Καὶ εἰς ἕνα Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ. Τὸν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων. Θεὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ, φῶς ἐκ φωτός, Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ. Γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί, δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο. Τὸν δι' ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν, κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν. Καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ ἐκ Μαρίας τῆς Παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα. Σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου, καὶ παθόντα, καὶ ταφέντα. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρα κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος. Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὸ Κύριον, τὸ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρός ἐκπορευόμενον. Τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν Προφητῶν. Εἰς μίαν, Ἁγίαν, Καθολικὴν καὶ Ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Ὁμολογοῦμαι ἓν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Καὶ προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν. Καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν. Credo in unum Deum,Patrem omnipoténtem, factórem caeli et terrae, visibílium ómnium et invisibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum,Fílium Dei unigénitum,et ex Patre natum, ante ómnia saécula.Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero,génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri:per quem ómnia facta sunt.Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem descéndit de caelis. Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sanctoex María Vîrgine, et homo factus est. Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis sub Póntio Piláto;passus et sepúltus est,et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras,et ascéndit in caelum, sedet ad déxteram Patris.Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória,iudicáre vivos et mórtuos,cuius regni non erit finis.

κύριε - Kyrie I http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus Kyrie eleison (Graece κύριε ἐλέησον, "Domine, miserere") est initium brevis litaniae tripartitae, quae variis liturgiae locis canitur. Maxime notum est ut pars ordinarii missae, sed etiam plures litaniae (ut puta Litaniae Sanctorum aut Litaniae Lauretanae) vocibus Kyrie eleison incipiunt. Invocatio ex vocativo verbi Graeci κύριος, "Dominus" et imperativo ἐλέησον verbi ἐλεέω, "misereri". Kyrie eleison est una ex duabus precibus Graecis in liturgia Ecclesiae Catholicae Romanae servatis. Altera prex Graeca in Improperiis Feriae Sextae in Passione Domini invenitur. Textus Cantus Kyrie de Missa XI (Orbis Factor). Verba huius orationis sunt: Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) Antiqua versio (utitur in missis poliphonicis): S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) S. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) M. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Kyrie eleison.

Bibliis Hebraicis in Graecum ut Septuaginta conversis, vocabulum Pantokrator nomen El Shaddai, titulum Hebraicum, expressit, nam Christiani hanc appellationem ad Iesum contulerunt, qui secundum evangelium Matthaei (28:18) dixerat: "Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo et in terra."

Adeste Fideles per instrumenta musicalia ex opere Regis Joannis IV Portugalliæ http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus The Christmas carol "Adeste Fideles"—better known to most people as "O Come All Ye Faithful"—is one of the most beautifully written. Its precise origins are a mystery, but scholars say the song is at least 250 years old. Some have attributed the song to King John IV of Portugal (1604-1656), called "the musician-king," who composed a number of musical works during his reign and also compiled one of the world's largest musical libraries. Other historians say the English hymnist John Francis Wade (1711-1786) is the true author of this carol. The earliest versions of "Adeste Fideles" are all in Latin. The English-language version that most people today know was translated in 1841 by Frederick Oakeley, a British Catholic priest. Both versions have eight verses, though not all are found in the earliest published versions. Some verses, such as the final one, is sung traditionally only at Christmas Mass. "Adeste Fideles" Latin Lyrics 1. Adeste Fideles laeti triumphantes, Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte, Regem Angelorum; Refrain Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, venite adoremus Dominum! 2. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, gestant puellae viscera. Deum verum, genitum non factum; (refrain) 3. Cantet nunc io chorus Angelorum cantet nunc aula caelestium: Gloria in excelsis Deo! 4. Ergo qui natus, die hodierna, Jesu, tibi sit gloria. Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum; 5. En grege relicto, Humiles ad cunas, vocati pastores approperant. Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus; 6. Aeterni Parentis splendorem aeternum, velatum sub carne videbimus. Deum infantem, pannis involutum; 7. Pro nobis egenum et foeno cubantem, piis foveamus amplexibus. Sic nos anamtem quis non redamaret? 8. Stella duce, Magi, Christum adorantes, aurum, thus, et myrrham dant munera. Jesu infanti corda praebeamus; "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" English Lyrics 1. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant! O come ye, o come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; Refrain O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! 2. God of God, Light of Light, Lo! He abhors not the Virgin’s womb. Very God, begotten not created; (refrain) 3. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation! Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above: Glory to God, glory in the highest! 4. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesu, to Thee be glory given. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; 5. See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle, leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze. We too will thither bend our hearts’ oblations; 6. There shall we see Him, His eternal Father’s everlasting brightness now veiled under flesh. God shall we find there, a Babe in infant clothing; 7. Child, for us sinners, poor and in the manger, we would embrace Thee, with love and awe. Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly? 8. Lo! Star-led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring, offer Him frankincense, gold, and myrrh.

