Oomillon, .\ubf.v of, foun<leii by .\lbero. Bishop of
Ljige, in 1124, three years after St. Norbert had
onned the PremonstrateiLsian Order. The abbey
was intended for Canons Regular of Prdmontr^ who
had been sent from the Abbey of Floreffe near Namur;
it stood on the right bank of the Meuse on an elevation
called Mont Cornillon which overlooked the city of
Liege. In the early years of the order all Norbertine
abbeys were double abbeys, that is to say, the canons
lived on one side of the church and the Norbertine
nuns, who had charge of the hospital for women,
dwelt on the other side. Where an abbey stood on an
elevation, as was the case at Cornillon, both the nun-
nery and the hospital were erected at the foot of the
hill. St. Juliana of Cornillon (b. 1193; d. 1258),
whose name is connected with the institution of the
feast of Corpus Christi, was a nun of this convent.
The first abbot of Cornillon was Blessed Lucas, one of
St. Norbert 's disciples, a learned and holy religious,
some of whose writings have been published in the
"Bibliotheca Magna Patrum", and also by Migne.
The Bishop of Liege, wishing to build a fortress on the
heights of Cornillon, gave in 1288, in exchange to the
Norbertine canons, another place in his episcopal city
where the abbey, now called Beaurepart (Bellus Redi-
tus), stood until it was suppressed by the French Re-
public in 1796. All the religious refu.sed to take the
oath of allegiance to the Republic ; some were exiled
and one was put to death. The abbey was declared
to be of public utility, consequently it was not sold;
for a time it served as an arsenal and for other govern-
ment purposes, but by decree of 11 June, 1809, Napo-
leon gave the abbey to the Bishop of Liege, as the
bishop's residence and diocesan seminary. Where
the Abbey of Mont Cornillon originally stood the
Little Sisters of the Poor have erected a home for old
people, and close to the home, but below, at the foot of
the hill, the former convent is now inhabited by Car-
melite nuns. Part of the church of the nuns has re-
mained as it was when St. Juliana of Cornillon prayed
in it and was favoured with visions which led to the
institution of the feast of Corpus Christi.

Cornoldi, Giovanni Maria, professor, author, and preacher, born at Venice, 29 Sept., 1822; d. at Rome, 18 Jan., 1892. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1840 and taught philosophy at Bressanone and Padua for many ye.ars. From 1880 until his death he be- longed to the editorial staff of the "Civilta Cattolica", at Rome and often preachetl at the church of the Gesii. He was an ardent disciple of St. Thomas and wrote many works in explanation of his doctrine and in refu- tation of Rosniinianism. His "Lezioni di Filosofia" (Rome, 1872) was translated into Latin by Cardinal Agostini under the title " Institutiones Philosophies ad mentem divi Thoms Aquinatis". In addition to his purely philosophical writings he published a com- mentary on the " Divina Commedia ' of Dante, illus- trated from philosophy and theology. He founded academies in honour of St. Thomas at Bologna and at Rome and established two periodicals, " La Scienza Italiana" and the journal of the "Accademia di S. Tomma.so". He was a man of great amiability, zeal- ous and fervent in religious life.
