medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks for the Bultmann.
FWIW, I remember "Good King Sauerkraut" as follows:
Good King Sauerkraut look out!
on your feets uneven.
Wenceslas lay round about,
eight nine ten eleeven! [probably with extra spacing among the inner
letters of "eleeven"]
But a quick check of Google shows that this is indeed now an open text.
Best again,
John
(maintaining the modern reception of a famous medieval saint is perhaps
not entirely out of scope for this list)
