Month. RAI-IIAKI. SAXZIO CAVALIERE, a 

 famous engraver, was liorn at Naples, June 19, 

 1758. His first instructor was his father, a mediocre 

 engraver of Herman origin. But he gave such 

 indications of talent that at the age of twenty he 

 was sent to Rome to study under Volnato, then 

 considered the l>est engraver in Italy, whose 

 daughter he married in 1781. His progress 

 was very marked, and even his lirst works 

 obtained' great success. Raphael's celebrated 

 figures in the Vatican of 'Poetry' and "Theology 

 were engraved by him in 1781 : and he afterwards 

 produced a succession of engravings of a very high 

 class from many of the masterpieces of art: 

 amongst these may be mentioned Raphael s 

 'Madonna della Seggiola ' and the ' Transfigura- 

 tion ' the 'Madonna del Sacco,' by Andrea del 

 Sarto; the 'Duke of Moncado,' by Van Dyek ; 

 and by his burin, Ha Vinci's ' Lost Supper, not- 

 withstanding its decay, has been rendered with 

 such consummate skill as to lessen the regret felt 

 for the evanescent condition of the original work. 

 He accepted an invitation from the grand duke to 

 reside at Florence, with a pension of 400 scudi and 

 a free residence, under condition of establishing a 

 school of engraving ; and he received marked atten- 

 tions from the Emperor Na|>oleon, to whom in 181 1 

 he dedicated his engraving from the ' Transhgura 

 tion,' the grand result of sixteen years of lalmur. 

 I!.- di.-d at Florence. April 8, 1833. His Life, with a 

 portrait and catalogue of his works to the numlier 

 of 254, was published by his pupil, Hteeolo 

 Palmarino. The works of Morghen will always 

 hold a very prominent place in the history of 

 Engraving (q.v.). See Fred. R. Halsey, Raphael 

 Morghen', Engraved Wot<New York, 1885). 



Morgue, a building in Paris, just behind the 



cathedral of Notre Dame, where the dead bodies 



of persons unknown, found either in the river 



,ne| or ill the stn-ets, are excised to public 



\i.-w for three days. The corpses are put under a 



glass case, on sloping slalis of marble. When a 



corpse is identified, it is handed over to the 



relatives or friends of the deceased, on payment 



of costs and dues; otherwise it is interred at the 



expense of the city. The numlier of bodies yearly 



exposed in the Morgue is alxmt 300, of which live 



sixths are those of males. There are morgues in 



Berlin, and in Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Phil*- 



d.-lphia, Chicago, and other American towns.

MorinilB. Jean Morin, a French theologian 

 i l.V.il HWiil), wrote on ecclesiastical antiiiuiti---. 

 and ranks as one of the founders of biblical eriti 

 cism mainly in virtue of his editions and notes on 

 the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Targiim (in the 

 I'aiis I'ohglotli. and his BMrettottOMf on the 

 Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible.

MoHsCOS. Moriscos is the name usually 

 iven to the Moors who remained in Spain after 

 the taking of Cranada in 1492; Mozarabrs or 

 Muzarabes, to the Christian Spaniards who lived 

 in the parts of Spain under Moorish rule; Mud.- 

 iares, to the Moors who submitted to the Christians 

 in the earlier periods of the re-conquest. 



To take first the .!/<.. /.(/. v. Christianity w a- 

 freely, if contemptuously, tolerated under the 

 Moorish rule. Occasional outbursts of fanaticism 

 used to take place. These were often provoked 

 by Christians defiantly seeking martyrdom, as in 

 Cordova in the 9th century ; this persecution lasted 

 intermittently till 953, when it well nigh ceased 

 The Mo/arabes kept their ancient liturgy, though 

 many of them had ceased to understand Latin, and 

 spoke and wrote Arabic only, writing even Latin 

 and Spanish with Arabic characters. They occa- 

 sionally held councils, but indill'erc prevailed 



and tlie Spanish conquerors were more astonished 

 at the laxity of the MozaraheH than at their con- 

 stancy in retaining their old faith. For Mozarabic 

 liturgy, see LITTRUV. 



Miit/r/nrrjt. --Moorish names appear first in t 

 !(th eeiitury as inhabitants of the country, and 

 witnesses to documents, under Spanish rule. One 

 of the earliest capitulations or fueros granted to 

 them is that of Huesea ( 1081 ) ; by this and subse- 

 quent fueros (Tudela, 1115, &c.) the widest tolera- 

 tion was extended to them ; they were allowed I 

 exercise of their religion, laws, language, dress, 

 and customs. The fuero of Jativa granted by 

 Jaime I. of Aragon (1251) even provides that it 

 anv Saracen should become a Christian he shoul.I 

 lose his landed propcM'tv ; that of Siliebar, near 

 Si-Mile i l-.'.Vii, allows them to build a castle for 

 their defence. These capitulations s.-.-m to have 

 been fairly observed till the 14th century, when a 

 ,-han-e of tone becomes apparent. In 13<>l 

 Moore of Aragon were compelled to wear a distinc- 

 tive dress, and in the next century their privileges 

 were greatly curtailed ; recantation was forced 

 upon them. ' The Mudejares of Aragon, Valencia, 

 and Castile had hitherto been faithful, had served 

 loyally in war even against Moon, had taken tl 

 roVal side in all |M>puiar movement* ; even a* late 

 as' 1528 they appealed to their well -proved loyalty 

 to the crown. 



But their situation was greatly impaired by tl 

 incorporation among them of the Mortxciu, after 

 the fall of GnUM ilf',12). The terms of the 

 capitulation of Cranada were to the full a.s lilic 

 as those under which the Mud.-jaics had lived 

 loyally in Aragon, Valencia, and Castile for three 

 or four centuries 1'nder Talavera, the first Arch- 

 bishop of Cranada, some attempt was made to 

 ohscive these conditions, and with happy results 

 But I he bigotiy of Cardinal Nil... -n.-s. violating the 

 capitulation, led to a rising in the Alpuxarras 

 I (1500-2) and to the expulsion of the Moriscos of 

 I Castile and Leon; though in 1503 and in 1510