Capella Sanctorum Trium Regum Magorum per Concilium Florentinum aput Palacium Riccardi-Medici http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus The #Magi Chapel is a chapel in Palazzo Medici Riccardi of Florence, Italy. It includes a famous cycle of frescoes by the Renaissance master Benozzo Gozzoli, painted in 1459-1461.The chapel is on the piano nobile of the palace, and was one of the first decorations executed after the completion of the edifice by Michelozzo. #Gozzoli painted his cycle over three of the walls, the subject being the Journey of the Magi to Bethlehem, but the religious theme was a pretext to depict the procession of important people who arrived in #Florence in occasion of the Council of Florence (1438-1439).

NVMMVS: CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG - ΧΡ ••• SPES PVBLIC CONS (~327 A.D.) http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus The Nummus is a Roman coin, in this particular displays in Latin, CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG (Constantine the Greatest Augustus) on obverse; while on reverse side of coin from Greek #XP (two capital letters—chi and rho - ΧΡ - of the word ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ = Christos) and symbolization of ••• (representing the Most Holy Trinity Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and Latin #SPES PVBLIC (Hope of the People). Constantine, and Eusebius, compared serpents/dragons to evil on many occasions. In one instance, when he referred to Arius, Constantine talked about the serpent and the Devil as if they were one. Constantine also used the dragon/serpent symbolism to specifically describe Licinius. “Like some, or a twisting snake coiling up on itself.” “But now, with liberty restored and that dragon driven out of the public administration through the providence of the supreme God and by our service.” Gratias ago tibi Deo per instrumenta de Jove Mauro Cámara. http://patreon.com/ProVaticanus

Ps. 48: 2. Audite hæc, omnes gentes: auribus percipite qui habitatis orbem. Si ego... If I your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, how much more ought you to wash one another's feet? Ps. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, ye that inhabit the world. If I... Circa 390 A.D. Mosaic Apse, Basilica of St. Pudentiana, Rome Female figures place crowns on the heads of St. Paul (on the left) and St. Peter (on the right). The figures are often taken to be St. Pudentiana and St. Praxedes, but historians consider it more likely that they represent the Gentiles and the Jews respectively. The codex in Christ's left hand reads DOMINUS CONSERVATOR ECCLESIAE PUDENTIANAE, which can mean either "God is the preserver of Pudentiana's church" or "God is the preserver of the Pudentian [i.e. of St. Pudens] church." The lower right corner of the mosaic is a restoration from 1588; otherwise, this is the oldest church mosaic in existence. It is also one of the earliest images in which Christ is represented as a human figure rather than a symbol. (Directly above this naturalistic image, he is represented symbolically by the Cross.) It also includes one of the oldest examples of the use of the angel, ox, lion, and eagle to represent the evangelists, a concept taken from early Christian commentary on Revelation 4:6-8. The creatures are, left to right, St. Matthew as the creature "having the face, as it were, of a man," St. Mark as a lion, St. Luke as an ox, and St. John as an eagle. PUDENS, PUDENTIANA, AND PRAXEDES, SS. Early Christian saints and titular churches. The earliest source in which the name Pudentiana appears is an inscription of 384, Leopardus lector de Pudentiana (G. de Rossi, Inscript. Christ. 1:384). This refers to a titulus, i.e., a place of cult and not a saint, because in the fourth century it was not the custom to dedicate a church directly to a saint. Pudentiana is an adjective, and in the present church the old inscription reads: Dominus conservator ecclesiae Pudentianae, meaning that the founder was a certain Pudens. Sometime in the sixth century the titulus Pudentis was reevaluated and Pudens was canonized. Misreading the adjective Pudentianae as a person created "St." Pudentiana. In the seventh century there appeared a legendary Gesta Pudentianae et Praxedis that states that Praxedes, after the death of her sister Pudentiana, "who was buried on May 19 beside her father Pudens in the cemetery of Priscilla, with the consent of Pope St. Pius I, dedicated the Baths of Novatus as a church, under the name of the Bl. Virgin Pudentiana, in the vicus patricius "—the patrician suburb. Prior to this, the same Gesta narrates that Pudens had constructed a church over the same house. The author of the Gesta thus identified the titulus Pudentis with the titulus Pudentianae, and since there was only one church on the site, he concluded that it referred to a Sancta Pudentiana, who could only be a real person, a virgin, saint, and martyr.

