medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Terrill, A very long-lived fellow indeed if still in office in 1608. And
do you have a source for this French version? There's a Latin one in
Caesarius of Heisterbach's closely contemporary _Dialogus miraculorum_,
dist. 5, cap. 21. But that's put in the mouth of a character in a dialogue
and is preceded by the distancing formula "fertur dixisse", leading one to
suppose that Caesarius (who is ordinarily concerned to indicate the
relative reliability of his sources) is not vouching for the accuracy of
this particular piece of reported discourse. Best, John Dillon
