Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... N > St. Nicomedes A B C D ... Z Martyr of unknown era, whose feast is observed 15 September. The Roman Martyrologium and the historical Martyrologies of Bede and his imitators place the feast on this date. The Gregorian Sacramentary contains under the same date the orations for his Mass. The name does not appear in the three oldest and most important MSS. of the "Martyrologium Hieronymianum", but was inserted in later recensions ("Martyrol. Hieronymianum", ed. De Rossi-Duchesne, in Acta SS., Nov., II, 121). The saint is without doubt a martyr of the Roman Church. He was buried in a catacomb on the Via Nomentana near the gate of that name. Three seventh century Itineraries make explicit reference to his grave, and Pope Adrian I restored the church built over it (De Rossi, "Rome Sotterranea", I, 178-79). A titular church of Rome, mentioned in the fifth century, was dedicated to him ( titulus S. Nicomedis ). Nothing is known of the circumstances of his death. The legend of the martyrdom of Sts. Nereus and Achilleus introduces him as a presbyter and places his death at the end of the first century. Other recensions of the martyrdom of St. Nicomedes ascribe the sentence of death to the Emperor Maximianus (beginning of the fourth century).

Extractions: NICOMEDES I., son of Zipoetes, king of Bithynia (c. 278-248 B.C.). He made himself master of the whole country and put to death his brother, who had set himself up as an independent ruler. He enlarged and consolidated the kingdom, founded the great city of Nicomedia as the capital, and fought successfully for some time with Antiochus of Syria. His reign seems to have been prosperous and uneventful; the year of his death is uncertain. Livy xxxviii. 16; Justin xxv. 2; Memnon in C. Miiller, Frag, hist. Graec. iii. 535.

Extractions: Nicomedes Santa Cruz Gamarra Nicomedes Santa Cruz nace el 04 de junio de 1925, en la casa ubicada en Sebastián Gamarra N° 435, distrito de la Victoria en Lima. Su padre fue el dramaturgo Nicomedes Santa Cruz Aparicio (Lima, 1870 - 1957), y su madre Victoria Gamarra Ramírez, también limeña y heredera de riquísima tradición folklórica, hija, a su vez, del notable maestro pintor, escenógrafo y compositor de zamacuecas el Sr. José Milagros Gamarra, y nieta del no menos famoso pintor limeño Demetrio Gamarra. Nicomedes ocupa el noveno lugar entre los diez hijos que tuviera el matrimonio Santa Cruz - Gamarra, y apareció a la vida artística a fines de 1956. Desde entonces alterna sus investigaciones folklóricas e inquietudes poéticas con las labores de periodista y promotor publicitario. Nada de esto alcancé yo. A mi incursión en la décima, tales cuadernos habían caído en manos de deudos sin afición, o habían desaparecido la misma noche del velatorio del viejo decimista, o éste había pedido, como postrer deseo, ser enterrado con su valioso tesoro, tal cual reza la famosa redondilla: Me voy con mi guitarra y mi famoso cuaderno para ver si en los infiernos hay un diablo decimista...

Extractions: NICOMEDES III., Philopator, king of Bithynia, 91-74 B.C., was the son and successor of Nicomedes II. His brother Socrates, assisted by Mithradates, drove him out, but he was reinstated by the Romans (90). He was again expelled by Mithradates, who defeated him on the river Amneus (or Amnias) in Paphlagonia. This led to the first Mithradatic War, as the result of which Nicomedes was again restored (84). At his death he bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans, a legacy which subsequently brought about the third Mithradatic War. Justin xxxvii. 4, xxxviii. I, 2; Appian, Mithrad. 7, IO-2O, 57, 60; Memnon in C. Miiller, Frag. hist. Graec. iii. 541; Plutarch, Sulla, 22, 24; Eutropius vi. 6.

