Dear tom izbicki,
Many thanks.
Since my previous posting I've come across more bibliography,
perhaps unavailable in Edinburgh: Paolo Brezzi, "Storia degli anni santi"
(1949) and especially, Hermanus Schmidt (ed.), "Bullarium anni sancti"
(pontificia universitas gregoriana. textus et documenta... series
theologica, 28 (Rome?, 1949) [which would be interesting to look at in any
case, and particularly if it included 1423].
Also Raymonde Foreville, essay xvi, pp.32-33, in her Variorum collection
"Thomas Becket dans la tradition historique et hagiographique" [she makes
much of the translation of Becket in 1220, engineered by Stephen Langton,
which was a 50-year jubilee of Becket's martyrdom] (London, 1981), states
that 1423 was a Jubilee year [but she is also plugging the Becket
connection, of course: 1420 was another Becket jubilee at Canterbury]. Cf.
her "Le jubile de s. Thomas Becket du xiiie au xve s. (1220-1470) (Paris,
1958). The idea of Jubilee, however, is complex and has its own list of
titles devoted to it!
