Goswin Of Bossut
Goswin of Bossut ( 1231–1238) was a Cistercian monk, crusader, composer and writer of Villers Abbey in the Duchy of Brabant. Life Goswin is the author of three to five known works. He is, nevertheless, a shadowy figure. He was probably born around 1195 or 1200. Oral tradition from Villers, preserved in the ''Acta Sanctorum'', claims that he was from the village of . This was a French-speaking village and there are traces of Gallicisms in Goswin's writing, indicating that Goswin's first language was French. A family called De Bossut is known from the 12th century. Originally ''ministeriales'' of the dukes of Brabant, by the 13th century they had risen to the ranks of the nobility. It is likely that Goswin belonged to this family. A certain ''Gossuinus'', probably the monk, is mentioned as a member of the family in a charter issued by Bishop to Aulne Abbey in 1236. Goswin displays some familiarity with Paris and he may have been educated there. Internal evidence in his writings s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Orval Abbey
Orval Abbey (Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Orval) is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1132 in the Gaume region of Belgium and is located in Villers-devant-Orval, part of Florenville, Wallonia in the province of Luxembourg. The abbey is well known for its history and spiritual life but also for its local production of the Trappist beer Orval and a specific cheese. History First foundation The site has been occupied since the Merovingian period, and there is evidence that there was already a chapel here in the 10th century. In 1070, a group of Benedictine monks from Calabria settled here, at the invitation of Arnould, Count of Chiny, and Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg, and began construction of a church and a monastery, but after some forty years, possibly because of the death of Count Arnould, they moved away again. They were replaced by a community of Canons Regular, who completed the construction work: the abbey church was consecrated on 30 September 1124. In 1132, a group of Cis ...

Recension
Recension is the practice of editing or revising a text based on critical analysis. When referring to manuscripts, this may be a revision by another author. The term is derived from Latin ''recensio'' ("review, analysis"). In textual criticism (as is the case with Biblical scholarship) the count noun ''recension'' is a family of manuscripts sharing similar traits; for example, the Alexandrian text-type may be referred to as the "Alexandrian recension". The term ''recension'' may also refer to the process of collecting and analyzing source texts in order to establish a tree structure leading backward to a hypothetical original text. See also *Biblical manuscript *Categories of New Testament manuscripts *Critical apparatus A critical apparatus ( la, apparatus criticus) in textual criticism of primary source material, is an organized system of notations to represent, in a single text, the complex history of that text in a concise form useful to diligent readers and ...

Arnulf Cornibout
Arnulf is a masculine German given name. It is composed of the Germanic elements ''arn'' "eagle" and ''ulf'' "wolf". The ''-ulf, -olf'' suffix was an extremely frequent element in Germanic onomastics and from an early time was perceived as a mere suffix forming given names. Similarly, the suffix ''-wald, -ald, -old'', originally from ''wald'' "rule, power" underwent semantic weakening. Therefore, the name ''Arnulf'' and '' Arnold'' were often conflated in early medieval records, as is the case with bishop Arnulf of Metz (died 640), especially as the final consonant came to be dropped (''Arnoul''). The name ''Arnulf'' is attested from as early as the 5th century, as the name of the brother of Odoacer. The name is attested with some frequency in Medieval Germany throughout the 8th to 11th centuries, in the spelling variants ''Arnulf, Arnulph, Arnolf'', occasionally also as ''Arenulph, Harnulf, Harnolf, Harnolph''. In the 9th century, Arnulf of Carinthia was the ruler of East Fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lay Brother
Lay brother is a largely extinct term referring to religious brothers, particularly in the Catholic Church, who focused upon manual service and secular matters, and were distinguished from choir monks or friars in that they did not pray in choir, and from clerics in that they were not in possession of (or preparing for) holy orders. In female religious institutes, the equivalent role is the lay sister. Lay brother and lay sisters roles were originally created to allow those who were skilled in particular crafts or did not have the required education to learn Latin and to study. History “In early Western monasticism, there was no distinction between lay and choir religious. The majority of St. Benedict's monks were not clerics, and all performed manual labour, the word ''conversi'' being used only to designate those who had received the habit late in life, to distinguish them from the '' oblati'' and ''nutriti''. But, by the beginning of the 11th century, the time devoted to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