SS. Biblia Polyglotta F. Ximeny Card. in Academia Complutensi cum Leonis X approbatione 22 Mar. 1520 http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus The first Bible which may be considered a Polyglot is that edited at Alcalá (in Latin Complutum, hence the name Complutensian Bible), Spain, in 1502-17, under the supervision and at the expense of Cardinal Ximenes, by scholars of the university founded in that city by the same great Cardinal. It was published in 1520, with the sanction of Leo X. Ximenes wished, he writes, "to revive the languishing study of the Sacred Scriptures"; and to achieve this object he undertook to furnish students with accurate printed texts of the Old Testament in the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages, and of the New Testament in the Greek and Latin. His Bible contains also the Chaldaic Targum of the Pentateuch and an interlinear Latin translation of the Greek Old Testament. The work is in six large volumes, the last of which is made up of a Hebrew and Chaldaic dictionary, a Hebrew grammar, and Greek dictionary. It is said that only six hundred copies were issued; but they found their way into the principal libraries of Europe and had considerable influence on subsequent editions of the Bible. Vigouroux made use of it in the very latest of the Polyglots. Cardinal Ximenes was, he assures us, eager to secure the best manuscripts accessible to serve as a basis of his texts; he thanks Leo X for lending him Vatican manuscripts Traces of such manuscripts are, indeed, discernible, particularly in the Greek text; and there is still a copy at Madrid of a Venetian manuscript which he is thought to have used. He did not, however, use any of what are now considered the best; appreciation of the worth of the manuscripts, and of their variant readings, had still much progress to make; but the active work of many years produced texts sufficiently pure for most purposes. The "Complutensian Bible" published the first printed edition of the Greek Old Testament, the one which was commonly used and reproduced, before the appearance of the edition of Sixtus V, in 1587. It is followed, on the whole, in the Septuagint columns of the four great Polyglots edited by Montanus (Antwerp, 1569-72); Bertram (Heidelberg, 1586-1616); Wolder (Hamburg, 1596); and Le Jay (Paris, 1645). Ximenes' Greek New Testament, printed in 1514, was not published until six years after the hastily edited Greek New Testament of Erasmus, which was published before it in 1516; but in the fourth edition of Erasmus' work (1527), which forms the basis of the "Textus Receptus", a strong influence of Ximenes' text is generally recognized. #Biblia #BibleHistory #Complutensian http://patreon.com/ProVaticanus

