emen" (in the Lucerne gallery); and "A Farm" (1875). From
1876 to 1885 Bocklin was working at Florence, and painted a "Pieta,"
"Ulysses and Calypso," "Prometheus," and the "Sacred Grove." From 1886
to 1892 he settled at Zurich. Of this period are the "Naiads at Play,"
"A Sea Idyll," and "War." After 1892 Bocklin resided at San Domenico,
near Florence. An exhibition of his collected works was held at Basel
from the 20th of September to the 24th of October 1897. He died on the
16th of January 1901.

BOCLAND, BOCKLAND or BOOKLAND (from A.S. _boc_, book), an original mode
of tenure of land, also called charter-land or deed-land. Bocland was
folk-land granted to individuals in private ownership by a document
(charter or book) in writing, with the signatures of the king and
witenagemot; at first it was rarely, if ever, held by laymen, except for
religious purposes. Bocland to a certain extent resembled full ownership
in the modern sense, in that the owner could grant it in his lifetime,
in the same manner as he had received it, by _boc_ or book, and also
dispose of it by will. (See also FOLKLAND.)

BOCSKAY, STEPHEN [ISTVAN] (1557-1606), prince of Transylvania, the most
eminent member of the ancient Bocskay family, son of Gyorgy Bocskay and
Krisztina Sulyok, was born at Kolozsvar, Hungary. As the chief
councillor of Prince Zsigmond Bathory, he advised his sovereign to
contract an alliance with the emperor instead of holding to the Turk,
and rendered important diplomatic services on frequent missions to
Prague and Vienna. The enmity towards him of the later Bathory princes
of Transylvania, who confiscated his estates, drove him to seek

Rudolph II. to deprive Hungary of her constitution and the Protestants
of their religious liberties speedily alienated Bocskay, especially
after the terrible outrages inflicted on the Transylvanians by the
imperial generals Basta and Belgiojoso from 1602 to 1604. Bocskay, to
save the independence of Transylvania, assisted the Turks; and in 1605,
as a reward for his part in driving Basta out of
