Religion

Roman Catholicism


Catharine of Aragon (Castilian: Catalina de Aragón; Aragonese: Catarina d'Aragón; December 16, 1485 – January 7, 1536) was Queen of England as the first wife of King Henry VIII of England and previously Princess of Wales as the wife of Prince Arthur. In 1507, she also held the position of ambassador for the Spanish Court in England when her father found himself without one, becoming the first female ambassador in European history.[1] For six months, she served as regent of England while Henry VIII was in France. During that time the English won the Battle of Flodden, an event in which Catherine played an important part. She was considered one of the more pious women of her time.[2]

Catherine was born at the Archbishop's Palace in Alcalá de Henares near Madrid, on the night of December 16, 1485. She was the youngest surviving child of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.[8] Catherine was quite short in stature[9] with long red hair, wide blue eyes, a round face, and a fair complexion.[10]She was descended, on her maternal side, from the English royal house; her great-grandmother Catherine of Lancaster, after whom she was named, and her great-great-grandmother Philippa of Lancaster were both daughters of John of Gaunt and granddaughters of Edward III of England. Consequently she was third cousin of her father-in-law, Henry VII of England,[11] and fourth cousin of her mother-in-law Elizabeth of York.

Catherine was educated by a tutor, Alessandro Geraldini, who was a clerk in Holy Orders. She studied religion, the classics, Latin histories, canon and civil law, heraldry, and genealogy. She had a strong religious upbringing and developed a faith that would play a major role in later life.[12] She learned to speak, read and write in Spanish and Latin, and spoke French and Greek. She was also taught domestic skills, such as needlepoint, lace-making, embroidery, music and dancing.[13] The great scholar Erasmus would later say that Catherine "loved good literature which she had studied with success since childhood".[14]

At an early age, Catherine was considered a suitable wife for Arthur, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Henry VII of England and heir to the throne, due to the English ancestry she inherited from her mother Queen Isabella I of Castile. By means of her mother, Catherine had a stronger legitimate claim to the English throne than King Henry VII himself through the first two wives of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster: Blanche of Lancaster and the Spanish Infanta Constance of Castile. In contrast, Henry VII was the descendant of Gaunt's third marriage to Katherine Swynford, whose children were born out of wedlock and only legitimised after the death of Constance and the marriage of John to Katherine. The children of John and Katherine, while legitimised, were barred from ever inheriting the English throne, a stricture that was ignored in later generations. Because of Henry's descent through illegitimate children barred from succession to the English throne, the Tudor monarchy was not accepted by all European kingdoms. At the time, the house of Trastámara was the most prestigious in Europe,[11] due to the rule of the Catholic Monarchs, so the alliance of Catherine and Arthur validated the House of Tudor in the eyes of European royalty and also strengthened the Tudor claim to the English throne via Catherine of Aragon's ancestry.

[4]

December 16, 1569: All the rebel forces were by this time entirely routed, and hotly pursued by the queen's troops. The insurgents made for the northern borders in all haste, and their principal leaders fled into Scotland, among others the Earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland.



The insurrection of the Earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland once suppressed, the Earl of Sussex resolved to inflict exemplary punishment on the rebels. Martial law was proclaimed, and many of these unhappy persons were put to death under the most frightful punishments. Three hundred were executed in the county of Durham alone, and thousands were condemned to perpetual imprisonment.



Queen Elizabeth also demanded that those who had taken refuge in Scotland should be delivered up ; but the Lairds of Buccleuch and Fernihurst, as also the noble heads of the clans Hume, Scot, Carr, Max-

well, and Johnstone, with whom the greater part of the English exiles found an asylum, soon placed them out of danger, by procuring them the means of escape to Flanders. The Earl of Northumberland alone did not escape ; he was given up to Murray, who imprisoned him in Loch Leven castle.



