Divine - the negative note is subordinate. Furthermore, since the force of the latter note is to deny any and all limitations to the actuality represented by the former, its real import is positive, like the cancellation of a minus sign in an algebraic formula; or, it discharges the function of an exponent and raises actuality to the nth power. (3) Way of eminence The concept of a perfection derived from created things and freed of all defects, is, in its application to God, expanded without limit. God not only possesses every excellence discoverable in creation, but He also possesses it infinitely. To emphasize the transcendence of the Divine perfection, in some cases an abstract noun is substituted for the corresponding adjective; as, God is Intelligence; or, again, some word of intensive, or.
Dioscorus of Alexandria - Dioscorus of Alexandria Dioscorus (died c.454), was patriarch of Alexandria (444 - 451), receiving consecration, according to one report (Mansi, vii. 603), from two bishops only. It is difficult to harmonize the accounts of his character. Theodoret, whose testimony in his favor cannot be suspected, writes to Dioscorus, soon after Dioscurus' consecration, that the fame of his virtues, and particularly of his modesty and humility, was widely known (Ep. 60). He had served as Cyril's archdeacon. Liberatus says that he had never been married. On the other hand, after he had involved himself in the Monophysite heresy, he was accused of serious misconduct in the first years of his episcopate. The deacon Ischyrion, Cyril's nephew Athanasius, and one Sophronius all recounted his misconduct: misapropriation of money, associating.
Demetrius of Alexandria - Demetrius of Alexandria Demetrias was Patriarch of Alexandria (189 - 232). Sextus Julius Africanus, who visited Alexandria in the time of Demetrius, places his accession as eleventh bishop after Mark in the tenth year of Commodus; Eusebius' statement that it tenth of Severus (Historia Ecclesiastica, VI, 2) is a mistake. The Catholic Encyclopedia states, "Demetrius is the first Alexandrian bishop of whom anything is known." While Jerome claimed that Demetrius sent Pantaenus on a mission to India, it is likely that Clement had succeeded Pantaenus as the head of the Catechetical School before the accession of Demetrius. When Clement retired (c. 203), Demetrius appointed Origen, who was in his eighteenth year, as Clement's successor. While Demetrius was a scholar in his own right, taking part in the.
Ambrose of Alexandria - Ambrose of Alexandria Ambrose of Alexandria (died about 250 AD) was a friend of Origen. Attracted by Origen's fame as a teacher, he visited his school about 212, and was converted by Origen from the Valentinian heresy to the orthodox faith (Eusebius, Church History, VI. xviii. 1). He was a sufferer during the persecution under Maximinus Thrax in 235 (Eusebius, Church History, VI. xxviii.), and is last mentioned in Origen's Contra Celsum, which the latter wrote at the solicitation of Ambrose. He was wealthy and provided his teacher with books for his studies and secretaries to lighten the labor of composition (Eusbius, Church History, VI. xxiii. 1-2; Jerome, De vir. ill., lvi.). Origen often speaks of him in terms of affection as a man of education and.
Clement of Alexandria - Clement of Alexandria Clement of Alexandria (Titus Flavius Clemens), was the first member of the Church of Alexandria to be more than a name, and one of its most distinguished teachers. He was born about the middle of the 2nd century, and died between 211 and 216. Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 His Life 2 His Literary Work 3 His Significance for the Church His Life He was not born in Egypt (Stromata, i. 1). Athens is named as his birthplace by Epiphanius, and this is supported by the classical quality of his Greek. His parents seem to have been wealthy pagans of some social standing. The thoroughness of his education is shown by his constant quotation of the Greek poets and philosophers. He travelled in Greece,.
Cleopatra VI of Egypt - Cleopatra VI of Egypt Cleopatra VI Tryphaena was the daughter of Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysus When her father fled to Rome to avoid an uprise in Alexandria against him, her sister Berenice took control. Cleopatra VI then died in 57 BC of unknown reasons, although it is believed Berenice poisoned her. When her father later returned he had Berenice and her husband beheaded. After his death, his daughter Cleopatra VII Philopator becomes queen, along with her 10 year old husband/brother Ptolemy XIII..
Ptolemy VIII of Egypt - Egypt and installed the young Euergetes as king. After Antiochus left (169), Euergetes agreed to a joint rule with his older brother Ptolemy VI Philometor and Cleopatra II. This arrangement led to continuous intrigues, lasting until October 164, when Philometor went to Rome to angle for support from the Senate, who were little helpful, but Physcon's sole rule was not popular, and in May 163 the two brother agreed to a partition that left Physcon in charge of Cyrenaica. Although the arrangement lasted until Philometor's death in 145, it did not end the sparring. Physcon convinced the Senate to back his claim on Cyprus, but Philometor ignored this, and after Physcon's attempt to conquer the island failed, in 161 the Senate sent Philometor's ambassadors home. Sometime around 156/155 Philometor tried to.

Julius Caesar - alliance, Pompey married Julia Caesaris, Caesar's only daughter. Despite the differences in age and upbringing, this political marriage proved to be a love match. Following a difficult year as Consul, Caesar was given Proconsul powers to govern Gaul (southern France) and Illyria (the coast of Dalmatia) for five years. He was not content with an idle governorship. Instead, he started the Gallic Wars (58 BC-49 BC) in which the all of Gaul (the rest of France) and parts of Germania were annexed to Rome. Among his legates were his cousins Lucius Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius, Titus Labienus and Quintus Tullius Cicero (Cicero's younger brother). Caesar waged war against various peoples, defeating the Helvetii (in Switzerland in 58 BC, the Belgic confederacy and the Nervii in 57 BC and the Veneti.
