medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Although some are less taken
with the verses said to have been carved on the sarcophagus (in the text
called a _sepulcrum_), these too have their moments, esp. the final lines:
Membra dedit Reginniculis, animamque Tonanti.
Hinc Christi inter odoriferas depascitur aulas.
("Her body she gave to the people of Minori and her soul to God.
Henceforth she is nourished in Christ's odoriferous halls.")
ODIFEROUS ??? This suggest (in English English) something pongy like a
privy. Would not FRAGRANT be better since it is used both for perfume and
for good cooking ??
Just being pedantic!!
