This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

The apparent reason for thus recording the natal day of
the emperor-king is, that, according to some writers, his birth
has been attributed, in error, to the 23 December, whereas the
date, sanctioned in this way by its inscription on the great
seal, is St. Matthew's day, vi;s. 21 September.

armorial bearings of the shield of arms of the Ancient
Kingdom of Germany, an eagle displayed, have been
altered to the arms of the Modern Empire of Germany, a
double-headed eagle displayed ; (3.) the word R€QI8 in the
legend has been replaced with IMP6RATORI8. Betw. the
feet of the emperor on the dais is the impression of an oblong

It is difficult to account for the appension of an impression
of this seal to a document belonging to Exeter, co. Devon,
dated A.D. 1254, except it be due to some artifice on the part
of those having access to the document. The cathedral
church of Frankfort is dedicated to St Bartholomew, who
appears, in this seal, to be the Patron Saint of the Provost,
and to be bringing him under notice of the Virgin Mary.

Ciaconius, Vit, Pontiff., torn, i., col. 170, figures one of these two types
under Stephen I., and states :—>'' Quam vis Icon istud potius ad pri-
mum vel secundum, seu tertium Stephanum Romanum Pontificem
spectare baud certi simus ; cum in illo [nihil] nisi Stephani Papse nomen
exprimatur ; ad primum tamen nos referimus ; si enim ad alios spec-
taret, procul dubio, secundi, vel tertii de more nomen apposuissent."
From the similarity of some of the forms of letters to those of Pope
iohn v., it is not improbable that these three types belong to the era of
*ope Stephen II. See also Ficoroni, /. ^., pi. xxv.

Oval : representations of the Seven Sleepers, or Septan
Dormientes, whose feast is celebrated on 27th July. The
group consists of two at the upper part, with inscriptions near
them : —
(1.) COOSTANTINI (Coisianeinus).
(2.) MA â– SIMIANVS (Maj^imianus).
Below these : —
(3.) IOH'8 (JoAanaes).
(4-) MALC . . {Afakkus).
In base three : —
(S.) MARTINIANVS {Martinianus).
(6.) DA NESI' {Dioiiysiiii).
(7.) SATRAPIO . . . {Serapion).
Each of the figures wears a nimbus, and appears to be
accompanied with a sword, lance, or other weapon, probably-
indicative of the manner of his martyrdom. The body of
Malchus appears to have been dismembered with a saw. Cf.
Sloane MS. 2885, fol. 41. where the names are given : — Maxi-
MiANus, Malchus, Martinianus, Dionysius, Johannes,
Serapion, and Co^STAS-ntiiis.primipa/alii. Alban Butler's
list of names agrees with these, and the author describes
(VoL vii., p. 359) a matrix closely resembling this cast,
probably that from which it is derived, preserved in the Museum
Victorium at Rome : " a factitious plaster or stone (made of
sulphur melted with fire and mortar) formed in imitation of a
I
large precious stone, in which is cut a group of figures
representing the Seven Sleepers with their names, and near
Constantine and John are exhibited two clubs : near Maxi-
mian a knotty club ; near Malchus and Martinian two axes ;
near Serapion a burning torch ; and near Danesius (whom
others call Dionysius), a great nail. That large nails were
made use of as instruments of torture is evident from St.
Paulinus, and Horace,"
