Topic: Menology


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Menologium
The "Menology of Basil", a work of early date often referred to in connexion with the history of the Greek Offices, is a book of this class.
That no general custom then existed of reading the Menology at table appears from his remark: "It would not appear unsuitable if it (the Menologium) were read aloud in public or in chapter or at least in the refectory at the beginning of dinner or supper".
Again quite a number of works have been printed under the name Menologium by Fathers of the Society of Jesus, one or other of which it has been and still is the custom of the order to read aloud in the refectory during part of the evening meal.

Some of the subjects of the illustrations in this Menology are identical with those of the mosaics of the Cathedral of Cefalù, in Sicily, and also with some of those in the Cathedral of Monreale.
The Menology, which only, however, extends to half of the year, September to February, is the most important surviving example of its class.
Some of the compositions in the Menology are very fine, though the whole work is unequal, reflecting the degrees of ability of the various illustrators of the work.

 On-Line Computer Collation of Medieval Slavic Menologies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Medieval Slavic menologies are extremely diverse in their listings of saints, and in their textual formulae, making it difficult to analyze individual manuscripts.
Now that computer tools are available for processing and collating medieval Slavic texts, however, it is possible to set up a computer program for automatic classification and on-screen comparison of menology texts according to their listings of individual saints, and their textual formulae (i.e., the exact wording of the descriptions in the listings).
Once this general study is completed, both the corpus of menology texts and the computer search program will be put on the Internet, so that scholars worldwide will have free access to the collation for comparative study of individual manuscripts.

The paper will show that in fact, No. 822's menology is based on an earlier, fuller antegraph of the entire Banica menology, which included some archaic Constantinople entries which are omitted in the Banica but preserved in the Curzon.

 Medieval Slavic Menologies On Line
The term "menology" is used here to mean a calendar of saints, i.e., a liturgical calendar which includes the names of saints and events to be commemorated on specific days of the year.
One of the two major goals of this collation is to facilitate the development of a general typology of Slavic menologies through computer identification of such patterns among a large corpus of texts.
Once pericopes and other additional text from the menologies are included in the database, it should be possible to view them either in isolation, or together with the entries of saints and events.

The name Menology is also given to a kind of calendar containing tables of scriptural lessons arranged according to the months and the feasts of the saints.
Besides such usage of the word in the East, it has been applied in the west to a book, intended not for liturgical but for private use, generally arranged according to the months and days, which contains the eulogistic biographies of persons renowned for holiness although not in any sense canonized saints.
Thus in some of the religious orders menologies were compiled in memory of their departed brethren who were especially noted for their holiness or learning.

 just a reader.: Menology
Much of the art of our own time is an art of symbol which is in danger of becoming etherealized quite out of this world.
We should not be surprised that once again it is put best by St. John of the Cross: "As to spiritual Sloth, many beginners shy away and flee from things of a spiritual nature because they do not appeal to their sensible taste.
Reviewers are understandably chary of discussing spiritual matters; as intellectuals of our time they have probably grown up in an atmosphere of agnosticism, and overt spirituality either repels or frightens them; if they show themselves sympathetic to such themes they may find themselves claimed as bedmates by neurotics of all sorts.

 Joseph of Arimathea, from Lundy, Isle of Avalon by Mystic Realms
One Menology assigns the martyrology of Zelotes to Persis in Asia, but others agree in stating he suffered in Britain.
Simon Zelotes suffered in the east of Britain perhaps, as tradition affirms, in the vicinity of Caistor, under the prefecture of Caius Decius, the officer whose atrocities were the immediate cause of the Boudiccan war.
Freculphus tells how Joseph and his companions including Lazarus, Mary, Martha, Marcella, and Maximin were invited by certain high ranking druids to travel from Marseilles to the seat of a druidic cor at Ynys Avalon, a site which was subsequently made over to them by Arvigarus.

In July 1995, I spent a month at the HRL examining the microfilm copies of unpublished menologies, or calendars of saints, from medieval Serbian and Bulgarian gospel and apostolus manuscripts.
This was a major task, because medieval menologies vary enormously in their listings of saints, and there was no general typology of Slavic menologies available in the scholarly literature.
In addition to its use for study of the Curzon Gospel menology, which turned out to be quite unusual, the menology corpus, which presently consists of over 120 medieval Slavic menologies, is also being developed into a computer collation and search program (the latter is being developed by David Birnbaum at the University of Pittsburgh).

 The Ultimate Symeon Metaphrastes - American History Information Guide and Reference
Scholars have been very much divided as to the period in which he lived, dates ranging from the 9th century to the 14th having been suggested; but it is now generally agreed that he flourished in the second half of the 10th century.
Still greater divergences of opinion have existed as to the lives of saints coming from his pen, and here again the solution of the problem has been attained by studying the composition of the great Greek menologies.
The menology of Metaphrastes is a collection of lives of saints for the twelve months of the year, easily recognizable among analogous collections, and consisting of about 150 distinct pieces, some of which are taken bodily from older collections, while others have been subjected to a new recension (,ueret pavts).

Though neither the antiquity nor the credit of these authors is of great weight, it must be acknowledged, with a very judicious critic, that some curious anecdotes are found in their writings.
