MONTENAY, GEORGETTE DE,
Was still young when her father, her mother, and six servants in their house, died of the plague. She had the good fortune to escape, and Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, took her into her service as maid of honour. The reading the emblems of Alciat gave this young lady the idea of composing a hundred emblems on Christian or moral subjects, illustrated by verses of her own, which she dedicated to Jeanne d'Albret, and which were printed in 1574.

MONIMA,
Wife of Mithridates the Great, was a native of Salonica. Her husband loved her devotedly, but when he was defeated by Lucullas, he caused her and all his other wives to be put to death, lest they should fall into the hands of the enemy. Some years after, Mithridates was killed at his own request, to avoid a similar fate. B.C. 64.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Montpensier, Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans, Duchess de

Layout 2
MONTPENSIER, ANNE MARIE LOUISE D'ORLEANS, DUCHESS DE,
Daughter of Gaston, Duke d'Orleans, brother of Louis the Thirteenth, was born 1627. She inherited boldness, intrigue, and impetuosity from her father; and during the civil wars of the Fronde, she not only embraced the party of the Duke de Condé, but she made her adherents fire the cannon of the Bastile on the troops of Louis the Fourteenth. This rash step against the authority of her king and cousin, ruined her hopes, and after in vain aspiring to the hand of a sovereign prince, she, in 1669, married the Count de Lauzun, a man much younger than herself. The king, though he had permitted the union, threw obstacles in the way of the lovers, and Lauzun was kept in prison for ten years; but after the cession of Dombes and Eu, of which the Duchess de Montpensier was the sovereign, she was allowed to see her husband. But she was violent and jealous, and Lauzun was ungrateful and faithless; and she at last forbade him to appear in her presence, and retired to a convent. She wrote two romances, and some devotional books. There is a collection of letters to Madame de Motteville, written by Mademoiselle Montpensier, and her most important work, the "Memoirs," a farrago of curious anecdotes, valuable from the sincerity, good faith, and vivacity with which they are written. These "Memoirs" have been and will be sought for among the literary curiosities of the seventeenth century, though they contain much that is trifling, or rather, mere gossip. She was known by the name of Mademoiselle.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Talbot, Catharine

Layout 2
TALBOT, CATHARINE,
Was lineally descended from the noble family of Talbots, Earls of Shrewsbury, and was niece to Lord Talbot, created Earl of Chancellor in 1733 Her father, Mr. Edward Talbot, married the daughter of the Key. George Martin, and died suddenly before the birth of Catharine. The fatherless daughter and her mother found a home, in every sense of the word, with Dr. Seeker, Archbishop of Canterbury, whose wife was the friend of Mrs. Talbot. This worthy prelate, having no children, bestowed much affection on Catharine, and took great pleasure in cultivating her mind and encouraging her literary tastes. By constantly associating with him, she reaped all the advantages of his extensive learning, accurate knowledge of the Scriptures, and his critical acquaintance with the sciences and languages connected with that important study.
But the circumstance which had the greatest influence in stimulating the talents of Miss Talbot, (for we do not think that she possessed what is termed genius,) was her acquaintance and intimate friendship with Mrs. Elizabeth Carter. This acquaintance began when Mrs. Elizabeth Carter was twenty-three and Catharine Talbot twenty years of age, and continued till the death of the latter, at the age of forty-eight. Miss Talbot and Mrs. Carter corresponded for many years; and these letters show that the former had an excellent understanding, and a heart warm with piety. After her death, her manuscripts were collected and published, under the supervision of Mrs Carter. These works are, "Reflections on the Seven Days of the Week," "Essays and Miscellaneous Works," and "Correspondence between Mrs. Carter and Miss Talbot." In ​estimating the character of this excellent woman, we will abide by the opinion of her friend, Mrs. Carter, who says of Miss Talbot:—"Never, surely, was there a more perfect pattern of evangelical goodness, decorated by all the ornaments of a highly improved understanding; and recommended by a sweetness of temper, and an elegance and politeness of manners, of a peculiar and more engaging kind than in any other character I ever knew."

TARABOTT, CATERINA,
Was born at Venice, in 1682, and was taught the art of painting by Alessandro Varotari. She profited so well by his instructions, as to be distinguished in her native city above many of the mos: considerable artists in history. She died there in 1631.

TELESILLA.
A noble poetess of Argos, who being advised by the oracle, which she had consulted respecting her health, to the study of the muses, soon attained such excellence, as to animate by her poetry the Argive women to repel, under her command, Cleomenes, the Spartan king, and afterwards King Demaratus, from the siege of Parophiliacum, with great loss.

