeus of Savoy) Felix V, who gave him the cardinal’s hat. Nicholas V confirmed the cardinal after the schism Dec. 19, 1449. He died at Rome Oct. 28,1455. — Migne, Dict. Theol. 31, 1092. Hulot, Henri Louis a French theologian, was born at Avenay March 1, 1757. He was professor first at the seminary, then at the University of Rouen, where he was obliged to resign at the outbreak of the Revolution, and to flee from persecution which threatened him. He went to Gand, where he was made grand vicar, until the entrance of the French into the Netherlands in 1794 forced him again to flee. He went successively to Minster, Erfurt, Dresden, and Augsburg. When he was permitted to return to his native land, h.1 was appointed curate of the parish of Avan9on, and later of Antigny. After twenty years of assiduous labor at this parish, he was made canon, and finally grand vicar and official at Rheims. He died Sept. 1, 1829. His principal writings are Lettre aux catholiques de Reims (in Latin and French, Gand, 1793, 8vo) — Lettre despretres Français Al’eveque de Gand — Collect. des brefs du pape Pie VI (Augsb. 1796) — lettres à M. Schrofenberg, eveque de Freysingue et de Ratisbonne, enfaveur des pretres Franf. (1796, 8vo) — Etat les Cathol. Angl. (1798, 8vo) — 5 Salisburgensis cujusdetm religiosi delecta castigfatio, seu vindicice cleri Gallicani exulis (1800, 8vo):Gallicanorum Episcoporumn dissensus innocuus (1801, 8vo) — Sedis apostolicae Triumphus, seu sedes apostolica, protectore deo, semper invicta (Laon, 1836, Svo). Several controversial works and sermons were left in MS. — Hoefer, Nouv. Bio. Gen. 25, 479. Hulse, John was born at Middlewich in 1708. He was educated at St. John’s College, Cambridge; obtained a small curacy in the country; and, upon the death of his father in 1753, withdrew to his paternal inheritance in Cheshire, where, owing to his delicate state of health, he lived in retirement until his death, Dec. 14, 1790. He bequeathed estates in order to found two divinity scholarships in St. John’s College, the Hulsean Prize Essay, and to endow the offices of “Christian Advocate” and “Christian Preacher” in the University of Cambridge. The duties of the “Christian Preacher,” or Hulsean Lecturer according to this appointment, were to deliver and print twenty sermons every year, either upon the evidences of Christianity, or the difficulties of Holy Scripture. The funds being inadequate, the lectures were not commenced until 1820, and in 1830 the number of sermons to be delivered in a year was reduced to eight. In 1860 the office of “Christian Advocate” was changed to a professorship, called the Hulsean Professorship of Divinity. Bishop Ellicot was the first incumbent in the new chair. At present the office of the Hulsean Lecturer or Preacher is annual, and the duty of the lecturer to preach not less than four, nor more than six sermons in the course of the year. Among the most important of the Hulsean sermons are the following: Blunt (J.J.), Principles for the proper Understanding of the Mosaic Writings, 1832 (London 1833, 8vo); Alford, The Consistency of the Divine Conduct in revealing the Doctrines of Redemption, 1841 (Cambridge, 1842, 8vo); Trench, The Fitness of the Holy Scripture for unfolding the Spiritual Life of Man, 1845 (Cambridge, 1845, 8vo); Trench, Christ the Desire of all Nations, 1846 (Cambridge, 1846, 8vo); Wordsworth, On the Canon of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, and on the Apocrypha, 1847 (London 1848, 8vo); Wordsworth, Lectures on the Apocalypse, critical, expository, and practical, 1848 (London 1849, 8vo).
