medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

A couple of additions to Julian's reply to Meg's question.

A very detailed examination of St. Gall calendars is Emmanuel Munding, Die
Kalendarien von St. Gallen aus 21 Handschriften neuntes bis elftes
Jahrhundert, 2 vol = Texte und Arbeiten herausgegeben durch die Erzabtei
Beuron, I. Abteilung, Hefte 36 & 37 (Beuron in Hohenzollern, 1948-51).
If I remember correctly Munding attributes at least one of the texts he
studies to Reichenau.

Also, in addition to his book on calendar reform, Arno Borst has a massive
three-volume edn of calendars in Der karolingische Reichskalender und
seine Ueberlieferung bis ins 12. Jahrhundert, MGH, Libri memoriales 2
(Hanover, 2001).

Best,
John