During the time of these disturbances, Mary remained at Coventry, under ward of the Earls of Shrewsbury and Huntingdon. Being unable to obtain any reply from Elizabeth, she frequently wrote to Cecil. She managed also to establish a correspondence with the Duke of Norfolk. [5]

December 1607: Encounter with Pocahontas' tribe

Pocahontas throws herself over Smith to save his life, 1870 depiction

In December 1607, while seeking food along the Chickahominy River, Smith was captured and taken to meet the chief of the Powhatans at Werowocomoco, the main village of the Powhatan Confederacy. The village was on the north shore of the York River about 15 miles due north of Jamestown and 25 miles downstream from where the river forms from the Pamunkey River and the Mattaponi River at West Point, Virginia. Although he feared for his life, Smith was eventually released without harm and later attributed this in part to the chief's daughter, Pocahontas, who according to Smith, threw herself across his body:[19] "at the minute of my execution, she hazarded [i.e. risked] the beating out of her own brains to save mine; and not only that, but so prevailed with her father, that I was safely conducted to Jamestown".[20]

In 1860 Boston businessman and historian Charles Deane was the first scholar to question specific details of Smith's writings. Smith's version of events is the only source and skepticism has increasingly been expressed about its veracity. One reason for such doubt is that, despite having published two earlier books about Virginia, Smith's earliest-surviving account of his rescue by Pocahontas dates from 1616, nearly 10 years later, in a letter entreating Queen Anne to treat Pocahontas with dignity.[20] The time gap in publishing his story raises the possibility that Smith may have exaggerated or invented the event to enhance Pocahontas's image. However, in a recent book, Professor J. A. Leo Lemay of the University of Delaware points out that Smith's earlier writing was primarily geographical and ethnographic in nature and did not dwell on his personal experiences; hence there was no reason for him to write down the story until this point.[21]

Henry Brooks Adams, the pre-eminent Harvard historian of the second half of the 19th century, attempted to debunk Smith’s claims of heroism. He said that Smith’s recounting of the story of Pocahontas had been progressively embellished, made up of “falsehoods of an effrontery seldom equaled in modern times.” Although there is consensus among historians that Smith tended to exaggerate, his account does seem to be consistent with the basic facts of his life. Adams' attack on Smith, an attempt to deface one of the icons of Southern history, was motivated by political considerations in the wake of the Civil War. Adams had been influenced to write his fusillade against Smith by John G. Palfrey who was promoting New England colonisation, as opposed to southern settlement, as the founding of America. The accuracy of Smith’s accounts has continued to be a subject of debate over the centuries.[22]

Some experts have suggested that although Smith believed he had been rescued, he had in fact been involved in a ritual intended to symbolize his death and rebirth as a member of the tribe.[23][24] In Love and Hate in Jamestown, David A. Price notes that this is only guesswork, since little is known of Powhatan rituals, and there is no evidence for any similar rituals among other Native American tribes in North America.[25]

In True Travels (1630), Smith told a similar story of having been rescued by the intervention of a young girl after having been captured in 1602 by Turks in Hungary. Karen Kupperman suggests that he "presented those remembered events from decades earlier" when telling the story of Pocahontas.[26]

Whatever really happened, the encounter initiated a friendly relationship between the natives and Smith and the colonists at Jamestown. As the colonists expanded further, some of the tribes felt that their lands were threatened, and conflicts arose again.

In 1608, Pocahontas is said to have saved Smith a second time. Smith and some other colonists were invited to Werowocomoco by Chief Powhatan on friendly terms, but Pocahontas came to the hut where the English were staying and warned them that Powhatan was planning to kill them. Due to this warning, the English stayed on their guard and the attack never came.[27]

Also in 1608, Polish craftsmen were brought to the colony to help it develop. Smith wrote that two Poles rescued him when he was attacked by a native American.[28][9]

December 16, 1607: Mary (April 8, 1605 Greenwich Palace – December 16, 1607 Stanwell, Surrey). Died aged two. [10]

December 16, 1645: Capt. William Pierce. In 1623, captain of Governor Wyatt's guard and lt.-gov. of James City. Prepared in 1629, in England "A Relation of the Present State of the Colony of Virginia, by Capt. William Perse, an ancient planter of twenty years standing there." Capt. Pierce came with Sir Thomas Gates. Appointed to the Council in 1631. Member of the Convention, 1625. Patent, December 16, 1645, p. 149. His daughter Jane was the third wife of John Rolfe. [11]

December 1647: Henrietta was increasingly depressed and anxious in France,[94] from where she attempted to convince Charles to accept a Presbyterian government in England as a means of mobilising Scottish support for the re-invasion of England and the defeat of Parliament. In December 1647, she was horrified when Charles rejected the "Four Bills" offered to him by Parliament as a peace settlement.[95] Charles had secretly signed the "The Engagement" with the Scots, however, promising a Presbyterian government in England with the exception of Charles' own household.[95] The result was the Second Civil War, which despite Henrietta's efforts to send it some limited military aid,[96] ended in 1648 with the defeat of the Scots and Charles' capture by Parliamentary forces.[96]

