Rh AN6L0NA 512 ANGOLA script, one of the treasures of the British Museum, is also remarkable for the beauty of its interlacetl ornament. This form of decoration, though no doubt originally derived from the Irish missionaries who accompanied St. Aidan to Northumbria, soon be- came a distinctive feature of the art of the Anglo- Saxons. It is as conspicuous in their stone carvings (compare the early crosses mentioned above) as it is in the decoration of their manuscripts, and it long survived in a modified form. In the field of history, again, we possess in the so-called " Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", reaching in some manuscripts from the Saxon conquest down to the middle of the twelfth century, the most wonderful chronicle in the ver- nacular which is known to any European people; while in the "Beowulf" we have a comparatively late transcription of a pagan Teutonic poem which in subject and inspiration is older than the eighth cen- tury. But it is impossible to enumerate within nar- row limits even the more important elements of the rich literature of the Anglo-Saxon period. Neither can we describe the many architectural remains, more particularly of churches, which survive from before the Conquest, and which, though mainly note- worthy for their massive strength, are not by any means lacking in a sense of beauty or destitute of pleasing ornament. The ancient Saxon tower of Earl's 15arton church near Northampton may be appealed to as an illustration of the rest.

Herbert Thurston. Anglona-Tursi, an Italian diocese comprising twenty-seven towns and three villages in the province of Potenza and nine towns and one village in the province of Cosenza, Archdiocese of Acerenza. The diocese is sometimes called Tursi because to this last-named city was transferred the See of Anglona, after the latter's destruction, in the days of Queen Johanna of Naples. Mention of the Diocese of Anglona in history is very late; all knowledge of its origin and ecclesiastical organization is lost in the Middle Ages. Only in 1077 do we find a Bishop of Anglona, Simon, who was present at the ceremony of donation of some rich fields made by Hugo di Chiaromonte and his wife Ginarga to the celebrated Basilian monastery of Sts. Elias and Anastasius (Ughelli, VII, 79). It has 40 parishes, 138 secular priests, and 9.3,000 inhabitants. Ughelli. Italia Sacra (Venice, 1722).

Angola and Congo, also known as Santa Cruz DE Reino de Angola, and as Sao Paolo de Loanda, diocese of Portuguese West Africa, suffragan of Lisbon. Its territory was discovered by the Portu- guese in the latter part of the fifteenth century, and after 1514 was subject to the ecclesiastical jurisdic- tion of the Grand Prior of the Order of Clirist at Funchal in the Madeira Islands. In l.'59 it was made an episcopal see by Clement VIII. The natives (Bantus, Bundas, Bushmen, etc.) number, it is said, 2,000,000. There are 1,000,000 Catholics, for whom, according to Father Werner's figures, there are 82 parishes, 8 churches, 10 chapels, and 30 priests. P'or those figures he quotes the diocesan reports to the Propaganda, in " Missiones Catholicoo", for 1888. The bishop resides at Loanda, agrcat seaport (14,000), with a railway that reaches inland some 200 miles to Ambaca, through a territory covered with rich plantations. lUrrANDiER, Anntuiire pont. cath.
