Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 3 [This tale, except the opening address to the Blessed Virgin, is literally translated from the Legenda Aurea, a collection of treatises on the festivals of the Church, written by Jacobus a Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa, in the latter end of the thirteenth century. The custom of collecting the Acts of the Martyrs - that is, the accounts of their martyrdom, - and reading them aloud in the Church on the anniversary of their death, for the encouragement of the faithful, was very early introduced. The Acts of the Martyrdom of Polycarp, Bishop of Ephesus, and a Disciple of the Apostle John, who suffered A.D. 168, have come down to us in this shape, and are much esteemed by divines of the Church of England, as the earliest authentic ecclesiastical record after the Acts of the Apostles. See Bingham´s Antiquities, book xiii. c. 9. Saint Cecilia probably suffered in the reign of Alexander Severus, in the third century, as stated in her life. The acts of her martyrdom bear many internal evidences of authenticity, though disfigured by the false taste of the ecclesiastical rhetoricians of the fourth and fifth centuries, who probably introduced the miraculous circumstances and the dialogue between her and the prætor, just as Sallust and Robertson put imaginary speeches into the mouths of Catiline and Columbus.