In France, meanwhile, a "hothouse" atmosphere had developed amongst the royal court in exile at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.[91] Henrietta had been joined by a wide collection of Royalist exiles, including Henry Wilmot, George Digby, Henry Percy, John Colepeper, and Charles Gerard. The Queen's court was beset with factionalism, rivalry and dueling; Henrietta had to prevent Prince Rupert from fighting a duel with Digby, arresting them both, but she was unable to prevent a later duel between Digby and Percy, and between Rupert and Percy shortly after that.[97]

King Charles was executed by Parliament in 1649; his death left Henrietta almost destitute and in shock,[58] a situation not helped by the French civil war of the Fronde, which left Henrietta's nephew King Louis XIV short of money himself. Henrietta also was no longer the Queen but the Queen Mother to the young King Charles II. During the ensuing, and final, Third English Civil War the whole of the Royalist circle now based itself from St-Germain, with the Queen Mother's followers being joined by the old Royalist circle who had been with Charles II at the Hague, including Ormonde and Inchiquin and Clarendon, whom she particularly disliked.[98] She also quarrelled with Ormonde: when she said that if she had been trusted the King would be in England, Ormonde, with his usual bluntness, retorted that if she had never been trusted the King need never have left England. Co-location began to bring the factions together, but Henrietta's influence was waning. In 1654, Charles II moved his court on to Cologne, eliminating the remaining influence of the Queen Mother in St-Germain.[99]

Henrietta increasingly focused on her faith and on her children, especially Henriette (whom she called "Minette"), James and Henry.[100] Henrietta attempted to convert both Princes James and Henry to Catholicism,[100] her attempts with Henry angering both Royalists in exile and Charles II. Henriette, however, was brought up a Catholic.[100] Henrietta had founded a convent at Chaillot in 1651, and she lived there for much of the 1650s.[101]

Henrietta Maria under the Restoration[edit]

December 1648: Those Members of Parliament who wished to continue negotiations with the king were prevented from sitting for parliament by a troop of soldiers headed by Colonel Thomas Pride, an episode soon to be known as Pride's Purge. Thus weakened, the remaining body of MPs, known as the Rump, agreed that Charles should be tried on a charge of treason. Cromwell was still in the north of England, dealing with Royalist resistance, when these events took place, but then returned to London. On the day after Pride's Purge, he became a determined supporter of those pushing for the king's trial and execution, believing that killing Charles was the only way to end the civil wars. Cromwell approved Thomas Brook's address to the House of Commons, which justified the trial and execution of the King on the basis of the Book of Numbers, chapter 35 and particularly verse 33 ("The land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it."). The death warrant for Charles was eventually signed by 59 of the trying court's members, including Cromwell (who was the third to sign it); Fairfax conspicuously refused to sign. [13]











December 16, 1653: Cromwell dismissed the Rump Parliament by force, setting up a short-lived nominated assembly known as the Barebones Parliament, before being invited by his fellow leaders to rule as Lord Protector of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland from December 16, 1653.[2] As a ruler he executed an aggressive and effective foreign policy. [14]

December 16, 1653: Cromwell was sworn in as Lord Protector on December 16, 1653, with a ceremony in which he wore plain black clothing, rather than any monarchical regalia.[90] However, from this point on Cromwell signed his name 'Oliver P', the P being an abbreviation for Protector, which was similar to the style of monarchs who used an R to mean Rex or Regina, and it soon became the norm for others to address him as "Your Highness".[91] As Protector, he had the power to call and dissolve parliaments but was obliged under the Instrument to seek the majority vote of a Council of State. Nevertheless, Cromwell's power was buttressed by his continuing popularity among the army. As the Lord Protector he was paid £100,000 a year.[92]

Cromwell had two key objectives as Lord Protector. The first was "healing and settling" the nation after the chaos of the civil wars and the regicide, which meant establishing a stable form for the new government to take.[93] Although Cromwell declared to the first Protectorate Parliament that, "Government by one man and a parliament is fundamental," in practice social priorities took precedence over forms of government. Such forms were, he said, "but ... dross and dung in comparison of Christ".[94] The social priorities did not, despite the revolutionary nature of the government, include any meaningful attempt to reform the social order. Cromwell declared, "A nobleman, a gentleman, a yeoman; the distinction of these: that is a good interest of the nation, and a great one!",[95] Small-scale reform such as that carried out on the judicial system were outweighed by attempts to restore order to English politics. Direct taxation was reduced slightly and peace was made with the Dutch, ending the First Anglo-Dutch War.