TEMPEST, MISS,
Of the Grange, near Ackworth, sister to Sir Charies Tempest, Bart., of Broughton Hall, in the county of York, has been appointed overseer of the poor for the parish of Ackworth, together with John Hagues, cow-leech, also of the parish of Ackworth. The appointment was made at Wentbridge on the 26th. ultimo, and it endorsed by "two of her majesty's justices of the peace."
Such is the announcement in the Gloucester Chronicle of 1849 ​Truly, we see no reason why ladies should not hold such appointments in every country; they have leisure to attend to the duty of visiting the poor, which is a most important part of the relief needed.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Tamar, or Thamar

Layout 2
TAMAR, OR THAMAR,
Was daughter-in-law to the patriarch Judah, wife of Er and Onan. After Onan's death, Tamar lived with her father-in-law, expecting to marry his son Shelah, as had been promised her, and was the custom of the time. But the marriage not having taken place, some years after, when Judah went to a sheep-shearing feast, Tamar disguised herself as a harlot and sat in a place where Judah would pass—and this old man yielded at once to the temptation. When it was told Judah that his daughter-in-law had been guilty, he immediately condemned her to be brought forth and burned alive; never remembering his own sin. But when he found that he was the father of the child she would soon bear, his conscience was awakened, and he made that remarkable admission that "she was more just than he had been."
This history shows the gross manners of those old times, and how false are all representations of the purity of pastoral life. Tamar had twins, sons—and from one of these, Pharez, the line of Judah is descended. These events occurred about B.C. 1727.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Tambroni, Clotilde

Layout 2
TAMBRONI, CLOTILDE,
Was born at Bologna, in 1758. Her childhood offered indications of superior intelligence, which were observed by every one who knew her; but disregarding these, her mother, far from attempting to cultivate her mind, required her to devote herself to household duties, and to useful needle-work, and the various humble labours demanded of girls in their modest station in society. The distinguished Hellenist, Emanuele Aponte, lodged with the Tambroni family; and while Clotilde sat apparently busied with her work, she was attentively listening to the Greek lessons given by that professor to various classes. One day, as he was examining an ill-prepared scholar, to his great surprise, the little girl prompted the blunderer, giving him exactly the right sentence in excellent Greek. Delighted and astonished, Aponte persuaded the mother to allow him to cultivate this decided inclination for study. Her facility of acquirement was wonderful; to a general acquaintance with elegant literature, she added a knowledge of mathematics, and of the Latin tongue; but her most remarkable accomplishment was her very uncommon learning in Greek. At the recommendation of Aponte, she was, while yet a girl, appointed to the Greek chair in the University of Bologna. Political circumstances caused her family to leave Italy at one time, and she remained for a short period in Spain; but subsequently returning home, she was received by her countrymen with the highest honours, and was appointed by the government of Milan, professor of Greek in the University of Bologna—a situation which she held with credit to herself, and advantage to the college. She lived in a lettered seclusion, dividing ​her leisure between study and the society of a few congenial and erudite persons. She died, at the age of fifty, in the year 1817. She has left several translations from the Greek, and some Greek poems; besides an oration, which she delivered in Latin, on the inauguration of the doctor Maria Dalle-Donne into the college honours.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Tarnow, Fanny

TARNOW, FANNY,
Is one of the most remarkable and most fertile of all the modern German authoresses. Her genius was developed by misfortune and suffering: while yet an infant, she fell from a window two stories high, and was taken up. to the amazement of the assistants, without any apparent injury, except a few bruises; but all the vital functions suffered, and during ten or twelve years she was extended on a couch, neither joining in any of the amusements of childhood, nor subjected to the usual routine of female education. She educated herself. She read incessantly, and, as it was her only pleasure, books of every description, good and bad, were furnished her without restraint. She was about eleven years old when she made her first known poetical attempt, inspired by her own feelings and situation. It was a dialogue between herself and the angel of death. In her seventeenth year she was sufficiently recovered to take charge of her father's family, after he had lost, by some sudden misfortune, his whole property. He held, subsequently, a small office under government, the duties of which were principally performed by his admirable daughter. Her first writings were anonymous, and for a long time her name was unknown. Her most celebrated novel, the "Thekla," was published in 1815; and from this time she has enjoyed a high and public reputation. Fanny Tamow resides, or did reside, in Dresden.

