VI, 63, addresses the following verses to a certain Marianus, whose inheritance had excited the avarice of one of the intriguers: "You know you're being influenced, You know the miser's mind; You know the miser, and you sensed His purpose; still, you're blind." Pliny the Elder, Historia Naturalis, lib.
Baronius, Gibbon. Vid. Cave's Hist. Litterar. in nom. Lambertus. Gibbon makes this the Fatimite governor of some town in Galilee, laying the scene in Palestine. The name Capernaum is doubtfully mentioned in the history, but the occurrence is said to have taken place on the borders of Lycia. Anyhow, there were Turcomans in Palestine. Part of the account in the text is taken from Marianus Scotus.
The roots of this, in Sweden, are ground and made into bread. MILK-THISTLE. Carduus marianus. The young leaves in the spring, cut close to the root with part of the stalks on, are said to be good boiled. MOREL. Phallus esculentus. The morel grows in wet banks and moist pastures.

There is at no point any real change in the character of the chronicle. The continental chronicle which Florence had been using as the groundwork of his account, that of Marianus Scotus, ends with 1082, but his manuscript of the Saxon chronicle probably went on for some distance further, and about the time of Florence's death much use is made of Eadmer.
The writings of this abbot are said to have brought about a more frequent use of confession both in the world and in monasteries; and his legislation regarding the Blessed Sacrament fostered eucharistic devotion. Marianus Scotus is the author of a commentary on the Psalms, so precious that rarely was it allowed to pass beyond the walls of the monastic library. His commentary on St.
"And what will be the reward," asks the biographer of Marianus Scotus, "of these pilgrim-monks who left the sweet soil of their native land, its mountains and hills, its valleys and its groves, its rivers and pure fountains, and went like the children of Abraham without hesitation into the land which God had pointed out to them?"
