Among the books he translated or edited were The Handbook, a collection of extracts on religious subjects; The Cura Pastoralis, or Herdsman's book of Gregory the Great, with a preface by himself which is the first English prose; Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English; The English Chronicle, which, already brought up to 855, he continued up to the date of writing; it is probably by his own hand; Orosius's History of the World, which he adapted for English readers with many historical and geographical additions; the De Consolatione Philosophiæ of Boethius; and a translation of some of the Psalms.
In the evening, we called on Padre Sanchez, well known for his study of the native languages, and the works he had written regarding them. He is a large man, well-built, of attractive appearance, and of genial manner. He has been cura in various indian towns among the Chamulas, and he loves the indians, and is regarded as a friend by them.
The shadow of each tree in succession fell upon a low stone cross set on the ground before the door at each successive hour of the twelve; a fantasy of some holy man long dead. The chapel door stood open and just within it a priest in his short white surplice awaited their arrival. Juanita recognised the sunburnt old cura of Torre Garda.
* Pulgar, part 3, cap. 124; Garibay, lib. 40, cap. 40; Cura de los Palacios. Evil tidings never fail by the way through lack of messengers: they are wafted on the wings of the wind, and it is as if the very birds of the air would bear them to the ear of the unfortunate.
Mines of gold and silver were worked at the beginning of the conquest at Buria, near Barquesimeto, in the province of Los Mariches, at Baruta, on the south of Caracas, and at Real de Santa Barbara near the Villa de Cura. Grains of gold are found in the whole mountainous territory between Rio Yaracuy, the Villa de San Felipe and Nirgua, as well as between Guigue and Los Moros de San Juan.
Write that in your book, my daughter, 'tis a golden precept! Nor be appalled at your suitor's poverty. Cyprian saith: 'Paupertas dura sed secura et sine cura' Poverty is hard, but hardy, and has naught to care for. Write that down also, my daughter Michal!" But pretty Michal did not record these golden maxims, either in the original or yet a translation.
The rock of ages—and the aged man—landmarks of her youth. Then the mules started walking smartly forward, with the three peasants striding alongside of them, and vanished between the trees. These fellows were most likely sent out by her uncle the Cura.
Tenentibus plerisque. Though many still retained, i.e. did not lay down their arms. Propius. Al. proprius. But that is purely conjectural. Adv. for adj., cf. ultra, 8; longe, 6==propior, like the propior cura of Ovid. Metamor. 13, 578. Render: a more urgent fear. Some would connect propius with agitabat notwithstanding its remote position. Suae quoque.
The sacristan was looking on with doubt: when he saw us making preparations for the picture, he hurried to us and said it was against all rule for anyone to take a photograph when the cura was not present. We told him our time was short; that we must return to Patzcuaro that day to arrange our farther journey; we showed the governor's order and Padre Ponce's letter, but all in vain.
