John Of Cornwall (theologian)
John of Cornwall, in Latin Johannes Cornubiensis or Johannes de Sancto Germano was a Christianity, Christian scholar and teacher, who was living in Paris about 1176. He is not to be confused with the fourteenth-century John of Cornwall (grammarian), John of Cornwall who expounded Latin at his grammar school in English instead of French. There was also an archdeacon of Worcester called John of Cornwall around 1197, who probably was a different person. Life and writings Little is known of his life. From his names, it is surmised that he was a native of St Germans, Cornwall, St Germans in Cornwall. He studied with Peter Lombard in Paris, and wrote ''Eulogium ad Alexandrum Papam III, quod Christus sit aliquis homo'', a treatise refuting Abelard's doctrine that the humanity of Jesus was only a garment clothing the Logos. The ''Eulogium'' (dated 1176 or later) was printed by Edmond Martène in ''Thesaurus novus anecdotum'' (Paris, 1717), and by Jacques Paul Migne's in ''Patrologia Lati ...

Prophecy Of Merlin
''Prophecy of Merlin'' (''Prophetia Merlini''), sometimes called ''The Prophecy of Ambrosius Merlin concerning the Seven Kings'', is a 12th-century poem written in Latin hexameters by John of Cornwall, which he claimed was based or revived from a lost manuscript in the Cornish language. The original manuscript is unique and currently held in a codex at the Vatican Library. Synopsis The text is an example of the popular prophetic writings attributed to the sage Merlin, which ascribe to the early bard prophecies relevant to the author's time. In this case the prophecies relate to the struggle between Stephen of Blois and the Empress Matilda, but the poem also contains local Cornish allusions of great interest. History The translations were made sometime between 1141 and 1155, at the request of Robert Warelwast, Bishop of Exeter. John of Cornwall undertook to expound the prophecy of Merlin ''iuxta nostrum Britannicum''. He produced a poem of 139 hexameters and prose commentary on ...

Medieval Cornish People
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the late 5th to the late 15th centuries, similar to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—most recently part of the Eastern Roman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From St Germans, Cornwall
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
