Hohenburg or Odilienberg, an old, celebrated monastery on the Rhine, is said to have been founded by duke Ethicot, whose daughter Odilia was the first abbess. She is supposed to have died in 720. This monastery was celebrated for many years for the great learning of its inmates and the encouragement which it gave to all who devoted themselves to literary labors. About 1429, this, as well as the monastery at the foot of the hill, said to have been founded by Odilia, in or- der to save weary travellers the task of ascending the momit, was closed. One of the works published by an abbess of this monastery (Herrad, 1167), Hortus delicia- rum, in Latin, contains contributions to Biblical history and to the entire field of theology.

Hohenlohe, Alexandeh Leopold Franz Em- MEKU II. prince (if. a Hungarian Roman Catholic bishop, was born near Waldenburg Aug. 17, 1794. His mother, baroness Judith de Reviczky, destined him for the cler- ical life, and after studying at the Academy of Berne, and the seminaries of Vienna, Tyrnau, and Elwangen, he was ordained priest in 1816. In the same year he made a journey to Rome, where he associated much with Jesuits, and finally joined their Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 1819 he returned to Germany, and- settled in Bavaria, where his birth and fortune soon pro- cured for him a high position. His reputation is chief- ly due to his pretended power to ciu-e diseases in a mi- raculous way. He is said to have made cures in the hospitals of Wiirzburg and Bamberg. But the authori- ties at last interfered, and even the pope himself advLscd Hohenlohe to abstain from these pretensions, and the prince finally left Bavaria for Vienna. He next went to Hungary, and was made bishop in partihns of Sardica in 1844, and abbot of the convent of St. Michael of Ga- bojan. During the Revolution of 1848 he was driven from Hungary, and he -went to Innspruck, where the emperor of Austria then resided. In Oct. 1849, he went to Vienna to visit his nephew, count Fries, who had just decided to become a priest. He died at his house Nov. 17, 1849. The renown which Hohenlohe gained by his cures was not confined to his own country', but extended to England, Ireland, and even to our country, where the case of Sirs. Ann INIattingly, of Washington, D. C, who was said to have miraculously recovered of a tumor, jNIarch 10, 1824, in consequence of his prayers, caused considerable excitement. The prince ceased these prac- tices many j-ears before his death, at least publicly. Va- rious theories have been propounded to account for the cures attributed to him : the most rational is that which assigns them to the power of the imagination over so- called nervous disorders. His principal works are Per im Geiste der kathol. Ki/rtie betende Christ (Bamberg, 1819 ; 3d edit. Lpz. 1824) -.—Des lathoKtchen Priesters BervfWib-de u.Pflicht (Bamb. 1821) -.— Was ist d. Zeit- geist (Bamberg, 1821), an attempt to show that none but a good Roman Catholic can be a good and loyal citizen, addressed to Francis of Austria and Alexander of Rus- sia -.--Die Wanderschaft einer Gott suchemkn Seek, etc. (Vienna, 1830) •.—Lich'tblicke und Ergehiisse aus d. Welt ri. demPriesterleben{Ra.mhox\,\»i(i); a number of sermons, etc. His posthumous works were published by Bruiiner (Ratisbon, 1851). See Paulus, U'undercuren z. Wiirfzb. u. Bamb. unternommen durch.
