# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Teomer

​TEOMER. A prominent Nephite military officer in the days of the Judges. In the war brought ​on by the treason and ambition of Amalickiah, he served under Helaman in the army of the southwest. Teomer took a prominent part in the siege and recapture of the city of Manti (B. C. 63), at which time he had command of one of the divisions of the Nephite army. When the Lamanites within the city, fearing that the besieging Nephite army would cut them off from their supplies, made a sortie and endeavored to drive them away, the main body of Helaman's troops retreated, while Gid and his men, and Teomer with his command, who were hid in the wilderness, fell in the Lamanite rear, cut off communication between the advancing army and the city, and then unexpectedly fell on the very small guard which the Lamanite commander had incautiously left to take care of Manti. The guard was easily overpowered, and Gid and Teomer obtained and retained possession of the city; during which time the main body of the Lamanites were out-generaled by Helaman, who led them afar off into the wilderness, and then by a rapid counter march, during the night, reached Manti before them.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Tubaloth

​TUBALOTH. A king of the Lamanites who waged war against the Nephites in the days of the Judges. He was of Nephite extraction being the son of Ammoron, the brother of Amalickiah, and a descendant of Zoram the servant of Laban. His father was killed by the Nephite general Teancum (B. C. 61), and it is probable that he succeeded his father on the throne, though he is not mentioned by name until ten years afterwards (B. C. 51). The death of Ammoron ended one of the most disastrous and long-continued wars that had ever devastated the lands of the Nephites, and appears to have been terminated by the Lamanites from sheer exhaustion. It was not until eight years afterwards that they again invaded the territory of their traditional enemies, when they were driven back to their own lands with great loss. Two years later, Tubaloth gathered and equipped an immense army, which he placed under a general named Coriantumr, who, disregarding the old tactics, marched directly to the city of Zarahemla, which he surprised and captured, and then continued his march northward towards the land Bountiful. But he was out-generaled and utterly defeated by the Nephites, he himself being slain; the remnants of his army were allowed by Moronihah to return to their own land. So disastrous was this campaign, that for sixteen years Nephite soil was free from the tread of the invader. We have no means of telling if Tubaloth was still king when the Lamanites recommenced hostilities in B. C. 35.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Timothy

​TIMOTHY. It is but little we are told in the Book of Mormon of the life or labors of this devoted servant of the Lord, this uncompromising preacher of righteousness. His days, before the coming of the Savior, were spent in proclaiming the saving truths of the Gospel, in declaring unto the Nephites that the kingdom of heaven was at hand, and in rebuking their constantly increasing depravity. His words cut like a two-edged sword, they laid bare the iniquities of their corrupt rulers and unjust judges, their seditious lawyers and idolatrous priests, as well as of the degraded rabble; he spared none whose deeds were evil. Angered at the unwelcome recital of their abounding crimes, the vile populace stoned him till he died, that they might no longer hear the sound of his reproving voice. But his work on earth was not yet finished; ​his brother Nephi, with the authority of the holy priesthood which he held, came to where the martyr lay, and in the power of Jesus' name, he raised Timothy from the dead. (A. C. 31.)
After the tribulations had ceased that marked the sacrifice of the Lord of life and glory, Nephi and Timothy, with many others, assembled at the Temple that was in the land Bountiful. There the Lord Jesus Christ appeared and ministered to them. He called Nephi to him, then eleven others, and gave them authority to baptize the people. Of these twelve, Timothy was one, and is mentioned next in order to his brother Nephi in the list given by the inspired historian.
After Jesus had chosen the Twelve, He commenced to teach the people the principles of the fulness of the Gospel. So He continued day by day until all was revealed, either to the multitude or to the Twelve, that was necessary for the eternal salvation of the obedient.
After the final departure of Jesus, the Disciples went forth in the midst of the people in the lands that had not been blessed with the personal visit of the Savior, to them they declared the glad message of life eternal; in the name of Jesus they baptized them, and by His authority they conferred the Holy Ghost. So abundantly and. so gloriously did the power of God rest with these servants of God, that they raised the dead, healed the sick, gave sight to the eyes of the blind and strength to the limbs of the lame; the deaf heard, the dumb spake, and all manner of miracles were performed, and all in the name of Jesus. Two years after His ascension, every part of the vast continent, where Nephite or Lamanite dwelt, had heard the message, and so abundant was the Disciples' success, that every soul was converted unto the Lord, and in their integrity to God they never faltered.
Timothy is not again mentioned by name in the Book of Mormon.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Aldrich, Henry

