	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Scotus Eriugena
		Nowadays, however, the claim of Ireland to be considered the birthplace of John is universally admitted.
		All the evidence points that way, and leads us to conclude that when his contemporaries tauntingly referred to his having come to France from Ireland they meant not only that he was educated in the Isle of Saints but also that Ireland was his birthplace.
		From the fragment which has come down to us of his commentary on St. John we infer that he held the Eucharist to be merely a type or figure.

	SIR WILLIAM JOHNSTONE PULTENEY
		In June 1805, shortly after Pulteney’s death, his nephew Sir John Lowther Johnstone renewed the Westerhall petition to the House of Lords claiming the dormant titles of the Johnstones of Annandale, but he was likewise unsuccessful, as were other claimants.
		He made the Scots an offer with very generous terms: He agreed to donate land for a church and a school, to accept payment in wheat, to provision the settlers until the first harvest, and to provide money for transportation.
		When Rochesterville (later Rochester) was established in 1812, the Scots colony at Caledonia brought needed grain to, and furnished trade with, the newcommunity.

	John Scottus Eriugena
		The first printed editions of his works appeared in the seventeenth century, but it was not until the nineteenth century that interest in him was revived, especially among followers of Hegel who saw Eriugena as a forerunner to speculative idealism, as a ‘Proclus of the West’ (Hauréau) and the ‘Father of Speculative Philosophy’ (Huber).
		A fragmentary Commentary on the Gospel of St. John (Commentarius in Evangelium Iohannis) and a sermon (Homilia in Johannem) on the Prologue to St John's Gospel were also written probably in the late 860s or 870s.
		A conference organized by John O’Meara and Ludwig Bieler in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin, in 1970 led to the founding of the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies (SPES) which has been active in developing Eriugena studies at a high scholarly level by hosting international colloquia and publishing the proceedings.

	RCUS - Publications - What is a Reformed Church
		However, it took the genius of John Calvin the Frenchman, trained as priest, lawyer and humanist man of letters, to systematize and give the Reformed reformation its great impetus.
		Among those was the Scot John Knox, one of the leaders in founding the Presbyterian Church.
		The distinction between Reformed and Presbyterian is simply that Reformed stands for the doctrine or faith of the churches, whereas Presbyterian stands for the type of church government of the Reformed churches.

	William Mitchell [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Although much had been written on early Scottish philosophical influences on the development of Australian philosophy, the focus of this work has centred mainly on the Sydney connection—particularly, the writing and influence of John Anderson, Challis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney (1927-58).

	bicycle
		The safety bicycle, with wheels of approximately equal diameter and a sprocket-chain drive connecting the pedals with the rear wheels, was first manufactured at Coventry, England, c.1885 by the English machinist James Starley; following the invention of the pneumatic tire in 1888 by the Scot John Dunlop, the safety bicycle superseded the high-wheeled form.
		Subsequent modifications include the freewheel (a rear wheel that turns freely when the pedals are stopped), the coaster brake, the hand brake, variable drive gear, and adjustable handlebars.
