This Day…

January 31, 439: Promulgation of the Code of Theodosius II in the Byzantine Empire. This was the first imperial compilation of anti- Jewish laws since Constantine. Jews were prohibited from holding important positions involving money including judicial and executive offices and the ban against building new synagogues was reinstated. Theodosius was the Roman emperor of the East (408–450) The Code was readily accepted as well by Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III (425-455).[1]

451 A.D. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 was repudiated by the far larger congreagations of Monophysites in Egyupyt and in Syria.[2]

455 A.D. Attila the Huns reign of terror in the Baltic has just ended. The mysterious drawings are etched into the arid Peruvian landscape.[3]

Tiqhernac further states that Fergus the Second, son of Erc, held a part of Britain with the Dalriadic Kingdom and died A.D. 502; that Lochene, the son of Fingen, King of the Cruithne, or Picts, died A.D. 645; that Fearchar Fada died A.D. 697 (?); that there was a slaughter the Picts and Saxons when Findgaine, son of Deleroitb, was killed A.D. 711; that Ainbceallach, son of Fearchar Fada, was slain by his brother A.D. 719; that Finguine, sone of Drostan, and Ferot, son of Finguine, officers of King Nechtan, were slain in battle A.D. 729;[4]

In 476, Odoacer the Scirian, the commander and elected king of the German troops in the former Roman Empire, deposed Romulus Augustus, ending nearly one thousand years of Roman dominance in the Mediterranean. The defeat caused difficult times for gentile and Jew alike, sending many people north into Europe to seek a safer, more stable life.[5]

476 A.D.

After the Roman Empire collapsed in 476, causing the withdrawal of the Roman military from Britain, the gospel was spread though the efforts of Celtic missionaries sent out from the theological school founded by Columba on the little island of Iona near the coast of Scotland. [6] The fall of the Roman Empire in 476 sent Europe plunging into the darkness of the Middle Ages, a darkness made all the deeper by the absence of a Bible that was understandable to the masses. Latin eventually became a deead language to the common layman, the result being that the Bible became a closed book. Few laymken knew enough Latin to understand the verses the priests would read at Mass. Many of the priests knew just enough Latin to mumble through their liturgies.
The Bible remained a venerated book but a closed book, and would remain so for centuries to com.[7]

Great cities fell into ruins, roads became overgrown with weeds, trake collapsed, and the wide spread rule of Roman law ended. For almost a millennium the people of Europe huddled together for protection in small towns and villages in the countryside. Most barely eked out an existence from the soil, as war, disease, and famine routinely spread over the land.[8]

Abt 500

The Christian religion was introduced in Scotland about 500 A.D. and new troubles were experienced by the converts.[9]

By the 6th century, Jews have become a minority in their own land.[10]

January 31, 1253: Henry III of England ordered that Jewish worship in Synagogues must be held quietly so that Christians should not have to hear it when passing by. In addition Jews were not to employ Christian nurses or maids, nor was any Jew allowed to prevent another Jew from converting to Christianity.[12]



1254

(Eleanor of Castile), daughter of Ferdinand III, king of Castile and Len. In 1254 she married Prince Edward, later Edward I of England, the eldest son of King Henry III.[13]



1261: In a court case in Barkshire in southern England in 1261 a man by the name of Robert, son of William LeFevre was an outlaw and was brought before the court and the clerk of the court changed his name to Robert the Hood.[14]



1263



Opposite Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skye Bridge, Caisteal Maol sits on a small island just to the east of Kyleakin. The name of the village comes from 'kyle' - the narrow strait of water between Skye and the mainland - and 'akin' after the Norwegian King Haakon IV who sailed through here in 1263 on his way to defeat at the Battle of Largs which ultimately decided the ownership of the Hebrides. [15]

1264

King Boleslav V, the Chaste, granted the Jews liberal charters of self-government (1264). The Jews were helping him to build cities and to found industry and commerce, enabling him to compete economically with the West. Like the nobels, the Jews owned land and large estates. They lived in city and village. Casimir III, the Great, the Charlemagne of Poland, founded universities, encouraged trade, and imported even more Jews to accelerate the hum of commerce and industry. Vivovt, Grand Duke of Lithuania, opened that country for Jewish settlement.[16]

1266

During the government of the Lords of the Isles, which commenced on the abandonment of their conquests by the Norwegians to the King of Scotland, A.D. 1266 and terminated at the forfeiture of the last lord, A.D. 1493 (temp. James III.), but little can be gathered concerning the deeds of the clan, as, in consequence of their connection with the MacDonalds, many a bold enterprise was doubtless attributed to that powerful tribe which held sway over the lesser tribes, and which would naturally include their actions amongst their own.[17]

January 31, 1419: Pope Martin V issued a Bull that abolished the oppressive laws promulgated by antipope Benedict XIII and granted the Jews those privileges which had been accorded them under previous popes.[18]


A variation on the "Church versus Synagogue" theme: the Church is a knight riding a horse, threatening the Synagogue, a Jew riding a pig, with his sword.

