medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Leah Rutchick <[log in to unmask]>
> Seems I missed a few e-mails (too many)--Rupin is of course a primary (19th
C) source for Moissac history,
as a 19th c. author, he would be a "primary source" only for events in the
19th c. history of the place which he, personally, witnessed (e.g., the
attempt to run the train through the cloister).
he's a secondary (or tertiary, or worse) source for the medieval history of
the abbey.
>but with a grain of salt.
well, most 19th c. secondary sources require a good quantity of salt near to
hand for proper savoring.
>If you happen to have the page # in Rupin. . .
i've made inquiries and will pass on any info i acquire.
however, the reference to the primary source ("Biblioth. Cluniac. ad lib,II,
p. 165") is dispositive here, seems to me.
unless we're interested in 19th c. historiography.
btw, even though i believe i once had (and sold) a copy of it, i'm having
trouble figuring out the exact title of this "Bibliothèque Cluniac." --can
someone give me a hand with it?
