as missionary Bishop of Aarhus. After the latter's death in 988 all Jutland was united in one diocese, with Ribe or Viborg as its centre. It was redivided in 1060, and one Christian was ordained Bishop of Aarhus by Adalbert I, Archbishop of Hamburg. Another bishop, Ulfketil (1102-34) planned the town of Aarhus. The warUke Svend. Udsson (1166-91) founded the Cistercian abbey at Om. His successor, Peter Vagnsen, began in 1201 the Cathedral of St. Clement. Near it lay the wooden church built by Bishop Ulfketil in 1102 to contain the relics of St

the chief founders of the Church in Palestine, and with Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles; his industry and dihgence as an eye-witness and in examining witnesses; the remarkable agreement of the Acts of the Apostles with the Epistles of Paul and with the more genuine historical records, all go to show that Luke had at his command most trustworthy sources, and that he used them in such a manner as to make his work historically authoritative. This authority is not diminished by the difficulties alleged against the supernatural facts he records, by his manner of

Clement. About 1150 the Venerable Niels, Prince of condensing statements, by apparent disagreements

Denmark, died and was buried in St. Clement's churchyard. The offerings at his tomb facilitated the commencement of the new stone cathedral. This waa finished about 1263, but in 1330 the greater part of it was burnt down. Peter Jensen Lodeliat (1.386- 95) and Bo Magnus.sen (139.5-1423) were the prelates mainly concerned in the erection of the fine btlilding extant to-day. The la.st Catholic bishop, Ove Bilde (imprisoned 1536), and Paulus Helia?, prior of the Car- melite monastery at Elsinore, attempted in vain to stay the progress of the Reformation at Aarhus. There were in the diocese: a chapter with 34 prebendaries at Aarhus cathedral; Benedictines at Essenbeck, Voer, Ailing, and Veirluv; August inian Canons at Tviluni, Cistercians at Om, who suri'ived tiU 1560; and Car- thusians at Aarhus. There were also Franciscans at Horsens and Randers, Dominicans at Aarhus, Hor- sens, and Randers, Carmelites and a hospital of the Holy Spirit at Aarhus. There were Hospitallers of St. John till 1.568 at Horsens. Lastly there were Brigit- tines at Manager from 1412 to 1592.

At Aarhus there is now a Jesuit.s' college with a fine church, as well as a large hospital in charge of the

Adelard of Bath, a twelfth-century Scholastic phi- losojjher, b. about 1100. Adelard was probably an Enghshman by birth; he seems to have studied at Tours and Laon and probably taught at Laon and at Paris. He was one of the first medieval scholars to seek knowledge by traveUing in Greece and .\sia Minor. It was these journeys that, apparently, brought him into contact with the learning of the Arabians, which he utilized especially in the discussion of physical and physiological problems. He wrote a translation of Euchd's geometry from the Arabic, and composed two original treatises entitled "De eodem et diverso" and "Quaestiones naturales". The former was edited in 1903 and printed in Baumker's "Beitrage"; the latter exists in an edition dated 1477. Adelard was a pro- noiinced Platonist in psychology' and metaphysics, while he opposed the Platonic doctrine of realism in his theory of universals. His position in regard to

Sisters'of St. Joseph of Chamb^ry, who also have the latter question was that of Walter of Montague, — -- - and the other Indmerentists. His most noteworthy

contribution to psychology is his attempt to localize mental functions, in which he shows the influence of Galen and the Arabians.
