medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The common offices, and common masses are:
BVM
Apostles
Popes
Martyrs including one, several, bishop
Confessors including bishops, doctors, abbots
Virgins, including martyrs
Holy Women, including martyr
Dedication of a church
They are used to supplement the proper texts for any saint's or other feast day. Typically only the collect and hagiographical reading were proper for any particular day

Esteemed list,
I am currently, and with some excitement, reading Andre Vauchez's
book, Sainthood in the Later Middle Ages, in which he mentions, in
passing, offices of martyrs, of confessors, and of virgins. Can
anyone enlighten me on whether there are other such collective
offices of the saints and when such offices would be used?
Many thanks in advance.
Jim Bugslag
