medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
on your next visit, you could razor
blade out a few choice folios of the Old English Hexateuch (Cotton, Claudius
B. iv):
that would only take a few seconds, i should think.
Chris,
DEEPLY as I esteem you, I am not prepared to run before you into hell.
You are speaking to a (retired) librarian!
I know some booksellers have disbound books to sell the plates - and I avert
my eyes in horror.
I have had to acquire books on loan, photocopy the plates and have these
tipped in to the library's mutilated copy.
I have been heard in my cups to declare that the said razor should be used
to excise the thumbs of the perpetrators - without benefit of anaesthetic.
Per - lease!!!
failing to acquire leaves of the OEH, though i doubt if he has anything
unusual to say about him, if you find yourself in the presence of Henriquez
again, please remember Bernie's little Henry
> Prince Henry of France, son of Louis the Fat, younger bro. of Louis the
> Kid,
converted to Clairvaux by Bernie in 1146; after three years became Bishop of
Beauvais, then AB of Reims till his death in the early '70s, whose quite
extensive correspondance with Alex 3 survives in a single late c. 12
manuscript which i'm playing with the idea may have been assembled with a
view
to trying him out for Sainthood Status, so he might just have made it into a
Menologionist-type collection.
I will certainly make a note to check this: do you have a date of
(commemoration of) death ? While there IS an index to the Monologion, it is
SERIOUSLY UNRELIABLE even in the few items I checked. And "Henry" is a not
uncommon name.
Was he declared "Blessed" at any time ?
