medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Tuija !
My guess is that this is simply the prayer known as the "Ave Maria".

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In his 'Sermo in synodo' (c.1239) Robert Grosseteste adviced his priests
to make sure that each parishener knows their 'Oratio Dominica',
'Symbolum' and 'Salutatio beatae Virginis'. While I assume the first two
to be the Lord's Prayer and the Creed (supposedly the minor for
parishoners? priests are explicitly told to know both the minor and the
major), I am uncertain as what the last is. Could it be the prayer
ascribed to Franciscus of Assisi (Salutatio beatae Mariae Virginis) that
could already such a common prayer in England, or is this some other
prayer?
My interst is primarily in teaching Latin to undergrads of theology, and
to give a little bit history/theology on the side. I still would like to
remain historically accurate, so I am wondering that if I give the
prayer associated to Franciscus in this context from Grosseteste, will I
do historical injustice to England in 1239? Is there any dating
available for this prayer?
thank you for any possible replies,
