medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Friends,
I am not sure who wrote the following, but ....... (see below)

I have just acquired a copy on ILL (to whom be praise as well as my cheque)
and for someone as challenged in Latinity as I am, it is an undiluted
blessing. It is also very interesting, gives me a new slant on matters I
already wot of and answers my original question (The Council was at Etampes
but the Pope paid a surprise visit to Morigny which is just up the road and
the abbot who was off site only just got back in time to welcome His
Holiness - the kind of social near-disaster which warms my heart - they had
'em then, too!!!) So many, many thanks for the reference.
However, if the above critic could give me a few hits as to just where the
trans & the notes fall short of perfection (ie are the errors major, central
and critical, or just a matter of an unfashionable point of view and too
small a dictionary) I'd be no end grateful....
And this, dear Gordon, brings the discussion firmly back to med rel for what
is more med rel than a monastic chronicle of the 12th C ?? (:-))
