This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Legends of the English Bishops and Kings, Mediaeval Monks, and Other Later Saints A very noteworthy feature of the first half of the period treated in this, the third and last volume of 'the Saints in Christian Art, ' is the great number of anglo-saxons who have been admitted to the hierarchy of the saints. To this fact due prominence has been given, although, unfortunately, there exist but few works of art in which they are introduced, the result, of course, to a great extent, of the ruthless destruction after the Reformation of all that could recall the memory of the men who had upheld the rights of the Church, but still more to there having been no national school of religious art in England, such as was so long the glory of Italy, and in a minor degree of Germany and of the Netherlands. Beginning with the first Bishops of Canterbury, the narrative in the present volume passes on to tell of the great work, in the North of England, of Saints Paulinus and Aidan, aided by their royal converts Saints Edwin and Oswald, and of their successors.

This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Legends of the English Bishops and Kings, Medieval Monks, and Other Later Saints IT would be impossible to over-estimate the interest and im portance of the history of the Church, as re ected in the lives of its noblest members, between the seventh and eighteenth centuries, during which, in spite of all the political and social changes continually taking place, the light of the true faith was kept burning by generation after generation of holy men and women, who, however much they may have differed in race, in character, and in position, were alike in their devotion to the Master they all served, and their readiness to lay down their lives for Him. A very noteworthy feature of the first half of the period treated in this, the third and last volume of 'the Saints in Christian Art, ' is the great number of anglo-saxons who have been admitted to the hierarchy of the saints. To this fact due prominence has been given, although, unfortunately, there exist but few works of art in which they are introduced, the result, of course, to a great extent, of the ruthless destruction after the Reformation of all that could recall the memory of the men who had upheld the rights of the Church, but still more to there having been no national school of religious art in England, such as was so long the glory of Italy, and in a minor degree of Germany and of the Netherlands.

The visitation seemed to be too frightful to resist there was no help for the miserable people in the king and his chiefs on all sides was treachery, cowardice, or hopeless imbecility and weakness; all that the great men found to do, was to plunder also, in order to bribe the Danes meanwhile, as long as they might, they feasted and revelled.

This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Legends of the Evangelists, Apostles, and Other Early Saints Full of interest, too, is the way in which certain legends have been restored to their rightful owners, after having been filched from them and given to other Saints by devotees more eager to glorify the memory of their own favourite patrons than to adhere strictly to the truth. As one instance amongst many may be quoted the quaint story of the resuscitation of a man who had been hanged, in which a cock and hen play a curious part, generally related in connection with St. James the Elder, but really originally told of St. Dominick de la Calzada, who lived many centuries later than the Apostle, and made, or mended, the road used by pilgrims to the shrine of St. James of Compostella, a fact which may perhaps account for the confusion which has sometimes arisen between him and the patron Saint of Spain. Amongst the Saints noticed in the present volume will be found some few whose names are scarcely known in England, yet whose claims to recognition are undoubted on account not only of their sanctity, but because they have all their distinc tive emblems, and are occasionally introduced in Church decora tion and other works of sacred art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints: St. Aelred, Abbot of Rievaux Saints, because the view which we have of them is in all cases coloured by the reverence of the Christian world, and yet it is by no means falsified. It is history with the perpetual interpretation of Christendom the mind of the Church acting upon facts in the life of one of her children. It may be quite true that in many instances false miracles or actions which may be proved never to have taken place, may have been ascribed to them. All unknown monk in some obscure monastery may have written a life of a Saint, merely putting together all the traditions which remained of him, without caring to separate the true from the false but still the result of the whole may be true and the general aspect in which Christendom views the Saint may be the right one, though some particular stories may be false. How few in many instances are the facts known about some of the Saints in the middle ages. Their parentage is often forgotten, and the history of their early years unknown or perhaps the names of their parents are preserved with the vague and suspi cions addition that they were of very noble birth. Some few great deeds are on record, but the internal struggles which led to them are all forgotten all at once they appear before us as perfect Saints, as if no discipline had been required to form them. We are left to eke out the scanty materials of their lives with what we know must have happened, from the character of the times and from the manners of the age. And yet perhaps we should hardly regret this the picture of a Saint with the aureole round his head and the meek expression of joy on his features, may be unlike what he was in his lifetime, and yet it may be the more like what he is in heaven now. And after all, if we had come close to him, a real living Saint, should we have. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 6 of 6 The sources for the life of St. Edmund, though not copious, are of peculiar value and authority, having been written by persons intimately acquainted with him, and that within six years after his death. i. B. A Life by Bertrand, one of the archbishop's attendant clerks, and faithfully attached to him. He was spoken of by Archbishop Albert as "discipulus quem diligebat pater Edmundus, et secretorum ejus conscius." After the archbishop's death, he entered the Cistercian order at Pontigny, of which he became prior in 1249. The most complete copy of this Life is that printed, from a copy taken of the original once at Pontigny, in Martene and Durand, Thesaurus Anecdotorum, vol. iii. Besides the writer's own means of information, it contains all the particulars furnished by the testimonials which were sent in during the inquiry preceding the canonisation. The writer speaks of himself as relating "the things which he had heard and seen." This Life with considerable variation of language, and with some slight additional facts, is found in three Cotton MSS: Cleop. B. i., Faust. B. i., Jul. D. vi., in a Lambeth MS. (No. 135), in Surius (Nov. 16), in Vincent of Beauvais (Speculum Histor.), in John of Tinmouth (MS. in Lambeth Library), and in a Bodleian MS. (Fell 3).

The nobles were wandering about among the woods and forests of the land, and living like robbers among the impassable marshes of the country; while Edgar, England's darling, was an exile in Scotland.1 Her pleasant homes were turned into military fast nesses, for each man fortified his dwelling; and as he closed door and window at night, the head of the family said Benedicite, and the household responded Dominus, not knowing whether their homestead might not be burned over their heads at night.2 Who can tell the horrors inflicted on those of English blood by Odo, the Bishop of.