1420

With the death of Vivelin/Gutleben the history of our Swiss-Upper Rhine physician family is not yet at its end, however. Let us turn next to the physician Peter Gutleben, who practiced in the first half of the 15th century for several decades in Colmar. As the first name Peter already dindicates, this Gutleben was not a Jew, but a Christian. The last name and place of his activity indicate that we are dealing in all likelihood with Master Gutleben’s son Isaak, with whom the former had acquired the right to citizenship in Freiburg in Breisgau in 1373. Thus Isaak may have converted to Christianity in the last quarter of the 14th century at a date not exactly known to us a step which also the descendants of the Basel Jew Mathis of Colmar, who had been in personal contact with Gutleben, perhaps took, contrary to Ginsburger’s doubts. In a Basel document, in the year 1420, we encounter this Peter Gutleben as the husband of a certain Grete Pfetterhusen, a fact from which one must again conclude that Peter Gutleben was a Christian. However, in addition to that, he is given the identification of “from Friburg,” although he lived in Colmar at that time. Likely this classification comes from the time that Peter Gutleben, alias Isaak, spent in Freiburg. It is also possible that Isaak was baptized in Freiburg, as for example the infamous convert Hans from Strassburg who received baptism in that city in the 15th century, but in no way could have been a Jew from Strassburg.[20]

1421-1422

Jews expelled from Austria resettled in Ternopol, Czech[21] in 1421[22].

1421: China.

Elsewhere, it’s the rise of the Aztec empire in Central America. Joan of Arce will lead the French in the Hundred Years War. In China it’s the Ming Dynasty. Under Emperor Ju di, Admiral Zheng He is in command of what will become the largest maritime fleet in the world. “We have traversed more than one-hundred thousand li of immense water spaces…” “We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away.” Zheng he

One hundred thousand Li is about 30,000 miles, roughly the distance from the port in Non Jing, to the Americas, and back. [23]

A map was produced from the voyages of Zheng he the showed the whole world accurately. The person that made this map in 1763 wrote on the map that he had copied it from one drawn earlier in 1418. At that time records showed that Zheng He’s fleet was already traveling as far as Africa. If authentic this would be the first map of the world. It could only have been made if someone traveled along the American coastline.[24]

January 31, 1493: Jews fleeing Spain were no longer allowed to enter to enter Genoa. During the previous year Jews fleeing Spain were allowed to land in Genoa for three days. As of this date the special consideration was cancelled due to the “fear” that the Jews may introduce the Plague.[25]

1494 Jews expelled from Silesia, most going to Poland.[26]

January 31, 1773



31. Preached at Laury Irwin’s-the week past Mr. F. came to see me.

Saw a large Indian fortification at Stewart’s Crossings. Saw an Indian, Joseph Wapee, who informed me, that the forts in the Ohio country were places of retreat and defence, made by the ancient inhabitants, against the Catawbas. This probably he received by tradition from his ancestors. Visited the settlement until February 4. [27]





On January 31st, 1780, a heavy fog arose, forcing the admiral to put to sea again because a storm might develop. [28]

January 31, 1872: Zane Grey, author of Riders of the Purple Sage, is born in Zanesville, Ohio.

The son of a successful dentist, Grey enjoyed a happy and solid upper-middle-class childhood, marred only by occasional fistfights with boys who teased him about his unusual first name, Pearl. (Grey later replaced it with his mother's maiden name, Zane.) A talented baseball player as teen, Grey caught the eye of a scout for the University of Pennsylvania college team, who convinced him to study there. In 1886, he graduated with a degree in dentistry and moved to New York to begin his practice.

Grey's interest in dentistry was half-hearted at best, and he did not relish the idea of replicating his father's safe but unexciting career path. Searching for an alternative, Grey decided to try his hand at writing; his first attempt was an uninspiring historical novel about a family ancestress. At that point, Grey might well have been doomed to a life of dentistry, had he not met Colonel C. J. "Buffalo" Jones in 1908, who convinced Grey to write Jones' biography. More importantly, Jones took him out West to gather material for the book, and Grey became deeply fascinated with the people and landscape of the region.

Grey's biography of Jones debuted in 1908 as The Last of the Plainsmen to little attention, but he was inspired to concentrate his efforts on writing historical romances of the West. In 1912, he published the novel that earned him lasting fame, Riders of the Purple Sage. Like the equally popular Owen Wister novel, The Virginian (1902), the basic theme of Riders revolves around the transformation of a weak and effeminate easterner into a man of character and strength through his exposure to the culture and land of the American West. Grey's protagonist, the Ohio-born Bern Venters, spends several weeks being tested by the rugged canyon country of southern Utah before finding his way back to civilization. Venters, Grey writes, "had gone away a boy-he had returned a man."

