Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 28: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past Among the Birthday Honours awarded this year by the Queen, we are glad to note the appointment to the Peerage of the United Kingdom of a distinguished antiquary. Mr. Cecil George Savile Foljambe, of Cockglode, Newark, for many years a Liberal member for one of the divisions of Nottinghamshire, is remarkably well versed in heraldry, genealogy, and ecclesiology, as well as taking a practical interest in almost all branches of archaeology. He has been a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries since 1875, and is a Council member of the Derbyshire Archaeological Society, as well as of several kindred associations. The care that he has taken ruins of Kirkham Abbey since he has owned the estate is most praiseworthy, and a welcome contrast to the action or in-action of some other abbey owners in Yorkshire and elsewhere. Mr. Foljambe has been an occasional contributor to these columns, as well as to those of the Reliquary. In the name of English antiquaries, we cordially congratulate him on his well-merited honours. We regret to learn that the Lord Crewe trustees are endeavouring to sell Bamburgh Castle; the price asked is £6,000. The most likely purchaser seems to be a hotel proprietor! Whoever becomes the purchaser, whether a private individual or a commercial company, it seems highly probable that much damage will be done to these priceless historic ruins. This castle ought to be preserved as a national monument, and the buildings, except the keep (which might be used as a residence), simply kept from falling into further decay. M. Vaillant, of Boulogne, has been kind enough to send us, through Mr. F. Haverfield, the following additional note on pagan monuments converted to Christian use: Three Roman monuments adapted to Christian uses, two for bénitiers, one for a font, were described in the Antiquary, 1893, p. 235, as exhibited in the Boulogne Museum. One more should be added, viz., an altar originally dedicated to Jupiter, and subsequently hollowed out into a baptismal cuve. It is a square block of sandstone, 57 centimètres high, and 68 broad, i.e., about 2 feet square, in the shape of what is currently named autel-pilier. Its dimensions are sufficient for the baptism of adults by immersion, which affords evidence of the early date at which the adaption was effected. Its front face shows the following inscription: Eido Iovi Vicvs Dolvcens Cvr: Vital Prisc Eideo (= Ideo?) Jovi Vicus Dolucens [is] cur [ante] Vital [i] prisc [o] This Vicus Dolucensis, whose in habitants raised an alter to Idaean (?) Jove, by the agency of Vitalis Priscus, is considered to be the Boulonnais village of Halinghen (pas de Calasis), in the territory of which the stone was discovered at an unrecorded dtae, and in whose parish church it had been employed for christenings long before it was removed to the Lapidarium of Boulogne. Its name has been looked upon as referring to the worship of Jupiter Dolichenus, which has left other evidence in the neighborhood, but this is uncertain.
