Manuel Bayeu
Friar Manuel Bayeu y Subías (8 January 1740, Zaragoza - c. 1809, Zaragoza) was a Spanish painter, architect and Carthusian monk. Biography He came from a family of painters that included his brothers, Francisco and Ramón. What we know of his life is based almost entirely on the personal correspondence he maintained with Martín Zapater, a friend of his brother-in-law, Francisco de Goya. He was a Carthusian monk at the monastery Nuestra Señora de las Fuentes, where he spent most of his life. He entered Las Fuentes in 1760, and took his vows in 1772. In regards to his works, it is likely that he collaborated with his brother, Francisco, as did Ramón. In 1779, certain painters in Zaragoza denounced him for not paying taxes on the money he had earned from his works. He asserted that his paintings were all very small, and produced as compensation to those who had rendered some service to the monastery. The publicity worked in his favor and enabled him to receive the suppor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hugh Of Châteauneuf
Hugh of Châteauneuf (, 1053 – 1 April 1132), also called Hugh of Grenoble, was the Bishop of Grenoble from 1080 to his death. He was a partisan of the Gregorian reform and opposed to the Archbishop of Vienne, later Pope Callixtus II. Biography Born at Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, County of Albon to Odilo of Valence, Hugh showed piety and theological facility from a young age. While still a layman, Hugh was made a canon of Valence. His piety was such that it was said of him that he only knew one woman by sight. At the Council of Avignon in 1080, he was elected bishop of Grenoble, though he was not yet ordained. The See of Grenoble had fallen into a very poor state and Hugh was selected to be its Gregorian renovator. Conducted by a papal legate to Rome, Hugh was ordained by Pope Gregory VII himself. Upon his return, he immediately set to the task of reforming the abuses in his new diocese. When he had succeeded in countering abuse and fostering devotion after two years, h ...

Postulant
A postulant (from la, postulare, to ask) was originally one who makes a request or demand; hence, a candidate. The use of the term is now generally restricted to those asking for admission into a Christian monastery or a religious order for the period of time preceding their admission into the novitiate. The term is most commonly used in the Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, and the Anglican Communion (which includes the Episcopal Church, which uses the term to designate those who are seeking ordination to the diaconate or priesthood. In this respect, postulancy is generally considered the first formal step leading to candidacy and ordination). The Eastern Orthodox Churches uses this term less frequently. Purpose, duration and formation Nuns at a procession in 1915. The postulants in their garbs are walking in front of the professed nuns. The length of time that a prospective candidate remains a postulant may vary depending on the institution, or the postulant's individual ...
