St. Agatho Catholic.net Roman martyrology: At Rome, Pope St. Agatho, who terminated a life remarkable for sanctity and learning by a holy death. SHORT BIOGRAPHY LXXIX Pope Agatho, a Sicilian by birth, was remarkable for his charity and benevolence, a profound humility, and an engaging sweetness of temper. He was a married layman and successful businessman for most of his life. In maturity he finally followed a call to God, and with his wife’s blessing, he became a monk at Saint Hermes’ monastery in Palermo, Sicily. Having been several years treasurer of the Church of Rome, he succeeded Domnus in the pontificate in 679. He presided by his three legates in the sixth general council and third of Constantinople, in 680, in the reign of the pious emperor Constantine Pogonatus, against the Monothelite heresy, which he confuted in a learned letter to that emperor, by the tradition of the apostolic church of Rome: “acknowledged,” says he, “by the whole Catholic church, to be the mother and mistress of all other churches, and to derive her superior authority from Saint Peter, the prince of the apostles, to whom Christ committed his whole flock, with a promise that his faith should never fail. The Sixth Ecumenical Council (680-681) accepted Agatho's definitions of the two wills of Christ, although the pope did not attend the council. Agatho died during a plague in 681. As pontiff, Agatho brought his business skills to the throne, maintaining the accounting records himself. He worked to resolve a dispute between Saint Wilfrid of York and Saint Theodore of Canterbury concerning diocesan boundaries in England; this was the first known occasion of English bishops appealing to Rome página 1 / 2 St. Agatho Catholic.net for a decision. He condemned the Monothelite heresy, and wrote definitive texts concerning the nature of Christ’s will; his writings and authority swayed the Council of Constantinople, and reunited Constantinople with Rome, though he died before the good news reached him. página 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

STROGANOV MINYEIAS NOVEMBER Side One Row 1
STROGANOV MINYEIAS NOVEMBER Side One Row 1 November 1: Saints Cosmas and Damian of Mesopotamia – The brothers Cosmas and Damian were known healers and miracle workers during their lifetimes. Stories of their miracle working continued after their deaths. They traveled throughout the area now known as Turkey and tended to those who were ill and injured, refusing any payment from those they helped. These saints should not be confused with Saints Cosmas and Damian of Rome (celebrated July 1) or Saints Cosmas and Damian of Arabia (celebrated October 17). November 1: Saint Theodota of Mesopotamia – Saint Theodota was the mother of martyrs Cosmas and Damian. It was Theodota who taught her sons scripture and helped them to become physicians. November 1: Saint Juliana of Cilicia – Saint Juliana was a 4th century Christian who was arrested during the reign of emperor Maximian Galerius (305-311). She was publicly humiliated before her execution. November 2: Saints Acindynus, Pegasius, Aphthonius, Elpidophorus, and Anempodistus – Saint Acindy- nus and those with him lived in Persia in the 4th century during the reign of King Shapur II (309-379. The King initially was tolerant of the Christians in his realm however he began to mistrust them after his enemy Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, distrust turned to hostility when war broke out between the two nations in 337. Acindynus, Pegasius, Aphthonius, Elpidophorus, and Anempodistus were martyred alongside some 7000 other Christians. November 3: Saints Akepsimas, Joseph, and Aithalas – These three saints were Christian leaders in Persia during the reign of King Shapur II. Akepsimas was Bishop of Persia, Joseph was a Priest, and Aithalas a Deacon.

Ruben Suykerbuyk - 9789004433106 Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 10:21:27AM via free access Chapter 4 Pilgrimage The Public Debate on Images, Miracles and Pilgrims The direct causes of the 1566 Beeldenstorm were diverse and cannot possibly be reduced to a single factor, but the acts themselves were a physical and material expression of a body of critiques that had become common ground among Protestants all over Europe. One of the most controversial subjects was the veneration of saints, relics and images, which, in turn, were the driving force behind the pil- grimage phenomenon. Harking back to the ban on the making and adoration (adorare in the Vulgate, latreia in the Septuagint) of imag- es (resp. sculptile or eidolon) in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20, 1–17; Deuteronomy 5, 4–21), Protestant reformers judged their use and paying honor to them to be idolatrous, distracting the attention of the people from the genuine devotion to God. Luther, Zwingli and Calvin all fulminated against such Catholic practices, although their individual standpoints significantly differed, varying from rather tolerant in Luther’s case to virtually encouraging iconoclasm in the case of Zwingli.1 Protestant Critiques After his initial fierce criticism, Luther developed an increasingly moderate attitude. In the series of sermons he held in Wittenberg in early March 1522 to end the disorderly course of the Unruhen, he presented images as adiaphora, things that in themselves are neither good nor bad. His key distinction was between exterior idolatry, di- rected to images, and the much more dangerous interior cult of idols ‘which every person [has] in his or heart’, such as money.2 Inasmuch as images could help believers to worship God, they were certainly to be allowed in Luther’s view.

