CHAP. XI. (Book 11)

Of the Authors who wrote Ecclesiastical History, or the Lives of the Saints in the Eleventh Century.

MEGENFROY, MEGINFROY or MEGINFRED, a Monk of Fulda, * 1.1 wrote in the Year 1010. the Life of St. Emmeran Bishop of Ratisbon, directed to Arnulphus Count of Vogburg, and afterwards a Monk of the Monastery of St. Em∣meran at Ratisbon, and referr'd to by Canisius in the second Tome of his Antiquities. The same Author compos'd Twenty four Books of History, cited by Trithemius, in the Life of St. Maximus Bishop of Mentz, which is in Surius's sixth Tome, November 18.

SYRUS, a Monk of Cluny, and the Pupil of St. Maiol, wrote about the same time, the Life of his Tutor, dedicated to Odito; which was publish'd with great accuracy by Father * 1.2 Mabillon, in the fifth Benedictin Century, and with Aldebaldus's Addition by the Bollandists, in May 11.

OSBERN or OSBERT, a Monk and Chanter of Canterbury, wrote in the begin∣ning of the Century, the Life of St. Dunstan, with those of St. Odo and St. Alphegus. The * 1.3 Life of St. Dunstan, was set forth by Surius, under the Name of Osbert; but that Narration belongs to a later Author, since it was written in Lanfranc's Time, and Father Mabillon has publish'd the genuine Life of that Arch-bishop by Osbert, as well as that of Odo of Canter∣bury, and the Life of St. Alphegus, referr'd to by Bollandus in April 19.

TANGMARUS, a Saxon, Dean of Hildesheim, compos'd a Relation of the Life of St. Bernard Bishop of that City and his Pupil, which was publish'd by Browerus and * 1.4 afterwards inserted in the last Edition of Surius. This Author wrote in the Year of our Lord, 1023.

ARNOLD, a Canon of Herfeldt, wrote the Life of St. Godehard Abbot of that Mona∣stery, who succeeded St. Bernard in the Bishoprick of Hildesheim, A. D. 993. and died in * 1.5 1036. This Author was Meginfroy's Pupil, and had seen Godehard in his Youth, but he was inform'd of the Passages which he committed to Writing, by a certain old Man, who had spent his Life with that Saint. This Piece was set forth by Browerus, with the Life of St. Ber∣nard; and these two Lives may well be reckon'd among the most accurate, that were written at that time.

EBERARD, made a Narrative of the Life of St. Harvic Bishop of Saltzburg, who died in 1024. He was his Pupil, and wrote a little while after his Death. This Work is * 1.6 inserted in the second Tome of Canisius's Collection.

ARNULPHUS, Count of Vogburg, and afterwards a Monk of St. Emmeran at Ratisbon, compos'd two Books in form of Dialogues, of the Life of St. Emmeran, which were pub∣lish'd * 1.7 by Canisius, in the second Tome of his Antiquities.

ERCHINFROY or ERCHINFRED, Abbot of Melck in Austria, wrote A. D. 1012. an Account of the Life and Miracles of St. Colman a Scotch Man, which is cited by Lambecius, in his Bibliotheca.

Trithemius reckons among the Ecclesiastical Writers, of the beginning of this Century, RUPERT, Abbot of Mount Cassin, whom he much commends; and says, That he com∣pos'd * 1.8 certain Sermons, and some other Works, but we have none of his Pieces in our Pos∣session.

DITHMAR, the Son of Count Sigefroy and of Cunegonda, born in Saxony, A. D. 976. became a Monk of St. John at Magdeburg, under the Abbot Riddagius; was afterwards made Provost of Walbeck, and at last Bishop of Mersburg after Wigbert, whom he succeeded in 1008. He compil'd seven Books of Historical Chronicles, containing the Occurences and Transactions under five Emperors, viz. Henry the Fowler, the Otho's, and Henry II. He intermixes in several places, a great deal of Ecclesiastical History, and enlarges in the Commendation of many re∣verend Bishops of his Time. He died A. D. 1018. and his Works were Printed at Franc∣fort in 1580. as also among those of the German Historiographers.

