JAMES, SPURIOUS WRITINGS OF.— The foUow- ing pseudepigraphal works have been attributed to the apostle James: 1. The Proiermu/elium. 2. Historia de Naiivitate Maria. 3. De minir/iHf h/Jaii/iw Domini nostri, etc. Of these, the J'n>ii niii>/i lii/u/. is worth a passing notice, not for its coiittnt.-., uliirli are a mere parody on the early chapters of Luko, transferring the events which occurred at our Lord's birth to the birth of Mary his mother, but because it appears to have been early known in the Church. It is possible that Jus- tin Martyr (Dinl cum Tryph. c. Ixxviii) and Clement of Alexandria {Stroinata, lib. viii) refer to it. Origen spealcs of it (in Matt, xiii, 55) ; Gregory Nyssen {0pp. p. 346, ecUt. Paris), Epiphanius (Hm: Lxxix), John Da- mascene (Orat. i, ii, in Nuiic. Mari(e), Pliotius {Orat. in Ncitii'. Marice), and others, allude to it. It was first published in Latin, in 1552, in Greek in 1504. The old- est MS. of it now existing is of the 10th century. (See Thilo's Codex Apocryphus Novi Testamenti, i, 45, 108, 159, 337, Lips. 1852.)— Smith. See Apocrypha.
James, St. (of Compostella), CHURCH OF, a very famous church in Spain, dedicated to St. James Major, the patron saint of the kingdom. A wooden bust of the saint, Avith tapers ever burning before it, has stood on the high altar for nine hundred years, and the church is the resort of numerous pilgrims, who kiss the imago. Miracles are ascribed to St. James, such as appearing on a white horse defeating the Moors. — Eadie, Eccles. Diet. s. v. See Cojipostella.
James's, St., DAY, is a festival in some churches, falling in the Western churches on the 25th of July, and in the Eastern on the 23d of October, and commem- orating St. James the Elder, son of Zebedec, and brother of St. John. No trace of this festival at an early period can be found in any country but Spain. James was the first of the apostles that suffered martyrdom. This par- ticular day was chosen for the commemoration, not with reference to the date of the apostle's death, which took place probably a little before Easter, but in connection with the legend of a miraculous translation of the reUc of the apostle from Palestine to Compostella, in Spain.
