This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE life of St. Thomas of Canterbury is exceptionally well known. More than seven hundred years have elapsed since he died, and yet his history stands out before us with a distinctness and minuteness that is extremely rare among the records of great men. The witnesses to the facts are both numerous and trustworthy. They wrote of matters of which they had personal knowledge, and their writings were in the hands of those who were the most capable of judging of their truthfulness. The universal and vehement interest taken in all that concerned St. Thomas, while later on it may have caused an embroidery of legends to be attached to his name, would ensure attention to the minutest details while the story was yet fresh, and this is a guarantee for accuracy and care. The substantial agreement of several writers, evidently independent of one another, is a further assurance of fidelity. The personal character of the writers is above suspicion, and their ability manifest; and lastly, all that skilful editing can do for them has happily been done, and that too at the public expense. Benedict, a Inonk of Christ Church, Canterbury, is said by the editor of the Quadrilogue (about 1220) to have been on the day of the martyrdom among the Saint's more intimate friends, and to have recorded those things of which he was an ear or eye witness. He wrote only of the martyrdom and of the subsequent miracles. No copy of his narrative of the martyrdom exists, but considerable fragments have been preserved in the Quadrilogue. The miracles are now in six books. Of these the last two art: by another hand, as events are there related which happened after Benedict's death. He died in 1193 or 1194 at Peterborough, of which house he was made abbot in 1177. The fourth book of miracles is of about the date of Benedict's election as Abbot of Peterborough, for it mentions the great fire at Rochester, which occurred in the April of that year. But the work is not in strict chronological order, for after the passage relating to the fire, a letter is inserted addressed to Odo as Prior of Canterbury; but Odo was made Abbot of Battle, and Benedict himself became Prior of Canterbury in 1175. The first three books of miracles, according to Mr. Magnusson, formed the original volume, and all that is related in them happened during the seventeen months that fol1owed the martyrdom. In July, 1172, William was charged to record the miracles in addition to Benedict, who had fulfilled that office from the beginning. By this fact Mr. Magnusson ingeniously dates not Benedict only but Fitzstcphcn. For Fitzstephen says that there was a Codex which was read in the Chapter at Canterbury, which related the miracles wrought in England, and he adds that those in France, Ireland, and elsewhere had as yet no historian. This Codex was Benedict's volume, ending then with the third book; and Mr. Magnusson concludes that Benedict's three books were written before Fitzstephen's Life of St. Thomas; and further that Fitzstephen wrote before William of Canterbury began, that is within the first seventeen months. The argument is pressed perhaps a little too closely, as there would be but one Codex until William had made some progress with his work. Afterwards Gervase speaks of two volumes of miracles, Benedict's and Williams and the mention of one by Fitzstephen may fairly be taken to mean that there then was but one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. In the course of preparing a critical commentary on the Four Gospels, it became necessary to consider other instances of documents relating the same fact in different language, as the Gospels relate in different language the acts and words of Christ. A brief glance at the Materials for the History of Thomas Becket published under the direction of the Master of the Rolls, at once suggested extracts likely to afford useful illustrations. But afterwards, when more closely studied, those volumes seemed to present parallelisms to problems of New Testament criticism so exact and so helpful that, instead of forming a few paragraphs in the proposed work, the extracts and notes grew, first into a chapter, and then into a separate section. Up to this point, the audience in view being mainly students of theology, all extracts had been kept in their original Latin. But when it became needful to quote passages from the two books composed by Benedict and William of Canterbury on the Miracles of St. Thomas, many of the narratives seemed so fresh and interesting, so full of touches of perennial human nature, and often so instructive as to a past in danger of being forgotten, yet not to be forgotten without danger-that a change of front was made, so as to give the text in English as well as in Latin, thus throwing everything open to the general reader while retaining all that was of use for the student. The result has been that the "few paragraphs" have grown into a book of considerable size, and probably a book in which several blemishes of detail may be detected, owing, partly to the method of its evolution, and still more to the want of leisure for doing full justice to the subject. But on this last point there was no alternative. The claims of the main object did not allow time for more than this incidental excursion. Errors and imperfections in this somewhat hasty translation of ecclesiastical Latin will not (it is hoped) prevent the unlearned reader from deriving from it a fairly accurate notion of Becket's Miracles; and learned critics may forgive much to one who has given them, in almost every case of doubt or difficulty, the means of judging for themselves-by setting before them the original documents so classified as to save them a great deal of trouble, and so annotated as never to pass over any point that appeared open to question. It will be readily understood that, in this enlarged and separate form, the work rarely touches on New Testament criticism. Nevertheless the author is not without hope that it may be of some indirect service to theologians of all schools, in so far as all are, or ought to be, students of evidence. One reason why the criticism of the Gospels oscillates much, and progresses little, is that there has been little systematic study of other similar documents such as may be called Synoptic (like our first three Gospels) or Supplementary (like our fourth). On this subject, a vast superfluity of opinions coexists with a paucity of arranged materials for forming opinions, and with an almost complete absence of recognized rules of criticism. The object of this treatise, so far as it bears on theology, is to supply a store of classified facts that no reasonable critic can afford to despise. The translations of the extracts from Garnier's Vie de Saint Thomas le Martir have been revised by Mr. H. Symons, B.A., formerly Scholar of Wadham College, Oxford, Assistant in the Department of Printed Books in the British Museum. To him I am also indebted for the quotations from Godefroy bearing on points of difficulty; and without his aid I should not have ventured on publishing my attempts at a literal rendering of the original. The Étude Historique on Gamier by E. Étienne (Paris, 1883) did not come to my notice till the first volume of this work was in type.

Book excerpt: The murder of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 is one of the most famous events in English history, creating shock waves which reverberated across Europe. His shrine at Canterbury (destroyed in 1538) became the most famous in Christendom, and after his canonisation the cult of St Thomas of Canterbury was the most important of any English saint. Millions of pilgrims have made the journey to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine and the site of the martyrdom. In modern times his life and death have been celebrated in music, literature, theatre and film. The story of Becket's life and work shows why it has continued to fascinate and enthral across the centuries. A brilliant young man, he studied in London and Paris, and after entering the service of Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury, in Bologna and Auxerre. He accompanied Theobald to Rome to enlist the support of Pope Eugenius III for Henry Plantagenet's claim to the English throne, and after Henry's accession as Henry II in 1154 Thomas became the new king's Chancellor. Becket's relations with Henry deteriorated after 1162, when he unwillingly accepted the position of Archbishop of Canterbury, and championed the rights of the Church in opposition to the wishes of the king. The conflict between the two men reached its tragic climax on the evening of 29th December 1170, when Thomas was murdered by four of Henry's knights in a side chapel of his own cathedral. . Here is a popular introduction to the life and work of this important English saint. Michael Green has spent most of his life in Kent, and in retirement took a degree in Social Science at Canterbury Christ Church University College. Married for fifty years and an active member of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Thomas of Canterbury, Vol. 2 of 2: His Death and Miracles A Canterbury Doctor, Fermin by name, saw (as early as Whitsuntide in II 70) a procession passing by the bell-tower of the Cathedral. The King and the Archbishop were there, cheerfully riding together. A cross was borne before them, and a voice from heaven said, Whosoever can touch this cross, and place on it pure gold and precious stones - their names shall be written in the Book of Life. Then the Archbishop placed gold in great quantity and precious stones on the crown that was above the cross. Likewise also the King, although long afterwards, was seen 1 to have done the same.
