Mumpsimus is a nickname given to persons ob- stinate in religious matters; used by Henry VIII in Parliament, and founded on a story, related by Pace, of a priest who refused to abandon the practice of saying "quod ore mumpsimus," on the plea that he could not give up the usage of thirty years for any correction. — Walcott, Sac. Archceology, p. 394.

Munden, Christian, a German Lutheran divine, was born at Burg, on the isle of Femern, Aug. 13, 1G84. He was educated at the gymnasium at Liibeck ; enter- ed in 1701 the University of Kiel, Avhere he studied theology, and returned home in 1704; but his desire for knowledge carried him in June, 1705, to Leipsic, where he was permitted to lecture. A rumor that Saxony might Ijecome the scat of war between Sweden and Poland drove him finally to Hanover, and he was appointed in 1708 teacher of Greek and Latin at the Gymnasium of Gottingen. Li 1716 he got a position as pastor of the St. Nicholas Church in (iiittingen. Li 172.5 he was appointed licentiate of theology at the University of Helmstiidt, and in 1727 was made professor of theology at that high school. In 17.31 he was called to the pastor- ate of the '• Barfiisscr Kirche" in Frankfort-on- the-Jfain, and there he died, Aug. 9, 1741. He greatly distinguished himself as a pulpit crator, but made many enemies by his oppo

Munger, Philip, a minister of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, was born in South Brimfield, Mass., in 1780 ; was converted in 179G ; entered the New England Conference in 1802 ; preached in the itinerancy thirty- four years; from 1836 to 1846 was either supernumerary or superannuated, and died Oct. 19, 1846. He was a man of energy and method, verj' studious, and a gifted and successful preacher. He preached more than nine thou- sand sermons, and wrote considerably for the Church lit- erature. He was for many years an active trustee of the Maine Conference Seminary ; and as a man, Christian, and minister was in all respects verj' exemplary and useful.

Munich Manuscript (Codex Monacensis, de- signated as X of the Gospels) is a valuable folio MS. of the end of the 9th or early in the 10th century, con- taining the four Gospels, with serious defects, and a commentary (chieHy from Chrj-sostom), surrounding and interspersed with the text of all but Mark, in early cursive letter. The very elegant uncials are small and upright; though some of them are compressed, they seem to be partial imitations of very early copies. Each page has two columns of about 45 lines each. Tliere are no divisions by titXoi or sections. The ink of the IMS. has much faded, and its general condition is bad. From a memorandum in the beginning we find that it came from Rome to Ingolsttidt, and that it was at Inns- pruck in 1757 ; from Ingolstiidt it was taken to Lands- hut, thence to Munich. Gricsbach obtained some ex- tracts from it through Dobrowsky ; Scholz first collated it, Tischendorf more thoroughly, and Tregelles com- pletely.— Scrivener, Inti'od. to X. T. p. 118 sq. ; Tregel- les, in Home's Introd. iv, 195 sq. See Maxcsckipts, Biblical.
