medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
These capitals all sound like Old Testament references. The ram's horn
[if that is what the capital shows] was blown for the beginning & end of
the Sabbath, as well as for other events. You would have here the Book
of the Law, the shofar, & the temple sacrifice. Do you have adjacent
capitals that might add to this, or contrasting NT capitals?