England's American colonies in this period consisted of the New England Confederation, the Providence Plantation, the Virginia Colony and the Maryland Colony. Cromwell soon secured the submission of these and largely left them to their own affairs, intervening only to curb his fellow Puritans who were usurping control over the Maryland Colony at the Battle of the Severn, by his confirming the former Catholic proprietorship and edict of tolerance there. Of all the English dominions, Virginia was the most resentful of Cromwell's rule, and Cavalier emigration there mushroomed during the Protectorate. [15]

December 1655: As Lord Protector, Cromwell was aware of the contribution the Jewish community made to the economic success of Holland, now England's leading commercial rival. It was this—allied to Cromwell's tolerance of the right to private worship of those who fell outside evangelical Puritanism—that led to his encouraging Jews to return to England in 1657, over 350 years after their banishment by Edward I, in the hope that they would help speed up the recovery of the country after the disruption of the Civil Wars.[99] There was a longer-term motive for Cromwell's decision to allow the Jews to return to England, and that was the hope that they would convert to Christianity and therefore hasten the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, ultimately based on Matthew 23:37–39 and Romans 11. At the Whitehall conference of December 1655 he quoted from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans 10:12–15 on the need to send Christian preachers to the Jews. Cromwell's long-term religious motive for readmitting the Jews to England should not be doubted, after all he was serious enough to ban Christmas as a pagan festival. William Prynne the Presbyterian, unlike Cromwell the Congregationalist, was strongly opposed to the latter's pro-Jewish policy.[100] [16]

December 1695: John Battaile’s eldest son, John, was born in December 1695, and

died March 4, 1732-3. He married Sarah _____. This well known family

has spread widely through the South and West.[17]



December 16, 1740: The War of Austrian Succession began on December 16, 1740, when Frederick invaded and quickly occupied Silesia.[22] Frederick was worried that, if he did not move to occupy Silesia, Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, would seek to connect his own disparate lands through Silesia. Therefore, the Prussian king struck pre-emptively and quickly occupied Silesia, using as justification an obscure treaty from 1537 between the Hohenzollern and the Piast dynasty of Brieg (Brzeg).
Frederick had occupied Silesia, except for three fortresses at Glogau, Brieg and Breslau,[23] in just seven weeks, despite poor roads and bad weather.[24] The fortress at Ohlau fell to Frederick almost immediately and became the winter quarters for Frederick's army.[22] [18]



December 16, 1772: (GW) Valentine Crawford who came yesterday went away today.

December 16, 1773: (GW) Mr. Val Crawford who came yesterday and went this day.[19]



Old South Church, Boston.[20]

December 16, 1773
The deadline was midnight, December 16. That day, some 7,000 citizens came to Old South, spilling out into the surrounding streets. Samuel Adams chaired the meeting, and a delegation was sent to Governor Huchinson’s country estate with a final plea.
At a quarter to six, the delegation returned. Hutchinson had once again refused. Adams asked a few questions; then he said, resignedly, “Gentlemen, this meeting can do nothing more to save the country.”
Adams was not accepting defeat; he was giving a signal.
Nearly a hundred men, disguised as Mohawk Indians, suddenly appeared outside the meeting house doors. Amidst war whoops, the cry “To the wharves!” rang out. “Boston Harbour a teapot tonight!” The “Indians”, followed by 2,000 spectators, rushed down to Griffin’s Wharf.
The protest over tea was costly. The East India Company’s destroyed cargo was valued at 45 times the price of Paul Rever’s sevenroom house.
Destroyed were 342 chests, half-chests, and quarter chests of tea, wighing 92, 626 pounds in all, more than 46 tons of tea leaves, enough to make 18,523,200 cups! And tea was a luxery then. TheEast India Company’s losses mounted to L9,659; today the ruined tea would cost about a million dollars in the grocery![21]
Parliament retaliated by taking away Boston’s self-government and even its livelihood, the port. The troops returned, and soon colonists began to prepare for the inevitable war.[22]

