Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r. -
William Cave (1637-1713) and the Fortunes of Historia Literaria in England
WILLIAM CAVE (1637-1713) AND THE FORTUNES OF HISTORIA LITERARIA IN ENGLAND ALEXANDER ROBERT WRIGHT Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, December 2017 Faculty of English Abstract WILLIAM CAVE (1637-1713) AND THE FORTUNES OF HISTORIA LITERARIA IN ENGLAND Alexander Robert Wright This thesis is the first full-length study of the English clergyman and historian William Cave (1637-1713). As one of a number of Restoration divines invested in exploring the lives and writings of the early Christians, Cave has nonetheless won only meagre interest from early- modernists in the past decade. Among his contemporaries and well into the nineteenth century Cave’s vernacular biographies of the Apostles and Church Fathers were widely read, but it was with the two volumes of his Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688 and 1698), his life’s work, that he made his most important and lasting contribution to scholarship. The first aim of the thesis is therefore to build on a recent quickening of research into the innovative early-modern genre of historia literaria by exploring how, why, and with what help, in the context of late seventeenth-century European intellectual culture, Cave decided to write a work of literary history. To do so it makes extensive use of the handwritten drafts, annotations, notebooks, and letters that he left behind, giving a comprehensive account of his reading and scholarly practices from his student-days in 1650s Cambridge and then as a young clergyman in the 1660s to his final, unsuccessful attempts to publish a revised edition of his book at the end of his life. -

Authority and Duty: Columbanus and the Primacy of Rome
Authority and Duty: Columbanus and the Primacy of Rome Damian Bracken Abstract. Columbanus’s letters are among the earliest examples of literature written by an Irishman and one of the first acknowledgements of the primacy of Rome from the pen of a barbarian. Many scholars have discerned a truculence, if not arrogance, in his letters to the popes. In many cases, his direct manner of speaking has obscured for a modern readership the extent of his knowledge of the nature of Roman primacy and his acceptance of many of the principles on which that primacy rests. Particularly in his letter to pope Boniface IV, Columbanus draws on these principles, in the first instance to acknowledge the primacy of the bishop of Rome, but also to remind the pope of the duties of leadership. Columbanus wrote Letter 5 at the time of the Three Chapters controversy when, following the doctrinal wavering of pope Vigilius, the churches of the West had either broken off communion with Rome or viewed its bishop with suspicion. In that context, Colum- banus’s call on the bishop of Rome to fulfil his role of ‘watchman’ of the church was less an affront to his dignity than an affirmation of his authority. Keywords: Columbanus, authority, Three Chapters controversy, Gregory the Great, Leo I, Boniface IV, Rome, primacy of Rome, role of bishop, caput ecclesiae, early Ireland.

© 2010 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands (ISBN: 978 90 04 18262 2) CHAPTER THIRTEEN PATRES PATRIAE OR PRODITORES PATRIAE? LEGITIMIZING AND DE-LEGITIMIZING THE AUTHORITY OF THE PROVINCIAL ESTATES IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY BOHEMIA Petr Maťa Th is contribution is concerned with patriotic sentiment and language in Bohemia in the second half of the seventeenth century.1 It aims primarily at providing greater historical context to what has been writ- ten on this topic. Here, I will introduce new evidence framed by a case study. Yet a case study might be exactly a good starting point given the current state of knowledge. Hitherto, interpretations have been built up on a markedly limited scrutiny of source material, and historians have usually overprivileged a few texts and fi gures at the expense of many others. Being interested primarily in tracing the lin- eage of a national consciousness, they have perpetuated the tendency, deep-rooted in the traditional master narrative of a Czech national history, to line up seventeenth- and eighteenth-century “patriots”— mostly authors of historiographical and hagiographical writings—in a chain of canonized witnesses of national awareness. Th is tendency has predetermined both the selective research interests and the inter- pretation of these texts as primarily manifestations of Czech national consciousness. 1 In this article, I deliberately avoid the term “patriotism”. Beyond the general problematic nature of the “ism” terms, especially when applied to the premodern and early modern situations, it is precisely the notion of patriotic talk as primarily an expression of consistent patriotic positions or even a political doctrine that I intend to problematize here. -

