medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Terrence,
I don't know if it is part of a larger series, but researching an
earlier sermon of St Augustine this spring (no. 231) I came across John
E. Rotelle, ed., Edmund Hill, trans., The Works of St Augustine: A
Translation for the 21st Century. Sermons III/7 (230-272B) on the
Liturgical Seasons (New Rochelle, NY: New City Press, 1993). I can't
vouch, though, for how authoritative this book (or series) might be.
Cheers,
Jim
