Anglo-Saxon Ver- sions of the Holy Scriptures. No trans- lation of the entire Bible was made into the lan- guage of the Anglo-Sax- ons; although the sub- stance of the Bible his- tory was fragmentarily thrown into verse by the bards, especially Caed- mon (Metrical Paraphrase of Parts of the Holy Scrip- tures in Anglo-Saxon, with an English translation, notes, etc. hy Benjamin Thorpe, Lond" 1832, 8vo).

MS. remains. It is reported that King Alfred was also engaged at the time of his death on a translation of the Psalms (William of Malmesbury, De Gest. Reg. Angl. p. 44, E. T. p. 121, ed. Bohn), and other parts of the Bible are said also to have been translated by him. There are other versions of the Psalms in Anglo-Saxon extant fh MS. An edition of the Four Gospels was printed at London in 1571, in 4to, with an English translation ; it was edited by Archbishop Parker, with a preface by John Fox, the martyrologist. This edi- tion was reprinted by Dr. Marshall, with improvements from the collation of several MSS. by Fr. Junius, Jr. (Dort, 1665, 4to ; reissued with a new title-page, Amst. 1684). The best edition of the Gospels is that of Thorpe (London, 1842, 12mo). ^Elfric's Heptateuch and Job were published by Thwaites (Oxford, 1699, 8vo). Two editions of the Anglo-Saxon Psalter have been issued: the former bv Spelman (London, 1(540, 4to) ; the latter by Thorpe (Oxford, 1835, 4to). Mill made use of the Anglo-Saxon versions for critical pur- poses in his edition of the Greek Testament. Critics are divided as to their value in this respect. Tischen- dorf has, however, made use of them in his edition (see his Prolegomena, p. 255, ed. 1859). — Kitto, s. v. See Versions (of the Bible).
Anglus, Thomas, a Roman Catholic theologian of the 17th century, was born in England. He was for some time principal of the English College at Lisbon, and assistant principal of the English College at Uouai. He lived for a lont; time at Rome and Paris, defended the peripatetic philosophy against Descartes, tried to develop the theological doctrines of freedom and grace from Aristotelian principles, and was involved in a controversy with the Molinists (q. v.) and the Jansen- ists. He wrote a number of mystical books, most of which have been put into the Index. His principal works are : Be mundo (Paris, 1642) ; Institutiones peri- patetics (Lyons, 1646) ; Institutiones tlieologicee (1652). He assumed sometimes the names Candidus, Albius, Bianchi, and Richworth, but his true name seems to have been White. — Biog. Britannica, s. v. ; Bayle.
Angola, a country on the western coast of Africa. It was discovered in 1486 by the Portuguese, who soon after began to form settlements on the river Congo and at various points south of that river. The}' still have a number of forts and commercial establishments at different places, in some instances extending many hundreds of miles into the interior, where the Portu- guese colonists and natives meet for the purpose of trading. The Portuguese claim dominion over a pop- ulation of about 360,000 souls. Toward the middle of the 16th century the diocese of Angola was establish- ed, and a large number of the inhabitants nominally received into the Roman Catholic Church ; but with the decline of the Portuguese, also the hold which the church had of the native population became weaker. A large portion of them, however, are desirous to be regarded as members of the Roman Catholic Church, although in 1857 there were only six priests for all Angola. The Roman Catholic population may be es- timated at about 100,000 souls. — Schem, Ecclesiastical Y, vr-book for 1859, p. 21. See Africa.
Anhalt, the name of a German duchy. At the beginning of the present century there were three duchies of Anhalt, denominated Anhalt-Dessau, An- balt-Bernburg, and Anhalt-Koethen. The line of the reigning family in Anhalt-Koethen became extinct in 1847, and that of Anhalt-Bernburg in 1863, and thus the whole of Anhalt was united under one prince. The area of Anhalt is 1017 square miles. The popu- lation amounted, in 186-1, to 193,046, of whom about 2000 are Roman Catholics and an equal number Jews; the remainder belong to the Protestant State Church, which has superintendents at Dessau and Bernburg, and about 150 ministers. Anhalt was one of the first German states which joined the Reformation,
