	Albertus Magnus, Saint Albert the Great
		He was both a student and teacher of alchemy and chemistry, and an alleged magician, since he was repeatedly charged by some of his unfriendly contemporaries with holding communications with the devil, practicing the craft of magic, and with the making of a demonic automata able to speak.
		Albertus was born at Larvingen, on the Danube, sometime between 1193 and 1206, and the term Magnus is not the result of his reputation, but is the Latin equivalent of his family name, de Groot.
		According to tradition, he was the inventor of the pistol and the cannon, but, while is unlikely that the credit is due to him for this, the mere fact that he was thus acknowledged indicates that his scientific skill was recognized by a few, if only a few, of the men of his own time.

		Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's chamber opera, The Martyrdom of Saint Magnus, given a single performance in the round in Buxton's St. John's Church, was on safer ground.
		The battle of the Earls of Orkney, and the murder of the pacifist Magnus, is a part of medieval history whose resonances and tones of voice are more sympathetically fashioned in our own self-image.
		And Davies' 1976 weaving of time past and time present on the Viking loom was recreated graphically in John Fulljames' spare production and in the virtuoso playing of The Opera Group ensemble, conducted by Patrick Bailey.
