The Du Moulins appear to have been among the noblesse of the Isle de France, our English dignitaries belonging to the younger or Lorme-Grenier branch, the learned jurist Charles Du Moulin to the elder or Mignaux branch. Of this family, it is said, was Charles Dutnoulin, in whose chateau of Brus-sous- Eorges, the tower of which is still standing, the early years of Anne Boleyn were passed. 1 The Royal licence was given in 1586 to French Protestants and their ministers to live in Scotland, and Joachim Du Moulin was among the first to come over. The Haddington Presbytery had before them, 18 Oct. 1589, "the warrant from the Synodal for the ingadering of the support to Mr. — Muling banest out of Prance." See Agnew's Protestant Exiles, iii., 118. 2 Pierre Du Moulin was born at the Chateau de Butry in le Yexin, where his father had found a shelter with Duplessis-Mornay. He studied successively at Sedan, Paris, for four years at Cambridge, and at Leyden, where he was elected Professor of Philosophy in 1595*, or according to Haag at the age of 24 (1592). He came to London, as did Isaac Casaubon, on the invitation and as the guest of James I. (who criticized his Vocation des Pasteurs) in 1615, and at this time received his Prebendal Stall in Canterbury, and possibly further English preferment. In 1626 he appears, from Atlien. Oxon. (ii., 863), to have succeeded Dr. Godfrey Goodman (who, in 1620, on his preferment to the Deanery of Rochester, had been followed in his Essex living of Stapleford-Abbots by another Protestant Refugee, Cesar Calandrini) in the sinecure living of Llanarmon in Yale; and in Fasti Oxon., i., 329, it is noted that " Old Peter du Moulin of Sedan had the sinecure Rectory of Llanhrayader in Derbyshire, which he enjoyed in 1646." He was 38 years Professor of Theology at Sedan, where he had fled on the discovery of a letter of his to King James on behalf of the Protestants, and where he died. La France Protestante (MM. Haag) gives a list of no less than 80 publications of his, and it may be added that he pronounced the funeral oration on Henri IV. 3 Peter Du Moulin studied successively at Sedan, Leyden, and in England. "While tutor for some two years at Oxford to Lord Dungarvan and the Hon. Richard Boyle, he constantly preached in the church of St. Peter's in the East. In 1567 he received the Vicarage of Bradwell, Bucks, but resigned it in a few days. The Fasti gives a full list of his works, much admired in their day, in number 17. The most noted were Defense de la religion reformee et de la Monarchic et eglise AngUcane, 1650; and Regii Sanguinis clamor ad coelum adversus parricidos AngUcanos in 1652, to which Milton replied in 1654. He appears to have latterly resided at Canterbury till his death in 1684. His will, dated 7 October 1684, was proved in the Consistory Court on the 13th of the same month {Lib. 55,146) by his niece, the residuary legatee and sole executrix, Theodosia Du Moulin.

II en eut Louis qui prit pour fenime Rebecca Taylor," etc It will be seen, however, by the above- quoted will that, while he apparently left no posterity, he oertainly had a nephew Louis. Whether this nephew was, aa is more probable, the son of Dr. Louis, of whom_ no will is extant, or of Cyrus, is a faot yet to be ascertained; and the Compiler would be grateful for any information. There also remain unplaced Ann Du Moulin, who on 25 Oct. 1722 was married in Canterbury Cathedral to Simon Gilbert, of Aldington; and Ann Du Moulin, spinster, of St. George's, NOTES TO THE PEDIGREES. 37 Botolph Lane, London, who in her will, dated 3 Nov. 1718, and proved in the P.C.C. 19- Sept. 1734 (203, Ockham), refers to some house property, which she leaves to a stranger in blood, Thomas Downes, as having been given her by her mole, the late Dr. Peter Du Moulin. 4 Louis Du Moulin was a Nonconformist and hot Controversialist. Haag gives a list of 24 publications of his, of whioh Patronus bona fidei in Causa Puritanorum, Lond. 1672, 8vo, was in answer to Dr. Durel's Sanctce Eeclesice Anglicanas adversus iniquas atque inwrecundas Schismaticorwm criminationes Vindicim, and of which his last was The last words of Lewis du Moulin : being his retractation of all the personal reflections he had made on the Divines of the Church of England, London, 1680. 5 Of him Voltaire said that he was better adapted for a Minister of State than a minister of a parish.

  • Revisiting Jan Assmann's Reading of the Early Modern Reception of Moses

    Revisiting Jan Assmann's Reading of the Early Modern Reception of Moses

    Aegyptiaca. Journal of the History of Reception of Ancient Egypt ! “The Wisdom of the Egyptians”: Revisiting Jan Assmann’s Reading of the Early Modern Reception of Moses Mordechai Feingold Moses the Egyptian was published nearly twenty-five years ago, to deservedly wide acclaim. It offered a compelling theory concerning a profound cultural trauma and its subsequent mutable memory, traversing between two momentous poles: the Amarna/Exodus story at one end, and the Holocaust at the other. The former had engendered what Jan Assmann terms the “Mosaic distinction”; the latter encompassed the horrible consequence of its dissolution three and a half millennia later. In between, Assmann identified two outbursts of Egyptophilia— the extended Renaissance era and Napoleon’s Egypt expedition—both of which flanked a period of intense scholarly activity that threw a dose of Egyptophobia into the mix. To facilitate his investigation, Assmann availed himself of a new approach to the study of the past: mnemohistory. Whereas a more traditional historical approach, he explained, aims to investigate “the past as such”, recapturing past events as they truly were, mnemohistory is concerned with “the past as it was remembered”, seeking to tease out “the mythical elements in tradition and discovering their hidden agenda”. This approach is further informed by the conviction that any given present “is ‘haunted’ by the past, and that the past is modelled, invented, reinvented, and reconstructed by the present”. As Assmann amplified elsewhere, he considers the past to be “a social construction whose nature arises out of the needs and frames of reference of each particular present.

