medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Near the end of the EETS (46) Legends of the Holy Rood (ed. Morris) I seem
to remember various short Middle English prayers to each of the instruments
of the Passion. I think there was a four- or five-line prayer to the Crown
of Thorns. I'm guessing there must be others from England's latter middle
ages, but this is one reference that easily comes to my mind.
Best,
Karolyn
