>Sounds like pilgrimages to Spain were more common than to Jerusalem, because
blessings for the latter are added almost as an afterthought.

>My question is about the "Oratio ad dandam crucem ante altare his qui cupiunt
pergere ad Ispaniam."
>(The ms is Avignon BM 178; see Leroquais I: 254-256).
what's the ms.'s date/provenance?
if later 11th-early 12th c. & Cluniac, the reference to Spain would certainly
make sense, the order being quite active in the Reconquesta.
doesn't help with your real question, re the intended audience/recipients of
blessing were monks or laid.
