ELLIS First issue of this Edition, 1900 Reprinted 1922, 1931 1 The Life of S. Edward The Life of S. Edward Here followeth the Life of S. Edward, King and Confessor In old time the realm of England was greatly troubled with the Danes, so that in many kings’ days there could no peace be made, but continually war. And the Danes prevailed against England, and they brought it under their subjection, for their cruelty and tyranny was so great that, without sparing of anything, they burnt and destroyed. But at the last it pleased Almighty God that this tyranny should cease, and sent of his grace unto this realm of England a peaceable king named Edgar, in whose birth angels sang that peace should be in his time, and so in his days was no war in England. S. Edward, king and martyr, his son, reigned not long after him, for his stepmother did do slay him in his young age, because her son Ethelred should reign, and S. Dunstan baptized Ethelred, and said because he defiled the fontstone that, he should live in great trouble, and so he did, for the Danes warred all his time. And this Ethelred wedded Earl Godwin’s daughter, on whom he gat Edmond Ironside. And after the death of that queen, he wedded the daughter of Richard, duke of Normandy, which hight Emma, by whom he had two sons, Alfred and Edward, which was a saint and confessor, of whom we purpose to speak. When king Ethelred was fallen in age, he made a parliament which of his two sons should be kings after him. And then by the provision of God it was concluded that Edward, which was not then born in his mother’s belly, should be king, and excluded Edmond Ironside and Alfred, which were the king’s older sons. And when the king had consented thereto, a general oath was made to perform the same in time coming. And after, when this child was born, all the land enjoyed in his birth, hoping to be greatly relieved by him. Yet always the cruelty of the Danes was so great, which the king so much doubted, that he sent the queen and his two sons Alfred and Edward, into Normandy, and took his oldest son Edmond with him to battle, to fight against the Danes. The sorrow was then great in England, for much people turned to the Danes against their own king, and without pity did burn and slay their own country with the Danes, among whom was slain Alphage, archbishop of Canterbury at Greenwich, and many other good men. And some bishops, priests, and men of religion, fled into secret places and deserts, where they devoutly prayed unto Almighty God for to have very peace in this land, but this war continued all the life of Ethelred, according to the prophecy of S. Dunstan. And after Ethelred, reigned Edmond Ironside his son, in full great trouble, for in his days no man durst trust other, ne open his courage to his neighbour, for that time each man appeached other of treason, to the intent that he might have his good. And they that were not of power to overcome their neighbours, turned unto the Danes against their own neighbours, and so, by the help of the Danes, they fulfilled their cursed purpose, and so there was much extortion, and much people slain in divers places, in houses, fields and ways, 2 The Life of S. Edward that the people unnethe durst bury them. Also in that time was great tyranny, murder, op- pressing of women, as wives, widows, and maidens against their wills. And in this persecution Englishmen were nigh destroyed, and great desolation was in holy church, for monasteries, churches, and houses of religion were burnt and destroyed, which caused many to flee into wilderness, among whom the good bishop of Winchester, Brightwold, fled into the abbey of Glastonbury, where he daily prayed unto Almighty God for peace of this realm of England. Our blessed Lord, seeing his meekness, showed to him a vision by which he was greatly comforted. For in a night, as he was in his oratory, he fell in a sweet slumber, and saw the glorious apostle S. Peter with bright shining clothes appearing in a high place of dignity, and with him a seemly young man richly arrayed in clothing of a king, whom S. Peter did consecrate and anoint into a king, and commending his chastity greatly, and his clean living. And it was showed to this bishop many years tofore, that this Edward should reign in this land, and the bishop, being abashed of this vision, desired of S. Peter to know the vision thereof, to whom S. Peter said the estate of this realm, and told that the fury and woodness of the Danes should cease soon after, and said that all this punishment was for the sins of the people, and God should purvey for a peaceable king, which shall finish all the woodness of his enemies the Danes. In whose time shall be plenty of peace, both to the church and to the land, and great abundance of corn and fruit. And this realm shall be prosperous in all things, and the people shall be of such conditions that other lands shall both love and dread them. The king’s name shall be Edward, which shall rule all manner things to the pleasing of God, and shall end his life in the love of our Lord graciously. And when this holy bishop awoke, he kneeled down and made his prayers with shedding of tears, and though that peace was not yet reformed, nevertheless he thanked Almighty God that he was certain that, by God’s grace, he should see it in his days, wherefore he went about and preached to the people for to do penance, and our Lord should show to us mercy, and give to us peace and all things plenteous. And in this war was the king slain by treason, and he was buried at Glastonbury. Then both his sons were brought to King Canute the Dane, to do with them what he would, and when he saw them he might not for pity slay them, but sent them over the sea to be slain there, so that he might reign in England peaceably when the rightful blood was des- troyed. Notwithstanding, they were preserved and kept alive, and were conveyed to the emperor of Rome, the which kept them till S. Edward was made king of England, and then he married the oldest of them to a cousin of his, because of the love that they had to King Edward, which was uncle to them. Then had King Canute the rule of England by strong hand, all law and good rule set aside. For in his days was full much trouble and robbery with other great oppressions and importable charges among the commonalty.