From volume 1 of the work.
​ALDRICH, Henry, D.D., was born in 1647, and educated at Westminster School. In due course he passed to Christ Church, Oxford, of which foundation he was afterwards so distinguished a member. He was admitted a student in 1662, and took his degree as Master of Arts in 1669. He then took holy orders, and ​was elected to the living of Wem, in Shropshire, but continued to reside in his college and became eminent as a tutor. In February 1681 he was installed a Canon of Christ Church, and in May following he took his degrees as Bachelor and Doctor in Divinity. In 1689 he was installed Dean of Christ Church. He was as remarkable for the zeal with which he discharged the duties of his station as for the urbanity of his manners. His college was his first consideration, and he sought by every means to extend its resources and uphold its reputation. He closed his career Dec. 14, 1710.
Dr. Aldrich was a man of considerable attainments, a good scholar, architect, and musician. He wrote a compendium of logic, which is still used at Oxford, and a number of tracts upon theology, the classics, etc., the titles of which may be seen in Kippis (Biog. Brit.). He was also one of the editors of Clarendon's History of the Rebellion. Of his skill in architecture Oxford possesses many specimens; amongst others Peckwater quadrangle at Christ Church, the chapel of Trinity College, and All Saints' church. He cultivated music with ardour and success. 'As dean of a college and a cathedral he regarded it as a duty, as it undoubtedly was in his case a pleasure, to advance the study and progress of church music. His choir was well appointed, and every vicar, clerical as well as lay, gave his daily and efficient aid in it. He contributed also largely to its stock of sacred music; and some of his services and anthems, being preserved in the collections of Boyce and Arnold, are known and sung in every cathedral in the kingdom.' He formed a large musical library, in which the works of the Italian composers, particularly of Palestrina and Carissimi, are prominent features. This he bequeathed to his college, and it is to be regretted that a catalogue has not been printed. Catch-singing was much in fashion in the Dean's time; nor did he himself disdain to contribute his quota towards the stock of social harmony. His catch, 'Hark the Bonny Christ Church Bells,' in which he has made himself and his college the subject of merriment, is well known. He afterwards wrote and used to sing a Greek version of this catch. He was an inveterate smoker, and another of his catches in praise of smoking is so constructed as to allow every singer time for his puff.

# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Preface

PREFACE
For nearly half of a long life it has been my vocation to collect and arrange legends and records of women worshipped as saints or so considered. Although the work has been to me a sanctuary from the anxieties and vexations of daily life, I have, during the whole time, been painfully conscious of my unworthiness to write on the subject of saints, and my inability to approach the degree of excellence to which such a book might attain in better hands. From the mass of information—often contradictory—concerning this vast multitude, I have selected the most remarkable incidents. Some of these are chosen on account of the historical importance of the heroine, her noble character or wonderful gifts, or because of some interesting side-light which they shed on customs or beliefs of her time and country. Some few stories have been included as examples of the extreme absurdity to which these memorials have reached. Where there are several saints of one name they are arranged chronologically.
My information has been gathered largely from the Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists, from the histories of the various countries and religious orders to which these saintly women belonged, from collections of Lives and legends, and from many other sources. Authorities are given for each article. A list of the books consulted will be found at the end of the second volume. I have generally abstained from criticising or expressing a personal opinion. Where I have said that a story is untrue or an author untrustworthy, the statement is made on the authority of some accredited Catholic writer.
There are moments when it seems as though the presenting of a subject so remote from modern tendencies almost asks for an apology. If such be needed, let it be found in the reflection that in the same way as the monasteries preserved the slumbering germs of culture and civilization through hundreds of years of barbarism, so, throughout the darkness of the Middle Ages and the spirit-deadening struggle ​for material prosperity, it was by those who are remembered as saints that the light of the Christian ideal was kept alive.
It appears that there is at present in English no complete dictionary of the Christian saints. When such a work comes to be written I trust that my book may be of use to the compiler. Meanwhile, I hope that readers will find in these pages any sainted woman for whom they are likely to look and some of whom they probably never heard.
I owe a great debt of gratitude to the kind friends who have helped me in various ways. Many of them have passed over the dark river; to those who remain I offer heartfelt thanks. I commend my subject to the toilers and the idlers of the busy world, and my work to their indulgence.

# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Olive (5)

​St. Olive (5), or Uliva of Palermo, June 20, V. Probably 9th century. One of the chief patrons of Palermo. Olive was a noble maiden of Palermo. At thirteen she was accused of being a Christian, before the Mohammedan ruler of Sicily. As she could not be turned from her religion, and as the Saracens were unwilling to put a lady of her rank to death, she was banished, apparently to Tunis. Here she worked miracles and made converts, wherefore she was scourged and sent into the forest. The wild beasts, instead of tearing her in pieces, became tame and gentle to her. About seven years after her banishment, some princes who were hunting in the woods, found this beautiful girl in that solitude. As they were going to take her, she said, "Touch me not, lest He who has protected me for seven years should take you and destroy you." They were converted and told these marvels to the governor of the place, who sent for the holy virgin and after many tortures had her beheaded. It is possible, however, that the martyrdom of St. Olive happened under the Vandals and not under the Saracens. AA.SS.

# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Przbislawa

​St. Przbislawa, Przipislavva, or Pribislava, 10th century. One of the native Patron Saints of Bohemia. Granddaughter of St. Ludmilla. Daughter of Wratislaus, duke of Bohemia (+ 916) and his heathen wife Drahomira. Sister of St. Wenceslas and of Boleslas the cruel. Aunt of St. Mlada. Drahomira and Boleslas were strong upholders of the heathen party in the State while Wenceslas was an earnest Christian. In 938 Boleslas killed Wenceslas at the door of the church. In the struggle Wenceslas's left ear was cut off. After a time so many miracles were wrought by the murdered Saint, that his guilty brother became alarmed and had his body translated into the church of St. Vitas, in Prague; but the severed ear was missing until it was divinely revealed to his holy sister Przbislawa in what place it must be sought for. She was buried first near the village of Jablon, under Mount Krutina, where God honoured her body with celestial lights and angelic songs, whereby many heathen were won to Christ, and after several years she was solemnly translated to a church built in her name and honour, by a certain Christian named Chotislaw. Now she lies in the citadel of Prague, beside her brother St. Wenceslas, near the door of the cathedral.

Przbislawa is possibly the same as Strzezislawa, mother of St. Adalbert. Strzezislawa is called daughter of Wratislaw, and, in certain monastic records referred to by Chanowski, she is styled a sister of St. Wenceslaus. She married Count Slawnic of Libic, who was related on his mothar's side to the ducal ​house of Saxony. Slawnick and Strzezislawa had six sons, of whom five at least were martyrs. The most famous was Woytesch or Wojtjch, afterwards called Adalbert. He was the second bishop of Prague, succeeding Ditmar in 982. He was most earnest in teaching and spreading the Christian religion in his own country and in Poland and Hungary, and was for some years a monk in Italy. After his return to Bohemia, he was murdered by heathens, and is accounted a martyr. One of his brothers, Radim, was devoted to him and was perhaps killed with him in 997; the other four were besieged in their ancestral castle of Libic, by the Wrsowces, and being driven at last to take refuge in the church, were murdered before the altar. Palacky. Chanowski, Vestigia, II. 42.

​St. Olive (6) or Oliva, June 3. Date unknown. Patron of Anagni and Cori. Her high-born parents prepared a suitable marriage for her, but her only ambition was to be numbered among the spouses of Christ. She therefore fled to a church and took the veil. She outdid her sister nuns in every kind of asceticism, avoiding praise and bearing false accusations with meekness. Not content with ordinary self-tortures, she stuck thorns into her breast and would not pull them out until the wounds festered. R.M. AA.SS.
