medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Where is a good place to start reading about the definition and duties
of Cathedral Canons, particularly in late medieval England?
Can anyone enlighten me on what "canon bread" might be? It seems to
have been given, on a daily basis, to a former fifteenth-century mayor
of Exeter for over a decade by the city itself (it is recorded in their
expense accounts). So there is no indication that it had a religious
function, except for its name. Any clues?
Thanks, Melissa Raine