ADEMAR, or AIMAR DE CHABANOIS, a Monk of the Monastery of * 1.9 St. Cibar at Angoulesm, compos'd a Chronicle of the History of France, which begins A. C. 829. and ends in 1029. with a Catalogue of the Abbots of St. Martial at Limoges; pub∣lish'd by Father Labbe in his second Tome of his Library of Manuscripts: He took care to procure the Writing of the Treatise of Offices by Amalarius, and some attribute to him the Supplement to that Work, relating to St. Benedict's Rule, which Father Mabillon inserted in the second Tome of his Analecta, tho' 'tis more probable, that it belongs to Amalarius himself. We have also Ademar's Acrostick Verses, taken out of an Extract that he made of the Lives of the Popes, attributed to Damasus, by the Order of Rohon Bishop of Angoulesme, which Verses were set forth by the same Father, in the first Tome of his Analecta. M. Ba∣lusius has in his Possession, a certain Manuscript Letter, (which he has thought fit to commu∣nicate to us) written by this Author, after the first Council of Limoges, held A. D. 1029. in which he assisted, and directed to Jourdain Bishop of Limoges, and to the Abbots and other Clergy-men of that Diocess; as also, to Arnulphus Bishop of Rhodez, to Thierry Bishop of Metz, to the Empress Cunegonda the Widow of the Emperor Henry, to Conon, to the Em∣peror Conrad, to William Duke of Guienne, and to Pope John, who is branded therein, as a brutish, cholerick and cruel Man. In this Letter, he relates many remarkable Passages that happen'd during the Contest about the Apostolical Dignity of St. Martial Bishop of Limoges, chiefly in reference to Benedict, Prior of the Abbey of St. Michael at Clus•• in Piemont, who a little while after the Session of that Council, being arriv'd at a certain Place call'd La Bu∣ssiere, in the Province of Limonsin, on the Festival of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, pub∣lickly gave it out, with a great deal of Heat and Passion, That St. Martial ought not to be reckon'd among the Apostles, and that the Inhabitants of Aquitaine, who look'd upon him to be so, were Asses and ignorant Doters.

This being reported in the Monastery of St. Cibar, by two Monks of that Convent, who were then present at La Bussiere, made so great an impression on the Minds of the Friers, that all, except Aimar and Gosbert, embrac'd Benedict's Opinion; which gave occasion to this Letter, in which Aimar treats Benedict very rudely, who nevertheless, (even according to Aimar's Report) was a judicious and learned Person, but extremely Passionate, if we may give Credit in that respect to Aimar, in his own Cause: For it appears, That the Prior inveigh'd against him most bitterly at La Bussiere; accusing him as the Author of that Innovation, which he also term'd Hercsie, and affirming that 'twas devis'd by him through Flattery, on purpose to gratifie the Abbot and Monks of Limoges, who had corrupted him with Mony. Benedict added, That having disputed with Aimar upon that Point, he had baffl'd him, and had oblig'd him to hide himself. Now Aimar wrote this Letter to refute the Prior's Argu∣ments, declaring what had pass'd at Limoges, between himself and Benedict, whom he cen∣sures as an Impostor and Profligate Wretch: He likewise gives an account of the Contest that he had at Angoulesme, about the same Affair, with a certain Monk of Ravenna, being also an able Physician, nam'd Bernard, who came to La Bussiere with Benedict, and had learnt of him all the Arguments against the Apostleship of St Martial. But it ought to be observ'd, that this Benedict said, That the Dispute could not be determin'd, but by a gene∣ral Council of France and Italy, held in the Pope's presence: Quis ausus fuit Martialem praedicare Apostolum, nisi prius grande generale Concilium omnium Episcoporum Galliae & Italiae, una cum Papa Romano congregaretur, & ibi esset probatum, si est aut non est Apostolus? And forasmuch as Benedict and a Monk of St. John d' Angely, who likewise maintain'd that Saint Martial was not an Apostle, peremptorily declar'd, That 'twas requisite to make applica∣tion to the Pope, and to cause the Monks of St. Martial to be forbidden to place him in the Rank of the Apostles, for the future; Aimar replies,

That if the Pope being surpris'd by the Insinuations of envious Persons, should publish such a Prohibition, it would be more expedient to obey God, rather than the Pope of Rome; by reason that no Pope has re∣ceiv'd Power to absolve or excommunicate the Holy Apostles, nor to hinder the Church of God from doing well and speaking well:

Si Papa subripiente consilio invicdorum hoc prohibet, tamen obedire oportet Deo magis quam Papae Romano. Nulli etenim Papae data est potestas vel absolvendi, vel excommunicandi sanctos Apostolos Dei, vel prohibendi Ecclesiam Dei a benefaciendo & recte loquendo. M. Balusius has also divers Sermons made in the Council of Limoges, relating to the Apostolical Dignity of St. Martial, which he supposes to have been written by the same Author.

HUGH, Arch-deacon of Tours, compos'd a small Dialogue between him and Fulbert * 1.10 Bishop of Chartres, containing an Account of an Apparition of St. Martin, seen by Herveus Treasurer of St. Martin at Tours, in the beginning of this Century, which was Publish'd by Father Mabillon, in the second▪ Tome of his Analecta.

He compos'd a Chronicle, from the Creation of the World, to A. D. 1052. continu'd by Bertulphus of Constance, to 1065. It was Printed at Francfurt, in 1583. in the Edition of the Historians of Germany, by Pisto∣rius; in Canisius's Antiquities; and in the last Bibliotheca Patrum. To him are also attri∣buted, certain Anthems in honour of the Virgin Mary; the Veni Sancte Spiritus; and some other † 1.14 Proses or Hymns. Trithemius likewise makes mention of the following Works of this Author, viz. a Treatise of the Science of Musick; another of the Monochord; three Books of the manner of making the Astrolabe; one of its usefulness; one of the Eclipses; another of the Calendar; a Treatise of the Quadrature of a Circle, one of the Discord of Sounds, one of Physiognomy; and the Lives of divers Saints. * 1.15
