Dear All,
At the risk of being 'true to my school' and also embarrassing Beth
Williamson, I am delighted to say that Beth presented a spectacular
paper last week at a half day conference she organized here at the
University of Bristol, Centre for Medieval Studies. The paper title was
Simone Martini's frescoes for Cardinal Stefaneschi at the cathedral in
Avignon? Any hope of publishing this in the near future Beth?
Getting back to your question, have you looked at the actual sermon by
Pierre Roger which he preached at the funeral? I think you can find a
reference to it in J-B, Schneyer, Repertorium der lateinischen
sermones des mittelalters, vol. 4, p. 758.
Yours ever,
Carolyn
