Candidus Of Fulda
Candidus (Bruun) of Fulda was a Benedictine scholar of the ninth-century Carolingian Renaissance, a student of Einhard, and author of the ''vita'' of his abbot at Fulda, Eigil. Biography He received his first instruction from the learned Eigil, Abbot of Fulda, 818–822. Abbot Ratgar (802–817) sent the gifted scholar to Einhard at the court of Charlemagne, where he most probably learned the art he employed later in decorating with pictures the western apse of St. Salvator, the so-called ''Ratgerbasilica'', to which, in 819, the remains of Saint Boniface were transferred. When Rabanus Maurus was made abbot (822), Candidus (who describes himself as a ''magister'' or teacher) may have succeeded him as head of the monastic school of Fulda. In any case as one of the most distinguished scholars of his monastery and as a renowned artist, he was among the leaders of the community of Fulda. In his later life he was adopted as an administrator of one of the so-called ''ministeria'', adm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saint Candidus
Candidus (died c. 287 AD) was a commander of the Theban Legion. The Theban Legion was composed of Christians from Upper Egypt. He is venerated as a Christian saint and martyr. Legend Candidus was first mentioned as a member of the Theban Legion by Eucherius, Bishop of Lyons (434 AD). The 13th-century ''Golden Legend'' states: "And the noble man, Maurice, was duke of this holy legion; and they that governed under him, which bare the banners, were named Saint Candidus, Saint Innocent, Saint Exsuperius, Saint Victor, and Saint Constantine, all these were captains." Candidus is called Maurice's ''senator militum'' or staff officer. He opposed Maximian, who had ordered them to harass the local Christians in his name, stating that "we are your soldiers, but we are also servants of the true God. We cannot renounce Him who is our Creator and Master, and also yours even though you reject Him." Candidus, along with Maurice, the other staff officers and 6,600 soldiers, is said to hav ...

Candidus Isaurus
Candidus Isaurus (fl. 491) was an Eastern Roman historian. His work, written in Greek, is known only from fragments. Life Candidus was probably born in the 430s, since he seems to have been an adult early in the reign of Leo I. He claimed to be a native of Isauria Tracheia and was a Chalcedonian Christian. In his work, Candidus claimed to have served as the "secretary (''hypographeus'') to the most powerful among the Isaurians", by which he probably meant the emperor Zeno and the other Isaurian generals. This suggests that he lived in Constantinople for at least part of the period 474–491. He was possibly an eyewitness to many of the events he recorded. While the term ''hypographeus'' could mean imperial notary, Candidus probably means private secretary. Candidus wrote his history between the death of Zeno in 491 and Anastasius I's purging of the Isaurians from the army in 492. The date of his death is unknown. Work Candidus' history, divided into three books, covered the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
