medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In _Historia Calamitatum_ Abelard says he himself dressed
Heloise -except for the veil- (excepto velo, aptari feci et his eam indui)
when she went to Argenteuil some time after they had got married.
Does anyone know what exactly he meant by 'I dressed her'?
Did he 'actually' put the habit on her? Or was it just an expression?
I would like to know what the vesting ceremony was like.
Best,
Christina
