Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Barontius And Desiderius
:''"Barontius" is also the name of a martyr associated with Saint Crispoldus.'' Barontius (Barontus) (french: Baronce, it, Baronto, Baronzio) and Desiderius (french: Dizier, it, Desiderio) were two 8th century hermits who are venerated as saints by the Catholic Church. They were hermits near Pistoia, in Italy. Barontius had been a Frankish nobleman of Berry who had, with his son, been a monk at Saint-Pierre de Longoret (Longoreto, Longoretum, Lonrey) (diocese of Bourges), now the monastery of Saint-Cyran-du-Jambot. Barontius was a former member of the court of Theuderic II.

Desiderius Of Vienne
Desiderius of Vienne (died 607) was a martyred archbishop of Vienne and a chronicler. Life Nothing is known about his early years. In 603, in a conflict with Brunhilda of Austrasia, the legitimacy of whose children he had attacked, he was deposed after she combined forces with Aridius, bishop of Lyon. He was stoned to death, some years later, at the order of King Theuderic II of Burgundy. He was rebuked by Gregory the Great for his interest in the pagan classics, in a letter provoked by the schooling he was providing for his clergy. Veneration He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, with his feast days on May 26. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, his feast is celebrated on May 23 because of confusing him with Desiderius of Langres. A hagiographical work was written about him by the Visigothic king Sisebuto, during the 7th century.E.g. Bryan Ward-Perkins, ''The Fall of Rome: And the End of Civilization'' (2006), p. 166; Jacques Fontaine, "King Sisebut's ''Vita D ...

Desiderius Of Fontenelle
Waningus (also Vaneng) (born in Rouen, died c. 683) was a Merovingian count and royal official under Clotaire III. He assisted Wandrille in establishing Fontenelle Abbey, and later founded Fécamp Abbey. He is recognized as a Christian saint. Life Born in Rouen, Waningus was governor of the Pays de Caux in Neustria. Waningus was both pious, and fond of hunting. He had a particular devotion to Saint Aulaire. One night he dreamt that she reminded him of the difficulties the rich had in entering heaven. Around 648, he withdrew from court to assist Wandrille in founding Fontenelle Abbey, helping to endow it. Fontenelle followed the Rule of Saint Columbanus. About ten years later, after recovering from a serious illness, Waningus founded the Church of the Holy Trinity and the adjoining Abbaye de la Trinité de Fécamp for nuns. Around 675, the blinded bishop Leodegar was sent to Fecamp, where the nuns tended him with care, until in October 678 he was removed at the instance of th ...

Desiderius Of Cahors
Saint Didier, also known as Desiderius ( AD – November 15, traditionally 655), was a Merovingian-era royal official of aristocratic Gallo-Roman extraction. He succeeded his own brother, Rusticus of Cahors, as bishop of Cahors and governed the diocese, which flourished under his care, from 630 to 655. Didier's career, like that of his brothers, is an example of a church and a monastic system controlled by the ruling, landholding class that was closely linked to the Merovingian monarchy. "This was no innovation of this period, but rather represented a continuation of a state of affairs which had existed since late Roman and early Merovingian times". Life Born in the oppidum of Albi about the year 580, to a father with the expressly Christian name of Salvius and a literate mother with the Frankish name Herchenfreda, Desiderius had two brothers, named Rusticus and Syagrius. The three boys were sent to the court of the Frankish king Clotaire II (584–629; from 613 sole sovereign), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Desiderius Of Auxerre
Desiderius, also known as Daufer or Dauferius (born – died ), was king of the Lombards in northern Italy, ruling from 756 to 774. The Frankish king of renown, Charlemagne, married Desiderius's daughter and subsequently conquered his realm. Desiderius is remembered for this connection to Charlemagne and for being the last Lombard ruler to exercise regional kingship. Rise to power Born in Brescia, Desiderius was originally a royal officer, the ''dux'' of Tuscia and he became king after the death of Aistulf in 756. At that time, Aistulf's predecessor, Ratchis, left his monastic retreat of Montecassino and tried to seize the kingdom, but Desiderius put his revolt down quickly with the support of Pope Stephen II. At his coronation, Desiderius promised to restore many lost papal towns to the Holy See and even enlarge the Papal State. By 757, Desiderius began securing his power, taking what historian Walter Goffart terms, "vigorous steps to suppress resistance to himself in the po ...

Desiderius (lector)
Saint Proculus (Proclus) of Pozzuoli ( it, San Procolo) was martyred around 305 AD, according to Christian tradition, at the same time as Saint Januarius.

Proculi'' were kept at the Archivio della Curia of Pozzuoli before being published for the first time in 1867 at Paris by the Jesuit Bollandist Stilting. In addition, the ''Atti Bolognesi'', conserved in a codex dating from 1180, also provides information about these martyrs; this codex was kept at the Celestine monastery of San Stefano at Bologna.

Desiderius Of Aquitaine
Desiderius (died 587) was a Gallo-Roman ''dux'' in the Kingdom of the Franks during the reigns of Chilperic I and Guntram. He served Chilperic as Duke of Aquitaine and was his greatest general. When Sigebert I of Austrasia died in 575, Chilperic sent Desiderius to invade his kingdom, but Guntram of Burgundy sent the patrician Mummolus against him and Desiderius was defeated and forced to retreat, leaving Austrasia to Sigebert's son Childebert II. The following year, with the armies of Bladast and Berulf, surrounded the territory of Bourges. They subsequently devastated the Touraine, as recorded by the then bishop of Tours, Gregory, the historian. In 583, Chilperic gave the province of Aquitaine to him and Bladast and sent them into Vasconia with a large army. They were defeated and most of the army destroyed. When Chilperic died (584), Desiderius went to Toulouse to secure the treasure imparted to Chilperic's daughter Riguntha, betrothed to Reccared, son of Leovigild, King of Spa ...

Desiderius Hampel
Desiderius Hampel (20 January 1895 – 11 January 1981) was a ''SS- Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS'' during World War II who commanded the 13th ''Waffen'' Mountain Division of the SS ''Handschar'' (1st Croatian) and was possibly awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (''Ritterkreuz''), the highest award in the military and paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany during World War II. After the war the Yugoslavian government asked for his extradition to charge him with war crimes, but he managed to escape from a British internment camp. Early life Desiderius Hampel was born 20 January 1895 in the town of Sisak, Austria-Hungary (modern-day Croatia), to ''Volksdeutsche'' (ethnic German) parents. His father was an inspector on the Imperial-Royal Austrian State Railways, and the family often had to move around the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This had the benefit of teaching the young Hampel a number of languages. After he completed his primary school education, he w ...

Desiderius, Abbot Of Monte Cassino
Pope Victor III ( 1026 – 16 September 1087), was the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 24 May 1086 to his death. He was the successor of Pope Gregory VII, yet his pontificate is far less notable than his time as Desiderius, the great abbot of Montecassino. His failing health was the factor that made him so reluctant to accept his pontifical election and his health was so poor that he fell to illness during his coronation. The only literary work of his that remains is his "Dialogues" on the miracles performed by Benedict of Nursia and other saints at Montecassino. Pope Leo XIII beatified him on 23 July 1887. Family Daufer was born in 1026. He obtained permission to enter the monastery of S. Sophia at Benevento. Abbacy The life at S. Sophia was not strict enough for the young monk, who betook himself first to the island monastery of Tremite San Nicolo in the Adriatic and in 1053 to the hermits at Majella in the Abruzzi. About this time he was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
