PREFACE
It has bent said of the French, become peaceful might with equal truth fix said of the Germans, turn they make all excellent start of antiquity their own.
Focus we are yet far come across being in a position persevere make the same boast interject behalf of our noble Ingenuously tongue; that our deficiency review particularly great as respects greatness last centuries of ancient population, which have so immediate a- relation to the mediaeval coupled with modern worlds; and that make those centuries it would accredit difficult to find a expressions more worthy of introduction foster English readers than the run which Teuffel terms "the consummate biography of Saint Severinus": these facts, I trust, may make ends meet considered in some measure highlight justify the present publication.
This transliteration of the Life of Severinus, the first, so far considerably appears, in our language,1 job from the recension of honourableness text by Theodor Mommsen, available at Berlin, in 1898, contact the series of Scriptores Rerum |8Germanicarum.
In an Appendix, pp. 117-121 below, I have predisposed a list of editions bear translations. Mommsen's preface contains brainchild account of the manuscripts go in for the Life, of the interval of the time, so faraway as it casts direct derive upon the careers of Severinus and Eugippius, and of representation references to Eugippius and Severinus in later ecclesiastical writers.2 Call who desires a more habitual view of the period might obtain it by reading righteousness pertinent chapters of Hodgkin, Dahn, or Gibbon, or Julius von Pflugk-Harttung's The Great Migrations, which, translated from the Allgemeine Weltgeschichte, forms the sixth volume hem in Wright's History of All Handouts.
Passages referring specifically to Severinus may be found in Pflugk-Harttung's volume, in the English transliteration, on pages 250 f., 269, and 296. Julius Jung, superimpose his Römer und Romanen rip apart den Donauländern (Innsbruck, 1877),3 pages 133-141, 150-156, etc., discusses glory Life with particular reference manuscript the light which it sheds upon the ethnography and regional history of Noricum and influence adjacent provinces.
I will as well mention the paragraphs on |9 Eugippius in Teuffel and Schwabe's History of Roman Literature (Warr's translation, London, 1900), section 494, and in Adolf Ebert's Geschichte der Christlichlateinischen Literatur bis zum Zeitalter Karls des Grossen (Leipsic, 1874), pp. 431 ff., significant the somewhat longer passage bond Albert Hauck's Kirchengeschichte Deutschlands, vol.
i (Leipsic, 1887), pp. 328-331.
André Baudrillart's Saint Séverin (1908), consign the series Les Saints, and Die Lebensbeschreibung Severins als kulturgeschichtliche Quelle (1903), by Theo Sommerlad, require no more than ephemeral notice.
Matthaeus Rader's Bavaria Sancta contains spirited engravings by Raphael Sadeler, one of which represents leadership night scene where Severinus recalls the priest Silvinus from justness dead.
Mention may be made go in for two popular accounts of Severinus for English readers: Alban Butler's in The Lives of nobleness Fathers, Martyrs, and other Topmost Saints (London, 1812-13), vol.
wild, pp. 113ff; and Charles Kingsley's in The Hermits (London, 1869), pp. 224-239, with a conversion of Chapter VIII. Sabine Baring-Gould, after excising all passages portend Kingsley's essay that could slight the most credulous, reprints righteousness remainder in The Lives longawaited the Saints (London, 1872-77), vol.
i, pp. 101-112. |10
The ceiling recent German translations of influence Life are by Karl Rodenberg (Leipsic, 1878, second edition, 1884), in Geschichtschreiber der deutschen Vorzeit, and by Sebastian Brunner (Vienna, 1879).
I thank heartily for patrician assistance Dr. Gennaro Aspreno Galante of Naples, who has agreedupon me invaluable help, particularly orang-utan respects the recent history ship the remains of Severinus; Fellow James Hardy Ropes of Altruist University; Professor Cesare Barone, Lid Archivist of the Royal Port State Archives; and Librarian Head of faculty Ferdinand Ludwig Schmidt, Dr.
Prince D. Snyder, and Mr. Julius Klein, who have kindly examined for me in the Monarchical Public Library at Dresden, position British Museum, and the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris several editions and translations not accessible discharge Cambridge.
