B)- ^■Irsacidas is here meant the sovereign of a curious fanatical tribe, who inhabited ibe mountains in the neighlxmrhood of Damascus, called Assassini, Uom an Arabic word signifving '' to slay :" from them came the modern word assassin. They derived their origin from a sect of Mahomelans founded by Hassan, son of Sabah, who fixed his seat near Casween, in Persia, a.d. 1090. He trained his followers to the most implicit submission; he taught them that immortal bliss aflir death would be the sure reward of such as executed his commands; he was in the habit of despatching them on secret errands, ])articularly to assassinate those, whether Christians or Mahometans, against whom he had

conceived any aversion. His dynasty expii-ed with the eighth kinc, a.d. 12.^)7.
The Assassini of Syria were a branch of these ; who adopted their principles and practices, and maintained correspondence with them. 'I'lieir sovereign was called " The Old Man of the Mountain." They were destroyed by a sultan of Egypt, A.D. 1272. See Hottman's Lexicon, and Uu Cange v. Assassini, who gives their various names as corrupted by ditterent historians. See also Moreri's Diet. V. Ismaeliens, and the authorities there cited. Rigord, a French historian, says that Philip Augustus, the French king, when at Pontoise a.d. 1)92, re- ceived letters from Palestine, warning him that the king of England had hired the Old Man of the Mountain to procure his assassination. The marquis of Montferrat is said to have been assassinated by one of them in Palestine. William de Nangis, anno 1236, says two were despatched into France to assas- sinate St. Louis. Walsingham says (also the Continuator of M. Paris) that Ed- ward, son of Henry IIL, was assaulted by one of them in Acre a.d. 1271. See p. 571 of this volume. " The History of the Assassins," by Chevalier Von Joseph Hammer, translated from the German by Charles Oswald Wood, M.D., Svo, London, 1835, will furnish the reader with full information on this subject.

Being, however, falsely accused of treason, he was by the emperor thrown into prison at Capua, where he laid violent hands on himself a.d. 1249. (See Foxe, p. 503.) Foxe alludes here to a collection of letters which passes under his name, though (as Cave observes) some of them were clearly written even after Frederic's death. The collection is intituled Epistolarum Hisforicarum libri vi. de gestis Frederici II. imperat. et aliis. It was printed at Basil, 1566, and Hamburgh, 1609.

Being slain by the idolaters at llelfendorir, near Munich, his body was conveyed to Katisbon, and buried there, whence he came to be regarded as the patron saint of llatisbon. A Bonedicline monastery was afterwards built outside the city, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Emeran, which became the most famous monastery in the whole empire. — Martinicre'sGeography, v.

Page 510, note (3).] — William de St. Amour was born at St. Amour, in Tranche Compt^. He became a doctor of the Sorbonne, and was a very distin- guished lecturer in divinity at Paris. Foxe here calls him " chief ruler then of that university," but, as he certainly was not the rector of the university, " canon of the church of Beauvais " is put in from Cave. He was not the only author of the " De periculis Ecclesite ;" for Foxe himself assigns him two distinct sets of coadjutors at pp. 521, 752, the former of which is correct.
The " De periculis EcclesijE " was written to counteract the effects of a mis- chievous publication called " Evangelium Eternum," or " Evangelium Spiritus Sancti," put forth by the friars a.d. 1256, of which some account will be given in the note on page 520. This book was condemned by Alexander IV. at the instance of the friars, by a bull dated Anagni, 3 Non. Octob. pontificatus anno 2 [October 5th, a.d. 1256]. (Du Boulay, Hist, de I'Univ. de Paris, torn. iii. p. 310.) St. Amour was, moreover, silenced, and ordered to quit France. He seems, however, to have remained there, and to have died at his native place, a.d. 1272. — Diographie Universelle, Moreri, Dupin.

Page 520, note (1). " Evangelium Eternum."'\ — Mosheim has investigated the history of this book with great diligence (Soames's Edition, vol. ii. p. 568, note). lie says that both ancient and modern writers are mistaken about it. The " Evangelium Eternum " seems to have been written by some weak enthusiast about the year a.d. 1200; lor William de St. Amour in the " De Periculis Novissimorum Temporum " says, that fifty-five years had elapsed since the first publication of these views, and they were in five years more to be triumphant, a.d. 1260, at least according to the prediction of the book. To gain the more credit to this production, it was announced under tiie name of Joachim, the abbot of Flora. Its title was taken from Revelations xiv. 6; and its chief doctrine was, that, as there were three Persons in the Godhead, so there were to be three Dispensations : that of the Father, which ended at the coining of Christ; that of the Son, which was to continue till 1260; and that of the Spirit, which was to continue to the end of time. This doctrine was advo- cated by Amauri of Chartres, who was condemned for it, first by the doctors of Paris A.D. 1204, and again by the Lateran Council a.d. 1215. "Almariciis Doctor Parisiensis docuit legem Dei Patris durasse usque ad advcntum Christi : legem Christi usque ad Almaricum : legem Spiritus S. usque ad finem numdi. Docuit multa alia perniciossima. Vide Joan, de Turrccremata, 1. iv, Summ partii. c. 35, et Vincentium in Speculo Historiali, 1. xcix. c. 107." (Chronologia Bellarmini.) The book would probably have fallen into contempt, had not the

