Zsámbék Premontre monastery church

Zsámbék Premontre monastery church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zsámbék Premontre monastery church


Location Zsámbék
Country Hungary
Denomination Roman Catholic
History
Founded 1220
Architecture
Style Romanesque
Groundbreaking 1220
Completed 13th century
Closed 1736

The Zsámbék Premontre monastery church is a ruin of a Romanesque church in the town of Zsámbék, Pest County, Hungary. The construction of the church started in 1220.[1]

[edit]History

The construction of the church started as a part of a Premonstratensian monastery. It was the third consecutive church standing at the same site.[2] The construction was completed in the 13th century. It was a private family church (German: Geschlechterkirche), built by a single family (the family of Aynad), and might have been the last of such churches in Hungary.[1] The church was a three-nave basilica, the cloister was attached to one of the sides.

In 1398, the Aynards went out of favor, and the king ordered their property to be confiscated. Zsámbék was transferred to Maróthi family, and in 1477, when these became extinct, Mattias Corvinus transferred the monastery to the Pauline Fathers. The church and the monastery were subsequently rebuilt in the Gothic style.[2]

The monastery was badly damaged during the Turkish rule in Hungary. In the 17th century, the church became property of the Zichy family which used a chapel in the monastery for services instead. On June 28, 1736 the church collapsed as a result of an earthquake, and since then has been deserted.[2]

Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand

Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand is a non-profit organisation founded in 2002 which aims to coordinate and facilitate science fiction and fantasy-related fan activities within New Zealand. Being an umbrella organisation rather than being affiliated to any club or clubs, it hopes to remain free of the factional problems which beset its predecessor, theNational Association for Science Fiction.

The organisation runs the national science fiction awards (the Sir Julius Vogel Awards) in coordination with the organising committees of the annual national conventions. As national conventions in New Zealand are run on a year-by-year basis by different organising groups, SFFANZ provides continuity between these committees and is also able to provide legal and financial assistance that would be unavailable to a short-term committee organisation.

Question book-new.svg

Jean Salmon Macrin (1490 – 20 October 1557) was a Neo-Latin poet of French nationality. His poetry sold massively well, and was thought of as quite influential during his lifetime; however his fame did not live on, and his poetry was never republished after the 16th century.

Macrin was born in Loudun, and retained an intimate attachment to the countryside of his youth throughout his life. Patriotism and nostalgia for his ‘patria’ feature as prominent themes in his poetry. His father supported him in his poetic vocation, and in his teens he was sent to Paris to study under Jacques Lefèvre d’Etaples. There he mastered Greek and Latin, and honed his poetic art alongside Quintianus Stoa. When his studies ended, he became secretary to Antoine Bohier, and later entered Court life as tutor to the sons of René de Savoie. After the death of the latter, Macrin remained in the service of his son Honorat. The poet found that Court life was not well-suited to his temperament, and he composed little during this period. It was his marriage to Guillone Boursault (‘Gelonis’) that reignited his passion for poetry, and his two most famous works (the ‘Epithalamiorum liber’ of 1528–1531 and the ‘Carminum libri quattuor’ of 1530) contained many poems dedicated to her. Macrin’s poetry met with great success in his later years, and he enjoyed the favour of the king, Francis I.

Macrin boasted of having been the first to introduce Catullus and Horace into French poetry. His principal Neo-Latin models were the Italians Pontano, Marullus, Poliziano and Sannazaro. He was widely known as the French Horace, and his works had a great influence on vernacular poetry, especially the Pléiade.

Du Bellay, in his ‘Amores Faustinae’, mentions Macrin in his list of great contemporary love poets, alongside Pontano, Sannazaro, Marullus, Petrarch, Bèze, Tyard and Baïf.
