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 ...

Saint Jordan Of Bristol
Jordan of Bristol ( la, Iordanus) was a saint venerated in Bristol, England, before the Reformation, about whom little is known with certainty. Traditionally, Jordan was considered a companion of Augustine of Canterbury who came to the South West of England in the early 7th century, founded a local church, and was later venerated as a saint. A chapel consecrated to Jordan is known to have existed on College Green in Bristol in the 14th century. From the 19th century, historians and genealogists began to question the traditional portrayal of Jordan's life and propose alternative theories about his identity, while others continued to support the traditional view. Life Jordan's background and the origins of his cult at Bristol are contested and unclear. A 15th century hymn to the saint describes him as a companion of Augustine of Canterbury who helped preach the gospel to the English and whose relics were later entombed at Bristol. According to David H. Higgins of Bristol Unive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jordanus (-), distinguished as JordanofSeverac ( la, Iordanus de Severaco; oc, Jordan de Severac; french: Jourdain de Séverac; it, Giordano di Séverac) or JordanofCatalonia ( la, Jordanus Catalanus; ca, Jordà de Catalunya), was a Catalan Dominican missionary and explorer in Asia known for his ''Mirabilia Descripta'' describing the marvels of the East. He was the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Quilon, the first Roman Catholic diocese in India. Travels Jordanus was perhaps born at Sévérac-le-Château, north-east of Toulouse. Possibly a disciple of Jerome de Catalonia, also known as Hieronymus Catalani, in 1302 Jordanus may have accompanied St Thomas of Tolentino, via Negropont, to the East; but it is only in 1321 that we definitely discover him in western India, in the company of Thomas and his companions. Ill-luck detained them at Thane in Salsette Island, near Bombay; and here Jordanus's companions were killed on 8 and 11 April 1321. Jordanus, esc ...

Jordanus De Nemore
Jordanus de Nemore (fl. 13th century), also known as Jordanus Nemorarius and Giordano of Nemi, was a thirteenth-century European mathematician and scientist. The literal translation of Jordanus de Nemore (Giordano of Nemi) would indicate that he was an Italian. Bertrand Gille, ''Les ingénieurs de la Renaissance''. He wrote treatises on at least 6 different important mathematical subjects: the science of weights; “algorismi” treatises on practical arithmetic; pure arithmetic; algebra; geometry; and stereographic projection. Most of these treatises exist in several versions or reworkings from the Middle Ages. We know nothing about him personally, other than the approximate date of his work.

Raymundus Jordanus
Raymundus Jordanus (fl. c. 1381), best known by his Latin nom de plume Idiota ("the Idiot"), though this identification is disputed by some, was a medieval Catholic writer whose identity remained unknown for some centuries. Biography and identity The pseudonym " idiot" need not be understood in the ordinary sense as now used. According to the original Greek, ''idiota'' means private (also as a soldier), simple, or peculiar, and it is probable that the writer in question employed it in this sense to signify that he was a person of no consequence. Théophile Raynaud discovered that Raymundus Jordanus was the author of the works found in the library of the Church Fathers under the name Idiota. In his preface to one of the works of Idiota, the , which he published in 1641, he accounts for this discovery by the testimony of idiotic writers, and by the fact that some of the original manuscripts had been signed by Raymundus. Biographical writers have, in general, accepted Raynaud's t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