This work has been dated from A.D. 1510 through 1511. The Fresco Paintings’ Location are within the Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, at the Vatican. The Vatican fresco paintings were operated by Maestro Raphael Sanzio (who was born in A.D. 1483 at Urbino and died in A.D. 1520 at Rome). Raphael worked with his collaborators under commission of His Holiness Pope Julius the Second from A.D. 1510 through 1511. One can view the workmanship on the wall opposite the Parnassus, corresponding to Justice, is an illustration of the Cardinal Virtues (Fortitude, Prudence and Temperance) and the Theological Virtues (Faith, Hope and Charity) in the lunette above, and below, at the sides of the window, the Delivery of the Pandects to the Roman Emperor Justinian (on the left) and the Delivery of the Decretals to Pope Gregory the Ninth (on the right). The Roman Pontiff is a portrait of the Pope who had commissioned the work, Julius the Second (Roman Pontiff from A.D. 1503 to 1513), while the cardinals beside him are Giovanni de' Medici and Alessandro Farnese, the future Popes Leo the Tenth (Roman Pontiff from A.D. 1513 to 1521) and Paul the Third (Roman Pontiff from A.D. 1534 to 1549). The painting of the Delivery of the Pandects to the Emperor Justinian the Great is by Lorenzo Lotto. On the south wall of the Stanza della Segnatura the following scenes are depicted: Emperor Justinian Receives the Corpus Iuris Civilis (at the left); Pope Gregory the Ninth Approving the Decretals (at the right); Fortitudo, Prudentia, Temperantia (above with the lunette). On the wall to the left of the window there is a dedication scene with Emperor Justinian shown surrounded by many jurist as he receives from Tribonian the Pandects (digests) of the Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil Laws). Raphael had sketched this fresco, but its execution was entrusted to Lorenzo Lotto. Civil law is juxtaposed with religious law to the right of the window: Gregory the Ninth approves the collection of decretals made by St. Raymond Penafort. The historical pope is actually a portrait of the pope who commissioned the work, Julius the Second, alongside other members of the College of Cardinals: Giovanni de' Medici (future Pope Leo the Tenth) and Alessandro Farnese (future Pope Paul the Third) are the throne assistants, and Cardinal del Monte is featured towards the far left of view. A homogenous architectural background joins the two scenes of the law. Resting on this structure, against an open sky, are Fortitude, Prudence, and Temperance, personifications that join with the Justice depicted on the ceiling to form the group of cardinal virtues. The three represented virtues belong to the qualities of the just judge, the just ruler. Prudence deserves the highest seat, she must guide the deployment of Fortitude and Temperance. http://x.com/ProVaticanus http://x.com/ProLateranvs http://patreon.com/ProVaticanus http://patreon.com/ProLateranvs Ago tibi gratias Deo per instrumenta de Rev.

Ὁ ΚΌΣΜΟΣ - UNIVERSUM http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus Latinized form of Greek kosmos "order, good order, orderly arrangement," #UNIVERSE is a word with several main senses rooted in those notions: The verb kosmein meant generally "to dispose, prepare," esp. "to order and arrange (troops for battle), to set (an army) in array;" also "to establish (a government or regime);" "to deck, adorn, equip, dress". Thus kosmos had an important secondary sense of "ornaments of a woman's dress, decoration" (compare kosmokomes "dressing the hair," and cosmetic) as well as "the universe, the world." Pythagoras is said to have been the first to apply this word to "the universe," perhaps originally meaning "the starry firmament," but it later was extended to the whole physical world, including earth. Of "the world of people," the classical phrase was he oikoumene (ge) "the inhabited (earth)." Septuagint uses both kosmos & oikoumene. Kosmos was in Christian writ with a sense of "worldly life, this world (as opposed to the afterlife)," but the more frequent word for this was aiōn, literally "lifetime, age." The word cosmos often suggested especially "the universe as an embodiment of order and harmony." APOC.1:4-8: 4 Ἰωάννης ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις ταῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ: χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἑπτὰ πνευμάτων ἃ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, 5 καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστός, ὁ πρωτότοκος τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς. τῷ ἀγαπῶντι ἡμᾶς καὶ λύσαντι ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ, 6 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς βασιλείαν, ἱερεῖς τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων: ἀμήν. 7 Ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν, καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν πᾶς ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ οἵτινες αὐτὸν ἐξεκέντησαν, καὶ κόψονται ἐπ' αὐτὸν πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. ναί, ἀμήν. 8 ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ Ὦ, λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὁ παντοκράτωρ. 9 Ἐγὼ Ἰωάννης, ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν καὶ συγκοινωνὸς ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ βασιλείᾳ καὶ ὑπομονῇ ἐν Ἰησοῦ, ἐγενόμην ἐν τῇ νήσῳ τῇ καλουμένῃ Πάτμῳ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ. 10 ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι ἐν τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ, καὶ ἤκουσα ὀπίσω μου φωνὴν μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος 11 λεγούσης, ὃ βλέπεις γράψον εἰς βιβλίον καὶ πέμψον ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις, εἰς Ἔφεσον καὶ εἰς Σμύρναν καὶ εἰς Πέργαμον καὶ εἰς Θυάτειρα καὶ εἰς Σάρδεις καὶ εἰς Φιλαδέλφειαν καὶ εἰς Λαοδίκειαν. 4 Joannes septem ecclesiis, quæ sunt in Asia.

