medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
FWIW, the rubric in the 1961 _Pontificale Romanum_ [unchanged from medieval
practice?] states:
'. . . scribit . . . alphabetum graecum incipiens ab angulo inferiore
sinistro, et alphabetum latinum incipiens ab angulo inferior dextero . . .'
Assuming the main altar in the church is against the East wall, as the
diagram in the _PR_ does, then the Greek letters go from north-west up to
south-east, and the Latin from south-west up to north-east.

That diagram appears to be wrong. It would seem that one alphabet should
run from north-west to south-east, and the other from north-east to
south-west.