I think, however, that there are several reasons why such a book may be acceptable. A very large amount of new material for the history of the sixteenth century has been brought to light in recent years by the publication of State papers, ambas- sadors' letters, and other original documents which were formerly but little known. Much of this, it is true, has been worked up into many volumes by learned and able writers, to whom I am greatly indebted; but of these, some are works read almost exclusively by students ex professo, and many others, from the extent of ground which they have to cover, are too voluminous for ordinary readers : some, too, are written with so strong a party bias as to mislead rather than guide those who consult them.

  • Mecca and Macoraba*

    Mecca and Macoraba*

    Mecca and Macoraba* IAN D. MORRIS University of Amsterdam ([email protected]) Abstract Claudius Ptolemy’s second-century Geography places the name Macoraba in the west of the Arabian Peninsula. There is a consensus in Orientalist scholarship that Macoraba is Mecca, and to a lesser extent that the name derives from an Ancient South Arabian word for “temple.” This paper traces the identification of Macoraba as Mecca back to Samuel Bochart in 1646 and assesses the changing interpretations of Macoraba since then. It concludes that no satisfactory derivation has been proposed to explain the difference between the names Mecca and Macoraba, and argues that the consensus should now be abandoned or more rigorously defended. “Macoraba: 73° 20′ 22°.” — Ptolemy, Geography, §6.7.1 laudius Ptolemy was a Greek writer in Alexandria in the second century CE. He was the author of several works, the most influential being his astronomical Almagest; but his Guide to Geography, completed between 141 and 147 CE, would also prove highly Cinfluential in Europe and the Middle East. It consisted of a theoretical introduction, a list of notable places across the known world, and some accompanying maps.

H9X ICO CANADA Quaestiones Entomologicae 21:371.7-472 1985 ABSTRACT Knowledge of the animals that inhabit soil remained fragmentary and virtually restricted to a few conspicuous species until the latter part of the 19th Century, despite the publication, in 1549, of the first attempt at a thesis on the subject by Georg Bauer (Agricola). Even the writings of far-seeing naturalists, like White in 1789, and Darwin in 1840, did not arouse interest in the field. It was probably P.E. Midler in 1879, who first drew particular attention to the importance of invertebrate animals generally in humus formation. Darwin's book on earthworms, and the "formation of vegetable mould", published in 1881, and Drummond's suggestions, in 1887, regarding an analgous role for termites were landmarks, but, with the exception of a few workers, like Berlese and Diem at the turn of the century, little attention was paid to other animals in the soil, save incidentally to other investigations. Russell's famous Soil Conditions and Plant Growth could say little about the soil fauna other than earthworms.

Skepticism and Belief in Early-Modern France: The Fideism of Bishop Pierre Daniel Huet Abstract Despite the seeming oppositions between skepticism and religious belief, Bishop Pierre-Daniel Huet (1630-1721) was both a devout Catholic and a philosophical skeptic. While this opposition may seem paradoxical to both modern readers and Huet’s contemporaries, this thesis explains how Huet’s scandalous posthumous Treatise Concerning the Weakness of Human Understanding (1723) fits into the intellectual curriculum of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. By situating Huet in the intellectual context of Early-Modern France, this thesis demonstrates how philosophical skepticism became appealing to Catholic thinkers both as a polemic and as an epistemological stance in opposition to the rationalist transformation of pre-Enlightenment thought.

    Part 5: Some Spiritual & Moral Truths in Gen

    595 Part 5: Some Spiritual & Moral Truths in Gen. 1-11. Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Trinity. Chapter 3: The Fall. Chapter 4: Covenant of grace: justification by faith. Chapter 5: Racially mixed marriages & racial segregation. Chapter 6: Murder a capital crime. Chapter 7: Conclusion. (Part 5) CHAPTER 1 Introduction. In this Part 5 of Volume 2, some of the great theological truths and universal moral values found in Gen. 1-11 will be considered. On the one hand, these have all been considered to some extent already in various parts of Volume 1 (2014) & 2 (2014 & 2015) of Creation, Not Macroevolution – Mind the Gap , and only some elements of them will here be considered. But on the other hand, I think a specific Part 5 is warranted, in order to underscore and highlight the fact that the issues of Genesis 1-11 vis-à-vis issues to do with science, though important issues of our day, and important issues throughout most of historically modern times, are ultimately secondary issues . The primary issues relate to various spiritual and moral truths of Gen. 1-11, which is why e.g., both presuppositionalists and evidentialists can be found among religiously conservative Protestant Christians. In saying this, I do not wish to in anyway deny or backtrack on my comments in Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 1, section a, e.g., I there say, “on the one hand, I know of no Christian evidentialist who would be opposed to including the witness of Christian experience from various Christians as to the presence of Christ and his Spirit in their lives.