r'riuuiscaus eagerly approjirialecl its doctrines to themselves, and rci)ublished the '• lOvaDf^elium i'.teniuin " with an Inlroduction, in which they asserted that St. Francis was the Aiiyvl spoken of in the verse of Revelations, and tliat the Mendicant friars were destined of God to be the instruments of establishing the new and purer state of the church. It is this " Libillus Iniroductoiius " which is named in the damnatory bull of Ale.xander IV. as the great object of ofl'ence. See the note on page 021. This Introduction was long attributed to John of I'arma, general of the Franciscan order, but is now believed to have been the j)ruduction of his friend Gerard.
Page 521, line 18. " The errors of the hook condemned," ^.c."] — The following statement will partly confirm, partly correct, the text. Du Boulay (Hist. I'nivcrsitatis Parisien. Paris, IC'GO, tom. iii. p. 292) gives a bull of Alexander, in which " /,/7if//«,v quidam, qui in Evangelium .I'ternum sen quosdam lihros Abbatis Joachim /rtZ/'Of/Mc^or/';/,? dicebatiir," is condemned, together with "Ex eirj)ta quivdam sen schedulje in quibus multa qujE Libello non continentur neqniter illi adscripta fuisse dicnntur;" dated Anagni, 10 Kal. Novemb. Ponti- ficatus an. 1 [October 2;kl, a. n. 125.5.] I)u Boulay (page 293) gives another bull, dated Anagni, 2 Non. Novemb. pontif. an. 1 [October 31st], alluding to the preceding, and directing the bishop of Paris to act discreetly in jnibliihing the aforesaid censure, for the sake of the credit of the friars : " Quod dicli fratres nullum ex hoc opprobrium nullamqne infamiam incurrcre valeant sive notam ; ut oblocutores et amiuli non possint exinde suniere contra ipsos mate- riain detrahendi." In the next page (294) Du Boulay states that, through the intrigues of the Dominicans, the pope was induced to issue three bulls against the other party ; and that William de St. Amour, Odo of Douay, Nicholas, dean of Bar, and Christian, a canon of Beauvais, were denounced as the leading opponents of the friars. A temporary peace was then concluded between the two parties at Paris, dated "die 1 Martii, a.d. 125G." This peace, however, was soon interrupted; for tlie pope was induced by the friars to condemn the University men, and to charge them to receive the friars, under date of Anagni, 15 Cal. Jiilii, pontif. an. 2 (Du Boulay, p. 303). This led to the publication of the " De Pcriculis Xoci.s.simonnn Temporntn," which Louis immediately sent to the pope for his opinion of it. The University, on their part, sent up niuicios, with the " Ecanyelium Etcrnian." The pope promptly condemned the former, before the University nuncios had arrived, under date of Anagni, 3 Non. Octob. ])ontif. an. 2 (Du Boulay, p. 310) ; and thanked Louis for sending it, in a letter dated 16 Cal. Nov. (ib. p. 312) ; enjoining the French bishops to conform, in a bull dated 12 Cal. Nov. (ib. p. 313). Odo of Douay and Christian of Beauvais, arriving first of the University nuncios, were brought to recant, October 18th (ih. pp. 313, 315) : St. Amour, however, resolutely defended his book, and so successfully that some errors in the " Evangelium Eternum " were condemned, and the pope wrote a complimentary letter to the University, dated Nov. 13th (il). pp. 31G— 332). (See Usher " Z)e Christ. Eccles. Sue. et Statu," cap. ix. § 20-29.)

In hodierno evangelio ])roponit vobis Dominus in parabola duas personas," &c. This must have been preached on the eleventh Sunday after Trinity. The second sermon is printed at p. 48 of Browne's Appendix. Foxe says that it was " upon the I'lpislle read in the church on May day," but that isnot the fact. Doubtless, it was preached on May day, for internal evidence proves that it was the feast of St. Philip and St. James, i.e. May 1st; but the only portion of the services of that day which at all refers to the subject of the sermon is the Second Lesson for the Evening Service, whiclf is the Epistle of St. Jude.

No wonder, then, pope Clement V. refused to canonize him for a saint, though earnestly requested by king Edward I." (Prynne's History of King John, Hen. III. and Ed. I. page 132.) Prynne (page 1134) gives the king's letter to pope Clement for the canonization of Grosthead, dated Carlisle, 6 die Maii, 34 Ed. I. [a.d. 1306.] The bishops and clergy and people of England are stated to join in the application : but there is no record of its being granted ; and Knighton says (col. 2436) that in consequence of this letter he never was canonized.