Popes Who Disproved Papal Infallibility
DOWNLOAD PAGE AND/OR PRINT FOR RESEARCH/REFERENCE Patrick H Gormley POPES WHO DISPROVED PAPAL INFALLIBILITY The Roman Catholic Church claims that Jesus Christ who was the only person ever to have been God in human flesh made the apostle Peter the head of the Church and the first pope and infallible. The popes are the successors of Peter endowed with the same powers. However history speaks of popes who used their infallibility and still erred. Papal infallibility - only made a dogma for Catholics in 1870 - is refuted by history. POPE LIBERIUS DISPROVES PAPAL INFALLIBILITY Protestants hold that some popes proclaimed doctrines that were contrary to the Catholic faith which disproves papal infallibility and the infallibility of ecumenical councils like Vatican 1 which declared the pope infallible. They cite the case of Pope Liberius who allegedly subscribed to the heresy that Jesus was not God, Arianism, by signing and approving of an Arian Creed. The Catholics say the fact is that Liberius signed a document containing a statement about Jesus in creed form that could have been interpreted in an Arian sense or in accordance with Catholic doctrine. Plus, they say that he was in exile so he could have been forced. Catholics stress that no pope can give an infallible teaching except in freedom – this is a bizarre teaching for if God protects his Church from error he will give it the heroic virtues to help it stand by the truth no matter what like he does for so many saints. For God not to do this means God can let Hell win over his Church. -
ANNICK PAYNE Hesychius' Lydian Glosses I
DOI: https://doi.org/10.13130/1972-9901/15416 ANNICK PAYNE Hesychius’ Lydian Glosses I ABSTRACT: The historical distance between Hesychius, whose life dates (approx. AD 500) are only a rough estimate, and the Lydian Empire amounts to over a millennium, and a similar distance separates his work from the oldest surviving manuscript at the Marciana Library in Venice. The Hesychian lexicon contains a number of glosses referring to the Lydians which have been particularly badly understood, and therefore have been subject to emendation throughout their reception history. This unpromising situation is slowly improving due to continued work on the Lydian language and surviving inscriptions. The present article addresses a selection of Lydian glosses preserved in the Marciana manuscript. KEYWORDS: Hesychius, Lexicon, glosses, Lydian, Anatolia. 1. Introduction The work entitled Ἡσυχίου γραμματικοῦ Ἀλεξανδρέως συναγωγὴ πασῶν λέξεων κατὰ στοιχεῖον ἐκ τῶν Ἀριστάρχου καὶ Ἀπίωνος καὶ Ἡλιοδώρου was based mainly on an earlier lexicon by Diogenianus, a second century AD grammarian from Heraclea Pontia, as stated in the dedicatory letter to Eulogius. Hesychius’ lexicon survives in a sole manuscript of 439 folios from the 15th century AD, conserved in the Libreria Marciana in Venice.1 The mention of a second manuscript, thought to have existed in the Laurentian Library, Florence, is circumstantial. Alter (1796: 293) cites as evidence a handwritten note from the 1521 Hagenau edition, formerly the property of the historian and Greek scholar Peter Lambeck (1628–1680) from Hamburg.2 According * The author would like to thank Ettore Cingano for help with access to the MS, Geraldina Rozzi for procuring additional pictures. -

WHAT IS A POPE? The offi ce occupied by the pope is known as the papacy. The pope’s principal title is Bishop of Rome. In addition to his immediate pastoral responsibilities as Bishop of Rome, the pope also exercises a special ministry on be- half of the universal Church. It is called the Petrine min- istry, because the Catholic Church considers the pope to be the successor of the Apostle Peter. As such, he has the 2 the pocket guide to the popes duty to preserve the unity of the worldwide Church and to support all of his brother bishops in the service of their own respective dioceses.
