medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Meg, Are you spreading your net wide enough to include breviaries and other liturgical mss for the daily office? Those, of course, are chock full of Latin lessons on individual saints (usually drawn from the saint's vita), with special prayers in their honor and often also poetic texts written to be sung on their feastday as hymns, antiphons, responses to the lessons, etc. Such mss are reputed to be standardized and predictable, but in my experience the earlier ones (those written before the 15th century, esp) are full of interesting surprises.
