Topic: Alfonso de Spina


  
  Alphonso de Spina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A convert from Judaism, Alphonso de Spina was for many years superior of the House of Studies of the Friars Minor at Salamanca, and in 1491 was created Bishop of Thermopylae in Greece.
The Fortalitium was written in 1458, but it was added to by de Spina at different times up to the year 1485.
In this last book de Spina dwells at length upon the demons and their hatred of men; the powers they have over men and the diminution of these powers, owing to the victory of Christ on the Cross, the final condition of the demons, and so on.

 JOEY SPINA vs JESSE BRINKLEY | FightWriter
Spina (17-0-1, 12 KOs) was once just a raw slugger but he has improved his technique under the training of ex-champ Eddie Muhammad in Las Vegas.
In his last fight, though, Spina was a bit disappointing when being held to a 10-round draw by Jose Spearman: although Spearman is a competent journeyman this was a fight that Spina was expected to win.
The size of Spina could give him an advantage, whether on the inside or if he does indeed try to use a “boxing" style on the outside, although from what I have seen of Spina his style is based on aggression and letting his hands go.

The agents were full of good will; but Spina could not take it on himself to make certain sacrifices; and Bernier, an instrument of the first consul, full of dexterity, had not the authority necessary to modify the ideas to which his chief was attached.
de Blacas concluded (June 11, 1817) a new convention, which re-established the concordat of Francis I. That of 1801 ceased to be binding, and the organic articles were abrogated in everything contrary to the doctrine and laws of the church.

 Number of demons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As it had been said by Christian theology that there was 400 millions of angels, Alfonso de Spina calculated that about one third of them were demons, and in 1467 he asserted that the number of demons was 133,316,666 demons.
This idea of one third of the angels turned into demons seems to be due to an exegesis of the Book of Revelation 12:3-9.
It is suggestive that both Spina and Weyer used the 666 and other numbers composed by more than one 6 to calculate the number of demons (133,316,666 demons, 666 legions, 6,666 demons in each legion, 66 rulers).

 Chapter 8: The Road Through Roncesvalles: Alfonsine Formation of Brunettro Latini and Dante - Diplomacy and LIterature
22 Alfonso was envisioned as a Greco-Arabic, democratic philosopher-king; Charles was cast in the role of a Roman republican senator.
Alfonso's son Sancho commissioned a translation by Alfonso de Paredes, the physician tutor (alfarquï) of his own son Fernando; these manuscripts are centered on Seville.
It was Alfonso el Sabio and his work, especially his Aristotelian legal writings in the Castilian vernaculars and his Marian poetry in Galician, which probably gave Brunetto Latini the model for his own writings in the vernacular.

Aside from outpointing Oscar De La Hoya — also a former champion at welterweight and below — Mosley was outsized against Winky Wright, a natural 154-pounder whose true strength wasn't revealed by his number of knockouts.
De La Hoya, Mosley and Mayweather all left their prime weight classes long ago, only to translate speed and skill into strength and staying power.
And after De La Hoya lost his rematch to Shane Mosley, Mosley's name came up in the BALCO probe, although it must be written that nothing has been released since implicating Mosley in anything illegal or improper.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alphonso de Spina
The reason why the work is included in the "Scriptores O. P." is that one edition of it appeared under the auspices of Gulielmus Totani, O. P., for its author was undoubtedly a Franciscan, as Echard himself notes (Script.
1721, II, 61), and modern scholars are practically unanimous in attributing it to Alfonso de Spina.
In this last book the author dwells at length upon the demons and their hatred of men; the powers they have over men and the diminution of these powers, owing to the victory of Christ on the Cross, the final condition of the demons, etc.

 Jews in Spain in the Second Half of the Fifteenth Century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
When the various city administrations requested the Cortes held in 1462 to restrict the Jews in their intercourse with Christians the Jews left the cities and settled in places which were under the jurisdiction of the counts.
The popular hatred toward the Jews was stirred anew by the fanaticism of the Franciscan friar Alfonso de Spina, the author of "Fortalitium Fidei"; this friar, who held the same views as Paul de Burgos, was a sworn enemy of his former coreligionists.
So far from this being the case, Spain rose to its greatest height immediately after the expulsion of the Jews, the century succeeding that event culminating in the world-power of Philip II., who in 1580 was ruler of the New World, of the Spanish Netherlands, and of Portugal, as well as of Spain.

Therefore, the general opinion was that the gesture of John Paul II characterized a symbolic rejection of the former position of the Church, which, based on profound historical-theological reasons, always viewed the Jewish religion as an enemy of the Catholic Faith.
The Tribunal of the Holy Inquisition, established to defend the integrity of the Catholic Faith, was not concerned about the Jewish religion as such, nor did it prevent the Jews from professing their false beliefs, so long as they did not propagate their convictions among Catholics.