As it was, the gates of the city were decorated with the arms of the Palaeologues and with crowned shields showing the two-headed eagle. During the Byzantine-Roman period, lead bullae (singular, Bulla) were widely used to seal and identify the sender of correspondence and containers in shipment. An iron, pliers-shaped instrument, a boulloterion, was used to impress the designs on a lead bulla seal. After the cord was wrapped around the package or document and the ends inserted in a channel in the blank seal, the seal was placed between the disc shaped engraved dies on the jaws of a boulloterion. The boulloterion had a projection above the jaws, which was struck with a hammer to impress the design on the seal and close the channel around the two ends of the cord. With a bulla in place a container cannot be violated without visible damage to either the bulla or the cord, ensuring the contents remain tamper-proof until they reach their destination. Andreas Palaiologos or Palaeologus (Greek: Ἀνδρέας Παλαιολόγος; 17 January 1453 – June 1502), sometimes anglicized to Andrew, was the eldest son of Thomas Palaiologos, Despot of the Morea. Thomas was a brother of Constantine XI Palaiologos, the final Byzantine-Roman Emperor. After his father's death in 1465, Andreas was recognized as the titular Despot of the Morea and from 1483 onwards, he also claimed the title "Emperor of Constantinople" (Latin: Imperator Constantinopolitanus).*Note: Imperator Constantinopolitanus (Emperor of Constantinople) was the style used by Andreas in Latin-language documents. In Greek-language documents, he styled himself as Ἀνδρέας ἐν Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ πιστὸς βασιλεὺς καὶ αὐτοκράτωρ Ῥωμαίων ὁ Παλαιολόγος (Andreas in Christ the God, faithful Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans, the Palaiologos), a more traditional rendition of the Byzantine imperial title. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the subsequent Ottoman invasion of the Morea in 1460, Andreas's father fled to Corfu with his family. After Thomas died in 1465, the then twelve-year-old Andreas moved to Rome and, as the eldest nephew of Constantine XI, became the head of the Palaiologos family and the chief claimant to the ancient imperial throne. Andreas's later use of the imperial title, never claimed by his father, was supported by some of the Byzantine refugees who lived in Italy and he hoped to one day restore the empire of his ancestors. Andreas married a Roman woman called Caterina. Though some primary sources allude to the possibility that he had children, there is no concrete evidence that Andreas left any descendants. As his stay in Rome continued, Andreas fell deeper into poverty. Although historians often blame his impoverished situation on a supposedly extravagant and irresponsible lifestyle, a more likely explanation is that the pension and funding provided to him by the papacy were regularly reduced. Andreas traveled around Europe several times in search of a ruler who could aid him in retaking Constantinople but rallied little support. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, who had conquered Constantinople in 1453, died in 1481, and his two sons Cem and Bayezid fought a civil war over who would succeed him. Seeing his opportunity, Andreas attempted to organize an expedition in southern Italy during the summer of 1481 to cross the Adriatic Sea and restore the Byzantine-Roman Empire. The excursion was canceled in the autumn after Bayezid had successfully stabilized his rule. Although Andreas maintained hope of recapturing at least the Morea throughout his life, he never returned to Greece. Desperate for money, Andreas sold his rights to the Byzantine crown in 1494 to Charles VIII of France, who attempted to organize a crusade against the Ottomans. The sale was conditional on Charles, who Andreas hoped to use as a champion against the Ottomans, conquering the Morea and granting it to Andreas. When Charles died in 1498, Andreas once again claimed the imperial titles, using them until his death. He died in poverty in Rome in 1502 and was buried in St. Peter's Basilica. In his will, he granted his titles to Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.

