Enchiridion Of Epictetus
The ''Enchiridion'' or ''Handbook of Epictetus'' (, ''Enkheirídion Epiktḗtou'') is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the '' Discourses of Epictetus'', it is not a summary of the ''Discourses'' but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. Thus, the book is a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances. The ''Enchiridion'' was well known in the medieval world and was specially adapted for use in Greek-speaking monasteries. In the 15th century it was translated into Latin, and then, with the advent of printing, into multiple European languages. It reached the height of popularity in the 17th century, in parallel with the Neostoicism movement. Contents The word "Enchiridion" () is an adjective meaning "i ...

Enchiridion Of Pomponius
Sextus Pomponius () was a Roman jurist who lived during the reigns of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. Name Sextus was a fairly common Roman given name () while his surname seems to indicate he belonged to the Pomponia family (). Other writers have expressed a view that the name Sextus Pomponius was shared by another jurist, although Puchta suggested the assumption of two Pomponii was unsupported by the evidence. Works S. Pomponius wrote a book on the law up to the time of Hadrian, known as the '' Enchiridion'' (, ''Enkheidírion'', "Handbook"). A long excerpt of the work forms part of Justinian's ''Digest'' dealing with the origin of the Roman Constitution and various offices.

Enchiridion Militis Christiani
The ''Handbook of the Christian Knight'' (), sometimes translated as ''The Manual of the Christian Knight'' or ''The Handbook of the Christian Soldier'' or just the Enchiridion, is a work written by Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam in 1501. It was first published in English in 1533 in a translation by William Tyndale; in 1545 Miles Coverdale published an abridged translation. During a stay in Tournehem, a castle near Saint-Omer in the north of modern-day France, Erasmus encountered an uncivilized, yet friendly soldier who was an acquaintance of Jacob Batt, Erasmus' close friend. On the request of the soldier's pious wife, who felt slighted by her husband's behaviour, Battus asked Erasmus to write a text which would convince the soldier of the necessity of mending his ways, which Erasmus did. The resulting work was eventually re-drafted by Erasmus and expanded into the ''Enchiridion militis Christiani''. The ''Enchiridion'' is an appeal on Christians to act in accordance with t ...

Erfurt Enchiridion
The ''Erfurt Enchiridion'' (wikt:enchiridion, enchiridion, from , hand book) is the second Lutheranism, Lutheran hymnal. It appeared in 1524 in Erfurt in two competing editions. One of them contains 26 songs, the other 25, 18 of them by Martin Luther, others by Elisabeth Cruciger, Erhard Hegenwald, Justus Jonas and Paul Speratus. While the songs of the ''Enchiridion'' could be used in churches, they were intended primarily for singing elsewhere, such as at home, at court, and in guild meetings. History The songs of the Protestant Reformers, reformer Luther and others were first sold as broadsheets, and contributed to the spreading of Protestant ideas. They were printed in collections, beginning with the First Lutheran hymnal, called the ', and with the Wittenberg song book, both published in 1524. The Erfurt ''Enchiridion'' appeared the same year, in two almost equal editions by two different printers, Johannes Loersfeld and Matthes Maler. Both books are identical except for o ...

Old Prussian Language
Old Prussian is an extinct West Baltic language belonging to the Baltic branch of the Indo-European languages, which was once spoken by the Old Prussians, the Baltic peoples of the Prussian region. The language is called Old Prussian to avoid confusion with the German dialects of Low Prussian and High Prussian and with the adjective ''Prussian'' as it relates to the later German state. Old Prussian began to be written down in the Latin alphabet in about the 13th century, and a small amount of literature in the language survives. In modern times, there has been a revival movement of Old Prussian, and there are families which use Old Prussian as their first language. Classification Old Prussian is an Indo-European language belonging to the Baltic branch. It is considered to be a Western Baltic language. Old Prussian was closely related to the other extinct West Baltic languages, namely Sudovian, West Galindian and possibly Skalvian and Old Curonian. Other linguists co ...

Indulgence
In the teaching of the Catholic Church, an indulgence (, from , 'permit') is "a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for (forgiven) sins". The ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' describes an indulgence as "a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions…" The recipient of an indulgence must perform an action to receive it. This is most often the saying (once, or many times) of a specified prayer, but may also include a pilgrimage, the visiting of a particular place (such as a shrine, Church (building), church, or cemetery), or the performance of specific good works. Indulgences were introduced to allow for the remission of the severe penances of the early church and granted at the intercession of Christians awaiting martyrdom or at least imprisoned for the faith.Cross, F.
