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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints St. Wulstan's history has many points of interest. He was the last Saint of the Anglo-Saxon Church. His name closed the roll of that company so excellent and numerous, which gained for England the title of the Isle of Saints. He was the link between the old English Church and hierarchy and the Norman; he saw the ruin of his people, but was spared himself. And he was a type and representative, as complete perhaps as could be found, of the religious character of the Anglo-Saxon Church; plain, homely, and simple-hearted, cherishing a popular and domestic piety, rather dwelling on the great broad truths of the gospel, than following them into their results; scrupulous and earnest in devotion; without the refinement, learning, and keen thought of the Normans, yet full of fresh and genuine feeling. Wulstan was a monk indeed, and an ascetic, but his vocation lay not in the learned school or meditative cloister, but among the people of the market-place and the village, - his rough, yet hearty and affectionate countrymen.

Download or read book Lives and Legends of the Evangelists Apostles and Other Early Saints Classic Reprint written by Arthur Bell and published by Forgotten Books. 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 Lives of the English Saints: St. Gilbert, Prior of Sempringham And race. If he was stern, it was with a calm and majestic sternness, very different from the bestial fury of his son the Red King. On his death-bed he de elared that it was on principle that he had put in prison innocent men, because they were dangerous.1 In the beginning of his reign England had a prospect of peace, when he went back to Normandy and dis played to his noble visitors the beauty of the long haired sons of England and its gold-tipped drinking horns, and congratulated himself on his easy conquest. His policy in the first years of his reign tended to effect a quiet and gradual amalgamation of the Norman and Saxon races. He married Saxon maidens to his nobles, and though he gave the lands of Englishmen to his followers, yet on the other hand he transplanted Englishmen to the continent and endowed them with Norman fiefs. His administration of the law, though stern, was rigidly just, and it was said that a girl laden with gold might pass through England unharmed. He did not Oppress the poor it was rather the noble who felt his iron yoke, and probably the Saxon serf was not worse off under his Norman lord than under the Saxon Thane. The Englishmen had already begun to clip their long hair and to adopt Norman fashions, when the rising under earl Morcar took place, and the bean tiful and generous Edwin treacherously perished, to the universal grief of England. The Conqueror shed some tears over him, but from that moment he seems to have been convinced that a gentle hand could not rule Eng land, and his inexorable policy began. Again, it should not be forgotten that in his exercise of Church pa tronage, he was free from simony, the besetting sin of.
