(Concilium Burgense). Burgos is the capital of Old Castile, in Spain. Two councils were held here.

II. Held in 1136, by Guy, cardinal and legate, who was sent into Spain to facilitate the introduction of the Roman office, and to effect a reconciliation between the kings of Navarre and Castile, who were at war.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry.
