Granada Cathedral
The Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Incarnation (), is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Granada, Spain. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Granada. Like many other cathedrals in Andalusia, it was built on top of the city's main mosque after the reconquest of Granada. History The Cathedral of Granada is dedicated to ''Santa María de la Encarnación''. Unlike most cathedrals in Spain, construction was not begun until the sixteenth century in 1518 in the centre of the old Muslim Medina, after acquisition of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada from its Muslim rulers in 1492. While its earliest plans had Gothic designs, such as are evident in the Royal Chapel of Granada by Enrique Egas, most of the church's construction occurred when the Spanish Renaissance style was supplanting the Gothic in Spanish architecture. Foundations for the church were laid by the Enrique Egas starting from 1518 to 1523 atop the site of the city's main mosque. By 1529, Egas wa ...

Recemund
Recemundus (Arabic: ''Rabi ibn Sid al-Usquf'' or ''Rabi ibn Zaid'', Castilian: ''Recemundo'') was the Mozarabic bishop of Elvira and secretary of the caliph of Córdoba in the mid-10th century. In 953, following a spate of undiplomatic letters between the two rulers, he served as ambassador for Abd al-Rahman III to German King (and future Holy Roman Emperor) Otto I. In Germany, he successfully normalised relations between the nominal rulers of Christendom and Islamdom. It was while in Germany (956) that he met Liutprand of Cremona, the Italian bishop and diplomat, and convinced him to write a history of the times. The ''Antapodosis'' was dedicated to Recemundus. Upon his return to Spain, he was rewarded with the vacant see of Elvira. He continued his work as an ambassador to Christendom, going to the other European emperor in Constantinople, and then to Jerusalem, the holiest city in the three great monotheistic faiths (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism). In 961, Recemundus pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gregory Of Elvira
Gregory Baeticus (died c. 392) was the bishop of Elvira, in the province of Baetica, Spain. Life Gregory is first met with as Bishop of Elvira (Illiberis) in 375; he is mentioned in the Luciferian " Libellus precum ad Imperatores" as the defender of the Nicean creed, after Bishop Hosius of Cordova had given his assent in Sirmium to the second Sirmian formulation of doctrine, in the year 357. He proved himself at any rate an ardent opponent of Arianism, stood for the Nicean creed at the Council of Rimini, and refused to enter into ecclesiastical intercourse with the Arian bishops Ursacius of Singidunum and Valens of Mursa. He took, in fact, the extreme view, in common with Bishop Lucifer of Calaris (Cagliari), that it was unlawful to make advances to bishops or priests who at any time had been associated with Arianism, or to hold any religious communion with them. This Luciferian party found adherents in Spain, and on the death of Lucifer (370 or 371) Gregory of Elvira became th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caecilius Of Elvira
Saint Caecilius (''Cecil, Cecilius, Cäcilius'', ) is venerated as the patron saint of Granada, Spain. Life Tradition makes him a Christian missionary of the 1st century, during the Apostolic Age. Caecilius first worked as an itinerant bishop in the area of Roussillon. He then evangelized the town of ''Iliberri'' or ''Iliberis'' (Elvira/Granada), and became its first bishop. He is thus considered the founder of the archdiocese of Granada, established around 64 AD. Elvira's first bishop, according to the '' Glosas Emilianenses'', was Caecilius. Tradition states that he wrote some didactic treatises and that he was burned to death during the reign of Nero. He is one of the group of Seven Apostolic Men (''siete varones apostólicos''), seven Christian clerics ordained in Rome by Saints Peter and Paul and sent to evangelize Spain. Besides Caecilius, this group includes Sts. Hesychius, Ctesiphon, Torquatus, Euphrasius, Indaletius, and Secundius (''Isicio, Cecilio, Tesif ...

Codex Emilianense
The codex (: codices ) was the historical ancestor format of the modern book. Technically, the vast majority of modern books use the codex format of a stack of pages bound at one edge, along the side of the text. But the term ''codex'' is now reserved for older manuscript books, which mostly used sheets of vellum, parchment, or papyrus, rather than paper. By convention, the term is also used for any Aztec codex (although the earlier examples do not actually use the codex format), Maya codices and other pre-Columbian manuscripts. Library practices have led to many European manuscripts having "codex" as part of their usual name, as with the Codex Gigas, while most do not. Modern books are divided into paperback (or softback) and those bound with stiff boards, called hardbacks. Elaborate historical bindings are called treasure bindings. At least in the Western world, the main alternative to the paged codex format for a long document was the continuous scroll, which was the domina ...

Necrology
An obituary ( obit for short) is an article about a recently deceased person. Newspapers often publish obituaries as news articles. Although obituaries tend to focus on positive aspects of the subject's life, this is not always the case. According to Nigel Farndale, the Obituaries Editor of ''The Times'', obituaries ought to be "balanced accounts" written in a "deadpan" style, and should not read like a hagiography. In local newspapers, an obituary may be published for any local resident upon death. A necrology is a register or list of records of the deaths of people related to a particular organization, group or field, which may only contain the sparsest details, or small obituaries. Historical necrologies can be important sources of information. Two types of paid advertisements are related to obituaries. One, known as a death notice, usually appears in the Births, Marriages and Deaths (BMD) section of a paper and omits most biographical details and may be a legally requi ...