What came to be known as the Boston Tea Party would lead to the war of American independence. Many scholars believe that Mason’s were deaply involved in the Tea Party. Brothers were known to have met regularly at the Green Dragon Tavern where it was more than likely where the plot was hatched. Their former Lodge Master was Paul Revere, an artist and patriot that made an engraving of the Boston Massacre.[23]
Another brother was Joseph Warren, who died in the Battle of Bunker Hill.[24]

[25]

After the Tea Party, British officials banned town meetings and restricted the use of Faneuil Hall. The Cradle of Liberty became a barracks for troops, then a theatre for their amusement. One performace of a farce written by General Burgoyune was rudely interrupted by the news of an American attack. All of the actors and most of the audience rushed out to take their posts.[26]

Uniforms used by “The Ancients” at Faneuil Hall, in Boston.

The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, or Ancients, as they are called, are America’s first and oldest militia organization. Founded in 1637 to protect the colony against Indian attack, they were a “School for Officers and a Nursery for Soldiers”. Members of the Company dumped tea into Boston Harbor and fought at Bunker Hill; indeed, they have fought in every American war since the 17th century. As a unit, however, their only service was with Myles Standish in a 1645 skirmish with native Americans, and again in Say’s Rebellion in 1787.[28]

No. 19.—CRAWFORD TO WASHINGTON.



[No date.[29]]

SIR:—I should be glad to know how matters were settled at Fredericksburg, at the last meeting of the officers in regard to our lands under his Majesty’s proclamation. You may depend on my taking every step in my power to finish the soldiers’ land this fall and winter. As soon as any can be finished, it shall be sent to you by time hand of some person who shall bring it to you immediately. I waited on Colonel Mason on my return home, and have agreed with him to survey time Ohio land as soon as the land for the soldiers is done.

I am indebted to Mr. Hite for some goods had last spring of him before I went down the river, and I am obliged to give him an order on you for some money, which I hope you will pay as soon as you get it in your hands. Any news you may hear toward the new government that may concern me, I should be glad to hear as soon as convenient. Your lands on Chartier’s are safe yet; but how long they may continue so, I do not know, as the people that were going to settle on them at the time we come down were driven off, but attempted to return in the spring.

I shall settle some man on them if possible, and hope by that means to secure them. Everything in my power shall be done. They must be stronger than I and my party are if they take them. I have agreed to pay twenty pounds to Mr. Stephenson’s estate from you, which I should be obliged to you for. I am, etc.[30]

December 16, 1776

Benjamin Harrison [31] became Captain of the Eighth Virginia Regiment, December 16, 1776. He was “paid off” at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania* After the war was over, he moved to Berks County, where he appears in the ‘U. S. Census of 1790.[32] Benjamin Harrison is the compilers 5th great grandfather. Benjamin Harrison was appointed Captain in the 13th Virginia Regiment, December 16, 1776." (Heitman's Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army 1776-1783) Captain Benjamin Harrison, of the 13th Virginia Regiment, was a son of Lawrence Harrison, an early settler of Fayette County, Pa." (Wisconsin Historical Publications, Frontier Edition, Upper Ohio, Vol. 23, p. 165 and p. 386, by Kellog.) In 1782, Benjamin Harrison was made Colonel of the Westmoreland County Militia, Pennsylvania. Following the tragic death of his brother, Major William Harrison, removed to Kentucky, where he had prospected before the Revolutionary War. He settled in Bourbon, the older and mother of Harrison County, Kentucky. He was a delegate from Bourbon County to the convention that met at Danville, in 1787; also in 1788; again in 1792, at which, the Constitution of Kentucky was formed. He was a Senator from Bourbon; a member of the Legislature, in 1793, when Harrison County was established. This county was named for him.* (History of Kentucky, Vol. 2, pp. 271, 299, 327, 331 and 475, by Collins.) He was a trustee of the Harrison Academy, incorporated, 1798. (Littel's Index, p. 78.) ,"Benjamin Harrison, entitled to land allowed a Captain of the Continental Line for three years service:[33] - Benjamin Harrison was commissioned Captain in the 13th Virginia Regiment, Regiment designated as 9th Virginia., September 14, 1778. He was in service in 1780 and retired February 12, 1781 with rank of Major. Awarded 4,000 acres. [34]



