medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I would be grateful to know if anyone has an idea of how commonly
names with the form "X [christian name] of [town/village] Y" are found
when documents or other references are already being signed/written in
town Y, or those signing or being referred to are already explicitly
from town Y. I'm particularly interested in twelfth and
thirteenth-century clerics.
Sorry to have confused anyone with my foolish (and hypercorrected)
reference to Teresa of the child Jesus. I constantly confuse them,
when they couldn't be more different. I suppose I should always follow
the basic principle of always google before you post. (To paraphrase
Sta Teresa de Avila, to post well you have to sleep well and eat
well).
The MHRA style guide (available at
http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/download.shtml),
as well as being packed full of excellent advice, also has a section
(pp. 51-2) on referencing web resources (webpages, online articles,
databases, and 'other sources'). It also insists on < and > together
with the date consulted. As you can see from the above, I am not
convinced, and really think that including http:// is de trop when the
address begins with the triple double-u's.
