ODENSE

John, St. Leonard, and St. Remigius, the architce- tural setting surmounted by a bust of the Saviour; and in a side chapel the monument of Bishop Salutati, with a portrait bust (U4-6). Equally important, in the Church of the Badia, Florence, is I he monument to its founder, the famous Margrave Hugo of Ande- burg (finished 1481), and an earlier work, the tomb of Bernardo Giuigni (146(j); here also is a relief of the Madonna and saints. In the sacristy of Santa Croce there is a marble ciborium with angels. Mino worked with Antonio Rosellino on the pulpit in the cathedral at Prato, contributing two reUefs from the life of the Baptist. In 1473 he went to Rome where he re- mained apparently about six years. It is doubtful if all the monuments there attributed to him are of his own hands; there is no question about the tomb of the Florentine Francesco Tornabuoni in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the remains of the mon- ument to Paul II in the crypt of St. Peter's, and the tabernacle in S. Maria in Trastevere bears the in- scription "Opus Mini". Monuments attributed to him, noted for purity and elegance of design, are those of Cristoforo della Rovere (S. Maria del Popolo) ; Cardinal Niccolo Forteguerra (S. Cecilia) ; and Pietro Riario (SS. Apostoli). Further attributions are the tomb of Bartolomeo Roverella (S. Clemente); that of the Scotch Bishop Alan (S. Prassede); and the Piccolomini tomb (S. Agostino). Other works are the ciborium in the cathedral at Volterra; a marble bust of the Baptist (Louvre, Paris); Madonna and Child, a bust of a young Florentine woman, and a portrait of Niccolo Strozzi dated 1454, in the museum, Berlin.

M. L. Handlet. Morales, Christ6bal, composer, b. at Seville, 2 Jan., 1.512; d. at Mdlaga, 14 June, 1.553. From 1 Sept., 1535, to 4 April, 1.540, he was a member of the papal choir. Formed in the Netherland School, he belonged to that group of distinguished Spaniards — da Vittoria, de Baema, del Encina, Ribera, Penalosa, and others — whose musical achievements in the six- teenth century won for their country a renown which has since declined. His style is original in a marked degree. Many contrapuntal devices invented by him came into general use after his time. Among his com- positions are numerous masses for four, five, and six voices, settings of the "Lamentations" for four and six voices, a large number of motets for from three to six voices, and settings of the "Magnificat" according to the Gregorian modes for four and six voices. The latter are considered by Ambros to be Morales' most finished works. Besides the papal archives, where five masses, his "Lamentations", "Magnificats", and a number of other works are preserved, Proske's "Musica divina" and Eslava's "Lira sacra" contain

works of the master. In Wooldridge's "Oxford His- tory of Music" (Vol. II) is reproduced a three-part motet which offers a striking example of the style of this composer.

Murray, John O'Kane, phj'sician, historian, b. in County Antrim, Ireland, 12 Dec, 1847; d. at Chicago, Illinois, U. S. A., 30 July, 1885. He emi- grated to New York with his parents in 1856, and was sent to St. John's College, Fordham, to make his studies. After finishing these he took the medical course at the University of the City of New York and practised as a physician in Brookhm until 1880. The last five years of his life were spent in a vain effort to ward off the ravages of tuberculosis to which he fell a victim. He was a constant contributor to the Catholic Press and periodicals, and compiled a number of books, the most notable of which were : a "Popular History of the Catholic Church in the United States ' ' ( 1 876) ; ' ' Poets and Poet ry of Ireland ' ' (1877); "Catholic Heroes and Heroines" (1878); "Little Lives of the Great Saints" (1879); "Catholic Pioneers of America" (1881); "Lessons in English Literature" (1883). He also revised Kearney's "General History" and brought it down to date and had begun to do the same to Lingard's "England". What he wrote was very widely read and always exerted a good influence.

Musso, Cornelius, Friar Minor Conventual, Bishop of Bitonto, prominent at the Council of Trent ; b. at Piacenza, 1511; d. 1574. He was, perhaps, the most renowned orator of his day, and has been justly styled the "Italian Demosthenes". Returning to ancient patristic models, he has raised the homily to its highest form of perfection. He was among the first three bishops present at the Council of Trent, where he delivered the inaugural oration, distin- guishing himself especially at the debates on Justi- fication. In 1,560 he was sent as papal legate to Em- peror Ferdinand. He wrote: "De divina historia libri tres" (Venice, 1585; 1587); "Comment, in epist. ad Romanes" (Venice, 1588); "De operibus sex dierum" (Venice, 1.598). His "Conciones evangelio- rum" and "Sermones" (ed. by Jos. Musso, Venice, 1580) were translated into Latin by Michael of Isselt (Cologne, 1594). Musso was buried in the Church of the Twelve Apostles, Rome.

Odense (Othinia), Ancient See of (Othonien- si.s), in Denmark. The diocese included (he islands of Fiinen, L;ingoland, Tiuisinge, Laaland, Falster, Als, and Aerii. It was founded before 9SS from Schleswig, and the fir.st chm-cli liuilt at den.se was dedicated to St. Mary. Othhikiir Hvide the Elder, a missioniiry bishop in Sweden, is said to have preaclied Christian- ity in Fimen, but the first Bishop of Odense who.se name is known with certainty is Reginbert (Reginar), an Englishman consecrated by .\ri-hbisliop Alnoth of Canterbury in 1020 or 1022 aiid sent liy King C;inute the Great to Denmark. Reginlicrt w;is succeeded by Eilbert, a clerk of Bremen (about 10415-72). After

his death the diocese was vacant and subject to the Bishop of Roskilde, until lOSti, ;it the earliest, when the English Benedictine monk Hubald was ap- pointed its bishop. On 10 July, 1086, King St. Canute was murdered in the Church of St. Alban, Odense. The fame of his miracles and the bad har- vests which followed upon his murder led to his canonization and to the translation (19 April, 1101) of his relics by Bishop Hub;d(l to the new Church of Our Ladv ;iiiii St. .\lban. At King Eric Eiegod's re- quest Williiim II, King of EngLind. induced the Abbot of Evesham, Worcestershire, to send over twelve of his monks to Odense in 1100. They served the
