medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I just ran across the following, which I thought might be of interest, from an Icelandic ms. dated 1500-1550. It looks to me a bit too basic to be worth searching for analogs, but if anyone can suggest any (or perhaps a particular kind of picture of St. Anne that might have been associated with the prayer) I´d love to hear about it.
Pope Alexander the sixth gave all those who recite the following prayer three times in front of a picture of St. Anne, piously on their knees, twenty thousand years' indulgence for deadly sins and thirty thousand for venial sins. The above-named pope confirmed that indulgence in the church of St. Mary major in Rome.
Ave maria gratia plena dominus tecum. Tua gratia sit mecum. benedicta tu in mulieribus. et benedicta sit Anna mater tua dequa sine macula. processisti uirgo Maria exte enim natus est ihesus christus filius dei. Amen.
(the prayer is also given in Icelandic, but it says the same as the Latin.) published in
Bekker-Nielsen, Hans. 1961. "En islandsk afladsbøn." in Opuscula II, 1 Copenhagen: Ejnar Munksgaard, 63-64.

I'd just like to thank everyone for much more than I ever expected from my query about
medieval chaos. As usual, my cup runneth over!
Cheers,
Jim
