Dear list-members,
I am currently researching the role of the cult of the saints in the
life of crusading armies. I have investigated the homiletic side, but
am not sure where to begin in checking the use of the liturgy of their
feastdays and other church feasts by the army's clergy on campaign.
Does anyone know which sort of liturgical handbooks would be likely to
be used by Paris-educated ecclesiastics from the area of Northern
France (including Paris and Reims), the Lowlands or the province of
Cologne? Also would the Latin Kingdom follow any particular regional
liturgical custom (perhaps from 'France'?) I would be greatly indebted
for any tips on where to begin looking.
Also, does anyone know of a good dictionary for Latin military terms?
Latham's wordlist and Lewis and Short have fallen short in this
respect.
Many thanks in advance,
Jessalynn Bird
