Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of Saint Ursula and Her Companions in Cologne: Its Memorials, Monuments and Curiosities As early as the second century, Christianity was spread over the Southern part of the British island. This part was subject to the Roman Empire; and by that means a connexion between it and Rome, the capital of Christianity was kept up, and thus the Gospel easily found its way from Rome to Britain. The Picts and Scots ho wever, the inhabitants of the northern part of the Island, still remained in infidelity. At the beginning of the century, nearly the whole population of the many small kingdoms into which the Southern part was divided were Chris tians. About the middle of the same century when the Romans had left Britain, the Christians of the Southern part were sorely oppressed by their infidel neighbours, the Picts and Scots. To resist these enemies they called in to their aid the anglo-saxons, a courageous but infidel people who inhabited the countries now called Holstein and Schleswig as far as J iitland. The warlike anglo-saxons came in bodies, and landed on the neighbouring British shore in the year 449. Victory crowned their efforts against the Picts and Scots whom they compelled to retire from the South of Britain. But when they had seen the beauty of that country as well as learnt its fertility, they began to covet, it for their own. Accorddingly they turned their arms against thosewho had called them over, and a terrible fate met the Christians of Southern Britain. Driven from their own homes, some fled to the West, some crossed the sea, whilst slavery became the lot of others. Many of the British Christians fled to the Continent, some to Batavia and some to Gaul expecting to find a safe asylum there amongst the Christians. Of those who went to Batavia many proceeded still further along the Rhine in order to seek refuge in the districts of the Lower Rhine which still enjoyed peace and tran quility unter the Roman government. In this way, they reachad Cologne, the old Roman colony. Amongst these British fugitives, there were many virgins whose fathers and brothers had been slain 1n the wars with the anglo-saxons. One of them of royal blood surpassed the rest in nobility of birth and intelligence as well as in piety and virtue. Her name was Ursula. She was the leader and model of her companions and seems to have been acknowledged and honoured by them as their head. In the Christian city of Cologne where the British fugitives were received with great kindness, the royal virgin was honoured and venerated by all, and she soon became to all the women and maidens there, as she had before been of her companions, their model and example.

Download or read book Hystoria Gweryddon Yr Almaen written by Jane Cartwright and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Welsh literature is rich in hagiographical lore and numerous Welsh versions of the Lives of saints are extant, recording the legends of both native and universal saints. Although the cult of St Ursula and the 11,000 virgins is well known internationally, this is the first time that a scholarly edition of her Welsh legend has been published in its entirety. Hystoria Gweryddon yr Almaen was adapted into Welsh by Sir Huw Pennant and it survives in a unique manuscript – Aberystwyth, National Library of Wales, Peniarth MS 182 (c. 1509–1514). The edition is accompanied by a full glossary, as well as detailed textual and linguistic notes, and information on the development and transmission of the legend. The peculiarities of the Welsh text are considered in the introduction as well as the similarities it shares with other versions. The volume also considers the wider cultural context of the legend and discusses the Welsh cult of St Ursula and her companions. Welsh tradition claims that Ursula was Welsh and she became associated with the church at Llangwyryfon in Ceredigion and other minor Welsh chapels.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work, it is hoped, will supply a want long felt in the literature of the Catacombs. That literature, it is true, is very voluminous; but it is for the most part locked up in rare and costly folios in foreign languages, and inaccessible to the general reader. Recent discoveries have refuted some of the theories and corrected many of the statements of previous books in English on this subject; and the present volume is the only one in which the latest results of exploration are fully given, and interpreted from a Protestant point of view. The writer has endeavored to illustrate the subject by frequent pagan sepulchral inscriptions, and by citations from the writings of the Fathers, which often throw much light on the condition of early Christian society. The value of the work is greatly enhanced, it is thought, by the addition of many hundreds of early Christian inscriptions carefully translated, a very large proportion of which have never before appeared in English. Those only who have given some attention to epigraphical studies can conceive the difficulty of this part of the work. The defacements of time, and frequently the original imperfection of the inscriptions and the ignorance of their writers, demand the utmost carefulness to avoid errors of interpretation. The writer has been fortunate in being assisted by the veteran scholarship of the Rev. Dr. McCaul, well known in both Europe and America as one of the highest living authorities in epigraphical science, under whose critical revision most of the translations have passed. Through the enterprise of the publishers this work is more copiously illustrated, from original and other sources, than any other work on the subject in the language; thus giving more correct and vivid impressions of the unfamiliar scenes and objects delineated than is possible by any mere verbal description. References are given, in the foot-notes, to the principal authorities quoted, but specific acknowledgment should here be made of the authorÕs indebtedness to the Cavaliere De RossiÕs Roma Sotterranea and Inscriptiones Christian¾, by far the most important works on this fascinating but difficult subject. Believing that the testimony of the Catacombs exhibits, more strikingly than any other evidence, the immense contrast between primitive Christianity and modern Romanism, the author thinks no apology necessary for the somewhat polemical character of portions of this book which illustrate that fact. He trusts that it will be found a contribution of some value to the historical defense of the truth against the corruptions and innovations of Popish error.