On the morning of the i4th he led his column, 1000 strong, in the attack on the Kashmir gate, and successfully entered the streets of Delhi. But in trying to clear the ramparts as far as the Lahore Gate, he undertook a task beyond the powers of his wearied troops. In encouraging them as they hesitated, he turned his back on the enemy and was shot in the back. The wound was mortal, but his magnificent physique allowed him to linger for nine days before finally succumbing on the 2jrd of September. His best epitaph is found in the words of Sir John Lawrence's Mutiny Report: " Brigadier-General John Nicholson is now beyond human praise and human reward. But so long as British rule shall endure in India, his fame can never perish. He seems especially to have been raised up for this juncture. He crowned a bright, though brief, career by dying of the wound he received in the moment of victory at Delhi. The Chief Commissioner does not hesitate to affirm that without John Nicholson Delhi could not have fallen." See J. L. Trotter, Life of John Nicholson (1904); Sir John Kaye, Lives of Indian Officers (1889); Bosworth Smith, Life of Lord Lawrence (1883); Lady Edwardes, Memorials of Sir Herbert Edwardes (1886); and S. S. Thorburn, Bannu (1876).

Since Apollonius lived from about 262 BC to 190 BC these two pieces of information give a fairly accurate estimate of Nicomedes' dates.

Later he was abbot of Melrose until King William of Scotland appointed him bishop in a remote area over which he wanted to gain more power. As bishop, Adam tried to enforce canon and civil law, including the payment of tithes, which he increased gradually doubled. Of course, this led to a revolt. A mob forced its way into the bishop's house at Halkirke and burnt him and his followers to death. His body, although "roasted with fire and livid with bruises, was found entire under a heap of stones and buried honorably in the church." Thereafter, an unofficial cultus developed (Farmer).

Extractions: Table of Contents Parallels of a conchoid of Nicomedes. Mathematica Notebook for This Page History Description Formulas ... Related Web Sites According to common modern accounts, the conchoid of Nicomedes was first conceived around 200 B.C by Nicomedes, to solve the angle trisection problem. The name conchoid is derived from Greek meaning "shell", as in the word conch. The curve is also known as cochloid. From E. H. Lockwood (1961): The invention of the conchoid ('mussel-shell shaped') is ascribed to Nicomedes (second century B.C.) by Pappus and other classical authors; it was a favourite with the mathematicians of the seventeenth century as a specimen for the new method of analytical geometry and calculus. It could be used (as was the purpose of its invention) to solve the two problems of doubling the cube and of trisecting an angle; and hence for veery cubic or quartic prblem. For this reason, Newton suggested that it would be treated as a 'standard' curve. (*XahNote: Did Nicomedes use the curve to double the cube? Who used the name cochloid and in where?*) Conchoid of Nicomedes describes a family of curves of one parameter. They are special cases of the

La entrevista de Nicomedes, que forma parte del valioso archivo de la Fundación Víctor Jara, nos acerca a la concepción que el autor de "El alma llena de banderas" tenía de su papel como "trabajador de la música", como miembro de "la clase trabajadora que lucha por construir una vida mejor". Nicomedes Santa Cruz: Hay peligros constantes que asedian al creador e intérprete de la canción comprometida, de la canción testimonial. ¿Cómo son sorteados por los protagonistas de esta línea, que coadyuva a la revolución socialista, al cambio de estructuras de los pueblos de Latinoamérica en favor de la clase trabajadora? Víctor Jara: Mira, yo te podría contestar que la canción casi no la defendemos nosotros porque la defiende la propia clase trabajadora. Nosotros nos hicimos como cantantes frente a ellos y con ellos, en los sindicatos, en asentamientos campesinos, dentro de las universidades... Nunca nos hicimos nosotros como cantantes ponte tú en un recital de un teatro o en un programa de televisión. Nos hicimos así. De pronto, fue tal la fuerza que adquirió que empezamos a utilizar los medios de comunicación masiva para hacerla todavía, como la palabra lo dice, más masiva. Entonces, vinieron las censuras, medidas represivas contra nosotros, se nos tildaba de políticos y punto. Pero ha sido tan fuerte y sigue siendo tan fuerte esto que la canción está no la para nadie. Nadie la detiene, como nadie detiene el proceso de cambio que se venir en todo el continente, Nicomedes.
