medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Actually, that initial I is a J, and the word comes down into modern English as "jollity."
Desmond, you should know that there's a vast and enormously useful Middle English Dictionary on-line at <http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/m/med/>. To use it, sometimes you have to experiment with alternate spellings, but it does have an entry for "cairen"-- and no doubt for "iolite" or "jolite" as well.
