medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
It's most likely to be a reference to the Angelic Salutation in its simplest form: _(H)ave gratia plena dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus_ (Lk 1:28). See (e.g.) John D. Miller, _Bead and Prayers: The Rosary in History and Devotion_ (Continuum, 2002), pp. 41-42, available via Google Books at <http://tinyurl.com/c95y9e5>.

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?

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?
