medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Fr East
A brief note to thank you for your Augustinian reference before you get
submerged in the liturgy. We actually met about this time 8 years ago in
Ampleforth where I had gone to spend the Triduum.
Wishing you the joy of Holy Easter
Sincere thanks
Colmán Ó Clabaigh OSB