Head-And-Shoulder Outlined Anthropomorphic Graves in 9Th-13Th Century Flanders: Material Characteristics and Immaterial Meaning
FACULTEIT LETTEREN EN WIJSBEGEERTE Head-and-shoulder outlined anthropomorphic graves in 9th-13th century Flanders: material characteristics and immaterial meaning Proeve ingediend voor het behalen van de graad van Master in de Kunstwetenschappen en Archeologie Vrije Universiteit Brussel Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte Kunstwetenschappen en Archeologie Promotor: Prof. Dr. Dries Tys Maria Mejia Sian Academiejaar 2014-2015 Ik verklaar plechtig dat ik de masterproef, Head-and-shoulder outlined anthropomorphic graves in 9th-13th century Flanders: material characteristics and immaterial meaning, zelf heb geschreven. Ik ben op de hoogte van de regels i.v.m. plagiaat en heb erop toegezien om deze toe te passen in deze masterproef. Datum Naam + handtekening 2 Summary Deze masterthesis onderzoekt antropomorfe graven in Vlaanderen van de 9e tot de 13e eeuw. Antropomorfe graven worden gedefinieerd als tenminste het kenmerk van de hoofd-schouder contour hebbende. Het probleem wat wordt aangepakt is vast te stellen of dit graftype een aparte categorie vormt met een duidelijk onderscheidende eigen naam, zodat dit door archeologen herkend en gebruikt kan worden. Indien adequaat gedocumenteerd kan informatie over dit graftype het onderzoek stimuleren naar begraafpraktijken in relatie tot de middeleeuwse samenleving en de christelijke spiritualiteit. Omdat de terminologie in de literatuur niet eenduidig is, wordt de aanduiding antropomorf graf met hoofd-schouder contour gebruikt; voor het Nederlands taalgebied wordt de term hoofdnisgraf voorgesteld. Een data-set met 11 sites in huidig Vlaanderen werd samengesteld. Deze sites omvatten begraafplaatsen in of nabij kerken, kapellen, kloosters of abdijen. De informatie die gevonden kon worden in opgravingsverslagen en andere publicaties, was beperkt. Er zijn onderzoeksvragen opgesteld met betrekking tot de materiële kenmerken en de immateriële betekenis van dit graftype.

Mirabilia Vrbis Romae. the Marvel of Rome, Or a Picture of the Golden City
MIRABILIA FRBIS ROMAE THE MARVELS OF ROME OR A PICTURE OF THE GOLDEN CITY AN ENGLISHVERSION OF THE MEDIEVAL GUIDE-BOOK WITH A SUPPLEMENT OF ILLUSTRATIVE MATTER AND NOTES BY FRANCIS MORGAN NICHOLS LONDON. ELLIS AND ELVEY ROME. SPITHOEVER 1889 PREFACE THE little book of which an Englilh verfion is here publifhed for the firft time was the ftandard guide-book of the more learned vifitors to Rome from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. Its ftatements were received with the refpect due to a work of authority, and their influence may be traced in the writin<Ts of many of the authors who flourifhed during that period. The moft ftriking example of the long-fuftained credit of the medieval Roman Topo- graphy is afforded by the Letters of Petrarch. In the defcriptions of Rome given by this great leader of the Revival of Learning, fcarcely any trace appears of the new critical fpirit, but the locali- ties are ftill prefented under the names, and alTociated with the legends, of the Mirah ilia. a _L v^ «_-' *_y w ^i _ • vi Preface. In the following century, when the wider ftudy of ancient authors and in- fcriptions had impaired its influence among the learned, the Mirabilia ftill maintained its place in popular eflima- tion; and, after the invention of printing, feveral editions of it ilTued from the prefs. In the prefent day this treatife is ufe- ful to the archseologift as fupplying fome fcanty evidence refpe6ling the hiftory of the (ites and buildings of ancient Rome. Under the perplexing veil of an often arbitrary or barbarous nomen- clature it exhibits a fhadowy pi6lure of the ruins which attracted notice in the medieval city, many of which have fmce difappeared, while it narrates with charming fnnplicity the legends with which the principal monuments, and the few works of art which were not buried beneath the furface, were aflb- ciated in the minds of the more educated people of the time.