NVMMVS: GREGORIVS . III . - . PONT . M . - ADORABO . IN . TEMPLO . SAN . TVO . (~741 A.D.) http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus Ο Γρηγόριος Γ΄ σε παπικό μετάλλιο του 8ου αιώνα (εμπρόσθια όψη). Ο Γρηγόριος Γ΄ σε παπικό μετάλλιο του 8ου αιώνα (οπίσθια όψη). Gregorius III (natus die ignoto in Syria; obiit die 29 Novembris 741) fuit episcopus Romae et Papa Ecclesiae Catholicae Romanae a die 18 Martii 731. Pauca de Gregorio nota sunt, antequam papa factus est. Gregorius III primus papa fuit, qui contra Langobardos auxilium Francorum petivit. Die 1 Novembris 731 Iconoclastiae fautores damnavit. (Reigned 731-741.) Pope St. Gregory III was the son of a Syrian named John. The date of his birth is not known. His reputation for learning and virtue was so great that the Romans elected him pope by acclamation, when he was accompanying the funeral procession of his predecessor, 11 February, 731. As he was not consecrated for more than a month after his election, it is presumed that he waited for the confirmation of his election by the exarch at Ravenna. In the matter of Iconoclasm, he followed the policy of his predecessor. He sent legates and letters to remonstrate with the persecuting emperor, Leo III, and held two synods in Rome (731) in which the image-breaking heresy was condemned. By way of a practical protest against the emperor's action he made it a point of paying special honour to images and relics, giving particular attention to the subject of St. Peter's. Fragments of inscriptions, to be seen in the crypts of the Vatican basilica, bear witness to this day of an oratory he built therein, and of the special prayers he ordered to be there recited. Leo, whose sole answer to the arguments and apologies for image worship which were addressed to him from both East and West, was force, seized the papal patrimonies in Calabria and Sicily, or wherever he had any power in Italy, and transferred to the patriarch of Constantinople the ecclesiastical jurisdiction which the popes had previously exercised both there, and throughout the ancient Prefecture of Illyricum. Gregory III confirmed the decision of his predecessors as to the respective rights of the Patriarchs of Aquileia and Grado, and sent the pallium to Antoninus of Grado. In granting it also to Egbert of York, he was only following out the arrangements of St. Gregory I who had laid it down that York was to have metropolitical rights in the North of England, as Canterbury had to have them in the South. Both Tatwine and Nothelm of Canterbury received the pallium in succession from Gregory III (731 and 736). At his request Gregory III extended to St. Boniface the same support and encouragement which had been afforded him by Gregory II. "Strengthened exceedingly by the help of the affection of the Apostolic See", the saint joyfully continued his glorious work for the conversion of Germany. About 737 Boniface came to Rome for the third time to give an account of his stewardship, and to enjoy the pope's "life-giving conversation", At Gregory's order the monk and great traveller, St. Willibald, went to assist his cousin St. Boniface in his labours. The close of Gregory's reign was troubled by the Lombards. Realizing the ambition which animated Liutprand, Gregory completed the restoration of the walls of Rome which had been begun by his predecessors, and bought back Gallese, a stronghold on the Flaminian Way, from Transamund, Duke of Spoleto, which helped to keep open the communications between Rome and Ravenna. In 739, Liutprand was again in arms. His troops ravaged the exarchate, and he himself marched south to bring to subjection his vassals, the Dukes of Spoleto and Benevento, and the Duchy of Rome. Transamund fled to Rome, and Gregory implored the aid of the great Frankish chief, Charles Martel. At length ambassadors from the viceroy (subregulus) of the Franks appeared in Rome (739). Their arrival, or the summer heats, brought a momentary peace. But in the following year, Liutprand again took the field. This time the Romans left their walls, and helped Transamund to recover Spoleto. When, however, he had recovered his duchy, he would not or could not comply with Gregory's request, and endeavour to recover for the pope "the four cities of the Roman duchy which had been lost for his sake." In the midst of all these wars and rumours of war, Gregory died, and was buried in the oratory of our Lady which he had himself built in St. Peter's. He died in 741, but whether in November or December is not certain. It is however, on 28 November that he is commemorated in the Roman martyrology. N.B., Pope Gregory III (731-41) dedicated an oratory in the original St. Peter's Basilica in honor of all the saints on Nov. 1, and this date then became the official date for the celebration of the feast of All Saints in Rome.