Though Riders of the Purple Sage was Grey's most popular novel, he wrote 78 other books during his prolific career, most of them Westerns. He died in 1939, but Grey's work continued to be extraordinarily popular for decades to come, and by 1955, his books had sold more than 31 millions copies around the world. With the possible exception of Riders, today Grey's books are little read, and most modern readers find them insufferably pompous, moralizing, and sentimental. Nonetheless, Grey played a pivotal role in creating the Western genre that, in the hands of more recent authors like Louis L'Amour, continues to charm many dedicated fans.[30]

Taken sixty five years ago, the above picture shows what was probably the first reunion of the early settlers of Linn county held at Mt. Vernon. Included in the picture are many of the pioneers whose names stand out baravely in the history of a century of growth in Linn county. This reunion was long before the Linn County Old Settlers association was formed. The picture is the property of Mrs. Mary English, whose father, Richard Thjomas, was one those included in the picture. It won first prize in the Old Pictures Contest conducted the Sentinel this spring.[33]



1872: Cynthiana, Kentucky: The first city public school was in the old Harrison Academy building on South Church Street. The trustees of the Academy gave gave their part of the building to the City. The second floor of the building was owned by the Masonic Lodge, they sold their part of the building to the City for $2,000.00.[34]


January 31, 1934

Congress passes the Farm Mortgage Refinancing Act, providing easier credit terms to farmers.[35]



January 31, 1938: The Palestine Post reported that Romania officially denounced the Minorities Treaty intowhich it had entered upon gaining independence at the Peace Conference at Versailles, and claimed that the Jewish question was now "a purely internal matter" over which the League of Nations had no more jurisdiction. This meant that Romania now felt free to implement still more severe anti-Semitic discriminatory measures.[36]

January 31, 1938: The Palestine Post reported on the rise of anti-Jewish feelings and vandalism in Yugoslavia including the fact that "local Nazis" had smashed the windows out of the Sephardic synagogue of Belgrade.[37]



January 31, 1941: Three thousand Jews were taken from their villages and moved into the Warsaw Ghetto. Another 70,000 Jews would be uprooted and moved into the Warsaw Ghetto by the end of March.[38]



January 31, 1942: Einsatzgruppe A commanding officer, Franz W. Stahlecker, sent a detailed report about activities in the Baltic and White Russian countries. It stated that between July 23 and October 15, 1941, 135,567 Jews were killed. Eichmann sent out a letter making official the conclusions of the Wannsee Conference, "The evacuation of the Jews . . . is the beginning of the final solution of the Jewish problem."[39]

January 31, 1943

German General Paulus surrenders his army to the Soviets in Stalingrad.[42]

January 31, 1950: U.S. President Harry S. Truman publicly announces his decision to support the development of the hydrogen bomb, a weapon theorized to be hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II.

Five months earlier, the United States had lost its nuclear supremacy when the Soviet Union successfully detonated an atomic bomb at their test site in Kazakhstan. Then, several weeks after that, British and U.S. intelligence came to the staggering conclusion that German-born Klaus Fuchs, a top-ranking scientist in the U.S. nuclear program, was a spy for the Soviet Union. These two events, and the fact that the Soviets now knew everything that the Americans did about how to build a hydrogen bomb, led Truman to approve massive funding for the superpower race to complete the world's first "superbomb," as he described it in his public announcement on January 31.

On November 1, 1952, the United States successfully detonated "Mike," the world's first hydrogen bomb, on the Elugelab Atoll in the Pacific Marshall Islands. The 10.4-megaton thermonuclear device, built upon the Teller-Ulam principles of staged radiation implosion, instantly vaporized an entire island and left behind a crater more than a mile wide. The incredible explosive force of Mike was also apparent from the sheer magnitude of its mushroom cloud--within 90 seconds the mushroom cloud climbed to 57,000 feet and entered the stratosphere. One minute later, it reached 108,000 feet, eventually stabilizing at a ceiling of 120,000 feet. Half an hour after the test, the mushroom stretched 60 miles across, with the base of the head joining the stem at 45,000 feet.

Three years later, on November 22, 1955, the Soviet Union detonated its first hydrogen bomb on the same principle of radiation implosion. Both superpowers were now in possession of the "hell bomb," as it was known by many Americans, and the world lived under the threat of thermonuclear war for the first time in history.[43]

January 31, 1984 the Grand Lodge of Utah repealed its long standing anti-Mormon resolution.[44]

Hi Jeff, I was searching on-line for some information regarding my Armstrongs in the American Revolution. I came by chance on this document from 1889. I only skimmed portions, but thought page 16 was an interesting comment on the Hessians who deserted in America.

As ever, Linda



Linda, this is very interesting. Thank you for sending it to me. It is a different point of view on the "Hessians". Jeff