    LEONARDO DA VINCI’S SAINT JEROME IN THE WILDERNESS: AN IMAGE OF SPIRITUAL BEAUTY by LINDSAY MARIE COX (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT Leonardo da Vinci’s Saint Jerome is an unconventional representation of a religious figure. Renaissance saints were typically endowed with appropriate physical markers such as beauty and grace; however, Jerome is haggard and aged. This paper will endeavor to reveal the importance of Leonardo’s unusual aesthetic choices as well as illuminate the congruencies between the Saint Jerome and Donatello’s Penitent Magdalen. Donatello’s sculpture, which features a similarly haggard and elderly Magdalen, represents a critical prototype for Leonardo’s Saint Jerome. This paper will also argue that these two works are images of the perfect penitent. The saints’ weathered and emaciated exteriors emphasize their humanity and transform them into emblems of wisdom and redemption. In both the Saint Jerome and the Penitent Magdalen, there is an important message about the beauty, determination, and strength of the human soul.

    The Golden Legend or Lives Of The Saints Compiled by Jacobus de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa, 1275 Englished by William Caxton, First Edition 1483 From the Temple Classics Edited by F.S. Ellis 90// HERE BEGINNETH THE LIFE OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE AND DOCTOR THE PERSECUTIONS OF ST. PAUL t. Paul the apostle, after his conversion, suffered many persecutions, the which the blessed SHilary rehearseth shortly, saying: Paul the apostle was beaten with rods at Philippi, he was put in prison, and by the feet fast set in stocks, he was stoned in Lystra. In Iconia and Thessalonica he was pursued of [by] wicked people. In Ephesus he was delivered to wild beasts. In Damascus he was let by a lepe down of [freed by leaping down from] the wall. In Jerusalem he was arrested, beaten, bound, and awaited to be slain. In Cæsarea he was enclosed and defamed. Sailing towards Italy he was in peril of death, and from thence he came to Rome and was judged under Nero, and there finished his life. This saith St. Hilary. Paul is as much to say as the mouth of a trumpet or of sense; or marvellously chosen, or a miracle of election. Or Paul is said of HIS MIRACLES pause, that is rest, in Hebrew, or it is said little, in Latin. And by this be understood six prerogatives which Paul had before the aul took upon him to be apostle other apostles. The first is a fruitful tongue, for he replenished among the Gentiles. In Lystra [spread?] the gospel from Jerusalem to Jericho, and therefore he P is said the mouth of a trump.

  • Contemporary Flags of the Ukrainian Regions: Old Traditions and New Designs
    Contemporary flags of the Ukrainian regions: Old traditions and new designs Andriy Grechylo Abstract Ukraine consists of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and 24 oblasts (regions or provinces). The new law on local self-governments, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine in 1997, allowed local authorities to confirm the coats of arms, flags, and other symbols of oblasts, rayons (districts), cities, towns, and villages. Over the last six years, all oblasts have adopted their own symbols. Most of them have already adopted regional flags. Many of these flags have old historical signs and colours (Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, etc.), but some oblasts have chosen new designs (Donetsk, Cherkasy, Kherson, and others). Ukraine is divided into 25 administrative territories — 24 oblasts (provinces or re- gions) and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Two cities, Kyiv and Sevastopol, have a special, national status. The oblast borders have remained unchanged since 1959, when Drohobych oblast was joined to the Lviv oblast (Fig. 1). After the disintegration of the Ruthenian Kingdom (Galician-Volynian State) in the middle of the 14th c., the Ukrainian lands were divided among various neighbour- ing countries. During this time the arms of separate administrative territories were used. When Ukraine was absorbed into the USSR, none of the oblasts possessed their own arms or flag. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of Ukrainian independence did a process of the formation of symbols of administrative territories begin. The first regional coat of arms was ratified for the Transcarpathian (Zakarpattya) oblast in December 1990. In 1992 the symbols of Crimea, which received the status of an autonomous republic, were adopted.

  • What Happened to the Apostles / Christian Leaders? Source: Fox's Book of Martyrs and Others: 1 1. PETER
    What happened to the apostles / Christian leaders? Source: Fox’s Book of Martyrs and others: 1. PETER - Among many other saints, the blessed apostle Peter was condemned to death, and crucified, as some do write, at Rome; albeit some others, and not without cause, do doubt thereof. Hegesippus saith that Nero sought matter against Peter to put him to death; which, when the people perceived, they entreated Peter with much ado that he would fly the city. Peter, through their importunity at length persuaded, prepared himself to avoid. But, coming to the gate, he saw the Lord Christ come to meet him, to whom he, worshipping, said, "Lord, whither dost Thou go?" To whom He answered and said, "I am come again to be crucified." By this, Peter, perceiving his suffering to be understood, returned into the city. Jerome saith that he was crucified, his head being down and his feet upward, himself so requiring, because he was (he said) unworthy to be crucified after the same form and manner as the Lord was. 2. JAMES, son of Zebedee - The next martyr we meet with, according to St. Luke, in the History of the Apostles' Acts, was James the son of Zebedee, the elder brother of John, and a relative of our Lord; for his mother Salome was cousin-german to the Virgin Mary. It was not until ten years after the death of Stephen that the second martyrdom took place; for no sooner had Herod Agrippa been appointed governor of Judea, than, with a view to ingratiate himself with them, he raised a sharp persecution against the Christians, and determined to make an effectual blow, by striking at their leaders.
