1329. 'This I do, not for kinship, but out of true love.' 1335. _a legende_, a story of martyrdom, like that of a saint's life. 1338. St. Martin of Tours, whose day is Nov. 11. 1341. St. Denis of France, St. Dionysius, bishop of Paris, martyred A.D. 272, whose day is Oct. 9. Near his place of martyrdom was built a chapel, which was first succeeded by a church, and then by the famous abbey of St. Denis, in which King Dagobert and his successors were interred. The French adopted St. Denis as their patron saint; see Chambers, Book of Days, ii. 427; Alban Butler, Lives of the Saints, Oct. 9. 1353. _sit_, is becoming, befits; see E. 460, 1277. 1384. _Geniloun_, Genilon or Ganelon, the traitor who betrayed Charlemagne's army at Roncesvalles. For this deed he was torn to death by wild horses, according to the romance-writers. See La Chanson de Roland, l. 3735. Cf. note to B. 3579, and Book of the Duchesse, 1121, and my note upon it. 1396. _chilindre_, a kind of portable sun-dial, lit. cylinder. A thirteenth-century Latin treatise on the use of the _chilindre_ was edited by Mr. E. Brock for the Chaucer Society, and I here copy his clear description of the instrument. 'The Chilindre (_cylindrus_) or cylinder is one of the manifold forms of the sun-dial, very simple in its construction, but rude and inaccurate as a time-shower. According to the following treatise, it consists of a wooden cylinder, with a central bore from top to bottom, and with a hollow space in the top, into which a moveable rotary lid with a little knob at the top is fitted. This lid is also bored in the centre, and a string passed through the whole instrument. Upon this string the chilindre hangs [perpendicularly] when in use. The style or gnomon works on a pin fixed in the lid. When the instrument is in use, the style projects at a right angle to the surface of the cylindrical body, through a notch in the side of the lid, but can, at pleasure, be turned down and slipt into the central bore, which is made a little wider at the top to receive it. The body of the _chilindre_ is marked with a table of the points of the shadow, a table of degrees for finding the sun's altitude, and spaces corresponding to [171] the months of the year and the signs of the zodiac. Across these spaces are drawn six oblique hour-lines. 'To ascertain the time of day by the _chilindre_, consider what month it is, and turn the lid round till the style stands directly over the corresponding part of the _chilindre_; then hold up the instrument by the string so that the style points towards the sun, or in other words, so that the shadow of the style falls perpendicularly, and the hour will be shewn by the lowest line reached by the shadow.' Another treatise of the same character was subsequently edited by Mr. Brock for the same Society. It is entitled 'Practica Chilindri; or the Working of the Cylinder; by John Hoveden.'