TASTU, SABINE CASIMIR AMABLE VOREST,
Was born at Metz, in 1798. She has taken several prizes offered by literary academies, and holds a place among the first rank of contemporary French poets. Her verses are written with great elegance, while the sentiments they convey are refined and moral. She has been very successful in her books for young persons.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Taylor, Jane

Layout 2
TAYLOR, JANE,
Was born in London, September 23rd., 1783, where her father a respectable engraver, then resided. Being also a dissenting minister, Mr Taylor accepted, in 1792, an invitation from a congregation at Colchester, and carried his daughters there with him, superintending himself their education, and teaching them his own art. It was in the intervals of these pursuits that Jane Taylor found leisure to write; and on a visit to London, in 1802, she and her sister were induced to join several other young ladies in contributing to the "Minor's Pocket-Book," a small publication, in which her first work, ​"The Beggar Boy," appeared, in 1804. The success of this little poem encouraged her to proceed, and she continued to publish occasional miscellaneous pieces in prose and verse; the principal of which were "Original Poems for Infant Minds," and "Rhymes for the Nursery." In 1815, she published a prose composition of higher pretensions, called "Display," which was very successful. Her last and principal work, published while she was living, consists of "Essays in Rhymes, on Morals and Manners." The latter part of her life was passed principally at Ongar, where her family had resided since 1810. She died of an affection of the lungs, in April, 1823. After her decease, her prose writings, consisting of "Contributions of Q. Q. to a Periodical," and her "Correspondence," consisting chiefly of letters to her intimate friends. were collected and published. No one who reads her works, and those of Cowper, but must, we think, notice the likeness in the character of their minds. Miss Taylor possessed, like Cowper, a vein of playful humour, that often gave point and vividness to the most sombre sentiment, and usually animated the strains she sung for children; but still, there was often over her fancy, as over his, a deep shade of pensiveness,—"morbid humility," she sometimes calls it,—and no phrase could better express the state of feeling which frequently oppressed her heart. The kind and soothing domestic influences which were always around her path in life, prevented the sad and despairing tone of her mind from ever acquiring the predominence, so as to unfit her for her duties; in this respect she was much more favoured than the bard of Olney. But we are inclined to think that, had she met with severe trials and misfortunes, the character of her poetry would have been more elevated, and her language more glowing. The retiring sensitiveness of her disposition kept down, usually, that energy of thought and elevation of sentiment, which, from a few specimens of her later writings, she seemed gifted to sustain, could she only have been incited to the effort. Her piety was deep and most humble: diffidence was usually in all things the prevailing mood of her mind; and this often clouded her religious enjoyment. But she triumphed in the closing scene; those "unreal fears" were in a great measure removed, and she went down to the "cold dark grave" with that firm trust in her Redeemer which disarmed death of its terrors.

# A Dictionary of Hymnology/Ave maris stella

​Ave maris stella. Anon. [B. V. M] This hymn, so well known as to its words, is of uncertain authorship. It has been wrongly ascribed to St. Bernard, as it is found in a St, Gall ms., No. 95, of the 9th cent, and to Venantius Fortunatus (by M. A. Luchi, 1789), but on insufficient authority. The text is given in Daniel, i., No. 171, with various readings. (Other notes are given in vol. iii. p. 286, and vol iv. p. 136.) Mone gives five paraphrases of this hymn, Nos. 496-500; each line of the original being followed by versified explanations and simplifications, a certain testimony to the popularity of the original.
It has been treated with so much respect as hardly to have been altered in the Roman Breviary, 1632, and was retained in the revised Breviaries of French dioceses (Paris, Lyons, &c.), as one of the few exceptions of old hymns not supplanted. It is appointed for Vespers in the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, Officium parvum beatae Mariae, Paris, Lyons, Le Mans, &c.; some, as Paris, Le Mans, &c., having it also in the Saturday Office of the Blessed Virgin, Officium beatae Mariae in Sabbato, and in Feasts which have no special or proper hymns.
In the Roman Breviary it is the Hymn for 1st and 2nd vespers in the Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary; also in the Office of the B. V. M. on Saturdays, and in the Little Office, Officium parvum Beatae Mariae Virginis, at 1st vespers, there being no 2nd vespers in these two latter cases.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDICES.
APPENDIX.
The ten years which have elapsed since the first pages of this Dictionary were sent to press have seen many changes and developments in hymnological history and research. Old statements and conclusions have been retested, and in some instances overthrown, and new hymnbooks and hymnological works have been published. Many hymn writers have passed away, and new authors have come to the front. These causes, together with the late arrival of a few leading articles have necessitated this Appendix, which we now give in two parts: Part I. containing these articles, and Part II. those of less importance, together with notes on, corrections of, and additions to the annotations already in the Dictionary. Each Part is arranged in alphabetical order.
