St Canice's Cathedral ( ga, Ardeaglais Naomh Cainneach, ), also known as Kilkenny Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Kilkenny city, Ireland.

Nicholas Bozon
Nicholas Bozon (''Floruit, fl.'' ), or ''Nicole Bozon'', was an Anglo-Normans, Anglo-Norman writer and Franciscan friar who spent most of his life in the East Midlands and East Anglia. He was a prolific author in prose and verse, and composed a number of hagiographies of women saints, reworkings of fables, and allegories. Life What we know of Bozon is what can be inferred from his work. He may have belonged to the Bozon family of Whissonsett, Norfolk, or to the Bozon family from Screveton. He may have studied at Oxford University. He was, by his own admission, ''del ordre de freres menours'' ("of the order of the Friars Minor"), and probably associated with the Nottingham friary, since he refers in his own writings to the River Trent, Trent and River Derwent, Derbyshire, Derwent rivers, and linguistic evidence from the occasional English proverb or word also points to that area. In the allegorical poem "Char d'orgueil" he specifically calls himself ''ordeynours'', probably indicatin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Richard De Ledrede
Richard de Ledrede (died 1360/1361), also known as Richard Ledred, was a 14th-century churchman in Ireland who served as Bishop of Ossory. His long tenure as Bishop was marked by bitter controversies and repeated quarrels with his colleagues, both lay and clerical. Life Richard was probably born between about 1260 and 1270. A report of c.1356 that he was by that date a centenarian is believed to be an exaggeration, although he was certainly so advanced in years that his fitness to perform his duties was questioned.Neary 1984, p. 273. His name is thought to relate to Leatherhead in Surrey, England, but this may be misleading: other evidence suggests a family connection with the county of Somerset. A Franciscans, Franciscan of the Order of Friars Minor, he served as Bishop of Ossory from May 1317 until his death in 1360/1361. Kilkenny witch trials Ledrede was known as a "scourge of heresy and witchcraft", and was a central figure in the Kilkenny witch trials of 1324, when among th ...

Latin Manuscripts
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 conjugat ...
