Topic: Humphrey Prideaux


  
  Most Haunted Series 6
Prideaux Place is a vast stately home was built on the site of a monastic grange, previously inhabited by the former Barton of the Monks of Bodmin.
The house was built by Sir Nicholas Prideaux in the late Tudor period after his family inherited the land in the early part of the sixteenth Century and has been owned and lived in by 14 unbroken generations.
The green lady is also said to haunt the upstairs landing, the grounds and in a nearby bedroom, and it is thought that she is Honor Fortescue the young wife of Humphrey Prideaux, who threw herself off the balcony at the top of the staircase because she was so distraught at his early death.

It is not easy to gather from this confession whether Prideaux had or had not read the books he “coated.” It is certain that Dean Aldrich (and here again we recognise the eternal criticism of modern Oxford) held a poor opinion of Humphrey Prideaux.
One lesson may be learned from Prideaux’s cynical letters, which is still worth the attention of every young Oxford student who is conscious of ambition, of power, and of real interest in letters.
Among the aversions of Humphrey Prideaux were the “gentlemen of All Souls.” They certainly showed extraordinary impudence when they secretly employed the University Press to print off copies of Marc Antonio’s engravings after Giulio Romano’s drawings.

For Prideaux, the exterior danger of the Muslim Other parallels the internal danger of the Deists, atheists and libertine thinkers in the West.
Ironically, Voltaire rearticulated and redirected Prideaux's anti-Islamic strategies in order to bolster his own tactics of eradicating religious dogma and superstition while championing the Deist's belief in a universal and "rational" religion free of corruption, based on goodwill rather than on fear of a transcendent authority.
From Cusa and Alfonso a Spina to Baudier and Prideaux, this fixed identity of Muhammad as an "impostor," a charlatan of low birth and a ruthless political manipulator, continued.

We have reached the period in which he lived and died, in the midst of changes of Church and State, and surrounded by more worldly scholars, whose letters remain to testify that, in the reign of the Second Charles, Oxford was modern Oxford.
In the epistles of Humphrey Prideaux, student of Christ Church, we recognise the foibles of the modern University, the love of gossip, the internecine criticism, the greatness of little men whom rien ne peut plaire.
Prideaux shows little interest in letters, little in the press, though he lived in palmy days of printing, in the time of the Elzevirs; none at all in the educational work of the place.

The Dictionary, the Prophet appears under the same light of medireview Christian polemics, and Bayle states, on Humphrey Prideaux’s authority, that Mahomet was an impostor, and that he made his imposture subservient to his lust … what is related of his amours, is very strange.
Offered to the considerations of the Desists of the present age, Prideaux’s book, published in 1697, was one of the most virulent and bitter attacks on Islam during the Enlightenment period and the title it bears requires little explanation as to its content.
That Prideaux’s work became a best-seller in the 18th century and was printed many times until the 19th century is quite telling insofar as the Enlightenment’s philosophers’ approach to Islam is concerned.

 The Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith
Nothing, says Prideaux, on the authority of Polybius, Livy, and Diodorus Siculus, could be more alien to his true character; because of his vile and extravagant folly, some thought him a fool and changed his name from Epiphanes, "The Illustrious," to Epimanes, "The Madman." [6]
Antiochus the Great, the father of Epiphanes, being defeated in a war with the Romans, was able to procure peace only by the payment of a prodigious sum of money and the surrender of a part of his territory.

 Outlines of the History of the Theological Literature of the Church of England (1897)
It may be questioned whether we are entitled to reckon John Ernest Grabe, a learned German settled in England, as an Anglican divine; but, at any rate, he contributed to our theological learning an edition of the Septuagint from the text of the Codex Alexandrinus (Oxon., 1707, 4 vols.
Two years before the publication of these volumes Humphrey Hody's learned work, De Bibliorum textibus originalibus, etc., had appeared, dealing largely with questions connected with the Septuagint.
Dean Humphrey Prideaux's Connection of the Old and New Testaments (1716-1718) went through many editions, the 25th (edited by Dr. McCaul) appearing as late as 1858.

Later writers, however, tell us that Theodotion first converted to Judaism and then became an Ebionite.
Prideaux, above, assumes that Theodotion was an Ebionite when he made his translation.
However, it is certain that at one time he was a Jewish proselyte, and it is also certain that the Ebionites were essentially the first "Jews for Jesus" type of sect.

Let us not allow those who visited upon us the horrors of September 11th when they demolished the Twin Towers and parts of the Pentagon, break our spirit by alienating us from our time-tested American values and first principles.
It was inexcusable even in the 17th century to have someone like Humphrey Prideaux speak disrespectfully of the Prophet; it is even less excusable that Americans today who have lived all their lives with our constitutional liberties condemn the religious beliefs of their co-citizens in similarly offensive terms.
One would expect that by now our constitutional values and religious history would have become sufficiently entrenched in our psyche and society as to protect us from the tyranny of the majority and the folly of religious oppression.