Justinian I - but Belisarius disagreed, wanting to make Italy an Imperial Roman territory. Justinian sent Belisarius to the East to defend against renewed attacks by the Persians. After establishing a new peace in the East in 545, Belisarius returned to Italy, but the Ostrogoths had recaptured Rome in his absence. The eunuch general Narses took over Belisarius' command, and the historian Procopius, a former officer in Belisarius' army, accused the general of treason. Belisarius briefly sufferred imprisonment, but Justinian later pardoned him and he defeated the Bulgars when they appeared on the Danube for the first time in 559. In 551, Byzantine forces conquered part of southern Spain from the Visigoths. Narses failed to defend Italy against either the Ostrogoths or the Lombards. Nevertheless, under Justinian, the empire's territory expanded greatly, if only.
Justin Martyr - he had attained to the truth. He probably travelled widely and ultimately settled in Rome as a Christian teacher. The earliest mention of Justin is found in the Oratio ad Graecos by Tatian, who calls him "the most admirable Justin," quotes a saying of his, and says that the Cynic Crescens laid snares for him. Irenaeus (Haer. I., xxviii. 1) speaks of his martyrdom, and of Tatian as his disciple; he quotes him twice (IV., vi. 2, V., xxvi. 2), and shows his influence in other places. Tertullian, in his Adversus Valentinianos, calls him a philosopher and martyr, and the earliest antagonist of heretics. Hippolytus and Methodius also mention or quote him. Eusebius of Caesarea deals with him at some length (Church History, iv. 18), and names the following works: The.
History of Greek and Roman Egypt - In 332 BC Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, conquered Egypt, with little resistance from the Persians. He was welcomed by the Egyptians as a deliverer. He visited Memphis, and went on pilgrimage to the oracle of Amun at the Oasis of Siwa. The oracle had the good sense to declare him to be the son of Amun. He conciliated the Egyptians by the respect which he showed for their religion, but he appointed Greeks to virtually all the senior posts in the country, and founded a new Greek city, Alexandria, to be the new capital. The wealth of Egypt could now be harnessed for Alexander's conquest of the Persian Empire. Early in 331 BC he was ready to depart, and led his forces away to Phoenicia. After Alexander's death in.
History of anti-Semitism - Maccabeus. Jews celebrate Hanukkah in commemoration of their victory. 2nd century BCE: Mnaseas of Patros, a Greek author, reports that the Jews worship a donkey's head in the Holy of Holies. (Repeated by Apollonius Molon, Democritus, Apion, Plutarch, Tacitus) 59 BCE Cicero denounces Judaism as barbara superstitio, describes Jews as people born to be slaves. 66-73 Great Jewish Revolt against the Romans is crushed by Vespasian and Titus Flavius. Titus refuses to accept a wreath of victory, as there is "no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God". (Philostratus, Vita Apollonii) 1st century Fabrications of Apion in Alexandria, Egypt, including the first recorded blood libel. Tacitus writes in Histories that Jews regard "the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies", calls for their expulsion from Rome. Juvenal.
HMS Revenge - "I am convinced that any English naval officer, placed as I was, would have acted in the same way." No charges were brought against him, for the actions of which he ordered. In January 1920, the 1st Battle Squadron was detached to the Mediterranean due to crises in the region. While in the area, Revenge supported Greek forces in their war against Turkish Nationalists, and remained in the Black Sea, due to concerns about the Russian Civil War until July, when she returned to the Atlantic Fleet. In 1922, Revenge, with her sister-ships, Ramillies, Resolution and Royal Sovereign, was again sent to the Mediterranean, due to further crises, in no small part due to the pressured abdication of King Constantine I of Greece. Revenge was stationed at Constantinople and the Dardanelles.
Gospel of Mark - abundant opportunities to obtain information from the other apostles and their helpers, yet he was "the disciple and interpreter of Peter" specially. As to the time when it was written, the Gospel furnishes us with no clear information. Comments attributed to Jesus Christ in Mark 13:1-2 have been seen as a reference to the destruction of the Temple, which could place the work after AD 70; however, the passage predicts that the Temple would be torn down completely; it was destroyed by fire (Josephus, Jewish War VI), and one wall still stands. This inaccuracy, which is not repeated in the otherwise-identical sections of the other Synoptic Gospels, could place the passage before the destruction of Jerusalem. Since the time of Clement of Alexandria, scholars have considered that this Gospel was written.
First Council of Nicaea - contented with protection against heretical doctrines; but the Council of Nice is characterized by the further step from a defensive position to positive decisions and minutely elaborated articles of faith. In the Arian controversy lay a great obstacle to the realization of Constantine's idea of a universal empire which was to be attained by aid of uniformity of divine worship. Accordingly for the summer of 325 the bishops of all provinces were summoned to the first ecumenical council at Nicaea in Bithynia, a place easily accessible to the majority of the bishops, especially those of Asia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Greece, and Thrace. The number of members can not be accurately stated; Athanasius counted 318, Eusebius only 250. As a matter of course, the oriental bishops formed the preponderating number; the first.
