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 (U()4-6()). 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