Cantori Romani sub Msgr. Antonio Rella cecinerunt κύριε in Missa Gregoriana aput Basilicam S. Petri http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus​ Record label: Victor Record - The Gregorian High Mass - Kyrie Eleison (Last edition of Solesmes) - Recorded in St. Peter's, Rome - in the centenary of St Gregorius Magnus - Direction Mons. Rella, of the Sistine Chapel - Rome. This is the opening of the earliest recording of the Gregorian Chant, taken in Saint Peter's on 11 April 1904 for the Gramophone and Typewriter Company. The Victor catalog issued the following statement (or perhaps warning) apropos these recordings "It cannot be denied that these Gregorian Chant records are somewhat monotonous, except to those especially interested". Sure enough this is a drastic departure from the romantic style prominently featured on red seal discs of this time and would probably be a shock to anyone used to nothing but the singing style of Melba and Patti. Kyrie eleison (Graece κύριε ἐλέησον, "Domine, miserere") est initium brevis litaniae tripartitae, quae variis liturgiae locis canitur. Maxime notum est ut pars ordinarii missae, sed etiam plures litaniae (ut puta Litaniae Sanctorum aut Litaniae Lauretanae) vocibus Kyrie eleison incipiunt. Invocatio ex vocativo verbi Graeci κύριος, "Dominus" et imperativo ἐλέησον verbi ἐλεέω, "misereri". Kyrie eleison est una ex duabus precibus Graecis in liturgia Ecclesiae Catholicae Romanae servatis. Altera prex Graeca in Improperiis Feriae Sextae in Passione Domini invenitur. Textus Cantus Kyrie de Missa XI (Orbis Factor). Verba huius orationis sunt: Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) Antiqua versio (utitur in missis poliphonicis): S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) S. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) M. Christe eleison. (Χριστὲ ἐλέησον) S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) M. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) S. Kyrie eleison. (Κύριε ἐλέησον) Haec verba Latine sonant: Domine, miserere. Christe, miserere. Domine, miserere. #Kyrie​ #Vinyl #Vatican Pantocrator ('universi imperator') vel plene Christus Pantocrator (Graece Χριστὸς Παντοκράτωρ), in iconographia Christiana est certa depictio Iesu Christi atque in Iudaismo unum e multis nominibus ad Deum adhibitis. Bibliis Hebraicis in Graecum ut Septuaginta conversis, vocabulum Pantokrator nomen El Shaddai, titulum Hebraicum, expressit, nam Christiani hanc appellationem ad Iesum contulerunt, qui secundum evangelium Matthaei (28:18) dixerat: "Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo et in terra." Iconica Christi Pantocratoris imago fuit una e primis imaginibus Iesu quas Prima Ecclesia Christiana excoluit, et gravissima Ecclesiarum Orthodoxarum icon manet. http://patreon.com/ProVaticanus

Ritus Byzantinus aput Pontificium Collegium Russicum S. Theresiae A Iesu Infante, Romae (1940) http://zazzle.com/ProVaticanus Ritus Byzantinus, interdum etiam Ritus Constantinopolitanus dictus, est ritus liturgicus illarum ecclesiarum, quae ex ecclesia Imperii Romani Orientalis ortae sunt. Praecipue in terris Europae orientalis et meridiano-orientalis nec non Asiae occidentalis in usu est. Nomen Ritus Graeci[2] in errorem ducit, cum idem ritus multis linguis celebretur. The Collegium Russicum (Latin: Pontificium Collegium Russicum Sanctae Theresiae A Iesu Infante; Russian: Папская коллегия Ру́ссикум; English: Pontifical Russian College of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus) is a Catholic college in Rome dedicated to studies of the culture and spirituality of Russia. It is located near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, separated from the Pontifical Oriental Institute by the Church of Saint Anthony, and is known informally as the Russicum. It was founded on August 15, 1929, by Pope Pius XI, who was touched by the large flow of immigrants from Bolshevik Russia and the persecution of Christianity in that country. The money for the college building and its reconstruction was taken from an aggregate of charity donations from faithful all over the world on the occasion of the canonization of St. Thérèse de Lisieux, placing the Russicum under her patronage.
