Serenus The Gardener
Serenus the Gardener, also known as "''Serenus of Billom''", "''Sirenatus''", and, in French, french: Cerneuf is a 4th-century martyr who is venerated by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Biography According to pious legend, he was born in Greece; quit his life there and decided to live a celibate life of penance and prayer; emigrated to Sirmium, Pannonia in the Roman Empire (presently Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia); purchased, cultivated, and lived off of a garden there; and was known for his horticultural skill. He rebuked the wife of a Roman imperial guard for walking in his garden with her daughters, this purportedly being contrary to the ''mores'' of the time without male accompaniment. Her pride wounded, the wife informed her husband of the affair in writing, and he reported Serenus to Emperor Maximian, who gave the husband a letter to deliver to the governor of Pannonia that permitted the governor to remedy the supposed injustice. On the testimony of Serenus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Serenus Sammonicus
Quintus Serenus Sammonicus (died 212) was a Roman savant and tutor to Geta and Caracalla who became fatally involved in politics; he was also author of a didactic medical poem, '' Liber Medicinalis'' ("The Medical Book"; also known as ''De medicina praecepta saluberrima''), probably incomplete in the extant form, as well as many lost works. Works and influence Serenus was "a typical man of letters in an Age of Archaism and a worthy successor to Marcus Cornelius Fronto and Aulus Gellius, one whose social rank and position is intimately bound up with the prevailing passion for grammar and a mastery of ancient lore". According to Macrobius, who referenced his work for his ''Saturnalia'', he was "the learned man of his age". Maurus Servius Honoratus and Arnobius both employed his erudition to their own ends. He possessed a library of 60,000 volumes. His most quoted work was ''Res reconditae'', in at least five books, of which fragments only are preserved in quotations. The survivin ...

Serenus Of Antinoöpolis
Serenus of Antinoöpolis ( grc-gre, Σερῆνος; c. 300 – c. 360 AD) was a Greek mathematician from the Late Antique Thebaid in Roman Egypt. Life and work Serenus came either from Antinoeia or from Antinoöpolis, a city in Egypt founded by Hadrian on top of an older settlement. Two sources confirm that he was born in Antinoöpolis. It was once believed that he was born in Antissa, but this has been shown to have been based on an error. Serenus wrote a commentary on the ''Conics'' of Apollonius, which is now lost. We hear from Theon of Alexandria that the main result of the commentary was that of a number of angles that are subtended at a point on a diameter of a circle that is not the center, then with equal arcs of that circle, the angle nearer to the center is always less than the angle farther away from the center. But he was also a prime mathematician in his own right, having written two works entitled ''On the Section of a Cylinder'' and ''On the Section of a Cone'', ...

Serene (messiah Claimant)
The messiah in Judaism means "anointed one" and included Jewish priests, prophets and kings such as David and Cyrus the Great. Later, especially after the failure of the Hasmonean Kingdom (37 BCE) and the Jewish–Roman wars (66–135 CE), the figure of the Jewish messiah was one who would deliver the Jews from oppression and usher in an Olam HaBa ("world to come") or Messianic Age. Some people were looking forward to a military leader who would defeat the Seleucid or Roman enemies and establish an independent Jewish kingdom. Others, like the author of the Psalms of Solomon, stated that the messiah was a charismatic teacher who would give the correct interpretation of Mosaic law, restore Israel, and judge mankind. This is a list of notable people who have been said to be the messiah ben David, either by themselves or by their followers. The list is divided into categories, which are sorted according to date of birth (where known). 1st century * Jesus of Nazareth (ca. 4 B ...

Serenicus
Serenicus (french: link=no, Céneri or ; ) was an Italian Benedictine monk. He was an early evangelist in Normandy, and founded a monastery and a chapel in a village in Orne that later took the name of Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei. Serenicus is venerated as a saint. His feast day is celebrated on May 7 with his brother Serenidus of Saulges, or locally on August 16. He is a patron against skin diseases, colic, and infertility. Background Born into a noble family in Umbria around 620, Serenicus travelled to the province of Maine in 649 during the reign of the Merovingian king Clovis II with his brother, Serenidus, to live a life of contemplation and penance. At first, he lived with Serenidus as a hermit and an ascetic near Saulges in the diocese of Le Mans. At some point, Serenicus departed Saulges and began to live near a village in Orne near the Sarthe river. He started accepting disciples and found a church dedicated to Martin of Tours and an accompanying monastery. He ended u ...
