medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This past Tuesday's _lectio altera_ in the Liturgia Horarum was taken 'E
Doctrinis S. Dorothei Abbatis.' Given the tone and content of the reading, I
would assume that this is the same Dorotheus? No doubt there is some
obvious place to look to confirm that, but none come to mind. I would be
grateful for any pointers toward such a confirmation.
