medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am glad for Bonnie's help. She is right on with regard to
the fifth column being for saints. But the scribe is
tricky. He does not simply abbreviate the saints. Take a
look at February: we have Brigit, Purification, and Blasus.
But Blasus extends into the fourth of February Bla-sus.
Also, note how Scholastica runs from February 10th through
13th. Sco-las-ti-ca
January is more difficult. Saint John runs from the third
to the fifth of January. io-ia-nes. however the word "ven-
di-cat" runs from the 10th to the 12th. The question is
what appears between the 6th and 9th, as they do not seem to
start other saint's names. Any help?
The sixth column might refer back to the matyr days. I am
not sure about this and would like to have another opinion.
The third column still confuses me. It does not correspond
to epects, as I thought. The text at the bottom seems to
say "hore ?" Given that the next table has the text ""Ista
tabula incipit a meridie" I am confused to what hours of the
day they might be referring to.
