medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear All, I am hoping the collective expertise of this list might be able to solve a problem for me. In Schneyer's Repertorium he lists a certain sermon by John of Essone in BNF Lat 16499, fols 194v-195v to Louis IX. The hand is quite messy. The saint is NOT, however, Louis (Ludovicus), but another saint, whom I can't identify. The saint is called somethign like LANDRICUS. The scribe/author consistently abbreviates his name. Lad'ci / Lad'cus / Lad'9 (=us), etc., depending upon the part of speech. In all cases the "a" comes with a suspension over it. So, something like Landricus, or Landercus. But I cannot place such a saint; having perused through the Oxford dictionary of saints, and the like. If any body is inspired as to whom this might be, I would be quite grateful. thanks in advance, Cecilia Gaposchkin ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
