[132] Can. 8 (Labbe xi. 274). It is to be observed that in the Leofric
Missal, of much earlier date, the Ember days are noted as falling in the
first week of Lent; in the week of Pentecost; in the full week before the
autumnal equinox; and in the full week before the Nativity.
[133] The study of the Martyrologies of Bede, Florus, Ado, and Usuard
has been recently approached in the true scientific spirit by Dom Henri
Quentin, of Solesmes. Manuscripts in the various libraries of Europe
have been examined and classified, and the sources of the entries traced
in most cases with great success. See this writer’s _Les Martyrologes
historiques du moyen age_ (1908).

[135] [On these terms see Ducange, _Glossarium_, s.v. _Festum_; Addis and
Arnold, _Catholic Dictionary_, art. ‘Festival.’ Edd.]
[136] The classification of festivals in the Kalendars of Germany with
Tyrol, Holland, Denmark, and Scandinavia, as printed by Grotefend, varies
much. We find such terms as ‘Triplex’ as well as ‘Duplex’ (Breslau);
‘Duplex compositum’ (Utrecht); ‘ix Psalmorum’ (Metz); ‘Bini’ (_i.e._
bini chori) at Salzburg; ‘Festa Prelatorum,’ ‘Festa Canonicorum,’ ‘Festa
vicariorum’ (Roskilde); ‘Summum’ and ‘semi-summum’ (Erfurt), and many
forms that are unfamiliar to English students.
[137] For further observations on the Kalendars of the Church of England
and of Churches in communion with it see Appendix III.

[139] For details see Baillet, _Les Vies des Saints_, tom. I, in his
_Discours_, pp. xxxiii.-xxxix.
[140] In the recently discovered _Testament of the Lord_, the word
‘Pascha’ is used for the season preceding Easter, even as ‘Pentecost’ is
used for the season of fifty days preceding Whitsunday.
[141] _Gute Freitag_ is found occasionally in the German Church Orders of
the Reformation Period.
[142] In Greek writers τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατῖται. [For a full discussion of
the whole question, with reference to the authorities, see V. H. Stanton,
_The Gospels as Historical Documents_, Part I., pp. 173-197. Edd.]
[143] See Eusebius, _H.E._ v. 24, where the full context scarcely leaves
a doubt that παρεχώρησεν τὴν εὐχαριστίαν must be understood in the sense
that Anicetus yielded the place of celebrant to Polycarp.
[144] _H.E._ v. 24.
[145] We do not enter upon the discussion of the question whether he
actually proceeded to the length of a formal excommunication. In certain
of his letters he undoubtedly spoke of them as ἀκοινωνήτους. Euseb.
