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).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 4 of 6 IT was a sad and dreary time for England when first Norman William mounted the throne which he inherited from the blameless Edward. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 1 of 6: Written by Various Hands at the Suggestion of John Henry Newman The Lives of the English Saints, published in London by Mr. James Toovey in 1 844 - 4 5 and now reprinted for the first time in their entirety, are justly described as Newman's work in this present edition, although with their actual authorship he had little enough to do. But for him, however, they would never have been written. Not only was he the inspired and inspiring leader of the movement which had made it possible for English Churchmen to deal sympathetically with the lives of mediaeval saints in this particular instance the plan was originally his, and he allotted to each author what seemed his appropriate work. Further than this Newman, as we shall shortly see, did not go and what was done was a mere fragment of what he had proposed; but, none the less, in their genesis these Lives are Newman's; they have always been spoken of as such; and, so long as the limitations of his responsibility for them are made clear, they are rightly described as his.

Download or read book The Lives of the British Saints Vol 3 of 4 written by Sabine Baring-Gould and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the British Saints, Vol. 3 of 4: The Saints of Wales and Cornwall and Such Irish Saints as Have Dedications in Britain As has been already stated, under the head of Edeyrn, it is not possible to identify Faustus of Riez with the Faustus or Edeyrn, born of incest, son of Gwrtheyrn or Vortigern, as is apparently done by Nennius. Sidonius Apollinaris says that Faustus was the son of a noble and saintly British mother. He might possibly have so described the daughter of Vortigern, if her after life was spent in penance and devotion; but the chronology of Faustus cannot be made to fit in with that of a son of the British prince. Sidonius says nothing as to who was the father of Faustus, but that may be explained by supposing that the father was dead when he came to make the acquaintance of the son. Faustus can hardly have been born earlier than 400. Whilst young he went to Lerins, and it was probably whilst there that he became intimate with a fellow-countryman, a Bishop Rioc, or Riocatus, as Sidonius calls him, who paid two visits to Southern Gaul and the Province. In 434 Maximus, Abbot of Lerins, ascended the episcopal throne of Riez, and Faustus was elected in his room to preside over the monastic community. He must have been full young for so important a position; but as he lived till after 484, it is not possible to set back his birth much earlier than 400. His mother, at an advanced age, lived near him at Lerins. He had a brother, a priest, Memorius, under him; and in the society was likewise a brother of his correspondent Sidonius Apollinaris. At Lerins Faustus led a very strict life, was devoted to study, and strove to imitate the lives of the fathers of the Egyptian deserts. He wrote a letter to a deacon, named Gratus, who was infected with Nestorian errors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 6: St. Aelred, Abbot of Rievaux; St. William, Archbishop of York; St. Waltheof; St. Robert IT is often' said that things look on paper or on canvass very different from what they are in reality how Often is the traveller disappointed, on arriving at a spot of which he had read in poetry, or seen portrayed by a painter. We repeat over and over again to ourselves that it is beautiful, as if to persuade ourselves of it, and yet there is something wanting after all, we have seen woods as green, and streams as clear, and rocks as wild, and the ruined tower that looks over the stream is but a very poor ruin, as the baron who lived there was probably a very indifferent character. And yet were the poet or the painter so unfaithful as we sup pose They saw it under some particular aspect, when the sun was upon it, or when the woods were coloured by autumn, and they caught it at some moment when one Of Nature's endless combinations had made it look more than usually lovely. No two persons see the same scene under the same aspect it will not look to morrow as it does now, and yet it is the same sun, and B.
