S. Croce, perhaps it had something to do with the chapter house doubling as a
burial chapel.
somewhat difficult to read that, isn't it?
but, the Mindless [frontloaded] Tag Line to posts is, i'm told, necessary, for
some incomprehendable reason.
>Burials of at least abbots were quite common in monastic chapter houses.
is this true in pre-13th c. Benedictine practice, Jim?
i can't recall ever seeing the notice of an abbot's burial in a chapter house
in, say, any obituary notices.
but, come to think of it, i can't think of ever having seen any early written
evidences of "chapter houses" in any sort of source --save for a considerable
number of charters, which are said to have been issued "in capitulum" (which i
don't take to mean exactly the same thing).
did the Cistercian plant their Main Guys in the chapter "house"?
i've seen a few drawerings of tombs in the walls of choirs (there are the
quite nice sculpted [architectural] remains of at least one pre-1150 example
at Pontigny --Hugh of Macon, i believe), but in chapter houses?