December 16, 1811



George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton all played a part in the history of Clark County. So did the great chief Tecumseh. (Ref. 9.3) According to Allan Eckert in pages 537-543 of the “Frontiersmen,” Tecumseh had predicted two signs that were to be the “signs” of his followers to go to battle against the whites. One was a meteor across the heavens and another was to be an earthquake. (Page 537-543-Ref 9.31) On December 16, 1811, an earthquake shook the entire mid-section of North America exactly as predicted. It continued off and on for two days, the second on January 23, the third on January 27 and the worst, the fourth, on February 13, 1811, according to Allan Eckert’s narrative. It would have been the next August that Conrad Goodlove and William McKinnon would have entered the war; Conrad would have felt the earthquake tremors. [35]

The unusual seismic activity began at about 2 a.m. on December 16, 1811, when a strong tremor rocked the New Madrid region. The city of New Madrid, located near the Mississippi River in present-day Arkansas, had about 1,000 residents at the time, mostly farmers, hunters and fur trappers. At 7:15 a.m., an even more powerful quake erupted, now estimated to have had a magnitude of 8.6. This tremor literally knocked people off their feet and many people experienced nausea from the extensive rolling of the earth. Given that the area was sparsely populated and there weren't many multi-story structures, the death toll was relatively low. However, the quake did cause landslides that destroyed several communities, including Little Prairie, Missouri. [36]

[42]

December 16, 1942: A ghetto is established in Kharkov. Three weeks later approximately 15,000 Jews are killed in the Drobitski Ravine.[43]



December 16, 1944: On December 16, 1944 at the Opera Theater in Milan “The Duce” Mussolini delivered what was to be called his “redemption speech” in which he referred the German secret weapons…”We are not dealing with secret weapons but new weapons. It is obvious that they are secret until they are used in combat. The British can bitterly confirm that such weapons exist. I can assure you that the first attacks will be followed by others. Those attacks will reestablish the balance of power…and soon return it to the Germans hands. [44]



1945: In 1945 an explosion blew out windows and wrecked equipment in the research building. Three employees were injured: Fred Albinson, a chemist; George Keck, a
company fireman, and Kenneth Town, a lab assistant. My wife, the former Doris Dean, who worked in the laboratory, clearly remembers the incident as well as myself.
The blast buckled the ceiling of the basement and the floor of the first floor, knocking over and destroying analytical balances where Drs. Louis Waldbauer and Larry
Hallet worked and near the area where Dr. Isaac H. Godlove worked as head of the physical chemistry department. If my memory serves me correctly, Doris' boss,
Richard Towne, was attempting to co-polymerize methyl vinyl ether (made from methanol and acetylene) with maleic anhydride, using lauroyl peroxide catalyst. By
mistake, he used fifty times too much catalyst. The accident happened after working hours and they called in the company nurse to assist, but she got so nervous and
excited that they had to take care of her![45]



1945: In 1945, a major trove of manuscripts was unearthed from a cave near Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt, which included a small number of the sayings of Jesus dating from the second century C.E.[46] Included in the find were 52 documents in 13 papyrus books. Among the manuscripts, which were written in a Coptic translation of the original Greek, was the only complete copy ever found of the Gospel of Thomas, one of the so called Gnostic Gospels. This rich ollerction of banned religionus literatre included texts, and fragments of tests, that had been condemned by early champions of Christian orthodoxy such as Athanasius, Hegesippus, and Irenaueus, who wrote in the second, third, and fourth centuries C.E.The documents in these codices, dating back to the second dentury, were believed to have been originally part of a library at the nearby monastery of St. Pachomius.



The recovery of the complete Gospel of Thomas solved a major puzzle for schoolares. It confirmed something that had previously been only a hypothesis. Scholars had long thought that there had been a proto gospel, a collection of sayings they dubbed the Lost Gospel Q, one of the two sources from which the gospeols of Matthew and luke drew their material. The Gospel of Thomas proved conclusively that such sortys of codices had really existed. [47]



Early Christian teachings had remained something of a mystery until the discovery in 1945 of mystical Christian texts buried for more than a thousand years.

Named for the Egyptian town for which they were unearthed, this collection of some fifty works is known as the Nad Kamady library.

•

What the Nad Kamady library shows us is that the early Christian movement is enormously more interesting and complicated than we ever imagined. It shows us that instead of four gospels which have in the new testament it shows us that there are dozens and it shows us what they said and that they are really quite different.[48]
