QUINONES

Quin, MicEAEL Joseph, originator of the "Dublin Review", b. at Thurles, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, 1796; d. at BouIogne-sur-Mer, 19 Feb., 1843. Coming to London he was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn and while waiting for practice devoted himself to journal- ism. For the " Morning Herald " he wrote an account of his experiences in Spain during the latter part of 1822 and the first four months of 1823. This he pub- lished in book-form as "A Visit to Spain" (1823). In the following year he issued two translations, "Mem- oirs of Ferdinand VII" and "A Statement of some of the principal events in the public life of Don Agustin de Iturbide". He became editor of the "Monthly Review " in 1825 and held that post for seven years. During this period he contributed many articles on foreign policy to the "Morning Chronicle", and edited "The Catholic Journal", a weekly newspaper which ran for one year only. Further travels in Hungary, Wal- lachia, Servia, and Turkey furnished him with mate- rial for a new book in 1835, called "A Steam Voyage down the Danube", which was so successful that it was translated into French and German. But his most lasting work was the "Dublin Review", which has ever since remained the leading Catholic periodical in the British Isles. Of its first beginnings Cardinal Wiseman wrote: "It was in 1836 that the idea of com- mencing a Catholic Quarterly was first conceived by the late learned and excellent Mr. Quin, who applied to the illustrious O'Connell and myself to join in the undertaking". Quin became the editor and chief contributor, writing five articles in the first number and four in the second. But the enterprise was not remunerative. After two numbers he resigned the editorship, being unable to devote so much time and trouble without financial advantage, but continued to contribute articles to succeeding issues. During 1842 he edited "The Tablet", pending the disputes between Lucas and the publishers. His remaining works are: "The Trade of Banking in England" (1833); a pamphlet on the proposed abolition of local probate courts (1834); "Nourmahal, an Oriental Romance" (1838); "Petra", translated from the French (1839), and "Steam Voyages on the Seine, the Moselle and the Rhine" (1843). He married a daughter of Edward Wallis of Burton Grange, York, and had three daughters by her.

Quinctianus (Quintianos), Saints. — (1) Under the date of 1 April the pre.sent "Roman Martyrology" mentions a saint of this name, together with a com- panion named Irenseus. In the " Martyrologium Hieronymianum" the same saint is mentioned with three companions under the same date, the topo- graphical note "in Asia Minor" being appended [ed. De Rossi-Duchesne (38)|. We have no further infor- mation concerning these martyrs.

(2) A bishop Quinctianus, probably identical with the "episcopus Urcitanus", suffered martyrdom with several other confessors in Africa during the persecu- tion under the Vandal king, Huneric (476-84), as related by Victor Vitensis ("De persecutione Van- dalica", I, xxix; II, xxviii; ed. Halm in "Mon. Germ. Hist.: Auct. antiq.", I, 8, 18). His feast is cele- brated on 23 May. In the "Martyrologium Hiero- nymianum" several other African martyrs of this name are mentioned on various other days, but nothing further is known of them.

(3) A long list of Christian martyrs from Catania in Sicily are found in the above-mentioned martyrol- ogy [e({. cit., (3)], and also in the present "Roman Martyrology" on 31 December; among these occurs the name of a Saint Quinctianus. Concerning this whole group, however, we have no historical informa- tion.

(4) In the list of Roman confessors who languished in prison during the Decian persecution (a. d. 250) a certain Quinctianus also occurs ("EpLst. Luciani ad Celerinum" inter Epist. Cypriani, XXII, iii; ed. Hartel, II, 535).

(5) The Synod of Agde (506) was attended by a Quinctianus, then Bishop of Rodez. A native of Africa, he had fled from the Arians to Gaul, and been appointed Bishop of Rodez. During the war between the Franks and the West Goths, he was a zealous supporter of Chlodwig I. He was, therefore, compelled to leave the territory of the West Goths, and proceeded to Auvergne, where he was hospitably received by Bishop Euphrasius. King Theodoric I appointed Quinctianus successor to St. ApoUinarius, Bishop of Clermont. On the death of the latter, Quinctianus succeeded to the See of Clermont, which he occupied until his death on 13 November, 525 or 526. His feast is celebrated on this date, except at Rodez, where it is kept on 14 June. In the "Roman Martyrology" his name stands under both dates.

Quinones (Quignonbz), Francis, cardinal, b. in the Kingdom of Leon, Spain, c. 1482; d. at Veroli, Italy, 5 Nov., 1540. He was the .son of Diego Fer- nandez de Quinones, Count of Luna, was educated as a page of Cardinal Ximenes, and at the age of sixteen entered the Order of Friars Minor in the convent of Los Angeles (Spain), taking the name of Francis of the Angels (1498). Having completed his studies, he successively discharged all the various offices of his order as custos, commissary general, and minister general. In 1521 he had obtained special permission and faculties from Leo X to go to the missions in America, together with Father Glapion, O.F.M., confessor of Charles V, but Glapion died in the same year, and Quinones was elected commissary general of the Ultramontane Franciscans (1521-23). In the general chapter of the order at Burgos, in 1523, he was elected minister general (1523-27). As general, he visited the convents of Spain (1523-25) and a great part of Italy and Belgium (1525-27), promoted studies, maintained general discipline, and was not less active in behalf of missions. In 1524 he sent twelve missionaries to Mexico, among them Father Juan Juarez, who later became the first bishop within the present territory of the United States. (See Engelhardt, "The Missions and Missionaries of Cali- fornia", San Francisco, 1908, I, 604.)

After the sack of Rome and the imprisonment of Clement VII (May, 1.527), Quinones, who was dis- tantly related to Charles V, and also his confidant, seemed the aptest man to effect the release of the pope, and a full reconciliation between him and the emperor. He was thrice sent to the emperor for this purpose, and his efforts were crowned with success by the deliverance of Clement (Dec, 1527), and the treaties of Barcelona (1528) and Cambrai (1529). As these embassies rendered his effective government of the order impos.sible, Quiiiones renounced the generalship in December, 1527, and in .September of the following year he was created cardinal of the title of S. Croce in Gerusalemme, hence his name "Cardinal of the Holy Cross". From 1.5.30 to 1.533 he was also Bishop of Coria, in Spain, and for a short time, in 1539, administrator of Acerno (Naples), but he was never Cardinal Bishop of Palestrina, as some authors assert. Cardinal Quiiiones always occupied a distinguished position in the Sacred College and closely followed the movement of the Reformation in Germany. When Paul III contemplated assembling a general council at Mantua, he sent (1536) the Cardinal of the Holy Cross to Ferdinand I, King of
