Laurentinus, Archbishop Of Split
Lawrence (Latin: ''Laurentinus''; Croatian: ''Lovro Dalmatinac''; died 8 July 1099) was a benedictine monk and Archbishop of Split (1060-1099).

He ordered Adam of Paris who happened to be in Split on the road from Paris to Athens to rewrite the old biographies of Saint Domnius and Saint Anastasia in a more beautiful Latin. The church of Split is said to have been quite wealthy during his tenure, because Lawrence was ''"respected by the kings and dukes of Sclavonia, who donated to the church of St. Domnius many villages and estates..."''.

11th-century Christian Saints
The 11th century is the period from 1001 ( MI) through 1100 ( MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynasty court created strife amongst th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...
