Excerpt:Archbishop Adam Loftus Adam Loftus (c. 1533 5 April 1605) was Archbishop of Armagh , and later Dublin , and Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1581. He was also the first Provost of Trinity College, Dublin . Early life Loftus was born in 1533, the second son of a monastic bailiff , Edward Loftus, in the heart of the English Yorkshire Dales . Edward died when Loftus was only 8, leaving his estates to his elder brother Robert Loftus. Edward had made his living through the Catholic Church, but Adam embraced the Protestant faith early in his development. As an undergraduate at Trinity College, Cambridge , Adam reportedly attracted the notice of the young Queen Elizabeth, as much by his physique as through the power of his intellect, having shone before her in oratory. There is good reason to believe that this particular encounter may never have taken place; but they certainly met more than once and the Queen became his patron. The relationship was to last her entire reign, coming to Adam's rescue at times in his career when less tolerant patrons might have held back. At Cambridge he took holy orders (as a Catholic priest, though England had just turned Protestant) and was named rector of Outwell St Clement in Norfolk. He came to the attention of the Catholic Queen Mary (1553-1558), who named him vicar of Gedney in Lincolnshire. On Elizabeth's accession in 1558 he declared himself Anglican - a wise move. ... ...

Il est connu pour sa découverte des quaternions, mais il contribua aussi au développement de l'optique, de la dynamique et de l'algèbre. Ses recherches se révélèrent importantes pour le développement de la mécanique quantique. Les travaux mathématiques de Hamilton incluent l'étude de l'optique géométrique, l'adaptation des méthodes dynamiques aux systèmes optiques, l'application des quaternions et des vecteurs aux problèmes de mécanique et géométriques, les possibilités de résolution des équations polynomiales, notamment l'équation générale du cinquième degré, les opérateurs linéaires, dont il prouve un résultat concernant ces opérateurs dans l'espace des quaternions et qui est un cas spécial du théorème de Cayley-Hamilton. Hamilton est né à Dublin, son père est Archibald Hamilton. Une des branches de la famille écossaise auquel il appartient s'était installée dans le nord de l'Irlande au temps de Jacques I d'Écosse, ce qui a parfois donné l'impression que Hamilton était écossais. Hamilton est éduqué par James Hamilton, un prêtre anglican qui était son oncle. Enfant prodige ; son génie se révéla tout d'abord dans sa capacité à apprendre les langues. À l'âge de 7 ans, il a déjà fait des progrès considérables en hébreu et, à l'âge de 13 ans, sous la direction de son oncle qui est linguiste, il a déjà acquis autant de langues qu'il a d'années. Ces langues étaien...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Bible; but that opens up a field so wide, that to treat adequately of all that it is desirable should be known about it would give us employment, not for one Term, but for several years. Last year you attended Lectures on Natural Religion and on Christian Evidences. I assume that you then went through the proofs that there is a God ; that there is no impossibility in His revealing His will to His creatures, using miracle or prophecy as credentials to authenticate His message ; and that you went through the proofs of our Lord's divine mission, establishing the conclusion that He was the bearer to the world of a revelation from God. Then, in logical order, follows the question, How is that revelation to be known to us ? what are the books that record it ?—in other words : What is the Canon of Scripture ?In this investigation the determination of the New Testament Canon comes before that of the Old. We must first determine what the books are which contain authentic records of the teaching of our Lord and His Apostles; because we can then use their testimony to the older books, which they reverenced as divinely inspired. Next after the question of the Canon comes that of Biblical Criticism. Supposing it to be established that certain books were written, containing an authoritative record of Divine revelations, we have still toinquire whether those books have come down safely to us— how we are to remove all the errors which may have accumulated during the process of transcription in many centuries, and so restore the texts to their original purity. Perhaps here might follow questions concerning the Translation of these texts, for without translation books w... ... Read more
